The Legend of the Demon Hunter

Xiao Zhu stepped forward and asked, "Two seniors, I overheard your conversation and would like to ask where the Miri Auction House is?"

"Young man, are you from another place?" said a middle-aged man.

"Yes, that's right. I'm a demon hunter from another place, and I'm not familiar with this place. I hope you can give me some advice."

Hearing that Xiao Zhu was a demon hunter, the two middle-aged men stood in awe. It seemed that demon hunters also enjoyed an extremely honorable status in Haining City.

One of them said, "So you are a demon hunter. How disrespectful! The Miri Auction House is located along the coast of Haining City. There is a large dome-shaped building there."

Afterwards, Xiao Zhu said goodbye and left the restaurant, heading straight towards the auction house.

Haining City is vast and bustling, so Xiao Zhu originally thought that the Mili Auction House would be hard to find. However, he saw a dome-shaped building in the distance as soon as he arrived at the coastal area east of the city. On the top of the building was a line of words "Mili Auction House".

Xiao Zhu walked straight towards the auction house. When he reached the door, a young receptionist stopped him politely. She said politely, "Sir, the auction at Miri Auction House will not officially start until tomorrow. Do you need to make an appointment to participate?"

"That's right." Xiao Zhu nodded.

"This auction is hosted by the Demon Hunter Association. Only those at the senior demon hunter level and above are allowed to enter. We need to verify your identity before we can help you make an appointment." The woman had a professional smile on her face.

Xiao Zhu thought of the auction he had participated in when he was in Novan City and hosted by the White Tiger Branch of the Demon Hunter Association. At that time, only members of the association and demon hunters above the silver level were allowed to enter.

Although the scope of the auction in Haining City has been relaxed to allow entry to anyone, whether or not they are members of the Demon Hunter Association, the standards have also been raised to the point where only high-level Demon Hunters and above can enter.

In the world of demon hunters, high-level demon hunters are one in a hundred, which can be considered a very harsh condition.

I believe the treasures in the auction here will be even more valuable!

Xiao Zhu took out the platinum medal that Wan Yixing had given him from the shimmering amber bracelet, showed it to the woman, and said, "I wonder if this medal can be used as proof of identity?"

The badges of the Demon Hunter Association are universal in all branches, and they look almost identical, with only patterns on the back to distinguish different branches. For example, Xiao Zhu's badge is from the White Tiger branch, so there is a white tiger pattern engraved on the back, while the Black Tortoise branch has a giant turtle pattern entangled by a snake.

The woman took the platinum medal handed over by Xiao Zhu with both hands. There was an expression of surprise in her eyes. She didn't expect that such a young Xiao Zhu was actually the platinum demon hunter of the association.

"Of course, please wait, I will make an appointment for you." The woman's tone became respectful.

After the appointment was completed, the woman returned the platinum medal to Xiao Zhu and said, "Dear Platinum Demon Hunter, the auction will start tomorrow morning. You are welcome to attend on time."

After doing all this, Xiao Zhu thought of something else and looked at the woman and asked, "I have a few items here that I would like to apply to auction at the auction tomorrow. Is that possible?"

Hearing this, the woman looked a little embarrassed and said, "Tomorrow's auction will have a total of 30 items, and they have all been prepared. It stands to reason that we cannot add more items at the last minute, but given your status, I can ask for your permission."

"Thank you." Xiao Zhu said politely.

The woman hurriedly walked into the auction hall. Not long after, she came out and said to Xiao Zhu: "Sir, please follow me."

Xiao Zhu, led by the woman, walked into a negotiation room in the auction hall. A middle-aged man was already sitting there. When the middle-aged man saw Xiao Zhu, he immediately stood up and greeted him, saying politely: "Brother Xiao, you are young and promising. I admire you! Xiao Wen just told me that you have some items that you want to auction?"

The woman called Xiaowen tactfully left the room.

Based on the aura emitted by this middle-aged man, Xiao Zhu judged that this middle-aged man who claimed to be surnamed Fan was a high-level demon hunter.

Xiao Zhu sat down at a wooden table and asked the middle-aged man, "Senior Fan, you are too kind. I just found a few spiritual herbs by chance, so I wanted to come here to exchange them for some silver coins."

The middle-aged man waved his hand and said politely, "I don't deserve to be called a senior. My name is Fan Guangjin, and I'm the steward of the Mili Auction House. You can just call me Old Fan."

"Excuse me, Brother Xiao, what kind of spiritual herbs are you going to auction this time? Would it be convenient for me to take a look at them?"

"of course."

Xiao Zhu took out the four spiritual herbs he picked from the mirage one by one and placed them on the table in front of him.

They are Tianshan Ganoderma, Amaranthus tricolor, and Snow Ganoderma, and the last one is Ganoderma lucidum whose fragrant fruit has been picked.

The Tianshan Ganoderma was taken by Xiao Zhu and Lin Xuemiao from the giant crocodile in the swamp, and the other three spiritual herbs were found from different places on the island. In fact, Xiao Zhu retrieved more than a dozen spiritual herbs from the mirage, but he didn't know the effects of some of them, so he didn't take them out for the time being.

Seeing the spiritual herbs Xiao Zhu placed on the table, Fan Guangjin was stunned. Having served as the steward of Miri Auction House for many years, he was definitely knowledgeable, but the spiritual herbs in front of him were extremely rare, and he had only heard of the names of some of them, but did not know their true value.

Especially that Tianshan Ganoderma lucidum, which looked to be over a hundred years old. He had never heard of such a treasure.

"Brother Xiao, please forgive me for my lack of talent and difficulty in assessing the value of these spiritual herbs. Please take a rest here for a while. I will go and ask the chief pharmacist of the auction to come over." After saying this, Fan Guangjin left in a hurry.

About a quarter of an hour later, Fan Guangjin and a thin old man with age spots all over his face walked in. Fan Guangjin introduced, "Brother Xiao, this is the chief pharmacist, Mr. Zhong. He will personally evaluate these drugs."

Elder Zhong simply greeted Xiao Zhu and focused all his attention on the spiritual herbs in front of him.

Old Zhong looked at the first three spiritual herbs one by one, nodded slowly after each one, and finally he turned his attention to the Tianshan Ganoderma lucidum.

"Huh? This is Tianshan Ganoderma Lucidum. Judging from its quality, it is more than 170 years old."

"Back then, the Demon Hunter Association sent a hunter king to lead a team. They risked their lives to search for more than a month in the Wangtian Mountains in the south, but they only found a Tianshan Ganoderma lucidum that was more than 30 years old. It is a far cry from this one."

"Brother Xiao, besides this Tianshan Ganoderma lucidum, do you have the blood of the beast king and the golden lotus?" Old Zhong looked at Xiao Zhu and asked.

"Blood of the Beast King? Golden Lotus?" Xiao Zhu had never heard of these two terms.

"Well, it is said that the combination of the hundred-year-old Tianshan Ganoderma, the blood of the beast king, and the golden lotus can be refined into a magical elixir called the Transformation Pill. This elixir is very magical. It is said that after taking it, the magic beast can transform into a human form. However, I have only heard of it and have never seen it."
