Chapter 1004 - Crazy AuctionThis gigantic cave was arranged like a hall, with many seats placed on it. Li Mu with his sharp eyes discovered that all the seats had numbers arranged on them, looking neat and tidy, with an extremely large scale. At this moment, quite a few seats had already been selected.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, Fellow Xiao, this is the venue for the auction. There are two stages to the auction this time, the first stage is the items being auctioned by us, the owners of the shops, and we are free to bid.""As for the second stage, it is also the stage that is the most attracting to people in this private auction. That is, everyone is free to enter the stage and bid, and can take out items that you wish to auction and then attract people to auction. Of course, there are some people here who are not the owners of crystal, so there are usually many people who trade for items."
Manager w.a.n.g was clearly very familiar with this auction so he brought Li Mu and sat in the three seats at the back of the hall.
Oh, so that"s how it is. I was just wondering why the auction was so mysterious. It seems like the auction isn"t that simple. Oh, right.
Li Mu said to the Manager w.a.n.g with a smile that was not a smile.
"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Xu is joking. Actually, you are only half right. Besides the few big shops in my Thunder Pavilion, Heavenly Alliance is also partic.i.p.ating. Otherwise, how could they stay in the Holy City for so long?"Hearing that, Li Mu was slightly shocked. He never thought that the real master of the Sacred City, the League of Nations, would actually join such an organization.
"I never thought that the legendary League of Nations would actually partic.i.p.ate in this kind of underground organization. This is somewhat out of my expectations. Manager w.a.n.g, can I take something out to auction later?"
Seeing that more and more people were gathered in the hall, Li Mu continued to ask.
"Of course, there will be people who will be in charge of the auction later. After the first stage of the auction is over, they will take turns to arrange the seats in their own order. Everyone will have a chance."
Regarding Li Mu"s questions, Li Mu was not surprised at all. He knew that people like him and Xiao Ya, who were brought here by his Thunder Pavilion, would definitely benefit if a deal was made at the auction. Otherwise, would not be so enthusiastic.As the number of people entering the hall increased, more than half of the empty seats were quickly filled. Li Mu estimated that there were more than a hundred and thirty people in the hall.
In next to no time, a dozen young women with heavy makeup and revealing clothes walked out from the pa.s.sages on both sides of the hall.
The dozen or so heavily made up women did not hide their faces. Each of them had excellent looks and were standing in every corner of the hall. Clearly, they were similar to maids.
After half an incense worth of time, a person wearing a golden mask walked out from a tunnel. He quickly walked to a tall platform in front of the hall.
"My fellow dao friends, I, Tian Shisan, am presiding over this Heavenly Alliance"s auction today. Many of you dao friends are old acquaintances, and everyone understands the rules. As for the few new dao friends, if there"s anything you don"t understand, you can ask your introducers.""According to the old rules, we will start the Heavenly Alliance"s auction first. This time, we have prepared over 170 items for auction, the old rules, the highest bidder gets them, if you don"t have enough crystal s, you can use them as collateral!" "Enough nonsense, let the auction begin!"
"Today"s first auction item, a Superior Grade Frigid Cloud Pure Heart Pill, is capable of helping those who cultivate fire attribute cultivation methods to stabilize the berserk True Essence in their bodies when they make a breakthrough. It is suitable for cultivators from Tongxuan realm to True King Realm, and its starting price is a hundred thousand crystal!"
As Tian Shisan spoke, he took out a pill bottle from his storage ring and poured out a snow-white pellet that emitted a faint cold aura, and showed it to everyone.
From the voice of the person who called himself Tian Shisan, Li Mu could tell that he was probably a middle-aged man. Because of the effect of the mask he wore, it was possible for Li Mu to not be able to detect the cultivation level of the person he was wearing, so Tian Shisan could only say a few simple words on the stage before starting the auction. He was extremely familiar with the way the auction was conducted.
"I want the Frigid Cloud Pure Heart Pill, two hundred thousand crystal!"
"I offer twenty-five!"
"Three hundred thousand!"After the appearance of the first auction item, it quickly attracted a lot of bids. Although Li Mu had roamed the cultivation world for many years, the number of times he had partic.i.p.ated in the auction could be counted on one hand. Furthermore, the level of auction he had partic.i.p.ated in was not high, so this was the first time he had partic.i.p.ated in an auction of this level.
This caused Li Mu, who held his wealth, to be unable to resist gulping down a mouthful of saliva. However, the cultivation method he cultivated was not of the fire attribute, so he could only watch from the sidelines.
The second auction item is the king level thunder attributed lightning attribute treasure, the Lightning Shadow Returning Ruler. Everyone, be careful, this treasure has not been refined for long, and has not even dripped any blood on it to confirm that it is the owner. Therefore, this treasure does not need to be refined, it only needs a drop of blood to confirm that it is the owner.
After the first item was auctioned, Tian Shisan immediately took out the second item. This time, it was a King Level Soul Treasure, and it did not have any blood on it, which meant that this treasure was most suitable to be refined into a Intrinsic Soul Treasure."Manager w.a.n.g, your Heavenly Alliance really has incredible methods. They even auction away a treasure that has yet to be bound in blood. I don"t think they have a fair and honorable origin."
Looking at the lightning figure that was crazily being bid for, Li Mu sent a sound transmission with a smile yet not a smile."Hahaha, Fellow Daoist Xu is really smart, to tell you the truth, this Lightning Shadow Primordius is actually my Thunder Pavilion"s possession, as for its origin, there is nothing to hide, it is the spoils of war obtained after an elder of my Zongtian Violet Thunder Sect killed a lightning attribute rogue cultivator."
