"Oh yeah …"
Hearing her father's words, Xiao Xue was overjoyed. After all, she was still a child. Which girl didn't like beautiful clothes?
Looking at Xiao Xue's happy expression, Ying and Bing's figures appeared in Lin Ray's mind.
"Hehe, how good would it be if the two of you were here!"
Of course, Lin Ray wouldn't let them come back. After all, they still had things to do. Moreover … their cultivation was at the Great Perfection Ultimate God Realm. Lin Ray didn't care about their safety at all.
"Three million low-grade divine crystals!"
Liu Yuan immediately started bidding. He was never stingy when it came to his daughter.
"Three million, three million, is there anyone else? Three million going once …"
At this moment, the auctioneer on the first floor's stage heard the voice from the third floor and suddenly became serious. In Jiu Yun, who didn't know what the third floor represented? Thus, as a staff member, he naturally didn't dare to be careless or arrogant.
"Three million going twice …"
"F * ck, who is it? Isn't it just a mid-grade divine artifact set? Is there a need to go so far?"
"Yeah, three million low-grade divine crystals, this is f * cking …"
"Are you kidding? Three million for the third floor? Who wouldn't dare to bid? Who doesn't know what the third floor represents? Isn't this f * cking monopolizing the market?"
"Yeah, this is too much. How shameless."
At this moment, when the auctioneer shouted for the second time, the crowd couldn't remain calm anymore. Their faces were filled with complaints.
Of course, who would care about these strangers who were like strangers? No, no one would care. The auctioneer wouldn't care, Lin Ray wouldn't care, and Liu Yuan wouldn't care.
"Three million going thrice."
With a bang, the healing auctioneer slammed the hammer on the table. "The esteemed guest of the Red Clothed Third Floor's Winter Cloud Pavilion has obtained it. Congratulations …"
"Hahaha, congratulations, congratulations. Fellow cultivator, congratulations on obtaining it."
"Yeah, congratulations, fellow cultivator!"
"Congratulations, fellow cultivator!"
At this moment, as soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, the scene filled with resentment completely disappeared. Instead, it was replaced by endless congratulations for Liu Yuan.
Looking at the crowd, Lin Ray could only think of one word, "Hypocrites."
Of course, this kind of hypocrisy came quickly, and so did the confirmation. After all, this was an auction, so …
"Hehe, Little Snow, the Emperor Caihuang will send it over to you in a moment. When you wear it, you'll have a powerful defensive energy." At this moment, on the third floor of the Winter Cloud Pavilion, when Liu Yuan saw that he had won the bid for Caihuang, a smile appeared on his face.
"Yes! That's a good thing for you, "he agreed with Liu Yuan and looked down.
Although Lin Ray's main purpose of coming here was to find medicinal herbs for Xiao Xue, he was no longer in a hurry after finding Gu Tongfeng.
Just now, he thought of his wife, so … Lin Ray wanted to see if there was anything novel and buy it for them.
His gaze fell on the auction stage. At this moment, an attendant was dragging something from the backstage onto the stage.
At this moment, the moment the attendant appeared, everyone's attention was focused on the item in the attendant's hand.
Even Lin Ray wasn't surprised at all.
"Heh …"
The young auctioneer raised his head and looked at everyone's eyes. He smiled and said, "Everyone, this is the last item of our auction. It's also the finale of this once-in-a-millennium auction. I'm sure everyone is very curious about what the last item is!"
"Of course, if it's the finale item, it must be very good, right?"
"Yes, the finale item might not be a saint-level cultivation technique, but it's also possible to have a divine weapon as a gift."
"Hehe, hurry up and take it out. Let's see what the final item is. It's so mysterious."
"Hurry up and take it out. Let's see what Jiuyun's finale item is. "
"…" Hearing the crowd's words, the young auctioneer frowned. However, he quickly recovered and reminded the crowd in a gentle voice, "Everyone, everyone, please calm down. Calm down."
No matter what the auctioneer said, the crowd was still the same. They didn't change at all.
"Sigh!"
After sighing helplessly, he changed the topic. He coughed softly and said in a deep voice, "Cultivation. This is the final item. I don't know its exact name, nor do I know its exact use. Preliminary evaluation shows that it's an ore."
"The ore is so hard that even a supreme-grade divine weapon won't be able to cut it open. It won't even leave a mark."
… Silence.
