Nie Hao's feelings and experiences caused Ji Tianxing to empathize with him.
His father, Ji Changkong, was also plagued by internal injuries and probably wouldn't live for long, so he was extremely worried about his father's injuries as well.
Imperceptibly, the distance between him and Nie Hao was pulled closer.
The two of them chatted for a while, and it was already 3: 45 p.m.
After a while, the Treasure Heaven Pavilion's auction would begin.
Nie Hao stood up and bid his farewells, intending to leave the inn and rush to the Treasure Heaven Pavilion, and he invited Ji Tianxing and Ji Ke to go with him.
Ji Ke really wanted to experience this grand event, and Ji Tianxing didn't want to dampen her spirits, so he nodded in agreement.
The three of them left the inn and rode a carriage to rush to the Treasure Heaven Pavilion in the city.
The Treasure Heaven Pavilion was located on the most bustling street in the city, and it occupied an extremely vast area. The few palaces and tall buildings were constructed with a grand and magnificent aura.
When the three of them arrived at the Treasure Heaven Pavilion, the outside of the pavilion was already packed with people, and it was bustling and clamorous.
Merchants and martial artists from the surrounding countries, and numerous influential officials with extraordinary statuses entered the Treasure Heaven Pavilion's entrance in an endless stream.
Ji Tianxing's group of three followed the crowd into the Treasure Heaven Pavilion, and they entered the auction venue after a short moment.
The venue was an extremely spacious hall, and there was a circular high platform at the center area. It was the auction platform, and there were a few thousand seats in the surroundings.
Besides this, there were over 100 exquisite private rooms on the second floor of the hall, and those were rooms that only wealthy and influential officials had the qualifications to sit in.
Ji Tianxing and Ji Ke only came to join in the fun and broaden their horizons, so they casually found two seats in the hall and sat down.
Nie Hao traveled with the two of them, so he naturally sat close to the two of them, and he sat beside Ji Tianxing.
Nie Hao smiled lightly and reminded Ji Tianxing before the auction began.
"Brother Ji, many rare treasures will surely appear in the auction later. If you see a treasure that interests you, there's no harm in bidding for it."
"The rules of the Treasure Heaven Pavilion are that only gold and silver can be used. The silver notes of the surrounding countries can be used, but it can't be used as collateral …"
It was obviously not the first time Nie Hao had come to the Treasure Heaven Pavilion, and he was extremely familiar with the various matters of the auction.
After hearing his explanation, Ji Tianxing and Ji Ke had an idea in their hearts.
It didn't take long for the two thousand seats in the hall to be filled.
The time of the auction had arrived, and the auction had officially begun.
An enchanting woman in a red dress walked up to the auction stage in the middle of the hall.
This woman was about thirty years old. She was at her most mature, seductive, and feminine age.
Her face was beautiful, and her figure was very hot. Her low-collared fiery red dress revealed a towering snow-white breast, which was very eye-catching.
Ji Tianxing only took two glances at her before he felt a pinch on his waist.
His expression changed slightly as he turned to look at Ji Ke beside him. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Ke Ke, you …"
"Hmph! Big Brother Tianxing, you're not allowed to look! "Ji Ke pouted angrily, looking adorable.
Ji Tianxing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and he hurriedly explained. "Cough, cough … Ke Ke, don't think too much. I just feel that the Treasure Heaven Pavilion's business methods aren't bad. Sending out such an enchanting woman to be an auctioneer will surely make a killing tonight."
Nie Hao smiled lightly and nodded. "Brother Ji is right. This woman is called Wild Rose, and she's one of the most renowned auctioneers in the Treasure Heaven Pavilion."
"Not only is she charming and enchanting, she's extremely skilled in stirring up the hearts of others. She frequently makes those influential and wealthy merchants that harbor ill intentions throw away money recklessly and compete for wealth here."
Ji Tianxing nodded to indicate his understanding, and he didn't say anything further.
Meanwhile, Wild Rose smiled charmingly and bowed to the guests, and then she used her clear and melodious voice to welcome the arrival of everyone and introduce the auction tonight.
Not only was her voice pleasant and enchanting, but she was also full of witty words. A few sentences caused the atmosphere in the hall to become lively, and it caused the blood of countless people to boil and be filled with anticipation.
In next to no time, the auction officially began.
The first treasure was sent up to the auction stage by two guards, and Wild Rose opened the sandalwood box and withdrew a treasured sword with a brown sheath from the box.
She had a light smile as she introduced. "The first treasure of tonight's auction is a top-grade Profound Artifact treasured sword called Windshadow Sword."
"This treasured sword was personally forged by the Windhaven Kingdom's Weapons Forging Grandmaster, Ou Yu, and it fused with a piece of Windlightning True Gold, causing this sword to possess wind attribute spirit energy and possess extraordinary might."
"Starting the auction for the Windshadow Sword now. The starting price is 5,000,000, and every increment must not be less than 100,000!"
"Sword Dao experts, a treasured sword befits a hero. What are all of you still waiting for?"
Wild Rose clearly explained the origins and effects of the Windshadow Sword in a few sentences, and she did her best to incite the emotions of everyone, praising this sword to the skies.
Ji Tianxing was born into a family of weapons forgers, and he had his own knowledge and views towards this treasured sword.
Every martial artist had their own innate attribute, and absorbing the spirit energy of heaven and earth to transform into True Essence was also a corresponding attribute.
However, the majority of martial artists' attributes were one of the five elements.
For example, Ji Tianxing's innate attribute was metal, and his metal attribute spirit energy was sharp and fierce. Therefore, his talent in sword dao was extremely high.
Other than the five elements, there were also wind, thunder, rain, fog, and other special forces in heaven and earth. These were almost impossible for human martial artists to possess.
Therefore, weapons and equipment that contained these special forces were usually priceless and extremely expensive.
"Although this Windshadow Sword is not bad, I already have the Black Dragon Sword. No Profound Artifact or treasured sword can compare to the Black Dragon Sword …"
Ji Tianxing murmured in his heart, but he did not have any thoughts of bidding.
Ji Ke and Nie Hao were also not interested in this treasured sword.
Many martial artists and dignitaries in the hall were extremely interested in the Windshadow Sword, and they all began to bid.
In just a few short minutes, the Windshadow Sword was won by a sword dao expert for a sky-high price of more than 7,000,000 taels of silver.
Following this, Wild Rose took out the second treasure and began the auction.
This time, three supreme-grade black level elixirs were auctioned. They were also made by a master alchemist and had the effect of increasing one's skills and cultivation.
Everyone bid one after another. In the end, these three elixirs were won by a dignitary for a high price of 3,000,000 taels of silver.
The auction continued. The third, fourth, and fifth treasures appeared one after another.
Most of these treasures were elixirs, weapons and equipment, formations, and so on. Occasionally, there were some unique treasures that were also related to martial artists' cultivation.
Every treasure would be auctioned off by everyone, and in the end, it was won at an extremely high price.
Ji Tianxing and the other two watched silently and did not bid.
It was not until the seventh treasure appeared on the stage that Ji Tianxing's interest was piqued. He carefully observed the treasure.
It was an Ice Dragon Armor, which was also a supreme-grade Profound Artifact. It was said that it was forged from the scales of an Ice Dragon and the silk of a Heavenly Silkworm.
This armor looked like a translucent thin shirt. It would be very light when worn, as if it was weightless.
However, it was impervious to fire and water, and would not decay for thousands of years. Weapons below supreme-grade Profound Artifacts would not be able to break through the defense of this armor.
Without a doubt, this Ice Dragon Armor was a treasure that martial artists yearned for. Wearing it could save one's life at a critical moment!
