Two Realms Shuttle Gate: Don't Call Me a Demon!-Chapter 905 - 494: Auction House (2 updates)

Chongzhou, Taifeng City!

Chongzhou is quite special in the Da Li Dynasty. Among the sixteen states of the Da Li Dynasty, fifteen are dominated by the Righteous sects, with the Demon Path struggling to survive.

But in Chongzhou, this situation is reversed.

Chongzhou is the only state in the Da Li Dynasty where the Righteous sects are declining while the Demon Path is rising.

In Chongzhou, the Demon Path holds the upper hand, suppressing the Righteous sects, with the Righteous sects being in a suppressed state.

Taifeng City is located at the border of Chongzhou, not far to the northwest is Qing Province. Because the Luochuan River passes through, along with being the junction of Chongzhou and Qing Province, business ships often come and go, making Taifeng City very prosperous.

However, Taifeng City is most famous not for its commercial atmosphere.

But because within the city of Taifeng, there exists an Extreme Treasure Auction House.

The Demon Path flourishes in Chongzhou, and they often have all sorts of unknown trophies that need to be cleaned and sold. Thus, an organization is needed to handle the accounting.

Thus the Black Market Auction emerged, specializing in handling various items from Demon Cultivators, and even holding special auctions for some good items to bid on.

There are many kinds of auction houses in Chongzhou, mostly arising from a mix of forces, including local powerhouses, aristocratic families, powerful Loose Cultivators, among others. Some strong auctions reportedly even involve forces from Da Li City sharing in the profits.

Although Demon Cultivators don’t abide by rules, the auctions exist because all Demon Sects need them, so no one casually breaks the rules.

It’s like a black industry chain; various black markets and auction houses are the fencing terminal. The higher the risk and opacity of the business, the richer the interests it represents, attracting the participation of many forces.

In Chongzhou, the Extreme Treasure Auction House is one of the largest, with eight branches across Chongzhou. Taifeng City has one of them.

At noon, on the street where the Extreme Treasure Auction House is located, a woman slowly walks along.

She’s dressed in black, her eyes jet-black and bright. Though her face is not particularly beautiful, it carries a mature charm.

This is Chen Yun. She came to Taifeng City on Su Jie’s orders to run an errand.

Walking to the street where the Extreme Treasure Auction House is located, as soon as Chen Yun entered, she felt numerous gazes sweeping over her.

On the street, travelers are basically all Cultivators, and since this is Chongzhou, the origins of these Cultivators are left to the imagination.

Unfazed, Chen Yun continued forward to the front of the Extreme Treasure Auction House.

This is a five-story ancient building. It doesn’t have crowded throngs; on the contrary, the flow of people is sparse. Each person entering does so hurriedly, either coming or going in a hurry, or covering their whole body with a black robe, looking tense and mysterious.

People like Chen Yun, entering openly without disguise, are in the minority instead.

Upon entering the Extreme Treasure Auction House, a specialist quickly approached Chen Yun.

"Fellow cultivator, may I ask what goods you wish to sell?"

In a room specially shielded with a soundproof array, the staff of the Extreme Treasure Auction House inquired.

"Get your leader here; you can’t handle it."

Chen Yun flicked her Storage Bag, allowing a Top Grade Spirit Stone to leap onto her palm, proving her strength and that she was not joking.

The staff of the Extreme Treasure Auction House was stunned, then immediately nodded: "Alright, fellow cultivator, please wait for a moment."

With that, they respectfully served Chen Yun tea before leaving the room to report quickly.

A single Top Grade Spirit Stone is worth over a thousand Low Grade Spirit Stones. Such an item is not commonly owned by ordinary Yunling Realm disciples, nor does it commonly circulate among disciples. It’s basically only used above the Secret Realm.

Being able to casually bring out a Top Grade Spirit Stone already warrants the Extreme Treasure Auction’s attention.

After a short moment, the secret room’s door was pushed open again.

Standing before Chen Yun was Sang’er, a genteel middle-aged man wearing a cap, flanked by two escort-like figures with cultivations of the Ten Levels of Yunling Realm. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

Chen Yun’s strength is at the Yunling Realm Eighth Level, yet she remained unyielding, her expression completely composed.

"How should I address you, fellow cultivator? I’m in charge of this Extreme Treasure Auction House. My surname is Zhao, I am the Shopkeeper here."

The middle-aged man Zhao Jiahao ordered the two escorts to stand guard at the door, then entered alone, showing Chen Yun a warm smile.

Being able to easily bring out a Top Grade Spirit Stone suggests either Chen Yun had extraordinary luck and found a rare treasure, or it indicates that a strong individual from the Secret Realm supports Chen Yun, and she is merely a front.

"Chen Yun."

Chen Yun spoke indifferently, not using an alias. Her name was not prominent, unlike a Hall Master, who would be exceptionally prestigious.

Zhao Jiahao mentally ran through the names of young elites across Chongzhou but found no impression of anyone named Chen Yun.

Still, Zhao Jiahao didn’t treat her with negligence, despite their reluctance to deal harshly. Their Extreme Treasure Auction House does business, and although merchants adjust their treatment based on clientele, Chen Yun’s unknown origin made him cautious not to offend.

"Ah, so it’s Fellow Cultivator Chen, it’s a pleasure to meet you."

Zhao Jiahao continually bowed, while pouring tea for Chen Yun, and asked: "Fellow Cultivator Chen, may I ask what goods you wish to sell this time, and if you could possibly show us?"

Chen Yun stared at Zhao Jiahao, saying, "I am aware of your Extreme Treasure Auction House, but the goods I wish to sell this time might be too risky for you to handle."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Jiahao immediately smiled confidently: "Fellow Cultivator Chen, our Extreme Treasure Auction House’s strength is top tier. We’ve even auctioned Magical Treasures. Five years ago, the Black Gold Sunflower Soul Fan, a Low Grade Magical Treasure, was auctioned at our house for 1.25 million Spirit Stones. You can absolutely trust our capability."
