Just as the old man finished speaking, there was a commotion in the auction house. Countless peak Dou Zhe practitioners looked greedily at the jade bottles on the auction stage.
This kind of elixir that could break through barriers was something that could only be found by chance. Furthermore, it was a supreme-grade elixir. Compared to a breakthrough, the price was nothing. Compared to the Spirit Cleansing Elixir, the Qi-gathering elixir was undoubtedly more attractive.
"Supreme-grade Spirit Cleansing Elixir, starting at one hundred and eighty thousand. Supreme-grade Qi-gathering elixir, starting at eight hundred thousand."
"One hundred and ninety thousand!"
"Two hundred thousand …"
In the end, the supreme-grade Spirit Cleansing Elixir was sold for two hundred and twenty thousand each. As for the supreme-grade Qi-gathering elixir, it was sold for nine hundred and fifty thousand each.
Even though the price was in the millions, Mu Qingxiao's expression remained unchanged. To him, money was just a number.
After the two bottles of elixir were sold, the next few items did not sell for high prices. Some items were even sold in one go.
On the auction stage, the old man's face was twitching. This was related to his commission.
Mu Qingxiao leaned back in his soft chair. He was extremely disappointed that there were no medicinal cauldrons up for auction. After all, this was the largest auction house in the Black-Corner Region, and all the items were trash.
If the boss behind the auction house heard this, he would definitely point at his nose and scold him.
However, the next item on the auction stage caused Mu Qingxiao's eyes to narrow.
"The next item to be auctioned is rather peculiar. Even the auction house does not know what it is. However, after our analysis, we estimate that it is a treasure map."
With that, the white-haired old man took out a silver plate and lifted the brocade cloth. Following which, a tattered piece of ancient cloth appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Looking at the cloth on the silver plate, the auction house was silent for a moment before a wave of boos rang out.
There were only a few strange lines on the cloth, and they were extremely blurry. There were also no landmarks on it, so it could not be considered a map. Who knew if the auction house was using a tattered cloth to trick them?
The old man was actually a little depressed. They did not know if the tattered piece was a treasure map, but looking at the marks and strange lines on the parchment, it did not seem like an ordinary item.
Since they couldn't figure it out, they would let others figure it out. As for whether or not they could find anything, that had nothing to do with them.
Mu Qingxiao recognized the map the moment he saw it. He had two such map fragments in his storage space. "Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame!"
Even without the medicinal cauldron, this trip was worth it.
The Little Doctor also recognized the incomplete map. A slender hand stretched out from the black robe and tugged at his sleeve as a reminder.
Mu Qingxiao held her hand in his and scratched her palm. He said in a low voice, "I understand."
On the auction stage, the old man glanced at the painting before pulling it away.
"If I'm not wrong, this map should have been around for quite some time. Although I don't know what's in it, it's still an ancient item. It can't be an ordinary item. Many practitioners in the Dou Qi continent rely on luck and chance to become strong. This map might be your chance."
Almost all the guests scoffed at the old man's words.
On the auction stage, the old man's spittle flew everywhere as he continued to explain how mysterious the map was. However, it didn't seem to have much effect. Some of the guests even became impatient.
In the end, the old man had no choice but to open his mouth and say, "According to the price, the bidding price for this map fragment is two hundred thousand. The auction starts now."
As the old man finished speaking, the auction house became silent. Many people glanced at the old man as if they were looking at an old man with dementia. Who would spend two hundred thousand to buy a map fragment that had no clues?
No matter how rich a person was, they probably wouldn't buy it. This was a matter of reputation.
Just as the old man was about to take the map fragment down, a calm voice sounded from the first class VIP box, "Two hundred and ten thousand."
As the bidding voice sounded, everyone's gazes gathered on the box. As for the guests on the first floor, they raised their heads to look at the second floor. Their eyes were filled with shock. There really was a sucker!
Not only the ordinary guests, but even some of the stronger forces in the 'Black-Corner Region' looked at them with astonished gazes.
On the auction stage, the old man finally saw that someone had placed a bid. He finally let out a sigh of relief. This map was his humiliation. Now that he could sell it, he was happier than anyone else.
"This sir has placed a bid of two hundred and ten thousand. May I ask if there is anyone who wishes to increase the bid?"
Hearing the old man's words, almost everyone rolled their eyes. However, some of the people from the stronger forces appeared to be deep in thought. Could it really be an ancient treasure map?
A moment later, there was still no one who increased the bid. The old man smiled embarrassedly. After which, he smashed the auction hammer and gave the final word, "Sold. Congratulations sir for bidding for an ancient treasure map. Please bring your VIP card to the backstage to collect it after the auction has ended."
After the map fragment was auctioned, Mu Qingxiao could sense that there were obscure gazes being thrown over from the second floor and even higher floors. However, he ignored them all.
After a short period of awkward silence, the waitress once again carried a silver plate over. The old man received it and pulled open the brocade cloth. A yellowed book appeared on it. Everyone's gazes were thrown over.
"Dark Xuan Palm, Xuan Class High Level Dou Technique … the starting bid is two million gold coins!"
Although a Xuan Class High Level Dou Technique could not be considered as the highest level Dou Technique in the 'Black-Corner Region', it was still extremely strong. Normally, only extremely strong forces would be able to take out a Xuan Class High Level Dou Technique.
After all, the next level would be a Di Class Dou Technique. However, a Di Class Dou Technique could only be encountered by chance and not sought. Even if there was a possibility, it would not fall into their hands.
"Two million and one hundred thousand!"
"Two million and four hundred thousand!"
"Two million and eight hundred thousand!"
The competition in the auction house was extremely intense. In the end, the Xuan Class High Level Dou Technique was won by the VIP in the top VIP room for four million and seven hundred thousand gold coins.
After the Xuan Class High Level Dou Technique was auctioned, the auction was nearing its end. The old man received the silver plate, took a deep breath and pulled open the brocade cloth. Immediately, a fragrance swept through the entire auction house.
In the VIP room, Mu Qingxiao slowly opened his eyes and looked toward the auction stage.
At this moment, the old man held the silver plate and looked at the fist-sized multi-colored fruit on the silver plate. His expression was excited as he said, "Rainbow Spiritual Fruit, a tier six spirit fruit. I believe that everyone has heard of its effects. After eating it, it has the miraculous effect of cleansing the marrow and meridians. Its value is immeasurable!"
After the old man finished speaking, the auction house was completely silent. After the silence, noise swept through the entire auction house like a wave.
The Rainbow Spiritual Fruit was a tier six fruit tree that grew in the extreme depths of the Magic Beast Mountain Range. It did indeed have the miraculous effect of cleansing the marrow and changing one's aptitude. Even someone as strong as Dou Ling yearned for the Rainbow Spiritual Fruit even in his dreams.
Cleansing the marrow and changing one's aptitude meant that one had obtained the opportunity to soar into the sky. The level of one's aptitude represented how far one could walk on the path of cultivation in the future.
It was said that when the Rainbow Spiritual Fruit matured, there would be a tier six Magic Beast guarding under the spirit tree. It was unexpected that the auction house was even able to obtain this kind of spirit fruit. Its background was really terrifying.
Thinking up to here, some of the cultivators who had their eyes on the Rainbow Spiritual Fruit all calmed down. At the very least, they did not dare to be presumptuous in the auction house.
