That was why when Guan Wan-Shan got on the stage, he announced the start of the auction.
As expected, no matter in the room or in the hall, all the big shots let out a sigh of relief. Their eyes were full of praise.
[Hmm. This auction house is really smart …]
"The first treasure to be auctioned is … the Mysterious Jade Ruyi Scepter!" Guan Wan-Shan waved his hand and a girl in white came up with the Xuan Jade Ruyi in her hands.
"The highest quality Xuan Jade Ruyi. The starting price is eight thousand gold notes. Each bid must be at least one thousand gold notes!"
Guan Wan-Shan's voice was obviously a bit weak.
In an auction of this scale, a piece of Xuan Jade Ruyi was really not a high-grade treasure. Originally, it did not have the qualifications to be selected. However, Feng Zhi-Ling unexpectedly insisted on bidding for it. Guan Wan-Shan didn't know what he meant …
As expected, when the Xuan Jade Ruyi was shown up, the whole hall was silent.
Everyone was resting with their eyes closed. They didn't want to bid at all. They didn't even want to look at it with disdain!
For these people, a piece of Xuan Jade Ruyi was really not a good thing. Apart from the excellent quality of the Body Strengthening Jade, there was nothing else good about it …
These people were all experienced and knowledgeable people. They all had rich resources. How could they be interested in it?
Guan Wan-Shan complained in his mind.
[I have been tricked by Feng Zhi-Ling … He forced me to take out the Xuan Jade Ruyi, and now the first item is going to be unsold …]
[If the first item is unsold, it will be a big joke. Even if the later items become popular, it won't be perfect!]
Luckily, at this moment, a voice shouted, "Eight thousand gold notes! Gold notes! "
It was Zuo Wu-Ji!
Guan Wan-Shan heard it and felt like he had been granted amnesty.
[Finally, someone is willing to take this hot potato?]
As expected, after Zuo Wu-Ji made the bid, he looked around anxiously. He saw that the others didn't make a move, so he was happy.
Little did they know that these people had to save their money for the final battle. How could they be willing to waste it on a small Profound Jade Ruyi? If he spent a large sum of money at this time, he might lose this small sum of money in exchange for the divine pellet. How could he lose a lot for a small sum of money?
Guan Wan-Shan asked three times in a row, but no one increased the price. The gavel fell cleanly and was sold to Zuo Wu-Ji at the starting price!
Although the price was really low, Reverend Guan was not unhappy at all. Instead, he was very grateful to Young Master Zuo. On such an occasion, Young Master Zuo had saved the day. This was a favor!
But he didn't know that Zuo Wuji had obtained the Xuan Jade Ruyi Scepter that he had yearned for day and night. He still felt like he was in a dream.
How could he have gotten it so easily? Surprisingly, ^... no one fought with me? On the other side, Lan Langlang's eyes were wide open! F * ck! That was too easy! What's going on?!
Zuo Wuji got his wish and hugged the Ruyi Jade. He got it so easily, but he didn't feel happy at all.
Instead, he felt disappointed.
He used to think that his clan was awesome, and he thought that he was no weaker than anyone else in this world. But … the precious thing that he had fought so hard for was actually something that those truly powerful cultivators wouldn't even spare a glance at!
Holding the jade Ruyi Scepter in his arms, Zuo Wuji lowered his head deeply.
A feeling of humiliation that was completely different from before arose spontaneously in his heart.
[They can be dismissive … Why can't I?]
[Is strength the only way to reach the top of the world?]
Lan Langlang, on the other hand, was thinking about something else. 'I've always thought that being able to earn a lot of money in this world is already very awesome.' Besides, I thought that a few million was already a lot, but … It seems that … a few million is nothing!
Even … even if you have a net worth of billions or tens of billions … if you don't have the strength of these people here, can you protect that net worth?
…
Ye Xiao was sitting in the box above, calmly looking at the expressions of the two brothers. He couldn't help but sigh.
[Have you finally woken up? Or … have you started to wake up?] Ye Xiao sighed in his heart, [What a pity … It's a bit late. Moreover, the aptitude of these two people was not suitable for cultivation. How can they reach the top of their lives?]
While he was thinking, he heard Guan Wan-Shan's voice from above, "Next up is the second treasure to be auctioned. It is an Ice Crystal Jade Lotus. This Jade Lotus is already 1500 years old. On the petals of the Jade Lotus, there are already red threads. It is only one step away from evolving into a Blood Thread Lotus. It can be said to be a rare spiritual medicine. The starting price of this Ice Crystal Lotus is one hundred thousand taels. Every increase must be at least ten thousand taels. "
Ye Xiao's eyes lit up.
