“A jade invitation card?”

Suddenly the facial expressions of everyone at the entrance, including the guard who had stopped Xu Que, changed. They couldn’t believe what they were seeing.

A young man who had never been heard of was attending the auction with a jade invitation card!

Who was he?

All at once, people at the entrance were surprised and started to whisper to one another.

“The background of this young man is really unfathomable!”

“For each auction held by Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce, only ten jade invitation cards are sent out to the five nations; speaking on average, only two people in each nation can obtain a jade invitation card! Could it be that this young man has come from another nation?”

“It is a pity that there is no signature on the jade invitation card; otherwise we could know his identity!”

“Just now I heard that he said he is Wang Sicong of the Exploding Heavens Faction!”

“Holy shit! The Exploding Heavens Faction! Isn’t he coming from the faction of General Zhuge?”

“Amazing! Even General Zhuge who is so powerful didn’t get a jade invitation card, but this guy from the same faction was able to get one!”

“It seems that this guy is also a very powerful person!”

With many people exclaiming about his appearance, Xu Que stepped into the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce.

Compared to the imperial palace of the Water Nation, this five-story building was less spacious but of identical magnificence.

After he entered the building, Xu Que was surrounded by luxurious decorations. Glass cups which could be used as magical artifacts were placed in the building as lamps. Precious potions were being burnt in the incense burners like sandalwood incense, giving out an intoxicating aroma.

As a holder of the jade invitation card, Xu Que was classified as one of the top-level customers of the Chamber of Commerce. Once he stepped into the building, a designated waiter showed him the way to a small private room on the second floor immediately.

It was not a large room. Inside the room were a table and several chairs, were made of purple gold rosewood and giving off a light fragrance.

There was no wall on the far end of the room, which was only covered by a blind. One could take in everything happening in the hall of the first floor at a glance from this room.

At the center of the hall was a platform. Rows of chairs had been placed around the platform. Now, a lot of people had taken their seats. These people were ordinary participants in the auction, who had paid the admission fee with several hundred Spirit Stones.

“Lord Wang, from here you can see everything that happens in the auction. In case you want to bid for some treasures, please just knock at the brass bell and state your price,” said the waiter who guided Xu Que, voice reverent at that moment.

“Uhm!”

Xu Que pretended to be proud and aloof by nodding his head and remaining reticent.

“Lord Wang, please make yourself at home; and if you need anything anytime, please call me.” The waiter, who knew how to behave in a delicate situation, left the room after saying these words.

Xu Que walked to the blind and looked around.

His room was not the only room on the second floor. There were another nine rooms around the hall, so that everyone in these ten rooms could see everything that happened in the hall clearly.

“Huh?”

Hardly had Xu Que walked to the blind when he found a figure in the room opposite his. It seemed as if that person was also looking at Xu Que.

The blinds prevented Xu Que from seeing the face of that person clearly. However, Xu Que could see that the person was a lady according to her figure. The cultivation level of this lady was quite impressive, for she had reached level 5 of the Infant Transformation Stage.

“It seems the five nations have a lot of experts!” Xu Que smiled a bit and stopped focusing his attention on the other participants of the auction. He had made up his mind to buy everything related to the Water Empress.

With the passage of time, the hall became more and more crowded. Almost all seats had been taken.

Xu Que raised his eyebrows abruptly and chuckled a bit. Then he concentrated his True Core Strength and nipped the fingers of both hands. Lightnings tangled up and crackled in his palms.

“Whoosh!” the next moment, a light figure scurried out from Xu Que’s body and dashed to a corner of the hall directly.

After that, a figure, who looked exactly like Xu Que, walked out from the corner. However, the cultivation of this figure was only Level 7 of the Original Infant Stage.

“It seems this Shadowmeld of Three Thousand Thunders is quite reliable. Even I can’t tell the difference,” Xu Que said to himself.

