Ling Xiao smiled slightly. On Zhang Ye’s booth, the phoenix hairpin was not the most precious item. The most precious item was the bronze Buddha statue.
Ling Xiao found an animal skin map from the bronze Buddha statue. It was very similar to the one he got in the Ferocious Beast Mountain Range. Ling Xiao also had a vague feeling that when all the maps were collected, something unexpected might happen to him.
"Ling Xiao, the auction is about to begin!"
Ling Qingqing's eyes lit up, and she pointed outside the box and said with a smile.
In the center of the auction hall, an old man with white hair and beard walked up. He had a ruddy face and was in high spirits. His cultivation had reached the ninth level of the Grandmaster realm.
"He is Xia Rui, the elder of the Xia family. Although the Xia family is a royal family, it is also the largest family in the Great Wilderness Ancient Country, and has a strong foundation!"
Ling Qingqing pointed at the old man below and introduced him to Ling Xiao.
Xia Rui exuded a powerful aura, and the noisy hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes fell on Xia Rui.
Xia Rui smiled slightly, bowed to everyone and said: "Welcome everyone to participate in the auction of the Great Wilderness Auction House. As an annual large-scale auction, the Great Wilderness Auction House has carefully prepared many precious treasures. I believe that you will not be disappointed. Well, without further ado, let us invite the first auction item!"
A pretty maid in a red dress came up, holding a milky white jade box in her hands, with a faint halo emanating from it.
The jade box was gently opened, revealing a night-shining pearl the size of a longan, emitting a bright light that was as pure and white as moonlight and full of spiritual energy.
"The Deep Sea Night Pearl was obtained by a powerful man in the Heavenly Man Realm after he killed a sixth-order deep-sea clam monster. Carrying it with you can clear your mind and eyes, get rid of inner demons, and gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, increasing your cultivation speed by 20%. It is an excellent treasure to assist cultivation!
The base price is 10,000 top-grade spirit stones, and each bid must not be less than 1,000 top-grade spirit stones. Please make your bid now!"
Xia Rui said with a smile, and immediately everyone's eyes fell on the Deep Sea Night Pearl, revealing a look of great surprise.
This is a treasure from the body of a sixth-rank monster. No one expected such a rare treasure to appear at the beginning of the auction. Immediately, many people's eyes showed desire.
In particular, the eyes of many female warriors and dignitaries were shining. No woman could resist such a sparkling gem.
Even Ling Qingqing's eyes showed a hint of something strange.
"I'll offer you 10,000 top-grade spirit stones!"
"Fifteen thousand!"
"Twenty thousand!"
"… "
Almost as soon as Xia Rui finished speaking, people began to rush to bid.
The whole hall was bustling with activity. A deep-sea luminous pearl instantly made the auction extremely popular.
"Sister Qingqing, do you like this deep-sea night-shining pearl? Why don't I take a picture of it and give it to you!"
Ling Xiao smiled slightly.
Ling Qingqing rolled her eyes at him and said, "You have a lot of spirit stones. Although this deep-sea night-shining pearl is good, it is far inferior to the Phoenix Hairpin you gave me! The Phoenix Hairpin can increase the speed of cultivation by 50%, and it is also a self-defense treasure! Don't make a random offer. The Taiyin Divine Essence is not cheap. I heard that the Moon God came here for this purpose this time!"
"Moon Goddess?"
There was a gleam of light in Ling Xiao's eyes. The Moon Goddess was the body of Taiyin. If one could obtain the Taiyin Essence by practicing Taiyin True Skill, it would naturally be of great benefit to his cultivation.
But the Taiyin Essence is the key to Ling Xiao's practice of the Heaven-Swallowing Secret Art, and he has no intention of giving it to anyone.
Moon Goddess, not even possible!
When the price of the Deep Sea Night Pearl rose to 200,000 top-grade spirit stones, the number of bidders gradually decreased.
