Blood Sect Muscling In on the Business
Looking at all the markers on the Minimap, Mo Tang couldn't help but smile.
"I didn't expect so many people to come this time..."
The most eye-catching figures here are still Xiao Yan and his Old Yao, the former Venerable Yao, was just too powerful. Even now, with only his soul remaining, he is still far superior to ordinary Dou Emperor.
Not far to Mo Tang's right was a group from the Blood Sect, led by Fan Ling, the Young Sect Master of the Blood Sect, who was a low-level Dou Ling with considerable strength.
The old man accompanying him was a high-level Dou Ling, presumably an elder or similar figure from the Blood Sect.
As one of Mo Tang's main targets this time, he still paid close attention to these people from the Blood Sect.
However, in the original novel, it seems that Fan Lao, the Sect Master of the Blood Sect, also came, and even ambushed the elder of the Heavenly Snake Mansion who had won the Yin Yang Profound Dragon Pill at auction. But in the end, Xiao Yan benefited from the situation...
After looking around, Mo Tang did not find Fan Lao in or around the venue. It was likely that he and his men were hiding in the shadows, ready to take action against those who had obtained the good stuff.
"What... is this trying to steal my business..." Mo Tang muttered under his breath.
In addition, those present included forces such as Black Skull Tomb and Heavenly Snake Mansion, as well as some lone wolf powerhouses.
Of course, Mo Tang didn't care about any of this...
The main reason he attended this Auction was to find out who would get the items he was interested in.
The Remnant Map of the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire, the Earth Tier Body Technique Three Thousand Lightning Movement, the Seventh-Grade Pill Yin Yang Profound Dragon Pill ...
These are the three things that Mo Tang cares about most.
Aside from the Remnant Map of the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire, Mo Tang simply wasn't qualified to compete for the remaining two, given his current financial resources. Moreover, he was well aware of this...
There were too many people watching these two items. If he jumped out to compete for them, even if he managed to get them, he might not be able to keep them. Instead, he would expose himself to the public, which would be detrimental to his next move. Therefore, he decided to play it safe for now.
The clear chimes of bells echoed slowly throughout the auction hall, and as the chimes rang out, the extremely noisy commotion gradually subsided...
The annual Black Seal City Auction has begun!
Although the Eight Gates to preside over the auction was not a beautiful and enchanting woman like Ya Fei, but rather an old man with a face full of wrinkles.
Even after each precious item was brought up for auction, it still attracted a frenzy of bids from the auctioneers below.
After the successful first auction, an even more dazzling array of treasures began to appear on the auction stage...
Armor, weapons, Dou Technique, cultivation methods, medicinal herbs, and so on. There was even one time when Mo Tang stared in astonishment at the pretty young woman who had been pushed forward.
The girl was young, perhaps only twelve or thirteen years old, but her figure was astonishingly developed. Her timid face immediately aroused the desires of the men in the auction house who were always killing, and they all turned into wolves. In the end, they managed to get a high price of nearly 130,000, which made the White-haired Auctioneer on the stage grin from ear to ear.
Mo Tang sat on the soft chair, calmly observing the ugly scenes around him, his brows slightly furrowed.
He considered the desire and pursuit of treasures to be normal, after all, it wasn't just these people, he himself would also be tempted.
But the auctioneer's involvement still made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.
Of course, it was just that he felt uncomfortable and didn't like it. He didn't have the saintly heart to jump out and rescue the other party. Later, he simply lowered his eyes and closed them, quietly waiting for his target to appear.
One by one, the items were placed on the auction stage, and then taken away by people with high bids.
Mo Tang didn't open his eyes again until the "Green Spirit Pill" appeared.
"The Green Spirit Pill with two patterns must have been made by Xiao Yan..."
Xiao Yan can only use his own Purple Flame and Old Yao's Bone Spirit Cold Flame now, so forget about the Three-Patterned Green Spirit Pill; at best, he can only refine a Two-Pattern one.
This stuff is useless to Mo Tang now, because the Green Spirit Pill can only provide Low-grade Energy.
However, to Mo Tang's surprise, there were many people at the scene who were eager to buy the Two-Stripe Green Spirit Pill, including some from powerful organizations.
In the end, each of these Two-Stripe Green Spirit Pill fetched a high price of 600,000, which surprised Mo Tang greatly. Sure enough, prices in the Black Corner Region were much higher than outside!
The following Flight Battle Skill, Thunder Bat Sky Wings, caused a sensation, but there were not many people who were truly qualified to participate. It was mainly a contest between the Blood Sect and the Heavenly Snake Mansion, and in the end, it fell into the hands of Fan Ling, the wealthy and powerful young master of the Blood Sect.
After the auction of Thunder Bat Sky Wings, which was the biggest climax from the beginning to the end, was completed, the subsequent auctions entered a low ebb.
After all, it's impossible for all of the hundreds of items in this Auction be rare treasures; even the Eight Gates couldn't possibly gather that many.
Leaning back in his chair, Mo Tang tapped his knees lightly with his fingers, looking somewhat bored.
"Hehe, the items to be auctioned next are a bit strange, because even we don't know what their purpose is. However, after our Auction has examined them carefully, they seem to be some kind of unknown treasure map."
The White-haired Auctioneer bent down to take out a silver tray, and then carefully lifted the brocade cloth covering it.
Suddenly, a tattered old piece of cloth appeared in everyone's sight.
"Shh..."
Upon seeing the tattered cloth, the auction hall was silent for a moment before erupting in boos.
Hearing the disdainful hisses, the White-haired Auctioneer's smile became somewhat awkward. However, he did not notice that the moment he spoke, Mo Tang, who had been looking bored, suddenly perked up.
"Damn it! After waiting for so long, it's finally here..."
The Remnant Map of the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire is one of the items that Mo Tang absolutely needs to obtain!
Moreover, since the exact value of this item is unclear, there aren't many people present who might compete with him for it.
Of course, Mo Tang still needs to be careful. After all, although the Remnant Map of the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire doesn't look special on the outside, it contains extremely special soul power inside. If it encounters someone with extremely keen soul power, they will still be able to discover its secrets.
And coincidentally, Old Yao, who followed Xiao Yan, was just such a person...
"Little guy, take a picture of this Fragment Map!"
The Old Yao's voice rang in Xiao Yan's ears, causing a sense of doubt to arise in his heart.
"Teacher, do you recognize that Fragment Map?" Xiao Yan's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked in his mind.
The Old Yao replied directly, "No, it's just that I sensed an unusual soul fluctuation from that Fragment Map, but I can't be sure."
Anyway, nobody seems to want this thing, and it won't cost much. Why don't you just buy it and take a look? Maybe your luck will change.
