C351 Start of auction (1/2)
At the auction site of Wan Feng Auction House.
There was not a speck of dust on the carved jade chair; it was as bright as new.
The lights in the hall were dim.
This was the auction house's intention. After all, some items would require a light source to make them more attractive. If the lights in the auction house were too bright, there would be no effect.
Some items would require the light to become dimmer.
As Zhan Tianming sat in the VIP room, he could easily see the outside from the inside, but no one would be able to see him.
There were no exceptions.
The buzzing sounds of discussions could be heard in the air, and the sounds of people whispering to each other could be heard.
But who cares?
Moments later …
Drip!
A ray of light shot out from the Scorching Sun Stone and landed on a crystal in the shape of a pillar. The light immediately shot out in all directions, illuminating the entire stage. People in the distance could even see circles of multicolored halos in the air.
Moments later, the multicolored light slowly dissipated.
An old man walked up to the auction stage.
The old man had a head full of white hair, but his face was red like a child's. However, his slightly hunched back and his shriveled hands made it hard for people to take him as a child.
Even if that was the case, it was still on the same level as Heaven Mountain's child.
With the appearance of that old man, the discussion behind the venue also quieted down.
Everyone's gaze all landed on that old man.
However, a voice came from the front row.
”I never thought that the auction this time would be hosted by the Elder Zhao himself.”
”Yeah, the Elder Zhao is a golden signboard at the Wan Feng Auction House. Everything that he auctioned out personally were all top quality goods. I estimate that the treasure found at the bottom of the sea must also be priceless.”
”That's right, otherwise, it would be impossible for Elder Zhao to personally host this auction.”
”Since the Elder Zhao is personally presiding over the auction, then we can all be at ease with the auction now.”
”That's …”
The Martial Cultivator sitting in the front row did not try to hide their intentions, their voices loud and clear.
The others did not say anything reproachful.
After all, everyone present knew the identity of Elder Zhao, and those seated in the front row were all from famous families in Fen City. It was completely normal for them to flatter Elder Zhao.
Everyone was already used to it.
Hearing their discussion, Zhan Tianming looked interested, and began to size up Elder Zhao.
Finally, he rubbed his chin and grinned.
”It seems that he is really a top student.”
On the auction platform.
”Cough, cough …”
Elder Zhao snorted a few times, and the sounds of flattery calmed down. They all knew that the auction was about to begin, and if they continued, it would only cause the situation to go awry.
Therefore, it was time to be silent.
Elder Zhao also raised his bright eyes and slowly swept across the entire audience. He stopped at a few important spots to indicate his respect.
Finally, the Elder Zhao said: ”Everyone, I am very happy to be able to meet everyone here.”
”Your arrival brings light to our humble dwelling. I believe that many distinguished guests are already very familiar with this old one, but according to the rules, I still have to introduce myself. This old one's surname is Zhao, everyone can call me Elder Zhao. ”
”Of course, calling him 'Elder Zhao's Head' doesn't matter.”
”Hahaha …”
