  The author is rolling on the ground asking for recommendation votes. If you haven't collected it yet, collect it quickly! It will be convenient to find books later!

  "Hiss"

  Everyone around took a deep breath, and the woman in palace attire also looked disbelieving, carefully examining the token with a suddenly solemn expression, her tone filled with respect.

  "Sir, I'm sorry, but this treasure of yours is truly too valuable. Please go to the VIP room, where our association's senior appraiser will come to appraise your treasure!"

  Yang Yi felt slightly surprised, but after careful consideration, he didn't feel any surprise. The woman in the palace attire was just a receptionist, and she must have seen countless people and things, so her expression changes were probably just basic skills for her.

  "Alright, take me in!"

  The woman in palace attire didn't dare to be even slightly slow and led Yang Yi into the inner room specially prepared for honored guests.

  Yang Yi's eyes flashed with a hint of sharpness as he walked in, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up into a smile, seemingly muttering to himself: "These people must have also seen it, looking at their expressions, they naturally recognize this dragon token. This news will soon reach the ears of the Golden Sun Palace!"

  Yang had his own plan in mind and followed the palace-dressed woman into a luxurious room, which was the so-called VIP room.

  The woman in the palace dress let Yang Yi wait for a while, and soon brought down a middle-aged man with a steady temperament. This middle-aged man exuded a steady atmosphere all over his body, and the huge pressure emanating from him was obviously a master who had reached the fourth level of Blood Condensation, and was even at the peak of the fourth level of Blood Condensation.

  The woman in the palace attire respectfully introduced: "Sir, this is our Chamber of Commerce's senior appraiser, Old Liu!"

  Yang Yi slightly nodded and immediately shifted his gaze to this Liu old man, stretched out his hand from his bosom and took out the Huálóng Lìng, calmly saying: "Liu old man, please verify it."

  Old Liu saw the Huáng Lóng Lìng on the table, and a strange glint flashed in his eyes. He immediately picked up the token and examined it carefully.

  After a while, Liu's eyes revealed a hint of solemnity, and he smiled slightly at Yang: "This old man has already taken a look, this token is indeed the Huálóng Lìng without a doubt. I wonder what price you want to sell it for?"

  Yang Yi's mouth corner and eyebrow slightly raised, looking at the Liu old man in front of him. Judging by his appearance, he seemed to be less than 60 years old, but Yang Yi also knew that after cultivating to the fourth level of Blood Condensation, living for three to five hundred years was not a problem. Ordinary mortals would age because their blood vessels would decline, and they would naturally grow old slowly. However, cultivators who had cultivated their blood vessels wouldn't have this problem, so each of them could live for hundreds of years. This Liu old man didn't look very old, but his actual age was probably also in the hundreds, truly not to be judged by appearance.

  Yang Yi smiled slightly and said, "Since Old Liu has asked about the price, he must be someone who can make decisions. This Huálóng Lǐng (Transforming Dragon Order), everyone knows its value - to say it's priceless isn't an exaggeration, of course, saying it's worthless is also almost true. What's most important is that those who need it might not hesitate to pay any price for it. Old Liu should understand my meaning, right?"

  Liu's eyes flashed with a hint of sharpness, and he dryly laughed without a smile, then calmly said: "What the Taoist friend says is extremely right, our Wàn Xiàng Chamber of Commerce has strong financial resources, and we also need this Huà Lóng Lìng, so please name your price?"

  Yang stretched out his hand and gently tapped on the table, saying lightly: "I'm not selling this piece of Huálóng. I heard that the noble merchant guild has an auction house, I'd like to send this piece of Huálóng to the auction house of the noble merchant guild, but I don't know if they'll accept it?"

  Liu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and his face seemed to show some disappointment, but he still said: "Fellow Taoist, this Huálóng Lǐng is indeed extremely precious. Moreover, as the Huálóng Dàsài approaches, this Huálóng Lǐng will become even more precious. Our Chamber of Commerce is willing to buy Fellow Taoist's Huálóng Lǐng at a high price, and it will absolutely not be less than what Fellow Taoist would get from auctioning it off. How about it? What does Fellow Taoist think?"

