Chapter 1007 Wanbaoge Auction
The Sea of Death is vast, and it is rumored that there are even many islands on it, inhabited by powerful soul beasts.
The sky is often overcast, and severe weather such as storms and thunderstorms frequently occur.
However, the map in Tang Lan's hand only marked a few locations on the outer edge of the Sea of Death; the rest was just a dark mass like a swamp.
The other sea areas were marked fairly clearly, and Tang Lan was able to confirm that this was just a typical sea area map.
"Oh! Is that so?"
"But this map is the most detailed one I've ever asked around the whole city for."
"The Sea of Death is too dangerous. Ordinary forces simply cannot draw up a map of its terrain. Even our Will family does not have such a map."
Lin Ni explained somewhat embarrassedly.
She was somewhat disappointed that she couldn't help Tang Lan, but it was already the best she could do.
"Okay, don't be too sad. I know you've done your best!"
"Only a few major powers probably have the ability to draw the terrain of the Sea of Death. I wonder if there will be any at the auction."
"I'm going to the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce's auction tomorrow. How about it, are you interested in coming with me?"
Tang Lan smiled and extended a warm invitation to Lin Ni and Qiao Na.
The master and apprentice exchanged a glance, then Qiao Na spoke first: "The Wanbao Chamber of Commerce's invitations require prior appointment verification. We didn't make an appointment in advance, so I'm afraid we won't be able to get into this auction!"
"Yeah, how about we sneak in?"
Lin Ni thought of the simplest and most direct method, squinted her beautiful big eyes, and waited for Tang Lan's answer.
To everyone's surprise, Tang Lan nodded and said, "Hmm, that's a good idea."
"We'll deal with tomorrow's issues tomorrow. In short, you can rest assured, we will definitely get in!"
"Then it's settled. We'll set off first thing tomorrow morning."
After Tang Lan finished speaking, she waved to the two beautiful women, one tall and one short, and then walked towards the main building where she lived.
Lin Ni followed Qiao Na to another bamboo house.
Nothing was said that night.
The next morning, the three of them ate something simple in the city and then went to the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce together.
Before the person even arrived, the streets were already teeming with people, all of whom were Soul Masters of level 50 or above.
Only a few young people with lower cultivation levels came with their elders.
Most of these people were dressed smartly, clearly there to attend this grand auction.
At the very front of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, a long line of people had already formed.
At a rough estimate, at least 500 people will attend this trade fair.
Of course, through Jona and Linni's explanation, Tang Lan also learned that the auction was divided into an outer area and an inner area.
The items auctioned at outdoor auctions are relatively inexpensive and not too expensive, making them quite affordable.
The truly rare and expensive treasures are always taken inside the inner area, and only Soul Masters who have spent 500,000 Gold Soul Coins can enter the inner area.
This requirement aims to minimize the number of people present, which could disrupt the auction process.
"Anyone interested in joining the auction?"
"The auction invitation is reasonably priced, no deception, only 88,888 Gold Soul Coins!"
"Items can be exchanged; free valuation available."
Just as the three were looking around, a middle-aged man with a goatee was quietly calling out to passersby from a corner not far away.
Judging from his furtive manner, he doesn't seem like a good person.
"He really does have an invitation! It can't be fake, right?"
Lin Ni peeked out and looked around for a long time, then made a somewhat uncertain guess.
"We'll know if it's fake or not once we go over and take a look. Let's go!"
Without hesitation, Tang Lan took a step and headed towards the man's location.
This guy set up a small stall on the ground, displaying some strange and unusual trinkets, including soul tools and some crafting materials.
But perhaps the most important thing is the cloth bag he's wearing, which contains several invitations with gold trim.
The man beamed when he saw Tang Lan and her companions approaching, and immediately spoke to Tang Lan, "Boss, what would you like to order?"
"Judging from your eyes, you probably want to buy an invitation to join the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce!"
"I happen to have three invitations here, each costing 8,888 yuan. If the three of you want to take them all, you only need to give me 24,000 yuan."
The middle-aged man with a goatee smiled and gestured a price to Tang Lan.
The latest novel is first published here!
Unexpectedly, Tang Lan countered, "How can you prove that these three invitations are genuine?"
The goatee-wearing man panicked and quickly explained, "Brother, you can doubt my character, but you can't doubt my professional ethics."
"See that guy giving us that wink?"
"He's the manager of Wanbao Chamber of Commerce. These few bills in my hand were given to us by him."
"In business, harmony brings wealth, and everyone makes money together. If it's too much, I won't sleep. Fixed price: 220,000, no bargaining!"
The man smiled and gave the lowest price. After saying that, he sat down on the bamboo chair behind the stall and leisurely drank his tea.
"Okay, deal!"
"If you dare to lie to me, I'll come back for you!"
Tang Lan smiled and placed the bag containing twenty-three gold soul stones on the stall.
"The boss is generous; he even has a Golden Soul Stone! Not bad, not bad!"
"I find the three of you quite agreeable. How about this, each of you can pick one item from my stall as a gift from me."
"These things aren't very valuable, but they're still somewhat useful."
The goatee-bearded man pointed to the items on the stall and introduced them with a smile.
Upon hearing this, the three looked down and examined the items on the stall. The items were basically the same as what the man had described.
Most of them are fourth- or fifth-order soul tools, along with some jade materials and soul beast materials ranging from thousands to tens of thousands of years old.
It's not particularly valuable, but you can still profit from it.
It was obvious that this guy had gotten enough benefits from Tang Lan, and on a whim, he decided to give Tang Lan and the other two some small gifts.
"Oh, thank you!"
"This bracelet looks nice, I'll choose this one!"
Lin Ni carefully examined the items on the stall, then picked up a bracelet made of red crystals, and thanked the man as she spoke.
"Guiyan Jade, young lady, you have such good taste! You took the most valuable item from this stall at a glance."
"As its name suggests, the Rose Flame Jade is rose-colored and contains a rich fire elemental energy. It can nourish the body and has a strong suppressive effect on flames. It might be helpful to you in the future."
The goatee-wearing man smiled as he introduced the man to Lin Ni. (End of Chapter)
