## Chapter 2546: The Auction Begins

Lu Yuan's frown was almost comical. He couldn't solve the problem at hand, but he had to face it. His head was about to explode.

Lin Moyu could only silently express that he couldn't help.

Lin Moyu asked, "What good things will be in this auction?"

Lu Yuan hesitated and then lowered his voice, "According to the regulations, it must be kept confidential, but since Mr. Lin asked, I can reveal that there are ten fourth-level world-class origin crystals in this auction."

While he was speaking, he closely observed Lin Moyu's expression. When he found that Lin Moyu was not moved at all, Lu Yuan became more certain that Lin Moyu was unusual. Ordinary people would be excited upon hearing about world-class origin crystals. Even a peerless genius would show some reaction. But Lin Moyu did not change at all; it was as if he turned a deaf ear to it. This made Lu Yuan feel that Lin Moyu had seen the world and looked down on world-class origins.

How could he know that Lin Moyu had five fifth-level world-class origin crystals in his possession? And in the future, he could also fuse stronger world-class origin crystals, so he had no interest in the fourth-level world-class origin crystals that Lu Yuan mentioned.

Seeing that Lin Moyu did not respond, Lu Yuan changed the subject and asked, "I wonder what kind of treasure Mr. Lin needs."

Lin Moyu said, "Are there any high-level spiritual materials, such as spiritual origin crystals?"

Lu Yuan was stunned and the corners of his mouth twitched quickly several times, "Mr. Lin, you must be joking. Spiritual origin crystals are too precious. Even if there were any, they would not be auctioned in a branch; only the headquarters would be qualified to auction them. Ordinary people can't even see spiritual origin crystals, let alone obtain them. Even those big families may not have seen them."

Then he asked tentatively, "Mr. Lin, have you seen spiritual origin crystals?"

Lin Moyu smiled, "I have seen them before."

"Mr. Lin is truly amazing, to have even seen spiritual origin crystals." Lu Yuan guessed Lin Moyu's identity and did not forget to flatter him.

He led Lin Moyu into the Chamber of Commerce auction house, directly to the second floor, and opened a private room. The entire auction could be seen from the private room, and there was a formation to prevent others from snooping.

After Lu Yuan left, Xiaoyue asked softly, "Master, did you give me the quota from the Lei family?"

Lin Moyu hummed, "It should be. When you go to the core area, practice with all your strength and aim for good results."

Xiaoyue knew that the core area quota was very precious; otherwise, Lu Yuan would not be so troubled. She clenched her fists tightly, "Master, don't worry, Xiaoyue will definitely practice hard."

Xiaoyue was very touched, knowing that Lin Moyu had paid a lot for her.

At the auction, guests kept coming in and taking seats, and soon it was full. After waiting for a while, Lu Yuan walked to the auction table at the front. A formation was activated, covering the entire auction venue, and the entire space was suddenly shrouded by a strange force. This force was very strong and contained the breath of a Daoist master. If anyone dared to cause trouble at the auction, this formation would teach them a lesson.

Some people even suspected that there was already a Daoist master in the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce, hiding in the dark. Of course, this was just a precautionary measure. In fact, no one dared to offend the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce. Moreover, this was Leicheng, and the Lei family alone was a formidable barrier.

Lu Yuan stood on the stage and said loudly, "Welcome everyone to the annual auction of the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce, Leicheng Branch. Before the auction begins, I would like to apologize to everyone. Due to some special reasons, the number of core quotas for Leishan has been reduced from three to two. No more nonsense, the auction will officially begin. Please welcome our auctioneer."

Because Lu Yuan had already explained the reduction in core quotas to most people before the auction started, this re-statement did not cause much commotion. No matter what, this matter was over and would not really affect the auction.

A beautiful and dignified woman walked to the auction table and introduced herself loudly, "My name is Lu Jun, and I am the auctioneer for this auction."

"Before the auction officially begins, I will first introduce the rules of this auction. In the first half of the auction, the prices of all items are based on ordinary third-level origin crystals. In the second half of the auction, the prices of all items are based on fine third-level origin crystals. When paying, higher-level origin crystals can be used for redemption, with a ratio of one to ten."

"The first item of this auction is a magic weapon of the Supreme Realm. This magic weapon is called the Broken Water Sword. It has many formations engraved on it and was made by a fourth-level weapon refining master. It is superior in the Supreme Realm. The most important thing is that this Broken Water Sword can be inlaid with origin crystals, which can greatly reduce the power consumption of the user. If you don't care about the cost and activate all the formations, the Broken Water Sword can strike a blow almost as powerful as that of a Heavenly Venerable, but it can only strike once. The starting price is 100 origin crystals, and each bid must be no less than 10 origin crystals. Now, please bid!"

After some introductions, the auction officially began. It had been explained in advance that 100 origin crystals referred to ordinary third-level origin crystals.

Everyone in the field began to bid. The first item was not of high value and was also a hot item, so the competition was not too fierce. Soon, a Heavenly Venerable bid 200 origin crystals and won the magic weapon.

Then the second magic weapon was brought up, and a new round of bidding began. Lu Jun spoke freely. Although she was only a Supreme Being and there were many Heavenly Venerables in the audience, she was not nervous at all. In the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce, the surname Lu means you are a member of the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce. Like Lu Yuan, although he is only a collateral branch member, he is still part of the Lu family. Under normal circumstances, no one wants to offend him.

The same is true for Lu Jun on the stage. She is also a member of the Lu family. Even if it is a Heavenly Venerable, they have to give her some face.

The auction is divided into two parts, the first half and the second half. The first half is for ordinary items, and the second half is for the essence. Even ordinary items that can enter the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce auction are all fine products.

Lin Moyu said, "See if you like anything, you can go and bid for it yourself."

Xiaowu looked at the auction house, seemingly curious about every item, but she never bid. She was just curious. Ordinary magic weapons and the like could not arouse Xiaowu's interest. Instead, she was interested in some novel things. Xiaoyue followed Xiaowu to join in the fun and did not bid at all.

Items were auctioned one by one. In the first half of the auction, Lin Moyu was also not interested. With his current vision, the things he liked were all fine products, which could only appear in the second half.

Lin Moyu drank tea slowly and did not bid once until the end of the first half. Not only him, but almost no one in the private rooms on the second floor bid. The people who could be in the private rooms had extraordinary identities. They basically came from major family forces and didn't care for ordinary things.

After a short break, Lu Jun announced the start of the second half. The second half of the auction is also the highlight of the entire event. As an auctioneer, Lu Jun was obviously more enthusiastic.

"The items auctioned in the second half are all fine products among fine products. Once again, all the items in the second half will be settled with fine-quality origin crystals, please pay attention."

"The first item of the second half will be auctioned now."

Lu Jun unveiled the first item of the second half. Like the first item of the first half, the first item of the second half was also a magic weapon. When Lin Moyu saw this magic weapon, he immediately became interested!
