Chapter 1505: Chapter 1502: Diggers’ Guild (First Update)
Liang Ming stared blankly at this scene, murmuring to himself, "How is this possible? How could he have so many never-before-seen talisman spells?"
As for Wen Jinkui, he was even more shocked to the point of numbness.
To know that just one entirely new talisman spell, never seen by the world, is already vastly precious.
But to everyone’s surprise, this white-clad youth before them was throwing out these various talisman spells as if it was some clearance sale.
Situations like this, not to mention Wen Jinkui, even those top auctioneers stationed in major cities and who’ve seen countless rare treasures have never encountered.
"Hmm? Is this bid enough?" Xue An raised an eyebrow slightly, saying to Wen Jinkui casually.
"It’s enough! More than enough! And in terms of price, just three of them are sufficient!" Wen Jinkui answered honestly.
Xue An chuckled at these words, then turned his head to look at Liang Ming, "So? Do you still want to continue the bidding against me?"
Liang Ming’s face gradually turned grim, staring at Xue An intently, and said coldly, "I didn’t expect I truly underestimated you! But don’t get complacent yet. We’ll see about that!"
With that, Liang Ming abruptly turned around and left in a rage.
Xue An merely smiled lightly at this and then turned back to Wen Jinkui and said, "Alright, the only one bidding against me has now withdrawn, it’s time to handle matters between us!"
"Of course, sir, please follow me!" Wen Jinkui bowed and said.
Xue An nodded, then leisurely walked towards the backstage of the auction venue.
Wen Jinkui signaled to his subordinates, and those robust men stepped forward once again, repacked the alchemy armor, and laboriously carried it away.
After Xue An and Wen Jinkui’s group left, the entire venue erupted with thunderous noise.
Countless people were whispering eagerly, discussing the entire event.
"Who would’ve thought today’s auction would be so exciting! Alchemy armor, unparalleled talisman spells, either of which are rare treasures!" someone exclaimed, reminiscing with a face full of gusto.
"Who says not, being lucky enough to witness such a scene leaves no regrets!" someone beside echoed.
"Hey, do you recognize this white-clad youth who made the bid?" someone inquired.
"Never seen him before, but he seems to have entered with Liu Jingyi, the Liu Family heiress!"
"Hmm, could this event be orchestrated by the Liu Family behind the scenes?"
"Absolutely impossible, how could the Liu Family possess such financial power!"
"Then who is this young man?"
Amidst the fervent discussions, someone suddenly sneered, "Whoever he is, he probably won’t have a good ending, after all, he’s offended the renowned Liang Ming today!"
Hearing these words, many fell silent.
Indeed!
This Liang Ming, even among alchemists, is considered outstanding, especially since his master is an exceptionally formidable figure!
Today, he was determined to obtain the alchemy armor, yet it was seized by this unknown white-clad youth, one can imagine how furious he would be.
This matter certainly won’t end smoothly!
This thought also lingered in Zhuang Linyan’s mind.
In fact, from the moment Xue An started bidding, Zhuang Linyan had already prepared herself mentally.
She is a very pragmatic person, so despite being greatly shaken, she quickly calmed down and whispered a few words into a subordinate’s ear.
The subordinate nodded and immediately turned to leave.
Meanwhile, Zhuang Linyan sat upright in her seat, watching Xue An follow Wen Jinkui to the backstage, her face gradually showing a determined expression.
No matter what, since the event has occurred, it should be faced bravely! This can also be seen as her way of repaying the sir!
While Zhuang Linyan was secretly making up her mind, amidst the crowd, another person was filled with confusion.
Liu Jingyi no longer knew how to describe her current feelings.
What started as an act of youthful defiance had unexpectedly led to such an event.
Reflecting on her earlier unrealistic thoughts, Liu Jingyi was utterly ashamed.
Yet at the same time, it made her even more intensely curious about Xue An.
This guy is certainly not an ordinary rogue. So, who is he really?
Right then.
A steward hurried over and whispered to Liu Jingyi, "Miss, the Family Head wants to see you, he wants to ask you something!"
Liu Jingyi naturally knew her father was calling her over to inquire about Xue An’s background.
So she took a deep breath and slowly said, "Alright!"
As the entire auction venue was in total disarray.
In a refined yet not overly lavish room in the backstage, Xue An sat in the main seat, quietly watching Wen Jinkui continuously communicate remotely with the seller through the alchemy communicator while painstakingly selecting from countless talismans.
Finally, when he was almost overwhelmed, Wen Jinkui barely selected two talismans out of the numerous talisman scrolls, and together with the gear Xue An had previously provided, made up the necessary three talisman scrolls needed for the transaction.
Seeing this, Xue An smiled slightly, waved his hand, and the three talisman scrolls flew to Wen Jinkui, while the others vanished in a flash.
A trace of melancholy appeared in Wen Jinkui’s eyes.
Whoever it is, as long as they have some knowledge of alchemy, seeing so many unprecedented talisman scrolls disappear right in front of them would feel quite disconsolate.
But fortunately, the gains this time were considerable.
With three never-before-seen talisman scrolls, the price already far exceeded the seller’s expectations, even after deducting the auction guild’s commission, Wen Jinkui himself would receive a handsome reward.
More importantly, this transaction would mark a significant milestone in his career, possibly even paving the way for his promotion to a top auctioneer.
All this led Wen Jinkui to hold Xue An in even greater esteem.
After all, being able to casually present so many talisman spells, this youth likely has an unfathomable background.
Nevertheless, Wen Jinkui seemed somewhat hesitant to speak.
"Does Mr. Wen have something to say?" Xue An said casually.
Wen Jinkui cupped his hands, "Mr. Xue, please just call me Jinkui! Indeed, there are two things I’d like to say to you!"
"Firstly, regarding this transaction, the seller is very satisfied with the talisman scrolls you’ve provided. Realizing you have many talisman scrolls, they wish to establish a long-term collaboration with you!"
"Collaboration?" Xue An said casually.
"Exactly! Collaboration! Sir, you might not know who today’s seller is!"
"Oh, who is it?"
"Typically, in the auction guild, the seller’s identity is absolutely confidential, but this time the seller personally authorized it, so it’s not a breach of the rules! The seller this time is from the Digger’s Guild!"
"Digger’s Guild?" Xue An was slightly taken aback.
"Exactly!"
