Zuo Guangyuan's lips curled up in a cold smile. It was clear that he was determined to obtain that Sage Grade pagoda. The moment he opened his mouth, he shocked most of the people.
This immediately extinguished the flames of desire in many people's hearts.
Two hundred thousand Astral Coins. An ordinary half-Sage would only have that much wealth.
Xiao Chen was very interested in the Sage Grade pagoda. Unfortunately, he had not comprehended Heavenly Sage Laws yet and could not refine it. It was not worth it to buy it.
The hall fell silent. For now, no one made another bid. Disappointment appeared in Old Qin's eyes. A Inferior Grade Sage Grade Secret Treasure could sell for one hundred thousand Astral Coins.
Two hundred thousand Astral Coins was indeed a great profit. However, this was an auction. If someone bid, the price could continue to rise.
"Two hundred and thirty thousand."
However, it was clear that Old Qin's worries were unfounded. Someone immediately raised the bid to thirty thousand Astral Coins. The one who made the bid was the Magnificent Fiend Hall's Young Hall Master, Xiang Fei.
"Two hundred and fifty thousand."
"Two hundred and seventy thousand."
"Three hundred thousand."
Soon, the top true inheritors of the six factions called out their bids. The competition was intense, and the price kept rising.
From the initial fifty thousand Astral Coins, the price rose sixfold to three hundred thousand Astral Coins. This was already a horrifying number.
However, what surprised Xiao Chen was that none of the Martial Sages in the VIP rooms on the second floor made a bid. They did not seem to care about this Sage Grade Secret Treasure.
Ao Jiao explained, "Defensive Secret Treasures are very valuable. However, this pagoda contains too few Heavenly Dao Laws, not even fifty. To those Martial Sages, it is not enough. It is of little value and is not worth spending a lot of money on. "
Xiao Chen now understood. It turned out that there was such a logic behind this.
On the other side, Xuan Yu, who was seated at the back, said, "Bai, do you want this Sage Grade pagoda? If you do, I can help you buy it."
Bai was somewhat distracted. He smiled politely and said, "There is no need. It is too expensive."
Seeing Bai reject him so straightforwardly, Xuan Yu smiled embarrassedly. His handsome face showed some embarrassment.
Eventually, this Sage Grade pagoda reached a price of three hundred and fifty thousand Astral Coins. Unexpectedly, the Eternal Heavenly Sword School's Mo Lingtian won it.
After Mo Lingtian obtained the Sage Grade pagoda, he revealed a cocky expression. Then, he gestured at Zuo Guangyuan to show off, angering the other party so much that he gritted his teeth.
After successfully obtaining a good start, Old Qin's mood was very good. He immediately revealed the second auction item. It was a Heaven Ranked Spear Art.
To any Martial Monarch, a Heaven Ranked Martial Technique was a trump card. No one would complain about having too many trump cards.
In addition, there were quite a few cultivators who used spears at the scene. After an intense bidding war, the spear was sold for an extremely high price.
Many of the treasures auctioned next were rare items. Of course, there were also some items that weren't very valuable that were left unsold.
There were no treasures that could excite Xiao Chen, so he did not make a move. However, he treated it as an eye-opener, so it was not boring.
"The next item up for auction is a pill formula. The pill formula records the refining method of the Breaking Sage Pill. Of course, I believe you all know that the refining method of this Medicinal Pill is an Immortal Dao Alchemy. It is completely different from the current refining methods. The starting bid is ten thousand Astral Coins. "
When Xiao Chen heard Old Qin's voice, he perked up. The thing he had been waiting for had finally arrived.
"Ha ha! I wonder which unlucky Alchemist got cheated and ended up selling this Alchemy Recipe cheaply."
"How unfortunate! If he could really refine the Breaking Sage Pill, the value of this Alchemy Recipe would be ten or twenty times higher."
"What is the point of saying all this? After Great Master Jin died, no one in the Kunlun Realm could learn Immortal Dao Alchemy."
Clearly, the people present were familiar with the Alchemy Recipe for the Breaking Sage Pill. They discussed it in low voices, but no one made a bid.
Old Qin had expected this long ago. The chances of this Alchemy Recipe going unsold were very high. However, it was not a true treasure. So be it.
"Eleven thousand."
Just as Old Qin prepared the next item, Xiao Chen raised his bid by one thousand Astral Coins.
"What a fool! Another person thinks that he is the reincarnation of Great Master Jin, able to refine the Breaking Sage Pill."
"Ha ha! There are fools every year; there is never a lack of them."
Seeing someone buy this thing that was definitely a loss, several people immediately mocked him.
Only Old Qin, who was on the auction platform, smiled happily. It was as though he feared that Xiao Chen would go back on his word. He picked up the hammer and was about to smash it down.
"Twenty thousand Astral Coins!"
Just at this moment, something strange happened. A voice suddenly rang out. Unexpectedly, someone made a bid. Furthermore, this person raised the bid to twenty thousand Astral Coins in one go.
Who is this?
Everyone could not help but look over curiously. They discovered it was a mysterious cultivator wearing black robes and a mask. No one could guess his origins.
On the other side, under the cloak, Xiao Chen's expression was extremely calm. He said, "Thirty thousand."
"Forty thousand."
Right after Xiao Chen raised the bid to thirty thousand, the black-robed masked man immediately raised it to forty thousand.
Old Qin, who was just about to smash the hammer, was stunned by this sudden turn of events. He could not understand what was going on. This was an Alchemic Recipe that was clearly a scam. Why would someone bid for it? Furthermore, this person even raised the bid to forty thousand Astral Coins.
