As soon as they entered the auction house, everyone's line of sight suddenly darkened. Everything around them was pitch-black. The walls and floor of the entire auction house were pitch-black.
Under the investigation of Xiao Yan's Spiritual Strength, he found that the walls and floor of the auction house were all built with inkstone. Moreover, from the visible lines on the ground and walls, it was likely that this auction house was built with an entire piece of inkstone.
Tsk tsk. To be able to build an auction house from an entire piece of inkstone in this kind of place, the Heavenly Cloud Chamber of Commerce's financial resources were truly terrifying.
Xiao Yan and the others followed Barbarian Xiong as they turned left and right before arriving in front of a pitch-black stone door.
Barbarian Xiong took a step forward and arrived in front of the stone door. He extended his hand and placed it on the stone door. The Dou Qi within his body circulated to his palm and was continuously poured into the stone door. The stone door slowly opened with a rumbling sound and a private room that was over a hundred square meters appeared in front of everyone.
Barbarian Xiong laughed heartily as he stepped to the side, allowing Xiao Yan to enter first. After that, he followed Liu Huabai and the others.
After entering, Liu Huabai looked at the four walls that were emitting a soft light. The white and smooth floor, as well as the rows of incomparably comfortable seats, Liu Huabai couldn't help but click his tongue in admiration.
"Tsk tsk, different people, the treatment is like the difference between heaven and earth! Every time I come here, I only get an intermediate private room. I didn't expect Senior to come here casually. Moreover, he didn't make any special requests, yet you've already prepared everything. Heh! Barbarian Xiong, it seems like you've already planned to curry favor with Senior Xiao, right? "
Hearing this, Barbarian Xiong grinned mischievously as his face turned ugly. Xiao Yan wasn't surprised by this. He first found a seat and sat down. After that, everyone else also took their seats. Barbarian Xiong didn't sit down. Instead, he walked to the wall that was emitting a faint fluorescent light. Dou Qi burst out from his hand once again.
Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows slightly. He could see that the wall, which was originally emitting a faint fluorescent light, had actually begun to become crystal clear at this moment. Circular water wave-like ripples spread apart, causing the entire wall to appear incomparably mysterious.
A moment later, a crystal screen appeared before everyone's eyes. Behind the screen was a spacious auction hall. The auction hall was currently filled to the brim. Waves of noise rang through the auction hall, making it seem extremely noisy.
A clear 'gong' sound slowly resounded within the auction ground. Following the 'gong' sound, the originally extremely noisy noise within the auction ground gradually weakened. Countless number of gazes were thrown towards the crystal platform. Their eyes were filled with a fiery heat.
At this moment, Barbarian Xiong's sturdy figure turned around and sat beside Xiao Yan on the seat that had been reserved for him. Together with everyone else, he looked at the auctioneer on the crystal stage.
"Haha. Everyone, I presume that you're already somewhat impatient from waiting. Since that's the case, this old man won't say any more official words to annoy you."
The white-haired old man dressed in luxurious clothes smiled as he looked at the black mass of heads in the auction house. Finally, his obscure gaze swept across the representatives of the factions from the other cities sitting in the front row. His loud and clear voice reverberated in the auction house endlessly.
As an experienced auctioneer, he naturally knew what the people below wanted to see, and what they didn't want to see. Therefore, he had directly thrown away the nonsense introduction of the opening ceremony. However, the old man's move had indeed won the cheers of the entire auction hall. At the very least, even the representatives from the other powers sitting in the front row had faintly nodded their heads.
"As the annual auction, I believe that our Tianyun Auction House has chosen Qingyang City as the main auction venue among all the other cities. I'm sure we won't disappoint you."
Just as the old man finished speaking, he clapped his hands once again and announced in a clear voice.
"This old man announces that Qingyang City's Heavenly Clouds Auction House will now begin!"
As the old man's clear voice fell, the huge crystal platform suddenly erupted with a dazzling light. After a long while, the strong light gradually dissipated.
At this moment, on the crystal platform in front of the white-haired old man, on the auction stage, there was a long sword that was entirely dark green with a hint of cyan. Under the illumination of the lights, it reflected an extremely cold and beautiful luster. Looking at the traces of energy circulating on the sword's body, it was obvious that the sword's power was extraordinary. It must have come from the hands of a famous master.
At this moment, the eyes of the people below the stage suddenly lit up. The white-haired old man was obviously very satisfied with this result. A satisfied smile appeared on his wrinkled old face, and his pair of shady old eyes narrowed into a thin line.
The old man looked at the people below and slowly introduced the sword.
"This sword is called the Jade Water Orchid Sword. It is cast with jade water and cyan gold. It can cut iron like mud and has the ability to disappear once it enters water. It is invisible in water and is extremely suitable for water attribute cultivators. If it is paired with a high level water attribute Dou Skill, its power will double! It was a divine weapon that was hard to come by! If you are interested, don't be stingy with the money in your pockets! Money had to be measured by one's strength. With strength, wouldn't money be as worthless as dirt? Haha. "
As the old man spoke, he held the Jade Water Orchid Sword in his hand. The sword body shook and a wave of ripples spread out around the sword body.
