Chapter 894: At the Auction
Sitting on the wooden bed in the room, Lin Kuang closed his eyes to rest, while Xiao Lu stood quietly by the side without disturbing him.
"Is it better to have all-encompassing Profound Qi, or to refine a single Element?!"
Lin Kuang continued pondering this question in his mind, as he had yet to find an answer to it.
This issue troubled Lin Kuang, and it was a very critical one.
"Ah, I still can’t figure it out, it seems I can only go to the Scripture Library of the Supreme Divine Sect to look for answers. Hopefully, I’ll find what I’m looking for there."
Lin Kuang thought, feeling somewhat agitated.
He opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Lu beside him, smiling as he spoke: "Xiao Lu, come and sit."
"Yes, Master."
Xiao Lu said respectfully, then sat beside him.
In fact, Xiao Lu felt quite lucky, at least she had met Lin Kuang and not an old man.
"Xiao Lu, do you know much about the Xuanwu Continent?
I cultivated alone in the deep mountains, and it’s my first time out of them, I don’t understand many things, can you tell me about them?"
Looking at Xiao Lu beside him, Lin Kuang asked.
"Ah? Master, have you been cultivating in the deep mountains all this time?"
Looking at Lin Kuang, Xiao Lu said with some surprise.
"Yes, is there a problem?
And please, don’t call me Master all the time, just call me Lin Kuang or Brother Lin."
Lin Kuang said with a smile.
"Yes, Ma..."
Before Xiao Lu could say the word "ster," Lin Kuang glanced at her.
Seeing this, Xiao Lu quickly corrected herself: "Yes, Brother Lin."
"Now that’s right, tell me about the Xuanwu Continent, just say whatever you know."
Lin Kuang said with a smile.
Hearing this, Xiao Lu nodded, her beautiful eyes revealing a thoughtful look, and after thinking for a moment, she spoke: "The Xuanwu Continent is a world where the strong dominate.
Here, as long as you have strength, you can get anything you want."
Xiao Lu seemed to open up as she began to tell Lin Kuang everything she knew.
This included the most powerful forces on the Xuanwu Continent and the vastness of the land; in short, a lot of miscellaneous information, which fascinated Lin Kuang.
After all, Lin Kuang knew very little, and even though what Xiao Lu said was about the most common things on the Xuanwu Continent, it was very helpful to him.
Gradually, it was time for dinner, so Lin Kuang asked Xiao Lu to instruct the staff to prepare dinner.
After dinner, Lin Kuang left the inn and went to Wanbao Tower again, where he met Manager Zhang.
Seeing Lin Kuang arriving, Manager Zhang also showed a smile.
In their line of work, the most important thing was connections; only by meeting more people could the business improve.
"Young Master, you’ve arrived."
Seeing Lin Kuang, Manager Zhang said with a smile.
Hearing this, Lin Kuang nodded with a smile: "Yes, I’m here."
"Please follow me, I’ll take you to the auction.
The auction hasn’t started yet, it will begin in about an hour."
Looking at Lin Kuang, Manager Zhang said with a smile.
Hearing this, Lin Kuang nodded: "It’s fine, I’m not in a hurry, I’ll wait patiently."
Lin Kuang said with a smile.
Hearing this, Manager Zhang nodded and led Lin Kuang into the auction hall.
The auction hall was large enough to accommodate thousands of people.
The hall was lined with rows of clean and orderly seats.
Upstairs were individual rooms, where you couldn’t see inside.
"Young Master, you are a member, please follow me to the room on the second floor."
Looking at Lin Kuang, Manager Zhang said with a smile.
Hearing this, Lin Kuang nodded with a smile and followed Manager Zhang into a room on the second floor.
The room was not big, about five square meters.
Inside the room was a sofa, in front of which was a coffee table filled with all kinds of food and drink.
There was also a maid in the room, specifically there to serve the guests.
"Please have a seat, Young Master, feel free to eat and drink here.
If you wish to do something with the maid, that’s entirely possible too; we’ll cover it for you."
Looking at Lin Kuang, Manager Zhang said with a smile.
Hearing this, Lin Kuang smiled and nodded: "Thank you, Manager Zhang, I understand."
"Alright then, please rest first, the auction will start shortly."
Manager Zhang said with a smile, then turned and left.
"Please have a seat, Young Master."
Looking at Lin Kuang, the maid said with a smile.
It’s worth mentioning that the maid was also quite beautiful.
Thinking about it, Lin Kuang felt at ease, after all, when serving guests, one’s looks had to be presentable.
Thinking this, Lin Kuang sat on the sofa, quietly waiting.
As for the maid, she stood quietly behind Lin Kuang with a smile on her face.
Lin Kuang quietly watched as people gradually filled the auction hall and the noise began to rise.
"They can’t see us inside?"
Looking at the maid beside him, Lin Kuang asked with some curiosity.
Hearing this, the maid nodded with a smile: "Yes, we can see outside, but people outside can’t see us.
This is also for safety reasons, since it’s common for people to kill for treasures.
But as long as you’re inside Wanbao Tower, no one dares to make a move, so please rest assured, Young Master."
Hearing the maid’s explanation, Lin Kuang smiled and nodded: "Wanbao Tower is very thoughtful.
Most of those people are wearing masks, probably worried about being robbed, should I wear a mask too?"
Lin Kuang pondered silently, as he knew little about the Xuanwu Continent and it would be troublesome if he were targeted.
"Never mind, I’ll think about it later, maybe there’s not even anything I like here."
Lin Kuang thought to himself.
Half an hour passed quickly, and by then, the entire hall fell silent.
At the next moment, the surrounding lights went out, and a bright light shone on the high platform before everyone’s eyes.
"Welcome everyone to Wanbao Tower’s auction, Lan Ji greets you all."
At this moment, a woman in a blue dress came onto the auction stage, bowing slightly to show her respect to the crowd.
Upon seeing this woman, Lin Kuang was a little surprised; she was truly beautiful, exuding an enchanting aura that made people feel a bit restless.
"Lan Ji, you’re getting more beautiful.
Would you like to come with me tonight? No matter how many Crystal Stones you want, I’m willing."
At this moment, a man’s voice came from one of the rooms.
The man’s voice was rather frivolous.
"Young Master, you’re joking, Lan Ji only hosts the auction, I do not sell myself."
Lan Ji said with a smile, not taking it to heart, as such things seemed to happen often.
"Ah, such a beauty, and yet I’m unable to spend the night with her, it truly is heartbreaking."
At this moment, the man spoke again, with a few traces of helplessness in his tone, sounding quite sorrowful.
