After Hong Fei and Mi Jun left, Yi Tian sat cross-legged in his box. He still had a long time to wait. The hundreds of items up for auction were all for low-level cultivators, so he had no interest in participating.
After half a day, it was time for the high-grade items. This time, there were more than 30 items in the catalog, but the auction allowed the cultivators present to take out their own items for a price. So there would be some other items in the mix.
This time, Yi Tian didn't have any treasures that caught his eye, but his mind was focused on the Starlight Meteoric Iron and the Lava Demon Crystal. After waiting for a short while, it was finally time for the first item. Hong Shou shouted from the stage below, "One piece of Starlight Meteoric Iron ore. It weighs about 500 kilograms and can be purified into at least 300 kilograms of meteoric iron. It is a very rich ore."
After he finished speaking, four burly men carried a piece of ore with a radius of five feet onto the stage. "Bang!" After the ore fell to the ground, it was obvious that the platform under Hong Shou's feet was shaken by the impact.
At the same time, at least three spiritual wills extended out from the box onto the stage. Yi Tian discovered that two of the three spiritual wills extended out from the box and one of them was traced back to one of the Spirit Severing cultivators downstairs. However, this person was wearing a black robe, so his divine senses couldn't see his face. Judging from his body shape, he was a cultivator less than five feet tall.
Hong Shou spoke again, "The starting price for a piece of high-grade Starlight Meteoric Iron ore is one hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones, and each increment must be no less than one thousand spirit stones. Everyone, please." As soon as he finished speaking, two people began to bid.
He had informed Hong Fei about this item long ago. He was afraid that those well-informed people would have already withdrawn their bids. Among the bidders present, one of them must be Hong Fei's people.
Thinking about it, it was very odd. Hong Fei wanted to get some interest from the other party, and then the item must have been tampered with. No matter who took it, they wouldn't be able to escape the fate of being tracked.
As the bidding process in the two private rooms entered a white-hot stage, it seemed that in the end, it would only fall into the hands of these two families. Suddenly, a voice came from downstairs, "300,000 high-grade spirit stones."
This sentence attracted everyone's attention once again. This price was three times higher than the base price of the item. Even if it was calculated according to the market price, it would be more than a profit. But at this time, Yi Tian could imagine that Hong Fei's face was not as good as he had imagined.
It was quite interesting that a Semi-God Realm itinerant Cultivator who did not belong to any force had suddenly appeared. He believed that Hong Fei would also send someone to keep an eye on this person.
Yi Tian then calmed down and continued to wait for the next set of treasures to appear. Not long after, when the Lava Magic Crystal was brought up, the atmosphere was still normal. When the item was taken out, Yi Tian could see that this fist-sized Lava Magic Crystal was stored in a piece of thousand-year-old ice. It was normal when he thought about it. This thing was the main material of the Flame Explosion Lightning. It contained a huge amount of energy. Only by refrigerating it in ice could it maintain its stability.
The cultivator sitting on the second floor who was bidding for the Brilliant Meteorite Iron didn't leave early. It seemed that he was going to stay and bid.
This time, Hong Shou had received a hint from Hong Fei early in the morning. He deliberately slowed down the pace of the auction so that the Department of Internal Affairs would have enough time to dispatch people. He slowly said, "The Lava Magic Crystal is provided by the Heng Tong Chamber of Commerce in Heng Tong City. The base price is 300,000 high-grade spirit stones or 3,000 merit points. Each bid must not be less than 3,000 spirit stones. Please bid."
Next, from time to time, people in the private rooms on the third floor began to bid. But basically, only those large chambers of commerce would participate. After all, this base price was not something that ordinary itinerant Cultivators could afford.
Although the bidding on the third floor was fierce, Yi Tian believed that at least dozens of people were focused on the cultivator on the second floor at this time. It was just that this person seemed to have given up and didn't speak anymore.
Just as he was wondering, his Divine Thought found that the price of the Lava Magic Crystal had been raised to 500,000 spirit stones at this time. It seemed that there was still room to rise.
After a while, when the price soared to 600,000, there were only two bidders left. In the end, this Lava Magic Crystal was sold at the highest price of 620,000 spirit stones today. The person who bought it was the second shopkeeper of the Tongtian Pavilion.
At this time, Yi Tian was sitting in the private room, but his face showed a suspicious look. It was reasonable to say that the forces behind the Tongtian Pavilion were the Shangqing Daoism and Hong Fei. This time they came out to participate, but he didn't know what their purpose was.
Suddenly, his Divine Thought found that the person on the second floor moved. After he got up, he was led by a maid to the backstage to settle the transaction. Yi Tian's heart was beating like a drum. Could it be that he was too cautious and made a mistake?
These two treasures did appear here by chance, and they were bought by chance. But if things were so coincidental, it seemed too normal.
He poked his head out to look at the venue below. The ground seemed to shake, causing a lot of commotion. Hong Shou, on the other hand, had a calm look on his face as he comforted the crowd. Many of the cultivators on the second floor shouted for the auction to continue. They were still waiting.
The location of the transaction was in the warehouse hall, which was a thousand feet away from the auction's main venue. The main venue was newly built, and there was a high-strength protective formation around it. Even Severed Soul Stage cultivators couldn't easily attack from the outside. The people who were in the arena would not feel anything, because the protective barrier could completely isolate the venue.
But the ground shook just now, so there were some shrewd people in the venue who guessed something.
Just as he was thinking, the identity jade card on his waist suddenly rang. He took it out and was shocked. It turned out that the black-robed cultivator had chosen the right time to settle the transaction with the people of the Tongtian Pavilion. Then he waited for an opportunity to steal the treasure and escape. At this time, Hong Fei received the report and led a team to chase after him.
Looking back, it wasn't difficult to find the reason. The price of the Brilliant Star Meteoric Iron was only 300,000, so that person could afford it. As for the Lava Magic Crystal, the price had already doubled. He was afraid that if he wanted to get it, there was no other way.
Just now, the black-cloaked man had considered this point, so he chose the right time to act. Thinking about it, after openly robbing the Luo Xia City, he must have prepared a way out.
If he didn't guess wrong, the person who committed the crime must have an accomplice. Otherwise, the four gates of the Luo Xia City would be closed, and they would be like turtles in a jar. Yi Tian didn't have much interest in the following auction. After glancing at the venue below, he slowly got up and gently pushed open the door and walked out.
When he came outside, he saw a team of people from the Department of Inspection hurriedly rushing out under the leadership of the captain. These people must have received Hong Fei's message and went to reinforce.
After leaving the auction venue, Yi Tian directly rushed in the direction of his home. Now that he couldn't help much, he could only wait for Hong Fei's news.
