Indeed, not much.
When the old man appeared, the entire auction house was in an uproar. Everyone was excited.
The elder's name was Ye Changkong, the current leader of the Ye Clan.
As long as he was the host of the auction, it meant that many rare treasures would appear in this auction. This kind of situation only happened once a year, so of course the crowd was excited.
Ye Changkong's temperament was very serious. He only said a few words before officially announcing the start of the auction.
"Today's first item is called the Spirit Locking Ancient Blade. It is a one-patterned King Weapon. When this blade is used, it can seal the spiritual energy in the air and catch the opponent off guard."
"The starting price is five hundred thousand spiritual stones."
"Every bid must be at least ten thousand spiritual stones."
As soon as Ye Changkong finished speaking, the atmosphere in the auction house heated up. The crowd came here to buy what they wanted. Now that the first item was a King Weapon, many people started to bid.
Qian Yuxin was the same.
As the princess of the Qian Martial Emperor, she had many spiritual stones. Naturally, she would pay attention to what she wanted. Compared to her, Chu Xingyun was lying in his chair, bored. His eyes never looked at the auction stage.
In the end, he simply closed his eyes and entered a state of meditation.
Time passed by little by little. One by one, the items were brought up on the stage. Countless people started to fight over them. When the fight got intense, the smell of gunpowder would spread.
Luckily, this was the Drunken Immortal Tower, the Ye Clan's territory. No one dared to act rashly or start a fight. Otherwise, they would be killed by Ye Changkong. The ninth level of the Heavenly Spirit Realm was enough to look down on everyone.
"The seventy-eighth item is called the Blue Feather Raiment. It is a five-patterned King Weapon." Just then, Ye Changkong's voice fluctuated a little, attracting everyone's attention.
In his field of vision, a stone platform appeared in the middle of the auction stage. On the stone platform, there was an azure dress that emitted a dark blue brilliance. It was like water and ripples, forming a dense pattern. Faintly, one could hear a clear and melodious sound coming from within the dress.
Ye Changkong stretched out his hands and gently lifted the Blue Feather Raiment. "This Blue Feather Raiment is made from the feathers of the Blue Feather Raiment. It is impervious to fire, water, and poison. When you use it at full power, it can even condense the soul of the Blue Feather Raiment, greatly increasing your speed. It is a rare King Artifact."
"The starting price for this Blue Feather Raiment is three million spirit stones. Each bid must be at least ten thousand spirit stones."
"The bidding begins."
Three million Spirit Stones was already a huge amount of wealth. Even ordinary aristocratic families might not be able to afford it. Moreover, this item was just a piece of clothing. There were many restrictions on it, so it did not attract any crazy bids from the crowd.
However, if he could buy the Blue Feather Raiment and give it to the person he liked, or if he could cater to the person he liked, it would be very useful. Therefore, after Ye Changkong finished speaking, there were a few people who raised the price. They were all rich and powerful families.
Chu Xingyun also opened his eyes at this time.
He stared at the Blue Feather Raiment, and a trace of reminiscence flashed in his eyes. It turned out that when he heard the word "raiment," he subconsciously thought of the Heavenly Feather Raiment that he had given to Shui Liu Xiang.
However, the difference between these two items was like heaven and earth. Therefore, Chu Xingyun quickly withdrew his gaze and looked away. He saw that Qian Yuxin was staring at the Blue Feather Raiment, even holding her breath. Her expression was highly concentrated.
"The design of this Blue Feather Raiment is very beautiful. Any female ancient martial art practitioner who sees it will have thoughts about it. Moreover, it can avoid water, fire, and hundreds of poisons. In times of danger, it can condense the soul of a spiritual bird and quickly escape from danger. It is indeed very suitable for you." Chu Xingyun's eyes were like torches. He saw through Qian Yuxin's thoughts at a glance.
"Raiment items are already very rare. As a five-pattern King Weapon, it is even rarer. If I can get it, I can easily avoid being hunted down." Qian Yuxin's eyes brightened, but not long after, she smiled bitterly. "It is a pity that the price is too high. It is not something I can afford."
After a round of bidding, the price of the Blue Feather Raiment had already soared to 3.7 million Spirit Stones. Moreover, the bidding did not stop. There was a faint trend of it breaking through four million Spirit Stones.
Although Qian Yuxin was the daughter of an emperor, she was currently in dire straits. She could not afford such a high price and could only choose to give up.
Chu Xingyun saw Qian Yuxin's lonely expression. He slowly moved his gaze and looked at the Blue Feather Raiment on the auction stage. He said lightly, "Do you like this item?"
"Hmm?"
Hearing Chu Xingyun's words, Qian Yuxin suddenly froze. She raised her head and saw a faint smile on Chu Xingyun's face. He stretched out his hand and said, "Five million Spirit Stones."
In the auction house, many ancient martial art practitioners looked at Chu Xingyun. They were slightly surprised.
In their eyes, Chu Xingyun was too ordinary. There was nothing special about him. However, such an ordinary person had directly called out a high price of five million Spirit Stones. It was really unbelievable.
After all, the true value of this Blue Feather Raiment was around 450 Spirit Stones.
At this time, a beautiful middle-aged woman sitting opposite Chu Xingyun frowned. Her face faintly showed anger. She suddenly raised her hand and said, "5.1 million Spirit Stones!"
Hearing the middle-aged woman's bid, the crowd in the auction house all smiled and looked at Chu Xingyun with a pitiful look.
Qian Yuxin's face also became ugly. She stretched out her hand to pull Chu Xingyun's sleeve and said in a low voice, "Chu Xingyun, this person is the head of the Yun Family. She is good at business and controls several trade routes. Since she has taken a fancy to the Blue Feather Raiment, she will never give it up. Even if we use everything we have, we can't beat her."
These words were very soft, but the cultivation of the people present was not low. They could all hear it clearly. The middle-aged woman was no exception. She immediately raised her head and said proudly, "This little sister is right. As long as I like something, I will never give it up. Moreover, with my Yun Family's wealth, no one can take it away from me."
As her voice fell, the smile on the crowd's face became even wider. There were even people who ridiculed Chu Xingyun for overestimating himself. The mocking voices were endless, and every one of them was particularly harsh.
"Chu Xingyun, I understand your good intentions. Let's just forget it." Qian Yuxin clenched her teeth. She felt sorry for Chu Xingyun. She let Chu Xingyun suffer such humiliation in public.
However, Chu Xingyun ignored these mocking voices. He looked directly at the middle-aged woman and asked, "As expected of a business family, your methods are indeed strong. I wonder how much wealth you, the head of the Yun Family, have in your hands?"
Chu Xingyun's question made the middle-aged woman even more proud. She thought that the former wanted to retreat and find a way out. She replied with disdain, "Not much. Ten million Spirit Stones."
After receiving the middle-aged woman's answer, Chu Xingyun suddenly nodded. He stood up and slowly sat down.
