After Scarlet Robe called out the first item to be auctioned off, the auction had officially begun. Many of the cultivators present began bidding.
Because this time, several Severed Soul Stage cultivators took out their pills and spirit tools as soon as they came up.
However, after Scarlet Robe heard their bids, she didn't show any joy. Instead, she was slightly disappointed. However, she was worried about the city lord's face, so she remained silent.
Wei Qinya, who was sitting below, seemed to have sensed something. He immediately stretched out his hand and called out, "I'm offering the property rights of shops No. 100 to 103 on Di Luo City's South Street in exchange for a hundred years of tax exemption. What does Boss Fei think?"
As soon as Wei Qinya said this, a look of surprise appeared on everyone's face. They didn't expect that Wei Qinya would actually take out such a piece of real estate to exchange for the auction item.
Yi Tian didn't know the value of the shops in the Earth Network City, so he just watched the situation develop.
However, Scarlet Robe smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness, City Lord. The four connected shops are definitely a good market. In addition, the tax exemption for a hundred years is indeed very beneficial for our merchant union to take root in Di Luo City. Just this alone is better than all the other items. Thus, this Asura Sea Emerald Coral will be given to the city lord. "
As soon as this was said, many cultivators objected. They seemed to be dissatisfied with this offer. On the other hand, Scarlet Robe tried her best to convert the Heaven Grade Ammunition and Spirit Tools into Spirit Stones and compare them with Wei Qinya's offer. In an instant, the value was presented to everyone.
Needless to say, it wasn't difficult for the Red Alluring Society to take root in the Earth Network City, but it was difficult to obtain the support of the city lord's mansion. Thinking that the City Lord had spoken first today, it was equivalent to clearly expressing his stance. Scarlet Chang definitely wouldn't brush away Wei Qinya's good intentions at this time.
After the maid brought up the auction item, Wei Qinya directly gave it to the Xun Monarch's heir. This gift wasn't light. Who knew that Duan Xiaolou didn't even look at it. He just turned to Wei Qinya and thanked him before accepting it.
The rest of the auction gradually went smoothly. The Earth Network City Lord was just testing the waters. He didn't participate in the rest of the auction. It was as if he had already accomplished his mission today.
As for the Crown Prince of the Xun King and the general of the Imperial Army, they held their breaths and did not make a move. The two of them seemed to have a tacit understanding with each other. Although there was no interaction between them, their divine senses would sweep across the trays as if they were looking for something.
When the fifth item was presented, Scarlet's slender hands gently lifted the red silk. Inside was a glazed jade bottle, which contained a five-inch-long emerald green scorpion. However, there were some scarlet flashes on its tail. He called out, "One Jasper Blood Scorpion. Requires one heaven class mid-tier offensive spirit treasure or five pills of the same class."
Yi Tian turned to look at the three people in front of him. He guessed that this was their purpose for coming here. If one of them spoke, then he would definitely not make a move. At this critical juncture, offending any one of them would not be worth it.
However, unexpectedly, the three of them did not speak directly. They still maintained their original uninterested look. Now, the other cultivators around started to get restless. Many of them called out their bids. However, most of them were alchemists, and the items they took out were pills.
Yi Tian thought about it. Mu Lang didn't ask him to buy the Jasper Blood Scorpion's true blood for nothing. When he took it away, he gave him a storage bag and said that it was an item to be used for the exchange.
He secretly probed it with his divine senses and found two bottles of pills. There were even labels on the bottles. Yi Tian didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "One bottle of Three Star Strengthening Pills. I'm willing to exchange it for the Jasper Blood Scorpion."
As soon as he said that, he realized that the people present didn't have much doubt. However, Duan Xiaolou and Ke Zhennan, who were sitting in the main seats, turned to look at him at the same time.
With an awkward expression, Yi Tian instantly felt that something was wrong. The two's attitude put him in an awkward position. Many cultivators around also noticed this, but they all had evil smiles on their faces. This made Yi Tian feel like there was a thorn in his back.
No matter what, after he made his bid, the other people who came to bid with him stopped. Scarlet Chang, who was standing on the auction stage, shouted, "Three Star Strengthening Pills are the specialty of the Fantasy Magical Field. In that case, I'll give the Jasper Blood Scorpion to you."
Yi Tian's heart skipped a beat as he knew that something was wrong. It was indeed the problem with the pill. He didn't do enough research. If he knew this, he wouldn't have used Mu Lang's pills to exchange.
Fortunately, he made some preparations before coming to the auction. He used the Thousand Faces Technique to hide his true appearance. However, now that his identity was suddenly exposed, he would have to use some methods to get out after the auction.
Fortunately, the Red Alluring Society had a good reputation. After verifying the grade of the pills in his hand, Scarlet Chang directly handed over the glass jade bottle containing the Jasper Blood Scorpion.
However, during the exchange, Yi Tian heard a voice transmission in his ear, "Fellow Daoist is really bold. You dare to exchange something in front of the City Lord of the Di Luo City."
"May I know what Fellow Daoist Fei is implying?" Yi Tian's brows furrowed slightly as he asked.
Scarlet Chang explained again, "There are many people here who work for the City Lord or Prince Wei. If it's inconvenient for the City Lord to do something, there will be others to do it for him. Your sudden appearance has ruined their plans. I'm afraid you have alarmed them."
Although Yi Tian's expression didn't change, his gaze quickly swept across everyone present. Needless to say, at least five or six cultivators of the same cultivation level were sizing him up.
However, he had seen all kinds of situations. The three main characters sitting in front of him wouldn't personally make a move. At most, they would send their subordinates to make trouble for him after the auction.
With that thought, Yi Tian slowly walked back to his seat and sat down. He didn't fear the gazes of the people around him.
Scarlet Chang from the Red Alluring Society had impressed him. He didn't expect her to speak up and give him advice. Yi Tian's eyes flashed with a trace of light. It seemed he could ask her for help this time.
After he sat down, the sixth auction item was brought up. Scarlet Chang lifted the red silk to reveal a pitch-black demonic saber. The demonic aura on the saber was mixed with a thick smell of blood.
Ke Zhennan, who was sitting in front, suddenly opened his eyes and stared at the demonic saber. After sizing it up, his gaze seemed to be locked onto it.