At this moment, the voice of the young attendant entered the ears of everyone present. At this moment, the entire place naturally quieted down. Those who had been talking noisily and those who had gathered around had all quieted down.
No one was happier than the auctioneer on the stage.
"Cultivation. This item's appearance is a little unexpected, but it's truly a treasure."
"The starting price is three million mid grade divine crystals. Each increment is five hundred thousand mid grade divine crystals. Let the auction begin."
With a whoosh, the young auctioneer immediately removed the black cloth covering the tray. The true appearance of the item that the auctioneer had boasted about was revealed before everyone's eyes.
"Shit … What's that? Iron Egg? "
"That's right. What the hell is that? A ball of mud? Is that a treasure?"
"Haha. Are you sure that a supreme-grade divine weapon won't be able to cut it open? Why do I feel that it's so unconventional?"
"I feel that it's nothing more than a ball of mud. It's useless. Forget it. If this is the final item, then … wouldn't this daddy's shit be their family's heirloom? Hahaha … "
"Humph!"
Seeing the disdain on the faces of the people below, the auctioneer was furious. He didn't expect the crowd before him to be so ignorant. Others might not know, but he knew very well how powerful those black balls were.
Back then, he was the one who had tested those black balls. Furthermore, his expression back then was exactly the same as everyone else's. However, after the experiment, he regretted it. The reason for that was because those black balls were truly powerful. Even a supreme-grade divine weapon was no match for them.
However … the crowd couldn't be blamed for their reaction. The final item was truly too similar to a ball of mud.
Both balls of mud were of the same size. Furthermore, the most outrageous thing was that the four balls of mud were completely black. The black man had a look of disdain on his face.
"Everyone, who are you bidding with? If you want it, then … then you can pay for it. We'll hand over the money and the goods at the same time. After we're done with the goods, you can go your way and I'll go mine."
"I'll say the same thing again. Those who are bidding, bid. Those who are not bidding, stay away from the entrance. Otherwise, you won't be able to stay in my Nine Cloud Trade Association."
After saying that, the young auctioneer snorted coldly and said no more. Perhaps the crowd wouldn't care about his reputation. However, who wouldn't give face to the Nine Cloud Trade Association? They were the largest trade association in the entire domain. Who would dare to offend them? Perhaps even the seven great sects wouldn't dare to be presumptuous.
Sure enough, after the young auctioneer said those words, the crowd became completely silent. There was no longer any clamor like before.
Although the crowd was filled with resentment, they still had to take the Nine Cloud Trade Association into consideration. They didn't dare to be presumptuous.
"Mm! That's good. "
Looking at the silence below, the young auctioneer's lips curled into a smile. "Everyone, begin the bidding! The highest bidder wins! "
Silence …
It was incomparably quiet. After the young auctioneer said those words, no one was willing to bid.
The appearance of this scene was a blow to the young auctioneer. He couldn't figure out why no one would bid for such a hard item.
Moreover, what surprised him the most was that the group of refining maniacs from the Weapon Refining Sect didn't say anything. In the past, whenever they came across good ores or refining materials, they would spare no effort to bid. But now … what was going on?
He didn't say anything and only frowned. He couldn't figure it out. However, he didn't bid for the item. He just waited quietly like this. In any case, there was only an hour. As long as an hour passed and no one bid, the item would be lowered.
Although this was a symbolic insult to the auctioneer … there was no other way. Who asked this final item to look so unconventional?!
However, the Winter Cloud Pavilion was dead silent at this moment. Even Lin Ray couldn't help but frown when he saw the black ball of mud on the stage. His face was filled with disgust.
"Damn, who would want this thing?"
"Ding! Abnormality detected. Host, do you want to investigate? Investigating will consume 300,000 exchange points. Do you want to continue …?"
Suddenly, the System's voice appeared in Lin Ray's mind. Lin Ray was stunned.
"Abnormality? Where …? "
As soon as the System's voice fell, Lin Ray's divine sense instantly left his body like a sharp sword. Like a ferocious beast, it rushed out in an instant. Its speed was astonishing.
Lin Ray released his divine sense and enveloped the entire Nine Clouds Pavilion. However … after a round of investigation, Lin Ray didn't find any abnormality as mentioned by the System. Lin Ray had some doubts about this.
"Kid, since the System said there's an abnormality, it means there really is an abnormality. So … agree to it!"
"Moreover, you have to know that as long as it's an item selected by the System, none of it will be a heavenly treasure that won't cause a commotion."
