Under everyone's gaze!
The woman in red slowly walked up the stage. Every step she took was very careful and heavy. She was afraid that if she was not careful, she would miss and break the stone box in her hand.
When the middle-aged man took the stone box, the woman in red heaved a sigh of relief. She turned around and walked down the stage. Her footsteps became extremely light.
Everyone's eyes turned to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man scanned the crowd and said with a smile, "I believe that many people don't dare to believe it. But in this stone box, there is indeed a treasure of heaven and earth, the Essence of Darkness!"
As he spoke, he was about to open the stone box.
But at this moment, a very inappropriate voice sounded.
"Sir, are you not going to announce the result of the Qinghong sword?"
It was Di Tian's voice.
Immediately, everyone looked at him with anger and blame.
Di Tian did not care. He only looked at the middle-aged man with a mocking expression.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man's face turned red and he quickly got up awkwardly.
This was because he did plan to use the Essence of Darkness to divert everyone's attention and make them ignore the Qinghong sword.
After all, the market price of a quasi-Supreme Saint battle weapon was about 500 million. It was a loss to auction it for only 2 million essence.
However, he did not expect that this seemingly weak scholar would not be attracted by the Essence of Darkness. Instead, he directly exposed his plan.
How could they continue to play happily after exposing other people's shortcomings so mercilessly?
Wutian looked at Di Tian's expression and immediately understood. He chuckled and said, "The great Tianbaoge Hall wants to renege on a debt. What an eye-opener!"
Hearing this, the middle-aged man's face turned red as if it was dyed with blood. He was embarrassed.
At this moment, he really wanted to find a hole to hide in. He was too ashamed to face anyone.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a fat man in luxurious robes appeared on the high platform.
"Greetings, Manager."
The middle-aged man immediately bowed and greeted.
The manager said with a sullen face, "You can't do anything right. Get out!"
"Yes."
The middle-aged man's seven-foot body trembled. He hurriedly replied and handed the stone box to the manager. Then, he walked down the stage.
However, a trace of relief could be seen between his brows.
The chief steward raised his eyes and swept a meaningful glance over Wutian and the other person. He said: "I declare that the final owner of the Azure Rainbow Sword is Jiang Moshan, Young Master Jiang. Now, let everyone verify the authenticity of the Essence of Darkness."
After he finished speaking, he opened the stone box, and a ray of light as black as ink immediately rushed out from the stone box!
Then, the chief steward reached into the stone box and took out a fist-sized crystal.
This object was full of spirituality and had distinct corners. Strands of pitch black flames rose from its surface and sprayed out bursts of rain of light!
It was like a Devil Stone that could absorb people's minds. At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the Devil Stone. Their eyes were burning with desire and covetousness!
"It really is the Dark Essence!"
Wutian's eyes were tightly clenched. His eyes were filled with determination. No matter what, he had to get it today!
Jiang Moshan and the others beside him were the same. It was obvious that they all had the heart to get it!
Glancing at the audience, the chief steward was very satisfied with everyone's reaction. He smiled and said: "I believe that with everyone's eyesight, you can see that this crystal is indeed the Essence of Darkness. Now, I will talk about the rules of this auction.
First, only the Essence of the Seven Elements can be used to bid. Ordinary Essences are invalid and cannot be converted with ordinary Essences.
Of course, if there are treasures of the same value, we can also consider it. However, you have to come to us in advance to evaluate the value.
Second, during the auction, anyone who bids must do what they can. If you can't come up with enough Essence of the Elements, then don't blame me, Tianbaoge Hall, for being ruthless!
Third, the auction of the Essence of Darkness. There is no starting price, no limit to the increase, and no upper limit.
Now, I announce that the auction officially begins! "
After the chief steward finished speaking, no one said anything for a long time. They frowned and fell into silence.
The chief steward was not surprised by this result. He put the Essence of Darkness back into the stone box and kept it close to his chest for safekeeping. Then, he walked down the auction stage and disappeared into the back hall.
Then, the woman in red walked out from the back hall and came to the high platform to host the auction.
…
After a short moment, whispers finally broke out in the silent auction hall.
"Only the Essence of the Elements can be used to bid, and ordinary Essences can't be converted. Isn't it obvious that they are deliberately making things difficult for us?"
"Yes, the Essence of the Elements is extremely precious. Those who are lucky enough to get it usually refine it immediately to enhance their cultivation. How can they accumulate enough to bid for the Essence of Darkness?"
"Yes, we Outer Palace disciples only receive 100,000 Essence of the Elements from the Celestial Palace every year. Even the Inner Palace disciples only receive 1,000,000 Essence of the Elements every year. According to this number, even if they accumulate for tens of thousands of years, they still won't be able to buy the Essence of Darkness."
People frowned and were extremely irritated!
The thousands of dragons and phoenixes from the ninety-nine continents were also frowning.
