Auctioning a Profound-tier High-grade Dou Technique!

ps: The previous chapter was stuck in review for a long time, causing a late update. You guys know how it is, give it a thumbs up.

Whoosh!

The moment those words were spoken, the entire venue fell silent!

One hundred thousand gold coins?

That was one hundred thousand gold coins! Even for the great families of Wutan City, it was a colossal fortune.

Furthermore, using one hundred thousand gold coins to buy a second-tier magical beast's wood-attribute magical core was simply not worth it in the eyes of the crowd.

After all, a typical second-tier magical beast's core was worth at most ten to twenty thousand gold coins. One hundred thousand gold coins truly exceeded its inherent value.

But there was no shortage of wealthy people in this world. If you couldn't afford it, someone else certainly could.

For a moment, the auction house erupted in a frenzy, and all eyes turned towards the source of the voice.

However, all they saw next was a closed window. Still, sharp-eyed individuals recognized Xiao Xun'er's figure.

At this moment, Ya Fei stood on the high platform, a hint of joy appearing on her alluring face. She then smiled and said:

"One hundred thousand gold coins, first call! Is anyone offering a higher price?"

The entire auction house was silent. In everyone's eyes, one hundred thousand gold coins had not only exceeded the proper value of this second-tier wood-attribute magical core but also the financial capabilities of many present. Therefore, everyone chose to remain silent.

In a secluded corner, looking at the window that had just opened, a faint smile appeared on Xiao Tian's face. "This girl, she's really a little rich woman..."

Beside him, Xiao Yan secretly clicked his tongue. It was clear he had only just realized that the woman who had just acquired the high-grade wood-attribute magical core was Xun'er. However, speaking of which, Xun'er being so extravagant, spending one hundred thousand gold coins on a second-tier magical core was simply wasteful!

After the bidding for this high-grade wood-attribute magical core concluded, not long after, the entire auction was nearing its end and entered a break, with the final item about to be auctioned.

Taking advantage of this moment, Xiao Tian pondered and decided to auction off the Profound-tier High-grade Dou Technique he had obtained through the system – Snowfall in the Human World. He had already comprehended this technique himself, and the scroll was still in his system space. It was redundant to keep it, so he might as well auction it for gold coins.

With this thought, Xiao Tian left the auction house and entered the Mietel Auction House's appraisal room.

When the scroll for the Profound-tier High-grade Dou Technique, Snowfall in the Human World, was placed on the table by Xiao Tian, the elder in the appraisal room was stunned for a long time. Immediately after, his face was filled with intense shock.

This was a Profound-tier High-grade Dou Technique, and moreover, it was an extremely rare Ice Attribute Dou Technique on the Dou Qi Continent.

Even Ya Fei, who had just arrived in the appraisal room, covered her mouth in surprise upon learning that it was a rare Ice Attribute Profound-tier High-grade Dou Technique, her beautiful eyes filled with unconcealable shock.

As the chief auctioneer of the Mietel Auction House, she understood very well how precious this Ice Attribute Profound-tier High-grade Dou Technique was!

Despite her shock, Ya Fei did not ask further questions. She merely cast a lingering glance at Xiao Tian, chuckled softly, and then swayed her delicate body as she left the appraisal room.

After all the procedures were completed, Xiao Tian left the appraisal room.

He stepped onto the second floor of the auction house and his gaze fixed on a certain room. Xiao Tian walked straight towards it.

Creak--

Pushing open the door, the first thing he saw was Xun'er sitting on a chair, leisurely sipping tea.

Upon seeing Xiao Tian, Xun'er put down her teacup, a sweet, captivating smile appearing on her pretty face.

"Brother Xiao Tian!"

Xun'er called out softly, a hint of tenderness in her exquisite features.

"Xun'er!" Xiao Tian walked over with a smile.

Looking at Xiao Tian, Xun'er chuckled softly, "Brother Xiao Tian, you've come at the perfect time. I'm giving you this high-grade wood-attribute magical core. I hope it can help you!"

As she spoke, Xun'er handed the box containing the high-grade wood-attribute magical core to Xiao Tian.

"This little girl, giving me gifts again..." Seeing the high-grade wood-attribute magical core before him, Xiao Tian let out a wry smile.

