On the 66th floor of the temple, at nine o'clock in the morning, countless bodyguards had gathered outside the venue, creating a huge crowd.
The venue had 500 seats, but there were 7,000 to 8,000 bodyguards, making the entire temple packed.
"Boss Li, long time no see. I didn't expect you to come to such a high-end auction. Do you have so much money?"
"No, no. Although I can't compare to you, the boss, who has more than a dozen financial groups as support, I still have tens of trillions. It won't be cheap for some people to take it over."
"Really? That's good. I'm just afraid that the price will be too low, you know. Although the items this time are all top-quality, the price is too low, and it's not easy for someone of my status to use them. Then I'll trouble Boss Li to help raise the price."
Outside the auction venue, a group of people arrived one after another. Some were business enemies, and some were good friends who had not seen each other for many years.
For a while, the occasion was unprecedented.
"Mr. Yu! After I finish my opening remarks, you will go on stage to start the auction. After the items are auctioned, we will transfer the money next door. Mr. Xie also gave instructions about the security issue. Here is the information. Please see if there is anything that needs to be improved!" The host was giving the final instructions to Yu Sheng.
After looking at the security map and the bodyguards outside, Yu Sheng secretly shook his head. He didn't expect so many people to be sent to participate in an auction. He took a breath and said, "No problem! It's almost time, let's get started!"
"Well, I'll go and let everyone in, and the auction will start on time at 9:30!" the host said quickly.
"These people are so powerful!" Compared to the auction itself, Yu Sheng was more interested in these bodyguards.
The system agreed and said, "As an individual, I may not be able to be compared with you, but in terms of professionalism, you are still okay. Be careful, don't let others shoot you! Don't be arrogant, this world is not peaceful. There is no guarantee that someone will not dare to attack you."
"Here?" Yu Sheng smiled and shook his head. You know, the Temple is the largest force in the world now, and no one has ever seen how powerful it is.
However, I have never heard of anyone causing trouble in the temple. Making trouble here is almost the same as seeking death. Naturally, Yu Sheng will not be the first person to test the waters.
The guests came in one by one. They were all agents of the consortium.
They are all big shots in the outside world.
I didn’t expect so many people to come at once. Yu Sheng was secretly surprised.
"Welcome everyone to this special auction hosted by Mr. Yu Sheng. I am the host, He Yide. Our requirement for today's auction is that the bid must exceed 10 billion at a time, and only cash transactions are accepted. The highest bidder wins. And here is a good news to tell you in advance, that is, such an auction has been carefully considered and decided by Mr. Yu, and such a private auction will be held every five years in the future..." The host explained the rules and some information to the people around him.
There was a hint of surprise in the eyes of the people around.
"Once every five years, this Yu Sheng is really rich. Does he have so many treasures?"
"Flowing Cloud Boots, Nine-transformation Returning Origin Pill, and the Soul Devouring Art. I don't know what they are, but they don't look cheap. I wonder how many of them I can get with the 7 trillion I prepared."
"Nine Transformations Returning to the Origin Pill, the higher-ups said we must get it this time. But the situation here doesn't look good, what price should I offer to get it in one fell swoop, but not too high?"
Everyone has their own thoughts in mind, and their goals are different.
The most valuable thing this time is the "Soul Swallowing Art", but in fact not many people come for this "Soul Swallowing Art". Although they know that this is the finale treasure, Yu Sheng did not talk about the special features of this technique.
On the contrary, the Nine-Turn Return to Origin Pill that can heal all injuries is what everyone wants to fight for. Although there is only one, this thing is of infinite use to some forces.
Moreover, at critical moments, this domineering Nine Revolutions Return to Origin Pill can be used as a bargaining chip.
The host opened the show for three minutes before finally saying, "Well, let's invite Mr. Yu to kick off today's auction!"
Crash!
There was a round of enthusiastic applause, and Yu Sheng walked up to him. He picked up the microphone, looked at the crowd and said, "I won't waste any more words. I believe everyone wants to see the items for auction with their own eyes. Then let's start with the Liuyun Boots."
As he spoke, Yu Sheng put down his Liuyun boots on the booth nearby. Everyone's eyes were focused on these seemingly ordinary boots.
"Nothing special?"
“It doesn’t look like a treasure at all!”
“What’s the starting price for this thing going to be?”
"What's the use of buying it?"
There was confusion in everyone's eyes, and it was obvious that not many people were interested in this thing.
At this time, Yu Sheng said, "First of all, let me introduce to you. This Liuyun boot is made of the fur of an exotic animal. Although it looks ordinary, it can increase the speed by three times. And its defense is definitely not something that can be damaged by ordinary magic weapons. You don't need any other power to use it, even ordinary people can use it. Of course, it is best for warriors to use it. There is a saying that all martial arts in the world are indestructible, only speed can't be broken! The starting price of this auction item is 2 trillion. Everyone, please bid!"
Everyone was stunned. Although they knew the price was not cheap, two trillion was obviously a bit expensive.
"It's equipment used by warriors. It's good stuff, but the price of two trillion is a joke!"
"After all, this thing is only used by one person, and it is really amazing that it can increase the speed by three times. But two trillion..."
"Forget it, let's wait for the next one. This thing is flashy and impractical. Although there are some low-level warriors in the organization, giving them this thing..."
"… "
Everyone was criticizing, Yu Sheng was speechless, and no one made a bid for a full minute.
"I..." Yu Sheng felt like cursing the whole family. You know, this thing has been exchanged from the system. It's impossible to return it now.
You can use it yourself, but with Yu Sheng’s current level of cultivation, you don’t need to use it yourself at all.
“Then…” Seeing that no one raised a sign, Yu Sheng was about to bid it away helplessly, but at this time, someone raised a sign and said, “Two trillion!”
Suddenly, everyone present looked at this sucker.
The person holding the sign was a fat man, who was in the middle stage of the Golden Core Cultivation. What surprised Yu Sheng was the danger level of this fat man. A person in the middle stage of the Golden Core Cultivation was rated as a Dragon-level Minor Success by the system.
You should know that some Nascent Soul cultivators cannot reach this danger level.
"It's the money of the temple deacon. Damn, the temple actually wants such useless things."
"That's not right. Since the temple paid for it, it must be worth the price. Do you want to give it a try?"
"What are you trying for? Do you think you have more money than the Temple? The money is controlled by the Temple."
Seeing someone bid, Yu Sheng said quickly: "Number 18, number 18 bids 2 trillion, anyone bid more? One, two, three! Deal. Bidder number 18 gets the Sword Flowing Cloud Shoes."