[Ice Crystal Lotus?]
Before he finished speaking, he saw the old man of the Mu Clan raise his board, "One hundred and ten thousand taels."
Although the Ice Crystal Lotus hadn't evolved into a Blood Lotus yet, it was still very useful for cultivating the next generation. The most important effect of the Ice Crystal Lotus was that when it was used on a newborn child, the innate Qi from the mother's womb hadn't dispersed yet. The innate Qi could be kept in the child's body by the Ice Crystal Lotus. The innate Qi could be released gradually during cultivation. It could create a Xiantian master in the shortest time possible. It would be three times faster for the child to enter the Di Grade than other children of the same age.
Another effect of the Ice Crystal Lotus was that if someone could reach the Xiantian Grade before the age of 18, the Ice Crystal Lotus could improve the foundation of the innate body and become a spiritual body.
However, in order to achieve these two effects, there were very strict conditions.
First of all, the innate body of the child had to be suitable for cultivation. Also, the child had to be carefully guarded by a master of the Grade of Tianyuan.
As for the geniuses who could reach the Xiantian Grade before the age of 18 … There might not even be one in 50 years.
Therefore, even though the Mu Clan had made a bid, there were only a few people who wanted to compete with them.
Only the eight noble clans were bidding, while those hidden sects didn't make a move.
Ye Xiao was more enlightened about it.
Since he was reborn, he had always been confused about the division of power in the secular world. At least, he wasn't clear about it.
However, after today's auction, everything was cleared up in front of him.
"I originally thought that these sects wouldn't have a high status in this auction, but now it seems that I was wrong … These sects are actually superior in status."
"With their vision, they actually don't care about ordinary things."
"However, these hidden sects aren't interested in power at all. They are just used to controlling the situation in the dark and then plundering resources to cultivate the supreme Dao … That's why they have influence, but they don't have as much power as I thought. In other words, they don't care about these worldly things at all … "
"However, the noble clans are trying to fight for the things that the sects don't want. This means … the noble clans are much weaker than those super sects. They can't be compared at all …"
"But … the noble clans are clans that have entered the secular world. They need to rely on this secular world to survive. Therefore, they may not be as powerful as those sects, but their influence in the secular world is much higher than those sects. And in terms of power, they are much more powerful …"
"Although this power is not in the eyes of the hidden sects, it has a considerable influence on the general trend of the world … Besides, many people from the noble clans have entered the sects, and many of them have entered the royal court … They are not as powerful as the sects, and they are not as powerful as the royal family. However, they can guarantee that no matter what happens, they will be able to reproduce and live …"
"Even if the situation changes, the royal court is destroyed, and the sects are destroyed, the noble clans can still survive with their unique way of survival. In the secular world, this is the most terrible thing. "
"That's why there is a saying that a royal court of a hundred years is a noble clan of a thousand years."
"The royal family can still exert more influence than the noble clans to some extent. After all, they are the ones who control the entire world in name, but … they have no control over some things that are hidden in the dark … So they have to rely on the noble clans. "
"That is to say, the reason why the eight noble clans exist. The eight noble clans are scattered in the three most powerful kingdoms … This itself is a kind of hidden balance. The balance between the royal family and the noble clans, and the balance between the noble clans also makes the royal family flourish forever. "
"The noble clans and the royal family are a kind of complementary existence. They can't do without one, and they rely on each other. Maybe the royal family can survive without the noble clans, but the noble clans can never survive without the royal family. However, because the noble clans are powerful, the royal family doesn't dare to act rashly. "
"So the royal family has to guard against the noble clans, and at the same time, they have to take advantage of the noble clans …"
"There is a balance point between the three aspects of the relationship, and this balance point is something that must be found. At least, they have to know what to do. "
"This is the kind of relationship."
Ye Xiao frowned and made a conclusion in his heart.
Besides, he firmly believed that his guess was absolutely correct!
It was like a lock that was interlocked.
He held a key in each aspect. But as long as they didn't put all the keys together, nobody could ever open the lock.
However, the crux of the problem was that these people would never put the keys together at the same time.
Because when they put all the keys together, there was bound to be a situation where one of them would lose the value of continuing to exist because of losing the key.
"This is the chance for me to experience the world and settle down when I am still weak."
"I don't need to hold any of the keys, but I have to find a way to make it so that none of the keys can be taken out. I have to make this lock lock forever."
…
Ye Xiao thought about it. The competition for the Ice Crystal Lotus had reached the final stage. Only the Mu Clan was still holding on. The Long Clan, who had just competed with the Mu Clan, had now withdrawn.
The current price had soared to 550,000.
Ye Xiao smiled and shouted, "One million!"
