This was the most commonly used method, as well as an invisible message.
Often, the value and preciousness of the first auction item represented the quality and quality of the items that would be auctioned in the later stages of the auction. It also meant that in the later stages of the auction, almost every auction item would be worth more than a million spirit stones. This kind of invisible message made many cultivators with hundreds of millions of spirit stones burning in their hearts.
They felt that this trip to the Ling Long Pavilion was worth it.
"4.5 million going thrice, sold!"
When Le Tian's gavel fell, the ten-thousand-year-old blood coral was finally sold to an old man in his eighties for a sky-high price of 4.5 million spirit stones.
Then, a maidservant delivered the blood coral to him. The payment for the goods was settled! The transaction was done cleanly without the slightest bit of sloppiness. In the blink of an eye, the first auction item had already been won.
On the stage, Le Tian's smile did not fade. He was even more delighted with the big deal that had just been completed. The smile on his face became even more radiant. With a wave of his hand, the second auction item was placed on the counter.
It was a shuttle-shaped magic tool. Although it was only a magic tool, it was a high-grade flying magic tool. In terms of value, it was not inferior to any top-grade magic tool or low-grade magic tool. It could be said that it was an excellent treasure for cultivators below the Core Formation stage.
"The Cloud-Piercing Shuttle can reach a speed of one thousand spirit stones. It can accommodate three people and has a formation that blocks divine sense. It is suitable for all cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage. It is a rare flying magic tool. The starting price is ten thousand spirit stones. Each increment must be at least one thousand spirit stones. Now, please bid! "
As Di Shitian expected, after the first ten-thousand-year-old blood coral, the second auction item immediately began to decline in value. It was almost incomparable. Although cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage might not care about this Cloud-Piercing Shuttle, for cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage, it was no less than a top-grade magic tool. It was a good treasure for escaping. It was suitable for cultivators who were still at the lower levels.
At this moment, low-level cultivators like this actually made up the majority in the auction hall. They could not compete for the ten-thousand-year-old blood coral, nor did they have the wealth to compete for it. However, the magic tool in front of them was not only a fine item, but also one that they could use. On the spot, it ignited the passion in their hearts. Their eyes lit up.
"Eleven thousand!!"
"Alright, this fellow daoist offers 11,000 crystals. Are there any higher bids?"
"Thirteen thousand!!"
"Ten thousand …"
It could be said that the auction was unprecedentedly hot. Shouts after shouts directly pushed the price of each auction item up. In the blink of an eye, the price of each item had exceeded its own value.
Madness. At this moment, people were constantly calling out bids in the auction house. The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder. It was even more intense than a battlefield. What were they competing for? They were competing for wealth and resources. This was a war without bloodshed.
The auction was conducted in an orderly manner. One by one, the auction items passed through the auction stage like flowing water. The items that the Ling Long Pavilion took out could all be said to be of high quality. None of them were of poor quality. Even the worst was a High Grade Magic Tool. Some of the Magic Tools' functions caused even more intense competition.
In this fiery atmosphere, the auction items were successfully sold one after another. After half a day, more than a hundred thousand items were sold.
However, almost all of the people bidding were the cultivators sitting in the public seats below. Above, none of the VIPs in the thousand VIP rooms made a bid. They didn't seem to be interested in the auction items in front of them. They just waited quietly in silence.
Those in the VIP rooms were probably wealthier and had a higher status than the other cultivators. Naturally, the higher one stood, the better one's perspective. The items that were being hotly contested below might be rare treasures in the eyes of ordinary cultivators, but in the eyes of the VIPs, those were just things that could be easily obtained. Why would they lower themselves to compete with others for those things?
They were looking at the treasures that were sold in the later stages of the auction. Those were the real treasures. No matter how many items were sold in the earlier stages, they couldn't compare to the later ones.
Wait!! They were all waiting!
Waiting for the last few days of the auction.
