Xiao Lingyu's appearance was a little special, but that did not affect him from entering the city. He only had to pay five low-grade god stones.
The auction would start in a few days, so Xiao Lingyu first found an inn where cultivators could rest and meditate. He asked for a quiet room and then began to recover his strength.
Just when he had recovered to eighty percent of his power, the auction finally began.
The auction was divided into three levels. One was for cultivators below the God Monarch stage, one was for cultivators below the God Emperor stage, and the last level was for God Emperors and Sheng Gods.
The auction for cultivators below the God Monarch stage was held in an open-air plaza in the city. At this time, the plaza was brightly lit and there was no place to stand in the plaza.
The auction for God Monarchs and God Kings was held in a sealed auction hall. The space inside was extremely large and was no less than ten thousand feet wide, but it was also filled with people.
As for the auction for God Emperors and Saint Gods, it was held in a large but luxuriously decorated hall.
However, the highest level auction venue, which was the hall where the god emperor and the Sacred God were located, was not a place that could be easily deceived.
With Xiao Lingyu's current strength, the materials he needed were not low level. Naturally, he had to participate in the auction for God Emperors and Saint Gods.
Originally, Xiao Lingyu had a headache. To enter the high level auction hall, he had to check whether the cultivators had the strength of a God Emperor. However, he saw a human expert at the entrance of the hall.
That human expert also accepted the inspection. However, the two God Emperor Realm experts guarding the entrance did not stop him from doing so.
Could it be that human cultivators could also enter?
Thus, Xiao Lingyu also walked to the door, and the two God Emperor Stage Night Devils passed him a transparent round ball with smiles on their faces.
Xiao Lingyu knew that this ball could be used to test a cultivator's strength. Cultivators only needed to inject some energy into the ball and the ball would release a light. Based on the color and intensity of the light, one could determine a cultivator's strength.
Xiao Lingyu didn't know if her skills could meet the conditions, but she still poured a stream of chaotic divine power into the ball.
At first, the sphere didn't react at all. It was still in a transparent state, but then it suddenly trembled and released seven-colored divine light.
The two protectors kept the round ball with satisfaction. One of them said: "Your Excellency is a Middle Stage God Emperor. You can enter now."
After that, Xiao Lingyu entered the hall. Those two protectors did not even allow him to remove his cloak for inspection. As for how they determined that he was a Middle Stage God Emperor, Xiao Lingyu did not have to consider it.
However, Xiao Lingyu noticed that the Human Race expert who entered the hall not only caused the ball to release nine-colored light, but the light was also very strong. This was enough to prove that the person who entered the hall was definitely a Saint God expert. It was just that Xiao Lingyu had never seen him in the narrow sense of the God World before.
There were many chairs in the hall and a few rooms that seemed to be separated by screens.
The seats were already filled with God Emperor experts from the Night Devil Clan. Most likely, there were Saint God experts in the other rooms.
When Xiao Lingyu arrived, only a few God Emperors from the Night Demons glanced at him. It didn't attract the attention of many cultivators.
He found a seat in the corner and sat down. After that, he waited quietly for the auction to begin.
After waiting for less than an hour, the curtains of the auction began. First, an expert from the Night Demons walked up the stage. After saying some nonsense, a female cultivator wearing a red robe walked up the stage.
From the reactions of the experts from the Night Demons below the stage, it could be seen that this woman should be considered a beauty among the Night Demons. But in Xiao Lingyu's eyes, her appearance was unsightly.
After that, many high-grade treasures were taken out for everyone to bid on.
Everyone present was an expert. All of them were self-aware. Even though they were bidding, they didn't appear to be noisy.
Just like the Human Race Auction, the best treasures would only appear at the end. But the level of this auction was higher. Everyone present was at least an Early Stage God Emperor. The organizer of the auction naturally wouldn't bring out some low-grade treasures to fool everyone. Even the first few treasures to be auctioned were all top-grade materials.
Xiao Lingyu wasn't interested in ordinary materials. Thus, he was patiently waiting in silence.
The experts in the rooms were also very calm. Six hours passed, and not a single one of them made a sound.
After the auction started for a total of ten hours, that female cultivator took out a jade box and smiled at everyone. "The treasure below is a unique material. It is very hard for us Night Demons to find it, but it is very useful to us Night Demons."
As she spoke, that Friar Nocturne slowly opened the jade box.
When the jade box was fully opened, a slightly bloated fruit with a unique shape floated out from the jade box.
That fruit was black and white in color. There were eight ginseng stalks growing vertically around it. Furthermore, every single one of them had a different color. Its entire body was covered in a dazzling light, making it seem incomparably mystical.
