Chapter 1915 - 1915 Inquiry 1
1915 Inquiry 1
Duan Feng displayed a mild surprise, though it was not too significant. He smiled and nodded in agreement. “That is indeed the case.”
“…”
“Many individuals associated with Haitian have come here for the authority token, and the news has been circulated. The auction for the authority token is about to commence, and the pills won’t be as effective. So, let’s set them aside until after the auction.”
As Duan Feng updated Gu Chaoyan on the situation, he changed the subject.
Curiosity gleaming in his eyes, he looked at Gu Chaoyan and inquired, “Lady Chaoyan, have you developed any new pills?”
While she had indeed refined more Invisibility Pills, she had no intention of revealing them at present.
For one, the Face-Changing Pill had yet to be auctioned, so there was no need to rush. They could wait until the appropriate time to unveil it.
Additionally, Gu Chaoyan believed there was no need to hold back any information from Duan Feng. He was an easygoing and shrewd businessman who carefully weighed the pros and cons.
Thus, Gu Chaoyan decided against mentioning the pills.
Instead, she replied, “Not yet. We are here to discuss the matter of the authority token with you.”
“Oh?” Duan Feng expressed genuine surprise.
Were they also interested in the authority token?
Duan Feng was a perceptive individual and could discern people’s intentions easily. This included Lady Chaoyan and her entourage.
He had investigated them and found no traces of magical power. They were all humans without cultivation, and their expertise lay in alchemy and martial arts.
Duan Feng couldn’t help but express his concern. “Lady Chaoyan, the authority token can only be utilized by those who have reached a certain level of cultivation. Without sufficient magical power, it could lead to disintegration. Are you truly planning to use the authority token?”
Gu Chaoyan was well aware of this fact.
However…
Huang Fu insisted on obtaining the authority token.
Therefore, she had no choice but to proceed.
Gu Chaoyan nodded resolutely. “Yes, we do.”
Duan Feng couldn’t comprehend their need for the authority token.
Yet…
It was not his concern.
He continued, “Since Lady Chaoyan has made up her mind, I can share some undisclosed information.”
“…”
“There are a total of five authority tokens, and we will be keeping one for ourselves. The remaining four will be auctioned off in two separate batches. Two tokens will be auctioned soon, while the other two will be offered at a later time when deemed appropriate.”
“…”
“The authority token holds a unique and irreplaceable status. As a result, there will be numerous contenders vying for it, including yourself. There are a total of eight individuals possessing authority tokens from our Haitian Auction House, and the other seven are highly capable as well. If you wish to participate in the bidding, you will have to contend with them, which might prove quite challenging. Lady Chaoyan, please prepare yourself accordingly.”
“…”
“As for the remaining matters, we can discuss them following the auction. The auction house operates under specific rules, and that is what Duan Feng can facilitate,” Duan Feng conveyed sincerely.
Gu Chaoyan nodded in understanding.
She comprehended the implications behind Duan Feng’s words.
