The entire hall remained silent. Everyone were staring at the auction stage, waiting for Xu Neng to bring out his first auction item.
Xu Neng didn't disappoint the crowd this time. He didn't give a long speech like before. With a flip of his palm, a shining longsword appeared in his hand. When the longsword appeared, it immediately produced a buzzing sound, and it was shining with a cold light.
Many people could tell that it was a high-ranked combat weapon, but it was just an ordinary high-ranked combat weapon. For Divine Core warriors, a high-ranked combat weapon was a precious treasure.
Combat Weapons were extremely precious. Ordinary Early Divine Core warriors would have a hard time finding a High-Ranked Combat Weapon due to their lack of wealth. There were even some Mid Divine Core warriors who didn't have a High-Ranked Combat Weapon. After all, for those ordinary rogue warriors, it was extremely difficult for them to get their hands on cultivation resources and pills. The price of a High-Ranked Combat Weapon was not cheap, and the lowest quality one would cost at least 100-200 Earth Restoration Pills.
Elixir was the lifeblood of all Divine Core warriors. Those rogue warriors didn't even have enough for their cultivation, let alone enough to buy a combat weapon.
"This is a high-ranked combat weapon, the starting price is 1 million Elixir. The bidding begins now."
Xu Neng said. The starting price wasn't too high.
"1 million 100,000."
"1 million 200,000."
… …..
The people downstairs were competing with each other. Some people had gotten some benefits from the trade fair, and they didn't have a high-ranked combat weapon with them, so they wanted to bid for it.
On the other hand, the VIP area on the second floor was extremely quiet. They didn't even want to take a look at a high-ranked combat weapon like this. Everyone knew that the items at the beginning of the auction were just appetizers, and the main event would be the later part.
After all, the Blissful Manor had to consider everyone's feelings. If all the items in the auction were rare and precious treasures, then the people downstairs would just be spectators, and they wouldn't have anything to do with it. Therefore, they decided to put some appetizers at the beginning of the auction, in order to liven up the atmosphere.
In the end, a rogue cultivator from the ocean bought the high-ranked combat weapon for a price of one million and five hundred thousand. An ordinary high-ranked combat weapon was basically the same price. After all, high-ranked combat weapons were divided into different grades. The Axe of Thunder and the Bloodthirsty Sword in Jiang Chen's hands were both top-grade high-ranked combat weapons, and their price was at least a few times higher than the combat weapon in front of them.
The next few treasures didn't have anything special about them. They were all battle skills and martial skills, as well as some ordinary pills. The auction went on for an hour. Not a single person in the VIP area on the second floor made a move. However, the people below were bustling with activity. Cultivators were shouting loudly. It was very lively.
"Alright, the treasures from before were merely appetizers. Next up is the real show. Everyone, please hold your breaths and see what this is."
With a flip of Xu Neng's palm, a crystal-like sphere floated out from his palm and hovered above the auction stage. The moment the sphere appeared, the temperature in the entire auction hall suddenly dropped. Many people could feel a slight chill coming from it.
Everyone's gaze fell onto the sphere. In the center of the sphere, there was an ice silkworm the size of a thumb. The silkworm was transparent, as if it was a real crystal. It stayed inside the crystal ball without moving.
"An Arctic Ice Silkworm that has been crystallized."
Jiang Chen's expression changed slightly. He almost cried out. He never thought that he would see something like this in the auction hall.
"Everyone, please hold your breaths. I believe those who are knowledgeable can tell that inside this crystal ball is a real Arctic Ice Silkworm. Furthermore, this silkworm has been completely crystallized over the years. I believe I don't need to explain the value of this crystal ball to you all. Now, I hereby announce that the starting price of this Arctic Ice Silkworm is fifteen million."
Xu Neng said with a clear and bright voice.
Whoosh!
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire auction hall was in an uproar. Fifteen million was only the starting price. No one could determine the final price of this Arctic Ice Silkworm.
"Little Chenzi, is this Arctic Ice Silkworm really worth that much?"
Han Yan asked.
"The Arctic Ice Silkworm is a rare species that lives in the Far North. Its body contains an endless amount of cold energy. Even if it is wrapped in a crystal ball, the cold energy cannot be completely concealed. In order to crystallize an Arctic Ice Silkworm, not only does it need an extremely cold environment, it also needs a long time. After crystallizing, the Arctic Ice Silkworm is a real treasure. Its body contains the cold energy of the Far North, as well as a rich amount of energy. The starting price of fifteen million is too low. Of course, the price will definitely rise."
Jiang Chen said.
"How do you know everything?"
Han Yan rolled his eyes in a gloomy manner, then said with a puzzled tone, "But this thing is so cold, ordinary cultivators can't even get close to it, let alone absorb it. Who would be willing to pay such a high price for it?"
