UGB Chapter 132 Meteor Auction
Chapter 132 Meteor Auction
After some thought, Chen Xu slowly opened his eyes inside the floating island cave in Meteor City.
He originally intended to go directly to the vicinity of the port to find Nanlongyue.
However, considering that one of the important purposes of the Nan family's trip was to participate in the upcoming meteorite auction.
There are only three days left until the auction starts, let's wait until then to make a decision...
Three days later, the central square of Meteor City was bustling with activity.
It can only be said that Meteor City truly lives up to its reputation as the largest city in the Inner Sea, in the square.
Foundation Establishment cultivators are everywhere, and occasionally you can even see Core Formation cultivators.
However, the entrance to its auction house is quite small, only allowing a few people to walk side by side.
However, the spatial fluctuations flowing within it are clearly discernible, indicating that there is a hidden world inside.
At this moment, Chen Xu walked calmly through the noisy crowd and headed straight for the entrance of the auction.
The short, stout deacon in charge of verifying the funds was wearing the uniform bearing the logo of the Meteorite Merchant Guild and was checking the credentials of the previous monk.
Just as Chen Xu approached, the steward looked up.
Their eyes met, and a hint of surprise flashed across both of their eyes.
The short, stout steward verifying the documents in front of him was none other than Zhou Caisheng, who was in charge of the battle on Xiaochun Island.
Zhou Caisheng recognized the person and his slightly narrowed eyes widened, a smile spreading across his face: "It's you, kid! Why didn't you come with the Nan family?"
Chen Xu remained calm and bowed respectfully, saying, "Greetings, Senior Zhou. My transaction with the Nan family is complete, so I have come alone."
Zhou Caisheng nodded, no longer pressing for private matters, and then said seriously, "Open the storage bag and let this old man inspect it."
"Entry requires a value of at least 10,000 low-grade spirit stones. Entry to the VIP room requires a value of at least one million spirit stones."
Chen Xu asked doubtfully, "What privileges are offered in the VIP room?"
Zhou Caisheng gave Chen Xu a suspicious look.
He was just going through the motions. Could this kid really get into the VIP room?
He then lowered his voice and said, "If you want some peace and quiet, it would be better to go into the VIP room."
"Not only do you not have to worry about your identity being exposed, but you can also enjoy a carefully prepared third-tier spiritual meal."
Chen Xu's heart stirred slightly upon hearing this. He then unfastened a storage bag from his waist, casually removed the restriction on it, and handed it over.
"Please check, senior."
Zhou Caisheng scanned the bag with his divine sense, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.
Although there are only tens of thousands of spirit stones inside, there are more than ten thousand thousand-year-old spiritual herbs among them!
This value is enough to get into the VIP lounge.
Zhou Caisheng gasped, suppressing his shock, and his gaze toward Chen Xu completely changed.
This kid is incredibly wealthy!
He instantly put on an even warmer smile and secretly transmitted his voice to Chen Xu:
"Young friend Xu, after the auction, could you perhaps sell me a copy privately? The price is negotiable; I promise you won't lose out!"
Chen Xu nodded almost imperceptibly, his expression remaining unchanged.
Seeing that Chen Xu had agreed, Zhou Caisheng smiled and took out a gold card, solemnly handing it to Chen Xu:
"Young friend, please! Present this gold card upon entry, and we will escort you to the VIP private room."
Chen Xu accepted the gold card and stepped into the entrance of the auction.
The scene before my eyes blurred instantly, as if I were passing through a thin curtain of water.
The next moment, when his feet touched solid ground again, he found himself in a luxuriously furnished private room.
Beneath your feet is a soft carpet of spirit beast fur, and the walls are inlaid with warm jade that can calm the mind.
Even the air was filled with a faint, ethereal fragrance.
The room was spacious, with only Chen Xu present, and a huge transparent light screen in front of him.
Beyond the light screen, the next chapter is even more exciting: Chapter 132 The Meteor Auction, we look forward to your presence. The main auction venue is clearly visible below.
