Chapter 103: Looking for Death
"Elder Lin, let's go in. β
The two entered the auction house one after another.
Ling Xiao took a few steps into the Tianxing Auction House, first through a spacious and luxurious passage, and then into a funnel-shaped hall.
The whole hall is very large, at least enough to seat thousands of people, and in the center of the hall is a quaint platform about a hundred feet long, but no one has gone up for the time being.
Outside the platform, separated by a distance of more than ten zhang, there are seats for the guests, which extend in the form of a staircase, like an inverted funnel, enclosing the platform in the middle.
On the second floor of the hall, there are still many separate private rooms, but with Ling Xiao's identity, he can't enter it for the time being, because only the powerhouses of the Burning Star Realm can appear there.
"Just find a seat and sit down first. β
Ling Xiao swept his gaze and came to a seat in the middle of the southeast side of the platform.
After half an hour, guests walked in from the outside one after another, and in the end, the entire hall was almost full, and there were many people in the private rooms on the second floor.
"The masters of the Burning Star Realm don't know how many people have come. β
Ling Xiao looked up at the private room on the second floor, but he didn't release his divine thoughts, because the masters of the Burning Star Realm had a keen perception, and if they found someone spying on him, he was afraid that it would be a big trouble.
Yichen seized this time and asked, "Ling boy, why did you refuse the invitation of the Seven Princes and come alone?"
"Although I don't know what Jiuyao Guotu is, I am willing to help myself, but I don't want to owe too much, otherwise it will affect Dao Xin in the future. β
A moment later, an old man with white hair walked up from the back stage, who was the auctioneer of the auction.
"First of all, on behalf of the Star Auction House, I would like to thank you for coming, if you have any treasures that need to be entrusted to this auction house for consignment, then the Star Auction House is definitely happy to do so. Of course, if it's just an ordinary treasure, it's best not to take it out, our Tianxing Auction House has always only auctioned fine products, I believe everyone knows this. β
After a pause, the old man coughed lightly and said loudly: "Don't talk nonsense, this auction has officially begun, first of all, it is the first auction item, please take a look." β
With a wave of his hand, the old man walked up from the back of the platform with a beautiful maid dragging a wooden plate with a simple sheepskin on it.
"The first auction item, an unknown sheepskin, is made of eternal grade, and it is said that this sheepskin contains an immortal and earth-shattering secret, which was obtained from an ancient tomb in the Demon Battleground, and passed to our auction house after a long time. β
"Unknown sheepskin, the starting price is not less than 500,000 Juxing Dan, and the price increase shall not be less than 10,000 each time, and the auction begins!"
The old man's voice fell, and many monks below showed contemplative eyes and did not make a move.
Unknown sheepskin, who knows what is recorded in it, but if you know the secret, then it will not be sold, it is said to be revealed from the demon battlefield, everyone scoffs, this is just a gimmick of the auction house, if it is true, it will definitely not come to a small country like Jiuyao Kingdom, but this ancient level sheepskin is actually used as a carrier of the recorded text, it can be seen that the content of this sheepskin is extremely extraordinary, and the origin is by no means simple.
The first auction item fell into a short period of calm, which made the old man sweat coldly, and if the first auction item could not be sold, it would be a bit embarrassing if the auction was lost.
But after a brief silence
"Ling boy, take a picture, maybe I can understand this parchment scroll. β
Yichen stared at the parchment scroll in the distance with bright eyes, felt something, and spoke.
"Good. β
Hearing Yichen's words, Ling Xiao nodded and agreed.
Time passed minute by minute, but no one bought it, and the old man sighed slightly, I'm afraid it's going to be a failure.
Suddenly, an old voice rang out in the auction house.
"I'll give out 510,000 Gathering Star Pills!"
When everyone heard this, they all looked over in horror, and used more than 500,000 yuan to buy a parchment scroll of unknown origin, is it more money?
However, when they saw Ling Xiao's appearance, everyone was shocked, and he was still too young.
