The Adventures Of The Young Master - Chapter 748

When Jin Rou arrived at auction house, he was greeted with a fine man with average features, “Esteemed Sir, are you here for our grand auction?”

“Indeed.” Jin Rou answered. He didn’t bother looking at the receptionist who received him.

“Then please proceed to out cash counter, you have to pay 500 gold for our Knight Protection Guarantee. We require this payment to ensure our clients’ safety all of the time.” The fine man explained with calm tone. He never judged people based on their appearances. After all, he learned a hard lesson in the past.

Jin Rou showed his black card and said, “I have this card. Do I have to pay for it, still?”

The fine man was surprised to see this black card. He grabbed it to check its authenticity and gasped, “VIP Customer, welcome!”

The card was legitimate. It was the black card that was given by their auction house for the most distinguished and most respected people of the world. As a matter of fact, monarchs weren’t even sure to be qualified to have one. Perhaps those who had 7 palaces or more would qualify.

The fine man’s expression turned into the warmest of warmth, “I will be guiding you to your private lounge, may I? By the way, please call me Xui.”

“Sure.” Jin Rou had no reason to turn this down, “Please, after you.”

Xui was ecstatic. It was the first time he was serving a VIP customer as the other workmates of his were always greedy.

After that, Xui gestured Jin Rou to enter a private lounge with a number 09. Since Jin Rou was a VIP customer, he deserved to be treated as one of the best.

Jin Rou observed the lounge. It was embroidered with the finest materials and diamonds. He was sure about it as everything was sparkling here. There were three golden chairs in the middle. It appeared that this lounge could accommodate three persons of the same group.

Jin Rou sat at the middle of the seats. It was quite comfortable and refreshing.

“Good place.” Jin Rou commented. The auction house deserved this praise as they prepared well, “How many clients do you have in this auction? Tell me something about it.”

“Thank you for the praise, Esteemed VIP.” Xui smiled and answered the question, “As for your question, our grand auction have the maximum capacity of 50 people along with 10 VIP rooms like this. The 25 seats are available for the public while the other 25 seats are for the powerhouses we have invited.”

Jin Rou nodded. Usually, the number of people in an auction house would amount to hundreds or even thousands. After all, it was an auction so many people would be interested at least to participate in it. It was filled with treasures and a good time to widen their horizons.

Jin Rou looked at the seats below. It was already filled and there’s no more space.

“Then, the rules of the auction is still the same?” Jin Rou asked.

“Yes, Esteemed VIP.” Xui was beaming with smile, “Just like our previous auctions, we will accept bids of treasures. However, the treasure required for exchange is solely decided by the owner of the treasure.”

Basically speaking, it wasn’t an auction but a trade. Anyway, Jin Rou didn’t care less. He was here to watch the show and had no plans in participating unless there was a treasure that he’d like.

Jin Rou had no more questions so he remained silent. Xui also didn’t bother Jin Rou as he was afraid of offending him. It was an owner of their black card. Owners of this card had to be treated with utmost respect.

“How long before the start of the auction?” Jin Rou asked after a short silence. Suddenly, he thought of something.

“Uh, 10 mins more or less, Esteemed VIP.” Xui answered.

“10 mins is enough. Can I put a last minute treasure for the event?” Jin Rou smiled.

Xui didn’t know what to answer. The line up of treasures had already been finalized and only three items will be up for today’s grand auction. However, he couldn’t say no as it was a request coming from one of the most distinguished persons of their auction house.

Stuck in an awkward place, Xui had to excuse himself and said, “Then I’ll be calling out the manager for this as I have no power to decide. Can you please wait for a moment?”

“Sure.” Jin Rou nodded. He was willing to wait.

Minutes after Xui left the lounge, he returned immediately with a person in tow.

She was wearing a black suit. She was beautiful in a sense but Jin Rou could see that she’s wearing a mask to hide her identity. Nevertheless, it wasn’t his issue anyway.

The beautiful lady walked up to Jin Rou and asked, “Hello, I am Xina the manager of this auction house. I have heard from my subordinate that you would like to put a treasure in our auction?”

When Manager Xina heard that a distinguished customer wanted to put up a treasures on their auction, she immediately rushed to see who was the person. Unfortunately, she wasn’t familiar with him.

“Yes, is it possible?” Jin Rou asked.

“It is possible. But it will solely depend on the level of the treasure you will be putting. Although you are one of the most distinguished clients we have, we don’t accept normal treasures or above normal ones.” Manager Xina smiled, explaining the things needed.

“Then please check if this treasure is worthy or not.” Jin Rou took out a piece of gold bar.

Manager Xina was stupefied to see this. A piece of gold bar? She was about to reject it when she felt something was wrong with the gold bar. After that, she realized something as she widened her eyes, “Eternity Gold?! How is that possible?”

Eternity Gold was very important to a cultivator as it was one of the vital ingredients to nurture an Immortal Flower, a flower that could extend a dying person’s lifespan by a certain degree!

It was mostly sought by behemoth lineages as they have currently dying ancestors that they didn’t want to die.

The thing was, Eternity Gold was supposed to have long disappeared from the world. How was that possible that one had this?
