Elder Tang was sitting in the room, the Six Great Elders were also present. However, their expressions weren't very good. Elder Tang held the jade slip in his hand as he looked at everyone and said, "Everyone has already seen the contents of the jade slip. What do you think?"
Elder Zhao let out a long sigh and said, "Although we calculated everything, we still missed something. Fortunately, Zhao Hai discovered it in time. It seems like we need to conduct a thorough investigation of the arena. What do you think?"
Elder Tang sighed and said, "In the eyes of those people, the Life and Death Arena is a piece of fatty meat. Everyone wants to take a bite. Hmph, I want them to know that this piece of fatty meat has been poisoned with the Seven-Step Intestine Shattering Powder. If you want to eat it, it won't poison you to death. Investigate, immediately conduct a thorough investigation of the Life and Death Arena. Anyone who wants to swallow our Life and Death Arena, I will teach them a lesson."
Elder Ye said, "Zhao Hai still wants to talk to us about this matter. What do you think? I don't think there's any need for him to come. We already know about this matter, so just let us deal with it. This time, he went to the War Wolf Star for the Star Chart. That kid's heart is big. How can a small place like Cuiwei Mountain accommodate him? Let him do his thing. "
Elder Tang nodded and said, "Alright, let him do his thing. Cuiwei Mountain is indeed small, but I heard that the Star Field is very dangerous. I'm really worried about him."
Elder Ye smiled and said, "Don't worry, Zhao Hai's strength is already there. Don't forget that he fought with a Spirit Condensation Expert some time ago. I think his strength shouldn't be any worse than an ordinary Spirit Condensation Cultivator."
Elder Tang nodded and said, "Alright, then it's settled. Inform Zhao Hai that he doesn't need to come over. Let him do his thing. We'll remember this merit of his." Elder Zhao nodded.
At this time, Zhao Hai was in Star Assembly City. Zhao Hai wasn't surprised that Elder Tang and the others had given him half a year's worth of operating funds at the Life and Death Arena. He knew that Elder Tang and the others would definitely find something for him to do. It was normal for them to do this now.
However, Zhao Hai didn't intervene too much with the life and death arena in Star Gathering City. After making some suggestions, he returned to the Hell King's Ship. For the next few days, Zhao Hai strolled around Star Gathering City in a relaxed manner.
In the past few days, the Life and Death Arena had also arranged several matches. Just as Zhao Hai had expected, the business was very good. The Life and Death Arena took this opportunity to make a lot of money.
After playing around in Star Gathering City for several days, it was finally time for the auction to begin. At this point, the people in Star Gathering City knew about Zhao Hai's identity. Because of this, nobody went to the Hell King's Ship to cause trouble. They knew that Zhao Hai was a ruthless person. If they went there to cause trouble, they would certainly be slaughtered by Zhao Hai.
When the auction began, Zhao Hai led Laura and the others towards the auction house. In the past few days, they had been strolling around Star Gathering City, so they knew where the auction house was. The auction house was located on a bustling street called Star Gathering Street. The entire auction house had 10 floors. As for what it looked like inside, Zhao Hai didn't know. However, from the outside, the auction house was round, like a huge cylinder.
Not just anyone could enter the auction. If you wanted to enter the auction, you had to make a reservation at least five days in advance. Moreover, you had to state your identity and see if you were qualified to enter the auction. Only then would you be able to enter.
Zhao Hai had already registered a few days ago. Moreover, he had the auction house prepare a private room for him. This private room wasn't something that just anyone could have. If your identity wasn't good enough, then it would be impossible to prepare a private room for you. As for whether your identity was good enough, it would depend on your reputation. If you weren't famous, then it would be fine if you had a Great Family's invitation card. Although Zhao Hai had the Life and Death Arena's invitation card, he didn't use it. When he reported his name, the auction house immediately prepared a private room for him.
Zhao Hai led Laura and the others into the private room. The room wasn't small, it was enough for them to sit down. In addition to the sofa, there was also a projector and a button on the coffee table. In addition to this, there was also a huge window facing the door of the private room.
Zhao Hai stood in front of the window and looked up. This auction house was really special. The entire auction house looked like a huge gymnasium. In the middle of the auction house was a patio. On the patio was a platform with an auction table. Around the platform were chairs for people to sit down.
The lower three floors of the auction house were filled with chairs. There weren't any private rooms. Only the upper seven floors had private rooms. It was said that the auction house can accommodate tens of thousands of people. Zhao Hai looked at it and thought that it was possible.
Zhao Hai looked at the side of the private room and saw a small bar behind the sofa. Behind the bar was a wine rack as well as a place for boiling water. It was very well prepared.
Zhao Hai sat on the sofa and looked at the wine rack behind him. He shook his head and waved his hand as he took out two bottles of red wine and said, "Come, let's drink our own wine. Their wine is really tasteless."
