Chapter 384: It's Done!

After the ceremony, it was time for the much-anticipated auction.

The auction was held in the large auction hall in Liuyunfang City, which was designed by Zhou Yang himself, and was shaped like a circular Colosseum building in his previous life, with an auction table in the center of the circle and a seat number marked outside the center of the circle.

There are more than 3,000 seats in the entire auction hall, which is enough to accommodate more than 3,000 people to participate in the bidding.

Because it was the first auction since the opening, the Zhou family did not charge an entrance fee for those who entered the auction hall, but they had requirements for cultivation, and only accepted the admission of monks who had cultivated above in the late stage of Qi cultivation.

At this time, because of the big auction, the Chihu Mountain Oasis gathered at least seven or eight thousand monks, and the Zhou family's more than 3,000 seats were distributed, and they were almost full.

Thinking about it, a monk who can cross the vast sea of sand and rush to the Chihu Mountain Oasis is impossible to do without cultivation unless someone carries it.

In this way, it is not surprising that out of seven or eight thousand people, there are two or three thousand late-stage Qi cultivation cultivators.

For the sake of the safety of the auction site, and in order to show his attention, Zhou Yang personally rode the Gripon Beast, which had been promoted to a fourth-order demon beast, and landed on the auction table, and the auctioneer was a relative of the Zhou family named Xie Lingying in the Zhou Family's Foreign Affairs Hall.

This relative of the Zhou family, named Xie Lingying, was born with a flower and moon appearance, an excellent face, and a very crisp and pleasant voice, the fly in the ointment is that the spiritual root has low qualifications, but it is a low-grade spiritual root, and so far there is only a fifth-level cultivation of Qi training.

After Zhou Yang saw this woman at the preaching ceremony and listened to her questioning voice, he had a very good impression, so he specially named her as an auctioneer afterwards to learn auction skills.

And Xie Lingying has also made sufficient preparations for today's auction, and has recited the information of all today's auction items countless times in advance.

When the auction began, her yellow warbler-like voice was easy to attract attention.

Of course, what attracts more attention is the auction items.

From the very beginning of the second-order magic weapons, spirit runes, pills, formations and other things, to the later third-order treasures, each of them is a fine product selected by the Zhou family, and none of the defective products exist.

These rare boutiques, it is usually difficult to take out a few pieces a year and sell them in the store, and they are all placed in the family treasury for the clansmen to exchange for their own use.

At this time, take out these fine treasures, and you are not afraid that no one will bid to buy them.

And as the treasures were bought at a shouting price, the atmosphere of the auction became more enthusiastic.

After the third-order elixir, magic weapons, and spirit runes appeared, those foundation-building monks who had originally watched the play also joined the auction.

The resources of the Boundless Sand Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm are poor, and third-order spiritual objects are rare to see, let alone finished third-order treasures.

However, there are also many foundation building monks who have been maintaining an indifferent posture like water, quietly watching all this, and the goal of these people is very clear, that is, the Zhuji Dan in the news released by the Zhou family.

"The following auction is one of the three treasures of the finale of this auction, Tsukidan!"

"This auction has prepared two Tsukidan as auction items, and now the first Tsukidan is being auctioned, with a starting price of 20,000 spirit stones, and each increase shall not be less than 1,000 spirit stones!"

Rumble!

As the crisp and melodious voice of auctioneer Xie Lingying sounded, the atmosphere in the auction hall suddenly exploded.

I don't know how long it has been since there has been such a blatant auction of Zhuji Dan in the Boundless Sand Sea Cultivation Immortal Realm, in the past, Huangshamen dominated the Boundless Sand Sea Cultivation Immortal Realm, monopolizing more than eighty percent of the output of Zhuji Dan.

The only chance for others to get Tsukidan is to exchange treasures that far exceed the value of Tsukidan.

And for people like the ancestors of the Chen family who can refine the Zhuji Dan, most of the Zhuji Dan they refine is digested within some families, and it will not be spread easily.

Now the Zhou family is openly taking out the Zhuji Dan for auction, which is actually a provocation to the hegemony of Huangshamen.

Many people secretly looked at Zhang Yunpeng, the head of the Huangshamen who was sitting in the front row, but Zhang Yunpeng had been meditating with his eyes closed in the presence of the old god since the auction began, and no one had seen his eyebrows move a little.

In the eyes of those people, this attitude made them quite disappointed and surprised.

And as one quote after another sounded, they didn't have time to pay attention to these anymore.

Because of the publicity in advance, the two Tsukidans at this auction were sold at a real "sky-high price".

The first Tsukidan was bought by a cultivator family for 52,000 lower grade spirit stones, but the second Tsukidan was bought by a Tsukuji Scattered Cultivator for 55,000 lower grade spirit stones.

A foundation building cultivator was able to take out fifty-five thousand spirit stones at one time, which even Zhou Yang was taken aback.

He glanced at the man, this person's cultivation of the seventh layer of foundation building was indeed a rare master among the scattered cultivators.

However, if he was able to take out 55,000 spirit stones, this person would either spend the spirit stones he had accumulated all his life here, or he would have robbed a certain immortal cultivator family of his savings for a hundred years, or he would simply be the leader of a certain group of sand bandits.