"Isn't it just 300,000? Is there a need to be so narrow-minded and stingy? "
"Don't forget, you still owe the System a few million."
"Isn't the saying good? When you have too many debts, you don't worry. When you have too many lice, you don't itch. When you die, you'll have your eggs facing the sky. If you don't die, you'll live for thousands of years. What's there to be afraid of?"
"Uh …"
Listening to the Little Dragon's out-and-out words, Lin Ray was stunned. He didn't know anything else. He didn't expect the Little Dragon to say something like this.
However, thinking about it carefully, it really was the case. Anyway, he already owed so much. He wasn't afraid of owing more.
After thinking it through, he immediately said, "System, investigate abnormality."
"Ding, good. Host, please wait a moment. The investigation has been activated. Investigating, please wait …"
It had been waiting for a long time. After hearing Lin Ray's order, the System instantly activated and began to investigate.
To be honest, Lin Ray was actually very curious. For the System to detect abnormality, Lin Ray wanted to see what kind of item it was. Even though he had to spend a little money.
"Mister, aren't you going to take action? Although that thing's appearance is a little ugly, but as the saying goes, you can't judge a book by its cover. You can't just look at its ugly appearance and ignore it. If you do that, it will also hurt. "
"…"
On the side, hearing his daughter's words, Liu Yuan was also speechless. He held his forehead as if his head was hurting.
However, Lin Ray was also speechless. He didn't expect that the little girl in front of him would care about the feelings of a stone.
"Sigh! That thing doesn't look like a good thing. It's useless to say that, so … "
"Ding, investigation complete. Do you want to check?"
Just when Lin Ray and Snowy were talking, the System's voice suddenly sounded. Regarding this, Lin Ray was surprised. Then, he ignored Snowy and ordered the System.
"Check."
"Ding, good. Please wait a moment …"
After receiving the order, a light screen that only Lin Ray could see appeared in front of him. A line of information appeared.
Heaven Annihilation Rock Fire: A type of flame formed from the precipitation of an undying volcano. In its dormant state, it looks like a stone but isn't. In its awakened state, it is like an undying flame that can burn everything in the world.
"Zhuang … Mud Ball?"
After seeing this information, Lin Ray couldn't help but look at the appearance of the mud ball on the auction stage. It was almost exactly the same as the information that the System had detected. At this moment, Lin Ray felt pain in his face. It was very, very painful …
"Damn, it can't be! I just said that I don't want to buy it. Damn it … Is it trying to kill me? "
He waved his hand and dispersed the light screen in front of him. Then, he looked at the mud ball with a bitter expression. "Damn it. Can it still work?"
"Look at you. If it's a Rock Fire, then so be it. Why didn't it stay in its awakened state? Why did it have to turn into a mud ball?" He complained and thought about how to explain his previous words.
"Four million mid-grade divine crystals."
Suddenly, a voice resounded throughout the auction house. Similarly, this voice also landed in Lin Ray's ears.
Suddenly, Lin Ray's expression changed when he heard this bid. He was startled and his eyes fell on the room where the voice came from.
The third floor. It was also the third floor. Moreover, it just so happened that the room was right across from him.
"Heh … Is it something that belongs to the Supreme One?" Looking at the room opposite him, Lin Ray had a mocking expression on his face. Then, he didn't think about what he said before and called out a bid, "Five million."
* Hua … *
When the number of five million appeared, everyone in the auction house was stunned. Even Liu Yuan and Little Snow, who were under the same roof as Lin Ray, were shocked.
Little Snow was fine. After all, she was under her father's protection and didn't know the number of five million. However, it was different for Liu Yuan. He was very clear about it.
In the seven sects, five million was enough for 50 years of cultivation resources, let alone 100 years. But now, the young man in front of him had opened his mouth and called out five million …
Most importantly, the young man in front of him had just said that the Rock Fire wasn't good. But now, he was calling out a huge sum of five million.
This was a slap in the face!
Thinking about this, Liu Yuan couldn't help but laugh inwardly. Facing Lin Ray's slap in the face, he seemed to have found a bargaining chip that could make Lin Ray uncomfortable. He was very happy.
"Damn it. As expected, this old man caught me slapping his face."
Feeling the change in Liu Yuan's mood, Lin Ray was shocked and depressed. However … when he thought about the Rock Fire, these things weren't so important anymore.