Although they were all peerless geniuses, they had even less Essence of the Elements than the Outer Palace disciples of the Celestial Palace.
After all, their strength was still very weak, and they came from the 99 Continents. Whether it was in terms of supplies or earning with their own strength, they could not compare with the Outer Palace disciples.
Of course, there were a few people who hid their strength.
Wutian and Di Tian were typical examples.
There were seven large Elemental Spiritual Veins in the Astral Realm, and the total amount of Essence produced every year was more than 700 million!
Therefore, they did not lack Essence of the Elements at all.
However, the two of them were silent now, waiting for others to bid.
They wanted to see how the other people's foundation was.
Those who had the ability but did not bid naturally had the same goal as Wutian and Di Tian.
…
"Haha, the Essence of Darkness is a unique treasure in this world. Those who are not capable should not join in the fun. One billion!"
After 100 breaths, someone finally bid.
And this person was Ni Yeye!
Hearing this shocking number, everyone in the auction house, including most of the people in the VIP area, was dumbfounded and full of disbelief!
The value of the Essence of the Elements was ten times that of the ordinary Essence.
In other words, one Essence of the Elements was equivalent to ten ordinary Essences!
One billion Essence of the Elements, if converted to ordinary Essences, would be ten billion!
Even if Tianbaoge Hall allowed people to bid using ordinary Essences, ten billion was an astronomical number in the eyes of most people present!
Di Tian shook his head and said, "I didn't expect this guy to raise the price so high in an instant. It seems that many people have no choice but to give up."
Wutian nodded. Ni Yeye's way of doing things was always unexpected and unpredictable.
Then, Wutian turned to look at Jiang Moshan and the others.
Among the thousands of peerless geniuses, some lowered their heads with frowns, some stared ahead in deep thought, and some stared at Ni Yeye's VIP room with flickering eyes, but no one was bidding for it!
"Could it be that none of them can compete with Ni Yeye?"
Wutian was very puzzled.
These people were the best of the best in their respective continents. Logically speaking, even if they did not have enough Essence of the Elements, they should have a few valuable treasures. Why were they not willing to bid?
Suddenly, Zhao Shishi stood up and walked along the edge. Looking at the direction, it was the back hall of Tianbaoge Hall!
Obviously, she was going to find the director of Tianbaoge Hall.
As soon as Zhao Shishi moved, Jiang Moshan told Lin Ruiqing and also stood up.
Fang Hao and Miao Feng also stood up.
Seeing this, how could the others sit down with peace of mind?
The best of the best of the continents got up one after another and went in the same direction as Zhao Shishi.
Moreover, even the people in the VIP area and the auction house began to move.
For a time, the whole hall was full of people coming and going, and it was very lively!
"Five breaths are almost up. If no one bids, then the Dark Essence will belong to me. By the way, Li Buluan, Scholar Ru, why are you silent? Don't you want it? "
Ni Yeye's provocative words came from the VIP area.
Wutian and Di Tian looked at each other and smiled without saying a word.
"Humph, young man, I advise you not to be too arrogant. 1.1 billion!"
A cold snort sounded, which also came from the VIP area.
"This seems to be the voice of Xia Wei, an inner disciple of the Heavenly Palace!"
"What do you mean, it's him. It is said that his combat strength ranks tenth among the inner disciples. I think he must have a lot of Elemental Essence."
Some people whispered.
"He ranks tenth!"
Wutian and Di Tian looked at each other, and there was a touch of shock in their eyes!
Being able to rank tenth among the inner disciples of the Heavenly Palace, this person could be a top master in the entire Imperial City!
"It seems that the masters of the Heavenly Palace have also received the news. I guess they have already arrived." Di Tian transmitted his voice.
Wutian responded secretly and said with a faint smile, "It doesn't matter. In terms of strength, we are indeed not as good as them. But in terms of wealth, even if they add up, they can't make me worry. Let them waste time with Ni Yeye first."
Di Tian shook his head and laughed, saying, "With Ni Yeye's arrogant character, if he continues, he will definitely offend all the inner disciples of the Heavenly Palace."
"So, we'll leave the matter of offending others to him. When he defeats everyone else, we'll play with him."
Wutian's lips curled, and there was a touch of disdain.
In the blink of an eye!
As expected, Ni Yeye flew into a rage.
"Haha, I have the right to be arrogant. What can you do? Two billion! "
Ni Yeye laughed maniacally and raised the price to two billion. Everyone present couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air!
Ni Yeye's original intention was to humiliate Xia Wei in disguise!
"You … I seriously doubt that you have so much Elemental Essence on you now!"
Hearing this, Xia Wei could be said to be furious, and his tone became extremely gloomy.
Ni Yeye said disdainfully, "You don't have to worry about that. You, on the other hand, don't come and join in the fun if you don't have the capital. Otherwise, you'll bring shame to yourself. After all, you're a rather famous expert in Imperial City. How embarrassing would it be to be humiliated in public?"
