In the enormous auction house, the atmosphere was unusually complicated. Tension, pressure, and excitement all merged into one. The auction stage under the attention of tens of thousands of people was filled with a solemn atmosphere, causing people to not dare to easily approach it.
It was no wonder that the security of the auction house was so tight. It was just that the value of this High Level Intent Dou Technique was too high. After all, under the Sheng class, the High Level Intent Dou Technique was the strongest. This kind of Qi Method Dou Technique had not appeared on the continent for a long time. As for the Sheng class, it was even more of a fantasy. Now that this High Level Intent Dou Technique had appeared in the world, it was inevitable that some unjust people would be attracted to it. The way the auction house did it was to protect its own interests.
"Ke ke, I've let everyone see a joke. The next item to be auctioned is a little strange. However, at the same time, it is also the finale of this auction. A scroll of High Level Intent Dou Technique. I believe that there are quite a number of people seated here who have come for it."
Xiao Kuo's face was filled with a smile as he slowly scanned the entire crowd. Immediately, his palm once again pressed against the stone stage in front of him. A thought passed through his mind and a suction force immediately surged out from his palm. The gazes of the entire crowd also turned. Within the private room, Xiao Yan and the others similarly stared intently at the spot where the palm was pressed against the stone stage. The instant the old man slowly raised his hand, a ray of light was also caught in his hand.
As the ray of light entered his hand, the countless number of gazes in the entire auction house instantly gathered like spotlights. On the auction stage, Xiao Kuo's face was filled with a smile as he slowly released the thing in his hand and threw it into the air.
Everyone's gazes looked over. What entered their eyes was a seemingly ordinary stone pillar. There did not seem to be anything unusual about it. Immediately, some people frowned. Their faces were filled with suspicion as they sized up the stone pillar. After which, they threw their gazes toward Xiao Kuo on the stage.
Seeing this, Xiao Kuo smiled faintly and said,
"Ke ke, just as everyone has seen, this is the highlight of this auction. It is also the reason why quite a number of people have come here. It is …"
As he said these words, Xiao Kuo slowly raised his hand. His gaze swept across the entire auction house. The smile in his eyes became increasingly dense. Soon after, a low and deep voice was spat out from his mouth as his finger gently tapped on the stone pillar.
"Bang!"
The stone pillar exploded, and an ancient aura quickly spread out. A scroll that had been sealed in the stone pillar for an unknown number of years was also exposed to the air and reflected in the eyes of everyone present.
"High Level Intent Battle Technique, Thousand Sealing Ruler!"
The low and deep voice was just like a heavy bomb that instantly exploded within this enormous auction ground. An invisible storm swept across the enormous space. Countless number of exclamations sounded out. Greedy and heated gazes shot over explosively. Countless number of people stared intently at the ancient scroll on the auction stage. Amongst them included those factions that possessed quite a great amount of power within the VIP rooms in front of the viewing gallery.
Feeling the sudden chaos and commotion in the auction house, the array masters in golden robes around the auction stage tightened their faces slightly. They changed the gestures in their hands in unison. Immediately after, light pillars suddenly rose from the bodies of these array masters. The shocking light complemented the tyrannical aura emitted from the array, causing some people who were a little closer to them to feel a chill in their hearts. Their thoughts immediately became a lot clearer.
"Buzz!"
It was also at this moment that a majestic aura suddenly burst out from Xiao Kuo's body on the auction stage. A pair of deep eyes slowly swept across the auction ground. Following his gaze, the previously chaotic and fiery atmosphere in the auction ground rapidly cooled down as if it had fallen into an ice cellar in the blink of an eye. Everyone in the auction ground also quickly quieted down.
Countless obscure gazes gathered on the stage, staring intently at the scroll in front of Xiao Kuo. The impulse in their hearts was forcefully suppressed. No one present dared to ignore the pressure of a Source Venerate.
At the same time, in the private room that Xiao Yan was in, the latter was currently standing in front of his seat. His gaze was similar to that of many people in the outside world, staring intently at the scroll floating in midair on the stage. An excited expression involuntarily surfaced on his originally indifferent face.
"Tsk tsk, high level Intent Level. What a big deal. My Ouyang clan is not willing to take out a Dou Technique of this level to auction. Unfortunately, although its level is high, this type of Dou Technique is too unorthodox and does not attract me. However … brother Xiao, how confident are you in obtaining it?"