"Damn, that kid's skin is whiter than a woman's, it's *****"
"I thought it was an old man who bought it? Maybe I could know something, and I bought it, but it turned out to be such a young man, I'm afraid that he is a stunned young man, and he takes the family's money and does not pay for it. β
"Yes, but it would be nice if I were him!"
For a while, when I saw Ling Xiao's appearance, no one was bidding, but they all showed the expression of a fool.
"Okay! 510,000 for the first time, is there a higher bid?"
The auctioneer breathed a sigh of relief and stood on the stage, looking around, but no one bid again.
"Five hundred and ten thousand for the second time, five hundred and fifty thousand for the third time, okay, deal! Congratulations to this friend. β
Next, a second auction takes place.
Above the attic on the second floor, a young figure looked at Ling Xiao below with deep meaning, and there was a great power of the Burning Star Realm standing beside him, and a smile rose from the corner of his mouth: "Uncle Zhong, remember him, after you go out, grab him and ask him if he knows the content of this." If you know, spare him a life, and if you don't know, you will be unlucky for him!"
"Yes, young master!"
Uncle Zhong nodded slightly, remembering Ling Xiao's appearance. I plan to do it after the auction is over.
"Damn, no one is allowed to be strong with Lao Tzu in this secret book, 580,000, I want it!"
Someone sneered: "You want to buy 80,000 low-grade spirit stones, don't be too naΓ―ve, this big floating slaughter palm is definitely a medium-grade existence in the ground-level low-level martial arts, I will give eighty-five thousand!"
The person who had bid earlier suddenly sank his face and looked at the person behind him viciously.
The person who bid at the back smiled coldly and was not afraid, but at this moment, someone else began to bid.
In the subsequent auction, Ling Xiao didn't pay much attention, and only made occasional moves, but he didn't auction it off. Because he has already noticed that many people secretly put his appearance in their hearts, ready to do it after the auction is over, if it weren't for the appearance after the disguise now, Ling Xiao would not dare to come to such an auction, there is only one very simple reason, strength!
In the later stage of the auction, the grade is getting higher and higher, and there are many middle-class mortal weapons, low-level cheats, as well as some elixirs, spirit fruits and other items, all of which have been auctioned at extremely high prices.
And the last few star weapons that appeared were very rare low-grade star weapons, each of which was sold at a price of more than 10 million Star Gathering Pills, pushing the entire auction to a **.
However, Ling Xiao didn't make any moves for the time being, because the things he needed hadn't appeared yet, and among the few top-notch spirit rank star weapons, there were no star weapons such as swords, which made him a little disappointed.
"The next auction item is also the penultimate auction item of this auction, although it is not the finale of this auction, but is it worth, hehe, everyone will know by seeing. β
Behind the old man, a cabinet covered with a black scarf suddenly appeared, and then the old man stretched out his hand and pulled, and the black scarf was torn off, revealing the crystal long cabinet inside, and in the cabinet, there was a pair of electric flashing battle armor, depicting ancient star patterns, giving people a sense of heaviness, thunder three thousand, tearing the sky, domineering and unparalleled.
"Shhh
At this moment, without the introduction of the auctioneer, everyone gasped, you must know that below the Burning Star Realm, the monks are unable to use supernatural powers, they can only use star skills, but as long as you have a spirit level lower level defensive star weapon, then the use of divine power is no longer the exclusive privilege of the master of the Burning Star Realm, and in many secret realms and ruins, life preservation and fighting with people are all big killing weapons, which are more powerful than the spirit level medium star weapons.
"It's finally out!"
On the two seats on the west side, Situ Tangfeng and Elder Lin's eyes suddenly lit up, and their eyes burned at the pair of Thunder Battle Armor on the platform.
"This pair of Thunder Battle Armor must be mine, and it must be mine!"
Situ Tangfeng even breathed heavily, once he obtained this spirit rank inferior defensive star weapon, then his ranking on the Xiao Jiuyao list would definitely advance many places, and if he could have extremely strong defense and supernatural powers, many secret realms would not be too difficult for him to break through.
At the same moment, Ling Xiao's heart also moved, staring at the Thunder Battle Armor on the platform.
"A top-notch spirit rank inferior defensive star weapon. β
Ling Xiao stared at the Thunder Battle Armor on the platform below, and his thoughts raced.
