Chapter 60 - Chapter 60 Anchang Auction

As long as there is a demand, there will be people to do it. Although there is a certain threshold to enter the security field, there are also some people who provide services like waiters. They charge 20,000 gold coins per trip, which is much better than those low-level mercenaries who just put their heads on their waists.

"You! Tell me about this place."

Ye Yu pointed at the person who came over first, handed him 10,000 gold coins, and asked him to take him for a walk. Facing this underground black market that he had never known before, Ye Yu felt a little strange.

"Okay, sir, just call me Xiao Zhang. Since this is your first time here, let me explain the origin of Anchang to you." Xiao Zhang was overjoyed to receive 10,000 gold coins. He introduced as he walked: "Anchang was originally a high-quality trading market led by the Douling families of the Jiama Empire. It is actually a huge underground city. The closer the stalls are to the center, the stronger their strength is and the higher the value of the items they sell."

"But as the development progresses, it seems that many masters who were hiding in the mountains have also been attracted to come here, and some sects and families from other countries have also joined in. It is said that the underground space of the entire Anchang was reinforced by them with the help of several Dou Zongs from the Northwest Continent."

As he walked towards the center, Ye Yu saw that the value of the goods was indeed increasing. He even saw a person wearing a fourth-grade alchemist robe with a blue beast fire in front of his stall. It seemed that his aura had reached the fifth level, and there were many people surrounding him.

"No matter what you trade here, it will be protected by the forces behind the entire Anchang. Even if the person standing in front of you is selling your family heirloom sword, you cannot do anything. That's why this place has been called Anchang over time." At this point, Xiao Zhang lowered his voice and said, "Some people have even seen Yunlan Sect's skills being sold here."

"Look, sir. The building in the distance is a mercenary guild formed by a group of mercenary groups. They sell intelligence and secondary commissions here. They can also pay to hire others here. And it is guaranteed that those who take the missions are definitely those with the strength of a fighting master or above."

Looking in the direction of Xiao Zhang's finger, there was a strange building as heavy as a sword inserted into the ground, and there was another building next to it.

"In addition to this special mercenary guild, there is also an alchemist gathering in Anchang, which is different from the open gathering of the Holy City of Gama. It is said that there are alchemists gambling every day, and each time they make a move, they will bet on a few bottles of pills or a pill recipe." Xiao Zhang continued, "The surrounding buildings are the properties of some leading families. They have everything that is available outside."

"Who does that tower-like building in the middle belong to? None of those families are in the middle." Ye Yu saw that there was a protruding tower in the middle of these buildings, with a huge luminous pearl inlaid on the top. Even Ye Yu couldn't help but admire the magnificent building. After all, the giant tower supported the underground world like a pillar in the sky.

"The center is the core of the Anchang. It does not belong to a certain family, but will rotate. Every six months, a different force will be responsible for the Anchang affairs. During the rotation, a grand Anchang auction will also be held." Xiao Zhang, who led the way, looked at the tower with envy and said with admiration: "It is said that the size of the auction represents the strength of the rotating family. It is said that a long time ago, there was a huge auction with hundreds of Douling masters and above, which was called the 'Hundred Spirits Grand Meeting'."

"Speaking of which, Your Excellency came at a coincidence today. Today is the day of the rotation and the auction will be held. However, you need at least three million gold coins to enter the auction, so..." Xiao Zhang reminded kindly, looking at Ye Yu carefully, fearing that he would anger the other party with this remark.

Three million... This is more than the total annual income of the Mittel family. Even if the Douling family wants to take it, it will be very difficult. According to Xiao Zhang, the organizer is also a Douling family, but the scale of the auction is even larger than that of the Mittel auction.

Xiao Zhang said as he continued to lead Ye Yu through the market. There were all kinds of elixirs, magic cores, medicinal materials for martial arts, etc. However, Ye Yu, whose attention was attracted by the auction house, only had a cursory look and did not encounter any items that excited him.

But Ye Yu was even more convinced that what Elder Su and Xiao Zhang in front of him knew was just the tip of the iceberg of this underground black market, and there might be more things behind it that were worth digging deeper.

Thanks to the looting of Beast Master and Qing Yu's legacy, plus the high-level magic cores in his hands, Ye Yu's wealth is now enough to rival any major power in the Jia Ma Empire. I wonder how many items on the auction will be better than what he has. But the unknown makes people curious. This auction is obviously larger than he should be, and Ye Yu naturally doesn't want to miss it.

Ye Yu walked straight through many shops and came to the front of a tall tower. The tower was made entirely of black metal, without any decoration and was very simple. Except for the huge luminous pearl inlaid on the top, Ye Yu would only regard it as a pillar, but the heaviness conveyed by the tower body would not let people ignore its existence.

He originally thought that a grand auction would be held here and there would be a lot of people coming and going, but after passing through the complex of buildings guarding the high tower, what came into view was a huge square. People came in through the main gate in the middle, and guards on both sides wearing uniform armor and terrifying ghost masks on their faces kept scanning the people coming and going and were responsible for vigilance.

They were divided into several small teams, and each team member possessed the strength of a fighter. The team leaders, who were wearing even more ferocious ghost masks, were all great fighters. This surprised Ye Yu a little. He had already thought highly of this auction, but he didn't expect that he still underestimated it.

Each of them is a fighting master, and the leader is a great fighting master. Even the Eight Gates of the Fighting Emperor force in the Black Horn Domain cannot come up with such an exaggerated lineup. You have to know that this is not the Black Horn Domain or Zhongzhou, where a great fighting master can support a family, such as the three major families in Wutan City.

Subconsciously he pulled at the black robe covering his body. He was not afraid. On the contrary, he was excited, as if he had found a hidden copy in a game.

"Sir, the auction is ahead. It is said that you can enter after verifying your assets after entering the gate. I won't go in. Look at the remaining money..." Xiao Zhang took a deep look at the auction gate, and finally stopped at the armored guards. He was reluctant to look away for a long time. After seeing Ye Yu's intention to enter, he rubbed his fingers and carefully asked for gold coins.

Ye Yu threw out a card, which was a universal savings card with 30,000 gold coins in it.

Xiao Zhang hurriedly took it, and was shocked when he saw the number. He carefully asked, "Sir, what is this?"

"I see they all brought their followers in with them, so you should be able to go in with me." Ye Yu explained lightly. This Xiao Zhang is still somewhat useful as a guide. It's only 20,000 gold coins anyway, so he just came to renew the contract.
