… … …
The atmosphere became awkward. Seeing his wife turn her head away and ignore him, Lin Ray didn't know what to do. He tried to coax her, but it didn't work.
"Alas, forget it, I'll apologize when I get back!" Thinking of this, he turned around and looked at the auction stage on the first floor.
At this time, after the sound of footsteps, a woman in a yellow dress took the initiative to step forward. She had delicate features, a small mouth, big eyes, and was very beautiful … no, she could be described as a fairy.
Especially with her yellow dress, she was a god state expert. It could be said that this woman was a goddess.
When the woman's real face appeared in front of everyone, the scene was not calm. People sitting on the first floor either began to tease her or began to whistle. The whole scene was chaotic.
"Oh, I didn't expect Lu Guiyun to be so willing to spend so much money. He even brought out his own daughter. It seems that there must be a lot of good things in this auction." At this time, in Lin Ray's private room on the third floor, Hong Yu exclaimed.
"Oh?"
Hearing Hong Yu say that the woman on the stage was Lu Guiyun's second daughter, Lin Ray was stunned for a moment. Of course, he didn't look for the woman, but wanted to know what on earth was in this auction that could make Lu Guiyun spend so much money.
Although he didn't know the rules of the auction house, he knew that if it could make his daughter appear, then it must be something big.
Seeing that Linley was puzzled, Hong Yu paused for a moment before explaining, "Her name is Lu Yao, Lu Guiyun's second daughter. She is also the best auctioneer in the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion. Under normal circumstances, she won't appear and become an auctioneer. Only under special circumstances will she appear."
"As far as I can remember, Lu Yao has only appeared twice, and the things that were auctioned off at each auction were extremely shocking. Every single one of them was extremely rare. It could be said that they were existences that had already gone extinct."
"Is that so?"
Hearing Hong Yu's explanation, Lin Ray understood, and at the same time, he was looking forward to today's auction again.
Although he was looking forward to it, he didn't believe that Hong Yu was talking about extinct existences.
It was very simple, either they didn't know about them or they were extinct, and … Lin Ray thought that this Wan Bao Pavilion auction was just like that. Except for the extravagant decoration, he didn't feel anything special.
Bang, bang, bang!
Suddenly, a series of knocking sounds came from below. The sound was too loud, and it was mixed with a trace of spiritual aura that was almost undetectable.
"Heh, interesting?"
Looking down at Lu Yao, the corners of Lin Ray's lips curled up slightly, and an amused smile appeared on his face.
Just earlier, Lin Ray had been woken up by the sound of Lu Yao's tapping. In regards to the spiritual power that came from the tapping, perhaps others could not sense it very clearly. It could even be said that they could not sense it, but he could sense it very clearly.
The most important thing was not the spiritual energy. Instead, it was her ability to control the spiritual energy. Lin Ray could sense that Lu Yao's control of spiritual energy was already very good. Of course, it was still a bit lacking compared to his own.
However, Lin Ray dared to guarantee that there were not many people in the entire Immortal Realm who could reach this level. However, the majority of those who could reach this level were the big shots of the Immortal Realm, the peak existences.
However, it was clear that Lu Yao was not, and her cultivation was only at the Divine Ancestor level.
It was because of this that Lin Ray had a bit of interest in Lu Yao. It was just a bit.
"Everyone, you have come to the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion's auction to participate in the auction. It can be said that the items being auctioned this time are all rare existences. There is not a single one that is not rare."
"Here, I hope that everyone will be able to bid for the items that they desire." After saying this, she saluted everyone and swept her gaze across the second and third floors.
"Little beauty, since you've said it like this, let's begin. Look, we've been here for so long. If you don't begin, I fear that everyone will lose their patience."
"That's right, little beauty. Let's quickly begin. Let us see just how rare the items you speak of are."
This was something that the people on the first floor could not help but say. However, as long as one was in the know, they would be able to understand. Although these people wanted to see the items being auctioned, the majority of them wanted to tease Lu Yao, who was too strong.
In response to this, Lu Yao's expression did not change because of this. Instead, her smile became even wider, "Definitely. I'm just afraid that when the items are brought out, you won't have the money to buy them."
… …
Pfft …
Aside from the people that had spoken earlier, when the remaining people on the first floor heard Lu Yao's words, the majority of them began to laugh.
"Haha, well said. Speaking of, this Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion's auction hall is truly something. Why is it that just anyone is allowed in? As I see it, this sort of poor person should just be thrown out or not allowed in."
