Chapter 819: Auction (1)
“Hold it and sit down with your legs crossed,” Xiu said.
Shen Yanxiao followed Xiu’s instructions and sat down. Xiu used his own strength to utilize the integrative power in the Pearl Milkstone.
Shen Yanxiao felt a warm current flow from the Pearl Milkstone into her palms before spreading to every cell in her body.
It was as if she was sitting in a hot spring. Her entire body felt warm and comfortable.
A moment later, the warmth gradually disappeared, and the Pearl Milkstone in her arms became just an ornamental gem.
“How do you feel?” Xiu asked.
“Comfortable.” Shen Yanxiao did not feel any changes in her body but she enjoyed the process thoroughly.
She had consumed all of Pearl Milkstone’s integrative power, but it still looked the same as before. In any case, the auction-goers would not know its real use even if they bought it. Instead of letting other people waste such a good item, there was nothing wrong with her using it.
Shen Yanxiao felt an indescribable sense of comfort. She picked out a box of gems and asked Vermilion Bird to summon someone from Cave Wolves Mercenary Group. She ordered that person to purchase the box of gems she had chosen on the day of the auction.
Shen Yanxiao, who felt that she had profited immensely, left the storeroom in high spirits. There were still five days before the auction, and she still had to make arrangements for the situation in the Forsaken Land.
If it were any other time, Shen Yanxiao would have been too lazy to care about it. However, the people who were going to Sun Never Sets were coming to advertise for her free of charge. She had to guarantee that no accidents would happen during their journey to the Forsaken Land.
Since they were in the eastern region of the Forsaken Land, everyone who were planning to partic.i.p.ate in the auction would enter from the Longxuan Empire’s border. The route from the border to Sun Never Sets was a straight line. To ensure that the auction would continue as per normal, Shen Yanxiao gathered all the advanced-ranked demons in Sun Never Sets and told them to take care of the other demons on both sides of the road.
As the dark elements in Sun Never Sets gradually increased, countless demons had begun to move into the city. However, there were still some demons who had their own territory and were unwilling to move. Shen Yanxiao did not mind it, but if they dared to eat humans on the streets, then she would not be polite to them.
Shen Yanxiao a.s.signed 300 advanced-ranked demons to negotiate with the other demons along the way.
Those demons with territories were led by advanced-ranked demons. As long as they could negotiate with those demons, they would not have to worry about any accidents.
However, it was the first time that Jia He and the rest had done something so civil. In the past, the demons relied on their own strength to conquer and rule. If other demons wanted to seize their territory and cause trouble, they would gather their men to attack them and make them p.i.s.s their pants.
However, Shen Yanxiao had asked them to negotiate with them, and the demons were not used to that.
However, no matter how unaccustomed they were to it, they still had to follow their lord’s orders.
As a result, the advanced-ranked demons in the city began to move out. They brought a few intermediate-ranked demons with them to negotiate with their neighbors.
As for the negotiation process …
Shen Yanxiao did not care how they did it—she just wanted results.
It did not matter if it was through a civil discussion or a b.l.o.o.d.y duel, as long as it was settled, it was fine to her.
Two days before the auction, the advanced-ranked demons finally dealt with their fellow demon neighbours as they waited for the auction to start.
