"The owner of this Monster Core does not intend to use spirit coins to auction this Monster Core. Instead, he hopes to use something of equivalent value to exchange for this Monster Core. Therefore, everyone present can just bid. The value of the items that you bid will be judged by me. The person who bids the highest will obtain this Monster Core. Everyone, please begin!"
The old man slowly extended his arm after he finished speaking. He made a 'please' gesture to everyone present. In an instant, the large auction ground was filled with discussions. However, no one bid after a long while.
It was not that they did not want this Monster Core. It was just that they were unable to take out something of equivalent value to a five star Dou Di class Monster Core.
At this moment, even the few elite Dou Di on the tall platform involuntarily revealed a difficult expression on their faces. Although they each had their own trump cards in their hands, the auction had yet to reach its end. The finale item had yet to appear. They were more or less unwilling to spend their trump cards now!
No one bid in the large auction ground. Gradually, the discussions quietly scattered. Everyone looked at each other. Some people wore cold smiles on their faces, some were indifferent, and there were even some who held an eager attitude as they attempted to bid at the last moment to obtain this Monster Core at the lowest price.
Time passed second by second. The people in the auction hall seemed indifferent, but in fact, everyone was suppressing a burning fire in their hearts. If there was really no one to bid, these people would definitely make a move at the last moment.
The old man on the auction stage had a calm expression. His heart was not the slightest ripple. It was just as he had said earlier. This old man had seen such a situation many times. It could be said that he was very familiar with it. He had even seen worse situations. What could this little thing in front of him be considered?
The old man's bright old eyes slowly swept over the auction ground. First, they paused on the members of the Huo clan. After which, they paused on the father and son of the Bai clan. When his gaze landed on the handsome Bai Zhan, the expression in the old man's eyes flickered. A surprise involuntarily flashed deep within his eyes before it was immediately withdrawn.
"I'm very regretful. Since no one is bidding for this auction item, the old me can only regretfully announce that this Monster Core will be …"
"I bid a tier three medicinal pill!"
At a certain moment, the old man shook his head regretfully. Just as he was about to put away the jade box in his hand, a voice suddenly sounded within the auction ground.
Immediately, everyone's eyes turned over. The person who had bid earlier was a shifty-eyed middle-aged man. From the looks of the timing of his bid, it was obvious that he was intending to make a huge profit.
Unfortunately, he was not the only one present who had such thoughts.
"I bid two tier three medicinal pills!"
"I bid three!"
"Four!"
"…"
Everyone's eyes were focused on the jade box in the old man's hand. The people from the large factions no longer hesitated. The Huo Clan and the Bai Clan looked at each other from a distance. To them, only the two of them were formidable opponents in this auction. Only they could stop them from obtaining this Monster Core. The others were merely a group of clowns who could not even be brought to the stage.
Bai Ying and Huo Ting looked at each other from a distance. It was as if they wanted to see through each other.
The Huo clan and Huo Ting's clapping became increasingly intense. The atmosphere, which had been silent for a moment, seemed to be accumulating energy, waiting for this moment to erupt. Originally, no one had bid because of the high price. However, at this moment, everyone's voices were louder and louder. The Huo clan and Huo Ting's clapping sounds were like waves crashing against the ground.
"I bid a High Level Spiritual Secret Art."
At a certain moment, a somewhat low and deep shout resounded in the noisy auction ground. This sound was like the sound of a bell that reverberated endlessly, reverberating in the ears of everyone present. The auction ground, which was originally as noisy as boiling water, gradually quietened down because of this one sentence.
Although a tier three medicinal pill was precious, it was clearly not enough when compared to a High Level Secret Art.
Compared to a consumable like a medicinal pill, a Secret Art could be passed down for hundreds of generations. It would play an important role in the future generations of a clan. In comparison, it was believed that most people would choose a Secret Art. With regards to this, the gradually quieting crowd already had an answer.
On the auction stage, the old man also looked over and saw that the person who had spoken was Huo Ting from the Huo Clan.
The old man's eyes flickered slightly and the corners of his mouth slowly curled into a smile. Rather than saying that the Secret Art he had offered was too precious, in his opinion, it was more accurate to say that the Huo Clan's deterrence was too strong.
As one of the four great clans under the Heavenly Sword Sect, the Huo Clan's influence in Xuan City was obvious. However, which faction in this area did not fear the Huo Clan?
"I bid two Secret Arts!"
Soon after, a loud clapping sound rang out from somewhere in the auction house. Everyone turned to look at the source of the sound. The old man on the auction stage had a faint smile on his face. Needless to say, the one who dared to argue with the Huo Clan was the Bai Clan.
On the viewing platform, Bai Ying's figure stood upright as he looked at Huo Ting. His eyes were sharp. No matter what, this Monster Core had to fall into his hands today.
"I bid three Secret Arts!"
"Four Secret Arts!"
"You …"
Just as Huo Ting finished speaking, Bai Ying immediately spoke up, causing the latter's expression to involuntarily change slightly. Although this Monster Core was expensive, the Secret Art scroll in his hand was not something that he could take just because he wanted to. He had to consider everything for his clan first. This Monster Core was only one of his goals on this trip. If he paid too much at this time, it would undoubtedly cause a lot of trouble in the upcoming auction.
"Five Secret Arts!"
After hesitating for a long time, Huo Ting finally spoke up again. This was already his bottom line. Five High Spirit Secret Arts. Even in the clan, this was still a considerable amount of wealth.
"Five high-grade Spirit rank techniques and one low-grade Spirit rank technique."
Bai Ying's expression was calm, and his tone did not show the slightest intention of backing down.
"I …"
"Third elder Huo, if you can continue to bid for one more High Spirit Secret Art, I will give this Monster Core to you."
Just as Huo Ting was about to speak, Bai Ying leisurely spoke up. The corners of his mouth lifted into a cold smile, and a playful expression appeared in his eyes.
"You … you want to use this opportunity to trick me?"
The expression in Huo Ting's eyes hardened slightly, but soon after, he sneered. He had seen such methods many times.
"Haha, then there is no need for elder Huo to hesitate. Please go ahead!"
Bai Ying's expression did not change at all when he heard this. Instead, he sneered and gestured towards the latter before returning to his seat.
Upon seeing this, Huo Ting could not help but frown slightly. Beside him, Huo Yuning also frowned. Although this Monster Core was important, they had no choice but to hesitate!
"Humph, since you want it, go ahead. Heh, if I am not wrong, you should be preparing it for Bai Zhan!"
