Tiannan City Tiandi Auction House

"Sir, we cannot tell you in advance what will be auctioned tomorrow!"

"I hope this guest will understand that our auction house is trustworthy."

The lady at the counter looked embarrassed and said it was difficult to meet the request made by the man.

The reason why an auction house is an auction house is because it hides things in the venue that buyers are not aware of.

Even if it happened right before the auction started, at most some rumors would have leaked out.

If customers know in advance what is to be auctioned, their sense of novelty about the items will be greatly reduced.

"I know the rules of your business, and I won't deliberately make things difficult for you."

Chen Yu took a breath, a "hissing" sound came out of his mouth, and then cold air came out from the tip of his nose.

"How about this, you call your shopkeeper here."

The young lady looked at Chen Yu with some embarrassment, mainly because she was unsure of the identity of the man in front of her.

She saw the white robe of the man in front of her, the jade pendant on his waist, and the tassel on the hilt of his sword.

All these indicate that Chen Yu is a wealthy master.

But for tomorrow's auction, wealthy businessmen from all over the Xuanwu Continent and even immortal cultivators will come to visit.

She has already driven away quite a few people like Chen Yu today.

"That's not a good idea, sir. Our shopkeeper is busy preparing for tomorrow's auction."

The lady immediately gave a signature fake smile, and Chen Yu also responded with a polite smile.

"I heard that you guys had already made preparations a few days ago. After all, this auction is going to be very grand."

The young lady had a smile on her face, but she was already depressed at heart.

She thought to herself, here it comes again, how come this man knows everything? No excuse can get him away with it.

How could she know? Chen Yu knew exactly what was going on in the mind of an ordinary person like him facing an immortal cultivator.

Of course, not all cultivators have the ability to "read minds". Thanks to Chen Yu's extensive and diverse knowledge, he was able to use it to deal with various situations.

"Sir, it's not that I don't want to call the shopkeeper, it's just that he is really busy today."

The young lady had no choice but to continue speaking, the smile on her face almost unable to be maintained.

Chen Yu suddenly leaned on the stage, holding something in his hand, and slowly pushed it in front of the lady.

The young lady took the item, was stunned at first, and then picked it up.

She covered it with her left hand, held the thing in the palm of her right hand, and looked at it carefully several times.

After a while, perhaps having confirmed what was in front of her, she put it down.

"If that's the case, I'll take you to see the shopkeeper now." She pushed the thing in front of Chen Yu.

The young lady changed her attitude and became very respectful, even her fake smile became more sincere.

Chen Yu took the thing. Even from a distance, he could see the gold-plated word "Chen" on the item.

But Chen Yu concealed it very well, and the other guests present did not see what he gave to the lady.

Chen Yu walked behind the young lady, who suddenly became nagging.

Every time she passed a place, a piece of porcelain, or a jade pendant on display, she would introduce it concisely and enthusiastically.

Chen Yu didn't say anything, but he didn't stop the young lady from speaking.

The woman's voice was very pleasant, soft and gentle without making people sleepy.

Soon, Chen Yu was brought to the shopkeeper's door.

That was the most remote place on the first floor. The house was built extremely high, with more than twenty floors from top to bottom, and each floor could accommodate at least a hundred people.

Although there were exaggerated and visibly gorgeous decorations everywhere, the boss's house was actually quite simple.

The woman knocked on the door and an echo soon came from inside the house.

It was a deep and somewhat vicissitudes voice that said through the wooden door: "Come in."

The door was pushed open by the woman. The decoration inside the house was exactly the same as outside. Just as Chen Yu thought, it was too simple.

An old man sat up from a rattan chair, leaning on a cane.

As if to maintain his dignity in front of outsiders, Chen Yu came for an incense stick of time, and he still had his back to Chen Yu.

The woman opened the door and wanted to say something, but the old man interrupted her as soon as she opened her mouth.

According to past experience, the intention was probably to drive the woman away.

The woman seemed to be very afraid of the old man. Her body trembled uncontrollably, but she still stood beside Chen Yu.

Chen Yu just stood there, the air became quiet, and both sides wanted the other to speak first.

Chen Yu naturally would not follow the old man's wishes. According to his age, the old man could indeed be considered an elder.

But in terms of qualifications and background, Chen Yu can be considered a senior.

The old man seemed to have just remembered that Chen Yu was a guest.

The old man spoke first, but there was still a natural hint of contempt in his voice.

"I wonder why this gentleman came to my auction?"

The old man spoke with an unknown sense of oppression. His left hand covered his right hand, and his right hand was supporting the crutch.

"Does this old man want to intimidate me?" Chen Yu thought to himself.

He narrowed his eyes, and golden light flowed in his pupils. An extremely clear and bright light swept the old man from head to toe.

The old man turned his head and looked up at Chen Yu, his expression gradually becoming gloomy.

"Boy, you dare to come and investigate my background?"

The old man's voice carried the pressure of the fusion realm, and the woman beside him was shocked by the pressure and could not stand up straight.

If Chen Yu hadn't held up his hand to protect her, she would have been crushed into pulp by this spiritual pressure.

On the other hand, Chen Yu not only took good care of the maid, but also acted as if nothing had happened and was not at all moved.

"Who is this kid? Who in Xuanwu Continent doesn't know the reputation of Qian Yan?"

"How dare a kid at the Foundation Establishment Stage be so arrogant?" Qian Yan thought.

She also saw a hint of unnatural expression on the face of the woman next to Chen Yu.

It was not the unnatural feeling caused by external pressure, but the strangeness caused by the vigilance against the man in white robe beside him.

Seeing that Qian Yan had stopped moving, Chen Yu smiled.

His smile was flamboyant, even a little exaggerated, and the light in his eyelids seemed to be able to see through everything about the old man in front of him.

He cupped his hands, nodded slightly, and said in a gentle tone and calm expression: "He is at the peak of the Fusion Realm, and has been trapped in the Half-Step Spiritual Severing Realm for 490 years. He is almost old."

"It seems that this old gentleman really needs to break through the realm in order to prolong his life."

The life span of a cultivator in the Fusion Realm is 500 years, that of a cultivator in the Spirit Severing Realm is 1000 years, and that of a cultivator in the Emperor Realm is 5000 years.

If mortals use longevity pills to prolong their lives, they can live for up to 300 years.

But in this lower world, cultivators in the fusion realm alone only account for 0.1% of the total population.

Qian Yan's expression changed from anger to panic.

"How do you know? Who are you?"

He understood that he had underestimated the young man in front of him.

If this person is really at the Foundation Establishment Stage, with his cultivation level, he can discern the true state of the peak of the Fusion Stage, which is something that is rarely seen in a thousand years.

If this person is not in the Foundation Establishment Stage, but has hidden his own cultivation, then Qian Yan will be even more unable to afford to offend him!

Maybe, this person's realm has already surpassed the fusion state, and he has even stepped into the realm of separation of spirit!

Qian Yan's face showed an embarrassment he had never had before, and everything about him was exposed in Chen Yu's eyes.

Chen Yu said calmly, "I am Chen Yu, the son of the Chen family of the Emperor's Clan."

As he finished speaking, the old man's eyes widened in shock, and the cane in his hand fell to the ground along with his body.
