The Cloud Ship Auction Hall was very large and circular. The auction hall was in the middle, surrounded by VIP rooms. There were a total of three floors.
When entering, one had to register their identity and verify their assets to ensure the reliability of the bid.
Every VIP participating in the auction will be allocated according to the VIP room number.
Jun Wu Xie was in room 6, and Su Gang was in room 9.
"Thank you all for coming to this auction." A beautiful woman in her twenties stepped onto the auction stage and said in a sweet voice, "I am the auctioneer of this auction, Yun Wan."
"There are a total of six items in this auction, and each of them is a precious item." Yun Wan paused for a moment and waited for the crowd to become impatient before continuing, "I announce the start of the auction. Let's welcome the first item, the Golden Chain Armor! "
As Yun Wan's sweet voice sounded, a beautiful woman wearing a cheongsam with a slit that revealed her snow-white skin walked out from behind the stage with a jade tray.
The jade tray in her hand was covered with silk, but even so, one could still vaguely see the golden light.
Countless eyes instantly focused on the auction hall.
"This Golden Chain Armor is a one-star peerless item. It took a Three Star blacksmith half a year to refine it with gold." Yun Wan opened the silk and golden light shone. A neatly folded and sparkling chain armor appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Instantly!
Jun Wu Xie could hear the rapid breathing coming from different VIP booths.
Everyone in the hall stared with their eyes wide open.
"The Golden Chain Armor has extremely strong defense." Yun Wan touched the armor with her slender hands and said, "When the armor's runes are activated, it can resist the attack of a half-step Grotto-Heaven Realm martial artist. When facing an opponent of equal strength, with this armor, you will be invincible!"
"The starting price of the Golden Chain Armor is one million gold coins. Each bid must not be lower than one hundred thousand gold coins!"
1.1 million gold coins!
As soon as Yun Wan finished speaking, someone immediately started bidding.
1.2 million gold coins!
1.3 million gold coins!
2 million gold coins!
…
At first, it was the people in the hall who were bidding. Later, someone in a VIP room directly called out a price of two million, completely suppressing the bidders in the hall.
The rest of the bidding was the competition between the VIP rooms.
Jun Wu Xie watched silently. This was the first time he had experienced such a scene.
The people here were all rich and overbearing, as if they were only shouting numbers and not gold coins.
In just a moment, the bidding price soared to five million!
He was observing and did not see anyone from the Wen family bidding. However, he knew that the Wen family must be in one of the VIP rooms.
In the end, the gold-plated chainmail was bought by the person in VIP room 37 for seven million gold coins.
The second item was a One Star Spiritual Sword with a starting price of one million gold.
Offensive spiritual artifacts were more popular than defensive spiritual artifacts.
For a time, the bidding was intense.
In the end, Room 49 bought it for eight million.
As soon as the third auction item appeared, the entire auction house boiled over.
This was a one-star peerless martial technique — Vajra Fist!
A martial skill of this grade would make anyone's eyes red with envy.
For a city the size of Phoenix Skies, the strongest martial techniques of the four great families were only one-star peerless grade!
It could be said that this was a clan suppressing martial technique.
If anyone could have an additional set of one-star peerless martial techniques, they would definitely have a great advantage in the process of competing with other families in the future!
"Vajra Fist, starting price of 1.5 million gold. The bidding starts now!"
"3 million gold!"
Someone doubled the price in one go.
"3.5 million!"
"4 million!"
…
Jun Wu Xie shuddered in fear when he heard this. It was just a One Star superior-grade martial technique. To think that it could make those great families so crazy, spending money like water and adding 500,000 gold coins in one go!
"Luckily, I don't need to buy a martial technique. Otherwise, I really can't afford to learn it. This is only One Star. If it reaches Three Star or Four Star, how bad would it be?"
He could not help but sigh. A martial artist's cultivation was really too costly. Weapons, defensive equipment, medicinal pills, martial techniques — all of them were gold-swallowing beasts, bottomless pits!
The bidding price soared all the way to eight million.
At this price, there were only a few people competing for the price.
Jun Wu Xie originally thought that the martial technique auction was about to come to an end. Unexpectedly, Room 43, who had been silent all this while, suddenly joined the bidding.
"8.5 million!"
This was the price that Room 43 shouted.
The corner of Jun Wu Xie's eyes twitched. Following the voice, his pupils constricted slightly.
Wen Yue!
A familiar face appeared at the window of Room 43. If it wasn't Wen Yue from last night, who else could it be?
Jun Wu Xie quietly moved away from the window to avoid being seen by other people in the other rooms.
"9 million!"
Someone was still bidding and was currently the only person bidding against Wen Yue.
"9.5 million!"
Wen Yue was very confident as he calmly shouted out his bid. With his hands behind his back, he looked like he had a card up his sleeve and was determined to win.
That voice was silent. After hesitating for a moment, he finally snorted and stopped bidding.
"Hahaha!" Seeing that there was no one else bidding against him, Wen Yue smiled and said, "Thank you for letting me win. Then this Vajra Fist, this Patriarch …"
"10 million."
A faint voice came from Room 6.
Immediately, all eyes were focused on the window of Room 6. However, no one could see the figure.
Obviously, the bidder did not want others to know his face.
"This Young Master Jun …"
In Room 9, Su Gang was slightly startled and couldn't help but laugh.
"10.5 million!"
Wen Yue continued to bid. However, the smile on his face froze as he stared coldly at Room 6.
Who was bidding against him?
The voice inside sounded very young. At most, he was around 20 years old. Who would have such financial power at this age?
If he was a Young Master of a family, he probably wouldn't have the qualifications to control such a large amount of money.
"11 million."
It was still the same young voice. It was still as calm as before.
"11.5 million!"
Wen Yue increased the price with a cold face. His eyes were about to spit fire.
This despicable Room Six had made him pay an extra two million gold for nothing!
"12 million."
Jun Wu Xie continued to bid. His voice was deliberately disguised so that it sounded like he was around 20 years old and slightly hoarse.
"You!" Wen Yue's eyes were cold as he stared at Room 6 and said, "Are you sincerely going against my Wen Family?"
"Wen Family Head, are you threatening me?" Jun Wu Xie said indifferently, "When bidding, the highest bidder wins. If Wen Family Head can't afford it, then just withdraw. Why lower your status and embarrass yourself here?"
"Little brat, although this King Kong Fist is rare, it is only worth 10 million. Now that the price has far exceeded it, you still say that you are not deliberately targeting me?" Wen Yue was unable to restrain his anger.
"Miss Yun Wan, does your auction not allow people to bid?"
Jun Wu Xie ignored Wen Yue and directed the conversation to the auctioneer, Yun Wan.
"Wen Family Head." Yun Wan's face revealed anger as she warned, "Do not disturb the order of the auction. As the Wen Family Head, don't you know the rules?"
Jun Wu Xie said with slight ridicule, "Oh, everyone says that the Wen Family's financial power is the top of the Four Great Families in Phoenix Sky City. Now it seems that it is just an undeserved reputation."
"Bastard!" Wen Yue was so angry that his face turned green, "13 million!"
Other than financial power, his Wen Family was not stronger than the Three Great Families in other aspects.
If he could obtain the King Kong Fist this time, in less than two years, he would definitely be able to suppress the Three Great Families.
At that time, in the entire Phoenix Sky City, the Wen Family's share of the resources would greatly increase. To the family, this had a very important long-term meaning.