"This treasure is not the last one in this auction, then there is only one last auction item left in this auction, and the last auction treasure, ten ** is a medium-grade star weapon, with my current wealth, it is impossible to win it, and only the masters of the Burning Star Realm are qualified to bid. β
"Then I can fight for this Thunder Battle Armor. β
If there is this Thunder Battle Armor, then his physical body and defense will definitely reach an unbelievable level, at least in the Gathering Star Realm, there is no need to taboo anyone anymore, even if the extreme powerhouse of the Gathering Star Realm is estimated to be stronger than his defense, then the supernatural power can compete with the strong man of the Burning Star Realm, although it is not long, but it is also terrifying, I just don't know what the supernatural power is.
Moreover, star weapons such as swords can be obtained in many secret realms, and they are not as rare as defensive star skills engraved with divine powers.
At this moment, the old man on the auction table smiled slightly and introduced: "This Thunder Battle Armor is the top item in the lower star weapons of the spirit level, and it was obtained by a master of the Burning Star Realm from a secret realm, but for the powerhouses of the Burning Star Realm, the supernatural power is nothing, so we will be entrusted to auction it." β
"As for the role of the Thunder Battle Armor, I don't need to say much here, just letting the Gathering Star Monk have the invincible defensive ability of the same level is enough to explain its value, and the divine power in it needs to be compatible with oneself to comprehend, but we don't know about it, but the weakest divine power is enough to kill the Condensate Realm monk, what if it is the top divine power?"
"Okay, let's start the auction now, the top defensive star weapon "Thunder" of the spirit level, the starting price is 18 million Gathering Star Pills, and each increase in price must not be less than 50,000 Gathering Star Pills, the auction begins!"
Rumble!
The old man's voice fell, and the entire auction hall immediately boiled.
In the field, who can not know the value of the defensive star weapon, in the past, even if it is an ordinary mortal-level high-grade defensive star weapon, it can be auctioned for a sky-high price, and today's defensive star weapon "Thunder" has reached the spirit level, and it is also the top product in the spirit level of the lower star weapon, with supernatural powers, the value is self-evident, absolutely more than the average spirit level medium top star weapon.
"Eighteen million five hundred and fifty thousand!"
"Eighteen million eight hundred and fifty thousand!"
"Nineteen million two million!"
"Nineteen million two hundred and fifty thousand!"
"Nineteen million three hundred and fifty thousand!"
In just the blink of an eye, the price of "Thunder" has been called to more than 19.3 million, and the atmosphere is far more enthusiastic than any previous treasure.
"Tang Feng, it's almost time to make a move. β
On a seat in the west, the gray-robed Elder Lin suddenly said to Situ Tangfeng: "The value of this "Thunder" is amazing, I am afraid that the competition will not be small later, you must be mentally prepared." β
Situ Tangfeng nodded and sneered: "Don't worry, as long as the powerhouses of the Burning Star Realm don't participate in the competition, I'm afraid no one can beat me." β
This time he came out of the sect, he brought a total of 23 million Star Gathering Pills, if it was a general type of spirit rank inferior top star weapon, it would definitely be no problem, and this spirit level inferior defensive star weapon "Thunder", 23 million Star Gathering Pill should not be too much of a problem, and there is not an inner gate elder of the Thousand Machines Sect next to him, if you can't borrow a little more from him when the time comes.
"Nineteen and a half million!"
As soon as Situ Tangfeng opened his mouth, he directly added 150,000 Gathering Star Pills, and for a while, the monks in the auction hall were stunned for a moment.
"It turned out to be Situ Tangfeng, the core second disciple of the Thousand Machines Sect, this kid is really rich, and the price has increased to 19.5 million Juxing Pill. β
"Yes, compared to these disciples of the Great Sect, we, the older generation of Gathering Star Realm cultivators, actually seem a little poor, which is really depressing. β
At this moment, Ling Xiao finally moved, only to see him smile faintly and raise his hand.
