The first item to be auctioned, the Jade Bone Fruit, was a kind of fruit that was filled with a large amount of Dou Qi. After it was refined and swallowed, it could increase the practitioner's cultivation by a certain amount in the shortest amount of time. Of course, the amount of increase in one's cultivation was divided according to one's strength.
At that moment, the Jadebone Fruit being auctioned could at most increase the strength of a Half Martial Emperor by a tiny bit. However, it was precisely because of that that the vast majority of the people in the auction were Half Martial Emperors. Thus, the appearance of the Jadebone Fruit immediately attracted the fervent gazes of many people.
After hearing the old man's introduction, the emotions of everyone present were swiftly lifted. The originally somewhat solemn auction house immediately became lively. Numerous heated gazes were like eagle claws as they stared intently at the jade box in the old man's hand. At this moment, within the opened lid of the jade box, a fruit that was as white as jade was slowly lying within the jade box.
"Jade Bone Fruit. The starting price is eight hundred thousand Spirit Coins. The ceiling is five million!"
The old man's faint voice was slowly emitted from the stone platform. Soon after, the expressions on everyone's faces suddenly became dull when they heard this number. Everyone's hearts involuntarily paused for an instant. Eight hundred thousand Spirit Coins. They had already paid five hundred thousand Spirit Coins in order to enter this auction house. However, they did not expect that the price of the first auction item would be so high. It was really difficult to imagine just how high the price of the later auction items would be!
"Ladies and gentlemen, although the price we offered seems high, everything has to be based on one's strength. The Jadebone Fruit can help a Half Martial Emperor increase their strength by ten miles in the shortest amount of time without any side effects. This is something that eight hundred thousand spirit coins can't do no matter how hard you try."
"Money is merely a worldly possession. Using worldly possessions to exchange for permanent strength, I believe that everyone present has their own conclusions. No matter how good money is, it cannot be kept for one's entire life. It is even more impossible for it to save one's life at a critical moment. Don't forget that on this continent, strength is respected. As long as one has strength, would anyone be short of eight hundred thousand Spirit Coins?"
Seeing the hesitation on everyone's faces, the old man's expression was calm and his heart was incomparably calm. He did not know how many times he had seen such a scene and had experienced it many times. He could easily guess what the people present were worried about. Hence, after his words, all the indicators pointed towards the strength of the people present.
That's right, strength was respected in the Yuanwu Continent. With strength, who would care about eight hundred thousand Spirit Coins?
"I bid eight hundred thousand Spirit Coins!"
"Nine hundred thousand!"
"Nine hundred and fifty thousand!"
"One million!"
After a short moment of hesitation, the first cry was emitted from an unknown spot in the auction ground. Following which, repeated calls for bids sounded in the auction ground. Within a short moment, the value of the Jade Bone Fruit had far exceeded the starting price of eight hundred thousand Spirit Coins. It had even reached close to two million Spirit Coins. From this, one could see just how great an attraction this thing had to the people present.
Of course, other than this, the elite Dou Di who had witnessed all of this did not think so in their hearts. It was merely a Jade Bone Fruit. Although it was able to increase the strength of a Ban Di, it was merely a little. Two million Spirit Coins had already far exceeded the value of the Jade Bone Fruit.
"Three million Spirit Coins!"
Suddenly, just as the crowd in the auction ground was becoming increasingly intense, an auction that had exceeded everyone's expectations suddenly sounded from a certain spot on the stone stage. It was just like a sudden thunder that shook one's soul.
Those Ban Di experts on the stone stage, who were repeatedly raising the price, focused their eyes. They saw that the person who had spoken was a human figure wrapped in a black robe. The face of this human figure could not be seen clearly. However, since he was able to come to this place and even bid for the Jade Bone Fruit, it was likely that he was at least a Ban Di.
"Tsk tsk, three million Spirit Coins to bid for a Jade Bone Fruit. This kind of price is likely enough to buy two or three in the outside world. It is unexpected that there would actually be such a foolish person who would bid for it. Three million Spirit Coins right off the bat. This kind of person is either rich or a fool!"
"Hei, to be able to become a Ban Di and come here, which one of them is a fool …"
Words that contained some ridicule sounded one after another from the stone stage. Other than some unreconciled gazes, there were also some eyes that were filled with cold laughter and ridicule as they looked at the black-robed person. After all, using three million Spirit Coins to bid for a Jade Bone Fruit had indeed exceeded the value of the Jade Bone Fruit.
"Hehe, this mister has bid three million Spirit Coins for the Jade Bone Fruit. Is there anyone who is willing to raise the price?"
At this moment, the old man on the crystal stage below finally revealed a smile on his calm face. It was a smile of satisfaction.
From his point of view, the value of this Jade Bone Fruit was at most two million and five hundred thousand Spirit Coins. However, he never expected that the mysterious black-robed person would actually raise the price to three million Spirit Coins right off the bat. This was truly a pleasant surprise!
The old man's gaze swept across the auction ground in front of him. As the old man spoke, the entire place suddenly quieted down. No one said anything else. The old man seemed to have received the answer from their eyes and withdrew his gaze.
"Hehe, since no one is going to raise the price, I will announce that this Jade Bone Fruit will be sold to this mister for three million Spirit Coins!"
The old man's gaze quickly swept across the auction ground. In the end, he firmly fixed his gaze on the black-robed person who had bid for the Jade Bone Fruit. As he laughed, he slowly lifted the jade box in his hand that was once again covered.
"Mister, the rules of the auction ground are to sell on the spot. One hand for the money, and the other hand for the goods. I wonder if mister …"
"Swoosh!"
Before the old man finished speaking, a ray of light suddenly flashed across the auction ground. It was like a shooting star, but also like a bolt of lightning. It shot towards the old man on the crystal stage.
The old man's expression did not change. With a flick of his finger, a ray of light shot out and blocked the incoming ray of light. Soon after, he extended his hand and grabbed it. A low-grade storage ring appeared in his hand.
The old man smiled slightly. With a thought, a wisp of Spiritual Strength was quickly injected into the storage ring. After a round of checking, he raised his head and once again looked at the black-robed figure. He smiled and nodded as he said, "Yes, Senior Brother.
"That's right. There are three million Spirit Coins in here. Mister, the Jade Bone Fruit is yours!"
The old man smiled. At the same time, the hand that was holding the jade box pushed forward. The jade box immediately soared into the air and quickly shot towards the black-robed person.
The black-robed person extended his hand and a suction force gushed out from his palm. He grabbed the jade box that had yet to arrive in his hand. Soon after, he turned his wrist and the jade box in his hand was stored in the storage ring.
Under the black robe, the corners of the young man's mouth curled into a smile. Looking at his face, who else could it be other than Xiao Yan?
In the next moment, the old man withdrew his gaze. His eyes once again swept across the entire auction ground. Two red hands gently pressed against the empty space. Everyone's gaze in the auction ground followed and looked towards the old man.
"The second item to be auctioned is a Spirit Rank Cultivation Method …"
