"Honored Guest, please don't be anxious..."
The director of the Auction Hall, a portly and prosperous-looking old man, smiled at Xu Xing's question. "The Gangsha Meridian you've presented, honored Guest, is indeed top-grade. However, who can say if it wasn't acquired through bloodshed and plunder? Our Hundred Treasures Pavilion must also bear a certain risk. After all, the Ten Major Sects are not to be trifled with.
"The Ten Major Sects' offer, though slightly lower than the Black Market, is more secure...
"Since Daoist Chang chose us instead of the Business Associations under the Ten Major Sects, hehe..."
The fat old man picked up his Tea Cup, took a sip of Yunwu Tea, and feigned indifference, sticking to the price and refusing to raise it by even one Spirit Shell.
Although many goods in the Black Market were sold at a premium, most were subject to price suppression, keeping them extremely low.
