The Supreme God

The woman heard about Austin's intent to attend the auction, so she flashed a professional smile.

"Well, you're in luck. There is an auction today. And as far as I know, there is a sword skill book among the items we are selling.

Please pay 3000 vital energy crystals as cash pledge, 1000 vital energy crystals for the consulting fee, 2000 vital energy crystals as the appraisal fee, and 500 as the seat-assignment fee. That's 6500 in total. After you have paid the fees, I'll guide you in," prattled the woman.

"What? 6500?"

Austin blurted out in shock.

"Cash pledge, which I think is very reasonable. Consulting fee, I can reluctantly accept. But the appraisal fee? I did not take anything here to put up for sale. What should I pay the appraisal fee for? And seat-assignment fee? Do guests have to pay for their own seats when they come here? Am I in a theater or what?"

Austin felt outraged by this swindle.

"Pshaw!"

The smile on the woman's face froze on her lips. She then snorted and explained impatiently," Mister, you should know that any item that's displayed in the auction has been specially appraised, and it is absolutely impossible to pass away fakes as genuine.

The auction house promises every cultivator that they will never be deceived in buying a fake here.

This is why all participants, be they sellers or bidders, as long as they attend the auction, have to pay a share of the appraisal fee. And if you are reluctant to pay the high sum of money, you can try your luck on the street. Many people set up stalls there, and I think you may find what you want, or perhaps you will not.

What's more, as you see, the magnificent architecture of the Ganges Auction House. It is the most comfortable environment for every cultivator who participates in the auction. But we have to pay maintenance fees for these buildings, don't we? Therefore, the seat-assignment fee..."

Austin thought about it, and knew that it was useless to argue with this woman. Besides, these fees were not only for him, but everyone who attended the auction. All he could do was obediently take out the vital energy crystals in the corresponding sum, and hand it over to the woman.

"Very good. I'll lead you in right now." After receiving Austin's vital energy crystals, the woman smiled again and gestured for him to wait.

After taking care of all the paperwork, Austin stepped into the auction house led in by a waitress. Like the woman had said, there was already an auction in progress.

Once inside, the bright surroundings dimmed into a dark place with few lights being lit. Austin furrowed his brows to concentrate on the Intermittent noises that he could hear from the stage.
