Entering the funeral home, it was somewhat eerie and chilling.
In the dead of night, people were still guarding coffins, burning paper, and weeping.
It seemed this funeral home was indeed open for business.
However, did these families of the deceased know that beneath their feet, hundreds of billions, or even trillions, of treasures were being traded every night?
"Two, please present your entry qualifications!"
As the two arrived at the back hall, someone stepped out and blocked their way.
Their expression was indifferent, showing little hospitality.
They were like automatons, and such an attitude only proved the strictness of the rules here.
Ling Feng naturally wouldn't worry about such a trivial matter.
Since Lu Qingyi had brought him here, she must have prepared everything.
As expected, Lu Qingyi directly took out a bank card from her hand.
"Alright."
The other party responded, swiped the bank card on a machine in their hand, and then presented it to Lu Qingyi.
Lu Qingyi entered the query password!
The balance inside directly appeared – a staggering eighty billion!
Upon seeing so much money, the other party's expression didn't change much. They simply nodded casually and stepped aside, "Two distinguished guests, please enter!"
Lu Qingyi didn't bother with any further pleasantries.
Ling Feng also wouldn't engage in much conversation with these people. He would never come to such a bizarre place unless he had a specific need.
Soon, the two passed through the corridor in front, which was rather long.
It looked straight, but Ling Feng knew very well that they were constantly circling and descending.
After descending ten meters, the surrounding sounds and airflow began to change.
Ling Feng's expression turned somewhat icy.
Such places that operated in the shadows naturally had their reasons for existence, but for Ling Feng, this place had no reason to exist.
If it weren't for these underground auctions, the things Ling Feng wanted would be more transparent, and he wouldn't have to expend so much effort to find them here.
Ordinary items, when placed on the black market, would inevitably see a drop in price.
However, truly sought-after goods would fetch even higher prices on this black market, some even dozens of times higher!
For example, the normal price of a "male-female gall" was around twenty billion.
But here, twenty billion was merely the starting bid, which showed how dark this place was.
Lu Qingyi seemed to know what Ling Feng was thinking and spoke to him, "Anyone who can establish such an underground auction must have a very extraordinary background. I had people investigate before, and even many from the Elder Council couldn't interfere. Therefore, it's best not to provoke this place!"
"Are you giving me instructions?" Ling Feng retorted.
Lu Qingyi's heart trembled, and she smiled, shaking her head, "Heh, who can instruct you? With your alliance with Li Tianjiao, even the Elder Council is under your control!"
Ling Feng, however, shook his head, "Don't speak carelessly. The Elder Council is the Elder Council, and my relationship with Li Tianjiao is our relationship."
Lu Qingyi shrugged and didn't continue.
In fact, their voices didn't escape their lips at all; they merely used their formidable strength to transmit their words into each other's ears.
There were eyes and ears everywhere here, and one couldn't speak carelessly.
If the people here knew about the conversation between Ling Feng and Lu Qingyi, Ling Feng's identity would be completely exposed, and they would surely be able to find out.
Soon, an old wooden door in front of them opened.
The lights inside were also somewhat dim. Upon entering, they realized they were merely oil lamps embedded in the walls!
Ling Feng glanced around and frowned slightly.
These weren't just simple oil lamps; they felt more like the eternal lamps found in tombs.
Speaking of which, this place truly resembled a tomb!
Rows of people were seated around a long table, with empty seats still available. Everyone was spaced about a meter apart!
The transaction prices here were vastly higher than those at auctions outside.
However, the so-called VIP treatment here was quite poor; the chairs looked rather old.
But Ling Feng's eyesight was sharp, and he could clearly discern the value of these items.
There were indeed many old items here.
It seemed to have been established for a very long time, and it was precisely because of its deep roots that no one dared to tamper with it.
Indeed, as Lu Qingyi had said, this place was truly difficult to meddle with!
"Please have a seat!"
Someone beside them stepped forward and gestured to the two.
They were assigned seats for Lu Qingyi and Ling Feng, at one end of the long table. That section could only accommodate two people.
Moreover, this position seemed to be the main seat.
This made Lu Qingyi frown slightly, as such a position easily drew attention.
The two rows of people seated beside them could accommodate forty people!
Altogether, it was only about a hundred people.
But it was clear that there were less than thirty people present today.
This kind of place was truly not for just anyone!
Ling Feng, however, was unconcerned and led Lu Qingyi to sit down.
But to their surprise, as soon as they were seated, a voice emerged from the wall.
"Time is up. Tonight, we have esteemed guests. Without further ado, let's move on to the first auction item!"
As the words fell, a masked person dressed in white Hanfu walked out, placing a box on the table.
*Click!*
The box opened, and a faint fluorescence emerged.
At the same time, the temperature in the entire room dropped.
"Profound Ice Iron Ore." Ling Feng's eyes narrowed slightly. It seemed he had underestimated this place; such a treasure was even here.
Ling Feng's pistol was forged from this material, though it also contained other precious materials. However, even this one material alone was extremely valuable.
Most importantly, this material could withstand Ling Feng's Blood Flame power.
This was also why Ling Feng favored this material!
"What? You want the first item?" Lu Qingyi transmitted to Ling Feng.
Ling Feng scanned his surroundings and saw people sitting together, discussing animatedly. The distances between them were generally maintained.
Those who formed groups huddled together, while the rest seemed to have come alone.
He withdrew his gaze and nodded slightly at Lu Qingyi.
Lu Qingyi gasped, "You need to look carefully. No one here introduces the items; it's all up to your own judgment. If this item is truly a treasure, many people will fight for it!"
