It had to be said that the Mitel Auction House's publicity was truly powerful. Merely one day after Mo Yu handed the weapons over to the auction house, nearly every force, large or small, in Wu Tan City had learned of the news. In an instant, everyone's blood began to boil with excitement.
Unlike the Profound Tier High-Grade cultivation method auctioned at the previous auction, that sky-high-priced item could only be purchased by a handful of major forces. The weaker forces could do nothing but sigh in envy.
Weapons, however, seemed much more practical to many people. Not only could they improve one's combat strength, but they could also be passed down as family treasures.
When the Tiger-Mouth Overlord Blade and Dark Nether Snake Shadow Sword spread throughout Wu Tan City, Mo Yu, who lived deep within the family, gradually heard some rumors as well. Seeing how just two weapons had caused such a grand commotion in Wu Tan City, he could not help but sigh at the scarcity of fine weapons and the remoteness of a small city.
On the third day, the Xiao Family also received an invitation from the Mitel Auction House. Several elders in the family were quite interested. After all, a handy weapon was a rare thing.
That afternoon, Mo Yu took the opportunity to slip out. However, he did not put on a black robe, instead arriving at the auction house openly.
Today's Mitel Auction House was undoubtedly the liveliest it had been in half a year. The spacious hall was packed with people, and the noisy clamor was like a swarm of flies buzzing about, making everyone irritated.
After entering the auction house, Mo Yu found that although there were still many people, it was much quieter than outside. He swept his gaze around the venue, then walked to a seat toward the back of the auction platform and sat down.
Sitting somewhat toward the rear, Mo Yu glanced around in boredom and lazily leaned against the back of his chair, waiting for the auction to begin.
Not long after he sat down, another wave of heavyweight guests arrived.
Mo Yu glanced over casually and found that they were all elders and other decision-makers from the Three Great Families. Their purpose was obvious: the two weapons Mo Yu had refined.
Under the attention of countless gazes, Ya Fei, dressed in an outfit resembling a red cheongsam, moved gracefully onto the auction platform. Her voluptuous figure, tightly wrapped in the red cheongsam and accentuating every curve, immediately caused the gazes of some people in the hall to grow heated.
With a charming smile on her pretty face, Ya Fei covered her mouth and giggled, saying a few words to the audience below. That mature allure, which could easily make a man's lower abdomen blaze with Evil Fire, quickly heated up the atmosphere in the hall.
Looking at the atmosphere that had suddenly become heated, Mo Yu raised his brows. As expected of Ya Fei. If she lived on Blue Star, every Fortune 500 company would probably fight to recruit someone like her.
Looking at the heated hall, Ya Fei felt slightly pleased with herself. Years of experience had taught her just how powerfully her beauty attracted men. Her Red Lips curved into a faint smile.
Failing to notice Mo Yu deliberately sitting in the back row, Ya Fei slightly parted her Red Lips and gave a light laugh. She clapped her delicate hands and said with a beaming smile, "Everyone, Ya Fei knows the purpose of your visit today. Therefore, the opening dishes at the beginning of the auction will be omitted. The finale items will appear directly."
As she spoke, Ya Fei lightly raised her hand. The lights on the stage immediately dimmed. She bent down slightly and took a wooden box from the center of the platform. Inside it lay a great saber nearly two meters long, resting like a crouching tiger.
When they saw that Tiger-Mouth saber, the eyes of everyone below immediately grew much hotter. One by one, they rubbed their fists and wiped their palms, preparing to take it home.
"Tiger-Mouth Formation-Breaking Blade, forged by an unknown Artificer Master. This blade is heavy and powerful. When swung, it is like a fierce tiger pouncing on its prey. The starting price is thirty thousand Gold Coins!"
Although the price Ya Fei announced caused the hall to fall briefly silent, a tall and powerfully built Middle-aged Man covered in muscle soon shouted in a deep, resonant voice, "Forty thousand!"
That was Aoba Ba, an elder of the Aoba Family, one of the Three Great Families of Wu Tan City. He possessed the strength of a Two-Star Dou Grandmaster. Seeing the man, whose height rivaled that of a basketball star, Mo Yu recognized him as well.
"Forty-five thousand."
"Forty-nine thousand!"
Clearly, Aoba Ba was not the only one interested in this weapon.
Listening to the constantly rising prices, Mo Yu was somewhat surprised. The people present were clearly far more eager for a fine weapon than he had expected. It seemed that his decision to have the Mitel Auction House promote them had been quite wise.
After the bidding continued for nearly half an hour, the Tiger-Mouth Formation-Breaking Blade ultimately fell into Aoba Ba's hands at the high price of sixty thousand Gold Coins.
Putting everything else aside, just based on Aoba Ba's physique, there was probably no one present more suited to the Tiger-Mouth Formation-Breaking Blade than him.
