Douluo Dalu: Start with a Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgement

Chapter 133 Wang Yan Finds the Wrong Person
When Ji Lin heard Wang Yan say that he got the bidding spot with the help of Dai Yuheng, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

If Wang Yan came to him, it might be easier for him to get the bidding spot.

Wang Qiuer also glanced at Ji Lin. She knew Ji Lin's identity: the princess's fiancé. It would be easy for him to get a bidding spot at the auction house.

It’s a pity that Wang Yan didn’t know that Ji Lin had such an identity.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have gone to find Dai Yuheng.

They followed the etiquette lady into a large door. The etiquette lady led the way while introducing: "Dear guests, today's auction is a special auction of soul guides. Because only soul guides below level six will be auctioned, the specifications are relatively low. According to the classification, it can only be considered a level four auction. Our Starlight Auction House has a classification from one to five, with level one being the highest specification. Only level one auctions will be held in the main auction hall. This is Hall 12, which can accommodate two hundred people bidding at the same time. It is specially used for level four auctions."

Entering Auction Hall No. 12, the light suddenly dimmed because there were only wall lamps on the surrounding walls. Everyone who entered the auction hall would receive a beautiful mask.

The decoration in the auction hall has another feeling, simple, elegant, luxurious yet warm. There is a very comfortable feeling just walking in. Two hundred large comfortable chairs are covered in dark blue velvet cloth and surrounded by an arc.

Ji Lin and his group were in the first row, closest to the auction table.

Wang Yan reminded, "Everyone, please wear masks. There may be various problems when participating in an auction at an auction house, so the auction house provides masks to cover the guests' appearance to avoid trouble. The color of the mask is also used to distinguish the level of the guests. It is the same as the color grading of our spirit rings. The lowest is white, and the colors go up in order. The gold color, which is above the red, is the top VIP of this auction house. They usually don't appear in this kind of auction house with scattered seats."

Several people took drinks from the waiter and sat in their seats waiting for the auction to begin.

"Welcome to the Starlight Auction House. Our auction is about to begin. Please take your seats." A beautiful female voice came from all directions, and the auction room fell silent. The wall lamps, which were not very bright to begin with, gradually dimmed, while the lights on the auction table gradually became brighter.

In a corner of the auction hall, a woman in a purple dress slowly walked towards the stage. She looked to be about thirty years old, with a dignified and beautiful appearance, a faint smile on her face, and as she walked, she was graceful and had a slender figure. She was wearing a well-tailored purple dress that perfectly outlined her fully mature body curves.

Xu Sanshi's eyes suddenly straightened, his Adam's apple moved, and he couldn't help but swallow half a mouthful of saliva.

Jiang Nannan next to him gave him a look of disdain.

Xu Sanshi hurriedly pretended to sit up straight, no longer looking at the auctioneer, and looked serious.

Xiaoxiao, who was sitting next to Wang Qiuer, was amused and covered her mouth, not daring to laugh out loud.

Ji Lin also glanced at the auctioneer indifferently, and quickly turned his eyes away. Although her figure was indeed amazing, this level could not seduce Ji Lin, and it was definitely not because Wang Qiuer was staring at him with a dim gaze beside him!
Bei Bei said at this time: "The auctioneers at the Starlight Auction House are also divided into levels, just like the masks on our faces. Looking at the purple dress of this auctioneer, he is obviously a purple-level auctioneer. I really want to meet the gold-level auctioneer of the Starlight Auction House."

Ji Lin gave Bei Bei a strange look. He had actually seen a gold-level auctioneer before. He remembered that his future wife, Princess Jiujiu, was the gold-level auctioneer of the Starlight Auction House!
At this time, the purple-dressed auctioneer on the stage had walked behind the auction table with a smile on her face. The soft female voice echoed softly in the auction room No. 12 with the help of the amplified soul guide on the auction table. "Good evening, distinguished guests. I am Qingya, the purple-level auctioneer of Starlight Auction House. I will host this auction today."

After saying that, she walked out from behind the auction case, bowed slightly, and then walked back to the back of the auction case gracefully.

The movements were smooth and flowing, without any trace of affectation, only the confidence and elegance that radiated from the inside out.

Qingya smiled and said, "Today's auction is a special auction for soul guides. All the items are soul guides below level 6. They are suitable for soul masters and soul guides with the cultivation level of Soul King and below. At the same time, in order to make the trip worthwhile for all the distinguished guests, we have one last mysterious gift item for auction. Dear distinguished guests, please don't miss it. Our auction starts now, please ask the staff to present the first item of today."

Two girls in red skirts pushed a small cart onto the auction stage. The cart was covered with a purple cloth. They pushed the cart to the middle and stopped it, then lifted the cloth.

A black soul guide appeared on the cart. This soul guide was rectangular in shape, about a foot long, and had complex patterns engraved on it.

Auctioneer Qingya smiled and said, "Our number one lot is a level three attack soul guide, the soul guide paralysis ray. This soul guide paralysis ray has low requirements for the user, but it is very practical. It is a rare fine product among level three soul guides. The starting price is one thousand gold soul coins, and each bid increase must not be less than fifty gold soul coins. Start now."

As soon as Qing Ya finished speaking, someone immediately raised a sign, "Thirteen hundred gold soul coins."

When the bidding price reached two thousand, there were very few bidders left.

After all, it is just a third-level soul guide, and it is only the first auction item.

"Two thousand five hundred gold soul coins." At this moment, Wang Yan suddenly raised the sign in his hand.

Auctioneer Qingya's eyes lit up, and she smiled at the masked Wang Yan. "VIP number 166 bids 2,500 gold soul coins. Anyone else want to add more?"

The auctioneer earns his income by taking commissions from the auction items. For example, if the cost price of an item is 100 yuan and it is sold for 200 yuan, then the auction house will directly take 10% of the total amount as a fee, and the auctioneer will take 1/1000 of the 100 yuan that exceeds the cost.

Don't underestimate the number of one thousandth. Even for a level 4 auction, it is normal to earn more than 100,000 gold soul coins. As the largest auction house in Xingluo City and even in the entire Xingluo Empire, there are several auctions almost every day. Some high-level auctioneers often only appear once a month and can earn extremely high commissions.

Therefore, when Qingya saw Wang Yan directly raise the price by 500, she was naturally happy. As a purple-level auctioneer, she knew very well that in many cases, the price of the first item would determine the price trend of the entire auction. Although this first item was not very expensive, if the premium was high enough, it would definitely be a good start.
