It was indeed a VIP room. Not only was it big enough, but it was also very comfortable. The cushions were soft and tough, making it very comfortable to sit on.
In addition, there were all kinds of rare fruits, wines, and delicacies on the table. There were also two young and beautiful women serving him.
Chu Mu noticed that the two beauties serving him were actually twin sisters. One of them was as passionate as fire, while the other was as cold as water. The two completely different temperaments formed a sharp contrast.
The twin sisters looked to be in their early twenties, but they were both at the Qi Hai level. If they were in the Eastern Sword Region, they would be considered geniuses and would be heavily nurtured by any forces. Even if they were in the Central Sword Region, such as the Jin Sha County, they would still be considered geniuses. But in the Sacred Wild City, they were more common.
Cultivation was not the main point. The main point was their appearance and figure. Plus, they were twin sisters, which made them even more fanciful.
If Chu Mu liked women, then this pair of sisters would definitely be of the highest quality and could be taken into his harem. However, Chu Mu was enthralled with the way of the sword and didn't intentionally pursue women. In fact, Chu Mu didn't even ask for their names, causing the sisters to be somewhat resentful.
People kept entering the underground auction hall. After about an hour, the hall was full, and the door of the auction hall was closed.
During this period of time, Chu Mu only chatted with the sisters for a while to understand the situation. The sisters automatically told him their names, and vaguely pointed out that they were sent by Su Hao, Sha Su, to serve Chu Mu.
Regarding this, Chu Mu did not know what to say.
The auction began. The auctioneer was a famous person in the Sacred Wild City. He was also an elder of the Sword Hunting Mansion. Chu Mu was surprised to find that the auctioneer was Elder Dong.
"This old man is fortunate enough to be invited to preside over this grand auction …" Elder Dong said with a smile. His voice was not loud, but it spread throughout the entire place and fell clearly into everyone's ears. First, he sighed with emotion, then he brought up the main topic. "There are a total of 1572 treasures in this auction. I hope that everyone will be able to bid for what they want."
"One thousand five hundred and seventy-two treasures …"
"That's a lot. I remember that the auction from more than ten years ago only had one or two hundred treasures."
"This time, the chance to show off my skills has come. If there's a suitable treasure, I'll definitely bid for it."
Not only was the auction a place where one could spend a lot of money, but it was also a chance to increase one's strength in a short period of time.
"I'm sure everyone can't wait any longer. Now, please bring up the first auction item …" As soon as Elder Dong finished speaking, someone immediately brought up the first auction item.
"This inner armor is a King Grade inner armor called the Golden Silkworm Armor. It has a soft texture and is very tough. It is as light as a feather. When you wear it, you will feel as if it has become one with your skin …" Elder Dong introduced the Golden Silkworm Armor in a catchy manner. He also pointed out the various benefits and so on.
Indeed, this Golden Silkworm Armor was a very good inner armor.
There was a difference between inner armor and precious armor. The inner armor was worn close to the body, and one could wear a precious armor on the outside. This way, it was equivalent to double protection.
This Golden Silkworm Armor could absorb thirty percent of the attack. Imagine, if the attack was partially blocked by the precious armor, and then absorbed by the Golden Silkworm Armor, the damage to the swordsman would be limited.
Such an inner armor was enough to protect the swordsman's life.
The starting price was one hundred thousand supreme spiritual stones.
"Two hundred thousand!" Someone immediately raised the paddle in his hand and shouted.
"Two hundred and fifty thousand!"
"Three hundred thousand!"
In the blink of an eye, the price had risen to four hundred thousand supreme spiritual stones.
In the end, the Golden Silkworm Armor was bought for five hundred thousand supreme spiritual stones. This price was slightly higher than the Golden Silkworm Armor.
A King Grade inner armor was suitable for an Origin Realm swordsman. However, not every Origin Realm swordsman could casually take out a few hundred thousand supreme spiritual stones.
When the second auction item was presented, it caused another round of bidding frenzy.
However, the VIPs in the hundred rooms on the second floor did not bid. This was because they were not interested in these items.
Chu Mu adopted a wait-and-see attitude. The Golden Silkworm Armor was indeed good, but for him, it was not enough. What he needed was not this kind of thing.
Therefore, he kept the supreme spiritual stones so that it would be convenient for him to bid on treasures that he liked in the future. This way, he would not be in an awkward situation where he did not have enough spiritual stones.
One after another, the auction items were presented. Dozens of items had already been auctioned off. However, compared to the one thousand five hundred items, this was only a fraction.
Even so, there were still tens of millions of supreme spiritual stones that were auctioned off.
However, it was only the swordsmen on the first floor who participated in the auction. Moreover, this was only a small part of the auction, only about one-fifth of the items.
The auction continued without any rest. It was in full swing.
For swordsmen who had reached the Origin Realm, they would not feel tired even if the auction went on for a few days and nights.
