Other than the Golden Black Devilish Silk, Ling Yun's other motive for participating in the Ye Family's auction was to see how the Ancient Martial Arts Auctions of Huaxia were run. Once he had a rough idea of what was going on, he would be able to organize the Ling Family's auction in a rush. This was his true motive.
As for what the auction items were, Ling Yun actually did not have any expectations. That was because no matter how powerful the Ye Family was, they were still a secular family. Their real power was still in the secular world, not the ancient martial arts world, let alone the cultivation world.
How many surprises could there be in an ancient martial arts auction organized by a secular family?
Moreover, the ancient martial arts auction would only be auctioning some weapons, supplementary pills, rare herbs, low-level talismans, and some more obscure items.
Ling Yun had traveled all over the world in the Cultivation World. What treasure had he not seen? Moreover, it was obvious that the talismans, pills, and even flying swords that he had refined were enough to crush many Transcendent Realm experts.
His Dragon Spirit Pill, Yin Yang Pill, and all sorts of Level 6 talismans. Any one of them would be enough to make everyone in front of him fight over them, including the Transcendent Realm experts.
Just the Level 6 Healing Talisman alone could save a life. As long as its nature-defying effects were displayed, Ling Yun was confident that it would be the opening prize of the Ye Family's auction.
Of course, if there was no need, Ling Yun would not bring his treasures to the Ye Family's auction. Wouldn't that be promoting the Ye Family's auction?
This was because he wanted to organize the Ling Clan's own auction. Even if he wanted to sell the pills and talismans that he made himself, he would definitely wait until his own auction was held to create momentum for the Ling Clan's auction, and then crush the other three parties in the capital.
Therefore, even though Ling Yun was looking forward to a pleasant surprise, he didn't have high expectations. At most, he was hoping to find some rare spiritual herbs, spiritual herbs, Black Iron Copper Essence, or spirit stones. Such materials for alchemy, forging, and setting up formations would be enough for him.
This was because he was one of the four grandmasters of alchemy, blacksmithing, talismans, and formations. In Ling Yun's eyes, finished products were worthless. Only rare materials were useful. Any material that fell into his hands could be sold at a hundred times the price.
However, Ling Yun did not expect that the Ye Family's opening prize, which was useless to others, would be so beneficial to him!
Even if the price was sky-high, he had to buy it!
That was because the Seven-colored Inferno Mountain had too many benefits. That flame was the Five Elemental Fire, which belonged to the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. As long as Ling Yun bought it, swallowed it, and nourished it with the Yin-Yang Qi for a period of time, it would immediately become the Yin-Yang Five Elemental Fire!
The Yin Yang Five Elemental Fire could nourish the five viscera and six bowels, and it could also be used to refine pills and weapons. Moreover, it could also temper the divine sense, refine the divine essence, and finally, it could follow the flow of true energy in the meridians to nourish the acupoints in the body, constantly calcining the Yin and Yang energy, transforming it into astral energy!
The Yin-Yang Five Elemental Fire complemented the Stellar Condensation Technique, the Yin-Yang harmony balance, and the Divine Yang cultivation technique, allowing Ling Yun's cultivation speed to increase by ten to a hundred times!
That was not all. When Ling Yun cultivated the Five Elemental God Slaying Technique in the future, the Yin-Yang Five Elemental Fire would be even more useful to him!
Moreover, the Yin Yang Five Elemental Fire was indestructible. Even if Ling Yun reached the Tribulation Stage, he would still be able to use it!
How heaven-defying was this treasure? It was simply a priceless treasure!
Ling Yun was actually overjoyed. The only thing he was depressed about was the fact that the item he wanted was something that others wanted to buy to save money. That would cause him to spend more money.
That was a waste of money!
That was because Ling Yun had no hope for the next auction item. Even if he bought fifteen kilograms of Golden Black Devilish Silk, he would only save three hundred million yuan. That was a huge loss.
Ling Yun's only hope now was that among the VIPs on the second floor, there wouldn't be anyone who planned to spend more than three billion yuan.
Of course, Ling Yun also hoped that there would be more items that caught his eye in this auction. That way, he would be able to recoup some of his losses.
However, it was obvious that this was just wishful thinking.
That was because the auction had already begun. Five to six minutes had passed, and those who were below the middle stage of the Xiantian Realm had already started bidding on the computers!
The bidding was extremely intense!
At this moment, Ling Yun's divine sense enveloped the three computers. He realized that there were people bidding astronomical prices for the lowest level of healing talismans, a hundred for a bundle. Someone actually bid fifty million yuan!
The effects of the lowest level of healing talismans were far inferior to the Healing Talismans that Ling Yun made when he first started making talismans. Someone actually bid fifty million yuan for one!
"Holy sh * t, if I were to auction off all the talismans above level five in the Universe Ring right now, how much would I be worth?"
Ling Yun was very shocked. At the same time, he felt a little smug. If that was the case, wouldn't he be the richest man in Huaxia after a few auctions?
At the same time, Ling Yun thought about the healing talismans that Xiong Biao used to save his life when he injured the Great Elder of the Heavenly Group. Those were probably the best healing talismans in the Heavenly Group, and their effects couldn't even be compared to the Level Three Healing Talismans that Ling Yun made.
