"Greetings, heroes and warriors. I am Xiao Fei, the auctioneer of this auction. Welcome to the Martial World's Spring Festival Auction!" Xiao Fei's voice was very pleasant to the ears, but Xiao Chen found it a bit awkward. It felt as if it was not her real voice!
Her voice was pleasant to the ears, but it felt fake.
As soon as Xiao Fei's voice fell, the audience burst into a warm applause. Obviously, everyone present was Xiao Fei's fan.
"Our Lunar New Year Auction has been held five times, and this year is the sixth. Every year, a mysterious item will appear, and this year is no exception. Why don't you all make a guess as to what it will be?" Xiao Fei deliberately kept everyone in suspense. She smiled and said, "Alright, let's cut to the chase. The auction officially begins now!"
Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Fei and his heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the mysterious item was the Five Poisons Secret Manual that he had taken out before? Thinking about the middle-aged man's expression at that time, it should be the case.
Although he regretted it, there was nothing he could do about it. If he had known that the secret manual was so mysterious, he would not have taken it out. If someone wanted to investigate the origin of the secret manual, they would probably investigate him. That would be asking for trouble.
"The first auction item is a Heavenly Raven Ginseng!" As soon as Xiao Fei's voice fell, a staff member presented a box. The box was opened and the item inside was shown to the cultivators present. Then, Xiao Fei continued, "Everyone knows what Heavenly Raven Ginseng is. It is one of the main ingredients used to concoct Body Tempering Potions for Martial Masters. It is priceless and very rare!"
The first item of the auction was a rare treasure. It immediately attracted the cultivators present. Of course, only some martial cultivators were interested in it. Demonic cultivators were not interested in it because they did not need to temper their bodies.
"The starting price of this Heavenly Raven Ginseng is 10 million. Each increment must be no less than 1 million. Alright, let the auction begin!" Xiao Fei said.
"15 million!" As soon as Xiao Fei's voice fell, another voice sounded. However, it did not increase the price by 1 million or 1 million. Instead, it directly increased by 5 million!
It was obvious that this person was rich and was determined to get this Heavenly Raven Ginseng. Otherwise, he would not be so heroic.
However, he wasn't the only heroic cultivator here. As soon as this cultivator finished speaking, another voice rang out: "I bid 20 million!"
Xiao Chen felt that the voice was somewhat familiar. Looking towards the source of the voice, he realized that it was actually the arrogant young master of Embroidered Clothes Sect that he had met on the road. It seemed that not only was this person arrogant, but he was also very wealthy!
"Is Embroidered Clothes Sect opposing our Steel Leg Hall? You clearly know that this thing is very important for us to cultivate our steel legs, yet you want to snatch it from us? "The first person who made a bid suddenly stood up. He was a bearded man, and his voice was very angry.
"Ha, what a joke. Naturally, the highest bidder wins the auction. You can't afford it, yet you're complaining here. Aren't you ashamed?" The arrogant childe sneered disdainfully.
"Hmph, 30 million!" The bearded man didn't say much and directly quoted the price.
"40 million," Young Master Arrogant said coolly.
The first auction item had almost become a tool for these two people to fight. Naturally, no other sects and cultivators would participate in the bidding. First, the price was too high, so it was not worth it. Second, they didn't want to offend Embroidered Clothes Sect and Steel Leg Hall because of such a small matter. Both of them were big sects!
"50 million!" The bearded man slammed the table in front of him and shouted.
Young Master Arrogant wanted to continue speaking, but he was pulled by someone next to him. Obviously, it was his fellow sect member. He felt that it was not worth it to increase the price, so he stopped him. Young Master Arrogant didn't dare to disobey this person. He said unwillingly, "Hmph, so what if I give it to you? I spent 50 million to buy this Heavenly Raven Ginseng, and this thing is only worth 30 million. What a fool! "
"If you can't afford it, just say it. Don't say that the grapes are sour when you can't eat them. Is it fun?" The bearded man looked at Young Master Arrogant with disdain.
At this time, a staff member brought a card reader and asked the bearded man to swipe his card. The auction house was also afraid of people who didn't pay after winning the auction. This way, they could prevent people from calling out random bids.
Even if he wanted to raise the price, he would have to pay the bill if he lost the bid. After all, the auction house charged a 20% commission. Therefore, he had to think carefully before making a decision.
Xiao Fei didn't seem to be affected by the tense atmosphere between the two sects. When the bearded man swiped his card, she still used her charming voice to say, "The first auction item has given us a good start. Thank you, brother from Steel Leg Hall!"
When the bearded man heard this, he felt as if his bones were going soft. His eyes instantly turned into the shape of a heart. Originally, he was a little distressed about spending 50 million to buy the Heavenly Raven Ginseng, but now he felt that it was all worth it!
