It seemed that what he was talking about was not the precious fangs of the Sixth Rank demon beast from the day after tomorrow, but rather a copper coin.
Chen Feng was, of course, pulling the wool over their eyes, where were there any family elders? They were all fabricated by him.
He said this to make the Xie family believe that he had a powerful family backing him, naturally to prevent the Xie family from robbing him.
This fang was one of the two fangs he had extracted from the Black Blood Snake, one of which he used as a sword, and the other was this one.
This one had never been used, so the venom inside had not been depleted.
He had witnessed the power of the Xie family from the moment he entered. Xie Dongshan, who was only a second-level manager, was already a Fifth Rank expert!
The Xie family must have many powerful experts.
"Indeed, my guess was right. These two have significant backgrounds; they might be direct descendants from a major family, favored by their elders! To casually bestow such precious items to their juniors, it seems they have a great deal of influence. The power of this family must be considerable."
"Such a background is not to be trifled with!"
Xie Dongshan thought to himself.
The disdain in his eyes had vanished without a trace, and he smiled, "May I take a look at the fang?"
Chen Feng waved his hand, "Feel free to look, but be careful not to touch it. The fang still contains some of the Black Blood Snake's venom, and touching it could lead to poisoning."
Xie Dongshan nodded and used a pair of tweezers to pick up the fang and examine it closely.
After a while, he put the fang down and said, "The fang is very well-preserved, almost undamaged, and it was extracted with the root intact."
"This thing is very precious and of great value!"
Chen Feng smiled, "What do you think it's worth?"
Xie Dongshan held up one finger, "At least one hundred medium-grade spirit stones!"
"What? One hundred medium-grade spirit stones!"
Chen Feng remained calm, but Han Yuer let out a gasp of surprise.
She looked at Chen Feng with a complex expression. In her eyes, Chen Feng had become even more mysterious.
This man, not only had he risen like a comet with astonishing strength, but he could always produce all sorts of valuable items.
Previously, it was a rare whip martial technique, and now it was the fang of a powerful demon beast.
How many more cards does he have up his sleeve?
The high price of the fang also made her feel intimidated. She subconsciously touched the sash at her waist, suddenly feeling uncertain and timid about the auction.
Before they came, Han Cong had given her ten medium-grade spirit stones.
Han Cong's life was actually quite frugal, with little extra wealth.
A moment ago, she thought this was a huge sum, but now it seemed like nothing.
A sense of shame and embarrassment welled up inside her.
Seeing her expression, Xie Dongshan misunderstood, thinking she found the price too low. He quickly explained, "Honored guests, this is just my estimate. If there are no surprises, this item will definitely be in high demand and should fetch a higher price."
"Good!" Chen Feng nodded and decided, "We'll entrust this item to you for consignment."
Xie Dongshan beamed, "You won't regret today's decision."
He took out two cards and handed them to Chen Feng and Han Yuer, smiling, "By consigning such a valuable item, you have automatically spent one hundred medium-grade spirit stones in our auction house, qualifying you for Bronze Member status. These are your Bronze Member cards, please keep them safe."
The cards were made of bronze, heavy and well-crafted, with the words "Xie Family Auction House" on one side and the exterior of the auction hall on the other.
Chen Feng played with the card in his hand for a moment and asked, "What's the use of this thing?"
"Holding this card, you can enjoy a 95% discount at all Xie Family auction houses and stores."
Chen Feng nodded slightly. A 95% discount could save a significant amount of money if the items were valuable.
Han Yuer asked, "Since it's a Bronze Card, there must be Silver and Gold Cards as well?"
"Yes," Xie Dongshan smiled, "Spending one thousand medium-grade spirit stones earns you a Silver Card, and ten thousand medium-grade spirit stones earns you a Gold Card."
Han Yuer drew a sharp breath.
Such a substantial source of wealth was beyond her imagination.
A short while later, the two were led to the main auction hall by a beautiful attendant.
The auction had not yet started, but the hall was already filled with several hundred people. The main auction hall was circular, with thousands of seats in concentric circles, and a raised platform in the center where the auctioneer would display the items.
Their entry did not cause much of a stir; many people just glanced at them and turned away, not giving them much attention.
They found their seats according to the numbers on their cards and sat down quietly.
An hour later, the auction officially began.
By then, the auction hall was packed, and everyone was eagerly watching the stage, waiting for the items to be auctioned.
A graceful woman walked up to the stage. She was in her thirties, exuding a mature allure.