Xu Que summoned his illusionary body and made it occupy a position downstairs, so that the illusionary body could cooperate with him in buying everything related to the Water Empress.

Xu Que was wearing the human-skinned mask; however, the disguise effect was unavailable for his illusionary body. Therefore, the illusionary body, which was exactly like Xu Que, would definitely be recognized by others.

“System, can the appearance of the illusionary body be changed?” Xu Que summoned the system and asked.

Ding! “The host can change the appearance of the illusionary body freely with the soul strength.”

“Huh? I don’t need to spend Acting Tough Points on it, right?”

Xu Que was amazed. Did this unscrupulous system change its character? This time it didn’t even ask for any Acting Tough Points!

Ding! “You don’t need to spend Acting Tough Points on that!” the system replied.

….

Hearing the system’s reply, Xu Que was still not accustomed to its newfound benevolence.

But he didn’t waste time and immediately allocated more soul strength to the illusionary body. Meanwhile, he conceived the appearance of an ordinary man in his mind. The next moment, the appearance of his illusionary body changed accordingly.

“Ha! Not bad! I like this function!” Xu Que was pleasantly surprised.

I can change the appearance of my illusionary body at will. It will be very convenient when the illusionary body is asked to do something evil in future.

“Dong!”

At this moment, a clear bell rang.

After hearing the bell ring, the noisy crowds in the hall quieted down instantly.

After that, a voluptuous and gorgeous lady walked into the hall. She was wearing a red court dress; however, her skirt barely covered her upper thighs.

Her dress would have been quite normal on Earth. However, in this Cultivation World, it seemed absolutely edgy and bold.

After the emergence of the lady in the hall, she became eye-candy immediately. Numerous people fixed their eyes on her long legs that were uncovered under her short skirt.

“Dear fellow cultivators, welcome to the auction of our chamber of commerce. I am the auctioneer of this auction,” the lady who was wearing the court dress said with a smile. Her voice was clear and a little bit cutesy, which made the audience’s ears feel limp and numb.

A lot of young cultivators in the hall couldn’t help swallowing while staring at the lady with fiery eyes.

Sitting on the second floor, Xu Que smiled a bit.

The lady who was wearing the court dress was not as simple as her appearance. Her actions and words were saturated with a certain charm art, which could easily fascinate people with low cultivation. It could even make them state prices impulsively during the auction!

“Hehe, you really have the nerve to show off this easy trick here!” Xu Que showed his contempt.

His voice was not loud. To his surprise, it seemed that the lady who was wearing the court dress heard what he said. The next moment, she raised her head and looked toward Xu Que with a meditative smile on her mouth.

Xu Que’s eyes twitched a bit and he fell into stunned silence. Isn’t the hearing of this woman too acute?

Without saying anything, the lady cast a hurried glance towards Xu Que and then slowly stepped onto the platform in the center of the hall, in full view of the fiery eyes of the audience.

Several waiters also queued up and walked towards the platform. Each of them was carrying large jade plates in their hands, which were covered by red cloth. The audience couldn’t see the items under the red cloth.

When the first waiter stepped onto the platform and stopped beside the lady who was wearing the court dress, the lady uncovered the red cloth with her delicate hands.

“Today’s first auction item is a magical artifact forged by Her Royal Highness the Water Empress. The name of this artifact is the Azure Sea Cloud Amulet, which is a two-star magical artifact. It can refresh the mind of its wearer! The reserve price of this artifact is 50,000 low grade Spirit Stones. For each bid, at least 10,000 low grade Spirit Stones shall be added. OK, everybody, please start the bidding!”

After finishing her words, the lady who was wearing the court dress glanced over at all cultivators in the hall with smile.

Many young cultivators had planned to buy items of the Water Empress, so they started to show their eagerness and were about to raise their hands to bid joyfully.

Dong!

At this moment, a clear tinkle of a brass bell was heard from the second floor.

After that came a sonorous voice!

“I, Wang Sicong, make a bid of one million!”