"There should be many who don't know what this item is. Let me tell everyone, it is called the Eight-Faced Exquisite Sacred Fruit. As for its use …"
At this point, that Friar Nocturne stopped keeping everyone in suspense. She smiled mysteriously and said, "There are two main uses. First, it can make everyone's God Emperor Void Spirits more condensed and filled with spirituality. Second, it can make everyone's Divine Infant more plump and stable, allowing it to contain more Deity Energy. It can also increase the strength of God Emperors to a certain extent. Frankly speaking, it is very helpful to all God Emperors. It is also quite beneficial to Saint Gods because it is also a high-grade material for concocting Sacred Pills. Its starting price is one million Deity crystals. Every increment must not be lower than 200,000 Deity crystals. Everyone, please start bidding. "
"One million and five hundred thousand Deity crystals!"
The moment the auctioneer, Friar Nocturne, finished speaking, a God Emperor Night Devil expert increased the price.
Following that, many God Emperors in the auction hall responded and continued bidding.
"Two million Deity crystals!"
"I bid two million and two hundred thousand!"
"Three million!"
"Three million and six hundred thousand!"
…
In less than a hundred breaths of time, the price of the Eight-Faced Exquisite Sacred Fruit had been raised to five million Deity crystals. Only then did the number of bidders decrease.
And Xiao Lingyu noticed that there was already an expert in the side room bidding. Furthermore, he was the one who bid five million Deity crystals.
"Six million Deity crystals!" A Night Devil God Emperor directly added a million Deity crystals.
"Eight million!" The person in the side room had a look of determination.
The God Emperors in the auction hall were all whispering amongst themselves. None of them increased the price.
Eight million Deity crystals wasn't a small sum. Even to a God Emperor, it wasn't an easy amount to take out. Furthermore, the cultivator in the side room was most likely a Saint God expert. No one dared to offend him.
"Eight million and two hundred thousand."
All the Night Devils cultivators fell silent. Xiao Lingyu shouted.
"Ten million." An indifferent voice came from the side room once again.
The Eight-Faced Exquisite Sacred Fruit's starting price of one million Deity crystals had actually increased to ten times its original price. The cultivators in the auction hall were all shocked. They all thought that only a Saint God expert could be so generous.
"Ten million and two hundred thousand." Xiao Lingyu remained silent for a moment before calling out another bid.
"Fifteen million."
The voice from the side room called out another bid. However, the amount of increment this time left everyone dumbfounded.
Although Xiao Lingyu was also determined to get the Eight-Faced Exquisite Sacred Fruit, he couldn't take out fifteen million Deity crystals in a short period of time. Furthermore, the auction wouldn't wait for him to gather enough Deity crystals. He could only give up for now.
Furthermore, even if he had more Deity crystals, he might not be able to get the Eight-Faced Exquisite Sacred Fruit. Looking at the way the other party was raising the price, it was likely that they wouldn't give up so easily. If he wanted to compete with a Saint God expert in terms of Deity crystals, he probably wouldn't be able to get it.
"The senior in the third side room has bid fifteen million Deity crystals. Everyone, is there anyone else who wants to increase the price?"
Friar Nocturne waited for five breaths of time. Then, she smiled and said, "Since there's no one who wants to increase the price, then …"
"Wait, I bid sixteen million Deity crystals." Another voice came from the side room.
"The guest in the sixth side room has increased the price. Sixteen million Deity crystals. Is there anyone who wants to increase the price?" Friar Nocturne was clearly a little excited.
"Twenty million." As soon as the auctioneer's voice fell, the cultivator in the third side room, who had been raising the price incessantly, called out again.
The cultivator in the sixth side room also waited for a while before calling out, "Twenty-two million."
All the cultivators, including the auctioneer, looked towards the third side room.
This was a battle of wealth between Saint God experts. Ordinary God Emperors could only watch helplessly.
"Thirty million!" The voice from the third side room was still strong and calm. He seemed to be full of confidence.
Everyone was stunned and felt a stifling sensation in their chests.
"Hehe, Fellow Daoist of the human race, don't compete with this old man. My Deity crystals were looted by my clan's descendants during the last invasion of Yong An. I don't feel the slightest burden when spending them."
While everyone was silent and surprised, a complacent laughter came from the third side room.
Xiao Lingyu and everyone finally understood why the female auctioneer called the expert in the third side room a senior and the expert in the sixth side room a distinguished guest.
"Then this old man will wait for the next treasures," the human Saint God in the sixth side room said helplessly.
As a result, the Eight-faced Exquisite Sacred Fruit belonged to the expert in the third side room. Friar Nocturne, who was in charge of the auction, personally delivered the jade box containing the Eight-faced Exquisite Sacred Fruit to the third side room. He then walked out with a satisfied look on his face. He must have received enough Deity crystals.
Although the later treasures were of higher quality, Xiao Lingyu was no longer in the mood to participate. His gaze was fixed on the third side room.
The Eight-faced Exquisite Sacred Fruit wasn't an ordinary material. It was something that could only be found by chance. Since he was lucky enough to come across it today, Xiao Lingyu definitely wouldn't let it fall into someone else's hands so easily.
