"Your Excellency, please come in!"

After leaving the city, White Cliff quickly found the private estate where the underground auction was held.

As for the two silly siblings who got rid of on the way, he really didn't pay attention to it. Since those two brothers and sisters can give up their dignity to be thieves in order to survive, they will not really kneel to death.

The private estate, where the underground auction takes place, is not very large, and is a typical farmstead, in the heart of an orchard. The ground buildings consist only of a few straw barns and a main house.

However, the surface buildings here are only a cover, and the real important buildings are all underground, which has been transformed from the giant storage cellar of the original orchard, forming a huge underground space with an iceberg structure, which is a veritable "underground auction".

After entering the manor, a beautiful woman in ancient costume immediately greeted him.

"Welcome to Xiangyang Auction, the slave family is sunny, if you have any needs during the auction, the slave family will try their best to arrange it!"

The beauty in ancient costume combs her high bun, her eyebrows are spring, and she has the bewitching charm of a mature woman. If the welcome at the auction is of such a standard, it makes Bai Ya look forward to it a little more.

"You are deep underground, if the Xiangyang government sends troops to surround it, wouldn't it be a turtle caught in an urn?" Bai Ya walked down the deep tunnel, and asked the beauty beside him in boredom.

"Childe, rest assured, there are several evacuation channels underground, not only to Xiangshui, but also a teleportation array for emergency situations, absolutely ensuring that all distinguished guests are safe and sound. Wanqing seemed to have prepared the answers to such questions, covering her mouth and chuckling.

"I see, this master is very generous!" Bai Ya sighed in surprise.

Digging a few tunnels is nothing, but building a teleportation array, even the smallest one, is remarkable.

There are only two materials for the teleportation array, one is the bone of a brute beast with spatial supernatural powers, and the other is a large alchemy with runes inscribed with runes by the master of the rune array.

The former is only produced in the Wild Savage Domain, and the brute beasts with spatial supernatural powers are extremely difficult to hunt. Except for the innate level of sect martial artists who can be captured, only national-level hunting teams can deal with it.

The latter's large-scale alchemy was also monopolized by the Xianwu Sect and the imperial courts of other countries. It's not that there are no rune masters among the people, but that there are no professional workshops where people can engrave runes.

Just like a Ph.D. without a professional research laboratory, his research results are very limited.

Being able to build a teleportation array under the manor shows that the organizer of the auction is not only rich, but also very powerful.

Bai Ya now knows why this underground auction has been held so many times without incident, I am afraid that the Xiangyang Mansion and even the officials of the Chu State may have intervened.

This is not unusual, don't look at the Immortal Martial Sect and the Imperial Hall of the Nations each erected a barrier, maintaining a parallel posture with each other.

In fact, the two are still open and intersect in some aspects.

This underground auction in Xiangyang may be a place for the nobles and gentry of the Chu State to interact with the martial artists of the sect, although the level of the trading items is a little lower.

Thinking of this, Bai Ya's interest in the auction became much stronger.

"The auction is going to take place for two days and one night, where are we going to stay in the meantime?"

"There are several floors in the basement of the manor, the first and second floors are the auction hall and accommodation buildings, and the lower floors are all leisure places. If Childe is not interested in the auction, he can take a break there and leave when the auction is over. The costume beauty introduced with a sweet smile.

While talking, the two finally went down to the bottom of the tunnel, and a small square square appeared in front of Bai Ya's eyes.

The square is paved with stone bricks, the dome is hung with incense lamps, and there are low rows of attics on both sides, which should be the wing rooms arranged by the organizers for the guests.

At the end of the square is a small, brightly lit palace, which is probably the main auction site.

"Childe is room 204 on the seventeenth floor, please come with the slave family!" Wan Qing, a beautiful woman in ancient costume, looked at the number plate in her hand, and led the way, leading the way with Bai Ya towards an attic in the middle of the right side of the square.

The attic room is simple and clean, and the walls are decorated with calligraphy and paintings, but it is antique and has a unique charm.

"Childe is still satisfied, if you don't like it, the slave family will take the guest to change rooms. ”

"Are there any other types of rooms?" asked White Cliff with some curiosity.

"Yes, some of the other rooms are more luxurious, you can prepare a banquet for Childe, and there are many sisters to accompany you!" the costume beauty replied with a smile, "It's just that those rooms need to be paid by Childe!"

"Oh!" Bai Ya understood, waved his hand and said, "No need to change, it's good here!"

"That'...... Childe needs to be accompanied by a sunny evening at night!" The costume beauty gritted her teeth and asked with a hint of shame.

"No need, wait for the auction to open tomorrow morning, and you will call me again!" Bai Ya shook his head and sent the beauty away.

Since he passed the Jing~ level, the "sexual interest" accumulated on this trip down the mountain has been much lower. This is the result of Bai Ya's diligent practice of internal qi these days, refining and refining too much qi, which will naturally reduce "sexual interest".

On the second day, Wanqing came to the White Cliff House early in the morning and waited for him to dress and wash, which made him a little unaccustomed.

