At that moment, Zhao Anqi felt a sense of satisfaction that she had never felt before. A bright smile blossomed on her face, and all the unhappiness and anger she felt disappeared.
“Miss, we’ve arrived at the auction house.”
At that moment, the driver’s voice came from the walkie-talkie.
Cough cough.
After clearing her throat, Zhao Anqi tidied up her clothes and looked at Zhou Mingrui. Both of them nodded and got out of the car.
Looking at the antique-looking wooden door in front of him, it looked like an ancient academy. The plaque hanging on the door even had the words “Treasure Gathering Pavilion” written in gold on a black background. The whole place had a strong smell of books.
The two black doors with gold nails were wide open to welcome guests. Several guards in green were registering and checking the invitation letters of the guests.
“Those who don’t know better would think that we’ve returned to ancient times. The decoration style is quite unique.” Zhou Mingrui exclaimed in admiration.
“This is the interest of the boss behind this auction house. Every auction house under him has its own unique characteristics. This one represents ‘scholarly’, and he also has’ glorious’, ‘rich’, and so on.” Zhao Anqi explained as she walked.
After the guards checked the invitation, the two of them were allowed to enter the auction house.
Walking along the wooden path, with the flowers and plants planted along the way, as well as the rockery, flowing water, and man-made lakes not far away, one could see the pavilions standing in the distance.
This artistic concept immediately made those who entered feel relaxed and happy. All the disturbances brought in by the outside world disappeared.
As the passage moved forward, the group soon came to the entrance of a building that looked like a palace.
After entering, there were ancient and simple chairs neatly placed, and a three-meter-long mahogany table was placed in the center of the spacious hall.
After they sat down, melodious music soon sounded. It was obvious that the music was played by real people.
In the soothing music, a middle-aged man in a black robe and a crown walked in. After bowing, he began his introduction.
“Thank you for your support…”
After the speech, the auction quickly entered the main topic.
At this moment, Zhou Mingrui also began to take photos and send them to Yan Wuyue to confirm the situation. After all, he was not sure if these things would be useful.
“They all look useful, but they’re actually useless.” Yan Wuyue said with a frown.
“That’s normal. After all, it’s not the time of the great calamity. It’s not like you don’t understand the logic behind prosperous antiques.” Zhou Mingrui said.
“Zhao Anqi said that the last few items in the auction will be the finale, and she told us not to worry.” Zhou Mingrui said.
“I know that. I just feel uncomfortable seeing these people playing with their collectibles.” Yan Wuyue complained unhappily.
Soon, more than ten items were sold, all of which were high-value collectibles or works of art.
“Alright, ladies and gentlemen, I believe that many of you are not here to see these works of art. So, let’s move on to the real event.”
After the host finished speaking, a woman in an ancient gown pushed a wooden cart in.
After reaching the long table, she placed the items in the cart on the table.
“The first official auction item was obtained by an adventure team from a special secret realm outside the eastern city.”
As he spoke, the host removed the red cloth covering the auction item, revealing the appearance of the auction item.

It was a stone that looked like it had been drenched in asphalt, and the pockmarked stone was covered in an extremely unsightly and solidified black liquid.
“According to the experts, this is a level 7 monster’s internal organ. Even though it’s been here for a long time, it still has some special power.”
As soon as he said this, everyone in the seats below was stunned. This was clearly a piece of broken stone.
“Everyone may think that this is just a broken stone, but I’m sure everyone knows the name of our Treasure Gathering Pavilion. It’s impossible for us to sell such useless things, and we’ve never deceived our customers.”
“As long as you win the bid, if the results are different from what was auctioned, we will compensate you ten times the cost and apologize to the entire society.”
As soon as these words came out, everyone quieted down. After all, everyone knew that the boss behind Treasure Gathering Pavilion was powerful and would not do something that would ruin his own reputation.
“As for its use, the appraiser said that as long as you have the power to break through the outer layer, you will be able to obtain the huge amount of energy contained within the level 7 monster, and it’s the refined type of energy.”
Zhou Mingrui narrowed his eyes slightly, and Yan Wuyue’s voice came through the phone. “This is a good thing, but I can’t break through that layer of defense now. I’ll need to be at least level 50 to have the ability.”
After all, this was the core of a level 7 monster. If the energy contained within could be absorbed, it would be an extremely powerful upgrade.
“The starting price for the level 7 monster core is 1.3 million. Please make your bids.”
As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, the people present fell silent. No one made a bid.
“Although this item is useful to us, it’s of little value. When we have the ability to break through its defense, it will no longer be important.”
Zhao Anqi also sighed.
“Isn’t your father able to get someone to take action?” Zhou Mingrui asked.
With Zhao Desheng’s strength, he was completely capable of doing this.
Zhao Anqi shook her head. “The energy attribute inside is not suitable for me or my summoned spirit. It’s useless even if I bid for it. Furthermore, the price of hiring a level 7 powerhouse is too high. The energy is not worth the price. There are other treasures of the same value that are much better.”
With that, Zhao Anqi looked at Zhou Mingrui and said, “If you want it, then bid for it. I’ll ask my dad to arrange for someone to break the defense.”
Zhou Mingrui frowned and pondered for a moment before he raised his hand.
“Second bid. Alright, this gentleman bids the third time!”
“Number 8 bids once.”
“Number 8, calling for the second time. Is there anyone else?”
After waiting for two more seconds, the auctioneer found that no one was bidding, so he could only drop the hammer and say, “Number 8 bids for the third time. Sold!”
“Congratulations to the man in the 8th seat for successfully winning the level 7 monster core!”
Soon, the second item was on the shelf. However, after Yan Wuyue confirmed that it was useless to them, she began to talk to Zhou Mingrui about what had just happened.
“I have a way to absorb the energy from the inside without breaking the outside.” Zhou Mingrui’s words were concise.
“I knew it. You must have your reasons for making a move.” Yan Wuyue said with a smile.