However, this light screen contains a powerful isolation barrier. From the outside, the private room appears as a blurry blur of light and shadow, making it impossible to see anything inside.
Just then, the side door of the private room slid open silently.
A beautiful maid, dressed in simple palace attire, entered carrying a jade plate.
With her graceful figure, she bent down and gently placed the jade plate on the sandalwood table in the center of the private room. Her loose neckline fell naturally, revealing a patch of delicate skin.
Chen Xu merely glanced at them, suppressing the turmoil in his heart.
His gaze then fell on the jade plate, which contained five dishes and a soup, all of which were third-grade spiritual dishes, and their aroma filled the air.
"Senior, this is a third-tier spiritual meal reserved for the VIP room. Please enjoy."
The maid's voice was clear and crisp, carrying just the right amount of respect.
After setting down the jade plate, she did not leave immediately. Instead, she stepped forward and introduced the dishes:
"This is steamed jade cod fillet, made with the tenderest back meat of third-grade jade cod, steamed with century-old sea lotus, which is best for nourishing the meridians..."
As she spoke, she naturally picked up a pair of jade chopsticks, took a small piece of fish fillet, and offered it to Chen Xu's lips.
Her movements were gentle and natural, her eyes carrying a hint of allure, and her breath was sweet as orchids: "Senior, please taste."
Chen Xu's eyes were calm. He raised his hand and pressed down lightly, his voice distant: "Put it down. You may leave now."
The maid's handing over the chopsticks froze in mid-air, her smile momentarily pausing, but she quickly regained her composure, demonstrating exceptional professionalism.
"Yes, senior. If you need anything, please feel free to ring the silver bell on the corner of the table."
After saying that, he quietly withdrew.
Chen Xu looked at the several delicious-looking, appetizing third-tier spiritual dishes on the table, but didn't immediately pick up his chopsticks, sighing inwardly:
"The Meteorite Merchant Guild's methods for winning people over are truly intricately linked..."
Then, Chen Xu's gaze fell once again on the exquisite spiritual food on the table, and he began to taste it.
The fish melts in your mouth, and the pure, gentle essence of the water instantly permeates your limbs, bringing unparalleled comfort.
The other dishes were equally extraordinary, some nourishing the internal organs, others invigorating the spirit, leaving a lasting impression.
"As expected of a third-tier spiritual dish..." Chen Xu savored the dish while analyzing the subtle changes it brought about.
At that moment, the main auction hall below suddenly lit up, with a soft beam of light focusing on the central platform.
A woman dressed in a flowing, wide-sleeved dress appeared gracefully.
A smile played on her lips, and her voice was clear and melodious:
"Fellow Daoists, you have been waiting patiently! The Meteorite Auction is now beginning!"
"The first item will add an auspicious touch to this grand event. Please take a look at the first one!"
Before she finished speaking, two female cultivators carrying a spirit beast cage covered with a black cloth walked onto the stage.
The black cloth was lifted, and a series of low gasps immediately rose from the crowd.
Inside the cage was a baby tortoise, about the size of a head, covered in pale blue scales.
Its carapace is naturally engraved with mysterious pale gold patterns, and its head and neck are tucked inside the shell, revealing only a pair of timid little green eyes.
"Mystic Water Spirit Turtle cub!" The auctioneer raised his voice, his tone carrying a hint of seduction.
"Look, everyone! This cub has pure blood and enormous potential."
Upon reaching adulthood, they can reach the peak of the third tier and enjoy a long lifespan. Their innate divine ability, the Mysterious Water Armor, possesses astonishing defensive power, making it difficult for those of the same tier to break through.
What's even more remarkable is that this turtle is naturally drawn to water, and it is ideal for keeping in caves, springs, or near watercourses.
It can spontaneously gather water spirit energy, enhancing the surrounding environment and greatly benefiting the cultivation of aquatic spiritual plants and fish!
Starting bid: 3,000 low-grade spirit stones! Each bid must increase by at least 500 spirit stones!
