Chapter 1746 - 1746 Fan Auction House

1746 Fan Auction House

When Chi Shuyan was on the phone in the car, Fan Yin’s gossipy spirit perked up. This was the first time he had seen Master Chi talk to someone so carefully. He was curious, but unfortunately, he didn’t have the guts to ask. If his father were here, Fan Yin definitely wouldn’t be allowed to ask, so Fan Yin could only shut up obediently.

By the time Chi Shuyan finished her phone call with Qi Zhenbai, the car had already driven quite some distance. Fan Yin finally found an opportunity to talk to Master Chi. Of course, he explained that his father had wanted to pick her up himself at first, but Fan Yin had actively fought to do it.

Chi Shuyan had been in contact with Father Fan before, and he had repeatedly said on WeChat that he would pick her up himself. However, she turned him down and just had Fan Yin come and get her. Seeing how insistent she was, Father Fan agreed, which was why Fan Yin had picked her up this time.

Between Father Fan and Fan Yin, she was more inclined toward the latter. For one thing, she was quite familiar with Fan Yin now, and on top of that, he had a simpler and more cheerful nature, so she didn’t feel any pressure. She didn’t want to have to deal with Father Fan’s deferential attitude on the entire trip, which would be so awkward.

The two arrived at the location four hours later. As soon as they arrived, Chi Shuyan clearly sensed that the spiritual energy here was a little denser, and the scenery was very good. The birds sang and the flowers around them were fragrant; it was like a paradise separated from the rest of the world.

There was an array at the entrance to this ancient world. This array might look very complicated to other people, but to Chi Shuyan, who had seen all sorts of complicated arrays in the Mystic Yin Arts, it was quite simple.

Because she didn’t have much time, Chi Shuyan didn’t get Fan Yin to take her directly to the Fan residence, but to the auction house. Fan Yin thought that Master Chi was reluctant to stay at his place, and he said anxiously, “Master Chi, my dad is waiting to entertain you at home. By the way, he personally arranged a guest room for you to stay for as long as you want. Master Chi, don’t be polite with the Fan family and me. For giving me the level 6 Advancement Pills back then, my dad and I don’t know how to thank you. It’s a rare opportunity for my Fan family to entertain you. Master Chi, you must give my dad and my Fan family a chance to entertain you!”

Fan Yin was especially good at talking and his words were pleasant to the ear. Chi Shuyan smiled when she heard this. Speaking of which, she did want to visit the Fan family, but unfortunately, her man had given her a deadline, so she could only refuse Father Fan’s warm reception. Afraid that Fan Yin and Father Fan would think too much, she explained a little and even used the fact that she would be getting married and holding a banquet in a few days as an excuse, saying that she was pressed for time and really couldn’t stay.

Fan Yin relaxed when he heard Master Chi’s explanation. It was good that Master Chi didn’t have a problem with his father and his family. In the end, Fan Yin could only agree, and he drove to the Fan Auction House. Before that, Fan Yin immediately called his father to tell him to wait for them at the Fan Auction House.

When Father Fan heard that Master Chi didn’t plan to go directly to the Fan residence, he was very disappointed. After listening to his son, however, Father Fan didn’t have time to dwell on it, and immediately had someone prepare a car to go to the Fan Auction House.

In the car, Fan Yin explained the rules of the auction house to Master Chi as he drove. They actually weren’t much different from those of the Jing auction house in the capital. The main difference was that the ancient auction house didn’t use money as the currency, but spirit stones or jade.

The two soon arrived at the auction house. Coincidentally, an auction was just about to begin. Generally speaking, an auction was held once a week on Friday at 6:30pm, and Chi Shuyan had come at the right time.

Seeing that Master Chi was interested in the auction, Fan Yin immediately had the manager arrange a private room close to the auction hall. Fan Yin heaved a sigh of relief. He figured out that his father had probably informed the auction house beforehand; otherwise, it might not be difficult to get a private room with his identity, but it would be quite difficult to get a VIP room.

The manager personally led them to private room 3. On the way, Fan Yin continued to explain the rules of the auction house in detail. The manager of the Fan Auction House was very curious about the esteemed guest whom the head of the Fan family had personally said to treat well. However, the manager of the Fan family was a veteran who had experienced many storms and waves in life; he was curious, but his face didn’t show it at all. When Young Master Yin and the esteemed guest arrived at the private room, the manager immediately left to give the two some space.

“Master Chi, sit here!” After entering the private room, Fan Yin hurriedly had Master Chi sit by the window. The wooden window was pulled open, and everything in the auction hall downstairs, including the stage, could be seen. The view was very good.

At that moment, the auction hall was already filled with people who were waiting for the auction to start.

At 6:30pm on the dot, the manager of the Fan Auction House walked onto the stage and opened proceedings. “Thank you for coming all this way to the Fan Auction House tonight. There are a total of six treasures up for auction tonight. As for our final item, I hope you will like it!”

At that point, the manager introduced the auctioneer before he left the stage, and the auctioneer continued, “Let the Fan family’s weekly auction begin!”

At the last word, the atmosphere below became quite lively and tense. The Fan Auction House was quite famous in the ancient martial world; it became famous after putting up an incomparably precious Longevity Fruit that could increase one’s lifespan.

After that, the guests who came to the Fan Auction House were disciples of major families and itinerant cultivators; all of them came to the auction house to bid on the treasures up for grabs.

Everyone in the hall was quite curious about the treasure on the tray, but they were well aware that the best item would be brought out at the end, and only ordinary items would be auctioned off at the beginning. Only then did everyone calm down.

On the stage, the auctioneer immediately lifted the silk and explained, “Our first item is a Fire Pomegranate. The flesh of the Fire Pomegranate is sweet and juicy. Ingested by an ordinary person, it will have a certain mystical effect. The starting bid is 30 spirit stones or 60 supreme-grade jade; no less than five spirit stones or ten supreme-grade jade per increment!”
