400: Huangfu Xianyue

“Moreover, Merfolk Race women are mostly peerlessly beautiful and possess voices like celestial music, making them natural songstresses, much beloved by some noble Young Masters.”

“If Young Master is interested, we can go and take a look first,” the beautiful woman said to Wu Ning.

Wu Ning glanced at her indifferently, saying nothing.

The beautiful woman’s expression stiffened, and she dared not speak further.

“Merfolk… to think they’ve become goods, how truly miserable,” Xiao Xiao sighed softly, a hint of pity in her eyes.

“Let’s go.”

Wu Ning continued walking towards the inn, not sparing another glance.

This was the sorrow of weak races; the Myriad Realms were full of such instances, and there were many even more tragic, so he was already accustomed to it.

The reason he had taken an extra look was merely because it was his first time seeing this rather legendary race, and he was slightly surprised.

A moment later.

The beautiful woman led everyone to a luxurious inn.

This inn covered an extremely vast area, and its decorations were utterly extravagant, with intricately carved railings, jade steps, and pavilions and towers arrayed in dense rows.

The Wu Clan A group of people were arranged in an independent pavilion.

“Please, noble guests, rest here for a while. If you need anything, you can call us at any time.”

The beautiful woman said respectfully, then withdrew.

Wu Ning stood by a window on the top floor, gazing out at more than half of Ten Thousand Treasures Immortal City.

As the auction approached, Ten Thousand Treasures Immortal City was exceptionally lively today; powerful cultivators from several nearby Immortal Domains were constantly converging here, and the city was truly teeming with experts.

Immortal Kings were everywhere, and even Immortal Emperors, who were usually as elusive as a Divine Dragon, could often be seen.

Xiao Xiao got bored after staying in the inn for a while and dragged Xiao Bai out to go shopping.

Some accompanying Disciples also went out; they had come here to broaden their horizons and incidentally see if they could find any treasures, so it was naturally impossible for them to stay in the inn all the time.

The next day.

Wu Ning was dragged out by Xiao Xiao for a stroll. When he returned to the inn, he found that someone had come to visit.

It was a stunningly beautiful woman in a goose-yellow palace dress, with a graceful figure, skin like congealed fat, perfect and flawless, subtly gleaming with a crystalline luster. What was most captivating were her exceptionally bright eyes, as clear as mountain springs and as brilliant as a bright moon.

She wore a gentle smile, dignified and noble, yet very approachable, making people unable to help but want to get close to her.

“Huangfu Xian Yue greets True Martial Dao Child!”

The woman bowed slightly, her demeanor elegant and proper.

Wu Ning’s heart stirred slightly; the Zhūtian Chamber of Commerce was managed by the Huangfu Family. This woman’s surname was Huangfu, so her identity seemed far from simple.

“There’s no need for such formality, Miss.”

Wu Ning extended his hand in a gesture of support.

“Xian Yue has long admired Dao Child’s great reputation. I hope my presumptuous visit has not disturbed Dao Child’s rest.”

“It’s fine. Miss, you must be from the Zhūtian Chamber of Commerce, right? May I ask why you’ve come to see me?”

Huangfu Xian Yue softly said, “Xian Yue heard of Dao Child’s arrival and specifically came to pay a visit.”

“Dao Child’s status is noble, a Dao Lord Great Power. If anyone below has been less than hospitable, I hope Dao Child will be magnanimous.”

“Everything is quite good. I am not a picky person.”

Wu Ning said casually.

Huangfu Xian Yue smiled faintly, “Additionally, we have prepared an auction catalog, which lists all the items for our upcoming auction. Please, Dao Child, take a look.”

Saying this, Huangfu Xian Yue took out an exquisite jade slip and presented it to Wu Ning with both hands.

“Thank you.”

Wu Ning reached out and took it.

This jade slip was a special Magical Artifact. Wu Ning understood its function with just a glance. Upon opening it, an image of an item was immediately projected, along with lines of text description.

Wu Ning lightly swept his palm, and the display changed, immediately showing the image and description of another item.

It was quite Advanced.

Huangfu Xian Yue said at the opportune moment, “For this auction, we have prepared a total of one thousand three hundred and thirty-six items.”

“They are divided into three tiers: one thousand King-tier items for Immortal Kings, three hundred Emperor-tier items suitable for Immortal Emperor powerhouses.”

“And thirty-six finale items, which include many supreme treasures of the Dao Domain, as well as some special items…”

Wu Ning nodded slightly; the quality of the items was quite High Grade.

There were even several Low Grade Dao Artifacts.

These things might seem ordinary and uninteresting to him now, but to others, they were priceless treasures.

One must know that the Great Luo Dao Sword was a Low Grade Dao Artifact. To obtain it, Wu Ning had directly annihilated two top Immortal Emperor Dao Lineages, with dozens of Immortal Emperor powerhouses perishing.

For some Dao Lords of humble origins, a Low Grade Dao Artifact might already be the most valuable item they possessed.

Additionally, there were two Upper Grade Dao Artifacts, which would even tempt Great Perfection Dao Lords and were absolutely the main finale items.

“Oh…”

Upon seeing the final main finale item, a hint of surprise appeared in Wu Ning’s eyes.

It was actually a cub of a Celestial Sovereign Chaotic Giant Beasts!

He couldn’t help but marvel at the Zhūtian Chamber of Commerce’s grand gesture.

No wonder Wu Tianyun wanted him to come; perhaps he had heard some rumors. Such a thing, even if some Clan Elders came, if they managed to bid for it, it would likely be snatched away midway.

Wu Ning couldn’t help but ask, “A cub of a Celestial Sovereign Chaotic Giant Beasts, you’re willing to auction something like this?”

“Could there be some problem with it?”

Huangfu Xian Yue said solemnly, “Dao Child, please rest assured. Our Zhūtian Chamber of Commerce would not go so far as to ruin its own reputation. If there is any problem with an item, we will certainly state it beforehand.”

“We can guarantee that this Chaotic Giant Beasts cub is very healthy and has no problems itself.”

“However…”

Huangfu Xian Yue changed her tone and said, “As you know, although the potential of such a Celestial Sovereign Chaotic Giant Beasts cub is limitless, the cost of cultivating it is also terrifying.”

“It also requires at least several billion years, and in such a long period of time, anything can happen. If it perishes prematurely before it has grown, it would truly be a net loss.”

“Furthermore, our Zhūtian Chamber of Commerce is not skilled in cultivating battle beasts. After comprehensive consideration, we chose to take this opportunity to auction it…”

Wu Ning smiled faintly, saying nothing.

It sounded very reasonable, but he did not believe it was that simple.

Cultivating such a Chaotic Giant Beasts cub might be difficult for ordinary Immortal powers, but for the Zhūtian Chamber of Commerce, it was definitely not a major problem.

However, he did not ask any more questions. He would know the situation once he saw that Chaotic Giant Beasts cub.

With Ink Treasure in hand, investigating such minor matters was still very easy.

Huangfu Xian Yue spoke again:

“Finally, there is one more thing. If Dao Child has anything he wishes to auction at this event, you can also entrust it to us; we will not charge any fees.”

Wu Ning thought for a moment and took out a few items he didn’t use much, handing them to her, preparing to test the waters.

These were all selected from the spoils he had acquired from killing several Dao Lords in the past; their value was neither high nor low, and they were not of much use.

But they still greatly surprised Huangfu Xian Yue, as these few items were enough to be considered finale items.