The old man's other hand waved in the air and the water vapor in the air turned into water droplets. The water droplets squeezed into a football-sized water ball in the old man's hand. With a wave of his hand, the water ball immediately spread out and covered the entire sword body.
In an instant, the Jade Water Orchid Sword disappeared under the eyes of the people.
In an instant, there was an uproar in the auction house. Everyone's fiery eyes were cast toward the white-haired old man standing on the crystal platform. The old man also knew the meaning of their eyes. He smiled slightly and said in a clear voice:
"The starting price is five hundred thousand gold coins. Everyone, please!"
"Jade Water Orchid Gold, huh. It's not bad."
Xiao Yan eyed the longsword and softly muttered. However, it did not attract much interest. When one's strength had reached his level, weapons were no longer that important. Moreover, he was already used to the Heavy Xuan Ruler, this kind of weapon which could be used to attack and suppress others with its strength. A longsword was too far away from his level of interest.
After all, this was only the beginning of the auction. The good stuff would naturally come later.
Of course, because of Xiao Yan's experience, these items did not catch his eye. However, it did not mean that others would not. This sword had already become a rare divine weapon in the eyes of many water attributed cultivators. Therefore, when the white-haired old man's voice fell, the auction house was filled with the sound of bidding.
"Congratulations, Little Brother, fifteen million! Get the Jade Water Orchid Sword! "
The bidding was very intense. It also caused the atmosphere in the auction house to rise rapidly. The first bidding lasted for a few minutes. Finally, the Jade Water Orchid Sword was successfully auctioned off by a slightly skinny man in green with a face full of excitement at the high price of fifteen million gold coins.
When Xiao Yan saw this, he shook his head continuously. For a sword, he just threw out ten million gold coins. How stupid was this cultivator? Instead of buying a sword, it would be better to buy some cultivation resources.
The first round of bidding was very fast and very short. After all, that sword was not suitable for all cultivators. Therefore, there were not many people bidding for it.
After a few more rounds of bidding, the auction had reached the middle stage. Finally, it was time for the people sitting in the front row to make their move. This time, when the auction item appeared, it attracted the attention of everyone present.
It was a medicinal pill. Moreover, it was a tier seven Zong Breaking Pill. It could increase the chances of a peak Dou Huang breaking through to the Dou Zong class by half. This caused everyone in the auction house to be extremely excited. Many cultivators whose strength had stopped at the peak of the Dou Huang class stared at the medicinal pill in the jade bottle on the stage with scarlet eyes. They almost rushed up to snatch it.
Even the Liu Clan, who had been quietly sitting in the high class private room, looked at the old man on the stage with shining eyes, waiting for him to announce the starting bid. When Xiao Yan saw this, he curled his lips and shook his head repeatedly. This caused Liu Huabai to smile awkwardly. There was nothing he could do. After all, the strongest person in the Liu Clan was only a Dou Zong.
At this moment, Barbarian Xiong had a serious expression as he looked at the Zong Breaking Pill. After bidding farewell to Xiao Yan, he walked out of the private room. Soon, under the direction of the white-haired old man, a new round of bidding finally began.
"The starting bid for this Zong Breaking Pill is five million gold coins."
The white-haired old man looked at the crowd below the stage and said in a tone that was neither light nor heavy. However, when these words came out, other than the few people sitting in the front row and a few others, the entire auction house instantly fell silent. However, the white-haired old man continued to look at the crowd below the stage with a smile and did not say a word.
After Barbarian Xiong killed the few cultivators who had tried to snatch the pill, everyone understood that the rest of the show belonged to the few large factions. Soon, the next round of bidding finally began.
"Twenty million!"
The first to bid was a white-clothed man sitting in the front row. He was the son of the City Lord of the city closest to Qingyang City. His name was Mo Bei, and he was an arrogant and despotic person. He had once tried to forcefully seize the Liu Family's truck, but because of his father, the Liu Family ended up leaving the matter unsettled.
After Mo Bei, many people began to bid one after another. The price of the seventh grade Zong Breaking Pill was actually raised to seventy million gold coins, and the owner of this price was Mo Bei.
Liu Huabai had also bid a few times during this period of time. Whenever he made a sound, the crowd would discover that there was actually someone in the private room that hadn't been opened for a long time. However, when Mo Bei heard Liu Huabai's voice, he coldly smiled and his originally slightly wrinkled brows carried a trace of ridicule.
In the end, Mo Bei's bid was still higher, and Liu Huabai was also suppressed by this high price.
Liu Huabai's face was gloomy as he took a deep breath. As if he had made a decision, he stood up once again and looked outside the screen.
"One hundred spirit coins."
When Mo Bei heard this, his pupils suddenly shrank. He no longer spoke and resentfully returned to his seat.