"You're right, the Crystallized Arctic Ice Silkworm is indeed useless to ordinary cultivators, but to those with cold attribute constitutions and those who practice ice cultivation methods, it is a supreme treasure. If Little Yu can obtain this Crystallized Arctic Ice Silkworm, the benefits to her will be endless, and her Nine Yin Body might even undergo a transformation."
Jiang Chen's eyes lit up. Although he didn't get the Nine Solar Holy Water, this Arctic Ice Silkworm had given him a pleasant surprise. Although it couldn't help Yan Chen Yu wake up, once she did, it would definitely bring her endless benefits.
"How could I forget about Little Yu's physique? Damn it, looks like I'm going to get this Arctic Ice Silkworm today."
Han Yan looked at the Arctic Ice Silkworm, and a strange light was emitting from it.
"Sixteen million."
A deep voice came from another private room on the second floor.
"It's someone from the Shangguan Clan."
Han Yan said.
Jiang Chen's face darkened. He had a conflict with the Qingyi Sect and Myriad Sword Sect, so he didn't want to have any more conflicts with the Shangguan Clan. But unfortunately, the Shangguan Clan was the first one to bid.
"Looks like the Shangguan Clan has someone who practices ice skills, or someone with a cold physique."
Da Huang Dog said.
"Eighteen million."
Another private room made a bid. It was a Combat Soul rogue cultivator from the ocean.
"Hmph! Twenty million. "
The Shangguan Clan's Sect Elder, Shangguan Chong, coldly harrumphed and bid twenty million.
"Twenty-five million."
The warrior from the private room bid again, raising the price by five million, causing the atmosphere to become heated.
"Twenty-five million! A Combat Soul warrior is really rich! I wonder who that guy is, he actually dares to compete with the Shangguan Clan like this!"
"The Shangguan Clan is really rich, they'll definitely get what they want! Although that guy is also a Combat Soul warrior, he really doesn't know what's good for him."
Many people became restless. This was the first precious auction item, and it had already caused a sense of tension in the atmosphere.
"Thirty million."
Shangguan Chong's tone carried a hint of anger. After calling out the price, Shangguan Chong continued, "Friend, please give my Shangguan Clan some face."
Hearing this, Xu Neng, who had a bright smile on his face, immediately turned cold. He immediately said, "Friend from the Shangguan Clan, please pay attention. This auction is a fair competition, you can't interfere with other people's bidding."
In this aspect, the Blissful Manor had to show their strength. Otherwise, with the Myriad Sword Sect and Shangguan Clan, who would still dare to bid for the treasures? If that happened, all the treasures would be taken away by these two superpowers. The Blissful Manor would never allow such a thing to happen.
However, after Shangguan Chong bid thirty million, the Combat Soul warrior didn't bid anymore. It looked like he didn't have any conflict with the Shangguan Clan.
"The Crystallized Arctic Ice Silkworm, the Shangguan Clan has bid thirty million, is there anyone who wants to bid higher? Is there anyone who wants to bid higher? There's only one such treasure, and if you miss it, you'll regret it for the rest of your life. Is there anyone who wants to bid higher?"
Xu Neng asked around, and when he saw that no one wanted to bid anymore, his expression turned ugly. As a qualified auctioneer, he knew that the final price of the Crystallized Arctic Ice Silkworm would reach at least forty million, or even fifty million. But, because of Shangguan Chong's threat, no one dared bid anymore. This made Xu Neng angry.
"Since no one else wants to bid, then I'll announce that the Shangguan Clan bids thirty million …"
"Fifty million."
Before Xu Neng could finish his words, a calm voice came from the third private room on the second floor. Xu Neng was startled for a moment, then a joyful expression emerged on his face.
When the bid of fifty million was announced, the entire auction hall immediately exploded.
"Damn it, who's so crazy? He just raised the price to fifty million, this is insane!"
"He's clearly trying to go against the Shangguan Clan! Shangguan Chong told everyone to give face to the Shangguan Clan, but this guy is just trying to embarrass them!"
"I think it was Chen Jiang who made the bid just now. This guy is just too crazy! He has offended the Qingyi Sect and Myriad Sword Sect, and now he's going to offend the Shangguan Clan! How many lives does this guy have?"
… …
The entire auction hall was in an uproar, especially when the crowd found out that it was the young man named Chen Jiang who made the bid. This young man was simply too good at attracting hatred, he had offended all the superpowers.
"Haha, great! Young master Chen Jiang has bid fifty million! The Crystallized Arctic Ice Silkworm is definitely worth this price! Is there anyone else who wants to bid?
Is there anyone else? "Xu Neng burst into laughter, and his mood instantly became better. He was talking to the people from the Shangguan Clan, so he couldn't help but feel proud of himself.
