Collect the rags and I become a clairvoyant doctor

Chapter 2455 Auction

Qin Fei is currently unaware of the schemes of Saito's two old dogs. After all, there are many experts in the city now, and he dares not use his X-ray vision ability casually, for fear of being targeted by others.

When you lack the strength to back it up, keeping a low profile is the best approach.

As evening fell, a large number of cultivators from within the city began to converge on the Ge Clan Exchange. The movement of those powerful auras clearly indicated that tonight's auction was destined to be extraordinary.

Qin Fei originally didn't want to participate, but when he thought about how many powerful people had gone, he decided to go and join in the fun.

He had attended auctions on Earth before, but this one was exclusively for cultivators, and he wanted to see if there was anything different about it.

Upon arriving at Fatty Ge's exchange, one finds it already bustling with activity, with many people gathered in front of the exchange, creating a lively scene.

However, Qin Fei vaguely heard some shouting and cursing, which seemed to mean that the exchange wouldn't let them in.

Upon further inquiry, Qin Fei learned that the exchange was now only allowing those who had been invited to enter, and those who had not received an invitation were not allowed to enter at all.

Some families and forces did receive invitations, but the exchange only gave them a limited number of seats to attend.

Those without a spot can only wait at the entrance now.

"It seems this fat guy had already secretly selected his clients."

Seeing this, Qin Fei did not hesitate and walked straight to the gate of Ge's Exchange.

He hadn't received an invitation, but today's auction was specifically for his few bottles of wine, and he didn't believe that the fat shopkeeper would turn away even his behind-the-scenes boss.

"Brother Qin, come in quickly."

When Qin Fei appeared in front of the exchange, the sharp-eyed Fatty Ge spotted him immediately and waved to him.

Seeing this, Qin Fei did not hesitate and immediately walked over to him.

"I heard this auction is by invitation only. You invited everyone else but not me. What do you mean by that?"

"Are you afraid I'll find out the auction price?" Looking at Fatty Ge, Qin Fei immediately slapped a big accusation on his head.

"In all honesty, I had no such intention. I've been busy preparing for today's auction ever since you left yesterday. We're practically family now. If you want to come, just come. You don't need an invitation. Just treat this place like your own territory."

Fatty Ge is still counting on Qin Fei to bring him a generous reward, so he naturally chooses to say only the most flattering things.

Hearing his explanation, Qin Fei's brows finally relaxed slightly.

People say that language is a science, and this fat guy is indeed quite talkative.

"Our auction venue isn't big enough right now. Why don't you go in and grab a spot first? I'll go greet the others," Fatty Ge said to Qin Fei.

"Okay, then you go ahead and get busy."

Because the place they are in is a temporary city built due to human settlement, the location for the auction cannot meet all the requirements.

When Qin Fei arrived at the auction site, he saw that it was just a makeshift stage with no chairs or anything except for an auction table.

It seems that Fatty Ge intends to make everyone at the auction stand.

"Brother Qin, over here!"

Qin Fei had just arrived when he heard someone calling his name; it was Li Yan.

As the so-called super genius of the Li family, he naturally received an invitation, and was almost among the first to receive one.

"Brother Li, you've arrived quite early?" Qin Fei said to Li Yan with some surprise.

“You arrived pretty early too, didn’t you?” Li Yan replied.

"I'm just here to join in the fun, I'm not buying anything."

"I've heard that the Ge family will be auctioning off a lot of good items this time. Maybe there's something you need among them?"

Although Ge Pangzi is currently the only one guarding the exchange, his family actually wields considerable influence there, and the exchange itself is quite large.

Otherwise, Fatty Ge wouldn't have been able to invite so many powerful figures to the auction all at once.

"Let's talk about it then."

Qin Fei doesn't have many crystals right now, only a little over 50,000. Compared to ordinary people, he might be considered very wealthy, but compared to someone like Li Yan, who comes from a noble family and has a powerful background, this amount of crystals is not even worth a drop in the ocean.

Therefore, unless it's something he specifically needs, Qin Fei will absolutely not participate in the bidding.

He has to store these crystals.

As people arrived one after another, the already small venue immediately became crowded.

However, Qin Fei was standing with Li Yan. The Li family was a truly extraordinary power, and with Li Yan himself present, no one squeezed past them, making it a bit more spacious.

"Ladies and gentlemen, our auction is about to begin. Please keep the venue quiet and abide by the rules of our auction."

Just then, Fatty Ge, the shopkeeper, ran onto the auction stage. Since none of his family members had come from there yet, he would be in charge of serving everyone throughout the day.

"Stop wasting everyone's time, let's get the goods out!" someone in a hurry shouted.

"Since everyone is so enthusiastic, let's get straight to today's first item."

Fatty Ge didn't waste anyone's time. With a flick of his hand, a helmet shimmering with light appeared in his palm.

"Is this...an artifact?"

The moment the first item that Fatty Ge brought out for auction appeared, the atmosphere in the room instantly became electric.

Those who are invited here are all strong individuals; they certainly possess basic discernment.

So they immediately recognized the first item as a treasure.

Using a divine artifact as an opening move, it has to be said that the Ge Family Exchange is truly powerful.

"This is a helmet of divine quality, which I believe everyone has already recognized, so I won't go into further detail. Let's proceed with the auction. The starting price for this item is three thousand crystals, and each bid must be at least five hundred crystals higher."

"So cheap?"

Upon hearing such a price, Qin Fei couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

“Hels aren’t really necessities, and their effectiveness is far less than that of armor, so the price is still within a reasonable range,” Li Yan explained to Qin Fei from the side.

"Of course, this is just the starting price, not the final transaction price, so this thing should have some room for further increase."

"clear."
