298: Quota received

Chen De had no interest in any of the previous auction items.

Those items were barely useful even for those in the Myriad Transformation Realm.

Chen De didn't need elixirs; he couldn't consume them.

Moreover, could any elixir, no matter how good, compare to Chen De's Origin Bead?

As for cultivation techniques and martial skills, Chen De needed them even less. He had skills for martial arts and bloodline-inherent cultivation techniques for cultivation.

All these things were tailor-made for Chen De, perfectly suited to him.

Both in terms of grade and function, they were far superior to the goods found outside.

So, he stopped thinking about it and, like the others around him, waited quietly below the stage.

The giant teleportation array slot Chen De needed for this trip wasn't considered a particularly precious item.

Chen De had seen the auction catalog for this event; it seemed to be the thirty-sixth item.

Because there was more than one slot being auctioned this time, there were nine in total.

They were also not put together, but sold one by one.

Thus, items thirty-six through forty-four were all teleportation slots.

Chen De sat there, waiting for almost two hours.

Finally, when he heard the auctioneer announce that the next item was the thirty-sixth, Chen De's mind returned.

The beautiful auctioneer on stage had been shouting for so long.

She seemed as energetic and vibrant as when she first appeared, still passionately introducing the items.

Chen De, however, was different; the boredom of waiting had almost put him to sleep.

Of course, sleeping was impossible; Chen De had never let such reasons delay his affairs.

He heard the person in charge on stage pointing to a token with the character 'Fang' written on it and introducing it:

"Without further ado, we can tell everyone the origin of our next item.

In fact, I'm sure you all know what we're selling this time.

That's right, it's a teleportation slot for the giant spatial teleportation array issued by our Fangtian Sect.

As everyone knows, in the Eastern Profound Domain, there are not many who possess this level of teleportation array.

Among them, only our Fangtian Sect will put teleportation slots up for trade, allowing the teleportation array to be used by outsiders.

In other words, in the Eastern Profound Domain, if you don't have some special connections...

Aside from going through our Fangtian Sect, it's almost impossible to use a giant teleportation array by other means.

The slots we're offering this time are for teleportation to an island relatively close to the Southern Xuan Domain.

Because no human force can establish itself in the Southern Xuan Domain.

So, unlike teleportation to other domains, teleportation to the Southern Xuan Domain can only go to this location.

It is also for this reason that the auction for teleportation slots to the Southern Xuan Domain is the least frequent.

Teleportation slots are not available every time, and those to the Southern Xuan Domain are even rarer.

So, everyone, if you miss this opportunity, you won't know when the next auction will be.

Opportunity knocks but once!

Now, the bidding for the first set of Southern Xuan Domain teleportation slots officially begins!

Starting price: 800,000 Spirit Crystals!

Each bid increase must not be less than 10,000 Spirit Crystals!"

As soon as the woman finished speaking, Chen De immediately called out a bid.

"One million!"

For Chen De, it wasn't that he couldn't afford a higher price.

Rather, there was no need; too high a price would inevitably draw attention.

Through his subordinates' business of trading people and demonic beasts, as well as countless donations from kind-hearted individuals.

The so-called exchange of people means transferring the population from here to there.

Handing these people over to the guys who truly need them.

Chen De's Holy Mother Sect, meanwhile, collected a small processing fee.

Having done many good deeds, wealth accumulated.

Chen De had enough Spirit Crystals to produce ten billion.

But what of it? Just like if Chen De offered ten million, he would definitely secure the slot.

Then what?

Everyone would wonder if Chen De had some special purpose for going there.

Otherwise, why would he be so impatient, so afraid of someone else taking the slot?

Attracting the attention of these people was nothing; they were all just a bunch of rotten fish and shrimp.

What Chen De feared was attracting the attention of the Fangtian Sect.

Concealing his identity at the auction might fool others, but not the Fangtian Sect.

The auction was theirs; how could they not know who he was?

When out and about, the most crucial thing is nothing more than being careful, careful, and then careful, low-key, low-key, and then low-key.

Doing foolish things for temporary convenience or pleasure is clearly not a wise move.

Just like now, Chen De being a bit low-key, a bit less conspicuous, could still get things done.

Without surprise, it seemed no one in the hall wanted to go to the Southern Xuan Domain, or perhaps they felt it was too expensive.

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment. After the auctioneer counted down three times, she announced that the slot was sold to Chen De.

Chen De only made one bid, one million, and bought the teleportation slot.

Of the remaining eight slots, three sold for over nine hundred thousand, three for over eight hundred thousand, and two went unsold.

As for why he offered that price, even though it could have been lower, it was mainly to make it more reasonable.

What strength did Chen De display?

Void Union Realm third-level!

It wouldn't be normal for someone of this level to haggle over such a small amount of Spirit Crystals.

At this point, the auction for the Southern Xuan Domain teleportation slots concluded.

No sooner had the auction finished than a knock came from outside Chen De's room.

"Hello, we are here to deliver the auctioned item."

That was quite efficient!

Chen De moved his hand from the palm print and turned to look at the door.

After confirming, both by his own senses and the system map, that there were only two ordinary Myriad Transformation Realm individuals outside, Chen De responded,

"Come in!"

As his words fell, the door slowly opened without a sound.

Clearly, all the service staff here, including the puppet maids, were specially trained.

One person held a crystal, and the other held a ring.

They quietly approached Chen De, saying, "Hello, we are here to deliver the item you won at the auction.

To ensure no unforeseen changes and understanding your desire to secure it as soon as possible.

So, as soon as it ended over there, we immediately escorted the item here.

So..."

Chen De then understood their meaning, so he readily handed them one million Spirit Crystals.

After receiving the Spirit Crystals, the two counted them and confirmed the number and purity were correct.

They handed the ring to Chen De, saying, "This is your auctioned item. The ring is a gift to you.

You can inspect it in front of us; we have a recording crystal as proof.

If there are no problems, we will leave, and any issues that arise afterward will not concern us."

Upon hearing this, Chen De activated the storage ring, took out the token, looked at it, and nodded, "No problem, you may leave!"

After receiving Chen De's reply, the two said, "Then we wish you a pleasant continuation of the auction," and departed.

As they exited the room, they carefully closed the door.

Chen De looked at the token in his hand; he knew nothing about its authenticity!

He just felt that given how serious and confident they seemed, it probably wasn't fake.

This was a token they themselves issued, sold, and delivered; they wouldn't ruin their own reputation.

He checked the token and found no problems or any hidden mechanisms on it.

But Chen De also didn't dare to be careless, placing it into a storage ring given to him by a kind-hearted person.

The interior was not empty; there were still some things inside.

The wealth within was exactly what a normal early-stage Void Union Realm cultivator should possess.

Chen De looked at the puppet maid beside him and asked, "Are all auctioned items escorted by them?"

The maid lowered her head and replied, "No, items of different grades are escorted by strong individuals of different grades. The auction house has a judging standard for this.

The item you won did not meet the standard for being escorted by a Void Union Realm cultivator."

Chen De nodded and asked again, "Then I've bought what I wanted. When can I leave?"

The maid replied, "During the auction, as long as you don't have any unpaid items, you can leave at any time."

Chen De thought about it after hearing this; there was nothing else to do by staying here, so perhaps...
