Chapter 628 The Largest Auction Agency!

“The Guru Realm and the aura of a guru . It’s so freakish . ”

Feeling the aura on the sword that could attract the Qi of Heaven and Earth, Fang Qiu couldn’t help but sigh with emotion .

He took off his coat and wrapped the Guru Sword in it .

Then, Fang Qiu dashed back to the Long family in a flash .

He returned to the underground workshop in the backyard .

Fang Qiu directly took the remaining 17 swords, as well as the Newborn Moon Sword Long Qiyun cast by himself and the other two fifth-class swords he made before . Except for the one that He Gaoming had taken away and the first fifth-grade sword that didn’t look like a sword at all, there were exactly 20 swords in total .

After collecting all the swords, Fang Qiu wasted no time to take off quietly .

The Guru Sword was no small matter .

Before the official auction, it was better to keep it a secret for the time being . Otherwise, it would absolutely induce a lot of unnecessary trouble .

A few hours later .

When He Gaoming and Long Qiyun came to the workshop again, Fang Qiu was already gone, leaving only a stack of folded notes and a sheet of paper full of words in the workshop .

Written on the note was “private note for Long Qiyun” .

He unfolded the note .

There was only one line written on the paper, “Brother Long, as life goes on, we’ll meet again if we have the fortune!”

Then, Long Qiyun unfolded the sheet of paper .

He found that this message was actually written by Fang Qiu himself . It recorded his experience of leveling up from the fourth class to the fifth class .

After confirming that Fang Qiu had left, in the workshop, Long Qiyun and He Gaoming looked at each other, speechless .

At this moment, however, Fang Qiu had already taken off his mask, changed into a new set of clothes, and headed for the capital .

Since he got the human skin mask in Beijiang, Fang Qiu had been wearing it the whole time and hadn’t taken it off once . So now he still looked like a different person .

As for why he was heading for the capital, of course it was because he was going to find the largest auction agency!

How could a regular auction agency dare to auction a Guru Sword?

Even if they wanted to make the deal, Fang Qiu wouldn’t dare to let them have it!

At the airport in Longquan .

Fang Qiu bought a big traveling bag outside the airport, put all 20 swords in the bag, and then called Li Ji to fill him in on the situation, hoping that he could board the plane with these swords .

But Li Ji only told one thing . “Board the plane with your new identity . ”

Confused, Fang Qiu used Lin Yu’s identification card to buy the ticket . No sooner had he bought the ticket than a staff member came out and invited him to take the VIP channel respectfully . He was even spared from the security check .

Like that, Fang Qiu boarded the plane with his swords .

After landing at the capital airport, Fang Qiu walked out of the airport and immediately took a taxi to the antique street . He visited all the antique shops, trying to find some sheaths .

As it turned out, he didn’t find any sheath but spotted a large jade case .

The jade case was flat and wide, with two layers . On each layer, there were 10 pen-container-like indentations with a lid on the front . Under each lid was a large space, which could accommodate a sword .

Since Fang Qiu couldn’t find any sheath, he could only take this jade case . He put the 20 swords in it and strapped the case over his shoulder .

Although that made him pretty eye-catching, it also saved Fang Qiu a lot of trouble .

“Please drive to Chic Cloud Pavilion!”

At the end of the antique street, Fang Qiu got in a taxi and called to the driver .

The Chic Cloud Pavilion was one of the top 10 auction agencies in Huaxia .

Also, it was tacitly acknowledged that it was the number one of the large auction agencies in Huaxia!

The Chic Cloud Pavilion was founded in 1900 when Emperor Guangxu still reigned over the country . So far, it had enjoyed a history of more than 100 years .

It had been a powerful group enterprise .

In addition, the Chic Cloud Pavilion also had a great reputation in Wulin .

Up to now, it was still unheard of that anyone dared to make trouble in the Chic Cloud Pavilion .

In fact, the Chic Cloud Pavilion referred to two places .