"Tsk tsk!! This Ling Long Pavilion is really impressive. Not only did they set up the Spatial Mustard Seed Divine Ability, but they also have the ability to reverse time and space. No matter how I look at it, they seem to have the shadow of Heavenly Demon Ziyue from back then. "
Suddenly, Dark's slightly surprised voice sounded in Di Shitian's ears. There was a trace of surprise in his voice.
"Reverse time and space? Heavenly Demon Ziyue? "
When Di Shitian heard that, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned. He hurriedly swept his gaze around, wanting to sense the surrounding time and space, but he found that he couldn't find anything. It seemed to be the same as usual.
"Crazy Di, don't waste your energy. The array formation here is very ingenious. Although it's not as good as your Exquisite Creation Pagoda, it's difficult for even immortals to detect it, let alone you. Even I only discovered it by accident now. I was almost fooled. Tsk tsk, amazing, amazing. It made one day feel like ten days had passed. No wonder, no wonder it could auction more than a hundred thousand items in less than half a day. It even hid it from everyone. "
'Nether' clicked her tongue and shouted with interest.
From what it said, it seemed that in here, it could make one day longer. One day could be compared to ten days. However, one day was still one day. To turn ten days into one day was a strange ability. No wonder, no wonder the Ling Long Pavilion could finish such a huge auction in a few days.
"Heavenly Demon Ziyue, could it be that the Ling Long Pavilion is related to her?"
Di Shitian took a deep breath, and the look in his eyes gradually turned serious. He still remembered that in the Heavenly Demon Secret Realm, Heavenly Demon Ziyue's Primordial Spirit Imprint left behind in the Exquisite Pagoda said, "We will meet again."
At that time, he only found it strange. Now, he couldn't help but ponder it.
"Could it be that Heavenly Demon Ziyue really didn't die? Just as Ming said, so long as one attains the Undying Realm in this world, then an expert like a Heavenly Demon is practically impossible to be destroyed by the heavens and buried by the earth. Even if one's body perishes, but his soul remains, he still has a chance to be reincarnated. "
He thought quickly in his mind. Indeed, the Heavenly Demon was said to have an Undying Body. Even if there was only a drop of blood left, there was still the possibility of resurrection. It was not possible to kill an Undying expert with ordinary means. He vaguely felt that Ziyue's words might become a reality.
"If you return, what kind of attitude will you have when you return?"
After a long time, Di Shitian slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air in his chest. The look in his eyes was unusually deep, as if it contained endless mysteries. He stopped thinking about it and put his attention on the auction in front of him.
In the blink of an eye, two days passed. One day was equivalent to ten days in the outside world, and two days passed quietly. No, it should be said that it passed in the midst of intense competition.
In these two days, the auction items flashed before his eyes like flowing water. It could be seen that the value and preciousness of each auction item was constantly rising, becoming more and more precious and rare.
Finally, on the third day.
Le Tian revealed the first treasure of the day.
"Wow, the specks of starlight are as dreamy as sand. Could this be the Stellar Essence that can only be found in the vast starry sky?"
"What a treasure. As long as a little of it is added to any treasure, it can raise its grade by one level. It can also draw in the power of the stars. This is a treasure that can't be bought even with Spirit Stones. "
"There is actually a whole box. The Ling Long Pavilion is indeed very resourceful."
As soon as the treasure was revealed, there was a burst of exclamations.
"It's the Stellar Essence. I didn't expect the Ling Long Pavilion to have so much. This is good stuff. I'm going to take it, "Di Shitian's eyes flashed, and he said decisively without hesitation. He raised his eyebrows, and a domineering aura rose naturally, as if he did not allow anyone to question him. It was as if the Stellar Essence had already become his private property the moment he opened his mouth.
"It is indeed a supreme-grade material for refining, but I'm afraid the price is not cheap." The white fox chuckled as she looked at Sakra, her right hand naturally fiddling with her bangs. A seduction that had long been ingrained in her bones that even the 'Illusory Mirage' could not conceal was inadvertently revealed through her words and actions as she said, "Shitian, I have two large spirit veins near Mount Qingqiu. The spirit stones that I have accumulated over the years are also considered abundant. I have fifty million here, if you need them, just ask me."