"That's right, right. How could this sort of person have the nerve to speak. Really, I really feel embarrassed for you."
The scene exploded. This scene was seen by everyone on the second and third floors. Seeing Lu Yao's actions, everyone was stunned, and their faces were filled with seriousness.
"This girl is not simple. To be able to use such a simple sentence to cause the people before her to become the target of public criticism. Heh, she really is quite skilled."
"That's right. Who knew that Lu Gui Yun's second daughter would be so exceptional. It seems that not only will we need to be careful of Lu Gui Yun, we will also need to pay close attention to his second daughter."
In regards to Lu Yao's earlier actions, Hong Yu and Xiao Nie had become nervous. At this moment, their expressions became even more serious.
"Un, what you said is correct. This girl is indeed not simple. Regardless of whether it is her intelligence or her cultivation, she is quite outstanding in all aspects."
Looking at Hong Yu, Linley spoke. But as soon as these words came out of his mouth, he felt a cold aura emanate from next to him. Linley trembled, and sweat began to form on his forehead.
"Of course, you must know that this sort of person's achievements are not small. That's why my advice is that if you can become friends, do your best to become friends. Even if you can't become friends, don't become enemies with them. Otherwise, the ones that will suffer will be you."
"This."
Looking at Lin Ray, Hong Yu's expression became even more serious. He did not think that Lin Ray's evaluation of Lu Yao would be so certain.
"Is that so?" After speaking, Xiao Nie was startled. He then recovered and said with a smile: "Many thanks to fellow Daoist Lin's priceless advice. I, Hong Lou, will remember your words."
"What?" Hearing Xiao Nie say this, Hong Yu was startled. Turning his head, he was puzzled. He had not yet reacted.
"Floor master, fellow Daoist Lin's meaning is very clear. He does not want us to become enemies with the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, especially Lu Guiyun's second daughter Lu Yao. It can even be said that we should do our best to get close to her. If we cannot get close to her, we should not offend her."
"But as I see it, his second daughter seems to be about the same age as you. If possible, the two of you can also … …"
"Stop, stop, stop. Stop right there." Looking at Xiao Nie, Hong Yu rolled his eyes. Hong Yu directly rejected his suggestion.
"Uh … … fine!"
Understanding Hong Yu's personality, he did not force it, "Do as you see fit." Following this, he did not say anything else.
At this moment, the situation below was very heated. Everyone was speechless, especially the people on the second and third floors.
With a "bang" sound, the door to a private room on the second floor was kicked open. A young man in red clothes walked out with his hands on the eaves. With a cold and handsome face and a poker face, it was as if someone had cheated him of a million dollars.
"All of you shut up. Those who do not want to participate in the auction, scram. If there is anyone else who is not here for the auction item, don't blame this young master for not being deliberate."
"You bastard … …"
"Stop, stop, stop. You've gone crazy."
At this time, the people on the first floor heard the sudden warning and felt very unhappy. But in the instant that they saw the person on the second floor speaking, everyone shut up.
However, there was one person who did not shut up and still wanted to curse. In any case, someone to the side saw that he was about to curse and covered his mouth and reminded him. "Kid, you've gone crazy.
Do you know who he is? Even if you want to die, I'll trouble you to go out and die. Don't drag us in, do you understand? Otherwise, you will die very miserably. It's not just us. There's also that young master upstairs. If you really start cursing at him today, I fear that you won't be able to walk out of the city's gates. Oh, that's not right. It's not that you won't be able to walk out of the city's gates.
You won't be able to walk out of the city's gates. "After a moment of silence, the person that had cursed seemed to have understood something and nodded.
"Hu …"
Seeing that the person in his embrace had agreed, he let him go and retreated to the side without saying another word. As for the person that had been let go, he went to a corner and did not say another word.
It was a small interlude. In regards to this small interlude, everyone did not pay much attention to it. Very quickly, everyone forgot about it, and things began to move on the right track.
"Alright, let's not waste any more words. The auction will begin."
"Next, let's invite the first item of today's auction. This item is a good start. I hope that everyone will not be stingy with their bids."
After saying this, without waiting for anyone to speak, the attendant carried the item to Lu Yao's side. In his hand was a piece of black cloth, making it impossible for anyone to see what it was.
"Not bad. I never thought that this thing would be able to block out divine sense. Not bad. It seems that this Wan Bao Pavilion has something." Looking at the black cloth on the stage, Lin Ray thought to himself.