First, it was the Chic Cloud Pavilion International Auction Corporation .

This was an auction agency opening to the folks .

The second was to the Chic Cloud Pavilion!

“Which Chic Cloud Pavilion are you going to?”

When the car started, the driver asked, “Is it the Chic Cloud Pavilion Auction Corporation or the Chic Cloud Pavilion with a stone table?”

“The one with a stone tablet,” said Fang Qiu .

He had checked it out on the Wulin website .

In Wulin, the auction agency of the Chic Cloud Pavilion was right at the stone tablet .

Soon, then the taxi took Fang Qiu to the Chic Cloud Pavilion with a stone tablet .

Getting out of the car, a very strange place appeared in front of Fang Qiu .

It was not in the capital, not even within the Fifth Ring Road Area . Actually, it was in the countryside .

Around were all courtyard dwellings .

The stone tablet of the Chic Cloud Pavilion was right in front of him, on top of an ancient building .

The front of the ancient building was a small one-story building in an ancient style . The door was covered with gauze curtains . The stone tablet was on the top of this building and connected with the ancient-style building at the rear .

Fang Qiu took a closer look at it . There was nothing special about the stone tablet but three words were carved on it— Chic Cloud Pavilion . That was all .

As all the people in Wulin always looked for this Chic Cloud Pavilion, the taxi drivers in the capital habitually called this place the Chic Cloud Pavilion with a stone table .

The taxi went off .

Fang Qiu stepped forward, pulled up the curtains, and walked in .

The room was not spacious . It was long and narrow .

On the left side, some ancient calligraphy paintings were hung neatly on the wall, which looked quite ancient . There were seven chandeliers on the top, all of which were ancient Lotus Heart Lanterns, with a candle in each golden lotus candlestick .

On the right sat a five-meter-long counter at the entrance .

There was nothing on the counter, nor was any inside it .

“What can I help you?”

Just as Fang Qiu was looking around, he suddenly heard a nonchalant voice .

He looked in the direction of the voice .

He saw behind the counter, a middle-aged man in his 40s was sprawling in a very low-laid rattan bed with his eyes closed, thinking about something .

“I want to auction something off,” Fang Qiu said briskly .

“You’ve come to the wrong place . If you want to auction something, go to the company . This is not an auction agency,” without even opening his eyes, the middle-aged man said in a teasing tone .

“This is surely the right place I’m looking for . ”

Fang Qiu smiled and urged, “Get up and have a look . ”

At his words, the middle-aged man’s legs stretched out, then he opened an eye, looked at Fang Qiu, and slowly stood up .

Although there were seven lamps, since they were all candlelight flickering in this narrow room flickered, it inevitably made people feel a little depressed .

“I’ve told you, this is not an auction agency . ”

The middle-aged man glanced at Fang Qiu speechlessly and said, “But as I have nothing to do and you want me to check out your items, I’ll see what good stuff you want to auction off . ”

Fang Qiu smiled faintly .

Then he patted the bottom of the jade case on his back with his right hand .

“Swoosh!”

A sword’s holler rang out .

A sword instantly flew out of the jade case from behind .

A bright twinkle flitted across the middle-aged man’s eyes .

“A fifth-class sword . ”

Fang Qiu put the sword on the counter .

“Nice sword . ”

The middle-aged man’s eyes lit up . He picked up the fifth-class sword and observed it . Then, he cast a significant look at Fang Qiu and said, “It’s a good sword indeed, but I have to test it to see if it has reached the fifth class . ”

“Be my guest . ”

Fang Qiu nodded approvingly .

The middle-aged man immediately took out a piece of jade as thin as a piece of paper .

He put the sword on it .

The next moment, threads of silver energy lines suddenly appeared on the jade paper . The energy lines quickly rushed up from the bottom of the jade paper, stopping at a place a little further than the middle line .

