Chapter 1388
Chapter 1388: Chapter 1390: Bai Xiaosheng_1 Chapter 1388: Chapter 1390: Bai Xiaosheng_1 The so-called back-row tickets are essentially standing tickets.
While there is a small stool to sit on, those who make it to the back row are not likely to be high-ranking officials or wealthy individuals, let alone have the ability to participate in the auction.
Having a place to stand is enough for them.
In simple terms, they’re onlookers and casual bystanders.
Lin Zhen’s spot is located next to the aisle, which is an advantageous position with a good view.
Not only could he clearly see the auction situation on the stage, but he could also observe the VIPs passing by him.
The martial force of this planet is quite impressive, with the most powerful reaching the God Transformation Period.
…
For instance, in the bath Lin Zhen just visited, there was a Divine Transformation guard.
But those who can transform into Gods are quite rare; reaching Longevity or the Three Flowers level is already considered impressive here.
Lin Zhen’s current realm has been disguised as a peak World King.
There is a considerable number of peak World Kings — many of them have yet to breakthrough to the Longevity stage.
This level of power is neither so high that it will draw unwanted attention, nor so low that it will be looked down upon.
“Excuse me, move over a bit.”
Lin Zhen arrives at his seat, a bench for two, where a plump man already sits.

The plump man is not simple either; he’s a Fifth-level Domain King.
However, compared to Lin Zhen’s current Peak World King status, he is notably inferior.
The plump man shifts over a bit to allow Lin Zhen to sit next to him.
As Lin Zhen just sits down, the plump man leans towards him.
Lin Zhen has met numerous people over the years, and he recognizes the type immediately — this plump man is the friendly type.
He has encountered many of them before and waits for the plump man to speak.
“Brother, are you also here for the National Guardian Talisman auction today?”
“Oh, why do you say that?” Lin Zhen really has not paid any attention to the National Guardian Talisman and does not know what it is used for.
Some talismans can be quite useful in the early stages of being a martial artist, but by the later stages, they essentially disappear because no talisman can suppress a super expert.
Even when Lin Zhen was suppressed on Wan Ren Mountain, it was primarily the force of the mountain, not the talisman, that held him.
Given Lin Zhen’s current realm, he’s even more beyond any suppression by a talisman.
“Heh heh, of course!
Who do you think I am?
I am Bai Xiaosheng of the Han Tang Empire.
Nothing happens here that I am not aware of ….”
“The National Guardian Talisman that has appeared can suppress national fortune and protect the Imperial City.
With this talisman, the Imperial City will be an impregnable city.
This great treasure has caused such an uproar.
I dare say that nine out of ten people here today are after the National Guardian Talisman, but those who really qualify to participate in the auction…
I’m afraid there are not many.”
Hearing this, Lin Zhen became slightly interested: “Oh, suppressing national fortune and protecting the Imperial City?”
Lin Zhen had never heard of such a talisman and was eager to see it.
Bai Xiaosheng continued: “When the National Guardian Talisman appeared, the nations of the world went crazy.
Although the auction is being held in Han Tang, other nations have sent people here early, preparing to get their hands on this talisman.
Understand this, it is a competition between nations.
What kind of individual has the ability to participate in the auction?
Even the wealthiest man cannot.”
Lin Zhen nodded slightly in understanding.
If such a talisman exists, then that makes sense.
Bai Xiaosheng shook his head and wagged his finger, “However, I believe that no matter how hard the other nations try, they can’t compete with our Han Tang.
If we’re talking about individual national power, Han Tang is number one in the world.
No other nation can compare.
Moreover, this is our home ground.
How could they possibly compete with us?”
Lin Zhen laughed lightly: “You’re quite certain?”
“Absolutely,” he replied.
“Although the current situation is unstable and warfare is rampant, to my knowledge, the first beauty of our Han Tang Empire, who also happens to be our queen, will be personally participating in the auction.
This shows her determination to win the National Guardian Talisman.”
“The first beauty of Han Tang…”
In Lin Zhen’s mind, he could not help but recall the scene in the bath earlier.
The young woman must have been the queen.
She was indeed beautiful.
“Exactly, the queen is the goddess of our Han Tang citizens.
We will be able to witness her heavenly beauty shortly.”
Bai Xiaosheng stretched his neck to get a better look, awaiting the queen’s appearance.
Lin Zhen fell silent, looking at today’s auction items.
With Lin Zhen’s current breadth of knowledge and experience, he would most likely not be interested in anything here, with the only exception being the one-of-a-kind Sky-Breaking Bamboo.
The Mutated Sky-Breaking Bamboo Gene Potion might be the second most expensive item here, only surpassed by the National Guardian Talisman.
In Lin Zhen’s opinion, the Sky-Breaking Bamboo should be the most expensive.
However, it’s not because the Mutated Plant Life Gene Potion can only be used by those who have reached Level Eight; the requirements are extremely strict.
Those who reach this level generally become sovereigns and have their own Sovereign Domains, and are unlikely to choose this bamboo.
So this bamboo is somewhat pointless.
In reality, those that purchase it typically use it for other purposes and do not consume it as a Life Gene Potion.
“The queen has arrived!”
With a loud announcement from the guards, the queen makes her appearance.
Flanked by her guards and accompanied by her princess, she is brought onto the stage.
There are a few guards, one of whom is in Divine Transformation, which is enough to overpower thousands of soldiers.
The queen wears a gorgeous long dress and exudes an elegant and royal aura as she walks through the crowd with a gentle smile.
Wherever passes, people automatically bow out of respect.
In one hand, she is holding a little girl, who is very cute, glances around inquisitively.
Her eyes are just like her mother’s- cat-like.
Under the gaze of the crowd, the queen gracefully walks to the front row and takes her seat.
In the front row are many other people, all representatives of other nations.
Although they are all technically in a state of war, nobody dares to make trouble here.
This is, after all, the auction house of the Dimensional Universe Corporation.
Since its inception, the Dimensional Universe Corporation has always held a non-partisan position, remaining uninvolved in any national matters while conducting lucrative business.
“Tsk tsk, worthy of being my goddess.
Still so beautiful even after having a child.
Just looking at her from a distance, I feel that the whole world has become better…
Ah!
As long as you are well, it is a sunny day …!”
Bai Xiaosheng was sentimental, which made Lin Zhen feel quite uncomfortable.
However, unlike Bai Xiaosheng’s optimism, according to Lin Zhen’s investigation, Han Tang may indeed be the most powerful nation on this planet.
But it is now at war with several strong nations, and the competitors are not just one.
Would their opponents let them win the National Guardian Talisman that easily?
Lin Zhen had his doubts.
However, this had nothing to do with him.
He just wanted to get the Mutated Sky-Breaking Bamboo and then leave this place.
Soon, the host spoke a few words, then the auction began.
The first item came onstage, which hardly piqued Lin Zhen’s interest.
He started to rest his eyes.
Time passed, and more than an hour had passed in the blink of an eye.