Of course, these are just Zhou Yang's guesses, and he will not investigate and arrest this person because of this speculation.

As far as he was concerned, even if this person was really a murderous sand bandit, as long as he didn't commit murder on the Chihu Mountain Oasis and wasn't caught, he wouldn't take someone for it.

And this person also seemed to know that his behavior of auctioning Tsukidan was too high-profile, and after handing over the spirit stone on the spot, he actually left the auction hall directly.

Because it is impossible to achieve a separate compartment for everyone like the Xianyang City Auction, the Zhou family's means to protect the safety of bidders at the auction is to control the venue.

During the duration of the auction, no one except the monks who received the auction was allowed to leave the auction hall or be summoned to the outside world.

This approach certainly can't protect the bidders in all aspects like the Xianyang City Auction, but at least it gives the bidders a chance to escape.

Like the one who left after photographing Tsukidan, as long as he left the Chihu Mountain Oasis in time and entered the vast sea of sand, it would be difficult to find his exact whereabouts unless someone left a tracking method on him in advance.

The auction continues.

In addition to Zhuji Dan, the other two finale items prepared by the Zhou family at this auction were a "Purple Cloud Pill" that helped open up the Purple Mansion and a fourth-order middle-grade magic weapon.

Not to mention the fourth-order middle-grade magic weapon, this item was specially prepared for Chen Ping'an and Nie Qiufeng, two Purple Mansion Stage monks, and was finally pocketed by Nie Qiufeng with 110,000 lower grade spirit stones.

The "Purple Cloud Pill" was an unexpected joy, no one thought in advance that there would be such a treasure that would help open up the Purple Mansion at the auction, so that some Huangshamen monks who were watching the excitement couldn't help but join the bidding.

In the end, the transaction price of this "Purple Cloud Pill" surpassed that fourth-order mid-grade magic weapon, reaching a high price of 125,000 lower-grade spirit stones.

There is no way, there are too few treasures in the Boundless Sand Sea Cultivation Immortal Realm that can help break through the Purple Mansion, and alchemists who can refine this third-order high-grade spirit pill are also rare.

So here, it is common for the price of such treasures to increase several times.

Of course, this is also limited to the treasure of "Purple Cloud Pill", if it is replaced with a treasure of the level of "Purple Heart Chalcedony", under the double, except for the Zhou family, the Chen family, the Nie family, the three purple mansion families and the Huangsha Gate, the Zhuji family will not be able to afford so many spirit stones even if they smash the pot and sell iron.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the Zhou family had a "Purple Cloud Fruit" vine, and the vine had harvested more than a dozen spirit fruits last time, Zhou Yang would not have been so arrogant as to take out a "Purple Cloud Pill" to come out for the finale.

And this unexpected surprise did have the effect he wanted, making the reputation of the auction resound throughout the entire Boundless Sand Sea Cultivation Immortal Realm because of this thing.

"Thank you for coming to participate in this big auction, every 30 years in the future, our Zhou family will hold a big auction on a fixed basis, I assure you in the name of the Zhou family, every big auction, at least one Tsukidan will be guaranteed as a fixed finale to bid, welcome all Taoist friends to come to Liuyun Auction again after 30 years!"

When the last auction item was sold, Zhou Yang, who had not made a sound, finally stood up from the back of the Gripen, glanced at all the remaining monks in the auction hall, and loudly announced the news of the end of the auction.

And the assurance that came out of his mouth also surprised all the monks in the room.

A major auction is held every 30 years, and at least one Tsukidan is guaranteed to be the finale at each time.

If the Zhou family can really do this, then the big auction held by the Zhou family this time is really a must!

To be honest, although the news of the Zhou family's big auction was released several years in advance, because there was no precedent for the auction of Zhukidan before, many people thought that this was just the Zhou family's attraction to participate in the auction.

These people saw the two Tsukidans slipping away from their eyes today, and their bowels were undoubtedly blue with regret.

And now, Zhou Yang's words gave them hope.

They still have a chance!

Thirty years from now, when the next big auction takes place, they will come back when they are well prepared, and they will not be just spectators, as they are today.

"Elder Qi Yu, the income of this big auction has been counted, this big auction, we have auctioned a total of one hundred and fifty-six treasures, and the total income is 575,600 lower grade spirit stones!"

"If you count the spirit stones earned by the shops in Shangfang City during this time, plus the [poll tax] and other incomes collected, the total income of our Zhou family from holding a big auction this time is about 650,000 spirit stones!"

On Chihu Mountain, when the big auction ended and the monks of all parties began to disperse, Zhou Yang also received a report on the income of the Zhou family's financial elder Zhou Guangyun and the monks of Caitang working overtime.

When he heard the earnings figure, a happy smile finally appeared on his face.

This is the first time he has smiled since his father Zhou Xuanhao passed away.

"Very good, with this spirit stone, the new home plan can be officially implemented!"

He muttered to himself with a smile on his face, and his eyes showed excitement that he hadn't seen in a long time.