No matter how much money he had to spend, it was all worth it if he could get a compliment from a beauty and some attention.
"Haha, supporting Xiao Fei is our principle!" The bearded man glanced at Young Master Arrogant proudly.
"Motherf * cker!" Young Master Arrogant was so angry that he cursed. If he knew that Xiao Fei would pay attention to him, he would get her even if he had to spend 60 million! After all, there was no man in this auction who didn't want to fall under her skirt.
Moreover, he could guarantee that although everyone was here to participate in the auction, it had become a custom to visit Xiao Fei every year.
Xiao Chen frowned slightly. This Xiao Fei really knew how to confuse people. With just a few words, she got a loyal supporter of the auction house. These men!
However, Xiao Chen sighed. He suddenly thought of himself. Wasn't he also a die-hard fan of Shen Jingxuan? Sigh, who hasn't been young before?
If the bearded man and Young Master Arrogant knew that Xiao Chen used such an old-fashioned tone to evaluate them, would they die of anger?
"The second auction item is a Thousand Miles Talisman." Xiao Fei waved her lotus-like arms gently in the air, drawing a beautiful arc. Her whole body seemed to be dancing. Coupled with her coquettish voice, it made people's hearts beat faster!
Even Xiao Chen couldn't help but have a slight reaction. Of course, it was purely a reaction of lust. He had to admit that Xiao Fei had already reached the acme of perfection in manipulating men's hearts.
Following Xiao Fei's movements, another staff member carried a wooden box onto the stage. Then, she took out the item from the wooden box and displayed it.
"Everyone knows about the Thousand Miles Talisman. This is a talisman refined by a talisman master. After using it, one can teleport thousands of miles away in an instant. It's a rare treasure for escaping or pursuing enemies!" Xiao Fei opened her right hand and pointed at the Thousand Miles Talisman. She glanced sideways and explained the function of the item. Her every movement was full of temptation.
Especially when she turned her body sideways, her beautiful curves were revealed to everyone. Coupled with the spotlights, the waves of her chest made people's imaginations run wild.
Although most of the men below the stage were head over heels for her, they couldn't help but be shocked when they heard the name of the Thousand Miles Talisman!
Martial cultivators were mighty figures from ancient times. Nowadays, whether it was the internal or external martial arts world, they no longer existed. Even if some Taoist temples still retained some of their legacies, they could only make simple talismans.
For example, fire talismans, water talismans, etc., could be used to light a fire or light a cigarette. However, it was impossible to achieve more profound functions! Therefore, such ancient talismans were rare.
In particular, talismans with very powerful functions were rare treasures! It should be known that once this item was bought, it could allow one to teleport thousands of miles away in an instant. If someone was chasing after them, it would definitely be a great escape weapon.
Xiao Chen was also a little shocked and tempted. This was a good item. If he used the Thousand Miles Talisman after the auction, wouldn't he be able to escape in an instant?
However, he couldn't do it. If he ran away, what would happen to Xia Xibin, Song Huawu, and Wang Chake? Moreover, this thing might not be cheap. It would be a waste if he used it for such a trivial matter.
Sure enough, Xiao Fei soon confirmed Xiao Chen's thoughts. "Everyone knows the function of the Thousand Miles Talisman. The starting price is 30 million, and each increment must be no less than 10 million!"
It was indeed a high price. It was three times higher than the valuable Heavenly Crow Ginseng. Xiao Chen directly gave up competing after hearing it.
"I bid 40 million!" A voice sounded. It was a masked cultivator. His bid surprised everyone present. However, the auction was for the highest bidder. Why would a small sect or a rogue cultivator buy it?
"50 million!" Another voice sounded. It was a long-faced cultivator without a mask. He didn't say much after bidding. He just quietly looked at the Thousand Miles Talisman in the hands of the staff member.
Xiao Chen was a little surprised when he saw his appearance. The men here basically had their eyes on Xiao Fei, but this person only stared at the Thousand Miles Talisman. He was a strange guy.
"80 million!" A voice sounded, shocking everyone present. Before, the price was increased by 10 million, but when it came to him, he directly increased it by 30 million. He was really rich!
Looking in the direction of the voice, it was a man wearing a black bamboo hat. The hat covered him from head to toe. It was impossible to see his face clearly. Moreover, his voice was neither male nor female. Obviously, he had changed his voice. Even his gender could not be distinguished.
At this price, Xiao Chen gave up the intention of bidding. How could these people from the outer martial arts world be so rich? Where did the money come from?
The long-faced cultivator frowned, but he didn't say much. He directly said, "100 million!"
"150 million!" The black bamboo hat said without hesitation.
The long-faced cultivator was a little shocked this time. What was this person doing?
Could it be that the purpose of this black bamboo hat was the same as his?