"Nineteen million five hundred and fifty thousand. β
This defensive star weapon, he has already given birth to the mind of ambition, after all, if he has this star weapon in hand, his combat power will definitely increase a lot, even if he encounters the power of the Burning Star Realm, he is sure to save his life.
Moreover, his current wealth is 10 million in the Gathering Star Pill alone, plus some spirit grasses, spirit fruits, and a few low-level star skill cheats, then calculated to be at least more than 20 million Gathering Star Pills.
"The Eight Desolation Battle Fist and the Eight Desolation Exercises are unique to me, and they must not be taken out for auction, but Fengyunbu is an ancient exercise, and I have already memorized the exercises above, so it doesn't matter if I take them out and sell them, at least they can be exchanged for four or five million. β
"Nineteen million five hundred and fifty thousand, damn, who the hell is this kid, he is so rich. β
"I don't know, it looks like a face, it should be a genius disciple of a major sect. β
Two people in a row are bidding for more than 19.3 million Gathering Star Pills, and they are still young Gathering Star Realm monks, which suddenly surprised many masters, you must know that ordinary Open Heaven Cultivators generally have a net worth of three or four million Gathering Star Pills, but these two young people are more than 10 million, more than 10 million yuan, how can they not be shocked.
"Nineteen million six hundred and fifty thousand!"
At this moment, someone asked for another price, it was a peak monk of the late stage of condensate wearing a black cloak, located in the backmost part of the southeast, making it difficult to see the face.
"Tsk, this peak monk in the late stage of condensation can't see his face clearly at all, it seems that he is a hidden master again, otherwise it would be impossible to be so rich. β
"Yes, I see that many masters came to the auction this time because of this defensive star weapon, and they didn't see them shoot a few of the top star weapons of the spirit rank before, but at this time, they couldn't sit still one by one. β
"Nineteen,700,000!"
At this time, Situ Tang Feng of the Dragon Elephant Sect suddenly glanced coldly at Ling Xiao and the cloak monk, and bid again.
"Dare to grab things from me Situ Tangfeng, and when you get out of the Star Auction House, the master will definitely make you look good!"
"Nineteen million eight thousand!"
Ling Xiao smiled slightly, and added 100,000 Star Gathering Pills again.
Situ Tangfeng's face suddenly became gloomy, and he said coldly: "Nineteen million and nine hundred thousand!"
"Twenty million and five thousand!"
"Twenty million and ten thousand!"
ββ
"Twenty million and fifty thousand!"
ββ
"Twenty million and one hundred thousand!"
"Twenty million and one hundred thousand!"
Situ Tangfeng's face was gloomy like water, and he suddenly stood up from his seat, stared at Ling Xiao and said coldly: "Boy, you obviously want to get along with me, right?"
Every time this kid increases the price, he presses him by 5,000 to 10,000, which is definitely not much, and it is definitely not a lot, it is like he is playing tricks on him.
"Why, am I not bidding normally?"
Ling Xiao smiled faintly and glanced at Situ Tangfeng.
"Boy, you have a kind of, dare to play with me Situ Tangfeng like this, be careful that I play with you to death!"
Situ Tang's eyes were cold, and he had already recorded Ling Xiao's face in his heart.
Many of the monks present couldn't help but raise their eyebrows at this time and began to discuss.
"Situ Tangfeng's foundation is not very clean, in the past, some people competed with him for the treasures of the auction house, although they were successfully auctioned in the end, but then they disappeared, most of which were good things done by Situ Tangfeng. β
"I've heard a lot of this kind of thing, but Situ Tang has a hard back, the Thousand Machines Sect is the top sect of the Jiuyao Kingdom, and there is a shadow of the Inner Domain behind him, and his strength is strong, if there is no conclusive evidence, no one can do anything about him. β
"That bidding kid probably doesn't know Situ Tangfeng's personality yet, don't end up buying treasures with a life, but not using them, it's a tragedy. β
Listening to everyone's whispered discussions, Ling Xiao suddenly smiled coldly, if anyone wants to use their brains from him, they must be ready to die.
"Two million and five hundred thousand!"
At this moment, the cloak monk who had bid earlier increased the price again, and directly called for 20 million and 500,000.
"Look for death!"
