This series of events caused the atmosphere of the entire auction venue to be a little quiet for a while. The old man with white eyebrows had already returned to his lazy appearance at this time as if nothing had happened before.
"Ahem, the next fellow bids 2.8 million spirit stones for this set of puppet warriors. I wonder if there is anyone who has a higher bid?" The middle-aged man with fair skin saw the incident had calmed down, and he quickly continued to host the auction.
"3 million!" The young man in a green robe in the box glanced coldly at the old man with white eyebrows on the high platform, and he bid again with a gloomy face.
"3.5 million!" The young girl in a purple robe in the opposite box did not show weakness.
Seeing this, Liu Ming couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. He immediately shut up honestly.
If he continued to compete, not only would it be meaningless, but he didn't have enough spirit stones.
"I bid 4 million spirit stones! This set of puppet warriors is mine! "The young man in a green robe sneered and said coldly.
At this time, no one in the entire venue joined in the bidding anymore. They were looking at the two boxes in shock, secretly sighing at the amazing financial resources of the two forces.
"4.5 million!" The young girl in a purple robe still said unhurriedly, ignoring the dirty words of the young man in a green robe.
"5 million!" The young man in a green robe stood up and quoted an astonishing sky-high price. His voice was extremely gloomy.
On the other side, the young girl in a purple robe nodded slightly. She seemed to be thinking about something, then she sneered and gave up bidding.
In the end, this set of puppet warriors was bought by the young man in a green robe at the price of 5 million spirit stones.
After a pause, the middle-aged man with fair skin made a gesture of invitation to the dark-skinned man on the side.
The dark-skinned man nodded slightly. He turned his hand and took out a delicate brocade box. After opening it, there was a small black ring lying in it.
"Those who are knowledgeable among you must have recognized this item. Yes, the next finale item is this Sumeru Ring. The storage space within it was 500 feet wide, and it could be said to be a treasure among storage tools. The base price of the auction is 1 million spirit stones, and each bid increment must be no less than 50,000 spirit stones. "After the middle-aged man with fair skin introduced the auction item, he announced the start of the auction.
As soon as he finished speaking, a wave of whispers instantly arose from below. Obviously, many people coveted this storage ring to the extreme.
Even in the Middle Sky Continent, the storage devices used in the Cultivation World were mainly storage amulets.
Not only was the storage space for storage talismans very small, but they were usually only a few dozen feet in size. Anything slightly larger couldn't be stored inside, and most of the restrictions on them had a time limit.
As for ordinary storage artifacts or spirit artifacts, they were either too large in size, or their space was not as large as storage amulets. Therefore, only a few reputable figures in sects or disciples of large families could possess a storage artifact that had a large storage space and was easy to carry around.
For example, the Sumeru Conch that Liu Ming obtained from the Sea Race was only thirty to forty feet in size. Even so, it was still a treasure that could only be found by luck.
This small Sumeru Ring had a storage space of 500 feet. This was naturally something that ordinary cultivators would want to take for themselves.
However, the high price of one million Spirit Stones had also completely dispelled most people's desire to compete for it.
Liu Ming looked at the exquisite ring on the high platform, and he was also tempted.
During this period, he bought a lot of alchemy materials everywhere, so he often felt that storage amulets were a little inconvenient. He had to spend a lot of time sorting them out, but the ring in front of him was exactly what he needed.
"1.1 million spirit stones!" There were still people with rich financial resources. Soon, someone made the first bid.
"1.2 million!"
"1.25 million!"
"1.3 million!"
…
The people who competed for it gradually became lively. After a while, the price had been raised to a quite high position.
However, these bidders were all the cultivators below. Few VIPs on the second floor bid. In their eyes, this item didn't seem to be a particularly rare item.
"1.8 million spirit stones." The one who bid was the Quanju Building's Master Forge surnamed Zhao.
"1.9 million!" In the box on the second floor, the young scholar of Haoran Academy also joined in.
The two had been bidding against each other for a while.
"2.1 million!" The old man surnamed Zhao's voice sank. The item that he was interested in had been competed with him twice in a row. He was already faintly unhappy.
"Two million two hundred thousand!" The young Confucian scholar sneered.
The old man surnamed Zhao was silent for a while. At this price, the spirit stones on him were already not enough.
"2.25 million!" At this moment, another voice came in.
The old man surnamed Zhao glanced and was slightly surprised. The bidder was Liu Ming in the corner.
"This person has such a strong financial resources. He spent 1.5 million spirit stones to buy spirit essence powder before, and he still has the strength to bid now. Is he a disciple of a big sect or a member of a cultivation family?" The old man surnamed Zhao criticized a few times in his heart, but he still shook his head and withdrew from the bidding.
