"So that's how it is. But you don't have to worry, Mr. Shen. Fighting is strictly prohibited in Chang'an City. Even if they recognize you, they can't do anything to you." Ma Xiuxiu said with a nod.
"Having said that, it's better to avoid trouble if possible." Shen Luo said with a smile.
Xie Yuxin also recognized the young man named Wu, but she was wearing a black veil at the moment, so she was not afraid of being recognized.
Under the guidance of two stewards from Xuanyuan Pavilion, Fairy Qinghua and her two companions came to a mahogany square table next to Monk Mianyue and General Jinkui.
“Fellow Daoist Qinghua, I heard that you started to be in seclusion half a year ago. I thought you would miss this auction. I didn’t expect you to come.” Buddhist Mian Yue closed his folding fan with a bang, patted his palms lightly, and said with a smile.
"It's just an ordinary retreat. The Xuanyuan Pavilion auction is a rare opportunity, so how can I not come. But General Jin Kui, isn't he in seclusion in the mansion? How come he has the time to come here?" Fairy Qinghua said expressionlessly as she sat down.
“Haha, you can’t break through to the Mahayana stage by just practicing hard. I came out to relax, maybe there will be other opportunities.” General Jin Kui said with a chuckle.
Upon hearing this, Fairy Qinghua said nothing more and just closed her eyes to rest.
After a while, the seats in the venue were basically full, and a burly old man appeared on the high platform in front of the venue.
"Dear new and old fellow Taoists, welcome to Xuanyuan Pavilion." The old man smiled and bowed to the people present. His hands were red, as if he had practiced some strange skills.
"Master Bare Hands! Isn't he a guest of the Lei family? When did he join Xuanyuan Pavilion?" Xie Yuxin showed surprise.
"Is this person famous?" Shen Luo asked.
"This man can be regarded as one of the most famous weapon-refining masters in Chang'an City. Xuanyuan Pavilion has been recruiting talents recently. I believe he has promised him huge benefits." Ma Xiuxiu said.
"Is the Lei family willing to let him go?" Xie Yuxin said.
"Xuanyuan Pavilion has its own way." Ma Xiuxiu said.
As they chatted, the voice of Barehanded Immortal sounded again:
"Before the auction begins, I have something to tell you. I'm sure everyone present here knows my identity. In order to repay your support, Xuanyuan Pavilion will give any customer who buys an item at this auction a chance to have me refine a weapon in their furnace."
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire venue exploded with discussion, and many people showed looks of surprise on their faces.
"Xuanyuan Pavilion really knows how to do business." Xie Yuxin said with a sigh.
"Once these words are spoken, many people will probably buy an item even if they don't need it." Ma Xiuxiu agrees deeply.
Shen Luo was also somewhat tempted, but also a little nervous.
He came here for the spiritual fire in the first place, so if he could get a chance to refine the weapon while bidding, then of course he would be happy to do so. But this also means that the competition will be more intense.
Sure enough, with what Barehanded Immortal said, the bidding for the box of Five Elements Gold Sand, which was the first item to appear, became very fierce. The price quickly increased from fifteen fairy jades to thirty fairy jades, far exceeding its actual value. However, there were still two or three people who did not give up, and it was eventually sold for thirty-eight fairy jades.
