Chapter 1218 - 538: Auction House (Part 2)

Ning Qi nodded and motioned for the attendant to lead the way.

"Please, young master!"

The attendant was overjoyed and quickly invited Ning Qi upstairs.

He followed the attendant and soon arrived on the second floor.

"Still noisy, to the third floor!"

Ning Qi shook his head, dissatisfied with the noise.

"Alright, young master, please!"

The attendant quickly agreed and again led Ning Qi further upstairs.

Soon, with the attendant’s guidance, he reached the higher floor.

"Young master, how about this room? The terrace here directly overlooks the auction floor below."

After leading him inside, the attendant gestured downward.

Ning Qi also walked over and looked down.

Indeed, he saw the auction venue below.

The hall was already filled with quite a few people.

And in the central area was the auction platform, a site several zhang square.

It seemed that the auctioneer would be handling the auction from up there.

"Hmm, the location is quite good."

"This will do!"

Ning Qi agreed and then looked at the attendant: "How long until it starts?"

"Less than half a two-hour, young master, if you’re bored, you can visit our other section."

"There are many treasures there; perhaps one might catch your eye!"

The attendant pointed to a direction at the door and spoke to Ning Qi.

"Alright, lead the way, let’s have a look!"

Ning Qi, having time to spare, allowed the attendant to guide him.

"Please, young master!"

The attendant agreed and then led the way.

"Master, it’s quite entertaining here!"

"There are quite a few Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures!"

The Medicine Spirit on his shoulder looked around curiously.

"Hmm, let’s see what treasures are here!"

Ning Qi nodded and continued to follow the attendant.

Soon, they reached a hall where many people were idly wandering.

Counters surrounded every side.

On these counters, there were many Armor and weapons, along with Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

"Young master, feel free to choose at leisure."

"I shall take my leave now!"

After leading him over, the attendant prepared to bid farewell.

"Alright!"

Ning Qi agreed and started strolling around the area.

"Master, buy all these Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures!"

"If I could consume them, it would greatly enhance my strength!"

The Medicine Spirit pointed pitiably at the treasures on the counter and spoke to Ning Qi.

"Alright!"

Without hesitation, Ning Qi approached and asked the attendant: "How much for these herbs?"

"Young master, the prices vary!"

"This one is five hundred thousand Spirit Stone, this one is two million Mid-grade Spirit Stone."

Upon Ning Qi’s inquiry, the attendant courteously explained.

"How much for the whole counter, in Spirit Stone?"

Ning Qi was too lazy to have him recount; he wanted them all.

"Adding them altogether, it’s eight million Mid-grade Spirit Stone."

The attendant carefully calculated and relayed to Ning Qi.

"Alright, pack them all for me."

Ning Qi agreed immediately, placing a Storage Bag on the counter: "Count them."

"Surely, young master, please wait a moment!"

The attendant took the Storage Bag and went to the shopkeeper nearby to verify the Spirit Stone.

Then returned to assist Ning Qi in packing everything.

"No problem."

"Rest assured, young master, we will pack them."

At this moment, the shopkeeper returned and instructed the attendant.

"Yes."

The attendant agreed and hastened to pack the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

"Young master, you’re new here, aren’t you?"

The shopkeeper noticed Ning Qi’s generosity and initiated conversation.

"Just passing through."

Ning Qi nodded, smiling: "After attending your auction, I’m heading out of the city to take your city’s Flying Boat."

"Is that so? Why not teleport?"

The shopkeeper, curious about his reason, inquired.

"I plan to head to the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, but your guards said it’s not possible."

"So I can only take the Flying Boat."

Ning Qi shook his head and explained.

"Oh, they weren’t lying to you."

The shopkeeper nodded in understanding: "However, since you’ve spent so much here, I can refer you to our Flying Boat once the auction is over."

"With our auction connections, you can freely travel, wherever you want."

"Oh? That’s quite favorable!"

Ning Qi’s interest piqued upon hearing this.

"Indeed, being a customer of ours, we ensure benefits for you!"

"We do not conduct one-time deals."

"Our auctions are widespread throughout the Lower Realm, no matter where you go, you’ll find us!"

The shopkeeper nodded with a smile: "Young master, you’ll discover more once you explore."

"Alright, I won’t hesitate then!"

Ning Qi nodded and continued: "I won’t disturb you further; your auction seems about to start!"

"Indeed, it’s only a tea’s time away!"

The shopkeeper nodded and instructed the attendant nearby: "Escort the young master back."

"Understood!"

The attendant accepted the task and respectfully approached: "Young master, please follow me."

"Thank you!"

Ning Qi smiled, gesturing for the attendant to lead on.

"Please!"

The attendant led Ning Qi back to the third floor.

Familiar with the place, Ning Qi sought the private room he had earlier reserved.

However, upon entering, he found several individuals already inside.

"Young master, did you possibly enter the wrong room?"

The attendant noticed people inside and asked, puzzled.

"No mistake, I reserved this; your attendant brought me here!"

"You can call the attendant from the door to confirm the truth."

Ning Qi shook his head and suggested.

"Certainly, young master, please wait; I’ll be right back!"

The attendant agreed and quickly left.

Ning Qi waited patiently at the entrance.

"Master, these people are too rude, occupying what’s already paid for!"

The Medicine Spirit fumed with indignation, ready to burst into flames.

"No worries, we’ve paid for it, just clarify and move on."

"It’s not worth quarreling over such trivial matters."

Ning Qi remained calm, smiling as he spoke.

"Alright."

The Medicine Spirit complied, staying perched on his shoulder.

Waiting for the attendant to resolve the issue.

Soon, both attendants returned.

"Young master."

The previous attendant approached and greeted respectfully.

"See what’s occurring inside."

Ning Qi stepped aside for him to inspect the room.

Inside, the individuals were still engaged in conversation and laughter.

"This must be a mix-up."

"They should be downstairs."

The attendant recognized the issue, tapping his forehead before entering.

Approaching them with a smile, he said: "Everyone, this room is already reserved; you might be mistaken?"

"Mistaken? This is the room we want."

"Ask him to leave! We’ve booked this!"

"Offer whatever Spirit Stone required for compensation, we’re ready to pay."

One of the young men glared at the attendant, preparing the Spirit Stone to brush him off.

"Young master, this...isn’t proper."

"I kindly ask you not to trouble me."

The attendant looked troubled, addressing the group.

"Hey, kid, don’t refuse a toast only to drink a loss."

"Get out!"

The second youth didn’t appreciate the situation.

He pointed angrily: "If you don’t leave now, I’ll show you how tough things can get."

"This..."

The attendant didn’t expect such persistence from the group.

Finding himself in a tricky situation.

"All of you, get out immediately."

Their attitude enraged Ning Qi at the doorway.

Stepping forward, he coldly addressed the young men.

"Whoa, you’re quite feisty."

"Do you know who we are?"

The first youth mocked, turning to Ning Qi dismissively.
