On the 2nd floor, a 40-year-old man appeared wearing fancy clothes. He was Manager Luo of the Hall of Treasures. He arrived with an elder - Master Ye, the Symbol Master of the Hall of Treasures. Master Ye's job was to appraise amulets, inscriptions, or spirit objects that used symbols.
Master Ye's presence will verify all objects related to the Symbol Master.
Yuan Fen and Yi Zan greeted Manager Luo and Master Ye while Ayin introduced the two children to them.
"May I see what items you will sell, young man?" Manager Luo said to Yuan Fen and Yi Zan.
Without hesitation, Yuan Fen showed the three types of talismans he had made, all according to the Techniques taught by Yi Zan. Of the three talismans, there was a healing talisman, a teleportation talisman, and a 50-meter teleportation talisman.
Manager Luo frowned as he saw it was a 2nd-grade talisman made by a 2nd-grade Symbol Master of a Seal Master. However, there was a very strong mental power coming from the three talismans. He carefully passed the two talismans to Mr. Ye, who would verify them.
"Grade 2 talismans with an almost perfect score," said Mr. Ye, surprised by the quality of the Talismans. Even he, as the 4th Seal Symbol Master, could only produce talismans with an Intermediate Venti level."
"Mr. Ye spoke with Manager Luo, confirming that second-grade Talismans were of excellent value and quality. It was rare for a Symbol Master to be able to make talismans of such good quality.
"May I know who your teachers are?" asked Master Ye.
"We are disciples of the Cloud Sword Sect, and I am the grandson of the Sect's Green Peak Master," Yi Zan said.
"Ah, that's fitting," said Teacher Ye, nodding, understanding that they were the disciple and grandson of Green Peak Master, a famous Symbol Master in the Morning Star City Region.
"Ehem... Young lord and lady, Treasure Hall would like to purchase the Talisman you are holding. Of course, at a reasonable price. However, you should know that currently, within our Emerald Hall, an auction of quality items is taking place."
We can include these three types of talismans in the auction if you are interested. We can auction them off, and you will get the highest bid," said Manager Luo.
"However, you need to know that the Treasure Hall will take a 15% fee from all the items we auction," Manager Luo added, glancing anxiously at the two children.
"Oh, can we? I don't think this brother will mind the 15% fee. And I think this is a good opportunity to add to our experience. However, we don't have an invitation to join the auction event. Does entering an auction event like this require an exclusive invitation?" asked Yi Zan.
Manager Luo was secretly overjoyed at successfully negotiating for the Treasure Hall's 15% profit. Normally, sellers often bid only 10%. He quickly took out two tokens and gave them to Yuan Fen and Yi Zan.
"This is Treasure Hall's VIP customer token. By showing this token, you can join the auction anytime and get a 5% discount on our merchandise." Manager Luo explained.
They were guided by Ayin, who faithfully accompanied them. This time, the servant girl would get a big bonus for providing the best service to the seller who registered an almost perfect Talisman value in the Hall of Treasures auction.

A dashing young man stood displaying a sword in the center of the room, arranged like a semi-circular theater. His good looks were even more obvious as he was illuminated by the light from the three rock crystals above the room.
"It turns out that the person leading the auction event is Ruan Ceng," Yi Zan whispered to Yuan Fen.
"And he holds quite a respected position in this Treasure Hall," Yuan Fen said.
With a loud voice, Ruan Ceng stood up and exclaimed, "This is Trenta's supreme Mortal Grade Sword. It is made of pure steel mined from the Liang mountain range in the Northernmost Region's Ice Plains region.
It has even been chanted and equipped with power-enhancing symbols by Seal 5 Symbol Master. The power of this sword will increase the wearer's combat ability by 15%."
"Since this item is good, the auction price is 1000 Demi low-level energy stones or 10 Venti. Each bid must be a multiple of 50 energy stones. The auction begins. Please!" exclaimed Ruan Ceng loudly while the situation in the room became boisterous.
"Increase combat power by 15%. Wow, that's amazing."
"Our sect needs that sword; let me buy it."
"Shut up, you! You think only your sect needs a sword this good. No, I'll take a chance this time." The bidders were boisterous, scrambling to get the sword.
Ultimately, the Trenta-class Mortal Steel Sword went to a man wearing a Doupeng (a straw hat surrounded by a black veil so his face could not be seen). The man bid up to 2700 Demi-grade energy stones. No one else was willing to bid after the price rose to 2700 energy stones. There was an aura of satisfaction on his body.
