Liao Chen was also a cultivator, and his cultivation was at the late-stage God Emperor Realm. Naturally, he could sense the divine senses of the crowd.
However, he didn't expose them from the start to the end. Instead, he smiled as he swept his gaze across the crowd. "Cultivation, since the first auction item has been brought up, let's begin."
As he spoke, he reached out and pulled the black cloth on the plate. With a swoosh, he lifted it. Suddenly, the first auction item was exposed in front of everyone.
"What is that? Is that a token? "
"F * * k, is the Star Cloud Commerce joking? Using this kind of thing as an opening remark to fool people. "
"F * * k, a token? F * * k, this must be a joke! "
For a moment, the appearance of the first auction item caused the crowd to be stunned. After which, they started discussing amongst themselves. Waves of voices entered Liao Chen's ears, but he didn't show any dissatisfaction.
On the third floor, in Lin Ray's room, the first auction item naturally appeared in front of Lin Ray. With regards to the appearance of this item, Lin Ray's first reaction was the same as the crowd on the first floor. He felt that the Star Cloud Commerce was too careless.
"Something's not right, this item isn't as simple as a token." His divine sense descended upon the medallion. He had never seen the material of this medallion before. What shocked Linley even more was that within the medallion, there was a hint of divine sense that was so weak that it was almost undetectable.
This trace of divine sense was very weak, extremely weak. If one didn't examine it carefully, they wouldn't be able to detect the existence of divine sense within.
"Father, this item …" Seeing the changes in her father's expression, Lin Xian`er probed.
"Bid for it."
"Although I don't know what use this token has, but since the Star Cloud Commerce brought it out for auction, this item definitely isn't simple." Lin Ray decided. He believed that this item was definitely not simple.
"O … fine!"
Although Lin Xian`er didn't understand her father's decision, she would naturally carry it out since he said so.
Below, on the auction stage, Liao Chen listened to the crowd's discussion and said, "This token was obtained from the Luo God Mystic Realm. Its material is special. The armorers of the Armorer Guild once examined its material, but they were unable to confirm it in the end. Furthermore, commercial divine artifacts cannot damage it at all. It is impervious to water and fire.
"At first, I didn't know what this token was, and since it was the first item to be auctioned, the price was much cheaper."
As he spoke, no one spoke, and Liao Chen didn't feel awkward at all. It was as if he had already known this would happen.
"The first item is the mysterious token. The starting price is two hundred thousand low-grade Saint Realm Crystals, and each increment must be no less than fifty thousand. Let the competition begin. The highest bidder wins."
"…"
There was complete silence. The moment Liao Chen finished speaking, the sound of the token going off was completely silent. The cultivators below all looked at each other. In the end, no one placed the token on the auction list in their hearts.
He wasn't the only one. Everyone on the second and third floors were the same. No one spoke.
Time passed little by little. Liao Chen didn't feel embarrassed at all. After waiting quietly for more than ten minutes, a trace of disappointment flashed across his face when he saw that no one was competing.
Of course, this disappointment only lasted for a moment. "If that's the case, then this auction item …"
"Two hundred and fifty thousand low-grade Saint Crystals."
Suddenly, when no one intended to become a monk and the auctioneer was about to take the item off the shelf, a bidder made a bid.
"Wow!"
At this moment, the entire Star Cloud Auction House was in an uproar. Everyone turned to look at the room that made the bid.
On the third floor, room number sixteen. That's right, the bidder was Lin Ray.
"Two hundred and fifty thousand, two hundred and fifty thousand, anyone else?"
"Two hundred and fifty thousand …"
Liao Chen looked at the room that Lin Ray was in. His initial disappointment was replaced by a smile. Although the price was much lower than expected, he could at least break even if he sold it.
"Two hundred and fifty thousand going once …"
His gaze swept across the crowd. As usual, no one had any intention to bid.
"Two hundred and fifty thousand going twice …"
"Two hundred and fifty thousand going thrice, bang!"
"Sold."
The auctioneer made the final decision. At this moment, the auction item was won by Lin Ray at the price of two hundred and fifty thousand low-grade Saint Realm Crystals.
"Congratulations to the young master in room number sixteen on the third floor. He has won the first auction item for two hundred and fifty thousand low-grade Saint Realm Crystals."
After saying that, the auctioneer waved his hand and signaled the attendant beside him. The attendant understood the auctioneer's intention and walked towards Lin Ray's room on the third floor.
Lin Ray's bid gave the crowd a big smokescreen. They didn't understand who would spend two hundred and fifty thousand for such a useless item.
"Alright, the small interlude is over. The first auction item is over. Next up is the second auction item."
After saying that, another attendant walked out from the back and came to Liao Chen.
Everyone's gaze once again focused on the item in the attendant's hand. This time, they didn't release their divine sense like before.
Instead, everyone's gaze fell on Liao Chen with anticipation. The scene was silent, waiting for Liao Chen to reveal the item.
The crowd's reaction made Liao Chen's smile even wider. He didn't want to spoil the crowd's appetite. With a faint smile, he said, "I believe everyone has heard that the shop in the middle of the four major guilds is going to be auctioned this time."
As soon as Liao Chen said that, the crowd couldn't remain calm anymore. The main event was here. They all thought that the shop would appear at the end, but they didn't expect it to appear in the second auction item. Moreover, the first auction item was an insignificant item.
"Steward Liao, don't beat around the bush. Since you've come out, hurry up and say it. Our time is precious and we don't have time to waste on you."
"Yeah, hurry up and start bidding."
"Yeah, Steward Liao, hurry up!"
Everyone in the auction house, whether it was on the first floor or in the rooms upstairs, echoed Liao Chen's words.
This was exactly what Liao Chen wanted to see. "Alright, since everyone knows, let's start the second round of the auction."
After saying that, Liao Chen lifted the black cloth and revealed a black key. Everyone in the rooms upstairs stood up excitedly when they saw the black key. They came to the window and locked their eyes on the key on the auction stage.
"The auction for the central shop will now begin. The token price is one million mid-grade Saint Realm Crystals. Each bid must not exceed five hundred thousand mid-grade Saint Realm Crystals. The highest bidder wins. Let the auction begin."
"Two million."
As soon as Liao Chen's voice fell, an old man's voice sounded in the auction house.
"Three million."
"Four million."
"Six million."
The price soared to six million in an instant. It was no longer as silent as before. Everyone started bidding.
However, the ones who were bidding were all upstairs. The people on the first floor were all silent. No one made a bid.
"Ten million, my Thousand Treasure Sect will take this shop."
