Chen Feng observed and found that there was a difference between the Red Maple Island and the Southern Tang Secret Realm. There are many sects in the secret realm of the Southern Tang Dynasty, although they also have a lot of dependence on each other, but the most important thing is the development within the sect, and they don't care very much about strengthening their strength through vertical and horizontal cooperation. Hongfeng Island is different, whether it is an ordinary gate, an upper eight gate, or a sect, they all emphasize ganging up to seek external interests.

If this auction had been held in Nantang, it would have already begun. But on Red Maple Island, it was deliberately delayed, leaving time for everyone to greet politely. Naturally, the positions of these sects are also relatively high, which is just convenient for the people behind to pay attention to them.

When the representatives of the four sects of Red Maple Island were present, they also left enough opportunities for communication, and the auction finally began.

To the surprise of everyone in the venue, the auction was actually opened by an elder of the Fire Pupil Sect.

Previously, it was rumored that the Fire Pupil Sect suddenly announced in a high-profile manner that it would join the exploration of the Secret Mansion Ruins, which made the interest groups that had originally reached an agreement somewhat repulsive. Who would have thought that the Fire Pupil Sect would even include the Fire Sect and other sects that had reached any deals, in short, this elder of the Northern Han Dynasty stood in front of the stage in a dignified manner.

Xiang Yan's uncle is named Ding Wen, and he was a great Confucian before he became a secret. After becoming a secret master by chance, his cultivation improved by leaps and bounds, and he became a secret sect in more than ten years.

One of the characteristics of Ding Wen is that he is well-read and knowledgeable, and he is very fond of studying some allusions to the secret world. Most of the esoteric masters, although they are coarse in writing, are concerned with how to cultivate. Even if there are those who study arrays, refine medicines, and refine weapons, they are often concentrated in a certain field. However, this Ding Wen is an exception, he knows almost all the secrets of the secret world, and he doesn't know a little bit about it, but he can often touch the bypass. He was very famous in the Northern Han Dynasty, and wrote many books about the development and inheritance of the secret world, and anecdotes, even the children of the Northern Han Dynasty royal family liked to read his books. Therefore, Ding Wen was very famous in the Northern Han Dynasty, and his status in the Fire Pupil Sect was also very high, second only to Xiang Yan's father Xiang Chengzhi.

Ding Wen presided over the auction, and the opening was naturally polite. However, he didn't ramble for a long time like an ordinary reader, and after a few kind words, he began to introduce today's auction. "There are a few differences between this auction and the previous auctions," he said. First, the entire auction was not presided over by the old man alone, but we selected a number of elderly secret masters who refined refining tools, refining medicines, and arranging arrays, and they presided over individual auctions one by one. Naturally, what we are looking for is not as simple as changing someone, but for the most proficient secret master to introduce some relevant insights to you at the auction. The old man has always believed that it is not possible for the secret to bury his head in cultivation, and he must look up at the sky, the people, and the hearts of the people. The second difference is that in addition to the auction of traditional treasures, secret weapons, secret arts, secret talismans, secret medicines and materials, we have also carefully prepared some special auction items, many of which were specially shipped from the Northern Han Dynasty and the Southern Tang Dynasty, and I believe that everyone will be satisfied at that time. The third difference is that thanks to the four sects of Red Maple Island, Lin Mo, Blood, Seven Stars, and Lihuo, they have worked together to create a huge secret array. Everyone sat in their respective areas, and the number plates they took could be connected to the secret array. Your bids at auction can be written directly on the number plate, and you don't need to read them out loud as you used to. Finally, there is a new innovation in the auction format. These forms, when a certain time comes, will naturally be revealed for everyone. After the auction, everyone also relied on the number plate to receive items and pay for secret stones. However, the old man kindly reminded that the secrets present were all characters with heads and faces from Hongfeng Island, Misty Sea, or the Southern Tang Dynasty and Northern Han Dynasty, so don't bid blindly at the auction. When the time comes, you won't be able to take out the secret stone, but you will be punished. As the saying goes, 'those who are loyal in their words will be respectful in their deeds', and I encourage you to do so. ”

The first item at the auction piqued everyone's interest.

The lot is a bell, covered with a thick layer of green rust, which looks extremely quaint. However, the bell is missing a corner, and the quaint becomes dilapidated. The bell was so large that it took four people to carry it to the stand. In the process of carrying it up, the following secret began to whisper:

"Why is the first lot so big?"

"It's not important, it's broken. ”

"It doesn't look like a secret weapon, it's not a secret treasure. What can this thing do?"

"I don't know, let's listen to what Elder Ding has to say. ”

Ding Wen is the host of the first auction item. He also felt the surprise of the secret person below, and said with a smile: "I don't hide it from you, even if it is me, I am very surprised when I see this bell for the first time. If it's a secret weapon, it's too big, if it's a secret treasure, it can't be changed in size, and if it's a material, it's rusted. I really didn't see anything unusual about the bell except that it was a little older, until the auctioneer told me where it came from. ”

Ding Wen paused for a moment and said, "Everyone knows that the secret realm a hundred years ago was more prosperous than it is now, and the lowest secret venerable appeared frequently. Unlike now, as soon as a few of our secret sects appeared, they basically represented the highest combat power. In the past, we secret sects probably didn't even have the qualifications to stand here and speak. ”

After making everyone laugh, Ding Wen continued: "Speaking of secret venerables, the most familiar to everyone on Red Maple Island are the Jade Secret Venerable, the Wind Thunder Secret Venerable, the Qiongxiao Secret Venerable, the Blood Demon Secret Venerable, and so on. Every appearance of the Secret Venerable has a legendary story. Just like their titles, they all represent different meanings, and they also record the legends of the secret world. The era of Qiongxiao Secret Venerable and Blood Demon Secret Venerable was a little farer, but it had a far-reaching impact on Red Maple Island. The Lin Mo Sect and the Blood Demon Sect, which were founded by their disciples, are still the two pillars of Red Maple Island. As for the Jasper Secret Venerable and the Wind Thunder Secret Venerable, they are closer now. Just three days ago, a spirit rhino phoenix hairpin left by the Jasper Secret Venerable in Yingcui Building was auctioned for a sky-high price of 2,800 high-grade secret stones. ”

Ding Wen said this, and many of the secret people below, especially those who were not too old, listened to it with relish. Only then did everyone know that the inheritance of Lin Mo Sect and Blood Demon Sect actually came from the Secret Venerable. As for the matter of Yingcui Building, it has already spread all over Qingliu City, and there are all kinds of rumors about Chen Feng's identity. At today's auction, Xianfeng also carefully searched for Azhu's figure, but unfortunately did not find it.

Ding Wen continued: "The bell we are going to auction today is related to the Wind and Thunder Secret Venerable!"

Ding Wen's emphasis on this sentence immediately made many absent-minded people prick up their ears. There is no mortal thing that can have a relationship with the secret deity!
