As the sound of the bell slowly faded away, a circle of golden runes suddenly lit up on the auction stage. Soon after, the runes gradually spread until they covered the entire auction stage. Golden light suddenly flashed on the runes, and golden ripples rapidly climbed up like water waves. Finally, they formed a huge energy barrier that enveloped the entire auction stage.
Although Shuyang City's auction house was a subordinate force of the Xiao clan, there was no lack of powerful outlaws on the continent. Even if the auction house was under the Xiao clan's control, it would still give those outlaws an opportunity to take advantage of their carelessness.
Previously, when the group had just arrived, Xiao Yan had used his Spiritual Strength to roughly observe the situation. Soon after, he discovered that in the auction house, other than the two private rooms that they and the Zhao clan were in, there were at least three other private rooms that had people in them. Although he was unable to detect their auras, it was not difficult to guess that the strength of these people was at least at the same level as Annan, or even at the level of a Source Venerate.
In addition, with the continuous influx of people in the auction house, the seats in the auction house were almost fully occupied. At this moment, there were also a few extremely obscure auras present in the viewing platform. Since these people were able to conceal their strength from Xiao Yan's Spiritual Perception, if they were not at the level of a Source Zong, then they were experts who had used special secret techniques. These people were undoubtedly not easy to deal with.
With so many experts of such cultivation gathered in one place, even if Shuyang City was under the Xiao clan's control, they had to be extra careful.
As the energy barrier extended up the auction stage, a circle of golden light flickered in the middle of the auction stage. Gorgeous rays of light shot out in all directions, causing everyone present to involuntarily narrow their eyes. Their gazes were firmly fixed on the center of the light, where they could faintly see a figure.
When the light dissipated, an old man wearing a brocade robe appeared in front of everyone with a smile on his face.
The moment this person appeared, a vigorous and majestic pressure slowly spread out from his body. Under this terrifying pressure, all the noise in the huge auction house came to an abrupt halt. Countless gazes filled with various expressions gathered in one place. Everyone could not help but feel a chill in their hearts. It was as if the air had frozen, and the entire space had become silent.
"What a powerful aura!"
Xiao Yan's eyes shrank slightly. Although this private room was able to isolate all auras from the outside world, it did not hinder his Spiritual Perception. At this moment, he had just unleashed his Spiritual Strength when he immediately sensed the shocking pressure that filled the entire place. This mysterious old man in front of him was a Yuan Zun class expert!
"Yes."
Ouyang Miao nodded slightly. The old man's aura was so strong that he could tell that his cultivation was not inferior to Bai Rong, who had followed Bai Ruoxuan that day. In fact, he might even be slightly stronger.
"Xiao Kuo, Xiao Clan's Inner Pavilion Elder. He is currently in charge of all matters within and outside Shuyang City. He is also personally in charge of the Heavenly Auction House."
Annan said slowly as he looked at the old man who appeared on the auction stage.
"Haha, this old man is Xiao Kuo. I'm sure that many of you know me. This old man would like to thank everyone for your support in today's auction."
Xiao Kuo stepped forward and slowly swept his gaze across the room. His gaze paused slightly when it swept past certain places. Then, a hearty laughter rang out and resounded in everyone's ears.
The old man's words caused quite a number of people present to laugh. Other than the Xiao clan, Xiao Kuo had been in charge of Shuyang City for many years. Hence, he had come into contact with many people from various factions. At this moment, many of the experts present had some kind of deep or shallow relationship with him.
Hearing the laughter, Xiao Kuo smiled and turned his gaze. When his gaze swept past the private room where Xiao Yan and the others were, he paused for a moment. Almost at the same time, Xiao Yan, who was in the private room, suddenly narrowed his eyes and stared at Xiao Kuo. His entire body felt numb at this moment.
Although the two of them were separated by the private room, he did not know why, but at that moment, he had an illusion that he was completely exposed to Xiao Kuo's gaze.
"Haha, everyone, since we are all old friends, there is no need for this old man to explain the rules here …"
While Xiao Yan was being shocked in his heart, Xiao Kuo had already recovered his gaze. He once again looked at the arena and opened his mouth faintly in front of everyone's gazes at him. At the same time, a dense chill suddenly swept over everyone's hearts. Everyone's expressions changed. Some of their gazes, which originally contained an obscure glow, calmed down at this moment.
"Our auction will now begin. Next, I invite everyone to enjoy a grand auction!"
Ignoring the emotional gazes in the auction ground, Xiao Kuo opened his mouth with a smile. At the same time, a hand brushed across the empty space in front of him. Soon after, the empty space immediately twisted and transformed into a floating platform. A shriveled hand slowly imprinted itself on it. Immediately, a suction force surged from his palm. Under everyone's gazes, a mirror-like object was pulled out from the middle of the platform.
"The Universe Reincarnation Mirror originated from the hands of a peak Source Venerate. It contains a set of Dou Techniques. When used together with the Reincarnation Mirror, its strength is comparable to an Yi class Dou Technique."
Xiao Kuo gently waved his hand and tossed the mirror in his hand into the air as he softly laughed. The words from his mouth unsurprisingly stirred a wave of cheers in the auction ground.
The reason why most of the people in the auction ground had come today was because an Yi class Dou Technique would appear in this auction. However, it was unexpected that an Yi class Dou Technique had already appeared when the auction had just begun. However … an Yi class Dou Technique that could only be used together with a weapon would undoubtedly greatly reduce its value. It also caused many people, who were tempted, to abruptly halt their footsteps.
This kind of Dou Technique might be tempting, but asking them to change their weapons, which they had been using for many years, was no different from asking them to change their preferred hand. The gains did not make up for the losses.
On the stage, Xiao Kuo's old face did not reveal any surprise when he saw this. He merely smiled faintly and continued speaking.
"It is rumoured that the owner of this Universe Reincarnation Mirror had once relied on the cultivation of a Source Venerate to use this mirror to block an attack from a Source Sage expert …"
"Clamor!"
An uproar suddenly sounded in the auction ground after these words were spoken. Numerous heated gazes, which were competing with each other, instantly gathered on the ancient mirror. The emotions of everyone present also soared in an instant.
If the former could only cause them to be tempted, the words of Xiao Kuo at this moment were sufficient to break the final shackle in the hearts of everyone present!
In this world, anything that was related to the word Source Sage was destined to attract a countless number of people to go crazy over it, even if it was just a small part of it. This Universe Reincarnation Mirror in front of them was the best example!
Xiao Kuo's gaze slowly swept over the entire auction ground. He smiled with satisfaction when he saw the heated and intense gazes, which were like bloodthirsty ferocious beasts. He gently lifted the ancient mirror in his hand and a warm laughter spread.
"Ke ke, I think that everyone present already has an idea of the value of this item. Since that is the case, then … the starting price of the Universe Reincarnation Mirror is one hundred thousand spirit stones. Each increment must not be less than fifty thousand spirit stones. Everyone, please!"