She smiled faintly, revealing an expression that said, "I'll support you no matter what you do."
Di Shitian nodded.
"This is the Stellar Essence. It is gathered from the stars, and it takes a lot of effort to condense it. It is extremely precious, and is an excellent material for refining weapons. Its grade is mid-Immortal-grade. The starting price is thirty million, and each bid must not be less than one million. There is no limit. Now, please raise the price! "
Le Tian's expression was gradually becoming more and more excited. The consecutive days of auctions did not tire him, but instead made him even more excited. He felt a great sense of accomplishment with every item he sold. After he finished speaking, his eyes swept over the VIP rooms above. This was the real start of the auction. The ones before were just appetizers.
"Thirty-five million!"
As expected, when the Stellar Essence was revealed, those seated below in the public area fell silent. They understood that their competition was over. Now, the ones who would be competing would be the big shots from the thousand VIP rooms above. The main course was about to be put on the stage. Compared to what they were doing now, they were just small fries. The big shots were still at the back.
"Alright, number thirty-seven bids thirty-five million. Thirty-five million, is there anyone who wants to go higher?" Le Tian's eyes lit up, and he called out loudly. At this moment, there were numbers in front that represented each person's identity. This number was only available in the VIP rooms. A number represented a VIP room. Just now, the first person to bid was in VIP room thirty-seven.
In that VIP room, Ao Chen, whose face and body carried a towering arrogance, was sitting there. Looking at his appearance, he actually didn't have the appearance of an old man who had a large amount of vitality sucked away by the curse technique 'Withering Glory'. Moreover, he had recovered his original appearance, which could be considered miraculous.
His eyes were fixed on the box of Stellar Essence. He wanted to obtain it so that he could use it to upgrade his Natal Sword.
"Number thirty-seven, I think I saw Ao Chen go in. Then it should be him. Interesting. Then let me join in the fun. " In VIP Room No. 40, a mischievous, beautiful, barefoot witch was sitting in a pavilion. She reached out and pinched a ball of spirit light, blinked her eyes, and murmured to herself with a crafty expression.
"Thirty-six million!"
Slightly changing her voice, a slightly rough female voice echoed in the auction venue.
"Number forty, number forty bids thirty-six million. Is there anyone who wants to go higher?"
"Hmph, how dare you compete with me." Ao Chen raised his eyebrows and exuded his arrogance. He coldly snorted and called out a price again. "Forty million, my Sky Sword Valley will take this Stellar Essence." There was a sharp sword intent in his voice, and he did not hesitate to mention the power behind him. He wanted to directly take out a carriage. He unceremoniously expressed, "I am the Sky Sword Valley of the Four Great Holy Lands. Who dares to compete with me?"
"Power!"
"This is power!"
As soon as he said this, the entire auction venue fell silent. Even the gazes that were looking at the VIP room where Ao Chen was became extremely unusual. It made many people shiver in fear. The incomparable silence made the voice reverberate in the air.
Sometimes, in an auction, it was not only about wealth, but also strength and power. These were invisible assets, a strong foundation and a huge deterrent.
Now that Ao Chen directly mentioned the Sky Sword Valley, anyone who wanted to compete with him for the Stellar Essence would have to think carefully about whether they could withstand the anger of one of the Four Great Holy Lands. Who knew if they would bring disaster to themselves. If they wanted to compete, they would first have to assess whether they had the ability to do so.
The effect was obvious. From the silent scene, it could be seen that the name of the Four Great Holy Lands had an immeasurable deterrent force.
"Hmph, fifty million! A mere Holy Land is like duckweed to me. You are not qualified to suppress me with a Holy Land! "
Di Shitian coldly snorted and spat out a sentence full of disdain. His tone was as if he had seen a fly that he hated. He casually waved his hand.
"Four Great Holy Lands?" A glint flashed in Di Shitian's eyes. Although the Holy Land was strong, it was simply a dream to suppress everyone. Not to mention that they were not in the Sky Tower, even if they were, he would not be afraid. Ao Chen. The moment he opened his mouth, he could already tell that the person was Ao Chen. There was no one else who could have that kind of arrogance other than him.
