Chapter Ninety-two: Snake Scale Fruit

  Ye Chen was shocked again as soon as he entered the room. The decoration inside was luxurious to the extreme.

  The room is not too big, with a huge floor-to-ceiling window in front of it, making it easy to see the outside scene. The top of the room has eight night pearls that illuminate the originally dark room very brightly! In the middle, there is a table with many fruits on it that Ye Chen has never seen before. There are two long chairs next to it.

  Lan Qianqian smiled slightly at Ye Chen's expression, gesturing to the maid to leave. She then spoke softly to Ye Chen: "This auction house has two floors, but actually it's just one floor. The second floor is just a circular hall with eighteen rooms, divided into Tianzi House 1-6 and Dizi House 1-12. Ordinary people can enter from the first floor and sit in the lower seats. Some capable ones can only enter the Dizi House. As for the Tianzi House, those who can enter are the most capable people in my Tianlan City!"

  Ye Chen listened to Lan Qianqian's words, glanced at Liu Yuer, and then slowly walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down.

  "I said earlier how the attic outside looked very spacious, but as soon as I entered, the area suddenly shrunk by more than ten times. It turns out it's like this!" Ye Chen looked at the auction venue below and nodded slightly.

  Liu Yuer directly sat on the long bench and said to Lan Qianqian, "When are we starting? Don't delay our departure time!"

  Lan Qianqian smiled slightly, glanced at Liu Yuer, and said to Ye Chen: "It will start soon, just wait a moment. You can eat some fruit first, these fruits are all from outside, ordinary people can't eat them!"

  Upon hearing this, Ye Chen smiled slightly and sat down slowly. He picked up a fruit, took a bite, and said with a look of enjoyment: "It's really not bad!"

  "Of course!"

  Lan Qianqian smiled slightly and sat down opposite Ye Chen, looking at him with a gentle affection in her eyes that was completely different from the majestic demeanor she showed to others.

  Liu Yuer's eyes narrowed slightly. As a woman, she easily detected the loving intention in Lan Qianqian's eyes and her eyebrows furrowed slightly.

  Before long, a pleasant sound came from outside the room, and the originally bright hall suddenly darkened.

  Lan Qianqian slowly got up, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, took a glance outside through the window, and then softly said to Ye Chen: "The auction has started! If you see something you like later, tell me and I'll buy it for you as compensation!"

  Ye Chen smiled slightly and didn't say a word. He immediately stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at what was below.

  Liu Yuer also walked to Ye Chen's side with a look of interest! Although Liu Yuer had seen many scenes, she hadn't actually been to an auction a few times!

  As the lights dimmed in the auction hall, the noise that had been present earlier also subsided, and everyone's gaze converged on the auction platform in the center of the venue, quietly waiting for the start of the auction.

  A moment later, the auction stage lit up, and an old man slowly walked up from one side, scanning the scene with his eyes, and then said in a majestic tone: "The auction is now beginning!"

  Liu Yuer stood beside Ye Chen, looking at the old man below, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and said to Ye Chen: "This person is likely to have the strength of Yuandan's peak!"

  "Haha! That's a given, this person is the chief great benefactor of my Lan family, his strength has already reached the tenth level of Yuan Dan. I didn't expect Father to call him for support this time, it seems that the things being auctioned off must be something good!"

  Lan Qianqian looked at the old man in the middle of the field, smiled slightly, and explained to Ye Chen and Liu Yu'er, while also looking at Liu Yu'er with some surprise. She didn't expect that Liu Yu'er could see through this person's cultivation.

  Liu Yuer looked at Lan Qianqian's puzzled expression, smiled slightly, and didn't tell Lan Qianqian about her own cultivation. After all, Ye Chen and Liu Yuer had only known Lan Qianqian for just one day, so it was better to be cautious!

  Ye Chen glanced at the two women and shook his head with a bitter smile.

  At this time, the old man's voice sounded again in the field, drawing the attention of the three people back.

  The auction has begun!

  The old man on the auction stage made a gesture to the people below, and immediately a maid walked over with a plate in her hands, on which was placed an ancient scroll. She put it in front of the old man, bowed slightly, and then slowly backed away.

  The old man picked up the scroll and shouted to the crowd in the field: "This is a second-grade skill scroll, called Tu Qi Jue! It's the pinnacle of second-grade skills!"

  Ye Chen was originally excited, but when he heard the old man say that it was a skill book, he lost interest and slowly sat back down, also not paying attention to the auction scene.

  For Ye Chen, he was willing to come at first because he had never seen an auction scene before. Now that he has seen it, there is no interest for him anymore. After all, Ye Chen lacks nothing now and does not need to rely on auctions to buy things.

  Liu Yuer looked at Ye Chen with a completely uninterested expression, then provocatively glanced at Lan Qianqian before turning around and sitting down beside Ye Chen, starting to chat idly with him.

  Lan Qianqian looked at Ye Chen's expression, her face slightly embarrassed, and then sat back in her original position.

  However, Ye Chen looked down on things and caused a sensation in the auction room!

  Everyone looked at the old man's hand holding the ancient scroll, and they all showed an excited expression.

