Standing at the entrance was a handsome young man about 20 years old. Obviously he didn't have an invitation letter or enough power to back it up, and was stopped at the door.
''Is a mere Bone Refining Cultivator worthy of an Invitation here? Leave now or don't blame us for embarrassing you'' One of the Auction Houses Soul Tempering Guards replied.
The young man grit his teeth and looked at the guard angrily. If eyes could kill, the guard would've long since been murdered. Unfortunately the young man was only a Bone Refining Cultivator and was not the opponent of the Guard.
''Im telling you, the young miss invited me in!'' Even when Dante heard this he was a little curious, the Auction house is run by the Misty Chamber of Commerce with a saint in charge.
Rather than take the route of mainly a family, they took the route of a trading company. Naturally a Saints influence spreads along a huge amount of counties and so does their Chamber of Commerce.
However Dante only knows this due to prior research on his trip. After all he wouldn't of known about the small Saint Trading Group.
But during his research he naturally heard of the young miss of the trading commerce. She is the number one beauty within the nearest hundred counties and already has a cultivation of the core building state at 20.
While this is fairly average among the 'geniuses' that Dante has been in contact with, it is still quite impressive for a small Saint family. As for her specific Physique it hadn't been made public.
But this is just impressive for others. Keep in Mind that even Dantes transportation spiritual tool has been filled with Core Building Cultivators who are barely above the age of 20 or even at the age.
The main reason that Dante was curious was because he saw a bright golden light floating around the man in front of him.
This was something Dante had never seen before. But what was even more strange was that the puppet strings inside his body seemed to want to gravitate towards the power. To absorb and swallow the power for himself.
However just as Dante was planning on keeping an eye on the young man, he heard a commotion once again at the front of the Auction House.
''Who the hell are you to stop the guests that I invited?''
Walking out of the large gate in front of the auction house was a beautiful woman with a slightly round face and perfectly clear face. A cold aura radiated out from her as her long white hair flowed down to her waist.
''Impressive, a Rank 3 Ice Physique'' Dante couldn't help but whisper to himself as he checked her out with his Chaos Eyes.
But he couldn't help but notice the small slither of golden aura surrounding the women. While nowhere near as blinding as the Young mans it was still radiating an unprecedently attractive aura for Dantes Puppet Technique.
''Young Miss!'' The Guards couldn't help but shout as sweat fell down their foreheads.
''Deal with them. You Follow me'' After giving orders to her followers who quickly carried the guards away she called towards the young man at the gate.
Her cold Indifferent face didn't change throughout the whole situation.
Seeing the excitement calm down, Dante headed towards his box within the Auction House. But he didn't forget to keep his Spiritual Energy focusing on the pair walking towards the head room.
The auction quickly started, basic items appeared with occasional useful items.
''Alright now we are moving onto the most anticipated time of this auction! Not only do we have an Ancient Beast Egg for sale but we also have the traditional Slave Auction!.'' The auctioneer declared loudly.
''The first slave for sale is the two ex-guard in front of me. Having served the Misty Chamber Of Commerce for a few years already, their cultivation has already reached the peak of Spirit Tempering!''
''While their Talent isn't perfect with only Rank 7 Physiques their talent lies in their obedience and well trained professionalism. The starting Price is ten Heavenly Notes for Each of them.''
Dante smirked slightly when he saw the guards on sale. Naturally they were the ones who offended the young miss at the gate.
With a swipe of his hand he motioned towards the Beautiful Puppet on the side to bid. While their talent is awful they can be useful for dealing with some small people and it's better than nothing.
But really Dante had a better plan. He needed people to populate the planes in the world seed when he got it. As for the chance he didn't get it? He never thought of it.
''I see ten, do I hear twenty?? Twenty! Do I hear thirty?'' The bidding stopped at Fourty with Dante naturally winning.
However the Slave auction continued. None of the slaves had a talent above Rank 6 with the highest cultivation base being the Core Building Realm. But Dante was pleased nonetheless, as there was a fair mixture of genders among the slaves.
Naturally Dante purchased them all.
''Who's the Rich woman in that box?'' In the head box a woman sat alone on the main sofa, behind her sat an old man and naturally the young man who caused the commotion.
''Forgive this old slave, but I don't know Young Miss Alice'' The elder bowed his head slightly in apology.
''Huh, it's fine. However they must have come for the Ancient Beast Egg.'' Alice shook her head slightly and sighed. After all, they had already spent Hundreds of Heavenly Currency on the slaves.
Even if Alice is the Young Miss of the Chamber of Commerce, unfortunately she can't just claim any items that she wants. Of course she gets the news in advance however the news will naturally attract powerful people from multiple other forces making it difficult for her to monopolise it.
But she wasn't very worried. The Chamber of Commerce's are typically much richer than a general family. After all, the families and sects need to purchase a lot of resources for cultivation.
But this also leads to Chambers of Commerce's being weaker than a force of equal standing to them.
But they are rich after all.
The auction items passed quickly. It is only a County Level auction so the slaves were quite weak. However Dante purchased them all, a total of five thousand slaves all with cultivation of Spirit Tempering or above.
A formidable force for anyone in this area.