"Childe, the auction is about to start, this is a flower album of some auction items!" The costume beauty helped him dress up, and handed over a hardcover catalog.

This list of lots gives a brief description of most of the lots and gives the order of the auctions, but there are a few of the most prized items that are not shown.

The auction lasts for two days and one night, roughly every two hours. During these two hours, there are both rare and inferior items, and some concentrated periods are for larger quantities.

For example: herbs, ritual materials, etc.

This arrangement is so that the guests don't have to waste their energy, after all, it is tiring to stare at the auction venue for a long time. During some auction periods that have nothing to do with you, guests can go back to the wings or entertainment venues to recuperate.

The whole auction will generally auction thousands of different items, as for why the rare items are not displayed, it is estimated that the merchants are trying to set off the atmosphere of the venue. After all, if you don't know the name of the auction, there will be more people at that time, the auction atmosphere will be better, and it will be easier to sell at a high price.

"Wanqing, who are the organizers of the auction here?" Seeing that the auction items were so rich, Bai Ya couldn't help but be curious......

"The slave family doesn't know everything, in addition to the Yanyu Building to which the slave family belongs, there should be Xiangyang General Chamber of Commerce, Jingbei Xinglin Alliance, etc., I heard that there is also Shenwu Treasure Pavilion involved...... " Wanqing's voice was very soft, and when it came to Shenwu Treasure Pavilion, it was like a mosquito.

"Oh, an underground auction actually has the participation of the regular chamber of commerce and the Xinglin Doctor?" Bai Ya groaned and touched his chin, glanced at the costume beauty and asked, "What kind of organization is that Shenwu Treasure Pavilion and the Yanyu Building you belong to?"

"Shenwu Treasure Pavilion...... The slave family doesn't know much, and it seems to have something to do with the military when I heard the previous guests mention it!" The costume beauty said hesitantly, but she didn't deliberately hide it, and then said with a red face, "As for the Yanyu Building to which the slave family belongs...... It's the Gangnam Art League!"

"Merchants, hospitals, Treasure Pavilion with military backgrounds, and brothel alliances...... This combination is really weird!" Bai Ya felt a strange feeling in his heart, and took out a gold ingot and stuffed it into the beauty's hand.

"Thank you for the reward!" The beauty in the ancient costume was greatly overjoyed, and the arm holding Bai Ya tightened a little, and her towering chest brushed against the young man's arm from time to time.

"You're welcome!" Bai Ya smiled knowingly, and became a little interested in the Yanyu Building to which Wanqing belonged.

If the welcome beauties at this auction have the quality of this sunny night in front of them, then this smoke and rain building is not simple.

"Childe, let's hurry into the venue, it should have already started inside!"

Bai Ya followed the evening into the palace behind the square and found that the layout here was somewhat similar to the movie theater in the previous life.

In the middle of the back is a built-up stage, with huge screens erected on both sides and behind the stage, separating the backstage passage.

Starting from five meters in front of the stage, there are rows of gradually raised Taishi chairs and desks, during which there are ancient costume maids like Wanqing. It's just that Bai Ya glanced at it, but found that most of these maids were ordinary, and they couldn't reach the level of Wanqing at all.

This kind of decoration is somewhat similar to the layout of the Northern Theater during the Republic of China, except that the maid replaced the tea doctor in the theater.

However, these Taishi chairs and desks in the venue are obviously just ordinary low-level auction seats, and the real VIP seats are the hanging boxes on both sides and behind the palace.

Bai Ya roughly counted the seats and boxes in the venue, and found that there were about 4,000 seats on the first floor, and there were no less than 1,000 suspended boxes on the second to fourth floors, and he was taken aback again. He really didn't expect that the elixirs, exercises, and magic weapons of inferior quality in the eyes of the martial artists of the sect would have such a great demand in the world.

The scale here is so large, no wonder even the military will be involved, it is really a moving interest!

"Childe, our location is in the VIP box on the second floor!" Wanqing greeted Bai Ya and walked from the side of the palace towards the second floor.

"I also have a private room?" Bai Ya was a little surprised.

When he was in Wuling, he had done a business of hundreds of gold in the local Shenwu Treasure Pavilion, but the guests who were able to enter this auction basically had to make a transaction of more than 100 gold with a few organizers first, otherwise they would not even have the qualifications to enter the door.

According to this statement, it seems that his transaction volume is only enough to squeeze with those people on the first floor.

"You are a jade VIP specially issued by the Shenwu Treasure Pavilion, of course there must be a separate VIP box!" Wanqing covered her mouth and smiled, "If it weren't for that, how could Yanyu Tower send a slave family to serve you!"

"I see!" Bai Ya thought it was just her luck, but now after listening to Wan Qing, she realized that she was still different from those maids on the first floor.

He didn't know that in fact, with his original transaction amount, he couldn't get this kind of treatment at all.

This was specially arranged by the Xiao steward of the Wuling Shenwu Treasure Pavilion, after all, a martial artist of the sect who can take out two martial arts cheats to sell is worth winning over no matter what, and the transaction amount is only secondary.
