BXBX NOVEL Chapter 193 Elder Yao Shan
The customer before them appeared to be in his twenties, but he managed to get a Platinum Membership card on his first visit to Treasure Trove Pavilion.
Ordinary individuals were extremely rare. An aristocratic family or financial group had to be backing him. Otherwise, it would not have been so easy for him to quote ¥3,000,000.
"It\'s alright. I\'ve always been generous. I\'ll do as you say," Wu Mo calmly responded with a smile.
The manager and receptionist immediately went off to handle the matter. Their attitude toward him was much better than before.
It did not take long for the manager and receptionist to bring the materials and a fresh Platinum Membership Card to Wu Mo\'s room.
Wu Mo naturally had no problems with the material cost reducing by more than ¥500,000. He took out his bank card and paid with it directly.
"Thank you for your patronage, Sir."
The smiles on their faces became even more radiant when they saw the money being transferred.
Wu Mo extended his hand and snapped his fingers. In the next moment, a white light flashed, and the materials that had been quietly sitting on the table a second ago were immediately stored in his Interspatial Ring.
Seeing this, the manager and receptionist were even more certain that Wu Mo was from an aristocratic family.
One should know that many of the distinguished guests who came to Treasure Trove Pavilion every day were people in high society.
However, most of them would ask their servants to take away the materials. After being employed at Treasure Trove Pavilion for so long, it was their first time seeing someone use such a magical method.
If not for the fact that his ring was still shimmering, the two of them would have thought that they were hallucinating.
"Oh, right, didn\'t you guys say that the graphite powder has already entered the auction?" Wu Mo raised his head and asked the two people before him once he put away the materials.
"Yes, Sir. At present, our Treasure Trove Pavilion\'s only stock of graphite powder has entered the auction. If you\'d like to buy it, you\'ll have to join the auction," the manager in the suit said respectfully.
"Well, that\'s fine. You can take me there now. Speaking of auctions, I haven\'t joined in on the fun for a long time."
Wu Mo\'s expression revealed a hint of anticipation. The two people beside him immediately followed suit and brought Wu Mo out.
After returning to Treasure Trove Pavilion\'s hexagonal hall, Wu Mo noticed that there was a ten-meter-long passage in the wall on one side and several burly security guards standing next to the door.
It was obviously different from the first time he entered.
"I didn\'t expect a spatial array to be used here. So, that\'s how it works."
Wu Mo nodded thoughtfully. The next moment, he walked toward the passage.
The security guards on both sides of the passage noticed that Wu Mo was being treated with such respect by the manager and receptionist, so they dared not step forward and question him.
When they found out that Wu Mo was participating in the auction, one of them asked in a low voice, "Which family is the young master from?"
"Don\'t worry about it. This gentleman has already become a Platinum Member in Treasure Trove Pavilion and has met the requirements to enter the auction."
The manager turned and left after he said this. The two powerful cultivator bodyguards exchanged looks and could only continue with their work.
On the other side, Wu Mo walked through the passage and arrived at the auction house in a short while.
Just as he reached the end of the passage, he heard a burst of noise.
There were sounds of conversation, laughter, and curses from both men and women, old and young. The auction had not started yet, but the seats were already full.
He walked out of the passage and saw the auction hall that was over 1,000 square meters in size.
The backstage as well as the display stage to introduce the auction items were on the left side of the auction house, while a dense crowd of spectators was on the right.
There were nearly 1,000 seats, but this was the result of Treasure Trove Pavilion raising the entry conditions.
If there was no threshold, the place would have probably been filled in an instant.
Meanwhile, a few staff members were setting up on the stage.
The audience was packed with people, whispering to each other with different expressions. It was as if they were discussing what kind of items would be displayed in the auction.
Wu Mo\'s purpose for participating in the auction was the graphite powder.
It was the Spirit Wave Sword\'s energy medium. The vibrating device would only be able to release energy without any hindrance if it had enough graphite powder.
In the natural world, graphite powder was not common, so there were not many places where it could be used.
Its price would usually go up to ¥1,000,000 for every 100 grams.
Even though Wu Mo had several years of forging experience, he did not recognize this.
If it were not for the information and memories given by the system, it would be difficult for him to use such materials in a short time.
He looked around and soon found a few empty seats on the right side of the third row.
There were still ten minutes before the auction began, yet the seats were already full. That was enough to show Treasure Trove Pavilion\'s appeal and reputation in the capital.
Eventually, Wu Mo found an empty seat and sat down.
He found that every seat in the audience section was equipped with a glass trough and a dedicated magnifying glass.
Even if one were to sit 100 meters away from the stage, one would be able to clearly see the details of the exhibits.
The surrounding people whispered to each other as Wu Mo leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest.
About ten minutes later, a few young individuals in Treasure Trove Pavilion\'s exclusive uniforms and a gray-haired old man walked out from both sides of the front booth.
Treasure Trove Pavilion\'s work clothes were dark green in color, and they seemed adequate and durable.
There were a few men and women standing on either side with spirit power vibrations in their bodies. They seemed to be pretty strong cultivators.
The old man standing in front of them looked to be in his 60s. He was wearing a gray hat, and although he had many wrinkles on his face, he exuded a heroic spirit.
He looked at the crowd with a sharp gaze and seemed to be an important figure in Treasure Trove Pavilion.
"I understand that everyone has been waiting for a long time. Today, Treasure Trove Pavilion\'s auction will be hosted by me, Yao Shan. The 50 items to be displayed today have all been carefully selected by this old master. I hope everyone will like them," the old man who called himself Yao Shan said in a clear voice.
His spirit was bright, and his voice was like a great bell. with one look, one could tell that he was a cultivator with great strength.
Together with the young men and women behind the old man, there were seven of them in total.
The presence of seven four-star and above cultivators showed how much importance Treasure Trove Pavilion placed on this auction.
Wu Mo narrowed his eyes as he analyzed the situation in his mind.
Most of the audience members in the auction house had become excited because of Yao Shan\'s appearance.
"Elder Yao Shan is in great shape. Every time Treasure Trove Pavilion holds an auction, Elder Yao Shan personally hosts it. This is one of those rare occasions where we get to see him."
"Of course. Elder Yao Shan is the soul of Treasure Trove Pavilion. Without him, we wouldn\'t even have the energy to bid."
The audience members all began to speak out in praise, among which there was no lack of attentive young people.
