Auction Begins

Amidst the whispers filling the room, the white-robed elder named Mo Qing surveyed his surroundings, his gaze lingering on the private boxes before he clasped his hands in greeting and said, "Greetings, everyone. Let the auction officially begin."

"You may all have heard of my reputation and know my rules. Auctions hosted by me will only feature twenty items, but I believe their quality will satisfy you all."

Although Mo Qing's words were somewhat arrogant, no one refuted them, indicating that quite a few people were indeed aware of this rule.

"Interesting."

Xiao Ming smiled as well. He was also curious to see just how valuable these twenty items were, that even a powerful force like the Fire Spirit Race had sent people to participate.

Amidst countless expectant gazes, the white-robed elder clenched his fist, and a ball of light appeared. When he opened his palm, a blood-red light spread out, and within that light was a piece of soil about the size of a fist. However, this soil was crimson in color, as if it were stained with blood, and faintly, an extremely strong bloody smell seemed to emanate from it.

Those in the front row who were closer to the source of the smell felt their Qi and Blood surge, and a strange feeling welled up in their hearts, giving them the urge to swallow the Blood Spirit Mud.

"Blood Spirit Mud originates from the Origin of Divine Beasts. It contains a trace of the essence of the flesh and blood of Divine Beast Mighty Expert. This Blood Spirit Mud can be ingested, and after ingestion, it will greatly benefit the physical body. If there is a powerful alchemist who is skilled in alchemy, he can even use this Blood Spirit Mud to refine Blood Spirit Pill, which can Shedding Mortal Flesh and Exchanging Bones one's physical body." Master Mo Qing said with a faint smile.

"Starting bid for this item: two million Supreme Spirit Liquid!"

The audience erupted in uproar!

They had heard of Blood Spirit Mud before; it was a divine object for tempering the physical body. Only when the Origin of Divine Beasts opened would the Divine Beast Family organize its members to enter the Origin of Divine Beasts. During this time, the Blood Spirit Mud obtained would be used to enhance their physical bodies, and very little of it circulated outside.

It's not the time when the Origin of Divine Beasts are open yet, so such a large piece of Blood Spirit Mud is rare. Judging by its appearance, it could at least double the physical strength of an ordinary powerhouse!

Two million one hundred thousand!

There were quite a few powerful individuals in the arena who coveted the Blood Spirit Mud. After all, many powerful individuals in this world were keen on forging a powerful physical body, as having a strong body was an advantage in every aspect.

Two million two hundred thousand!

Two million three hundred thousand!

In just one minute, the price of Blood Spirit Mud skyrocketed from two million Supreme Spirit Liquid to three million. Only then did the bidding gradually decrease. After all, three million Supreme Spirit Liquid was no small sum, and it was not something that ordinary Supreme experts could afford. They must have at least one powerful force supporting them.

Finally, the Blood Spirit Mud was sold for 3.2 million Supreme Spirit Liquid to a fierce-looking middle-aged man.

"The second item up for auction..."

After the bidding ended, the white-robed elder clenched his hand, and another ball of light appeared. Inside the ball of light, there was a liquid that looked like fire. The liquid was like magma, and flames floated as it flowed. An unusual high temperature was emanating from it, and the temperature of the entire Auction House also increased!

"This is the Spirit Fire Companion Jade Marrow. As we all know, various powerful flames are born in the world, and this Companion Jade Marrow is a treasure that is only produced after absorbing countless energies beside these powerful flames. For those who cultivate Fire Attribute Cultivation Method, this is Supreme Treasure that can enhance their attack attributes."

"Auction price: one million Supreme Spirit Liquid."

As soon as he finished speaking, countless gazes were cast upon him. The Fire Attribute Energy contained in this Spirit Fire Companion Jade Marrow was considerable, and even simply absorbing its energy would be of great benefit to him.

Xiao Ming was also somewhat interested in this item, as it could be used in medicine.

Inside the luxurious private room in the front row, the proud man from the Fire Spirit Race had a burning gaze. He possessed both the Heavenly Spirit Fire Companion Jade Marrow, and after seeing that the news about the Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire was true, he knew he hadn't made a mistake coming here!

"Brother Huo Mo, should we bid on this Companion Jade Marrow?"

A man of similar age standing nearby asked.

As they spoke, pricing for the Companion Jade Marrow began.

"One million five hundred thousand!"

"One million three hundred and ten thousand!"

"..."

The Companion Jade Marrow can at least be absorbed to increase strength, so there are quite a few people competing for it, and in a short period of time the price has been raised to around 1.5 million.

At this price, there are hardly any competitors left.

Seeing that those vying for the prize were not from any major power, the arrogant young man sneered and said, "They're just small fry. They don't know that the Companion Jade Marrow enhances the absorption of Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire, and its value is far more than 1.5 million. Go and report 3 million!"

The old man in white robes watched as the bidding began and ended, waited a moment longer, and then raised his hand to announce the result.

"3 million Supreme Spirit Liquid!"

Some gazes turned towards it, filled with surprise, not expecting that the Fire Spirit Race would also be interested in such an item.

Some mocking and sympathetic glances were also cast at Xiao Ming, since he was the one who made the last bid.

Those gazes seemed to say, "You outbid everyone else before, but now that the Fire Spirit Race has made their move, hasn't your prize slipped away?"

This gaze had no effect on Xiao Ming. It wasn't that he couldn't afford the 3 million Supreme Spirit Liquid, but it wouldn't be worthwhile to use it to buy a piece of Companion Jade Marrow. Just as he was about to give up, Qing Yanjing's gentle voice rang out beside him.

"6 million Supreme Spirit Liquid!"

Wow!

These words left everyone speechless.

Some gazes were cast upon Qing Yanjing as if she were a sucker.

Spending 6 million on Companion Jade Marrow to please your gigolo? Even if you have money, you shouldn't spend it like that!

Many people even looked at Xiao Ming with envy, jealousy, and hatred. How could he be so lucky to be with such a rich woman just because he's a little good-looking!

"Isn't this unnecessary? It's a waste of money and could easily cause unnecessary trouble." The surrounding gazes made Xiao Ming cough lightly.

"Don't worry, I have plenty of Supreme Spirit Liquid! As for the trouble, you'll have to handle that; my strength hasn't recovered yet." Qing Yanjing covered her mouth and chuckled.

The sight of Xiao Ming and Qing Yanjing chatting happily infuriated Huo Mo. He had doubled his bid to show his determination to win, but the couple had also bid back, clearly disregarding him!

When did the Fire Spirit Race ever lose face like this?!

"Brother Huo Mo, are you going to raise the price again?"

"Hmph, no need! There's no need to waste time with them over mere Companion Jade Marrow. The real focus is on the Spirit Fire. As long as we acquire the Spirit Fire, we Fire Spirit Race have plenty of methods to control it!"

Although Huo Mo was furious, he was not blinded by anger.

With Huo Mo's surrender, no one bid in the Auction House.

Seeing this, the white-robed elder waved his sleeve, and a bell-like sound echoed throughout the Auction House, indicating that the Companion Jade Marrow had been successfully auctioned off.
