Thunderous Auction

"As everyone knows, on the vast Dou Qi Continent, besides humans and Magical Beasts, there also exist some rare and precious treasures and Heavenly Earth Spirit Items."

When the group heard the white-haired old man utter his first nonsensical remark, their calmed hearts almost flared up again. However, seeing that he had only just begun his introduction, they patiently waited for him to continue.

"I won't go into detail about these rare and precious materials, everyone knows about them. Today, our auction item is related to these Heavenly Earth Spirit Items."

At this point, everyone's interest gradually piqued. After all, not everyone knows about these Heavenly Earth Spirit Items.

"No one knows exactly how many spiritual treasures exist in the world, but among them, the most well-known is undoubtedly the Heavenly Flames that Alchemist so admire and crave. Alchemist with the aid of Heavenly Flames can achieve limitless success. It is said that the Medicine Emperor Han Feng possesses Heavenly Flames, but of course, this old man cannot confirm whether it is true."

Hearing this, everyone calmed down and waited for the white-haired man to continue explaining.

After all, Medicine Emperor Han Feng, is now an object of eager currying favor in the Black Corner Region. With his strength 6th Grade Alchemist, he holds the title of the Number One Alchemist in the Black Corner Region. As a result, no one wants to miss his gossip.

"Without an extraordinary opportunity, one cannot encounter these Heavenly Earth Spirit Items. Of course, even if one does encounter them, without proper preparation, one cannot refine them. And the most important part of these preparations is the place to store these treasures after they have been refined."

Some larger forces might know that after refining spiritual objects, specific substances are needed to encapsulate them, but ordinary martial artists almost never do. As a result, they listened attentively to the white-haired old man explaining this knowledge, just like obedient children.

"Hehe, everyone, by now you've probably guessed the purpose of this item, right? That's right, this item is for storing these refined spiritual objects. Its name is— Spirit Absorption!"

"It really is Spirit Absorption!" Lin Ming said upon hearing the white-haired old man announce its name.

The original text states that the process isn't complete once the Heavenly Flames refined. It requires transferring it into a container. Otherwise, leaving the Heavenly Flames inside the body for an extended period will cause problems.

Of course, the Spirit Absorption isn't the only one capable of storing Heavenly Flames, but it's definitely the best choice. This is why Spirit Absorption Old Yao had Xiao Yan use the Spirit Absorption in the original novel.

"Some friends may be curious about this name, wondering why it differs from Storage Ring by only one character. In fact, this Spirit Absorption is essentially no different from the Storage Ring we use. Both are about creating a space to store things."

"However, no one uses Spirit Absorption to make Storage Ring. After all, ordinary Storage Ring can be made by processing Storage Ring Spirit Stone, but such ordinary Storage Ring cannot withstand the enormous energy of Heavenly Earth Spirit Items. Only the highest-grade Spirit Stone have a certain probability of producing Spirit Absorption that can withstand the enormous energy impact of Heavenly Earth Spirit Items and thus be stored within them."

"Alright! After this introduction, everyone should have a better understanding of the items for this round of auction. Now, let's begin the bidding process."

"This round of auction item— Spirit Absorption, starting price two million Gold Coin, each bid must be at least ten thousand. Bidding begins now!" After the white-haired old man set the price, the bidding for Spirit Absorption officially began.

"Three million!" Lin Ming exclaimed.

The bid of three million stunned everyone present. After all, who would immediately raise the price by one million? Seeing that no one else was bidding for a while, this was exactly the effect Lin Ming wanted.

For Lin Ming, Spirit Absorption was something he absolutely needed. Therefore, when he made his bid, he wanted everyone to know his determination to acquire it, and also to deter those without the necessary assets from interfering.

A price of three million is definitely extremely high. After all, this Spirit Absorption is said to be able to store spiritual objects such as Heavenly Flames, but where are Heavenly Flames so easy to find? Didn't you see that in the entire Black Corner Region, only Han Feng could possibly possess one?

Without a spiritual object to store it, this Spirit Absorption is just a dull gray thing. As for using it to refine Storage Ring, it's so small, and the internal space is even smaller than an Intermediate Storage Ring. How much does an Intermediate Storage Ring cost? Only two or three hundred thousand Gold Coin. So only a fool would pay ten times the price for it? With that money, you could buy an Earth Tier Low-grade Dou Technique.

"Three million one hundred thousand!" After a long silence, someone finally spoke up, raising the price.

"Three and a half million!" Lin Ming's voice rang out again after that first voice.

"Three million five hundred and one thousand!"

"Four million!" Lin Ming shouted again, stunning everyone. They all began speculating about which faction Lin Ming belonged to.

However, with Lin Ming concealing his figure in a black robe, all the guesses of the group could only come to nothing.

"The bid for the item Spirit Absorption, has already reached four million. Is there anyone willing to bid higher?"

"Four million once!"

"Four million twice!"

"Four million three times!"

"Thump!"

"Make a deal!"

"Congratulations to our distinguished guest for winning this round of bidding with a price of four million Gold Coin!"

With a broad smile, the white-haired old man struck the auction gavel, announcing that Lin Ming had won the bid for Spirit Absorption.

The moment the gavel struck, Lin Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief. After all, now that he had secured the Spirit Absorption- Gathering Scroll, he had basically prepared everything he needed to refine the Heavenly Flames. Therefore, Lin Ming didn't feel any remorse for the four million Gold Coin he had spent.

As the first item was auctioned off, the atmosphere in the room became even more heated. After all, this was the first and most anticipated item, allowing everyone to broaden their horizons. Its price was also the highest of all, exceeding one million Gold Coin for most of the previous auctions, let alone four million.

"Ladies and gentlemen, if very few people know about the first item, then the next item is one of the most familiar to everyone. Alright, let's look at the final item, the second one!" The white-haired old man's voice rang out again on the auction stage.

As the white-haired man's voice faded, a maid brought out another silver tray and placed it on the auction table.

After the maid placed the silver tray, the white-haired old man didn't keep her in suspense this time and directly removed the curtain from the tray.

As the curtain was lowered, an ice-blue scroll appeared on a silver plate, revealed to everyone.