His gaze immediately landed on Xiao Yan by the side. He had seen Xiao Yan's Heavy Xuan Ruler before. It was used in a grand manner and possessed a great strength. Its strength was extraordinary. At this moment, the Thousand Sealing Ruler in the arena was a ruler technique Dou Technique. It could be said that it was tailor-made for Xiao Yan. Once he obtained this Dou Technique, Xiao Yan's fighting strength would undoubtedly advance to a new level!
Xiao Yan was slightly startled when he heard this. He immediately smiled bitterly and shook his head. Although the Thousand Sealing Ruler in front of him was indeed quite tempting, he was embarrassingly short of money. It was likely that he had no chance of competing with the other experts present.
After such a long period of auction, Xiao Yan had already handed over the remaining seven rank 7 medicinal pills he had with him during the auction of the 'Manifestation Pill'. In order to compete with the person from the Pill Tower during the auction process, he had already exhausted more than half of the Spirit Stones in his hand. The current him was even poorer than some of the people in the viewing gallery. Where would he find the capital to participate in the competition for the Thousand Sealing Ruler?
"Ugh …"
Even Ouyang Miao could not help but be stunned for a moment when he heard Xiao Yan's words. A strange expression immediately surfaced on his face. He had actually run out of capital before the final moment of the auction when he participated in an auction of this level. Moreover, this was with his identity as an alchemist. This was a little too dramatic. If these words were to be heard by others, it was likely that he would be mocked.
Xiao Yan helplessly shrugged his shoulders in the face of this. The main purpose of their trip this time around was originally for the Sumeru Grass. If it were not for a moment of interest, they would not have hurried to the auction ground. Who would have expected that they would actually encounter such a situation. The appearance of a high level Will Class Dou Technique was even more difficult to predict. How could they have made preparations in advance?
"Ke ke, Mister Xiao Yan need not be worried. You can just ask. Although our An clan does not have a foundation like the Zhao clan, we will definitely do our best to help Mister Xiao Yan if you need anything."
At this moment, Annan, who was seated in front of him, suddenly turned his head around and smiled at Xiao Yan. The meaning behind his words could be considered to have made his position clear.
Although the An and Zhao clans were both subordinate to the Xiao clan, at the end of the day, they were doing so for the benefit of their respective clans. Just like how the Zhao clan relied on the three great inner court leaders behind Xiao Tian, the An clan similarly needed their own backing within the Xiao clan.
Over the past few years, ever since Zhao Jin's cultivation had broken through to the Source Venerate level, the Zhao clan had relied on the identity of the three clan leaders within the clan to rise. The status of the clan changed with each passing day. Even some of the elders within the Xiao clan who were in charge of external affairs had no choice but to give some face to this foreign clan. The An clan and the Xiao clan were like fire and water. Naturally, their situation was not much better. Additionally, there was no one in the clan who could help them. Their days under the rule of the Xiao clan had become increasingly tense. If this continued, there would come a day when they would be swallowed up by the Zhao clan.
Currently, in this huge clan, this somewhat skinny young man in front of them was actually able to stand up to the three elders who held great authority. He was even able to chat cheerfully and humorously with the heir of the Ouyang clan. It was difficult to find another person with such boldness even in the entire Central Region. Thus, Xiao Yan had naturally become the pillar that Annan had found for his clan.
Xiao Yan's appearance had given the An clan an opportunity to turn over a new leaf. Hence, since the latter had a need, the An clan would definitely not pass on this responsibility!
Everyone present was an intelligent person. Everyone roughly understood the meaning behind Annan's words. Ouyang Miao smiled faintly and turned his gaze toward Xiao Yan. The latter also appeared to be deep in thought as he paused. Immediately, he raised his head and looked at Annan in front of him with a smile.
"In that case, we will rely on the An clan leader."
The moment these words were spoken, the few people present immediately laughed out loud. Everyone looked at each other with a tacit understanding. Only Lian Er, who was pouting her small mouth and muttering by the side, had an expression as though she did not fully understand. She appeared extremely adorable.
"Ha ha, due to the unique value of this ruler technique Dou Technique, the auction house has a rule that only items of similar or equal value can be auctioned. If a bid is made using spirit stones, it must be high grade spirit stones."
At this moment, Xiao Kuo on the auction stage spoke once again. His words immediately attracted the gazes of Xiao Yan and the others, who were chatting and laughing in the private room.
"In that case … everyone, please make your bids!"