Thinking about this, Ling Yun instantly felt more at ease. It didn't matter if he spent a little bit of money unnecessarily!
On the auction stage, Xia Houming said to everyone, "Everyone, don't worry about being too busy with the items being auctioned on the computer. As you can see, the bidding time for each round of the auction is one hour. There's plenty of time …"
Of course, these words were said to those who were participating in the auction for the first time. He didn't want to affect the opening of the auction.
As expected, many of the regulars laughed when they heard this. It was obvious that they were mocking the newcomers who were desperately bidding.
There was a one hour time limit. Even if you were the highest bidder right now, the item might not necessarily be yours as long as it wasn't even an hour. Someone else could make a bid at the last minute and beat you in an instant.
Therefore, the regulars weren't in a hurry.
Of course, there was a reason why the time limit for the call auction on the computer was limited to one hour. This was because any live auction item, no matter how intense the bidding was, would only last for 20 minutes at most. In this way, all the bidders could wait for the live auction item to be sold, and then bid for the item they wanted on the computer without any delay.
"Cough, cough …" Xia Houming saw that everyone had raised their heads again. He cleared his throat and shouted, "Opening lottery, the base price is one hundred million. Each increment is ten million. The auction begins now! Same old rules, as long as no one makes a higher bid in one minute, this old man will strike the hammer! "
Xia Houming smiled like the Maitreya Buddha, but his eyes were as cunning as a fox's.
As soon as he said that, four large electronic screens rose up on the auction stage. The screens faced four different directions, and the bids on them could be seen by all the bidders.
This was, of course, the power of advanced technology.
"Two hundred million!"
Someone made a bid immediately. It was from the Liu Family in VIP room number two.
The three computers in Ling Yun's room were all switched on. The television was showing a detailed introduction of the Rainbow Mountain of Flames. At the same time, its real-time bid was displayed in an eye-catching position on the right side.
The bids weren't numbers, but were displayed in Chinese. They were nine or even ten digits. A long string of zeros was troublesome for the ancient martial arts experts to read. Similarly, the computer keyboard was also a special keyboard to simplify typing. It was very convenient to increase the bid.
"Three hundred million!"
The bid from the Li Family in VIP room number four jumped directly to three hundred million.
The Li Family is really rich and overbearing …
Ling Yun could only sigh helplessly as he watched the numbers jump twice on the television screen. Two bids and three hundred million. His hopes of getting the Rainbow Mountain of Flames within three hundred million were instantly dashed to smithereens.
However, at this moment, Ling Yun wasn't anxious anymore. Since he was determined to get it, it would be too petty of him to care about money. That thing was priceless in Ling Yun's eyes, and he had to get it no matter the price.
Wasn't it just money?
Ling Yun relaxed his body and leaned back on the sofa. His eyes were fixed on the television as he sent a telepathic message to Xiao Meimei. "Get ready, we'll start the bidding immediately."
The live auction was different from the computer. There was no time limit. As long as no one made a higher bid within one minute, Xia Houming would immediately strike the hammer three times.
Xiao Meimei had the same thought as Ye Xingchen and Qin Dongxue. She hadn't received any instructions from Ling Yun and thought that Ling Yun wasn't interested in the opening auction. She didn't expect to hear Ling Yun's voice and immediately prepared to bid.
"Four hundred million!"
Another person made a bid. It was VIP Room 13.
Ling Yun sighed. At the same time, he immediately used his divine sense to pay attention to VIP Room 13.
"Eh, it's actually an ordinary person …"
Ling Yun was a little surprised. What was an ordinary person doing here?
Of course, Ling Yun also understood that there would be all sorts of people attending such a large-scale auction. Just like Xiao Meimei, it was impossible to guess. In the end, one could only rely on the bidding to buy the items.
An auction was a competition of wealth.
"Six hundred million!"
In VIP Room 4, the Li Family increased the bid again. This time, it jumped by two hundred million!
Ling Yun couldn't sit still. It was too scary. What was the Li Family trying to do? If they wanted to protect their position, they could have come to him.
The Li Family in Beijing had never been interested in the ancient martial arts world. Because of this, their status had gradually declined. Now that the Sun and Chen Families were destroyed, the Liu and Tan Families were eager to rise. The Li Family must have felt the danger.
Obviously, they were prepared to spend a lot of money on this auction. The total amount would not be less than six billion.
In the eyes of the ancient martial arts world's experts, the Mountain of Flames was obviously not worth that much money. With a few hundred million, it was better to wait for the items later on. Therefore, up until now, no one on the first floor had made a bid.
Now that the Li Family had raised the bid to six hundred million, naturally, no one increased the bid.
Everyone on the first floor stared at the electronic screen. Many people exclaimed, but the price changed again amidst the exclamations.
"Seven hundred million!"
The Tan Family in VIP Room 3 finally couldn't take it anymore and made their move.
"Hehe …"
Seeing such a crazy bid, Ling Yun couldn't help but laugh coldly. He thought to himself, The Liu Family and the Tan Family are really going all out for the sake of their families.
F * ck, no matter how much money you make me spend, I'll get it back from you with interest!
It was still the same saying. Losing out? That wasn't Ling Yun's style!
