The next day.

Almost every day, new treasures are sent to the auction house for auction, so an auction is held almost every day at the corresponding time, and the treasures brought back by the fleet from the sea or overseas are auctioned off.

The auctioneer in charge of each auction is the same person.

This person is the old man Cao Chuan and his entourage saw when they participated in the auction yesterday.

It's just that they made previous discoveries, so when Cao Chuan and his party saw the old man who was about to preside over the auction again today, their eyes were filled with a little killing intent when they looked at the high platform.

It's just that they are not in a hurry, but after camouflage, they sit in different directions, mingling in the crowd and waiting for the auction to begin.

However, Cao Chuan and his entourage did not encounter a single auction item and bid separately to delay time, but waited until the whole auction finally ushered in today's big shaft auction item, a treasure brought back from overseas by the fleet.

As the red cloth on the tray was lifted by the auctioneer, all the monks who participated in the auction immediately gasped and let out an exclamation of disbelief.

Looking up, you can see that what is placed on the tray is actually a pure gold sculpture carved with the dragon flying phoenix dance, and at the same time, between the dragon flying and the phoenix dance, there are also inlaid with various treasure beads and spiritual jades that are extremely rare on the market, as well as a mellow pill that is surrounded by the dragon flying phoenix dance and placed in it.

If it was just an ordinary pill, then the value of this sculpture would only be between tens of thousands of top-grade spirit stones, but when everyone could see clearly that there were sixteen faint cloud patterns circulating on that pill, then the value of this sculpture had risen rapidly in the eyes of many monks to the point that they could not afford it.

Because such a pill with eighteen cloud patterns has proven itself to be at least a four-grade elixir, its price on the market is already tens of millions of top-grade spirit stones, plus there are many rich and powerful guys near Donghai City, so the price of this sculpture will definitely rise very quickly.

It's definitely hard to get it sold in a place like an auction house.

Not to mention that under the shouts of the auctioneer, the starting price of this sculpture was determined at 30 million top-grade spirit stones, and each increase in the price could not be less than 5 million top-grade spirit stones.

Soon.

With a burst of bidding, the price of this auction item that was placed at the end of the auction has been raised to a full sixty million top-grade spirit stones.

Such a high price was enough to dissuade most of the monks, and even the rich and powerful people did not continue to ask for prices.

"It's now!"

Seeing that the price had risen to 6,000 top-grade spirit stones and no longer continued to rise, Cao Chuan, who looked around and found that everyone's faces showed a somewhat solemn expression, realized that the time was ripe.

So after glancing at Yu Qinglan, Wen Jinghao and Chu Ningxiang, who were scattered in the crowd, they immediately raised their cards and asked for the price.

"Sixty-five million top-grade spirit stones!"

Without waiting for the surrounding crowd to exclaim.

Yu Qinglan, Wen Jinghao, and Chu Ningxiang, who were scattered in the crowd, began to bid in turn according to the previous plan.

Because all four of them were disguised, and the four of them were originally outsiders, they never revealed their identities and plans even if they attracted everyone's attention.

And the price of the auction item has risen again and again.

So much so that it was already the time when the auctioneer should leave, Cao Chuan and his party continued to bid for the price, and directly raised the price to a full 100 million top-grade spirit stones.

But just when everyone was shocked by the ultra-high price of 100 million.

Standing on the high platform, it was obvious that the auctioneer, who had already wanted to leave the place, was very impatient to move around on it, as if there were some insects crawling on his body.

The auctioneer's strange behavior immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

When the gavel in the auctioneer's hand knocked down three times on the high platform, it was officially announced that the last auction item was won by Cao Chuan, who had bid 100 million top-grade spirit stones.

As Cao Chuan expected.

There was a large amount of dead qi in his body, and the auctioneer who needed to transfer it within the specified time had not yet had time to leave and went to the mysterious place before to transfer the dead qi, so he was directly devoured by the black qi that emerged from his body in front of everyone.

When the black gas dissipates, the existence of the auctioneer can still be seen on the high platform.

When he lifted the clothes that had fallen to the ground, he saw only a skeleton that had been eroded by black gas.

Such a scene caused chaos in the entire auction in an instant.