Xiao Chen had to obtain the Alchemic Recipe for the Breaking Sage Pill. Others might not know any Immortal Alchemy, but Xiao Chen was an exception.
The trash in the eyes of others was a supreme treasure in Xiao Chen's eyes. He absolutely could not let it go.
Xiao Chen, whose face was mostly covered by the shadow of his hood, opened his mouth again. "Fifty thousand."
"Sixty thousand."
"Seventy thousand."
"Eighty thousand."
"Ninety thousand."
Every time Xiao Chen raised the bid by ten thousand, the mysterious masked man would not hesitate to raise the bid by another ten thousand, as though he was certain he would win.
This repeated over and over again. When the bid reached two hundred thousand Astral Coins, the two of them still did not show any signs of stopping.
In the auction hall, the mockery that was originally mixed with various voices gradually stopped. Everyone fell into a strange silence. Quite a few people had their mouths wide open, completely dumbfounded by what they saw.
"Four hundred thousand."
"Four hundred thousand."
Under the bidding of the two, the price of the Breaking Sage Pill soared until it reached a level that everyone found incredulous.
The price of an insignificant Breaking Sage Pill's Alchemic Recipe far surpassed that of a Sage Grade Secret Treasure. This defied logic. No matter how hard they thought, they could not figure out what was going on.
The gazes of everyone in the hall focused on the two mysterious bidders. Even the several Martial Sages on the second floor, who were as calm as Mount Tai, cast doubtful gazes.
Xiao Chen raised his head slightly and looked up. Only when he reached the railing at the top floor of the Flourishing Heaven Pavilion did he stop.
Behind the railing, Nangong Qiong smiled faintly and exchanged gazes with Xiao Chen mischievously. It was hard to imagine that this girl, who normally exuded a noble air, could have such a cheerful expression.
Xiao Chen withdrew his gaze and smiled bitterly, stopping his bid.
Ao Jiao clicked her tongue and said, "That's for acting cool. Now you know the consequences of offending a woman, right?"
Since Xiao Chen stopped bidding, naturally, there would not be a third person. Just like that, the Breaking Sage Pill that no one cared about was sold for a price even higher than that of a Sage Grade Secret Treasure.
Four hundred and ten thousand Astral Coins!
Such a high price startled everyone. As they looked at the mysterious masked person, they all tried to guess which deity this person was. Why would he spend so much money on a useless Alchemic Recipe?
"If you still want the Breaking Sage Pill, come and look for me after the auction ends."
A melodious voice entered Xiao Chen's mind. When he looked up, he saw Nangong Qiong blinking at him. She smiled faintly and retreated.
Xiao Chen frowned in confusion. What is this woman trying to do?
On the other side, Bai looked at Xiao Chen, who wore a black cloak and wrapped himself up tightly. An expression of pleasant surprise flashed in her eyes.
There was no mistaking it. Although that person's voice had been altered, Bai could still tell that it was Xiao Chen's voice.
However, even though Bai's thoughts were as pure as before, she was no longer as ignorant as before. Elder Brother Xiao Chen would definitely not avoid me for no reason. There must be a reason.
When Xuan Yu saw a smile on Bai's face and an excited expression on her face, he followed her gaze and could not help but ask curiously, "Bai, did you meet someone familiar?"
Bai withdrew her gaze, and her eyes turned into crescent moons. She smiled and said, "No, I just feel that it is strange that that person spent so much money to buy the Breaking Sage Pill."
Xuan Yu smiled in understanding. "The Breaking Sage Pill is a scam in the first place. However, there will always be people who believe in it. There is no need to care about it."
Old Qin, who was on the stage, revealed an expression of wild joy. He quickly hammered the gavel. This was truly a pleasant surprise, truly shocking.
The auction continued. The next item was a defensive peak Superior Grade Secret Treasure, an inner vest.
For some reason, the top true inheritors of the six great factions fought intensely for a defensive peak Secret Treasure.
The six people took turns bidding, pushing a peak Superior Grade Secret Treasure worth seventy to eighty thousand Astral Coins to more than two hundred thousand Astral Coins. In the end, the Blood Shadow Sect's Teng Peng obtained it.
If there were no more peak Superior Grade defensive Secret Treasures, there would be waves of climaxes. All sorts of bids would shake the hearts of the crowd. This made the ordinary cultivators truly understand what it meant to be rich and overbearing.
Originally, Xiao Chen wanted to exchange his inner vest for a peak Superior Grade Secret Treasure. However, when he saw the situation, he had no choice but to give up.
Xiao Chen did not earn his Astral Coins easily. He did not want to be a sucker.
However, the next item was a secret manual that attracted Xiao Chen's attention. It was a peak Heaven Ranked Martial Technique known as the Myriad Heaven Divine Fist.
Heaven Ranked Martial Techniques were not rare in the Kunlun Realm. However, peak Martial Techniques with astronomical prices were not that common. Several Rank 9 sects only had a few of them.
Furthermore, one needed to make a great contribution to obtain one. Otherwise, even true inheritors would not have a chance to practice it.
The moment this Fist Technique appeared, it quickly attracted the attention of several people. Even the Martial Sages on the second floor cast their gazes over.
However, Old Qin's next words dampened everyone's interest.
"This is a Deity Race Martial Technique. As everyone knows, aside from talent, the Deity Race Martial Techniques have certain requirements for Mental Energy and Vital Qi. Otherwise, it would be very difficult to practice them to the strongest level."
The Deity Race was born with divine strength. Their physical bodies were much stronger than humans'. Furthermore, they mainly cultivated Mental Energy. Hence, the focus of their Martial Techniques was different from that of humans.
