After withdrawing a total of 20,000,000 Devil Crystals from the Chi Clan Auction House and a high-class VIP identity token, Xiao Lingyu left by himself and went to the nearby Elegant Fragrance Restaurant, and asked for a room to stay for the time being.
While meditating with her eyes closed, Xiao Lingyu couldn't help but look at the mountain of magic crystals in her storage magic treasure. She couldn't help but feel sorry for Tuoba Honglai … That cross-shaped sword could be sold for such a high price, but he was still stingy with a mere 70,000 magic crystals. In the end, not only did he not save the magic crystals, but he also lost the divine sword and his life.
The fate of cultivators often changed in an instant. When you couldn't care less, don't worry about it.
While Xiao Lingyu was waiting in peace, the various publicity channels of the Chi Clan Auction House were running at the same time. The news of a middle-grade divine sword being auctioned also spread through various channels. This news alone had attracted the attention of many big shots in the Devil Realm. They either came in person or sent their trusted aides. They were all determined to get this middle-grade divine sword.
Divine weapons were not rare in the Devil Realm, just like immortal weapons in the Cultivation World. However, most of the divine weapons were in the hands of Devil Emperors or Devil Sovereigns, and most of them were low-grade divine weapons.
For any big shot or big shot in the Devil Realm, a middle-grade divine weapon was of great significance to them. It could greatly enhance their strength.
The Giant Tank City was bustling to begin with. Now that the Chi Clan Auction House was holding a grand auction with great fanfare, it attracted many cultivators. In just a few days, the Giant Tank City became very crowded. Every restaurant and teahouse was filled with people.
More than three months later, the auction was held as scheduled. Countless cultivators poured into the Chi Clan Auction House.
Naturally, cultivators of various realms couldn't all squeeze into one auction house. As usual, the Chi Clan Auction House opened three auction houses.
The first auction house was on the third floor of the Chi Clan Auction House. There was no restriction on cultivation. Anyone could come.
The second auction house was on the fourth floor of the Chi Clan Auction House. One's cultivation had to be at least at the early stage of the True Devil Realm to enter. Moreover, everyone had to pay a high-grade magic stone.
The third auction house was on the fifth floor of the Chi Clan Auction House. It was also the highest level venue of this auction. To enter, one had to pay a top-grade magic stone and be at least at the early stage of the Profound Devil Realm.
In other words, everyone in the third auction house was an expert.
Xiao Lingyu also came to the Chi Clan Auction house before the auction began. He didn't want to join in the fun, but the Chi Clan Auction house had attracted countless rare treasures in such a grand event. Maybe he could use some of them. and now he was rich. If he didn't come and have a look, he would be tempted.
With Xiao Lingyu's current cultivation base of Chaotic Void Refining Stage and his overall strength no weaker than that of an early-stage Demon Monarch, he naturally didn't fancy the treasures that were going to be auctioned in the first and second auction houses. Therefore, he went directly to the fifth floor of the Chi Clan Auction House. After showing his VIP identity card, the two gatekeepers, who were both Demon Monarchs, let him in with a smile.
At this time, the third auction house was already full. Xiao Lingyu found a seat in a corner of the auction house and sat down. He then waited quietly.
The auction hall was oval in shape, with an empty space in the center. There was no auction platform or anything of the sort.
Near the center, there were more than a dozen rooms with high-level restrictions. They should be occupied by some very noble experts of the Devil Realm.
Half an hour after Xiao Lingyu sat down, the center of the auction house was suddenly illuminated by a beam of light. An old man wearing a red robe appeared. He had a joyful smile on his face and looked very festive.
"I'm Chi Rong. I'm the manager of the Chi Clan Auction House branch in Giant Tank City. On behalf of my Chi Clan Auction House, I would like to thank everyone for coming."
At this point, the old man Chi Rong bowed respectfully in all directions.
"I've made everyone wait for a long time. So, I won't say any more nonsense. Let's start the auction."
As Chi Rong spoke, he took out a jade box and slowly opened it. A wave of Demonic Qi rose from the jade box.
The auction began. After Chi Rong introduced the treasures, he announced the starting price for everyone to bid. The whole process was not much different from other auctions.
Xiao Lingyu's eyes were half closed and he looked sleepy. In fact, he was listening very carefully. However, he had no intention of bidding.
Although the treasures that Chi Rong took out were all rare treasures of extraordinary value, Xiao Lingyu's cultivation method was special. Those treasures were targeted at the needs of ordinary experts of the Devil Dao. Therefore, these treasures were not very useful to him and could not arouse his desire to bid.
On the other hand, the other cultivators in the auction house were all in high spirits. They shouted one after another, causing the smile on Chi Rong's face to become more and more intense.
Xiao Lingyu also noticed that the cultivators in the rooms in front of him rarely called out bids. Even if they did call out a price, it would be a high one. As long as someone competed with them, they wouldn't raise the price.
After a period of excitement, everyone gradually calmed down. However, the auction house did not want to see a calm auction house. Only when everyone became more and more excited could they continue to raise the price. Therefore, the experienced Chi Rong decided to auction a treasure in advance.
