Very quickly, Linlong and the other two arrived at a private room on the third floor. Although the view from that room was not as good as the room in the middle, it was better in that it would not be noticed by others.
From there, they could clearly see the situation of the auction below. Due to the special design, the people below could not see who was in the upper bakery room.
Not long after entering the private room, the auction officially started. At that moment, the seats in the hall below were basically all filled.
There were four to five hundred seats and they were almost all filled. One could imagine how popular the auction was.
The auctioneer was a tall, bald, middle-aged man. With a glance, Linlong could tell that he had the strength of the sixth level of the Martial Master realm.
"The time has come. The Smoke Cloud Hall's auction will officially begin." The auctioneer's voice was loud and clear.
After speaking, a thin, yellowish booklet was brought to the front of the stage. After taking the booklet in his hand, the auctioneer pointed at its cover and said, "This is the Middle Profound Rank Dark Attribute martial skill, Withered Leaf Palm. I believe everyone is unfamiliar with this palm technique. This palm technique has only recently appeared in the Mutian Continent. The reason why it has the name of Withered Leaf is because the skin of the person struck by it instantly turns into the color of a withered leaf …"
Naturally, a palm technique like that could not attract Linlong's attention. However, it immediately caused many people to bid for it. After all, it was a mid-level profound-rank dark-attribute martial skill suitable for Martial Lords. One had to know that some Martial Lords could not even obtain a martial skill like that in their entire lives.
It was different from Earth Rank Martial Skills. The higher the rank, the rarer the martial skills. The martial artists who possessed these martial skills cherished them more and they would not easily pass them down to others.
It was also because of that reason that Profound Rank Martial Skills would enter such an auction.
Such a high rank martial skill immediately caused the auction that had just started to enter a climax. The people on scene all started bidding.
The bidding price went from the initial one thousand cloud coins to ten thousand cloud coins, and after that, it shot up like crazy.
Only when it reached five hundred thousand cloud coins did the shouts start to become sparse. However, there were still a few people who were fervently bidding against each other.
At that time, Linlong discovered that Old Dong, who sat next to him, also revealed a fervent gaze.
Linlong recalled that due to the characteristics of Old Dong's cultivation technique, the Profound Rank Martial Skill was quite suitable for him. Otherwise, he would not be so fervent.
But because he had no money, Elder Dong didn't dare to bid.
Lin Long couldn't help but smile, when Withered Leaf Palm's bid reached a million cloud coins, he directly added a hundred thousand.
"Young Master Lin, do you mean that you want to buy this martial technique?" Elder Dong and He Qingxue were surprised.
Linlong did not say anything. He merely smiled.
"The guest from room 308 bids 1.1 million cloud coins …" The auctioneer immediately shouted.
What, the honored guests upstairs also want to fight over such a martial technique? Seeing this scene, the people below could not help but be a little surprised.
In their eyes, those who could enter the private room should be disdainful of such a martial skill.
However, there were some people who quickly felt relieved. After all, these honored guests could give this kind of martial skill to their subordinates. It wasn't like they had to use it themselves.
"I bid 1.2 million cloud coins." Someone shouted out unwillingly.
"1.5 million cloud coins." Linlong's next bid immediately caused that person to give up.
"1.5 million cloud coins going once."
"One million five hundred thousand going twice."
"1.5 million cloud coins going thrice … Okay, this Withered Leaf Palm belongs to the honored guest in room 308." The auctioneer said with a smile.
The fact that this Withered Leaf Palm could be auctioned for such a high price was completely out of his expectations.
Very quickly, the Withered Leaf Palm was delivered to room 308 where Linlong was. The method of payment was also very simple. The attendant directly deducted the amount from Linlong's gold card.
This gold card used a special restriction technique. This kind of technique was only used to keep accounts. Even a Martial Saint expert could not easily erase it. Thus, it was commonly used in the Chaos Sky Continent.
As for the cloud coins, they were exclusive to the Smoke Cloud Palace. Of course, they could only be used within the Smoke Cloud Palace.
But because of the Smoke Cloud Palace's bustling trading and auction market, this kind of cloud coin was already commonly used in the nearby countries.
Of course, this was not recognized by the nearby countries.
After receiving the Withered Leaf Palm manual, Linlong directly handed it over to Elder Dong and said, "Elder Dong, since we are acquainted, this Withered Leaf Palm is for you."
"Young Master Lin, this is?" Elder Dong's waxy yellow face revealed an incomparably shocked expression.
"Elder Dong, this Withered Leaf Palm is a palm technique suitable for you." Linlong said.
"It's just that, Young Master Lin, there is no such thing as an undeserved reward." Elder Dong shook his head.
"Since we are friends, just treat it as a loan. You can return it to me when you have the money." Linlong said with a faint smile.
"Young Master, after receiving such a favor from you previously, what should I do if I want this martial technique?" He Qingxue who was at the side also frowned.
"Sigh, since Elder Dong doesn't want it and this young master has no use for it, I can only tear it apart." Linlong immediately sighed and grabbed the manual with his hands.
Seeing that Linlong was really going to tear the manual, Elder Dong hurriedly called out. "Young Master Lin, you can't."
Seeing this kind of secret manual was like seeing his own life. How could Elder Dong allow Linlong to tear it apart so easily?
"Oh?" Linlong stopped.
"Then let's do as Young Master Lin says. This old man will hold it for now and return it to you when I have the money." As he said that, Elder Dong directly took the manual from Linlong's hands, looking as if he was really afraid that Linlong would tear it apart.
Linlong couldn't help but smile. Why would he tear it apart? He was just putting on an act.
"Many thanks, Young Master." He Qingxue hurriedly said.
"You're welcome. Who knows, this young master might trouble Miss He in the future." Linlong said.
He wasn't just saying this casually because there might really be a use for He Qingxue in the future. After all, He Qingxue was someone who could even kill a Martial Sage in the future.
Then, the few of them once again focused their attention on the auction.
There were all sorts of items up for auction. There were martial techniques, cultivation methods, medicinal pills, materials, and some unknown treasures. There was even a beast egg. However, these items still didn't attract Linlong's attention.
After a quarter of an hour, one item finally attracted his attention. It was a brush. The shaft of the brush seemed to be made of a special material. However, the most special part was the tip of the brush, which seemed to be faintly shining with a golden light.
Linlong could tell that it was made from the fur of the Netherworld Golden Wolf.
This kind of brush was used by Rune Masters to draw rune threads. Although it wasn't especially precious, it wasn't something that ordinary people could afford.
