Two days passed quickly.
Under Duanmu Tong's lead, Tsing Hui quickly arrived at a cave on the outskirts of Rong Gold City.
Although the cave was called a cave, it was actually equivalent to the entrance to an underground world. After entering the cave, Qing Xu estimated that he had gone several dozen kilometers downwards at the very least. Only when the temperature in the surroundings had risen to around sixty degrees did he stop in a spacious cave.
The cave was two to three hundred meters in diameter and over twenty meters in height. It could easily accommodate over a thousand people. At this time, this place had been artificially arranged into a simple temporary auction house. Other than a high platform, there were hundreds of seats around. At present, there were over a hundred people present.
Duanmu Tong and Tsing Hui's arrival in the hall attracted many people's attention.
After sensing Duanmu Tong's aura that seemed to have merged into one, the minds of many people trembled slightly, and they became rather cautious. However, due to the high standard of this auction, these people did not reveal anything because of the arrival of a Gold Core Stage expert like Duanmu Tong.
"Elder, we can just find a place to sit down. When the auction starts, we can directly bid. Although the conditions here are simple and crude, we have no choice but to do so to ensure safety and foolproof."
Duanmu Tong said softly beside Tsing Hui.
Tsing Hui swept a glance around this spacious area and saw over twenty passages. Although these passages could not guarantee that everyone would escape in the same direction, at least in the event of an accident, the chances of survival would greatly increase.
"When will it start?"
"The time is at noon. It should be soon. However, if there are any important guests who have not arrived, the auction will start slightly later."
Duanmu Tong said.
Tsing Hui nodded and did not ask any more questions. Instead, he looked around at the people around him.
Even though most of the goods on the Blazing Continent were targeted at those below the True Energy Realm, the goods that could be auctioned were clearly the best of the best. It wasn't strange for them to attract Eternal Realm and Golden Core Realm experts. Although most of the hundred or so people present were at the Transformative Realm and Eternal Realm, there were still twenty or so Golden Core Realm experts. Taking up twenty percent of the total, it could be considered extremely high. Moreover, many of the Golden Core Realm experts had an aura of age on them. They had clearly lived for a very long time.
Even if these experts of the Gold Core Realm had not cultivated a high-grade Gold Core, they could often display a strength close to a high-grade Gold Core or even comparable to a high-grade Gold Core Realm expert by relying on the exquisite secret techniques and strange divine weapons they had mastered over countless years. All of them could not be underestimated. Especially because they had lived for a long time, their wealth was often extraordinary, and they could be called the core of the main force when purchasing many precious treasures.
"They are all ordinary Golden Core …"
Tsing Hui's gaze withdrew from the twenty-three Golden Core Realm experts.
Qing Xu actually did not see a single high grade golden core cultivator among the twenty-three golden core cultivators. The ratio was so low that it surprised him.
Duanmu Tong could not help but laugh bitterly when he heard Tsing Hui's words. "The biggest difference between the Golden Core Realm and the Eternal Realm is lifespan. No matter how much attention a Eternal Realm expert takes and how much he nourishes his body, without consuming top Spirit Treasures of Heaven and Earth, his lifespan will not exceed a thousand years. On average, Eternal Realm experts can only live for three to four hundred years. As for Golden Core Realm experts … as long as they don't fall into a life-or-death crisis and crack their Golden Core, they can live for more than a thousand years. Some Golden Core Realm experts who have never experienced life and death battles or whose foundation has not been damaged can easily live for two thousand years. Those who are good at nourishing their body can even live up to three thousand years. With this temptation, Eternal Realm experts will do everything they can to enter the Golden Core Realm, causing the number of Golden Core Realm experts to increase greatly. However, the amount of resources required to cultivate a high-grade Golden Core from an ordinary Golden Core Realm expert is too much, far exceeding the limit of a Golden Core Realm expert's wealth. Under such circumstances, less than one in ten can cultivate a high-grade Golden Core …"
"Less than one in ten …"
"Less than one in ten, and that's only for large sects and top forces. If all the Golden Core Realm experts outside Tianhuang Mainland are included, out of two hundred Golden Core Realm experts, only ten will be able to cultivate a high-grade Golden Core. And out of ten high-grade Golden Core Realm experts, not even one will be able to condense a peerless Golden Core. As for the Sovereign Golden Core …"
At this point, Duanmu Tong shook his head.
The Sovereign Golden Core!
To the Golden Core Realm experts of these sects, it was a legendary existence.
It must be known that even the most outstanding disciples of the Heaven Dao rarely dared to set the Sovereign Golden Core as their goal. Even the top ten prodigies of the Heaven Dao currently mainly focused on cultivating a high-grade Golden Core. From this, one could see how difficult it was to attain the Sovereign Golden Core. Although Tsing Hui had the intention to condense the Sovereign Golden Core, his cultivation during this period of time had already made him feel suffocated by the enormous amount of energy required to condense the Sovereign Golden Core. Because of this, he had already vaguely begun to consider the derivation of a Remarkable Power after perfecting his peerless Golden Core.
"Well, it's noon now, right?"