"Fellow cultivators, the item that will be auctioned now is a material. I believe everyone will be interested."
A transparent jade bottle that was one foot tall and half a foot in diameter appeared in Chi Rong's hand. Inside the jade bottle was more than half a bottle of dark golden liquid.
"This is more than half a bottle of True Dragon's Blood!" Chi Rong said in a loud voice.
The eyes of the cultivators in the auction house lit up, but they were not too excited. Although True Dragons were divine beasts, True Dragon's Blood was not difficult to obtain in the Devil World.
Chi Rong smiled faintly, then took a deep breath and continued, "I believe that many of our fellow Devil Emperors here know of a story. During the previous war between the Demon Realm and the Devil Realm, a Demon Emperor whose true form was a Five Clawed Golden Dragon used his unparalleled strength to kill his way into the Devil Realm and killed countless Devil Emperors of our Devil Realm. In the end, he forced three Devil Sovereigns of the Devil Realm to join forces and severely injured him before he retreated. At that time, that Demon Emperor had experienced countless bloody battles in our Devil World. Although he was powerful and his physical defense was comparable to a divine artifact, he still shed a lot of blood in the Devil World. The True Dragon's Blood in this bottle was left behind by that Demon Emperor! "
As soon as this was said, the entire auction house was in an uproar.
Xiao Lingyu's impatient expression was immediately swept away. Her eyes were fixed on the jade bottle in Chi Rong's hand.
The Chi Clan Auction House had never had a precedent of using shoddy goods to deceive the bidders. Every time a treasure was sent here, it would be appraised by the experts of the auction house. Therefore, no one doubted Chi Rong's words.
The higher the realm, the more the Devil World experts knew, the more they believed in the Chi Clan Auction House.
"The starting price of this half a bottle of True Dragon's Blood is five hundred thousand Devil Crystals. Each bid must not be lower than fifty thousand Devil Crystals …"
"One million Devil Crystals!"
Before Chi Rong finished speaking, someone in the VIP box in front had already anxiously bid. Moreover, he directly doubled the starting price.
"One million two hundred thousand!"
"One million three hundred thousand!"
Everyone was stunned, but then someone continued to bid.
True Dragon's Blood, and such a high grade True Dragon's Blood, was useful to any cultivator.
In less than twenty breaths of time since the start of the auction, the price of this half a bottle of True Dragon's Blood had skyrocketed to three million Devil Crystals, and it was still rising.
When the price reached five million Devil Crystals, there were very few people who continued to bid.
Although this True Dragon's Blood was good, not all the cultivators who came here had brought enough Devil Crystals.
Moreover, many experts who had brought enough Devil Crystals were here for the Divine Weapon. They did not want to use up too many Devil Crystals before the auction started.
At this point, the auction had just entered the second half. There might be other more precious treasures appearing later …
With these concerns, the truly powerful VIPs began to hesitate.
"Seven million Devil Crystals!"
Just as the price of that half a bottle of True Dragon's Blood began to slowly climb and gradually approached six million Devil Crystals, Xiao Lingyu spoke.
His words immediately silenced the entire crowd. Those VIPs who were still hesitating chose to give up.
Seven million Devil Crystals was already a sky-high price. Even a top sect like the Chepo Sect on the Blood Moon Mainland would not be able to take out seven million Devil Crystals at once.
"Seven million five hundred thousand!" After a while, a cultivator in a VIP box raised the price.
"Nine million!" Xiao Lingyu raised the price without hesitation. He was full of confidence and determined to win.
Either he did not open his mouth, or once he opened his mouth, he had to have an imposing and domineering aura. This kind of aura would deter others.
No one raised the price again. Chi Rong waited for close to fifty breaths of time before getting someone to deliver the jade bottle to Xiao Lingyu.
Xiao Lingyu calmly paid nine million Devil Crystals and then kept the jade bottle. Many cultivators in the auction hall looked in his direction.
The auction continued. Under Chi Rong's intentional control, the atmosphere in the auction hall was very tense. One treasure after another was won by everyone.
This kind of auction that could easily cost hundreds of thousands or even millions of Devil Crystals was considered to have broadened Xiao Lingyu's knowledge. At the same time, he also realized that for things like Devil Crystals, the more the better.
After waiting for another six hours, the auction finally entered the final stage. The finale treasures were revealed one after another.
First, there was a quasi-divine weapon that was auctioned for a high price of ten million Devil Crystals. Then, there was a low-grade divine elixir, followed by a low-grade divine armor …
These treasures that were worth more than ten million Devil Crystals could only be fought over by the major forces. The ordinary cultivators in the auction hall could only watch enviously. They did not have the slightest confidence to bid.
After obtaining the True Dragon's Blood, Xiao Lingyu did not make a sound. Although those treasures were good, they were not of much use to him. He was now only concerned about the value of the divine sword that he had put up for auction.
"Fellow cultivators, this auction is coming to an end. There is only one last treasure left. I believe that many of you are here for it. You should have prepared plenty of Devil Crystals. Now, let me show you this treasure!"
