Chapter 267: Such a grand ceremony
"Private room?" Chen Yingjie's eyes flashed with gold. "What's the difference between a private room and an ordinary seat?"
The guard glanced at Chen Yingjie, as if to ask, why are you, a poor guy with no points at all, asking about these things?
But thinking that these people came together, he did not bother with him and replied:
"Of course, there is a big difference between ordinary seats and private rooms. Not to mention the comfortable and spacious environment, the unlimited supply of spiritual wine and spiritual fruits is just a token of our hospitality to our distinguished guests. The most important thing is that the distinguished guests in the private rooms have another privilege!"
The guard smiled mysteriously at Xiao Xiaoxiao, whose face was still flushed and looked a little absent-minded, "In short, these 1000 points are absolutely worth it. If your points had not reached the standard, you would not be eligible to enter the private room on the second floor!"
At this time, Lu Fengxian, who was at the end of the line, suddenly spoke up, "Junior Brother Yingjie, I heard that the scenery on the second floor is unique. Why don't we enjoy it together this time?"
Chen Yingjie glanced at Lu Fengxian, then nodded at Xiao Xiaoxiao.
Xiao Xiaoxiao received the signal, nodded slightly, and then said to the guard; "Then please give us a private room!"
Hearing Xiao Xiaoxiao's answer, the guard smiled and deftly moved Xiao Xiaoxiao's jade token against the crystal stand at the entrance.
"Beep!"
The crystal stand made a crisp sound, and the guard took the jade token back and handed it to Xiao Xiaoxiao with both hands.
"Sir, the private room has been opened for you, Room 29. You can go there with your fellow disciples." The guard looked at them and frowned slightly. He said in embarrassment: "Sir, our private room can accommodate up to 5 people. You have one more person..."
Bai Yaoyao raised her head and scanned the crowd. After returning to the Crystal Palace, Jack and Luna went back to their homes first. At this time, there were already three people, including Brother Chen, Xiaoxiao and her. It was Lu Fengxian who suggested forming a team to enter the private room. Lu Bai always followed the lead of his senior brother, so he probably wanted to go together.
In this case, Xue Zhirou, who had followed them all the way back from the Shadow Mist Reef, was left alone.
She and Xue Zhirou were not familiar with each other, and they had been in a hurry on the way back without chatting much. Xue Zhirou, who was originally very outgoing and even a little spoiled, did not talk to anyone except for crying on Chen Yingjie at the beginning. She looked very pitiful in her panic and confusion.
So when it came to asking her to leave her alone, Bai Yaoyao suddenly didn't know how to start.
However, Bai Yaoyao didn't have to worry for long. Xue Zhirou, who had been silent the whole time, took the initiative to speak, "Thank you for bringing me back. I will repay you for saving my life one day. I have to go back to Xuantian Sect first, so I won't go with you."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Chen Yingjie hesitantly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she said nothing.
She walked straight to the front, handed her jade token to the guard, and after verifying her identity, she walked into the Treasure Pavilion without looking back.
This boldness made Bai Yaoyao and Chen Yingjie look at her with a higher regard.
The other people passed the guards' inspection one after another, and then, led by a mermaid wearing a low-cut tube top, entered the interior of the Treasure Pavilion.
The interior of Jubao Pavilion is truly magnificent.
At this time, Jubao Pavilion had been arranged into a semi-arc-shaped venue, supported by eight mermaid statues of various shapes on all sides. The statues had their heads down and their tails up. The gorgeous fish tails slowly unfolded like an unfolded folding fan, connected to each other and tightly supporting the towering dome of Jubao Pavilion.
At least thousands of luminous pearls hung from the dome, illuminating the entire Treasure Pavilion. The surrounding walls were painted dark blue, and various sea beasts commonly seen in mirage seas were swimming in them. It was unknown what was inlaid in the walls, but they were all bright and sparkling, and with the waves of the water, the various mirage sea beasts carved on the walls came alive, as if they were about to jump from the wall and swim to the crowd.
In the center of the venue is an auction platform paved entirely with jade, on which are set up exquisite exhibition stands and a huge water curtain.
Shell-shaped chairs are arranged in an orderly manner around the auction table. There is a small water curtain in front of each seat, which projects everything on the auction table clearly to the guests. The seats are separated by seaweed vines woven into a door shape. The angle of the vines can be adjusted freely, which not only ensures the privacy of single guests, but also allows fellow immortals to communicate together.
The place that Bai Yaoyao and others were going to was on the second floor.
There was a row of very exquisite shell private rooms suspended in mid-air. The shells were facing backwards. Looking from the angle, one could vaguely see crystal bead curtains made of transparent crystal hanging from the half-open openings of the shells on the back. The bead curtains swayed gently, with spiritual energy flowing on them. It was pitch black inside. It must have been a special arrangement made to ensure the privacy of the people in the private rooms.
Under the guidance of the mermaid, several people did not walk directly into the venue, but walked to the outer circle, where there were several creatures that looked very similar to flatfish. Several people stood on them under the guidance of the mermaid maid.
“Sir, please place the jade token here.” The mermaid leading the way pointed with her slender jade finger at a tentacle-like thing on the flat fish’s head.
Xiao Xiaoxiao followed his instructions and stepped forward, took out the jade token and handed it forward. After sensing the jade token, the tentacle automatically rolled up and took it over.
A few seconds later, everyone felt a shock all over their bodies, and the flat fish flew into the air with five people, flying straight to a shell private room.
Seeing the surprised expressions of several people, Lu Fengxian smiled slightly and introduced to everyone: "This is a flat-winged fish, one of the few docile creatures in the Mirage Sea. After being tamed by the mermaids, it is used to carry various heavy objects. The owner of this Jubao Pavilion is very creative and has done something to make this flat-winged fish able to identify the jade plaques of immortals. It will be used to attract customers at every auction."
Chen Yingjie and Bai Yaoyao were simply astonished. Compared to the technological world of Blue Star, this world of cultivation also opened their eyes.
"This immortal must have been to our Jubao Pavilion before! He really knows us well!" The mermaid who led the way spoke and smiled, her eyes revealing her charm.
As the winged flatfish under their feet suddenly stopped, everyone realized that they had arrived in front of a private room. The mermaid maid half-lifted the bead curtain at the entrance of the private room and made a gesture to invite people to come in. "We have arrived at private room 29! I hope that all the immortals can get what they want tonight and return with a full load!"
The five people entered the private room one after another, and found that although it looked like a small shell room from the outside, it was actually a different world inside.
The room was very spacious, with a long table inlaid with mother-of-pearl in the center. The table was covered with a layer of delicate silver silk cloth, and on it were snacks and fruits unique to the Mirage Sea.
Surrounding it are five soft chairs woven with soft seaweed. Lying down on them feels like being wrapped in clouds.
After the mermaid guided everyone to their seats, she pressed a button on the wall at the door, and the shell instantly rotated 180 degrees. At the same time, the shell wall that was very solid just now instantly turned into three water curtains. Everyone seemed to be sitting in the clouds, with the auction table and various scenes on the first floor in full view.
Seeing the surprise on Bai Yaoyao and the others' faces, the mermaid quickly explained, "Don't worry, fairies. This water curtain is one-way. It is only to give the distinguished guests a better visual experience. No one from the outside can see inside."
A few people nodded, and then Lu Bai pointed at a group of people who suddenly appeared at the entrance of the venue and asked curiously: "Huh?! Who are they? It's such a big show!"