In the end, the Deep Sea Night Pearl was obtained by a fat man in brocade clothes for twenty-one top-grade spirit stones, and then he gave it to a delicate and charming woman beside him. The woman held the pearl in her arms with excitement on her face.
In box number 13.
A middle-aged man in black said to Chen Feng respectfully, "Master, I have checked it out. That boy and Miss Qingqing entered the box number nine, and the old man following them was Master Jiaomu!"
"Master Jiao Mu?" Chen Fengdao turned around, a hint of shock showing in his gloomy eyes.
"What is the relationship between Ling Xiao and Master Jiao Mu? How could he participate in the auction with Master Jiao Mu? But if you dare to offend me, Chen Fengdao, I will make sure you get nothing today! As long as Ling Xiao bids, raise the price for me, and don't let him get anything!"
The middle-aged man showed a hint of hesitation in his eyes, and said, "Young Master, will this offend Master Jiaomu?"
"Master Jiaomu? Hehe, someone will deal with him, and he won't live long!" Chen Fengdao sneered.
In the third box, He Qing and several disciples of Wanshoumen were sitting there.
"Elder He, there is indeed a spiritual secret technique for improving spiritual power to be auctioned this time, called the Small Soul Refining Technique, but the person who sent it to the auction is very mysterious and we haven't found out yet!"
"Very good! Our goal this time is the Minor Soul Refining Technique. This secret technique for improving spiritual power must not fall into the hands of Sun, Moon, and Stars!"
There was a gleam of brilliance in He Qing's eyes, and he spoke slowly.
"Yes, Elder He, Ling Xiao is here too, in box number nine! I think he wants to buy some treasures to improve his cultivation. It seems that he is already afraid of the life-and-death battle in a month!" The disciple who spoke sneered.
"Ling Xiao? He is just a grasshopper in autumn, he won't be able to jump for a few more days! But you guys should pay attention later, as long as Ling Xiao wants to bid for a treasure, you must raise the price for me, I will make him get nothing!"
There was also a hint of coldness in He Qing's eyes.
"The next auction item is a mid-grade treasure made by Master Xuanqi, the Greedy Wolf Blade! I don't need to say much about Master Xuanqi. Everyone knows that he is the only top-grade weapon refining master in our Great Wilderness Ancient Country. Everything he refines is a top-grade product!
The reserve price of the Greedy Wolf Blade is 90,000 Supreme Spirit Stones. Each bid must not be less than 1,000 Supreme Spirit Stones. Bidding begins now!"
Xia Rui's voice sounded, and a pretty maid came up holding a pitch-black sword.
The sword was five feet long and as black as ink. The blade flashed with cold light, the edge had serrations, and there was a blood groove on the blade. A strong evil aura emanated from it.
Suddenly, the eyes of many warriors lit up.
The work of Master Xuanqi is something you can only come across by chance, and this Tanlang Sword looks so domineering, it is simply the weapon that every man dreams of!
"I'll give you 110,000!"
"You want to buy the work of Master Xuanqi for only 110,000? Hehe, you are just dreaming! I will give you 200,000!"
"Two hundred and fifty thousand!"
"… "
Bids came one after another, and before long, the price of the Greedy Wolf Sword was raised to 500,000 top-grade spirit stones.
Master Xuanqi is so famous that all the weapons he makes are top-quality. However, due to his strange temper and his excessive pursuit of perfection, there are not many of his weapons circulating on the market.
Finally, the Greedy Wolf Blade was won by a powerful man at the seventh level of the Grandmaster Realm at a high price of 820,000 top-grade spirit stones.
"It turns out to be Li Kui, the commander of the Imperial Guards. I heard that he is a man of the eldest prince Xia Yunjie. This Greedy Wolf Blade will be a great help to him!"
Someone exclaimed and recognized the identity of the armored man who won the Tanlang Sword.
"The next item for auction is a low-grade treasure, the Heavy Mystic Battle Armor..."
Following Xia Rui's announcement, another auction item was brought up by the maid.
