"Ding."
As a loud bell rang, the entire auction hall gradually quietened down. Not long after, the lights also dimmed, leaving only the auction stage as bright as before. Hence, everyone's attention was focused on the stage that was only a dozen square meters in size.
Not long after, an old man with slightly white hair walked up to the auction stage from the side, his face flushed red.
"Friends from various regions, welcome to my East Tripod City's Xuan Ling Auction House. I won't say anything unnecessary. Next, let's start the auction of our first item …"
The old man did not say much, nor did he beat around the bush. He directly announced the start of the auction. Then, with a flip of his hand, a round plate appeared in his hand.
He extended his hand and tore off the black cloth covering the round plate, revealing a palm-sized jade box.
"Huh …"
In the VIP room, Feng Hao's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, but it was only for a moment.
"The first item is a peerless Qi Flower. The starting price is one Divine Source, and each bid must be no less than a thousand Origin Stones. The auction begins now."
On the auction stage, the old man held the round plate in one hand and a small hammer in the other. He knocked on the silver-white bell on the auction table, and the crisp sound could be heard by everyone.
No one had expected that the Qi Flower would be the first item to be auctioned. In an instant, a commotion broke out in the auction hall. Many pairs of burning eyes stared at the small jade box, wanting to see through it.
However, this jade box was not something that ordinary people could see through. Many people could only see a layer of mist, and they could not see the real thing inside.
"Can you open it so that we can confirm if it's the Qi Flower?"
A hoarse voice rang out in the auction hall. It sounded like an old man, and he was not young at all.
The Qi Flower was a divine item that only appeared in the Antiquity Era. It had not been seen since then. Many people had searched the entire Penglai World and the Hundred Clans Continent, but they could not find any trace of this divine item. In the end, they could only give up.
But now, this divine item that could extend one's life had reappeared. Naturally, it attracted everyone's attention.
"Of course …"
The old man hesitated for a moment. When he saw that there was no objection, he nodded his head in agreement. After which, he put down the small hammer in his hand and placed his hand on the lid of the jade box with a slightly trembling hand. It was as though this small box lid weighed millions of kilograms and was very difficult to open …
"Kada."
Along with a light sound, a strand of faint fragrance spread out, and it refreshed the hearts and minds of all who smelled it were visibly moved. The spirits of many seniors were refreshed for a time, and they seemed as if they'd recovered the vitality of their youth.
A sparkling pink flower appeared in front of everyone's eyes. Immediately, everyone held their breaths and didn't make a single sound.
It was just a small flower that looked extremely ordinary. It had six petals and looked a bit like a winter plum, but it had its own special characteristics. That lustrous light was flowing like a liquid, giving people a soul-stirring visual impact. It was very breathtaking.
However, it only lasted for an instant before the elderly auctioneer closed the jade box. After a while, the unique fragrance also slowly faded away.
"It really is Qi Hua."
A figure of the older generation exclaimed with a trembling voice. His voice was filled with excitement.
"A peanut with six petals like a winter plum … It's exactly the same as the description in the ancient book."
"There's actually someone who's willing to take out Qi Hua to auction, and there's even three of them …"
"Who exactly is using it to auction? It's simply a waste of a heavenly treasure."
…
"That Qi Hua seems to have been plucked not too long ago …"
In the VIP room, Le Tian's eyes flickered as he muttered, causing the corners of Feng Hao's mouth to twitch.
This fellow's eyesight is amazing. He's even able to see through this.
"Brother Hao, don't tell me you really plucked it from that place?"
Le Tian suddenly turned around and asked Feng Hao.
"What do you think?"
Feng Hao's expression didn't change, and he replied with an ambiguous question.
"I guess so."
Le Tian nodded his head cautiously. Then, he said in a low voice, "Actually, I've always felt that there are two auras in Brother Hao's body. One is powerful and ruthless, as if it can destroy everything, and it's very similar to Heavenly Punishment … The other is similar to the aura of the Lord of the Void Martial Arts recorded in the ancient books. It's heavy and vast. However, the aura in Brother Hao's body seems to be stronger than the Lord of the Void Martial Arts in the legends. Could it be that … Brother Hao has already mastered the divine power of the Void Martial Arts?"
Hearing these two sentences, an unnatural expression flashed across Feng Hao's face.
This fellow had actually guessed it correctly.
This caused his heart to be greatly shaken. Moreover, he actually knew so many secrets. He actually knew the difference in strength between the Illusory Martial Powers.
It seemed that when the Lord of the Void Martial Arts moved around Penglai, he had been targeted by someone who specially went to the Hundred Races Continent to investigate. Combining all the information, it wasn't difficult to guess.
After all, the Lord of the Void Martial Arts relied on the fusion of different Sacred Crystals to gradually grow.
However, the achievements of the various Lords of the Void Martial Arts were different. Moreover, compared to the Void Martial Arts recorded in the ancient myths, they were worlds apart. Therefore, some people boldly guessed that in order to completely master the supreme divine power of the Void Martial Arts, there must be some extremely harsh conditions that the previous Lords of the Void Martial Arts couldn't meet. Therefore, they couldn't master the true supreme divine power.
Under Le Tian's observation, the aura in Feng Hao's body far surpassed that of the previous Lords of the Void Martial Arts. Therefore, he boldly guessed that Feng Hao might have already mastered the supreme divine power.
"Hehe, could it be that I've guessed correctly?"
Seeing that Feng Hao didn't speak for a long time, Le Tian shouted excitedly. His eyes shone with a strange light.
The Void Martial Arts was one of the three great Lord Gods of the Human Race. His peerless figure was left in the ancient books and no one could ignore it. In fact, there were even records of the Void Martial Arts defeating the Supreme Lord Gods of other races.
However, it was a pity that all the races in the Hundred Races Continent seemed to have a kind of curse. They couldn't become supreme beings that were on par with the Great Way of the Heavens and Earth.
Therefore, even though the Void Martial Arts had peerless talent, he still couldn't take that step and could only remain as a god.
However, no one dared to underestimate the Void Martial Arts. Because as long as the three great Lord Gods of the Human Race were present, they could use the Ancient Divine Weapon … the Nuwa Stone. Even a supreme being couldn't do anything about it.
