Ye Tianfan stayed in the inn for a while, spending his days strolling around and resting at night, waiting for the auction to arrive.
Three days later, the auction was finally held as scheduled, and Ye Tianfan had already dressed up early to head to the auction venue in the city center.
Ye Tianfan walked on the street, finding that there were many more people than when he first arrived. It seemed that they were all here to attend the auction, making the city much livelier. The number of vendors had also doubled, and it was clear that some small traders saw an opportunity in this and wanted to take advantage of it.
These small vendors generally don't have anything good, but they are very skilled at deceiving people. They can always make outsiders confused and end up buying things without even understanding their purpose.
After buying something and asking about its use later, the result is always that it's not very useful, just a small toy.
Ye Tianfan arrived at the city center and found that everyone was lining up in twos and threes, and only after handing over their spirit stones could they head inside. Ye Tianfan also joined the queue with the crowd.
It was clear that the efficiency of collecting spirit stones was very fast, and there were originally forty or fifty people in front of Ye Tianfan, but it didn't take long for it to be Ye Tianfan's turn.
"Senior, to enter the auction, please pay 500 spirit stones." This foundation-building cultivator couldn't see through Ye Tianfan's cultivation, so he assumed Ye Tianfan was at least a Golden Core cultivator and spoke respectfully.
Ye Tianfan was somewhat reluctant, but since he had to pay so many spirit stones just to enter the auction, and since others were the hosts, Ye Tianfan could only endure it. He took out 500 spirit stones and handed them over to the guard.
Ye Tianfan was about to enter when the guard said: "Senior, your token, only those who have this can participate in the auction."
Hearing this reminder, Ye Tianfan hastily took the signboard into his hands, he didn't want to just watch the excitement and miss the opportunity to take things.
After Ye Tianfan took the number plate, he walked into the auction venue. When he arrived inside, he found that all the seats were almost full, leaving only a few dozen scattered seats. To know that this is a venue that can accommodate three thousand people!
Ye Tianfan casually found a seat and sat down. He glanced at the people sitting on his left and right, and discovered that on his left was an old man with Golden Dan stage cultivation.
Ye Tianfan looked to the right and found that the person on the right was wearing a conical hat, and there were obvious restrictions on it, making Ye Tianfan unable to see his face. To know that Ye Tianfan is now a cultivator comparable to the Separation Period, and his divine sense is not much inferior to that of a cultivator in the Union Period, yet he couldn't see through it. It must be a mid-grade spiritual instrument or above, a special type of spiritual instrument.
Moreover, this person's cultivation is also hidden. On the surface, it appears to be only at the Golden Core stage, but in reality, it is actually a Nascent Soul cultivator. However, Ye Tianfan can't tell whether he is in the middle or late stages, and apparently, he also has a treasure that hides his cultivation.
Seeing this person possessing these treasures, Ye Tianfan didn't feel envious at all. After all, his own cultivation method had a hiding function that was better than anything else. Ye Tianfan believed that if he possessed cultivation comparable to the Tribulation Period, he would definitely be able to see through the restrictions of this hidden cultivation method, but even if he were a true immortal, it wasn't certain that he could see through it.
Ye Tianfan's eyes flickered to the person's fingers, which were slender and white as jade, with very long fingernails that had been painted purple.
Ye Tianfan secretly thought: Could it be that this person is a woman, and the reason she's hiding her cultivation is because of this, or perhaps she's a young lady from some family who ran away to have fun, afraid that her family would recognize her, so she did this.
The man wearing a bamboo hat also seemed to have noticed Ye Tianfan staring at him, so he glared fiercely at Ye Tianfan, clearly unhappy with Ye Tianfan's intense gaze.
Although Ye Tianfan couldn't see her expression under the bamboo hat, he thought she must be very angry, and he was also very embarrassed, with a feeling of being caught in the act.
Fortunately, a voice helped him out of the predicament. A man who looked about fifty years old with an expressionless face said: "Hello everyone, I am Blue Feather, also the host of this auction. If I do anything wrong later on, please forgive me."
Ye Tianfan was extremely grateful for this voice, and the man wearing a bamboo hat was also attracted by the upcoming auction, no longer bothering Ye Tianfan, making him feel relieved.
Ye Tianfan was rejoicing, while the crowd below had exploded into a commotion, with everyone discussing it in hushed tones.
"Ah, that's the renowned appraiser of our entire Tianqi Star! It's said that anything he says is good can be sold for a high price, even a sky-high price!" someone exclaimed excitedly, clearly holding him in high esteem.
"Yes, and Blue Feather is not only a master appraiser, but also a high-ranking cultivator in the prenatal stage. This is also why everyone respects him so much. I didn't expect that this auction would actually invite him to come, the organizer really spent a lot of money this time. You know, without Master's approval, no matter how many spirit stones are offered, he wouldn't even show up."
Yè Tiān Fán listened to their conversation with great interest, after all, this was his first time attending an auction, and he didn't know much about auctions, having only learned about them from books.
But like auctions, there are often some changes or the rules of auction vary from place to place which can't be clearly stated in a book.
"Haha, these are all exaggerated praises from the Xiu Zhen world. Don't take it to heart, don't take it to heart." Although he said this, looking at the smile on his face reveals that he is still quite pleased with others' compliments about him.
Some people who love to flatter saw that Master Lan Yu was very pleased with everyone's praise, and hurriedly said: "Well-deserved, well-deserved! Master Lan Yu has gained our unanimous recognition in terms of reputation, prestige, and strength!"
Lan Yu's smile on his face became even more radiant, obviously enjoying everyone's flattery, but Ye Tianfan couldn't take it anymore. Those few bootlickers were getting more and more exaggerated in their praise, almost making Lan Yu out to be their own reborn parents.
Fortunately, Blue Feather hadn't forgotten the purpose of this trip, so he quickly said: "No more idle chatter, after all, everyone came here to attend the auction, not to see me. And I can reveal in advance that there are many good things at this auction, so be sure to seize the opportunity!"
"Master Lan says it's good stuff, so it must be great. Master Lan, let's get started and see what good things we have here." Suddenly everyone's attention was diverted, and the atmosphere on the scene became even more intense.
The organizers also breathed a sigh of relief, after all they knew that inviting this master would greatly increase the popularity of their auction, but it was too hot to be bad.
