Before leaving the Holy Spirit Academy, Zhao Letian used the Disguise Technique to transform into a burly man with a beard and also employed the Concealing Breath Technique to hide his cultivation level.
He had offended many people in the city, so naturally, he could not go out with his real face; otherwise, it would be very dangerous.
As for the Holy Monarch Token he possessed, it could block overt attacks but not covert ones, so to be on the safe side, he had to be cautious.
Moreover, he did not want anyone to know about the errands he had to run today.
"Ten Thousand Treasure Tower, this is the place."
After flying on his sword for a long time, Zhao Letian arrived in front of a grand high-rise building.
This Ten Thousand Treasure Tower is one of the largest firms in the Royal Capital, and today there happened to be an end-of-month auction.
Zhao Letian put away his sword and entered the Ten Thousand Treasure Tower.
"Esteemed senior, how may I assist you?"
As soon as he entered, a pretty maid immediately came over with a smile all over her face.
"I am here to attend today's auction."
Zhao Letian got straight to the point.
"Very well, senior, please follow me."
The maid nodded and led Zhao Letian upstairs, familiar with the route.
In a short while, the two arrived outside the auction hall.
"Senior, this auction is a high-level event. The items up for bid are treasures that only those above the Sect Martial Realm can use. Therefore, an entry fee of one hundred Mid-Grade Essence Stones is required to enter."
A maid standing at the door bowed to Zhao Letian and explained.
"One hundred Mid-Grade Essence Stones? No problem. But, before that, I have some items I would like to entrust you to auction for me."
Zhao Letian was slightly taken aback and spoke with a firm voice.
The entry fee for this auction was ten times higher than that of the Ten Thousand Treasure Tower's annual year-end auction, indicating that the two were not even comparable.
However, this was exactly what he needed; the higher the standard of the auction, the higher the price he could sell his items for.
"I wonder what esteemed senior wishes to auction. May this junior have a look first?" This chapter is from the collection at *.
The gatekeeping maid brightened up at the prospect.
Many people wanted to entrust Ten Thousand Treasure Tower to auction their treasures, but many did not meet the minimum standard for participation, and were of very limited value, so the maid had to screen them first before arranging for Zhao Letian.
"You? These items are not for you to appraise. Take me directly to your appraiser. Here is my entry fee, and a tip for your guidance."
Zhao Letian spoke dismissively, and with a flash in his hand, he directly took out two High-Grade Essence Stones and tossed them to the maid at the door.
"High-Grade Essence Stone? Please follow me, senior."
The maid caught the Essence Stone, her eyes showing delight, and without further ado, she led Zhao Letian deeper into the firm.
Being able to casually give her a High-Grade Essence Stone indicated that Zhao Letian was no ordinary person; the treasures he brought might qualify for the auction.
As the two departed figures moved away, the maid who had led Zhao Letian upstairs couldn't help but show envy. A High-Grade Essence Stone was equivalent to a hundred Mid-Grade Essence Stones, a huge fortune for a maid like her, but since Zhao Letian did not reward her, she could only look on covetously.
Before long, Zhao Letian and the gatekeeping maid arrived in a secret room.
At a glance, the room was simply furnished, with only three Sect Martial Realm elders sitting behind a table.
"Greetings to the three elders. This senior has treasures to participate in the auction."
The maid saluted the three elders.
"What have you brought? Show me."
The elderly man with white hair sitting in the middle said nonchalantly.
As an appraiser of the Wanyi Alliance, he had seen too many treasures, and Zhao Letian's arrival did not pique his interest at all.
The other two sitting next to him also had the same expression, numb and disinterested.
Zhao Letian casually tossed over a small white porcelain bottle containing nine Life Extension Pills.
"Second Grade Elixir? You actually brought this trash to participate in the auction, are you even doing your job? Do you still want to keep working?"
The white-haired elder did not even look; he just opened the bottle cap, sniffed, and immediately determined the grade of the elixir. His expression immediately darkened as he scolded the maid.
Second Grade Elixirs were just daily necessities for Sect Martial Realm experts, of very limited value, and not qualified to participate in today's auction.
"Elder, I beg for forgiveness, the maid knows her mistake."
The maid, terrified and pale, quickly knelt down to plead, regretting her greed for Zhao Letian's tip, realizing she had been terribly misled by Zhao Letian.
"Trash? Open your dog eyes and see clearly what kind of elixir it is. You still have the face to be an appraiser? I think you don't want to keep your job."
Zhao Letian coldly said.
"How dare you act wildly in Wanyi Alliance?"
The white-haired elder opened his cloudy eyes and glared at Zhao Letian.
"No, this seems not to be ordinary Second Grade Elixir."
"This looks familiar, akin to the ancient elixir, Life Extension Pill, which appeared recently."
The other two looked at the elixirs in the bottle, their eyes suddenly filled with excitement.
"What? Life Extension Pill? Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
The white-haired elder quickly shifted his gaze from Zhao Letian, took out a pill from the bottle, and examined it closely.
"Have you seen it clearly? Is it really me who is reckless, or are you just blind?"
Zhao Letian indifferently said.
"It truly is a Life Extension Pill, it's my old eyes that have clouded, I beg the esteemed guest for forgiveness."
The white-haired elder, excited, his face flushed, hurriedly apologized to Zhao Letian.
A few days ago, the appearance of the Life Extension Pill had shocked the entire Royal Capital, he was very aware of the rarity of this elixir, even the Monarch himself had only acquired nine pills, how could he not be excited to see the same nine pills appearing in the Wanyi Alliance?
"Forget it, I have no time to waste with you. I plan to sell these nine Life Extension Pills one by one, set a starting bid price for me."
Zhao Letian said impatiently.
"In my opinion, this item can be set at ten thousand High Grade Essence Stones each, may I know if this suits the esteemed guest?"
The white-haired elder exchanged glances with the other two, then spoke solemnly.
"Ten thousand High Grade Essence Stones? Acceptable."
Zhao Letian was shocked inwardly, nodded in agreement.
This price was beyond his expectation, he was very satisfied, especially since this was just the starting bid, the final transaction price would surely be even higher.
After arranging the auction items, Zhao Letian took the number plate given by the Wanyi Alliance and entered the auction hall.
Meanwhile, Wanyi Alliance, due to Zhao Letian's engagement, deliberately postponed the start time of the auction by an hour and widely spread the news of the Life Extension Pill appearing in the Wanyi Alliance.
