Because of his relationship with Mi Jun, Yi Tian was able to enjoy this VIP treatment. Even if he was a Deity Transformation cultivator, if he didn't have a reservation, he could only sit on the second floor in the resting area for high level cultivators to participate in the auction.
The third floor was filled with VIP rooms. Although the room he was in was in an inconspicuous corner, it was much more comfortable than the rooms on the second floor.
Moreover, there were anti-peeping devices and voice changing equipment here. Even if he wanted to play some tricks during the auction, he wouldn't be recognized.
He sat in front of the window and quietly spread out his spirit sense. He could see that the cultivators in the hall were of different cultivation levels, from Foundation Establishment to Yuanying.
Yi Tian was curious. He wanted to see if there would be high-grade cultivators suppressing others during the auction. When he scanned the second floor with his spirit sense, he found that there were about 20 to 30 cultivators sitting there. Most of their cultivation levels were similar to his. Some of them were cultivators wearing sect uniforms. Hung Sanhe wanted to expand his influence, so he found the cultivators of the Taiqing Pavilion to support him.
After waiting for nearly an hour in the room, he heard a sound coming from the hall below. After three gongs and drums sounded, a middle-aged auctioneer in his fifties walked onto the stage. He cleared his throat and said, "I'm Hong Jianshou, the host of this year's auction in Luoxia City. I now announce the official start of the auction. Everyone, please be patient and wait for the auction items to come on stage."
The noise in the hall gradually subsided. Suddenly, a stout Yuanying cultivator stood up and asked, "I don't know if this public auction will put an end to suppressing others. We came because of Lord Hong's fair and honest auction slogan."
For a while, many people lowered their heads and whispered. It seemed that they were also very concerned about this issue. Yi Tian sat in the room and took a look at the brochure on the table. He saw the words' open, fair, just 'written by Hung Sanhe. The corners of his mouth twitched as he thought to himself, "It seems that Hung Sanhe will not let go of any opportunity to promote Luo Xia City. There will definitely be people from the Inspection Department to preside over this auction."
Sure enough, after a while, Hong Fei walked up to the stage with two of his subordinates from the Inspection Department, and then he shouted in a stern voice, "This time, Luo Xia City's auction will definitely satisfy all parties. Everyone, please feel free to bid. On behalf of the Inspection Division, I guarantee that we will handle the auction impartially. If any high level cultivator dares to use his power to oppress others, my Inspection Division will directly ask him to leave the auction venue. "
After he spoke, Hong Fei's sharp gaze swept past the resting area for Divine Transformation cultivators on the second floor and the private rooms on the third floor. His intention was self-evident.
With Division Chief Hong's endorsement, the cultivators sitting in the main hall on the ground floor all smiled in relief.
Then, Hong Shou spoke again, "Okay, let's not waste everyone's time. Please take out the first item for today's auction, an offensive spiritual weapon suitable for Foundation Establishment cultivators."
As soon as he finished speaking, today's auction officially began. Yi Tian glanced at the auction catalog in his room and immediately lost interest. Nearly three-quarters of the items were used by low level cultivators, and there were also a lot of Divine Transformation cultivators. There were a total of 50 items, but most of them were finished spiritual weapons and elixirs.
After sweeping his gaze around, Yi Tian's expression suddenly froze. His gaze was fixated on the Starlight Meteoric Iron and the Lava Mana Crystal, lost in thought.
After a while, he lowered his head and pondered. If he didn't understand the structure of the Sky-Patrolling Battleship, he wouldn't care about these two items. Because these two samples weren't necessary materials for refining spiritual weapons.
However, in the chronicles of the Union of Artificers, he had seen a precedent of using Shell Breaking Awl and Pyroblast Thunder to deal with the Sky-Patrolling Battleship.
Of course, these were the methods that the human race used to counterattack at the end of the demon disaster. But now, the two main materials for making Shell Breaking Awl and Pyroblast Thunder had appeared at the same time.
Moreover, it was at this auction. Wasn't it too much of a coincidence? After thinking about it, he directly sent a message to Mi Jun and asked him to quickly come over to discuss in detail.
After a while, there were a few knocks on the door. Yi Tian opened the door and saw two figures standing outside. The other one was Hong Fei.
After the two of them came in and sat down, Yi Tian closed the door and reached out to open a soundproof barrier. Then, he said, "You two came at the right time. I found that there seems to be some problems with the auction items."
Hong Fei raised his eyebrows and said with a tense expression, "Brother Yi, what did you find wrong?"
After spreading the catalog on the table, he pointed at the Brilliant Star Meteorite Iron and Lava Magic Crystal and said with deep meaning, "How did these two things get into the auction items?"
Hong Fei glanced at them and said with a doubtful expression, "These two things are taken out by the small chambers of commerce. How can there be a problem with them?"
Yi Tian nodded with a heavy expression. He took out a jade slip and spread it out. He pointed at the description of Shell Breaking Awl and Pyroblast Thunder and said, "The main materials for these two spiritual weapons have appeared. I think things are definitely not as simple as they seem."
Hong Fei took the jade slip and quickly scanned the contents. The smile on his face gradually disappeared and his eyes flashed as if he was thinking about something. After a while, he looked up and asked, "Brother Yi, how long does it take to refine this thing? How powerful can it be?"
"Shell Breaking Awl is specially used to attack the outer layer of the Sky-Patrolling Battleship. It is easy to use and only requires Yuanying Cultivators to control it. For a small Sky-Patrolling Battleship, as long as ten of them hit the weak points on both sides of the hull, it can destroy the outer layer of defense. "Yi Tian estimated and replied.
"What about the Pyroblast Thunder? How powerful can it be?" Hong Fei asked with a heavy expression.
"That depends on the skill of the maker. Usually, only two out of ten Shell Breaking Awls can break the defense. Once the Pyroblast Thunder is detonated, it can completely paralyze the entire Sky-Patrolling Battleship." Yi Tian replied.
The room fell into silence for a while. Hong Fei's face was full of anger. There was actually an uneasy factor under his nose. This made him lose face.
Seeing this, Yi Tian hinted, "Can you exchange for these two items, even if it's just one?"
Hong Fei's face turned gloomy and he sighed. Mi Jun, who was on the side, said, "This time, Lord Hong has gone to great lengths to pull together so many merchants from Luo Xia City to participate in this auction. Moreover, the items to be auctioned had been set long ago. If we change it now, I am afraid everyone will be disappointed."
"Then find a way to bid for it." Yi Tian suggested.
"No, let them bid. I want to see how deep these rats are hiding behind the scenes. We will use these two treasures as bait to lure them in. Thank you for your reminder, Brother Yi. I will think of a way to deal with them. Since they dare to play tricks in Luo Xia City, I am thinking of how to deal with them in one fell swoop. "Hong Fei said angrily.