In the blink of an eye, it was already the hundredth item.
"This auction item is a martial technique," Elder Dong said. Everyone was quietly waiting for Elder Dong's next words.
"This is a mid-heaven class martial technique called the Extreme Flame Technique. The Extreme Flame Sword Energy that is cultivated has a terrifying temperature that can burn everything. The starting price is one million and two hundred thousand supreme spiritual stones. Each increment must be no less than fifty thousand," Elder Dong said loudly.
"A mid-heaven class martial technique …" Chu Mu remembered that he also had a mid-heaven class martial technique called the Mixed Yuan Technique in his Space Ring. The sword energy cultivated from the Mixed Yuan Technique was twice as dense as the sword energy from other martial techniques of the same level.
"One million and five hundred thousand!" A swordsman directly added three hundred thousand supreme spiritual stones. It seemed that he was planning to use this method to suppress the others and win the auction.
However, his plan failed.
"Two million!" An even more ruthless bid came.
If he could get a mid-heaven class martial technique with two million, and it was not an ordinary one, it would definitely be worth it.
"It's only two million. Two million and two hundred thousand!"
"Two million and three hundred thousand!"
"Two million and three hundred thousand!"
Gradually, the bidding price did not increase so fiercely.
"Three million. If someone adds more, I'll give up." A swordsman roared.
Three million supreme spiritual stones immediately suppressed a group of swordsmen.
"That's what you said. Three million and five hundred thousand." A chuckle sounded.
"Just three million and you want to get such a top mid-heaven class martial technique. Ridiculous. Four million!" A more ruthless bid appeared.
"Five million!" In the corner, a light voice sounded.
No one increased the price. This price was quite high.
In the end, the Extreme Flame Technique was won by five million supreme spiritual stones.
"It seems that if I auction my Mixed Yuan Technique, I should be able to get five million supreme spiritual stones." Chu Mu secretly said.
If he was short of spiritual stones before, Chu Mu might have taken out the Mixed Yuan Technique to auction, but now, with the supreme spiritual stones, there was no need to sell it for the time being.
So far, hundreds of auction items included swords, armor, cultivation techniques, swordsmanship, movement techniques, secret techniques, and so on. In addition, there were also medicinal pills and spiritual medicines. However, Chu Mu had not made a move yet, and the other distinguished guests had not made a move either.
It was not that they did not want to make a move, but it was not the time yet.
After drinking a glass of water, Elder Dong introduced the new auction item again.
"As long as the person is not completely dead and still has a breath of life, it can save them …" Elder Dong introduced, "The starting price is one million, and each bid must not be less than fifty thousand."
More than a thousand auction items were not ranked according to their value. Only the finale items were the most precious treasures.
The most important thing was that this auction was very mysterious. Even the distinguished guests did not know what important treasures would be auctioned. They could only wait.
The Great Resurrection Pill was won by two million supreme spiritual stones. It was quite expensive, but it could save a person's life at a critical moment. It was worth it.
"Next, we are going to auction …" Elder Dong's face showed a mysterious smile.
The auction item was presented, covered by a red cloth.
Elder Dong grabbed the red cloth and gently pulled it. With a swish, the red cloth fluttered like a flag. Everyone's eyes were attracted to the treasure under the red cloth.
It was an egg.
The egg was the size of a millstone, completely white, and emitted a warm glow that was like jade. Strands of dark gold markings were faintly discernible on the pure white eggshell, causing the egg to seem even more mysterious and profound.
A trace of desolate and magnificent aura was emitted from the egg and spread throughout the hall.
"This is the egg of a mutated wild beast." Elder Dong said as if he had dropped a bomb.
Everyone knew that wild beasts were very powerful, but it was very difficult to tame wild beasts. It was best to start from the egg to ensure the success rate.
Therefore, the price of wild beast eggs had always been high.
The price of a mutated wild beast's egg was even higher. It was at least five times, or even ten times, and it was a mutated wild beast's egg.
"After our verification, this is the egg of a wild Golden Cloud Dragon." Elder Dong said again.
The Barbaric Cloud Dragon and the Barbaric Gold Dragon were even rarer than the Barbaric Tyrannosaurus, but they were also stronger than the Barbaric Tyrannosaurus of the same rank. The Barbaric Cloud Dragon that had fused with the two bloodlines would only be stronger.
The starting price was two million, and the price increased by at least one hundred thousand.
In the end, after an unusually heated auction, the egg of a wild Golden Cloud Dragon was won by a swordsman for eight million supreme spiritual stones.
The auction continued.
"The next auction item is called the Nie Sky Flower." Elder Dong announced, "The Nirvana Flower is unable to raise one's cultivation or heal injuries, but it is incomparably precious. After consuming the Nirvana Flower, one will be able to comprehend the concept of emptiness. If the concept of emptiness reaches perfection, there is a trace of a chance to find an opportunity to break through." If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me.