After waiting for nearly two hours, Tsing Hui asked.
"Indeed, it's noon now."
Duanmu Tong glanced at the platform, where the auctioneers had already prepared all the auction equipment, but it seemed that the auction was not about to begin. "I guess some important person is coming, so we still need to wait for a while. Important people who can make the auctioneers wait are either the descendants of some powerful people, or they have powerful backing. Therefore, even though the time is up, the people present did not make much noise after understanding the details."
Tsing Hui nodded.
"Elder, do you think we should go and urge the auction house's people? With your status, Milord …"
"No need."
Tsing Hui waved his hand. "Let's wait, there's no need to rush."
If he had intended to purchase the alchemy puppets earlier, he would naturally have urged the auctioneers, but now …
He had become a spectator, urging the auctioneers to start the auction as soon as possible, but in the end, he did not win a single item. It was a little awkward.
Time passed, and another four hours passed.
Many of the Golden Elixir realm, Never-Ending Realm, and Transformative Realm experts were grumbling when a commotion suddenly sounded from the entrance of a cave. Then, a group of more than ten people, led by a Golden Elixir realm expert of the auctioneers, slowly walked in this direction.
As this group of people arrived, they immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.
However, as they sized up this group of people, the old man who was obviously the leader of the group suddenly had a stern look on his face. The next moment, a terrifying pressure that made people tremble suddenly spread out, attacking the minds of everyone present. The Golden Elixir realm experts were better off, as only their Golden Elixirs were shaken, but the Never-Ending Realm and Transformative Realm experts' auras were directly shaken, causing their Qi to become unstable. Some of the cultivators who relied on external forces to break through could not help but turn pale and almost vomit blood.
"Powerful person! It's a powerful person! "
"It's actually a powerful person who came personally. No wonder the auctioneers wasted so much time waiting for his arrival."
"Powerful person … If this powerful person took a fancy to any treasure … who would be able to compete with him? Why did the people of Black Wind invite this powerful person here? "
A commotion broke out among the crowd, and each of them had different expressions.
"Grand Elder … Looking at this person's attire, he should be a powerful person from the Arclight Continent …"
Duanmu Tong whispered from the side.
"Arclight Continent."
Tsing Hui nodded.
This was a medium-sized continent similar to the Hidden Sword continent. However, compared to the Hidden Sword continent, the Arclight continent's power and influence was clearly a notch higher. Although it was only a medium-sized continent, it had three almighty experts. These three almighty experts each supported a force, and were competing for the position of the overlord of the Arclight continent. This continent was roughly between the Meteorite Iron continent and the Hidden Sword continent. If Duanmu Tong frequently came to the Meteorite Iron continent, then passing by the Arclight continent, it was reasonable for him to recognize this almighty expert.
Following the arrival of this powerful person, the auction gradually began.
One after another, mystical alchemy puppets and divine weapons were quickly introduced by the people of Black Wind Auction. Then, under the bidding of the crowd, they were quickly sold off.
This kind of auction was not as strict as Tsing Hui had imagined. Instead, it gave the impression of an assembly line. After the auction ended, the money was paid, and the items were taken away. It was as simple as that.
There was no confidentiality, no security, none of that.
Moreover, the whole auction process could be said to be extremely fast. Basically, after an item was sold, it would immediately move on to the next item. In less than two hours, nineteen items had been sold.
After nineteen auction items, it was finally the turn of a Gold Core Realm alchemy puppet for the twentieth item. After this alchemy puppet was taken out, it naturally attracted the attention of many people, and the price quickly rushed to 120 Daoist Rhymes.
Seeing that Tsing Hui was indifferent, Duanmu Tong could not help but remind him, "Supreme Elder, do you need to make a move on this alchemy puppet? According to the information I received, the Black Wind Auction this time did not take out three Golden Core realm alchemy puppets, but only two. It is said that after one of them was stolen, it was discovered by the people of the Arcane Church. The Arcane Church dispatched an Almighty to kill the disciple who stole the alchemy puppet, and took back the Golden Core realm alchemy puppet … With only two Golden Core realm alchemy puppets left, the competition will be much more intense. I'm afraid the final price of the second one will be higher than this one. "
After hearing that, Tsing Hui shook his head slightly. "I have the intention to buy this alchemy puppet, but some unforeseen events happened a few days ago, and the Daoist Rhymes are scarce. I have the heart but not the strength. I'll just treat this trip as watching a show …"
After hearing that, Duanmu Tong did not say anything else.
Soon, the Golden Core realm alchemy puppet was sold out. In the end, it fell into the hands of a middle-aged Golden Core realm man at the price of 134 Daoist Rhymes.
After obtaining this Golden Core realm alchemy puppet, the middle-aged Golden Core realm man did not leave. Instead, he continued to wait. It was as if he wanted to buy the second alchemy puppet as well.
"This person … seems to have a lot of wealth …"
Tsing Hui's gaze fell on the middle-aged Golden Core realm man.
Not only him, but many people were also secretly sizing up this middle-aged man. Obviously, some other thoughts had arisen in their hearts.