In fact, ever since that time many years ago in the Xiao family's backyard, when Xiao Tian stepped forward to defend Xun'er after she was secretly envied and gossiped about by female clan members like Xiao Mei, resulting in him getting a black eye, Xun'er's attitude towards him had gradually changed.

Over the years, Xun'er's care for him had been meticulous and thoughtful, making Xiao Tian feel as if he owed her a great deal.

At this moment, looking at Xun'er's expectant beautiful eyes, Xiao Tian could only accept the gift. He thought about taking the black iron piece that concealed the Earth-tier Dou Technique later. As for this high-grade wood-attribute magical core, perhaps his cousin Xiao Yan needed it more.

"Everyone, next is the grand finale of this auction!" Just then, on the high platform at the front of the auction house, Ya Fei raised her jade hand and slowly opened a pitch-black box.

Instantly, an ancient, ice-blue scroll appeared in everyone's sight.

Seeing this, everyone held their breath and their gazes converged on the scroll. It was as if everyone's breathing had stopped.

And under everyone's solemn and excited gaze, Ya Fei's slender fingers gently unfurled the scroll. She swept her alluring eyes across the venue and chuckled softly, covering her mouth:

"Ice Attribute Profound-tier High-grade Dou Technique, Snowfall in the Human World!"

Boom--

These words fell like a bolt from the blue, instantly causing the entire auction house to erupt!

A Profound-tier High-grade Dou Technique, and an extremely rare Ice Attribute Dou Technique at that!

For a moment, the auction house was completely abuzz, and countless fiery, greedy eyes were fixed on the scroll on the high platform.

"Damn it, an Ice Attribute Profound-tier High-grade Dou Technique! I have to get my hands on it!"

"Damn it, whoever tries to snatch it from me, don't blame me for turning hostile!"

"Get lost! Even if I have to go bankrupt today, I'll get my hands on it and give it to my goddess!"

With increasingly wild roars and excitement, the previously quiet auction hall became exceptionally noisy.

"Hehehe, it seems everyone here has good taste. Since that's the case, then the starting bid for this Profound-tier High-grade Dou Technique of the Ice Attribute will be five hundred thousand!" Ya Fei said, covering her mouth as she chuckled seductively.

As her voice fell, the entire venue instantly fell silent. Many people stared wide-eyed at Ya Fei, their hearts pounding violently.

The starting bid was as high as five hundred thousand gold coins!

However, the auction hall was not without its wealthy patrons. After a brief silence, the bidding reignited and continued to climb. Finally, after a quarter of an incense stick's time, this rare Profound-tier High-grade Dou Technique of the Ice Attribute was sold for the highest single price in the history of the Mietel Auction House: one million eight hundred thousand!

Seeing that no one else was competing, a slight curve formed at the corner of Xiao Tian's mouth in his private room. He suddenly raised his paddle from the window and said calmly:

"Two million!"

At the sound of his voice, the auction hall instantly fell silent. All eyes turned towards the man at the window of the luxurious private room.

"Son of a bitch, it's that good-for-nothing from the Xiao family!"

Someone with sharp eyes, upon seeing that familiar face with a hint of laziness, immediately flew into a rage.

Xiao Tian was a pauper and couldn't afford it at all. This was clearly an attempt to deliberately drive up the price and make things difficult for them.

Just as these people were hesitating whether to bid again, suddenly, a weak male voice came from another private room:

"Two million five hundred thousand!"

Upon hearing this voice, the scene immediately fell into a deathly silence. Not a single person continued to compete.

This was because the one who had called out the sky-high price of two million five hundred thousand was none other than the alchemist who had recently joined the Oba Family, Liu Xi!

Ever since the Jia Lie family was annihilated, Liu Xi had quickly switched his allegiance to the Oba Family's camp.

In the room, Oba gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Liu Xi, our Oba Family has gone all out to help you obtain this Dou Technique this time. Don't forget what you promised me!"

Liu Xi, lying on the bed, looked pale, his eyes flashing with lewdness. While caressing the young woman in his arms, he chuckled sinisterly, "Patriarch Oba, please rest assured. After I capture Xiao Xun'er's heart with this Profound-tier High-grade Dou Technique of the Ice Attribute, I will refine Rejuvenation Powder for you for three years!"
