In fact, the treasure houses of the 52 small cultivation cities in the secular world could accommodate 50,000 people. Although the scale of such an auction house might not be the largest in the cultivation world, it was still very large.
More importantly, the size of the auction house was not enough. It needed to be able to attract enough people.
Take the Cheng family's treasure auction for example. Today was the fifth auction, but every time it started, the entire auction house would be full. This was the attraction.
With this attraction, the Cheng family would definitely make a lot of money from this auction.
Moreover, the top two floors were all private rooms. If one wanted to enter those rooms, it would be as simple as 10,000 low-grade spirit stones.
Therefore, just the entrance fee alone was enough for the Cheng family to make a lot of money from this auction.
Under the auspices of the master of ceremonies, the first auction item was soon started.
"Everyone, welcome to the Cheng family's fifth treasure auction. Everyone present is quite strong. If we only took out ordinary treasures, it would naturally not be able to attract everyone present.
Therefore, I believe that today's treasure auction will not disappoint everyone. Next, let us invite our first treasure onto the stage! "The master of ceremonies said in a loud and passionate voice.
As soon as the master of ceremonies finished speaking, a woman dressed in sexy clothes came up from the backstage with a tray.
Everyone sitting in the auction seats were immediately excited. They were indeed looking forward to today's auction. Especially when they heard the master of ceremonies' confidence, they became even more excited.
Everyone stared closely at the box on the woman's tray. Obviously, the first auction item was inside. They wondered what it would be!
"What do you guys think is inside the box?" City Lord Long asked curiously.
He was also stirred up by the enthusiasm of the crowd and couldn't help but feel a little excited.
"Such a small box, we can basically be sure that it is a pill!" City Lord Hong said.
"I think so too. But I wonder what kind of pill is inside. Could it be an immortal pill?" City Lord Han also guessed curiously.
"It shouldn't be possible. If the Cheng family had an immortal pill, why would they take it out to auction?" City Lord Long said in disbelief.
"What's so strange about that? Isn't there an immortal pill on the resource exchange list? It is not strange for them to take out an immortal pill to auction. "City Lord Han said.
"You believe that? The immortal pills on the resource exchange list are just a gimmick. I don't believe that the Cheng Clan would really exchange them for immortal pills.
Moreover, the amount of contribution points needed to exchange for that Immortal Pill is simply terrifying. It is simply impossible for anyone to gather so many contribution points. This is just to deceive those people and let them see the sincerity of the Cheng Clan! "City Lord Long said.
"Although it is indeed very difficult to use contribution points to exchange for an immortal pill, it does not mean that no one can gather enough contribution points. If someone really does manage to get involved, I'm sure the Cheng Family won't be able to swallow their pride and go back on their word. If that happens, the prestige they've built up over the years will be completely gone, "City Lord Han said.
Now that the Cheng Clan's reputation was so great, even though exchanging the immortal pill might bring about a loss to the Cheng Clan, the Cheng Clan could not afford it. However, in order to maintain the Cheng Family's prestige in everyone's hearts, they would definitely not go back on their word.
"Even if what you said is true, I don't think the Cheng Clan really has that many immortal pills to auction. Moreover, just like you said, if they really plan to exchange immortal pills for others, they will have to keep some for themselves.
If someone comes to exchange immortal pills for immortal pills and they sell them, they will not be able to fulfill their promise! "City Lord Long said with a smile.
City Lord Han nodded and said, "Your idea is not impossible. Let's continue watching. I'm sure the emcee will reveal the answer to us soon!"
In fact, it wasn't just City Lord Han and the others who were curious about the item inside the box. Almost everyone in the auction hall was curious about it. It could be seen from the way everyone stared unblinkingly at the box on the stage.
"It can be seen that everyone is filled with anticipation for the item inside the box. Now, I will reveal to everyone the first treasure that our Cheng Family has auctioned in today's Treasure Auction. It is a Cultivation Pill! "The emcee said loudly.
"What? Only a cultivation pill? And here I thought it was an immortal pill? What a waste of my time! "
"Isn't the Cheng Clan too insincere? In the end, it was only a cultivation pill. We are all Great Ascension Stage cultivators, what use is a cultivation pill? That little bit of cultivation isn't even enough to fill the gaps between our teeth! "
"Is there a mistake? Does the Cheng Clan not have anything to auction now? We spent 10,000 Spirit Stones as an entrance fee, did we come here just to watch you auction the Cultivation Pills? "
"That's right, cultivation pills are sold everywhere. Even in the cultivation world, we can buy them. Why would we spend 10,000 spirit stones to come here to auction?"
"We are aware that the Cheng Family has some very good Cultivation Pills. However, for high-level cultivators like us, those pills can only increase our cultivation bases by five years at best. Additionally, some of you here have already used your contribution points to exchange for those pills.
It is reasonable for us to use contribution points to exchange for such an item, but isn't it a bit too much for us to spend a lot of money to auction it off as the first item?
Does the Cheng Clan think that we are fools with too much money? "
"That's right, the Cheng Clan can't go too far!"
However, what no one expected was that when the emcee announced that the item in the box was only a cultivation pill, everyone was immediately disappointed.
Some people even felt that the Cheng Clan was too much of a scam. They had spent such a high entrance fee, but the first item to be auctioned was so disappointing. How could they have any interest and expectations for the items to be auctioned later?
This was because they knew that cultivation pills were relatively useful for low level cultivators, but for high level cultivators like them, especially now that many of the cultivators present were already at the Great Ascension Stage, cultivation pills were even more useless.
In the cultivation world, cultivation pills couldn't even enter the auction house because their value was too low.
Most of the cultivation pills sold in the market place could only increase one's cultivation by five to ten years, and that was only for low level cultivators. The higher the cultivation, the worse the effect.
The best cultivation pill could only increase a Gold Core Stage cultivator's cultivation by 50 years.
However, it could be said that such a cultivation pill had no effect on a Great Ascension Stage cultivator.
However, the Cheng Clan's cultivation pill was much better than the cultivation pills in the cultivation world. For high level cultivators, it could increase their cultivation by five years.
Originally, to be able to increase a high level cultivator's cultivation by five years was already a very good thing.
