Capítulo 67: Auction
The sun was shining brightly. A man and a woman were standing in front of a mineral shop. From their conversation, it seemed that they were bargaining with the owner.
"Owner, how much do you sell this ore for?"
"So expensive!? Since I'm buying such large quantity, can you give me a discount?"
"That its? That's so little."
The young man sighed, pulled the girl out of the store, and continued to search aimlessly on the street. The two were Huo Yuhao and Hu Liena. There was still one day left before the date given by the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan. After a poor rest last night, Huo Yuhao, who was not very energetic, chose to go to the market to buy some material for spirit tools.
Now that he is a Soul Ancestor, he has upgraded all of his spirit tools to Class 4. Together with Hu Liena, he is shopping to find materials for Class 5 spirit tools.
However, he did not expect that the materials for class five spirit tools were in demand by the empire's army. Although the quantity was sufficient, the price remained high. He had just bargained with that owner for a long time, but he just wouldn't give in.
Huo Yuhao could not afford to spend tens of thousands of Gold Coins. He had no choice but to give up temporarily and see if there was any way to make money.
Hu Liena looked at the somewhat lost boy with a smile.
"Yuhao~ If you need money, I can give it to you."
Huo Yuhao's face turned slightly red, as he remembered clearly what happened last night. He turned his head away, not daring to look at the girl's face, and coughed lightly twice.
"I wanted to make this as a gift for you. How can I spend your money?"
Seeing Huo Yuhao's shy look, Hu Liena took advantage of the situation and tilted her head to whisper softly in Huo Yuhao's ear.
"What's the big deal? What's mine is yours. How about you rely on me from now on?"
The slightly hoarse voice coupled with the soft breath made Huo Yuhao shiver and shook his head violently.
"Absolutely not."
"Hmph." Hu Liena glanced at the boy who refused to obey, the smile on her lips became even more intense. She hugged Huo Yuhao's arms with both hands and leaned her head lightly on his shoulder.
"Fine."
The two of them walked and stopped on almost all the shops on the commercial street, but he didn't find anybody who was willing to sell it to him at a low price. This was normal, they didn't have any trouble selling it anyway. Officials would come to the market from time to time to buy it up at a higher price.
For people like Huo Yuhao who can't buy much, the price is always quoted higher. On the way, Huo Yuhao looked up by chance and saw a building with a small hammer sign not far away.
"An Auction House?"
Huo Yuhao looked at the milky white building, which covered a large area. To be able to open such a large auction venue in Heaven Dou City, where every inch of land is valuable, it might be own by the Imperial family like in his previous life.
His eyes lit up, and he whispered to Hu Liena beside him, "Let's go over there and take a look."
In front of the half-moon archway, just like in the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan, there were four tall girls standing with professional smiles on their faces. When the two approached, one of them walked up and asked with a smile.
"What can I do for you two?"
"Hello, can you help me with auctioning an item?"
As Huo Yuhao was speaking, he reached for his belt, and a Soul Cannon and a Soul Bomb appeared in his hand. The cold object exuded a metallic color, and the exquisite craftsmanship made the girl know at a glance that it was not an ordinary item. She nodded quickly and made a gesture of invitation.
"Yes, please follow me in and find our professional appraiser to price your auction items."
The two followed the girl into a hall and soon arrived at a room with the word "Appraisal" hung on it. The girl turned around and smiled at Huo Yuhao.
"After entering, please hand over the items for appraisal."
"Okay, thank you." After thanking her, Huo Yuhao pulled Hu Liena into the room.
The room was very large, with a row of desks. Behind each desk sat an appraiser in a black robe. Huo Yuhao randomly found an empty seat and walked over to sit down, handing over the spirit tools in his hand.
"Please ask this appraiser to take a look and see if this item can be auctioned."
The appraiser took it calmly, looked at it casually for a few seconds, and couldn't take his eyes away. He reached out and stroked the metal shell carefully, exclaiming in amazement.
"How can there be such a sophisticated spirit tool? Young man, can you tell me what these are used for?"
"I call this one a Soul Cannon. It has two functions. One is to directly inject soul power into it, which can fired a palm sized ball of energy. The other is to load it with the special shells in my other hand, inject soul power into the Soul Cannon to fire it out. It can cause additional effects such as a larger blast radius"
"H-How powerful is it?"
The appraiser's eyes widened, he took a breath and asked. He had seen many spirit tools, but he rarely see offensive tools such as this one. Even if there were any, they were so dilapidated due to their age that they could not be used.
"The one in your hand is a class 4 Soul Cannon. You need to be at least a Soul Ancestor to use it efficiently. With this Soul Cannon, you should be able to injure a Soul King. With the addition of the Soul Bomb as ammunition, you could also injure a Soul Emperor. The degree of injuries will vary due to the variation in the type of Soul Bomb and Soul Master themselves."
As Huo Yuhao was explaining, he took out various Soul Bomb from his belt and introduced their uses such as flame shells, armor-piercing shells, paralyzing shells, etc. Every time he took out an item, the horror on the appraiser's face increased.
He suddenly stood up and spoke in a trembling voice.
"Please wait a moment dear guest. I cannot set a price for your items with my authority. I will go and ask my superiors immediately!"
After saying that, he ran out in a hurry, leaving Huo Yuhao and Hu Liena looking at each other in bewilderment. Hu Liena stretched out her slender fingers and poked Huo Yuhao's face, smiling softly with her charming eyes.
"I didn't expect you to have this type of skill. You keep exceeding my expectation at every moment. So this is also the gift you mentioned?"
"Yes, but this class 4 one is not suitable for you. I plan to sell some of them and buy materials to make a higher level one."
Hu Liena smiled even more and whispered in Huo Yuhao's ear, "Then, how do you want me to repay you?"
Huo Yuhao shuddered all over and quickly moved to the side. His mind, full of the scenes from last night, couldn't speak clearly and his head was shaking like a rattle.
Just then, the appraiser walked in hurriedly, followed by a middle-aged man with a bald head. The middle-aged man and the appraiser bowed somewhat stiffly.
"I'm the supervisor here. I'm sorry, I didn't expect your belongings to be so valuable. Dear guest, I apologize for our poor hospitality."
"No, no, no, it's okay. We are just here to sell things." Huo Yuhao waved his hand.
