The scale of the auction house was not big.
Of the tens of rows of seats, half of them were empty.
At this moment, on the auction stage, an old man holding a copper hammer smashed down, "Bewitching pearl, bought by number 8762."
"Next is the Thunder God Pearl refined by the City Lord using the power of heaven and earth. This pearl contains the power of heavenly thunder, which can instantly kill all rank 5 sea beasts and severely injure rank 6 sea beasts. The starting price is 10 Crystal Cores. Let's start the bidding now." Laozi's eyes were blurry, and his expression was calm. However, a pleasing smile still hung on his face.
"11 cores … …"
"12 cores … …"
"15 cores … …"
… …
The people below the stage started bidding.
Qin Tian and Meng Fanyi sat at the back, quietly watching the clamoring in front. "The Evil Demon city leader really knows how to do business."
"A universe realm expert, is he so bored that his balls hurt, or is he so bored that his balls hurt? Could it be that he has so much Qigong that he has nowhere to release it?" Meng Fanyi leaned back on his seat and looked at the bustling scene in front of him. He could not help but laugh.
"An ordinary thunder pearl is at most worth 2 cores. However, since it was refined by the Evil Demon city leader, a universe realm expert, it's different. You can't say that the city leader knows how to do business, but that the people in front are stupid enough." Qin Tian smiled. Such things were very common in his previous world.
An ordinary item, if a celebrity were to be the spokesperson, the price would increase.
Qin Tian did not find it strange.
However, Meng Fanyi was stunned. He looked at Qin Tian and felt that Qin Tian was not simple. The things that he thought about were beyond his understanding.
After a round of bidding, the thunder pearl was sold for a high price of 21 cores.
Qin Tian shook his head and smiled bitterly.
After that, the old man ordered the staff to bring out two transparent pearls with spiritual energy surrounding them.
"Everyone here is an adventurer heading towards the Jibei ocean. There are countless treasures hidden at the bottom of the ocean. Rumor has it that it is the resting place of the ancient demon race. This rumor is not fake. I believe that you all know about it, so I won't say much."
"If you want to enter the bottom of the Netherworld Sea, you'll need a good Water Avoidance Pearl."
"The pearls in front of you are two pure Water Repelling Pearls that our great City Lord used the Heaven and Earth Great Technique to condense supreme divine power. After forty-nine days, he finally refined two pure Water Repelling Pearls. Not only can it bring you all deep into the sea, it can also ensure that you all can move freely at the bottom of the sea without being affected."
"If you want to search for the treasures of the demon race, you must have a pure Water Repelling Pearl."
"There are two of them. The highest bidder wins."
The old man's sonorous and powerful words completely stirred up the hundreds of adventurers below the stage. Their eyes sparkled as they looked at the two Water Repelling Pearls surrounded by spiritual energy on the stage, and the price kept rising.
"Fifty-six …"
"Sixty …"
…
"Brother Qin, should we make a move? I have a hundred cores here, should we … …" Meng Fanyi was slightly anxious. Seeing the price rising, he felt that a hundred cores might not be enough.
Qin Tian smiled, "No rush."
"Eh?" Meng Fanyi did not understand.
"Don't worry, not to mention two, I'm afraid the auction house can even take out two hundred." Qin Tian looked at the old man's blurred eyes and concluded that there would definitely be more of such pearls in the auction house.
The old man's words were just a method to incite everyone to bid.
This was the brilliance of the auction. Every time the Evil Demon city lord was brought out, the price would naturally soar. Who would have thought that these pearls were actually refined by a few ascension realm experts in the city?
How could a universe realm city lord refine something of such a low standard?
This was something that could be understood even with one's toes, so why were there so many people so foolish?
The two cores were bought by a hundred and three cores. The old man's smile deepened and he smashed down with his hammer.
Everyone was crestfallen and depressed.
Suddenly, a worker walked up and whispered a few words into the old man's ear. Following which, the old man became excited and shouted, "Just now, the city lord refined another two purer Water Repelling Pearls … …"
In a moment, the auction house became lively again.
"As expected, haha … …" Qin Tian laughed softly.
Meng Fanyi stared blankly and looked at Qin Tian with admiration, "How did you know?"
"It's not hard to guess if you observe carefully. Just wait, after these two are auctioned, there will be more Water Repelling Pearls appearing." Qin Tian laughed.
As expected, after two Water Repelling Pearls were auctioned, another two appeared.
After tens of times, almost everyone managed to get a Water Repelling Pearl.
However, they suddenly realised that they had been cheated. Only in the end did they realise that they were cheated. However, they were the ones who called out the price, and no one forced them to bid. Without a choice, they could only swallow their bitterness and sigh as they left.
Before going to the ocean, their bodies were stripped clean. Not only did they not find any treasures, they were also stripped of a layer of skin.
In the end, only Qin Tian and Meng Fanyi were left.
The old man stared blankly. From the start, he had noticed Qin Tian and Meng Fanyi, but he had never seen them bid. In the end, seeing that Qin Tian had not left, he walked down and smiled, "Are the two brothers here to bid?"
"Old man has a good standard." Qin Tian stood up and cupped his fist.
The old man's heart tightened, but he was not shocked at being seen through. He laughed awkwardly, "Just trying to make a living, haha … …"
He was not afraid of anything. In Evil Demon city, there was no need for him to be afraid of anything. Looking at Qin Tian, he fell in love with this smart yet reserved youth. There were not many people who could see through him, and Qin Tian was one of them. He could not help but look at Qin Tian in a different light.
Qin Tian smiled, "50 Lightning pearls and 4 Water Repelling Pearls. Old man, name a price. As long as it's not too high, it's fine. Just look at our strength and you will know that we aren't rich."
The old man was startled. Qin Tian wanted 50 Lightning pearls, what was he trying to do? He was clear of the might of the Lightning pearls. It could indeed kill any rank five ocean beast. With the might of 50 pearls, even ascension realm experts would be blown to smithereens.
"Don't worry, we are also adventurers. We will definitely not dare to cause trouble in Evil Demon city." Qin Tian knew that the old man was worried.
Meng Fanyi, who was standing at the side, was extremely shocked. 50 Lightning pearls, what was Qin Tian trying to do?
The old man narrowed his eyes and looked at Qin Tian, hesitating.
"Sell it to them."
Suddenly, a voice entered his mind. His expression changed, "What's your price?"
"Two hundred cores." Qin Tian smiled.
"Isn't that a little too little?" The old man smiled back.
"This is all the cores I have."
The old man hesitated for a moment before loosening his frown, "Alright, to be friends with you, 200 cores it is."
Qin Tian cupped his fist in gratitude.
After exiting the auction house, the old man walked to the backstage and stood respectfully beside a black robed old man, "Envoy, why do you want to sell it to them at such a low price?"
"City leader needs to swallow a large amount of cores to break through to rank five universe realm. 200 cores is not a loss for us." The black robed old man spoke softly. The black light emitted from his body was extremely dense.
"Rank five universe realm!"
The old man's throat rolled and his body trembled in excitement.
