Chapter 54
After standing for a while outside while people slowly entered the Burning Lotus Auction House, it was finally Su Yang's turn to go inside.
As she approached the door, a beautiful young lady wearing a red cheongsam stopped her and asked: "Sorry, are you selling or buying today?"
"I want to sell some Core Elementary and Profound level Lightning Paint monster cores," he replied as he patted his pocket.
The young lady's eyes widened in astonishment when she saw how she carried so many monster cores in her pocket as if they were candy, she said, made him wonder why he was carrying them like that and how many were in his pocket.
"B-How many monster cores are you trying to sell today?" he asked with a stiff smile.
"I have 36 of them," Su Yang replied in an indifferent voice.
"36 of them?!?!" The young lady almost fell on her butt when she heard the number of monster cores she was carrying. How could he get so many of them? Regardless of their business for over 100 years, even their Burning Lotus Auction House had never sold so many monster cores at once.
"Honorable guests, please wait a moment!" said the young lady in a hasty voice. He then gestured to one of the assistants inside the building to meet him.
"Please bring this distinguished guest to the living room and inform Mrs Wang of her presence. Tell him that he has three dozen Lightning Cat monster cores that we want to sell for him." The young woman whispered directly in the ear of the assistant, who was also a beautiful young woman wearing similar clothes.
Because Madam Wang would only meet guests who had extremely rare and precious items for sale, or when they had a deep background, the assistant instantly became wary of Su Yang's presence.
The assistant glanced at Su Yang's handsome face and blushed. Such a handsome young man, he must be someone with an elevated background.
"Please follow me, distinguished guest," The assistant gracefully called him to enter.
When the other guests saw how the servants of the Burning Lotus Auction House treated Su Yang with great respect, they all intensively looked at him, looking as if they were trying to carve his face in their memories.

After Su Yang entered the building, he was taken to a large room with expensive furniture.
"Honored guest, please wait for a moment while I call Madam Wang," the assistant said before walking away with quick steps.
While the assistant went to call this Madam Wang, Su Yang took out 36 monster cores from his pocket and placed them on a table made of exquisite wood in front of him, everything is orderly and separated by its value and quality.
Monster cores were judged based on the cultivation base of their owner before death. When a savage beast in the Basic Spirit Realm died, it would usually leave behind a foundation-grade monster core, while an Extremely Large Spirit Realm beast would leave behind a deep-level monster core. However, not all beasts dropped monster cores of similar value to their cultivation base, as there was a time when they would leave monster cores of a lower grade than their actual cultivation base.
Monster cores were also rated based on their size, so small monster cores were considered inferior in quality, while larger cores were of superior quality, such as lower basic level monster cores and superior basic level monster cores. There were also higher quality than superior, but they were usually only available from profound beasts above the Heavenly Spirit Realm.
A few minutes after Su Yang finished setting the monster cores, the room door slowly opened, and a very beautiful woman wearing an open black cheongsam entered the room.
Su Yang glanced at the woman who had just entered. She has short black hair with a small red lotus hair accessory in her hair. His eyes were sharp and clear, and his seductive figure was certainly alluring enough to stop the footsteps of every man in the streets who looked at him.
When this beautiful woman saw the number of monster cores placed on the table, her eyes flickered with an excited light. However, when he saw Su Yang and his robe, his brows involuntarily raised themselves, and a flash of excitement flickered in his eyes.
"To be honest, when I heard that someone wanted to sell the Lightning Cat monster cores in our Burning Lotus Auction House, I didn't expect someone to be a mere Outer Court disciple of the famous Blossom Sect," he sat down in front of Su Yang and said to him in a calm voice.
"Many of these Lightning Cats monster cores ... Did you personally kill them, or did you get them from another source?" Madam Wang kept talking as she took one of the monster cores to play with her without giving Su Yang any space in her view.
Seeing Madam Wang's arrogant and disrespectful demeanor, Su Yang smiled and said: "I like doing business with honest people like you, I like doing business with honest people like you, because it makes the transaction much easier and uncomplicated. So, what does the business division within your Burning Lotus Auction House look like? "

Madam Wang's eyes widened in shock as Su Yang directly ignored her question while asking. Who did this brat think was talking to him? Does he know where he is?
"Is this how you talk to your senior?" He looked at her with a frown.
“Don't bother trying to use your status to take advantage of me, surnamed Wang.” Su Yang suddenly leaned forward with a serious expression on his face, his sharp gaze staring straight into Madam Wang's eyes. "If you try to act at your age by looking at me as a junior, then I will also act according to my actual age …"
"… W-Who are you? How dare you speak to me in such a tone! Do you know who I am? I am a Sect Elder of the Burning Lotus—" When Madam Wang, a cultivator at the top of a tree. True Spirit Realm, sensing the overwhelming aura emitted by Su Yang which gave her the feeling that she was in the presence of an experienced senior, her heart skipped a beat.
“Even if you are the Sect Master of my Sect – if you speak to me in an unpleasant tone, I will make you change that tone.” Su Yang roughly cut him off in a calm voice, which sounded more oppressive than loud.
Although Su Yang had the appearance of a young man, mentally he was still older than anyone living in this world. He was a respected existence no matter where he traveled. Even if no one in this world were to realize his majestic existence, he would not allow anyone to disrespect him in such a manner.
"Now let's stop this silliness so we can start doing business, how does it sound?" he said with a smile.
