Chapter 46 My son Wang Teng has the potential to be an emperor! [Seeking monthly votes]
Heavily armed guards could be seen everywhere in the golden hall. The badges on their chests indicated they belonged to the Spirit Pagoda.
This Spirit Ice Auction House had four floors. The first floor was filled with countless glass counters, displaying a variety of items.
The second floor was used for regular auctions, typically auctioning less valuable items.
The third floor was responsible for more expensive items, items beyond the reach of ordinary people.
As for the fourth floor, it might not be used for a year or two, but when it was, the items offered were invariably rare and elusive!
In addition to the first floor, the auctions held on the second, third, and fourth floors required a personal identification check before entry.
Without sufficient financial resources, one wouldn't even be allowed in!
Huo Yuhao was casually strolling around the first floor when his eyes fell on a medicinal herb.
Huo Yuhao walked forward, picked up the herb, and examined it again and again. He looked at the bearded old man at the stall and asked,
"How much is this dragon blood grass?"
The bearded old man didn't even look up, "Twenty thousand Federation Coins."
Huo Yuhao nodded, finding the price reasonable.
Huo Yuhao then put the dragon blood grass down and picked up other herbs one by one, expressing interest in many of them.
Finally, he picked up a badly damaged copper plate from the old man's counter.
As soon as he touched the plate, he felt a slight chill.
Huo Yuhao played with it in his hands for a while, then asked Ilex in his sea of spirit,
"Master Yi, is this really an ancient artifact?"
Ilex smiled and said, "Don't worry, I still have some good eyesight."
Huo Yuhao: "Okay, I understand."
"Old sir, how much is this copper plate?"
"One hundred thousand federal coins. I don't know what this copper plate is for, but I can tell it's an old item."
Upon hearing this, some of the onlookers also looked at the copper plate in Huo Yuhao's hand, but they didn't see anything special about it.
It looked like this copper plate had been in the hands of the old man with the curly beard for who knows how long!
It was probably just a useless copper plate!
The old man with the curly beard was clearly taking advantage of Huo Yuhao's youth and was ready to make a killing.
Isn't this just bullying an honest man?
The old man looked at Huo Yuhao nonchalantly, without the slightest hesitation.
"Okay, I'll buy it!"
"Wow!" The crowd exclaimed in surprise.
Someone actually was willing to spend 100,000 federal coins for a badly damaged copper plate.
Whose foolish son of a landlord is this?
Huo Yuhao handed the money to the bearded old man and was about to take the copper plate when a voice rang out and a hand suddenly reached out and snatched it from the counter.
"Haha, my friend, I've got your eye on this copper plate too. Would you mind parting with it?
I'll give you double the price!"
Huo Yuhao's smile faded, and a cold look settled in his eyes.
The one who had suddenly made the move was a young man in white. Although he smiled, one could sense a veiled contempt for Huo Yuhao and his group beneath his smile.
Perhaps Chu Feng's dusty appearance had made him mistake Huo Yuhao and his group for outsiders.
"We bought this first!" Gu Yuena said angrily.
The young man in white chuckled frivolously, "Wow! Whose little beauty is this? She's so pretty!"
"Little beauty, if you are willing to follow this young master, this young master will give you this copper plate!"
Gu Yuena sneered: "Shameless!"
Huo Yuhao said lightly:
"I have already bought the copper plate, and I have already paid the money. Return the thing to me.
Otherwise, I will come and get it myself."
The white-clothed young man twitched his mouth slightly, and then a follower behind him stepped forward.
"What country bumpkin did you come from? It's your honor that my young master likes your things. Why don't you want it!"
Chu Feng behind Huo Yuhao said:
"Everything should be based on first come first served. We have already bought this copper plate.
And we don't want to resell it to your young master.
I advise you not to make yourselves unhappy!"
The white-clothed young man laughed and said: "What a joke!
"Is there anyone in this Lingbing Auction House that Wang Teng can't afford to offend?"
Huo Yuhao's eyes grew colder as he saw the other party show no intention of returning the copper plate.
He clenched his fist fiercely, packing a powerful force, and smashed it hard into the white-clothed young man's face.
The young man had never expected someone would dare to attack him at the Lingbing Auction House.
Caught off guard, he had just unleashed his Martial Spirit when Huo Yuhao's punch sent him flying, slamming him hard into the wall.
The next moment, Huo Yuhao darted in front of the young man and snatched the copper plate from his hand.
"With this little strength, you dare to imitate others and rob people?"
The young man was shocked. He was a three-ringed Soul Master, a top talent in Lingbing City.
The other man looked even younger than him, yet he had managed to knock him out with a punch without even unleashing his Martial Spirit.
This guy is no ordinary person!
"You... you dare to mess with me, Wang Teng? You won't leave this Lingbing Auction House in peace today!
If you've got the guts, wait here!"
The young man in white wiped the blood from his mouth and ran out of the Lingbing Auction House.
His followers, behind him, looked at Huo Yuhao with horror before following him out.
Seeing Huo Yuhao dare to mess with Wang Teng, the onlookers thought he was crazy. How many people in this Lingbing Auction House would dare to mess with Wang Teng?
The conflict also attracted the attention of the Lingbing Auction House guards. Soon, a middle-aged man in a silver robe swiftly descended from the second floor.
The middle-aged man sighed softly and said to Huo Yuhao and the others,
"Three distinguished guests, this must be your first time at our Lingbing Auction House.
The young man in white, Wang Teng, is the son of one of our managers."
"Wang Teng will undoubtedly complain to his father when he returns.
And then his father will undoubtedly come and cause trouble for you.
"Three distinguished guests, would you mind stepping aside for a moment?"
Huo Yuhao said calmly, "We still need to buy some more herbs.
It's okay, let Wang Teng come!"
The silver-robed middle-aged man frowned. Were these three truly powerful?
Or were they simply ignorant of their own limitations?
Didn't they know the Wang family was not to be messed with?
...
An incense stick of time passed.
A loud shout rang out from outside the Lingbing Auction Hall: "Who is it? Who just bullied my son, Wang Shan?"
Then, a short, stout, and greasy middle-aged man entered the Lingbing Auction Hall.
Behind him followed Wang Teng, who had been knocked down by Huo Yuhao's punch.
Wang Shan's sinister eyes swept over Huo Yuhao and his three companions. He pointed at Huo Yuhao's nose and cursed,
"Where did you come from, you country bumpkins?
Why don't you ask about our Wang family's standing in the Spirit Ice Auction House?
My son has the potential to enter the Far North Branch of the Spirit Pagoda and study under the Snow Empress' servants.
My son, Wang Teng, has the potential to become a Great Emperor!"