Laura and the others nodded and then took out some fruits. At this time, the projector on the coffee table suddenly lit up. Then a projection appeared in the room. This projection showed the situation on the first floor. In the middle of the room was a huge platform. People were constantly coming in and sitting down.
Zhao Hai looked at the projector and smiled faintly, "So this thing is used like this. That's good, we can see what's going on below."
Laura looked at the button and said, "Then this button should be used for bidding? You've thought it through quite thoroughly. "
Lizzy looked at the projection and said, "It seems like there are a lot of people here today. We forgot to ask, besides the star charts, what other treasures are there?"
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "In a big auction like this, there are a lot of treasures. Some Rogue Cultivators or people with status will come to this place to look for treasures. If there's something good, then we'll bid for it." Zhao Hai smiled. Laura and the others nodded. They didn't lack money, so if there's something good, then they would certainly bid for it.
It took about two hours for everyone to enter the venue. After everyone entered, the bell rang, signaling the start of the auction.
A cultivator who looked very old came out of a small door next to the auction stage. He stood on the stage and bowed to the crowd before he said, "Fellow friends, I am Qian Buyao, the Chief Auctioneer of the Assembly of Stars Auction. There are a lot of people who know me, but there are also a lot of people who don't. But it doesn't matter, after today, we will be friends. I ask everyone to sit down, the auction has officially begun."
After saying that, he walked to the auction table and looked at the crowd. "Everyone, our Assembly of Stars Auction is one of the largest auctions in the Void Realm. Every year, many things are auctioned here. The motto of our Assembly of Stars Auction is to sell genuine goods at fair prices. We don't cheat anyone. Please feel free to participate in this auction."
After he said that, he didn't waste any time and directly said, "Now, let's announce the first item of the auction, Thousand Gold Hall's Refining Token. The starting price is 10 thousand jade essences. Each increment must not be less than 1000 jade essences."
Zhao Hai was taken aback when he heard Qian Buyao's words. This was because the Thousand Gold Hall's Crafting Token wasn't something that could be easily obtained. The Thousand Gold Hall was the most famous crafting place in the entire Void Realm. It was said that there was nothing that it couldn't refine. As long as you brought something to them, they would be able to refine it into a magic tool. Moreover, they would be able to completely meet your standards. If they couldn't refine it, they were willing to be punished.
However, this Thousand Gold Hall wouldn't easily accept business. They would only accept a hundred business every month. It might seem like a lot, but these hundred business deals were for the entire Void Realm. Compared to the entire Void Realm, these hundred business deals were pitifully small.
The Refining Token was a token released by Thousand Gold Hall. It was 100 pieces a month. Only those who held the token could help Thousand Gold Hall refine magic tools.
If you sold this Refining Token, it meant that you were qualified to ask Thousand Gold Hall to refine magic tools. It didn't mean that you didn't need to spend money to refine magic tools. In fact, you needed to spend money to refine magic tools. In other words, the starting price of 10 thousand jade essences was just a refining qualification.
To be honest, when Zhao Hai heard about this for the first time, he couldn't help but sigh. This Thousand Gold Hall was really good at making money. Not to mention other things, just the Refining Token alone could bring them a large amount of income every month. In addition to the cost of refining magic tools, the monthly income of Thousand Gold Hall was definitely an astronomical figure.
Although the Thousand Gold Hall seemed to be very shady, all cultivators wanted to get their hands on a Blacksmith Writ. This was especially true for those cultivators who needed to refine high-grade magic tools. They would desperately try to get their hands on a Blacksmith Writ because the Thousand Gold Hall promised that as long as they failed to refine a magic tool, they would be able to refine another magic tool for free until the magic tool was successfully refined.
As everyone knew, there was no 100% success rate in refining magic tools. If you went to Thousand Gold Hall to refine magic tools, it was equivalent to a 100% success rate. Therefore, those cultivators who wanted to refine magic tools would fight to get the Thousand Gold Hall to refine magic tools.
As soon as the Refining Token came out, it immediately caused an uproar among the cultivators below. At this time, a female cultivator came out from the small door that Qian Buyao came out from. This female cultivator was holding a tray in her hand. On this tray was a bronze token that looked simple and elegant.
Qian Buyao looked at the cultivators below and said in a deep voice, "This is the Refining Token. Please rest assured, this is absolutely real. Everyone, please increase the price."
When Zhao Hai heard this, he was stunned. Listening to Qian Buyao's words, this Refining Token was actually fake? How was this possible?
While this person was talking, the cultivators below began to increase the price. Soon, the price of this token was raised to 20 thousand jade essences. In the end, this inconspicuous token was sold for 23 thousand jade essences. It was sold by a fat cultivator. Looking at his happy expression, he obviously thought that the 23 thousand jade essences were worth it.