In the chaos, Cao Chuan naturally took advantage of the chaos on the scene to first pocket the auction item he deserved, and then with the help of Yu Qinglan, Wen Jinghao and Chu Ningxiang, he used his own divine soul power to contain the faint divine soul in the auctioneer's body in his own sea of consciousness.

After doing all this, Cao Chuan ran out of the auction house with the others.

After all, if something like this happens, it should be the turn of the people from the auction house to solve it, not to mention that Cao Chuan and his party have already got what they want.

So he immediately returned to his lodgings in Tokai Castle.

Wait until you get back to your accommodation.

The Flame Venerable then spoke: "I have already found out, this divine soul spirit indeed belongs to that old fellow, and it is indeed trapped in his own sea of consciousness by the death qi and unable to get out, and it is only today that he finally regained his freedom. ”

"It's just that because he has been imprisoned by Death Qi for too long, this guy's spirit is too weak now, and it is quite difficult to ask him a few questions."

"So I can only wait a few more days, and it's not too late to ask him what happened to this guy after his spirit has recovered a little."

"It's not a coincidence!"

After returning to his residence, he heard what the Flame Venerable said, Cao Chuan didn't feel pity, but directly took out the sculpture he had just photographed from the storage bag, and then smashed it and took out one of the elixirs that had reached the fourth grade.

"This four-grade elixir contains extremely strong divine soul power, as long as I can extract and refine its medicinal power, I can let the auctioneer's divine soul and spirit restore its original vitality with the help of the medicinal power of this four-grade elixir."

In this way, Cao Chuan began to use the Chaos Immortal Technique to absorb and refine all the medicinal power of the four-grade elixir in his hand, and then infused the divine soul power into the auctioneer's divine soul.

After being infused with the power of the divine soul, the auctioneer's divine soul spirit, which had really recovered a little bit of spirit, saw that he was in a strange place, and when he turned his head to see the divine soul of Cao Chuan standing beside him, the first thing he said was to wonder if he had arrived in the underworld.

Then he didn't even need Cao Chuan to ask, and he told all the experiences in his life.

After speaking.

did not give Cao Chuan a chance to continue asking, and immediately his soul flew away and he really died.

And Cao Chuan, who saw such a situation with his own eyes, felt a little strange.

Because it stands to reason that the auctioneer's soul spirit that has absorbed the medicinal power of the four-grade elixir should not suddenly burst open and die, and the auctioneer's spirit spirit has never sensed that there is other people's power at work in it.

In this way, it can be ruled out that someone is behind the ghost, and only the auctioneer who can be determined is that he wants to die.

And the reason why he did this, Cao Chuan couldn't figure it out.

Unable to figure it out, he had to focus on all the things that the auctioneer had just said before he died.

One of the things caught Cao Chuan's attention.

It has been ten years since Cao Chuan and his party came to Donghai City.

At that time, the auctioneer was not yet the auctioneer of the auction, but was responsible for checking whether the lot was qualified to be put on the table.

It was also at that time.

The auctioneer saw a treasure and loved it so much that he had a bad idea and smuggled it back home.

But it was after that.

Although the auctioneer became the auctioneer of the auction house of the four seas, his whereabouts and trajectory every day became the same as now, fixed and suspicious.

It's just that no one else has ever doubted the auctioneer, after all, the auctioneer is well-known in Donghai City and has always been applauded by people.

As the saying goes, if you don't hit a smiling person, everyone will only think that the auctioneer is old, and his body can't support his daily work, so he will go back to rest so early.

What's more, no one would have thought that there would be so much dead qi in the auctioneer's body, but he still retained the breath of life of the living.

The puppet of a living person is a kind of dead thing that is extremely easy to hide people's ears and eyes.

Confusing the real with the false is the greatest value of a puppet of a living person.

In this way, Cao Chuan, who recalled the auctioneer's experience, set his sights on the mysterious treasure that the auctioneer had smuggled back to his home.

He wondered what kind of treasure could turn a living person into a puppet.

Or rather, the treasure is actually a disguise.

The one who really turns the auctioneer into a living puppet is the mysterious man who manipulates the demons and puppets behind the scenes.