It turned out that just now, in the instant that the attendant went up on stage, out of curiosity, Lin Ray had checked him out. Who knew that just as his divine sense approached the black cloth, it would be blocked by a layer of energy facing the north.
In regards to this, Lin Ray could break through, but if he did so, he might be discovered by the people of Wan Bao Pavilion. Thus, Lin Ray could only choose to give up.
"Alright, next, let me introduce what this item is!" Seeing everyone's confusion, Lu Yao smiled. She reached out and removed the black cloth, revealing a small black cauldron.
"Hm?"
In the instant that the small cauldron appeared, everyone's high spirits were immediately extinguished.
Seeing everyone's gloomy expressions, Lu Yao smiled. She was not affected by this scene. "This item is a pill cauldron. Its origins are unknown, and its grade is unknown. However, it can be confirmed that it was found in the grave of an expert.
"Let's not talk about its appearance for now. Even a high-grade divine artifact would not be able to cut through it, and its materials are unknown. That's why it's the first item.
"If you're an alchemist present, I trust that you'll definitely be able to see how extraordinary this item is."
As she spoke, she looked toward the second and third floors. "Let's not waste any more words. The starting price for the first item is three million mid-grade divine crystals. Each increment will not be lower than five hundred thousand. The auction will now begin. Everyone, please place your bids."
When Lu Yao said this, the scene that he wanted to see did not appear. On the contrary, it was especially cold. It was so cold that it made one tremble in fear.
Lu Yao was stunned by this scene. Her smile froze for a moment before returning to normal.
"Three million five hundred thousand."
Just when Lu Yao and everyone else present felt that no one would bid for the pill cauldron, an elderly voice rang out.
"Three million five hundred thousand. Three million five hundred thousand. Is there anyone else? Is there anyone who wants to go higher?" Lu Yao's face was full of smiles when she heard this voice.
"Kid, do you want this item?"
On the third floor, Lin Ray was in his room. At this moment, Lin Ray was staring at the small black cauldron on the stage. However, at this moment, the Little Dragon's voice rang out in his mind.
"Although this item isn't anything good, if you want it, you can bid for it. Although it's not that great, it'll still be of some use to you."
"… …" Lin Ray rolled his eyes. He was rather speechless at the Little Dragon's words. If it was useful, then it was useful. If it wasn't, then it was useless. What did it mean by 'a little use'?
However, at this moment, Lin Ray had already decided that he wanted this small black cauldron for no other reason than to see the effects of its materials.
Of course, with his current alchemy skills, he did not need a pill cauldron to refine pills.
"Three million five hundred thousand going once."
"Three million five hundred thousand going twice. Is there anyone else who wants to bid?"
"Three million five hundred thousand going thrice …"
"Four million."
With a "wow" sound, the entire place boiled over. Even Lu Yao was stunned. She did not think that there would still be people who wanted to bid.
However, in the instant that she was stunned, Lu Yao recovered. A smile appeared on her face. Was this not the scene that she wanted to see?
"Four million, four million. Is there anyone who wants to bid higher? Is there anyone who wants to bid higher?"
On the second floor, in one of the rooms, an old man and a young man sat together. However, the old man's face was not very good. It could be described as ferocious.
"Hmph, you actually dare to bid against this old man. Fine, this old man wants to see how your wealth can compare to this old man's."
The old man was none other than the person who had just bid three million five hundred thousand. At this moment, he was going all out against Lin Ray.
"Five million."
He could no longer remain calm. When the number of five million appeared, the people on the first floor were not in the pill cauldron. To them, five million was an astronomical figure.
"Do you want to bid?" In the room on the third floor, seeing that his bid had been surpassed, Lin Ray became interested.
"Six million."
"Seven million."
"Eight million!" Seeing the voice that came from the second floor, Lin Ray's heart was filled with interest.
"When it comes to wealth, this great one has never lost to anyone. Something that came out of who knows where actually wants to bid against this venerable one."
"Fuck, I'll kill you."
"Bang!" A muffled sound rang out from the second floor. The old man who had been bidding against Linley had a sinister look on his face. Originally, he had only wanted to use his wealth to crush Linley, but now, the price had risen to eight million.
Eight million was not a small amount anywhere. Even he was no exception. But now, he was already riding a tiger and could not back down. Wanting to back down was impossible. His face would not allow it, and his dignity would not allow it.