“Surely it’s a fifth-class sword . ”

The middle-aged man was pleasantly surprised .

“Uh, what is this thing?”

Fang Qiu was intrigued .

“This is a Sword Testing Stone . ”

The middle-aged man glanced at Fang Qiu and explained, “No other place has this stone . But it’s only a device to the test weapons and has no other uses . The jade is not fine jade either . ”

“Amazing,” Fang Qiu exclaimed .

He didn’t expect that there was such a thing in this world . Compared with this, his method of unifying the man and the sword was too primitive .

It was true that the world was full of wonders .

Of course, the existence of the Sword Testing Stone also indirectly proved the powerful strength of other the Chic Cloud Pavilion .

If they didn’t have enough strength, how could they get a hold of this kind of Sword Testing Stone when no one else could?

“Who is the owner of this fifth-class sword? How could it have such a strong aura?” The middle-aged man gazed at the silver energy lines on the jade paper, which still hadn’t dissipated, and asked in great surprise .

“This has nothing to do with the auction, right?” Fang Qiu questioned instead of answering .

“You got me . ”

The middle-aged man shook his head and smiled .

“How much do you reckon this sword can be sold for?” Fang Qiu inquired .

“Normally, the price is about 1 . 5 million,” the middle-aged man said .

“How is the service charge then?” Fang Qiu asked again .

“10%!”

The middle-aged man smiled and said, “In an ordinary auction agency, a fifth-class sword can be sold for more than one million yuan, but less than 1 . 5 million yuan . At ours, even though you have to pay 10% as the service charge, it will definitely be worthy of it . If you are lucky, you’ll make quite a big sum . ”

“It’s too high . ”

Fang Qiu shook his head .

Honestly, he didn’t know much about auction . This time, he planned to make at least tens of millions out of the auction, but if he had to pay 10% as the service charge, the auction agency would actually take a few million away from his pocket .

As Fang Qiu was short of money, he naturally felt distressed if he were to give up several million yuan .

“High?”

The middle-aged man laughed and said, “We Chic Cloud Pavilion is the largest auction agency in Wulin . There is enough guarantee in all aspects . Whether you buy the best stuff that is easy to be coveted by others or get a huge profit that makes others jealous of you, as long as you are in the territory of Chic Cloud Pavilion, we can guarantee that no one dares to lay a hand on you!”

“So, how could we lower the service charge?”

Hearing that remark, Fang Qiu nodded with understanding .

Indeed, as the largest auction agency in Wulin, the Chic Cloud Pavilion’s service fee was really not overcharged .

“What if I auction in bulk?” Fang Qiu thought for a moment and asked, “If there are multiple auction items, can this fee go down a little?”

“Haha . ”

The middle-aged man laughed heartily and said to Fang Qiu, “My friend, if you’re auctioning the national treasures, maybe I won’t charge you anything . ”

Although it sounded like he was joking, the middle-aged man’s words also told Fang Qiu that if the items were good enough, and the service charge could be negotiated .

“Smack!”

Without hesitation, Fang Qiu clapped his right hand on the jade case again .

“Swoosh!”

From the jade box, another fifth-class sword flew out .

Seeing this, the middle-aged man smiled .

His face told Fang Qiu clearly what he was thinking .

One fifth-class sword was only 1 . 5 million, and two were only three million . How could the service fee be reduced given such a low value?

However, before the middle-aged man could say something, the jade case on Fang Qiu’s back suddenly buzzed continuously .

“Click…”

The 12 lids, which were originally tightly closed with linen threads tied to the case separately, were suddenly opened one after another .

“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!”

Once more, swords flew out .

There were 12 in total!

Fang Qiu controlled the 12 swords with his internal Qi and made them all fell on the five-meter-long counter, occupying most of the surface of the desk .

Seeing so many swords, the middle-aged man was also taken aback .

“These 12 swords are all sixth-class weapons!” Fang Qiu remarked while the middle-aged man was still in shock .