"Speaking of which, that rogue cultivator"s luck is just too bad. Half of his wealth was used to refine the Thunder Shadow Origin Convergence Ruler, and he was just short on one last step to bind it with blood. In the end, he still died at the hands of my sect"s elder, but my sect"s elder still does not like this kind of thing, so he used it to auction it."
Li Mu laughed coldly in his heart. He knew that if it wasn"t for the fact that the other party was a rogue cultivator, Manager w.a.n.g would definitely not have told him about this.
Because Li Mu was not lacking in spirit treasures, he was not interested in the Lightning Shadow Primordius. Although Xiao Ya was a lightning attribute cultivator, it was clear that he did not have any interest in items of this level, and thus did not partic.i.p.ate in the auction.At the same time, his heart was inexplicably excited. There were many spoils of war similar to this kind of True King level Soul Treasure on his body, and after calculating, if he were to add up to the price at this auction, then his wealth would be in the tens of millions, or even more.
Although Li Mu did not partic.i.p.ate in the bidding, he was amazed by the scene before him. There were pills, treasures, talismans, array discs, smithing materials, and so on and so forth."Alright, everyone please take note of this auction item. semisage s, starting bid: 3 million!"
After many auctions, Tian Shisan took out a three feet long blade shaped spirit treasure that was filled with a dense lightning aura. This spirit treasure called the Wild Thunder Blade immediately caused a commotion amongst most of the cultivators present.
Although semisage were still a small step away from becoming a genuine saint artifact, they were not easily found in the cultivation world. Although some large sects had saint artifact semisage, their numbers were definitely not that high.
This was because not everyone could refine such a thing. Not only must they have the appropriate cultivation level, they also needed the appropriate materials. The most important thing was that in modern cultivation world, cultivators of the Transcendence Saint Stage were becoming fewer in number, so Soul Treasures of this level were even rarer.Although Li Mu had quite a number of semisage on him, they were all people that he had s.n.a.t.c.hed with all his might, and those that he had s.n.a.t.c.hed were actually elders from the large sects. For ordinary cultivators, even if they reached the True King Realm, they would still not be able to obtain spirit treasures of this level easily.
"Three million two hundred thousand!""Three hundred and fifty-five!"
"Three million six hundred thousand!"
After the semisage appeared on the stage, after a moment of shock, someone quickly called out a bid. Because semisage were rare, the bidding price skyrocketed all the way from the starting bid of three million to five million and six hundred thousand.After someone announced a sky-high price of five million six hundred thousand crystal, the originally bustling hall quickly quieted down. Tian Shisan swept his gaze across everyone present and asked in a serious tone: "Fellow Daoist seventy-third bid, is there anyone that is willing to pay five million six hundred thousand?" Six million! "
Seeing that no one raised the bid of five million and six hundred thousand, suddenly, Xiao Ya raised the bid of a much higher price. Following Xiao Ya"s bid, many people immediately started to sigh, although there were many True King Stage experts, ordinary True Kings would not be able to offer as high of a price as six million crystal, thus many people looked towards Xiao Ya.
"Are you crazy? 6 million, you have so many crystal, why don"t you buy them from me? I have a few semisage!"
Following Xiao Ya"s bid, Li Mu hurriedly sent a sound transmission to Xiao Ya."I know how many semisage you have, but do you have a lightning attribute semisage? "I train in a thunder-attribute cultivation technique, so I like thunder-attribute Soul Treasures. If so, their compatibility with me will be even higher."
In the face of Li Mu"s sound transmission, Xiao Ya replied unconcernedly. Hearing this, Li Mu immediately fell silent."Six million one hundred thousand!"
Following Xiao Ya"s bid, the person sitting on the seat 73 fell silent for a moment, and then he increased by another 100k, obviously he was determined to get this Wild Thunder Blade."Six million one hundred and one!"
After being pressured again, Xiao Ya was a little annoyed. Without thinking, she gave another price, but her price just so happened to be one more crystal than number seventy-three. This caused many people present to cast strange gazes at her.
"Six million two hundred thousand!"
Number 73 didn"t expect that Xiao Ya would actually go against him and he continued to raise the price. However, his tone was clearly filled with anger."Six million two hundred thousand!"
"Six million five hundred thousand!""Six million five hundred thousand and one!"
After Xiao Ya raised the price again and again, the price was raised to six million five hundred thousand and one crystal. And at this point, the number seventy-three finally stopped talking, and in the end, the semisage was successfully won by Xiao Ya, but this attracted a fierce glare from number seventy-three. Luckily, Xiao Ya was wearing a mask, so the other party was unable to see her true appearance, otherwise it would have been quite troublesome.
After the Wild Thunder Blade was auctioned off, very quickly a charming maid brought it to Xiao Ya"s side. After Xiao Ya threw out a bag of crystal, he successfully kept the Wild Thunder Blade into her storage ring, causing many people who were sitting near Xiao Ya to be extremely envious, thinking that Xiao Ya was a big shot."The next auction item will be of great benefit to those who cultivate the cold yin attribute cultivation technique, especially when breaking through bottlenecks, it will increase their success rate by quite a bit. One bottle of holy water!"
The moment Xiao Ya kept the Wild Thunder Blade into her storage ring, Tian Shisan, who was on stage, reported an auction item that surprised Li Mu greatly.
