Mo Tiankong directly chose a room on the 8th floor and sat down to wait. Before he entered, he flipped over the sign outside the door to prove that this room was occupied.
The rooms on the top floor were the largest, and they were designed by Zhang Tiannan. There were only 81 rooms, and all of them were 500 square meters of super comfortable space.
There were martial artists guarding the entrance to the 7th floor, and those without some status wouldn't be able to come up. In a world where the strong preyed on the weak, there was no need to insist on absolute fairness.
Strength spoke the loudest here, and as for the threshold to the 8th floor, it was a power that had a Martial Emperor Realm expert holding down the fort.
This was respect towards the strong, and this was necessary. Mo Tiankong hadn't thought of this, as his strength was sufficient to make everyone follow his rules.
But there was no need for that. They were already on the 8th floor, and if they didn't bid from the beginning until the end, then it would be a loss of face.
Since it was able to increase consumption, Mo Tiankong didn't mind making more of these types of tiered rooms.
As for the small rooms below the 7th floor and the outdoor tables and chairs at the lowest floor, one could sit as one pleased. But even though there were many small rooms, the number was limited.
Most of the martial artists would surely sit at the outdoor tables and chairs.
The place was large enough, and there were many martial artists that came today. However, every table had a box of Thousand Island Lake's beer. When he thought of this, Mo Tiankong's face couldn't help but twitch.
The number of small rooms and outdoor tables and chairs had already exceeded 10,000. In other words, there were over 10,000 tables.
He'd set up the Thousand Island Lake's beer last night, and with the Zhang Clan's martial artists guarding it, no one dared come over to steal it.
Mo Tiankong had spent over 60 million spirit stones to purchase the Thousand Island Lake's beer because of this. Moreover, Mo Tiankong had said that he would gift the Zhang Clan any that weren't used up.
Fortunately, there were many martial artists that came today. Within Mo Tiankong's Domain, he'd already sensed that more than half of the rooms were filled with martial artists. As for the outdoor tables and chairs, there were only a small number of martial artists there.
But this wasn't the end, as there was still a large number of martial artists at the entrance of the auction house.
As the auctioneer, Ya Qing had entered the auction group as well, and she would mainly bid and bid according to the bids in the group.
It only took a few days to build this building. If it was on Earth, Mo Tiankong felt that it would take at least a year.
This was with the help of several construction teams. Otherwise, it would take a year. Of course, the construction of the main body of the building was simpler.
The sturdiness of the building was not high, but the cultivators who came had decent cultivations. Even if it collapsed, it would not hurt anyone.
Besides, with Mo Tiankong here, how could it be damaged? No, it should be said that it could not collapse.
In the future, after the Zhang family set up a reinforcement array, the defensive power of this building would skyrocket. As for the specifics, it still depended on the strength of the array.
Martial artists also began to enter the rooms on the eighth floor. The eighty-one rooms corresponded to eighty-one Martial Emperor level powers. Clearly, even if all the martial artists of the Southeastern Xuan Region came, they wouldn't be able to gather enough rooms.
The Zhang family, the Tang family, and the Li and Ye families naturally came as well. Moreover, they were also in the rooms on the eighth floor. The four giants of Miracle City had made an exception to go up to the eighth floor.
This was normal. After all, the Zhang family could be considered the true owner of the auction house. They had no choice even if they wanted to.
Also, before the array was set up, Mo Tiankong's domain would act as the array for this auction, isolating the mental energy perception of the various rooms.
Mo Tiankong obviously came early, because he only finished entering the venue after 12: 30 in the afternoon.
In Mo Tiankong's perception, other than the rooms on the eighth floor that were not full, the rooms on the seventh floor and below were basically full. There were also a large number of martial artists who could only choose to sit on the tables and chairs on the open-air ground floor.
The auction officially entered the countdown. Because time was limited, there was no list after the martial artists entered the venue. If they were to write it by hand, they would have to prepare it a few days in advance.
Clearly, Mo Tiankong did not look like someone who would do such a thing. Therefore, everyone was waiting in boredom.
Fortunately, there was free beer from the Thousand Island Lake. Mo Tiankong really sensed that many martial artists had packed food for themselves.
They were probably not here to participate in the auction, but to have a meal together.
However, now was not the time to talk about this. There were no more martial artists entering the venue and the guards at the entrance of the auction house had closed the door.
"Store Manager Mo, this is your phone."
A martial artist from the Zhang family ran all the way to the eighth floor and knocked on the door to deliver the phone.
Naturally, the person who created the group was Mo Tiankong's phone. Moreover, Mo Tiankong had also separated a strand of his soul to lock onto the phone. The martial artist in charge of this matter did not use his phone randomly.
This group only had about 2000 people. Although there was a difference from the actual number of people present, most of the forces came with many martial artists. When it came to registration, not all of them would be registered.
For example, if the King of Da Qian came personally, the Martial Emperor experts would definitely be in the same room. This would definitely not be registered.
"The auction officially begins!"
As the organizer of this auction, Mo Tiankong naturally had to give an opening speech.
However, he didn't show himself and was still in the room. His voice was neither loud nor soft, yet it suddenly appeared by the ears of every martial artist. Even the Martial Emperor experts didn't notice the source of the voice.
What a joke, these were all small tricks within the domain.
