Chapter 148: Second Auction
An hour passed by very quickly and it was soon time for Li Lang and his companions to depart from the auction for techniques so they could attend the artifact auction. However, as Li Lang had made a purchase, he parted with his group in order to redeem his item.
After waving down one of the servants, he was quickly guided toward the back of the auction house. While the place wasn’t as majestic as the grand hall, it was still beautifully decorated, as expected of a high-class establishment. The basic materials used in its construction, like the wood, gave off an otherworldly aura. It made Li Lang feel as if the flow of Qi in the building was smoother than usual.
Hmm, something else to look into in the future.
“Greetings, sir. I am An Yue, the clerk who will be responsible for your transaction. I believe you wanted to finish the transaction now. Is that correct?”
A young man’s voice brought Li Lang back to reality as he gauged the person before him. He wore pale yellow robes and had an eye-catching pin on his collar. The pin had the words Polarity on it, denoting him as someone from the city.
“Yes, I would like to leave early. I appreciate you for being so accommodating.”
“No problem, sir. It is my job to serve. Now, your item is the Tracing Origin Art at fifty red crystals. You can either pay in full now or half now and the other half within a month. If you delay the full payment, you will be subject to a fee of—”
Li Lang held up a hand, stopping the man mid-speech.
“It’s fine. I’ll pay in full now.”
The clerk nodded and watched Li Lang fetch a bag full of coins from within his robes. Li Lang counted five stacks of ten coins and handed them over.
“I must say, you are one of our younger customers I’ve seen. Though it isn’t surprising, considering you’re talented enough to become both an alchemist and a brushweaver.”
Li Lang stared at him blankly for a moment before looking down at his rings, realizing it was what gave him away.