  Yang Yi shook his head slightly and said: "No, Huálóng Lìng must be auctioned off. I have my own reasons!"

  Liu Lao felt a slight sense of regret, although he couldn't buy it, but if it were to be auctioned off at the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce, they would also take a considerable commission, which was also a big business.

  "Alright, since fellow daoist is so determined, I'll take charge. This Huálóng Lìng will be put up for auction in a day's time, and it will be the finale treasure. Fellow daoist can participate in our auction, and our Chamber of Commerce will also give fellow daoist VIP status, and we can even allocate one million Blood Crystals to fellow daoist as auction capital in advance. How about that?"

  Liu Lao's conditions were indeed very generous, making Yang Yi's heart move involuntarily.

  Liu Lao is indeed good at doing business, let alone the VIP status in front of him, which is also ordinary. However, giving Yang Yi a million blood crystals as capital for the auction beforehand not only shows Liu Lao's cunning but also his confidence.

  That piece of Huálóng Lìng, even if it's auctioned off for a lower price, will definitely not be less than 10 million Blood Crystals. Moreover, the Wàn Xiàng Shāng Huì will surely take advantage of this opportunity to heavily promote it, after which the value of Huálóng Lìng will only rise and not fall. And in doing so, Liu has also gained Yang's favor, truly a case of killing two birds with one stone, extremely efficient.

  Yang's heart moved slightly, and he said lightly: "With the ability of your noble merchant association, I'm sure my identity will be exposed in no more than a quarter of an hour. It doesn't matter if I tell you about the origin of this Dragon Transformation Token. This token was snatched by the Three Freaks of Jiangnan from the young master of Jinyang Prefecture and then obtained by Yang Mou after killing the Three Freaks. However, it happened that the young master of Jinyang saw it. So, you are also clear that there are large and small portraits posted outside, and countless people are searching for me. I simply cannot escape from Jinyang City, which is why I have adopted this strategy. I will stay in this Wanxiang Merchant Association until the auction ends, and your noble association has no objections, right?"

  Liu's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and he smiled slightly as he cupped his hands: "When I first met you, Daoist friend, I knew you were no ordinary person. Now that I see it, you are indeed an extraordinary person. Because of you alone, the entire city of Jinyang is in an uproar, yet unexpectedly, you appear safe and sound within our humble merchant association. However, please be at ease, you are now a distinguished guest of our merchant association, and according to the rules, you can stay here until your auction ends. As for the matter with the Jinyang Prefecture, don't worry about it, Daoist friend - even if they had a hundred times more courage, they wouldn't dare enter my Wànxiàng Merchant Association to take someone away. So during this time, please feel at ease!"

  Yang nodded slightly and said: "Then I'll have to trouble Old Liu!"

  Liu Lao said to the palace-dressed woman beside him: "Send Daoyou to rest in the back courtyard's room!"

  Yang Yi immediately followed the woman towards the backyard.

  Liu Lao slightly shook his head, carefully examining the Dragon Seal on the table, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth: "Interesting, interesting, it's been a long time since I've encountered something so interesting. Auctioning off the Dragon Seal, this kid is quite clever, to think of such a way to shift attention. However, once the Dragon Seal enters the auction house, there will be no more trouble for the Golden Sun Palace. Unfortunately, unfortunately, even if he's furious, this kid will still be hard-pressed to escape death."

  The old man slightly shook his head and instantly disappeared without a trace, taking the Huánglóng Lìng with him.

  After a few hours, the entire Golden City spread out with such news that tomorrow, the Huálóng Lìng would be auctioned off at the Wàn Xiàng Auction House, and it was said to be true. Some busybodies even went to the Wàn Xiàng Chamber of Commerce and found that this news was indeed true. In an instant, not only Golden City was in a frenzy, but also people from other cities were in a frenzy. Many masters rushed towards this small city overnight, just for the Huálóng Lìng being auctioned off by the Wàn Xiàng Auction House.
