Chapter 431: Chapter 431 Universal Crystal Stone
The only things that piqued Ye Chen’s interest were the Skill and materials.
The Dark God’s Tentacles were exactly one of the materials Ye Chen needed.
Dark God’s Tentacles, a necessity for Dark Attribute Skills!
The old ghost glanced at Ye Chen, as if seeing through Ye Chen’s thoughts, and said disdainfully, "These three items each have significant value. As an LV40 Pet Tamer, you shouldn’t even think about them."
Ye Chen naturally heard the mockery in the old ghost’s words.
"I wonder if I could submit an item for auction?"
Ye Chen said.
Xiao Fan had just come back to his senses from being shocked and hadn’t heard what the old ghost said earlier.
The old ghost glanced at Ye Chen and nodded, saying, "It’s possible, everyone can, but I advise you, don’t bring out some rubbish that can’t hold the stage and embarrass yourself. After all, those participating in the auction have some background, and they won’t take a liking to rubbish. In the end, it will just be unsold, and if it’s unsold, it will only damage the reputation of our Divine Land Trading Company!"
This was indeed true. If an auction had unsold items, it indicated one thing: the auction house wasn’t strong enough and had no good items.
Because good items wouldn’t remain unsold.
If something got unsold in the old ghost’s hands, it wouldn’t be good for his reputation either.
Ye Chen didn’t say a word and took out an item, placing it on the table.
This thing resembled a stone, yet also seemed like a mass of air.
It was composed entirely of gas, but still tangible, and in hand, it felt like jade.
This item was the Universal Crystal Stone gifted to Ye Chen by Orn.
The Universal Crystal Stone is shapeless and colorless and can substitute for any material.
Moreover, it’s Celestial Tier material!
It’s a top-grade material for forging equipment and weapons!
The old ghost’s eyes widened as he looked at the Universal Crystal Stone on the table!
"This! This is, this is the Universal Crystal Stone!"
The old ghost had memorized every item in the Monster Chat Room treasure catalog by heart, so he naturally recognized the Universal Crystal Stone at once!
Xiao Fan’s cheeks twitched as he saw the Universal Crystal Stone, and his eyes bulged wide.
"Brother Ye Chen, how do you have this! Where did you get this Universal Crystal Stone?"
Ye Chen didn’t answer that question, and instead smiled at the old ghost, "Old Ghost Senior, I wonder if this item could be featured at your esteemed auction house?"
The old ghost looked at Ye Chen with astonishment. His eyes were no longer filled with any contempt, and he hurriedly said, "Yes! Yes! Of course, it can! This Universal Crystal Stone can definitely be the finale item for the auction!"
When the old ghost looked at Ye Chen, his eyes were filled with surprise, and even his tone changed.
"Hmm, that’s good then! I’ll leave it to you, Old Ghost Senior!"
Ye Chen maintained a lukewarm attitude even as he noticed the change in the old ghost’s demeanor.
"No trouble at all, no trouble at all!"
After chatting for a while longer, the old ghost took out two pieces of metal and handed them to Xiao Fan and Ye Chen.
The metal pieces were about the size of a bottle cap, with the word "God" written on them.
These metal pieces were the entrance tickets for tonight’s auction.
Ye Chen left the Divine Land Trading Company with the old ghost seeing him off.
The female greeters inside watched the backs of Ye Chen and his companion leaving, their eyes filled with little stars.
"To have someone like Old Ghost himself see them off, what kind of person must he be!"
"I forgot to ask for their contact information, really, ah!"
The two of them sighed with regret, looking as if they repented at leisure.
"Senior Ye Chen!"
A voice suddenly sounded behind Ye Chen.
Ye Chen turned to see five familiar figures.
"Brother Bai Shan, it’s really Senior Ye Chen!"
Cai Yan said excitedly.
These five people were the ones Ye Chen met on the first day he arrived in the First Region, with Bai Shan and the others.
Ye Chen stopped walking, and Cai Yan ran over excitedly.
People around them took notice of Cai Yan, their eyes lighting up, as they stared transfixed at Cai Yan’s prominent features.
Cai Yan perfectly embodied those four words: innocent face, ample bosom!
When she ran, she bounced up and down.
The five arrived before Ye Chen, and Bai Shan respectfully greeted him, "Greetings, Senior Ye Chen!"
The other three also saluted one by one, except for Cai Yan, who held onto Ye Chen’s arm, shaking her body as she coquettishly said, "Brother Ye Chen, how did you end up here? Such a coincidence!"
"Cai Yan! Mind your manners!" Bai Shan reprimanded.
Only then did Cai Yan release Ye Chen’s arm.
The earlier sensation was soft and yielding, and indeed, such behavior was inappropriate on the main street.
If given another chance, wouldn’t that be delightful again?
Ye Chen smiled and said, "I’m here to take care of some things. How about you guys?"
"Well, we, we..." Bai Shan suddenly became hesitant.
"We encountered trouble; when we returned yesterday to divide the spoils, the best Earth Tier artifact was snatched by our captain, but he insisted on keeping it. When we refused, he threatened to use force. We had no choice but to escape here and intend to file a complaint outside the palace!"
Cai Yan explained, aggrieved and frustrated.
"Oh? Is that so?" Xiao Fan, on the side, questioned with a furrowed brow.
"He’s here!"
Bai Shan’s eye flashed coldly as a person approached aggressively.
"Bai Shan, hand over the item. Otherwise, your days in the Law Enforcement Alliance will be miserable!"
The man was tall, seemingly in his early thirties, and glared fiercely at Bai Shan.
Without waiting for Bai Shan to speak, Xiao Fan stepped forward.
"Dog Fang?"
The man’s pupils dilated, looking at Xiao Fan. Upon recognizing him, the man’s aggressive demeanor instantly vanished, and he cringed, saying servilely, "Xiao Fan? Master Xiao Fan! Dog Fang greets Master Xiao Fan!"
"You’re quite something, bullying others with your position. What’s this, coercion? Planning to hold it over people’s heads if they disagree?"
Xiao Fan sneered mockingly.
"No, no, no! I wouldn’t dare! I wouldn’t dare!"
Cold sweat instantly dripped from Dog Fang’s face as he quickly denied it!
"Haha, you wouldn’t? I just heard it with my own ears. What you’re doing is shameless!"
Xiao Fan turned to Bai Shan and said, "Bai Shan, in the Bounty Order, post a one Gold Coin bounty on this Dog Fang for abusing his authority. I’ll handle it for you!"
"No! Please, Master Xiao Fan! I admit my mistake! I’ll never do it again!" Dog Fang immediately kneeled, pleading.
"Humph! Get lost!"
Dog Fang scrambled away as fast as he could.
"You? You’re Master Xiao Fan?" Bai Shan exclaimed in delight.
Xiao Fan nodded.
The green snake behind Bai Shan said excitedly, "You are Senior Xiao Fan! One of the top five Bounty Hunters, the Jade Sword Immortal Xiao Fan! You’re my idol, and I dream of working in the Bounty Hunter guild one day!"
Little did they know Xiao Fan had such a big name and many fans.
"I never imagined that Senior Ye Chen and Senior Xiao Fan are friends!" Bai Shan exclaimed with both surprise and joy.
Xiao Fan patted Bai Shan’s shoulder, smiling, "Alright, improving your strength should be your first priority. Only with great strength can you avoid being bullied. When you reach LV45, I’ll have someone recruit you into the Bounty Hunters!"
