At night, when the lanterns were lit, the entire Youshan City was bustling with noise, as though it was a city without night...
When Xia Pingan arrived at the Roc King Auction House, he was shocked by the scale of the Roc King Auction House.
It was too big!
The King Peng Auction House in Youshan City was much bigger than the King Peng Auction House in Shang Jing City. Just the square outside the King Peng Auction House was as big as a football field. From the outside, the King Peng Auction House looked like a huge stadium.
At the entrance of the auction house, a golden Peng was standing tall with its head held high and its chest puffed out. Its aura was unparalleled. Behind the Peng, the auction house was brightly lit. Under the Peng's spread wings, there were a total of six entrances to the auction house. In front of each entrance, there were two two-and-a-half-meter-tall minotaurs. They wore heavy armor and held heavy hammers in their hands. That aura was enough to make cowards piss their pants.
Bustling crowds of people entered the auction house through the six doors. Apart from humans, there were also beastmen and demonic wolves who came to participate in the auction.
Xia Pingan walked around Youshan City for half a day before arriving here. He did not expect that today would be the day of the Roc King Auction House's auction. Xia Pingan also came to join in the fun.
The Shang Dynasty had already started to restrict the rare realm pearls and they could not be bought in the auction house. Xia Pingan wanted to see if he could get a rare realm pearl in the auction house of Youshan City. There was no restriction on resources in Youshan City.
After not fusing with a Realm Pearl for two months, his divine power did not improve at all. Xia Pingan felt that he was about to die from boredom. Only when he did not have a Realm Pearl did he miss those "happy times" in Shang Jing City. At that time, the Realm Pearls were all fusing with one another, and his strength was like sitting on a rocket, changing with each passing day.
It was a pity that as the common realm pearls were fused with, there were fewer and fewer rare realm pearls. It was impossible for him to experience those days again.
As a summoner, strength was the foundation of a summoner. As long as there was a chance, Xia Pingan would not let go of the chance to fuse with a realm pearl.
Flaming Rhinoceros, who had finally returned to his human form, was wearing black clothes. He followed beside Xia Pingan, making it seem as if he was Xia Pingan's friend.
As a top assassin, Flaming Rhino knew a set of bone-shrinking skills. Once this set of bone-shrinking skills was used, Flaming Rhino's body shape and face could be easily changed. His face was almost unrecognizable by Xia Pingan.
During the day, Yan Xi acted as a tour guide and brought Xia Pingan around Youshan City. They even went to the outskirts of Morality Castle to take a look. At night, the two of them returned to the city.
Xia Pingan felt that there was a benefit to having Flaming Rhinoceros by his side. Anyone who saw the two of them walking together would not think that Xia Pingan had an accomplice when he was running for his life.
Xia Pingan was not worried that Flaming Rhinoceros would run away or betray him. This was because if something happened to him, Flaming Rhinoceros's Shape Sealing Technique would be solidified. If Flaming Rhinoceros wanted to be a human again, it would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens. Flaming Rhinoceros's fate had already been tied to Xia Pingan.
As for the matter of him being chased by the Blood Demon Church, Flaming Rhinoceros did not dare to have any other thoughts other than gloating.
The two of them followed the people in front of them from the main door in the middle of the Roc King Auction House. There was a box at the entrance of the auction house. The entrance ticket to the auction house cost one gold coin.
The rules of the Roc King Auction House in Youshan were completely different from the rules of the Roc King Auction House in Shang Jing City.
Every auction item here was kept secret before the auction started. Every time one came to participate in the auction, they had to pay one gold coin to try their luck. At the same time, there was no VIP auction here. All the auctions were held in a hall. Moreover, there were all kinds of auction items. Anything could be auctioned, including people, Demon Wolf Warriors, beauties of the Fox Clan, and so on …
Flaming Rhinoceros introduced the rules here to Xia Pingan in a low voice.
Behind the six main doors of the auction house, there were six small doors. The people who entered would be divided into different small doors. Then, behind the small doors, they could randomly receive a mask from a service desk. Only by wearing a mask could they enter the auction house.
"Sir, after you bid for the item you like, please don't take off your mask. If you expose your face in the auction house, the auction house will not be able to guarantee your safety after you leave the auction house. For customers who bid for the item, we have a special dressing room and dressing room in the backstage of the auction house. Customers can leave through a special passage after putting on their makeup. In this way, they won't be recognized by other people who participate in the auction!"
