Fantasy: The Clan Chief Lies Down, His House Is Full of Emperors

As soon as Xu Qingzhou and his group entered Jubaolou, they were pushed aside by an invisible force. Turning their heads, they saw a group of people surrounding a young man who was dressed in rich clothes and had a thin figure.

They cleared a path for him from a great distance; what a grand display!

I overheard someone nearby saying that he was the young master of the You family, one of the four great families of Duanshan City. No wonder even his attendants were at the Heavenly Palace Realm, and he was surrounded by smiling faces and flattering voices.

If you don't have any status or power, you're not qualified to curry favor with him.

Xu Qingzhou didn't care about this matter, mainly because it wouldn't make a difference anyway.

However, the young and impetuous Xu Muge and Xu Chen curled their lips in disapproval.

Since the Xu family is neither qualified nor necessary to go to the private room upstairs, Xu Qingzhou and his group simply found a place to sit in the lobby.

Just from the discussions of those around him, one could get a general idea of ​​the situation of some of the forces in the city.

"I heard that an ancient ruin was discovered in the Starry Sea. People from the City Lord's Mansion and the four major families went there and made some gains."

"It's not just some, the harvest is huge. Rumor has it that some treasures have already been brought back and will be auctioned off."

"No wonder this auction was so lively."

"If these treasures are exceptionally valuable, most people might head to the Starry Sea after the auction ends."

After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the auction officially began.

The once noisy hall instantly fell silent; you could hear a pin drop.

The auctioneer appeared on the stage ahead. She was a powerful female cultivator at the Dharma Aspect Realm, with a beautiful face and a tall figure.

"Welcome to our once-every-ten-year grand auction at the Jubao Tower in Duanshan City."

"We hope everyone will abide by the rules of our Jubaolou."

"The auction has officially begun."

"The first item up for auction is a stone egg found in the ancient ruins of the Starry Sea. It contains obvious signs of life. The starting price is one thousand high-grade spirit stones, and each bid must be at least twenty stones higher."

As soon as the tall auctioneer finished speaking, bids poured in.

Xu Muge asked curiously, "What does 'stone egg' mean?"

Xu Luo explained, "Some ancient monster eggs failed to hatch for various reasons. In addition, the spiritual energy in their environment was not sufficient. As time went by, a special stone skin would slowly appear around the egg. These eggs are called stone eggs."

"The monster inside the stone egg may be alive or dead. Due to the special stone skin barrier, there is currently no way to confirm whether the monster inside is alive or dead without opening the stone egg."

Little Gray also failed to hatch in ancient times for some reason, but the environment it was in was rich in spiritual energy, which allowed it to remain in that state and not turn into a stone egg.

It was a coincidence that it could run to such a remote place as the three great dynasties, a coincidence that happened only once every tens of thousands of years.

No one knows how it was incubated, which greatly diminishes its value.

Whenever it appears at an auction in a major city in the Eastern Region, its final price increases by a hundred or even a thousand times.

Xu Muge suddenly realized, "Wouldn't it be a huge loss to buy a dead egg at a high price?"

"It all depends on the buyer's eye and luck," Xu Luo said, glancing at Xu Ying. He admired his little sister's luck; she was more likely to buy a live egg than anyone else.

Xu Qingzhou understood that there was only one stone egg on the stage now, and under these circumstances, Xu Ying's luck was not as useful as Xu Chen's Qi Observation Technique.

At this moment, Xu Chen had already used the Qi Observation Technique and shook his head inwardly.

[It's completely worthless; it seems like a dead animal. Anyone who buys it at a high price will definitely be in big trouble.]

The stone egg was quickly bought by someone for several thousand high-grade spirit stones; what a sucker!

At this moment, the tall auctioneer said, "The exploration of the ancient ruins of the Starry Sea is now in its final stages. In about a year, many stone eggs will be sent back to the Treasure Pavilion."

"You are welcome to come and choose your favorite stone egg at that time."

The stone egg may contain a living ancient beast cub, or it may just be a wisp of remnant life, with no vitality left inside.

Buying stone eggs is like gambling; if you win, you make a fortune, and if you lose, you suffer a huge loss.

Xu Qingzhou secretly noted down the time, knowing he would definitely bring Xu Ying and Xu Chen to see it later.

The auction continued, and most of the items were extremely valuable. They were useful to Xu Qingzhou and his group, but not very useful.

Of course, the main reason is that they don't have much savings or spare money left, so they naturally want to use the spirit stones in key areas.

It's a pity that the Azure Sacred Gold can't be put up for auction now, otherwise they would have enough spirit stones to participate in the bidding.

For treasures of the Azure Nether Saint Gold caliber, it's best to have a powerful figure commission the auction and also to promote it in advance. Only in this way can the profits be maximized with a certainty.

"The next item up for auction is a special wine recipe."

This surprised everyone; what kind of wine was qualified to be featured in this grand auction?

The auctioneer held up a palm-sized gray animal hide.

"This wine recipe is very special because it was created by the Sage of Wine and has never appeared on the market before."

"The Sage of Wine has been missing for a thousand years and has most likely passed away, but his cave dwelling ruins, or even his legacy, have never been revealed."

"This wine recipe was leaked from somewhere a few years ago. It is the only thing in the past thousand years that is directly related to the Sage of Wine. Therefore, starting with this wine recipe, there is a certain chance to find the Sage of Wine's lineage."

The Wine Saint was a renowned cultivator, whose legends even circulated in remote places like the Three Great Dynasties.

Although his strength and talent were quite ordinary, and he could not even be considered a prodigy, and his life was not long, only three or four hundred years, a thousand years have passed, and people still remember him.

Even after thousands or tens of thousands of years, people will still remember him.

This is because he is too special. The Sage of Wine entered the Tao through wine and was accompanied by wine. It can be said that he was born for wine.

Throughout his life, the Sage of Wine brewed over a hundred kinds of spirit wines. Of these, 20% were widely circulated in Cangzhou, 30% were relatively ordinary, and the remaining 50% have all been lost.

Anyone who has ever drunk Lingjiu has basically tasted the wine of the Wine Saint.

When it comes to spirit wine, the Wine Saint is an unavoidable figure.

The auctioneer's words immediately sparked a heated discussion, but most people were speechless.

"The idea of ​​finding the lineage of a wine master based on a wine recipe is utterly absurd."

"Yes, they wouldn't go to such lengths to fabricate such a story just to raise the price."

"However, the wine sage's wine recipe is indeed precious and definitely worth acquiring."

Jubaolou had anticipated the controversy from the audience and did not try to stop it. They could believe it or not, and the auctioneer simply called out the price.

"The starting bid for the Wine Saint's Wine Recipe is 5,000 high-grade spirit stones, and each bid must be at least 100 high-grade spirit stones higher."

The auctioneer had barely finished speaking.

Bidding continued. Even if the auctioneer was making things up, the fact that this recipe couldn't be used to trace the lineage of the Wine Saint made it worth the hefty price tag.

At the same time, Xu Qingzhou heard two voices from the side.

Great stuff! Buy it!

[So that's what it is! I definitely have to buy it!]