  Among the people present, although most are Shattered Body Realm cultivators who cannot cultivate even if they have a technique, it does not mean that others do not need it! It must be known that techniques may not be rare, but they will absolutely not fall into the hands of ordinary people. Generally, even low-level techniques will be monopolized by sects, causing some ordinary people outside to remain stuck in the Qi Gathering Realm for their entire lives due to the lack of a technique.

  "I've decided on this technique!"

  "What about you? You're only at seven fragments, it's useless even if you want to! I'm already at ten fragments!"

  "Never mind! I still want it!"

  .....

  The scene immediately echoed with people constantly shouting prices, and finally it was bought by someone else for a price of 10,000 taels of gold.

  Ye Chen was eating the fruit in his plate, one bite at a time, while chatting non-stop with Er Nu. Through their conversation, he also learned Lan Qianqian's name, and Lan Qianqian learned Ye Chen's name as well.

  As time went by second by second, Liu Yuer also became more and more impatient. She turned her head to Ye Chen and said: "It's getting late now, when are we leaving?"

  Ye Chen listened to Liu Yuer's words, glanced at Lan Qianqian, and then said to Liu Yuer: "Now that we've come, let's just leave now?"

  Upon hearing this, Liu Yuer nodded at Ye Chen and immediately stood up to leave.

  Lan Qianqian was chatting with Ye Chen enthusiastically, and when she heard that Ye Chen wanted to leave, she hastily said: "Don't be in a hurry! The auction hasn't ended yet! Maybe there will be something good later!"

  Upon hearing this, Ye Chen slightly shook his head at Lan Xiangxiang, stood up and said: "Thank you for your kindness today, I really must leave with Master Yan!"

  Just then, a voice came from the auction scene, and Ye Chen's expression changed, he rushed to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked up at the auction stage.

  The old man picked up the object on the plate, and with a smile from the crowd, he said: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the third-to-last item in our auction, which is a medicinal material called Snake Scale Fruit! I won't explain much about it, after all, this thing has different uses for different alchemists!"

  "Draconic Fruit!"

  This is what made Ye Chen's expression change in surprise!

  Ye Chen's mind was already frozen when he heard the old man's words! In an instant, a very mysterious dan furnace appeared!

  Shenglin Dan!

  Sheng Lin Dan, the pinnacle of eight-grade elixir refinement, extremely difficult to produce, requires five types of scale fruits: dragon scale fruit, phoenix scale fruit, tiger scale fruit, snake scale fruit, and turtle scale fruit as medicine guides. In combination with seventy-nine kinds of rare medicinal materials, it can be refined!

  After taking Sheng Lin Dan, you can directly break through the current boundary and enter the next boundary!

  Ye Chen's mind kept flashing with all sorts of data about the 'Sacred Scale Fruit'!

  The more he thought about it, the more astonished Ye Chen became!

  Liu Yuer and Lan Qianqian looked at Ye Chen's expression, both of them slightly furrowed their brows, and slowly walked to Ye Chen's side, with a puzzled face looking towards the auction stage.

  Lan Qianqian looked at the items on the auction table, turned her head and smiled slightly at Ye Chen, saying: "Do you need it?"

  Upon hearing this, Ye Chen turned his head and nodded at Lan Qianqian, saying: "Yes! It's very important to me!"

  Although the refining of Sheng Lin Dan is beyond Ye Chen's reach, not to mention that 8th grade medicinal herbs are not something Ye Chen can refine at present. Even if he had the necessary medicinal materials, they are not something Ye Chen's current strength can touch! However, this Snake Scale Fruit is absolutely a treasure that can be encountered but not sought after. If in the future he collects all the other medicinal materials but lacks only this Snake Scale Fruit, Ye Chen will probably want to die at that time!

  Lan Qianqian smiled slightly and said: "Since that's the case, I'll help you buy it! Consider it as compensation for you!"

  Ye Chen listened to Lan Qianqian's words, his face lit up with joy, and he nodded slightly. Although Ye Chen was a person with extremely strong self-esteem, at this moment, he also understood that he probably didn't have the ability to buy it back, and if he tried to force it, it would be unrealistic. Even if Liu Yuer helped him, it would still be impossible to get it back!

  Liu Yuer's eyebrows furrowed slightly, but she didn't say a word. She could tell that this object was extremely important to Ye Chen, however, since she had rushed out this time, she hadn't brought much money with her. If she wanted to buy it, the money on her probably wouldn't be enough.

  The three of them immediately focused their attention back on the auction scene.

  The old man looked at the 'Snake Scale Fruit' in his hand and smiled slightly, then said to the crowd: "The auction is starting! The base price is 100,000 taels! No upper limit! You can also exchange it for items of equal value!"

  As the old man's voice fell, the scene fell into a silence. For these ordinary people, no one understood the value of this 'Snake Scale Fruit', so no one would buy such a medicinal material at such a high price!

  Besides, how many alchemists are there in this Tianlan City? Even if there were, how many of them could recognize the preciousness of this snake scale fruit?

  The old man looked at the scene for a long time without anyone bidding, and his eyebrows slightly frowned. He said in a low voice, "If no one bids, this item will be put away!"

  "One hundred thousand!"

  The old man's voice had just fallen when a woman's voice came from the Tianzi No. 5 room, and it was Lan Qianqian who was shouting the price!