Give in?
Impossible. The so-called Four Great Holy Lands could not suppress him. This was an auction. They were competing with financial resources. Since he could not fight head-on, he would use spiritual stones to smash him to death. With the Source of Life in hand, one Source of Life was equivalent to most treasures. Let's see if you have more spiritual stones or my Source of Life. I will play with you. I will smash you to death with spiritual stones.
Tit for tat, no mercy.
"How dare you go against me." A cold glint flashed in Ao Chen's eyes. He instantly looked at Di Shitian's position. His gaze was so sharp that it seemed to pierce through the barrier of the VIP room. After a long time, he coldly spat out, "Sixty million!"
"Eighty million!"
Di Shi Tian didn't even have a trace of hesitation as he immediately added two thousand.
"You —"
Ao Chen's eyes were about to spit fire. Sword Qi surrounded his body. He was so angry that he wanted to attack. However, he seemed to know where he was. He took a few deep breaths and finally suppressed it. He coldly said, "Eighty-one million!"
"Eighty-five million!"
"Eighty-eight million!"
At this moment, the entire auction seemed to have turned into a battlefield between Di Shi Tian and Ao Chen. They were facing each other with equal harshness, and there was a dense smell of gunpowder in the air. They scrambled to be the first to raise the price. As for the people in the other VIP rooms, they seemed to be frightened by the crazy bidding. No one interfered. They were all watching the fierce battle.
"Ninety-nine million!"
After Ao Chen made his bid, Di Shitian immediately called out a new price. He did not give Ao Chen any time to react. It was a battle of life and death. He did not give Ao Chen any chance to breathe.
"One hundred million!"
Just as Di Shitian expected, Ao Chen blurted out the number 'one hundred million'.
Suddenly, the surroundings were silent. Di Shitian, who was originally at odds with Ao Chen, was strangely silent. He did not respond to Ao Chen's words as usual. This made Ao Chen's fist that he had been accumulating power for a long time seemed to hit the air. His enemy did not see it.
"Hehe, one hundred million? This box of Star Essence is really expensive. Sky Sword Valley is really rich. I won't fight with you. I'll let you have it, "Di Shitian said calmly.
When Ao Chen heard this, it was like a heavy slap to his face. His face was red. His face was yellow and white. The blood in his chest was boiling, and he was about to spit out a mouthful of blood.
He fell into a trap!
He had actually forced him to eat the fruit himself.
"Aochen is really stupid. Although his strength isn't bad, he didn't take a look at where he is. He got hot-headed and fell into someone's trap. Hehe, interesting. Who is so bold as to not even put the Four Great Holy Lands in his eyes? Not only did he go tit for tat, he even directly tricked that guy. One hundred million Spirit Stones to buy a box of Star Essence? I'm afraid you can buy two boxes. "
Ding Dang chuckled and tapped his lips. A strange light flashed in his eyes as he glanced at VIP room 14 with interest.
Although the Star Essence was precious, its real price should be around fifty to sixty million Spirit Stones. With one hundred million Spirit Stones, if it was done well, they could even get their hands on two boxes.
This time, it could be said that Ao Chen had been slapped in the face and suffered a great loss.
Di Shitian, who had already given up, smiled calmly. He was not depressed at all. Instead, he revealed an inexplicable expression. "Four Great Holy Lands, huh? Sooner or later, I'll make you kneel at my feet. I'll remember this for now. "
As expected, when the Star Essence was raised to such a high price, no one else was stupid enough to raise the price. In the end, when it landed in Ao Chen's hands, he was given double the price. When he received the Star Essence, he was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.
The auction continued. What followed could be said to be brilliant. After the appearance of the Star Essence Gold, one after another rare treasures appeared one after another. Fierce confrontations took place in each of the VIP rooms.
[Everyone, please give me two days to adjust. It's really too tiring to keep up with the continuous updates. My body can't take it anymore, as long as the weather turns cold.]
