As the two chatted idly, more and more cultivators arrived at the auction venue as ti passed.
No one knew exactly how much ti had passed when an old man slowly walked onto the stage in the hall.
He cleared his throat and then said loudly, "Thank you all for coming. I am Cheng Liang, the Great Elder of Linghong Sacred Land. Most of the Daoist fellows here are old acquaintances, so I won’t introduce myself further."
"Today’s auction will be presided over by myself. Regarding the rules of our Linghong Auction House, I believe everyone is already familiar with them, so I won’t elaborate."
"Now, let’s begin the auction directly."
As soon as he finished speaking, an item was quickly brought up and displayed on the auction stage for all to see.
"A Harmonization Realm expert..."
In private room number three, Mo Wangchen couldn’t help but squint, sensing that this Great Elder Cheng Liang of Linghong Sacred Land had reached at least the Unity Realm Stage in cultivation.
Thinking carefully, it’s not surprising at all.
After all, being the Great Elder of Linghong Sacred Land, how could he lack Unity Realm Stage cultivation?
"Ladies and gentlen, the first item to be auctioned today is a piece of Outer Heaven Strange Stone."
"This stone is as hard as Divine Iron, with a dark golden hue, an extrely rare strength, making it the best material for crafting Divine Weapons. The starting price is one million spirit stones, with each increase not less than one hundred thousand. Now, please start bidding."
As Cheng Liang’s voice fell, a clamor broke out among the crowd, as many began to discuss.
Soon, soone in the hall below couldn’t hold back and made a bid, "My Cangyan Sect happens to lack a Supre Weapon. I bid one million spirit stones for this stone. I hope all Daoist fellows will give so face and not contend for it."
"A re one million spirit stones and you want to take away this Outer Heaven Strange Stone? Your Cangyan Sect is truly calculative. I bid one million two hundred thousand!"
"I bid one million five hundred thousand!"
"Two million!"
"..."
As the crowd continued to compete, in just a mont, the price of this strange stone soared to three million spirit stones.
This price deterred many, exceeding their limits of affordability.
But there were still many people in competition.
After another mont, the price directly reached five million.
By now, the number of people still bidding had dwindled significantly, leaving just three or four contenders.
"I bid five million five hundred thousand. If there’s any Daoist fellow who can offer a higher price, then I will back off." The elder from Cangyan Sect spoke through gritted teeth.
Five million five hundred thousand was clearly his limit. If soone else offered a higher bid, despite his reluctance, there would be nothing he could do.
"This strange stone is unimpressive, indicating it likely contains many impurities. Its value is no more than four million. Your willingness to bid five million five hundred thousand shows a great need for this stone. However, I’m also slightly interested in it and willing to offer six million."
At this mont, the crowd fell silent in the hall, and a faint voice echoed from a private room on the second floor.
"Six million..."
This price startled the attendees.
More importantly, the bidder was soone from a second-floor private room.
Those seated on the second floor typically had significant backgrounds, far beyond what those in the hall could compare in terms of strength or financial capability.
"Isn’t that person an Elder of the Jiang Family from Ancient Martial Arts? Truly wealthy."
Many eyes turned to see the elderly figure seated in room seven on the second floor, with soone recognizing him imdiately.
"Daoist fellow from the Jiang Family bids six million spirit stones. Is there a higher bid?"
Cheng Liang cleared his throat and continued, "Six million once..."
"Six million twice..."
"Six million, sold!"
"Boom!"
With a final strike of the gavel, the strange stone was ultimately auctioned off to the Jiang Family for six million.
"These people are truly wealthy, bidding six million spirit stones for a stone filled with impurities." Mo Wangchen couldn’t help but mutter softly in private room number three.
When he first ca to the Heavenly Domain, although his Master gifted him a substantial amount of spirit stones, it was only around twenty to thirty million. It wasn’t a small amount, but definitely not much.
"Given your current reputation, if you agreed to join any Sacred Land, they’d offer you not just six million but even sixty million." Ruan Xinyu chuckled.
She wasn’t exaggerating, but stating a fact.
A genius who had comprehended the Heavenly Emperor Secret Technique and defeated Song Hao of the Reverse Life Realm’s ninth level with only a fifth-level cultivation in the sa realm.
Such a young prodigy attracted nurous factions eager to recruit him.
Compared to that, what’s a re sixty million spirit stones?
"Am I really worth that much?" Mo Wangchen quipped.
"Has anything caught your eye, Young Master? Feel free to bid when the ti cos. Xuanling Sacred Land is willing to cover the cost for you," Ruan Xinyu offered. Like most factions, Xuanling Sacred Land also aid to ally with Mo Wangchen.
Even if he chose not to join Xuanling Sacred Land, maintaining a positive relationship with him would undoubtedly benefit them.
"I just ca to see the commotion; there’s nothing specific I want. But since you’ve offered, if sothing does catch my eye later, I won’t hold back." Mo Wangchen replied.
The auction soon resud.
After the Outer Heaven Strange Stone, several other items were successively brought out.
Fierce competition ensued, with prices exceeding five million, and two items even reached eight million.
Mo Wangchen found it sowhat dull since none of the items piqued his interest.
"Next, we will auction a lost Ancient Pill Recipe!"
Cheng Liang continued, "This pill is called the Reverse Life Pill, which, as the na suggests, can help Reverse Life Realm cultivators increase their breakthrough success rate by at least twenty to at most fifty percent!"
"Reverse Life Pill?"
"At least twenty to fifty percent chance..."
As he finished, the room buzzed with excitent.
Countless discussions erupted, eyes glimring with anticipation.
In the Vast Heavenly Domain, countless Reverse Life Realm experts strive for breakthroughs daily.
However, those who succeed in breaking through are few, with less than ten successful out of every hundred attempts!
So spend centuries trapped at one level, attempting multiple breakthroughs without success.
Now, if a miraculous pill like the Reverse Life Pill truly erges, it would be a boon for them!
