"So that's how it is."
Several people nodded, indicating that they understood. This arrangement was actually very reasonable. It was worthy of being an auction in Zhongzhou. It was indeed extraordinary and all aspects were considered very carefully.
Although there were many seats at the Meteor Auction Hall, it was obviously not enough, because the number of people who came to the scene was far more than 100,000, and many people had no seats left. However, they did not want to leave, so they found a seat for themselves, took out a bench, sat down, and waited for the auction to begin.
There were also four people sitting in another private room. Among these four people, Wu Chen knew one of them. He was Yuwen Ye, who had competed with him for the Phoenix Grass in Black Demon Ridge.
"Haha, Yuwen Ye, the last time you went to Black Demon Ridge to look for Phoenix Grass, it seems like you had a bad start and met with a complete failure." The young man on the left, who was wearing dark sky blue clothes, said with a strange smile.
Yuwen Ye glanced at him and said, "Qi Ming, you don't need to worry about my affairs."
Qi Ming laughed and said, "I'm not worried about it. I'm just interested in that person. I want to see if he really has three heads and six arms and is so powerful."
Hearing this, the man in black sitting on his right said, "It's not too difficult to meet that guy, but if you want to meet him, you have to think twice."
Wu Chen was able to defeat Yuwen Ye, and their strength was similar to Yuwen Ye's. If they forced their attack, the result would probably be no different from Yuwen Ye's.
The remaining person said, "If you want to meet him, it's not that difficult. You don't have to use force, literary means will do."
Yuwen Ye and the other three looked at him and said, "Cui Shijing, what do you want to say?"
Cui Shijing said: "If I guess correctly, he will also come to the auction. Why don't we have a duel with him at the auction? Wouldn't that be the same?"
The three men's eyes lit up. This was a good idea. Although they were not sure of winning in a fight of force, they were absolutely sure of a financial contest. No matter how outstanding Wu Chen was, he came from a humble background and came from the Dongxuan Region. He was definitely not financially well-off. In this regard, he was definitely not as good as them.
Yuwen Ye said: "If he really dares to come to the auction, then the prince will let him see my methods."
For Yuwen Ye, he was defeated by Wu Chen in Black Demon Ridge a few days ago and had the Phoenix Grass taken away by Wu Chen. This was a great humiliation for him. He once swore that he must find a chance to get it back from Wu Chen.
However, his current cultivation level is already very high. If there is no great opportunity in a short period of time, it is simply impossible for him to significantly improve his strength. As a young giant, he has his own pride and will never use the power of his family to avenge him. That would be despised by others and is not his style.
However, there are many ways to take revenge and regain face, not necessarily only by force. There are other ways to get revenge. For example, the method Cui Shijing mentioned can also be used for revenge. The prerequisite is that Wu Chen must come to the auction. If the other party can't, then he will be helpless.
"If he dares to come, I, Yuwen Ye, will make sure he can't buy anything."
Yuwen Ye said in a deep voice, a sinister aura bursting out from him.
Cui Shijing and the other two looked at him and exchanged glances with each other. They could all see that Yuwen Ye was really angry.
But they didn't say anything. To them, they were all from Zhongzhou and were naturally superior to others. They would not let a person from Dongxuan Territory steal the limelight from them. If they did that, how would they gain a foothold in Zhongzhou in the future
On the other side, in the private room where Wu Chen was, Wu Chen sat quietly on the leather sofa, waiting for the auction to officially begin, without knowing that someone was secretly planning to teach him a lesson.
However, he didn't care about all that. He sat in the leather chair, waiting for the auction to officially begin.
Their wait did not last too long. Soon, the bell rang and the place quickly became quiet. They all knew that the official auction was about to begin.
“Are we going to start?”
In the private room, Wu Chen was also in high spirits, his eyes fixed on the auction table, where a white-haired old man slowly walked out from the inner hall.
"Hello everyone, my name is Huang Zhong, and I am the chief auctioneer of the Meteor Auction House. On behalf of our Meteor Auction House, I welcome everyone here."
The white-haired old man briefly introduced himself and stated his identity.
No one said anything because they were more concerned about the auction itself.
"This auction is an annual large-scale auction held by our Meteor Auction House. The auctioned goods are of various types, complete functions, and guaranteed quality. Everyone is welcome to actively participate in the competition and buy one or two."
"There are five rounds in total in the auction. After each round, there is a quarter-hour break. There are three types of currencies allowed to be used in the auction: crystal coins, purple crystals, and black crystals. One purple crystal is equivalent to one thousand crystal coins, and one black crystal is equivalent to one thousand purple crystals, which is one million crystal coins. As for gold and silver, this auction house refuses to accept them. Please understand."
Amethyst and black crystal
Xia Youlan and the others frowned. In their Dongxuan Region, the most used currencies are gold and silver. As for powerful cultivators like them, the most used currencies are crystal coins, purple crystals and black crystals. They rarely use these two currencies, and almost never use them.
However, at this point, gold and silver have basically been eliminated by them, and even crystal coins have become the basic currency. Above crystal coins, there are purple crystals and black crystals. The gap between them is definitely very large.
As for Wu Chen, he didn't care about the issue of currency because he was an alchemist. It was easy for him to make money by refining pills. It was effortless, so he didn't care what currency the auction would use.
"Okay, I won't waste any more time on small talk. Now let's take a look at our auction items."
Huang Zhong raised his hands and clapped them lightly. Immediately, the screens around him lit up, emitting a brilliant light. Immediately, everyone saw that Huang Zhong and the auction table appeared on the screen. Every screen looked like this.
Seeing this, Wu Chen was prepared, because Hou Junji had told them before what these screens were used for, and now it seemed that it was indeed the case.