"2.3 million spirit stones!" The young scholar saw that someone came to intervene, so he looked at Liu Ming coldly and bid again.
"2.35 million!"
"2.4 million!"
"2.5 million!"
When Liu Ming shouted the price of 2.5 million, the middle-aged scholar next to the young scholar reached out to stop him from continuing to bid, and he said faintly,
"It's just a storage ring. There is no need to spend too many spirit stones. If you can help me successfully win over the alchemy master for the Sect this time, I will let Master Tang refine one for you personally. Even if the capacity is not as large, it is enough for you. "
"Thank you, Master's Junior!" The young scholar immediately nodded with joy when he heard this.
In fact, he knew in his heart that it was not worth it to buy a storage ring with this number of spirit stones. He was just a little impulsive just now, and he didn't want to suffer a loss in front of others.
"Since no one is bidding anymore, then this ring will also belong to this man in green robe." With the storage ring sold at this price, the middle-aged man with fair skin was already very satisfied. He looked around and saw that no one was competing for it, then he looked at Liu Ming gently and announced loudly.
After a while, Liu Ming was in a side hall, and he happily handed over the spirit stones. In this way, he only had a million spirit stones on him.
"There should be one more item for the finale, right?" Liu Ming turned his hand and put away the brocade box, then he asked the waiter in green robe.
"Oh … yes, there is one last item." This waiter was just an ordinary Spirit Apostle Stage cultivator. He didn't seem to expect Liu Ming to suddenly ask a question, so he answered in a panic.
Liu Ming nodded, then he left the room and walked to the venue.
Needless to say, the last item in the finale was the real highlight of this auction.
"Could it be that this last treasure is actually …" Recalling the rumors he heard in the market, his heart moved, and he secretly guessed.
…
Finally, it was the last auction. The middle-aged man with fair skin on the high platform suddenly changed his previous smiling face and suddenly became solemn. The dark-skinned middle-aged man next to him also looked solemn.
Even the old man with white eyebrows of the Jin Dan Stage in the middle sat up straight at this moment. He changed his sleepy look, and his expression was extremely dignified.
"The next treasure, which is the last item of this auction, is the real finale item. I believe that everyone present should have heard some rumors before." The middle-aged man with fair skin said and nodded to the dark-skinned middle-aged man nearby.
The dark-skinned man breathed a sigh of relief, took a step forward, and appeared on the high platform. Then he waved his hand forward slowly.
A ray of light flashed, and a small wooden shelf appeared out of thin air on the auction platform. A half-foot-long emerald knife was placed horizontally on it.
The blade of the knife was slightly curved, and its entire body was dark green. It was impossible to tell what material it was made of. The body of the knife was emitting bursts of faint green light, and countless tiny runes would appear on its surface from time to time. The golden hilt of the knife was inlaid with a glistening emerald, and it looked very mysterious.
Even if no one activated it, the emerald green knife still trembled slightly like a dormant beast. It seemed to be full of spirituality.
Under a closer look, there seemed to be traces of red lines constantly penetrating from the wooden shelf below, entangling the emerald green knife layer by layer. However, the next moment, it was cut off by the light emitted by the knife. This cycle kept repeating, but the knife couldn't break free.
"As you can see, the last auction item is the prototype of the magic weapon with thirty-six enchantments, Luo Yu Knife. This item was made by Master Fei of the Thousand Association Chamber of Commerce. He collected countless natural treasures and spent a full five years to refine it. I won't say much else. I believe everyone knows in their heart. "The middle-aged man with fair skin said slowly.
"This is the prototype of a magic weapon. This is the first time I saw it!"
"Such a strong pressure. I just used Divine Thought to sense it, and it was dispersed before I touched it. It really is a superb treasure!"
"If I get it, I'm afraid even a superb spiritual weapon will be broken in half by this knife."
For a time, everyone was talking excitedly, and some people exclaimed in amazement from time to time.
Some people who already knew the inside story in advance couldn't help but be excited when they saw the real object. They couldn't wait to grab it.
"Without further ado, the auction will start now. The base price is four million spirit stones, and each bid increment must be no less than one hundred thousand." The middle-aged man with fair skin glanced around, and he was obviously very satisfied with the reaction of the people at the scene. He immediately announced loudly.
At the same time, he waved his hand and took out a big red gauze to cover the emerald green knife.
This kind of attempt to cover up caused some people's dissatisfaction, but with the name of the Thousand Association Chamber of Commerce, no one really said anything. Instead, it aroused the desire in everyone's heart.
"Four million spirit stones!" An inconspicuous man in a gray robe sitting in the corner immediately bid.
"Four million and five hundred thousand!" Immediately afterward, another person shouted loudly. It was a young man who looked like a casual cultivator. He gritted his teeth as if he was going to bet everything on this.