Seeing the first weapon sell for such a high price, Ya Fei also Sighed in Relief. She thought to herself, This price should satisfy him, right? I wonder whether he was angry about what happened last time. Hopefully, this auction will give him a better impression of the Mite'er Family.
Ya Fei Shook His Head lightly, then looked at the disappointed faces of those whose bids had failed. She smiled and, once again, brought out a wooden box under everyone's watchful eyes. After opening it, she said with a smile,
"Dark Nether Snake Shadow Sword. It is as dark as the netherworld and moves like a snake's shadow. After being appraised by the Mitel Auction House, this sword was found to possess a certain ability to pierce through the Dou Qi Armor condensed by Da Dou Shi. Starting price: forty thousand Gold Coins!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's gazes grew even hotter.
Compared with the wide and powerful Tiger-Mouth Overlord Blade, this short sword undoubtedly appealed to a much broader audience. Moreover, it could pierce through Dou Qi Armor, making it an excellent weapon for sneak attacks and assassinations!
Ya Fei had clearly realized this as well, which was why she had raised the starting price by ten thousand directly.
"Forty thousand." A Man wearing a loose black robe that concealed half of his face spoke coldly.
Following the sound, Mo Yu focused his gaze on the Black-robed person. Seeing those somewhat familiar clothes, the Youth raised his brows.
What concerned Mo Yu even more was the other party's aura. That cold, snake-like killing intent made him seem like an extremely dangerous Assassin.
"It seems that aside from the Three Great Families, there are some interesting people in Wu Tan City." Seeing this, Mo Yu subconsciously became wary.
"Forty-five thousand." Seeing the Black-robed person bid, many people were shocked by his chilling killing intent, but a few bold ones still called out their bids.
"Fifty thousand!" An aged voice rang out. Hearing the somewhat familiar voice, Mo Yu turned around and saw that it was indeed the Xiao Family's Second Elder. However, judging by the pained look on his face, it seemed he had even thrown in his coffin money.
"Old man, you shouldn't play with something this dangerous. Sixty thousand!" The speaker was the Second Elder of the Jialie Family, the Three-Star Dou Grandmaster Jialie Nu. Unlike the Xiao Family's Second Elder, he was in the prime of his life. At this moment, he looked at the Xiao Family's Second Elder with a mocking expression.
Hearing This, the Second Elder, who was usually skilled at bullying his own family, became somewhat speechless. Fifty thousand was already the highest price he could offer.
"Seventy thousand!" The Black-robed person beside them called out again.
Hearing This, Jialie Nu frowned. He also found the Black-robed person's cold aura and mysterious origins difficult to fathom.
"Eighty thousand!" Jialie Nu tried adding another ten thousand.
Upon hearing Jialie Nu's renewed bid, the Black-robed person fell silent for a moment before saying coldly, "One hundred thousand!"
Hearing that the price had risen by twenty thousand at once, everyone in the hall stared at the Black-robed person in astonishment. Spending one hundred thousand on a weapon was simply too extravagant.
Many people began guessing at his identity. Clearly, Wu Tan City had never had a figure like him before.
The other elders of the Three Great Families also wore uncertain expressions. Without their families' support, and relying only on the wealth they had accumulated over the years, they could clearly no longer continue bidding.
Thus, after the stalemate lasted for a moment, Ya Fei knew the auction was nearly over and promptly struck the hammer to finalize the sale.
Seeing this, Mo Yu quietly slipped out. In an empty corner, he changed into the black robe he had worn earlier, then returned to the auction house.
The two weapons had cost only twenty thousand Gold Coins to make, yet they had sold for one hundred and sixty thousand. Mo Yu was astonished. It seemed that selling weapons on the Dou Qi Continent was indeed a path to wealth.
Led by a Maidservant, he arrived at Ya Fei's office. To Mo Yu's surprise, the person receiving him this time was not Ya Fei herself, but her Personal maidservant, Xueli.
"My lord, these are the things you requested. Please check them." The Maidservant named Xueli carefully handed over a Storage Ring, then stood cautiously to the side.
As for why Ya Fei had not come personally, Mo Yu had a vague guess. It was probably because Ya Fei had mistakenly thought she had rejected him last time and now felt somewhat embarrassed.
Mo Yu did not take it to heart. He Shook His Head lightly, then sent his Soul Power into the Storage Ring and began examining the Refining material he needed.
As time slowly passed, while the Maidservant nervously waited nearby, a smile gradually appeared at the corner of Mo Yu's mouth.
The Mitel Auction House was truly efficient. In just a few days, they had gathered all the materials he needed.
He transferred all the Refining material and the remaining fifty thousand Gold Coins into his own Storage Ring, then handed the other Storage Ring to the Maidservant.
"Please inform Young Miss Ya Fei that I am very satisfied with this transaction."
After saying this, Mo Yu glanced at the Maidservant, who looked as panicked as a rabbit. He smiled, turned around, and left.
Next, it was time to bring the Beast Ring and Divine Might Black Thunder Spear into the world...
