Chapter 744: The Power of the Black Card!
Even though the Lingbao Pavilion’s Black Card focuses only on the card itself and not the person, the Lingbao Pavilion naturally has ways to discover the true owner of the Black Card. There are not many people who have the authority to issue Lingbao Pavilion Black Cards.
“Good,” Su Yi nodded in approval.
Upon hearing this, a group of strong individuals from the Lingbao Pavilion secretly became amazed. Could this young man really own this Black Card? If so, it signifies his true identity and background. Once this information gets out, it is likely to shake the entire Central Region!
“May I ask, sir, where did you acquire this Black Card?” Qin San restrained his inner astonishment and asked again.
“The Forest of Demons is a city called Relay City, where there is also a Lingbao Pavilion. I don’t know if it is the same as your Lingbao Pavilion, but it was given by a girl named Blue.”
Su Yi, a young man, didn’t hide anything. He also wondered if the impressive display of Lingbao Pavilion was a case of mistaken identity.
“The Forest of Demons, Lingbao Pavilion, Blue Girl…”
Upon hearing this, Qin San’s expression started to change. His body involuntarily shook, and his gaze fixed on Su Yi. He asked, “May I ask, sir, if this happened over half a year ago?”
“It’s about the same.” Su Yi nodded, calculating the time and realizing it was nearly, but not quite, one year.
“Please, sir, accept our apologies. We have already arranged the best VIP accommodation for you in a private booth, and there will be a separate VIP passage for you to access it.”
Qin San looked at Su Yi, no longer doubting him, and extended his hand as a gesture.
Lingbao Pavilion only accepts cards and doesn’t recognize people. It is certain that the card belongs to an adult.
Qin San was unwavering in his conviction. Based on the intelligence he had gathered, that individual had indeed been in the Dark Forest at the time.
Though he couldn’t comprehend why that person would grant the young man a Black Card, it was not his place to question it.
Now, however, the situation was clear—this young man was the rightful owner of the Black Card, a status that commanded both respect and fear. Offending him was unthinkable.
In Lingbao Pavilion, the holder of a Black Card was the most esteemed VIP.
Su Yi remained somewhat skeptical. Could it be true that Lan Yulian had granted him such a prestigious card?
The Black Card’s significance appeared to surpass even the special invitations extended to the Divine Sword School, Tianxuan Sect, and other notable powers. Its influence was undeniable, evidenced by the deputy shopkeeper of Lingbao Pavilion personally welcoming him.
After a moment’s hesitation, Su Yi decided that whether this was a mistake or not, it was an opportunity he couldn’t ignore. He resolved to attend the auction and see what it had to offer.
Under Qin San’s personal guidance, Su Yi entered the auction hall.
The scene sparked heated discussions. Everyone noticed the unparalleled treatment Lingbao Pavilion was giving to the young man, though no one could discern his background.
Inside the auction, the atmosphere was lively and bustling.
The expansive hall had a circular design, with numerous tiers of tightly packed seating encircling the central stage. The sheer volume of people created a sea of activity, with thousands in attendance.
The venue glittered with bright lights and shimmering pearls, creating a grand spectacle. Those present were no ordinary individuals—they were either powerful in their own right or backed by influential forces.
The seating tiers culminated in an upper level lined with private rooms. These secluded booths offered complete privacy and were reserved for individuals of exceptional status.
A VIP passage led directly to the upper floor, bypassing the crowded hall entirely.
With Qin San and several influential figures leading the way, Su Yi ascended to the top floor of Lingbao Pavilion.
“How did that kid manage to get up there?”
Despite the privacy afforded by the upper-level booths, someone managed to spot Su Yi. It was Liu Xiaohu from the Tianxuan Sect.
The Tianxuan Sect members had just arrived on the top floor when Liu Xiaohu, about to enter his private room, noticed Su Yi being escorted by prominent Lingbao Pavilion figures. They treated him with utmost respect and led him to the most prestigious booth at the center.
Su Yi, meanwhile, caught sight of Liu Xiaohu but dismissed him entirely, continuing on his way.
The private booth was luxuriously furnished with fresh fruits and fine drinks. It offered a commanding view of the auction stage below, with a curtain that allowed those inside to see out while maintaining privacy from outside observers.
Su Yi was satisfied with the accommodations. However, as he glanced down, he noticed the dense crowd but didn’t see Xi Wuqing.
“Can you help me locate a friend I recently met?” Su Yi asked Qin San, referring to Xi Wuqing.
Qin San nodded and immediately instructed a lean middle-aged man to search for the individual.
“Honored guest, as a holder of the Lingbao Pavilion Black Card, you are entitled to numerous privileges. Any auctioned item will incur no service fees, and you may bid freely, even on credit. Payment can be settled at any Lingbao Pavilion branch within a year. If you have additional needs, the pavilion will do its utmost to accommodate them,” Qin San explained.
Hearing this, Su Yi couldn’t help but feel a sense of exhilaration. He hadn’t anticipated that the card he once underestimated held such extraordinary value. Being able to bid without immediate payment was a privilege he hadn’t expected.
“Are there really no drawbacks? What if someone simply refuses to pay?” Su Yi asked, smiling as he considered the possibilities.
Qin San chuckled, thinking Su Yi was joking. “Honored guest, please don’t jest. As a Black Card holder, such actions would be unthinkable.”
After offering his farewells, Qin San left to oversee the auction preparations. A Lingbao Pavilion disciple remained nearby to attend to Su Yi’s needs. Before departing, Qin San mentioned that the other private boxes were occupied by representatives from the Five Sects, Three Schools, the Sacred Mountain, and even the Yutian Palace, among other prominent factions.
Once alone, Su Yi was still reeling from the revelation of the Black Card’s immense prestige.
“Boy, what are you doing here?”
The voice of Xi Wuqing broke Su Yi’s train of thought. Led by the lean middle-aged man, Xi Wuqing entered the private booth.
Along the way, Xi Wuqing had been skeptical. He never imagined that Su Yi could access such an exclusive space.
Now, seeing Su Yi in what appeared to be the most prestigious booth in the entire auction, Xi Wuqing was utterly stunned.
“Goodbye, esteemed gentlemen. Should you need anything, please don’t hesitate to ask,” the Lingbao Pavilion attendant said before departing.
