Nine Revolutions Star Transformation

Chapter 230: Chapter 229: Receiving the VIP Card

Chu Linfeng walked out of Delicious Pavilion and saw that the two people surveilling him were still there. However, he had changed his appearance and attire, making it impossible for them to recognize him, so he boldly walked past the two.

The bustling scene in Xuanwu City opened Chu Linfeng’s eyes; here, items exchanged with Spirit Stones were rare, most transactions used Star Stones. Even a regular weapon could sell for one to Five-Star Stones, giving the impression that Star Stones weren’t very valuable here.

Chu Linfeng didn’t linger and headed straight toward Wenqin Auction House. Based on the location Wei Qun mentioned, he quickly identified a large sign and realized he had reached his destination.

Without hesitation, he walked inside and saw a young, beautiful woman at the counter doing some calculations, while many people queued up waiting.

Chu Linfeng’s entrance immediately drew the crowd’s attention, but seeing his appearance and age, they did not think much of it. Most people here were buyers or sellers, especially given that an auction was scheduled for tomorrow, doubling the usual attendance.

Chu Linfeng didn’t rush to join the line; he had time, and his items were unsuitable to display publicly. He had nothing to do, so he wandered around the auction house.

At this moment, a middle-aged man approached him and asked, ”Are you here at Wenqin Auction House to consign items for auction or to purchase the items you need?”

The auction house had a rule: if one wished to auction something, the auction item must be given to the auction house for auction, and the Star Stones or equivalent items obtained would go to the employer, but fifteen percent of it would be charged as a service fee.

If one wished to purchase something, it needed to be registered, if the desired item was available, a certain commission would be paid as the bidding price. Then, the auction house would arrange a suitable location and room.

Of course, ordinary items could be directly purchased; people were here to buy consigned items.

Chu Linfeng looked at the middle-aged man and said, ”I do have items that need your help for auction, but it’s inconvenient with so many people around.”

”Is your item a rare treasure?” the middle-aged man asked. Such clients were rare, as many had recently gone to the neighboring auction house.

Encountering someone with valuable items was a rarity, and the middle-aged man naturally wouldn’t miss this opportunity.

”Of course, it’s a good item. I’m just afraid your auction house lacks the power to take it. Also, does your place have any medicines for healing Heart Spirit damage or soul-related ones?” Chu Linfeng asked, knowing he was gradually entering the topic.

”The items you mentioned are quite rare medicinal materials; I can’t be certain if we have them, perhaps our shopkeeper knows. But I don’t know what you wish to auction. If it is indeed a rare treasure, our Wenqin Auction House might be able to procure what you need,” the middle-aged man said.

”I can only say my item is worth tens of thousands of Star Stones; it’s inconvenient to display here,” Chu Linfeng smiled.

These words nearly caused the middle-aged man to stagger; items worth tens of thousands of Star Stones were rarely seen in auctions these years.

”Sir, please follow me to the inner hall, and I will immediately invite our shopkeeper over,” Chu Linfeng followed the middle-aged man to an exquisite room.

The middle-aged man then left, leaving Chu Linfeng alone in the room, where he admired the room’s decor with a sigh.

In a few words: Elegant, classical, luxurious, and sophisticated. This likely wasn’t the best room, meant for hosting items of particular value and rarity.

Before long, the middle-aged man returned, accompanied by a white-haired elder in a white robe who, upon entering, didn’t ask Chu Linfeng directly but instead scrutinized him.

After a moment, the elder said, ”I heard you have an item you need our auction house to help auction, what is the item? Please take it out for us to see.”

Chu Linfeng didn’t take it out directly but glanced around. The middle-aged man immediately said, ”Rest assured, sir, this room is specifically for VIPs to showcase rare items; it has excellent soundproofing and security.”

Our Wenqin Auction House has maintained high credibility in this regard over the years, never leaking client information.”

Chu Linfeng chuckled, ”I’m just worried; if you two can’t recognize my item, I’ll be in trouble.”

Then he took out an Ice Crystal from his Storage Ring, which immediately lowered the room’s temperature with its Ice Cold Qi.

Chu Linfeng noticed their shocked expressions, their faces filled with surprise until the elder, after a while, dared to ask, ”Sir, is this an Ice Crystal?”

They indeed recognized the item, and their expressions showed significant shock; Chu Linfeng smiled, ”Yes, this is an Ice Crystal. Does it count as precious?”

”It does, sir, are you deciding to auction it with our Wenqin Auction House?” The elder was evidently excited.

”Naturally, why else would I visit? Of course, if you aren’t willing, I’ll have to go to Pingwu Auction House, and I’m sure they won’t decline,” Chu Linfeng laughed. Now was the time to raise his value; later negotiations would be tricky.

”Since you favor our Wenqin Auction House, we will certainly strive to handle it well for you,” the elder’s tone changed significantly.

”How much is this Ice Crystal worth?” Chu Linfeng sought an estimate. He needed certain items during this auction, and if the Ice Crystal’s price wasn’t sufficient for his purchases, it would complicate things.

”The Ice Crystal is quite rare and a dream artifact for Martial Artists who’ve mastered Water Element Molecules. Its value should be between fifty thousand and three hundred thousand Star Stones,” the elder responded promptly.

The more valuable the item, the higher the auction house’s commission; indeed, Chu Linfeng was now considered a VIP.

Chu Linfeng then took out a Fire Crystal from his Storage Belt and said, ”And what about the value of this Fire Crystal?”

The appearance of the Fire Crystal surprised the two even further; the middle-aged man wasn’t as affected, perhaps having never seen one, but the elder asked, trembling, ”Sir, do you want to auction this Fire Crystal too?”

”Yes, what’s the price?” Chu Linfeng inquired.

”The price of a Fire Crystal is much higher than an Ice Crystal, as more Martial Artists master the Fire Element. This Fire Crystal could be priced between two hundred thousand and one million,” the elder answered truthfully.

”Good, I’ll leave these two crystals in your care for auction, but on one condition: if your auction house can’t fulfill it, I’ll have to go elsewhere,” Chu Linfeng said.

”What is it? There’s nothing unsolvable in Xuanwu City for us; speak freely, sir,” the elder’s tone grew even more respectful.

”Today, a friend of mine had his Demon Wind Steed spotted by your young master. However, my friend cannot part with it; I hope to see it tomorrow. If you could arrange this, I’ll leave the items here. Otherwise, I’ll find someone else,” Chu Linfeng stated.

”Certainly, we can handle such a minor issue. Rest assured, sir, I guarantee on behalf of our Wenqin Auction House’s reputation,” the elder said without hesitation.

”Alright, I trust you. I’ll leave the items here; is there any paperwork needed?” Chu Linfeng asked.

The elder produced a red Crystal Chip, saying, ”Sir, this is our Wenqin Auction House’s VIP card. You don’t need any paperwork; we will handle it promptly.

Tomorrow, sir, you may proceed directly to the VIP room following the card’s number.”

Chu Linfeng took a look, seeing it marked with a ’3,’ which designated Room Three.

He then smiled and said, ”I’ll leave this in your capable hands, farewell!” He said as he exited the room.

”Take care!” After Chu Linfeng left, the elder said, ”Report to the Patriarch quickly; handle the young master’s request immediately. Such possessions suggest significant influence...”