However, this move caused many experts to be slightly shocked. After all, they didn't even notice a trace of abnormality. Mo Tiankong's cultivation still caused these people to be shocked.
Along with Mo Tiankong's words, Ya Qing walked out from the room behind the stage.
Ya Qing wore a fiery red dress today. Coupled with her great beauty, it instantly caused the eyes of others to light up. Her gorgeous clothes were still very eye-catching.
Coupled with her fair skin, Mo Tiankong felt that she was very beautiful.
"Welcome everyone to this auction …"
As usual, Ya Qing very skillfully set the tempo.
"Chewing gum: a pack of five pieces. When one's Spiritual Energy is exhausted, chewing a piece will allow one to slowly recover. The effect has a time limit of 15 minutes, and it depends on the degree of recovery of the user's cultivation."
"Alright, that's all for the introduction. I believe everyone is getting impatient from waiting. The next item is chewing gum, which is no longer sold in the grocery store. There are five hundred packs in a set, and there are six sets in total. Now, we will begin the auction for the first set. The starting price is three million spirit stones. Everyone can place their bids through the messaging software. If no one bids within one minute, the item will be passed through the auction. Finally, after bidding for the item, please leave your room or table number.
Ya Qing's voice was extremely beautiful, and she grasped the rhythm of her tone very well. She was indeed an experienced auctioneer.
First introducing the item, then introducing the rules. This conformed to the flow of the auction.
Moreover, the martial artist at the side was very tactful. After Ya Qing started her introduction, the item was brought up, and there was even a Spatial Ring at the side.
This was prepared to be stored in the Spatial Ring after the auction, and then be sent to the private room of the martial artist.
It wasn't that martial artists were unable to pick up 500 packs of chewing gum, but this sort of service was slightly more high-end.
This batch of Spatial Rings was naturally provided by Mo Tiankong, and the Spatial Rings that he'd accumulated in the past could finally be put to use.
It was fortunate that Mo Tiankong hadn't thrown them away or sold them, otherwise, he'd have to purchase a batch of Spatial Rings.
Although it didn't cost much spirit stones, he didn't have to spend spirit stones if he had them.
Along with Ya Qing's voice sounding out, the martial artists in the various rooms lowered their heads and took out their phones. As for leaving their room numbers, it was only a convenience given by the martial artists.
The small private rooms and the outdoor tables and chairs were all labeled, and Mo Tiankong's room was room number 1.
The atmosphere had already been stirred up, and rows of numbers swiftly appeared in the messaging group.
Mo Tiankong had taken out his phone long ago. As expected, the more people there are, the greater the competition. Moreover, even though the first item wasn't a particularly good item, it wasn't bad.
After all, it was an item from the general store. Moreover, it wasn't sold now, and it was considered a limited edition item.
The first dish of this auction could be considered to be alright, but these 500 packs of chewing gum were slightly strange.
Even if the chewing gum was auctioned according to the unit price, it was absolutely not a cheap item.
"Lan Family's Patriarch has bid 10,000,000 spirit stones. If no one continues to bid after 10 seconds, then this pack of chewing gum will belong to Lan Family's Patriarch."
In a short period of time, the bids in the messaging group had already reached 10,000,000 spirit stones. This was the charm of an auction, and it was able to auction an item for a price that was several times its original price.
Seeing the interface stop moving, Ya Qing's voice sounded out in a timely manner.
Mo Tiankong didn't know who this Lan Family's Patriarch was, but it didn't hinder Mo Tiankong from being happy.
The chewing gum had been auctioned for four times its original price, so how could he not be happy?
Even though 10,000,000 spirit stones wasn't much, it was merely a pack of chewing gum, and there were even more precious items later on.
"Congratulations to Lan Family's Patriarch for winning this pack of chewing gum."
10 seconds later, no one increased the bid, and Ya Qing announced the final bidder.
"Room number 305."
After announcing the winner, Ya Qing instructed the martial artist at the side in a low voice.
After that, this martial artist put away the pack of chewing gum and hurriedly left the stage, and then another martial artist walked up and waited at the side.
As for the spirit stones collected, they would surely not be sent over to Mo Tiankong. There were martial artists in the room backstage that would count the gains, and when the auction ended, they would be given to Mo Tiankong in one go.
"Everyone doesn't seem to have much enthusiasm for the first item, but I presume everyone will surely be interested in the second item, the Fire Dragon Fruit. After consuming it, one's comprehension of the Dao of Fire will increase greatly. The starting price is 30,000,000 spirit stones."
A jade plate was presented at the center of the auction stage, and there was a fiery red fruit on it.
As soon as he finished speaking, many powers were unable to maintain their composure, and the price of this Fire Dragon Fruit rose rapidly in the You Xin Group. The lowest bid had increased by 100,000 spirit stones. Of course, the majority was still increasing by 1,000,000 spirit stones.
This was a top-rate treasure of heaven and earth obtained from the desolate wilderness, and it was even useful to Martial Emperor Realm experts. Moreover, if one cultivated four Daos of the five elements, and the last Dao was the Dao of Fire, then one's comprehension would increase greatly and be of great help. It was even to the extent that one might be able to rely on this treasure of heaven and earth to comprehend the Dao of Fire.
But it was surely impossible to attain perfection in the five elements in a single step, and even then, this Fire Dragon Fruit was extremely precious.