A seductive beauty of the Fox Clan handed a fox mask to Xia Pingan. Then, she introduced it to Xia Pingan in a soft voice, "In addition, if you cause trouble in the auction house by force, you will be killed by the protectors of the auction house. If you can't pay for the item you bid for, it's equivalent to selling yourself to the auction house. You will be sold as a slave by the auction house to pay for the auction. Therefore, please be careful when you bid for the item and don't affect other people's auctions!"
This rule was prepared for people who wanted to cause trouble.
Xia Pingan had already prepared himself mentally. He nodded slightly and took the fox mask. Then, he entered the auction house through the passage.
Half a minute later, Flaming Rhinoceros, who was also wearing a fox mask, followed him in.
The seats in the auction house were all small cubicles. Each cubicle could seat up to three people at most. The cubicles were marked with the auction seat number of each person. There was also a mechanical bidding device in each cubicle. As long as one operated the bidding device, one could bid and participate in the auction in the cubicle. It looked quite interesting.
There were many people who came to participate in the auction. Xia Pingan glanced at the auction house. This auction house could seat at least five thousand people. There were more than four thousand people who came to participate in the auction tonight.
Not long after he sat down, there were still people who came to participate in the auction. Xia Pingan suddenly heard Flaming Rhinoceros's voice. "The person in seat number 3063 in the second row at nine o 'clock on your left is one of the Four Great Guardian Warriors of the Morality Gang, Tu Lie. He's Wei Jiangxing's right-hand man!"
Xia Pingan's heart skipped a beat. He looked in the direction Flaming Rhinoceros was talking about. He saw a strong man wearing a bull's mask and a silver robe. He had just entered seat number 3063 and sat down. He was looking around.
"How do you know that person is one of the Four Great Guardian Warriors of the Morality Gang, Tu Lie?" Xia Pingan asked Flaming Rhinoceros.
"I remember his hairstyle, body shape, and walking posture. He's only wearing a mask. His body shape, hairstyle, and walking posture haven't changed. So, how can I be sure that we're going to do something tonight?" Flaming Rhinoceros licked his lips. His voice was laced with bloodlust.
Xia Pingan only glanced at Tu Lie. His gaze did not linger on Tu Lie for even half a second before he naturally looked away. This way, he would not attract the attention of other experts.
It was really better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. Xia Pingan was still thinking about how to deal with the Morality Gang during the day. He did not expect to meet the Four Great Guardian Warriors of the Morality Gang at the auction house at night.
"Keep an eye on him first. We'll talk after the auction …"
"Understood, hehe …"
Xia Pingan did not say anything else. However, Child of Fortune had already jumped out of his secret mandala and quickly walked around the auction house.
In Child of Fortune's line of sight, Xia Pingan saw a skinny old man standing in a private room at the highest point of the auction house. He had his hands behind his back and was overlooking the entire auction house.
A fat man wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, a small mustache, and a gorgeous robe stood respectfully beside the old man. "Old Crane, it's been a bit chaotic outside recently. The friction between the Morality Gang and the Fire Dragon Pavilion seems to be expanding. A few tribes of the Devil Wolf Clan are fighting over the Fertile Water Plains. The Devil Wolf Clan is also reshuffling. The few Devil Wolf Mages and Devil Wolf Warriors who were expelled from the defeated tribes are all heading towards Youshan City. Youshan City is not peaceful.
"Hehe, since when has Youshan City been peaceful?" The old man's eyelids drooped. His expression did not change at all. "We've killed a lot of people who came to the auction house to cause trouble. Don't worry. If anyone doesn't know the rules, I'll naturally let them know!"
"With Old Crane's words, I'm relieved!" The fat man revealed a smile on his face.
After Child of Fortune walked around the auction house, he sat on Tulay's head with an angry expression. Child of Fortune had indeed sensed the bloody aura of the Blood Demon Sect's Devil's Eye from Tulay's body.
Xia Pingan stared at the auction house. His eyes had already unknowingly narrowed. His gaze was as cold as a blade.
…
Not long after, the auction began.
The auctioneer who walked onto the stage was a man with two long rabbit ears. He was a Rabbitman from the Beast Clan. Apart from the two rabbit ears, the auctioneer also had two long and sharp rabbit teeth.
"Distinguished guests, today's auction of the Roc King Auction House officially begins. The first item to be auctioned today is the twin beauties of the Fox Clan …"
Following the auctioneer's introduction, a pair of beautiful Fox Clan girls walked onto the auction stage hand in hand. They turned around on the stage and displayed their flirtatious figures and appearances.
