"bite!"
The clear sound echoed throughout the auction hall, and everyone turned their eyes to the auction table because the auction had begun.
“It’s finally started.”
Under the gaze of the crowd, a white-haired old man, holding a small hammer, walked up to the auction table with a smile on his face.
"Hello everyone, I am Lu Zhan, the auctioneer of Shouyi Auction House. I am sure you have heard of my name. If you haven't, it doesn't matter. I may host the next auction."
The white-haired old man had a smile on his face as he made a simple self-introduction. His clear voice, wrapped in strong spiritual power, quickly spread throughout the auction hall.
"A strong person from the Spiritual Sea Realm."
Even the auctioneer is a strong man in the Spirit Sea Realm. This Shouyi Auction House does have some strength. However, Wu Chen also knows that if he does not have a certain level of strength, he will never dare to open an auction house.
People were not very interested in these old-fashioned opening remarks; what they cared about was the auction itself.
"First of all, on behalf of Shouyi Auction House, I would like to say hello to everyone. We welcome everyone to Shouyi Auction House."
"As usual, this auction will be held in two rounds. I would like to point out that the prices of some items in the first round may be higher than those in the second round. I wish you all a happy bidding."
Lu Zhan clapped his hands, and the crystal chandeliers around him suddenly lit up, illuminating the entire auction hall.
"I won't waste any more time on small talk. Let me introduce the first auction item, a martial arts secret manual."
As soon as he finished speaking, a waitress with a graceful figure and beautiful appearance came over gracefully, holding an exquisite sandalwood tray and twisting her slender waist like a water snake.
"Meteor Fist, a human-level intermediate martial art, a secret boxing technique. After practicing it to perfection, the fist will be as powerful as the wind, and will flow endlessly."
Lu Zhan took the tray from the waitress and opened it, revealing a hardcover secret book in front of everyone, attracting many people's attention.
"Boxing, this is a good thing."
"Boxing secret book, just in time, I was thinking about changing to learning boxing, and this set of Meteor Fist came at the right time.
"The Zhongtong Fist I practiced is only a low-level human-level martial art, and it's a little weak to use. Now there's a human-level intermediate martial art, and I must get it no matter what."
"Those sects and family members will definitely not participate in snatching this martial arts secret book, so I have a great chance."
Countless people stared at the hardcover secret book with shining eyes, without blinking, filled with greed, wishing they could snatch it away immediately.
Lu Zhan nodded. This kind of martial arts secrets have always been in short supply. Whenever they appear, they will inevitably cause a frenzy of grabbing. The more advanced secrets can even cause the strong people in the Linghai realm or even the Zhenwu realm to go crazy.
"Meteor Fist, starting price, 10,000 taels of silver, each bid must be no less than 1,000 taels, please bid."
As soon as the words fell, the place suddenly became lively.
"Damn, 10,000 taels of silver, why don't you just go and rob it."
"That's right. My entire fortune is only eight thousand taels of silver. How about one of you lend me two thousand taels of silver? I'll pay you back later."
"You are dreaming. I don't even have enough money of my own, so how can I lend you the money?"
As soon as the price was announced, many people backed out. Although the product was good, they were short of money and could only consider themselves unlucky.
Seeing that many people had backed out, Lu Zhan was not panicked at all. Auction items such as martial arts secrets have always been in short supply, so there is no need to worry about no one wanting them.
"These people?"
Looking at the exquisite secret book, Wu Chen shook his head secretly, without any interest. The martial arts he was practicing now were all divine skills, with extremely powerful power, which was far beyond the reach of this human-level intermediate martial arts.
However, his lack of interest does not mean that others are not interested. Some people present are very eager.
"Eleven thousand taels of silver." Someone immediately made an offer, and it was one thousand taels of silver higher than the auction reserve price.
Now that someone has taken the lead, things will be easy.
"Twelve thousand taels of silver."
"Fifteen thousand taels of silver."
As everyone took turns to bid, the price of the Meteor Fist continued to rise, and was finally purchased by a cultivator in the second level of the Spirit Wheel Realm for 28,000 silver coins.
"The second auction item is a top-grade Qi Gathering Pill. The starting price is 10,000 taels of silver. Each bid must be no less than 1,000 taels of silver. Please bid."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud roar from the audience. Countless people stared at the round pill on the auction table with red eyes, feeling endless greed, and they wished they could snatch it away immediately and make it their own.
"Medicine, it's a good thing. I haven't taken any medicine for three months. I almost forgot what it tastes like."
"This is a top-grade pill. Not bad. My current cultivation level is the eighth level of Qi training. After taking this pill, I might be able to break through to the ninth level of Qi training."
"You're really wasting it on using a top-grade elixir to break through the ninth level of the Qi training realm. If it were me, I would definitely save it for when I break through the Spirit Wheel realm."
"You're right. I almost made a big mistake."
"I brought 25,000 silver coins this time, so I'm sure I can get this Qi Gathering Pill."
"I will kill anyone who dares to snatch this pill from me."
In the private room, Wu Chen also shook his head. This top-grade Qi Gathering Pill was simply garbage to him. He was too lazy to even refine it, let alone eat it.
"Twelve thousand taels of silver."
"Fifteen thousand taels of silver."
"Twenty thousand taels of silver."
Many people in the auction hall went crazy, with pairs of red eyes staring at the top-grade Qi Gathering Pill. The price also rose very quickly, reaching 20,000 taels of silver after only three bids, which was much faster than the Meteor Fist.
At the auction table, Lu Zhan had a smile on his face. The higher the price of the auction item, the more enthusiastic everyone was, and the higher his salary would be.
Although the Qi Gathering Pill is a good thing, its price is limited after all. After it reaches 33,000 silver coins, no one will raise the price anymore.
"Thirty-three thousand taels of silver once."
Lu Zhan looked around the auction room, hoping someone would bid again, but to his disappointment, no one was willing to raise the price.
"Thirty-three thousand taels of silver, twice."
Still no one made a bid. Someone had already raised a sign, but after thinking about it, he put it down. Spending more than 30,000 silver coins to buy a top-grade Qi Gathering Pill seemed not worth it.
"Thirty-three thousand taels of silver three times, congratulations to this friend."
In fact, generally speaking, the market price of a first-grade top-quality elixir is only about 20,000 taels of silver. It can be sold for 33,000 taels of silver, which is already very good.
Of course, for the same thing, who doesn't want to sell it at a higher price? The higher the price, the more money you can make. This is human nature.