Looking at the pair of Fox Clan girls, the eyes of many people in the auction house lit up. They secretly swallowed their saliva.
"The starting price of this pair of beautiful Fox Clan girls is 500 gold coins. Each increment must not be less than 50 gold coins. Everyone, please bid!"
The mechanical bidding machine in the auction house began to ring. There were a few slots on the bidding machine that had the lowest increment of one to ten times. Those who wanted to bid for the Fox Clan girls frantically pulled the mechanical bidding machine. In less than half a minute, the pair of Fox Clan girls were bought by someone at the price of 2,350 gold coins …
The mechanical bidding machine was indeed very useful in this kind of situation. It could greatly increase the efficiency of the auction.
After the pair of Fox Clan twins, the next item to be auctioned was 20 sets of Foundation Establishment Realm Beads in a row. Then, there were a few Hundred-Year Blood Ginseng, Nine-Leaf Ganoderma Grass, Sandworm Crystal, a few sets of Demon Wolf Warriors, Orc Warriors, Runic Dharma Artifacts, and various other Realm Beads.
However, to Xia Pingan, those Realm Beads were things that he had fused with before. Thus, they didn't pique his interest at all.
Finally, after more than an hour of the auction, a new Realm Bead was sent onto the stage.
"This is a rare Divine Skill Realm Bead. The Divine Skill of this Realm Bead is very useful to Summoners. At critical moments, it can allow Summoners to have the Diamond Neck to resist attacks on the vital parts of their neck. Even without the corresponding Spiritual Force Crystal, the mortality rate of this Realm Bead is very low. The starting price of this Realm Bead is 1,200 gold coins. Each increment is at least 100 gold coins …"
Seeing the new rare Realm Bead appear on the auction stage, Xia Pingan was shocked. He focused his attention on the Realm Bead and saw that it was dark red in color. There were two words in Xiaozhuan on the Realm Bead — Dong Xuan.
Seeing the two words Dong Xuan, Xia Pingan knew why this Realm Bead could allow Summoners to have the Divine Skill to protect their necks. Dong Xuan was the famous "Strong Neck Order".
As soon as this rare Realm Bead appeared, the bidding in the auction immediately became intense. The original starting price of 1,200 gold coins quickly broke through 2,000 gold coins. Xia Pingan also called out two bids, but …
"Seat 3063 bids 3,800 gold coins. Seat 3063 bids 3,800 gold coins. Is there anyone who wants to go higher?" The auctioneer in the venue became excited.
Seat 3063 belonged to one of the Righteous Gang's Four Great Guardian Deities, Tulay. This price was already three times the starting price of the rare Realm Bead. It was already very expensive. The other competitors also shrank back. Xia Pingan was rich, but after thinking about it, he only glanced at seat 3063. His lips curled into an unfathomable smile, and he also gave up on bidding.
"I announce that this Divine Skill Realm Bead belongs to seat 3063 …" The auctioneer's gavel fell.
The auction continued. Not long after, another rare Realm Bead appeared.
"This is also a rare Divinity Realm Bead. If you successfully fuse with it, you will gain at least 20 points of Divinity Realm Bead. Although this rare Divinity Realm Bead is hard to fuse with, its biggest feature is that you won't die even if you fail to fuse with it. It's very safe. If you have the corresponding Divinity Realm Bead or want to challenge it, you can have a try. The starting price of this Realm Bead is 1000 gold coins.
Xia Pingan looked at the Divine Power Realm Bead. He saw the four Xiaozhuan characters on the Realm Bead — Haoliang's Defense — and understood.
This Realm Bead only increased Divine Power. Moreover, it was not cheap, so the competition was not very intense. After a few rounds of bidding, Xia Pingan won the Realm Bead for 2,300 gold coins.
Later on, another rare Divine Power Realm Bead was sold together with a Divine Sense Crystal. This rare Divine Power Realm Bead was "one thousand gold coins per word". When paired with the Divine Sense Crystal, the starting price was 2,600 gold coins.
The competition for this rare Divine Power Realm Bead was very fierce. Xia Pingan did not bid much, but the price of this Realm Bead and the Divine Sense Crystal was already above 5,000 gold coins.
In the end, seat 3063 bought the "one thousand gold coins per word" Realm Bead and the Divine Sense Crystal for 6,100 gold coins.
After this Realm Bead, no other rare Realm Beads appeared until the end of the auction. The auction thus ended.
Once the auction ended, Xia Pingan gave Flaming Rhinoceros a look. Flaming Rhinoceros nodded slightly and quickly left …
