Auction House! You Talk to Me About Strength?

Auction House! You Talk to Me About Strength?

Inside the Black Emperor Auction House.

As Mo Tianxing departed, the floor of the auction platform split open, and an elderly man with a full head of white hair but a vigorous spirit walked out with a smile.

Behind him, a group of beautiful maidservants carried silver trays in both hands, flitting across the stage like butterflies before respectfully placing the trays atop the stone auction stands.

"Everyone, I will be presiding over the auction from here on. The first item is a palm technique Dou Technique."

The white-haired elder smiled as he pointed to a silver tray before him. Resting on it was a snow-white scroll.

Over the following period, the elder auctioned off item after item.

From Dou Techniques to Cultivation Methods, medicinal herbs to pills, beast carcasses to Magic Cores—there was everything imaginable, and the bidding prices climbed ever higher.

Among them, Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er participated in two auctions and successfully obtained the items they needed.

As for Jiang Han, he truly remained nothing more than a spectator.

At his current level—

Everything being auctioned here was utter trash.

He had nearly fallen asleep listening to it all.

Only when the elder onstage stepped down and the Black Emperor Sect's leader returned to the platform did things change.

"Everyone, the next item is the final item of this auction. I presume all the Dou Zong-level powerhouses present came for this."

Under countless burning gazes, Mo Tianxing first took an exquisite jade box from his Storage Ring and placed it on the display stand. Then, unhurriedly, he took out a pair of purple-gold gloves from his Storage Ring.

"This is a seventh-tier mid-grade pill that found its way from Central Province to the Black-Corner Region. It is called the Yin-Yang Life Soul Pill, and it possesses the miraculous effect of merging souls and restoring life."

"Battle brings life and death, but the soul may have a chance to escape. If the soul escapes and wishes to be reborn a second time, reconstructing a body is an unavoidable step. The Yin-Yang Life Soul Pill is an indispensable item in that process!"

As Mo Tianxing explained, he slowly opened the jade box.

The instant the jade box opened, an extraordinarily dense pill aura erupted like a volcano.

At its source was a pill about the size of a longan.

It was black and red throughout, round and lustrous.

"Due to its immense value, our sect has decided that this auction will not accept gold coins. It will be a barter exchange!"

Hearing Mo Tianxing's demand, quite a few powerhouses in the VIP seats frowned and fell silent.

To them, gold coins were useless. They could always earn more after spending them.

But in a barter exchange, anyone wishing to obtain the Yin-Yang Life Soul Pill would have to bring out a treasure worth no less than it.

"One Dou Ling Pill and one Emperor Grade Pill."

After the barter rules were announced, Grand Elder Su Qian was the first to speak.

His bid shattered the clamor, instantly stirring an uproar throughout the auction house.

The Dou Ling Pill was a peak fifth-tier pill, while the Emperor Grade Pill was even a sixth-tier pill.

Both were superb pills capable of directly raising a Dou Wang's or Dou Emperor's strength by one or even two stars.

"As expected of Jia Nan Academy. What extravagance!"

Many powerhouses in the VIP seats recognized Su Qian and Hu Qian and spoke up in succession.

If converted into gold coins, the value of those two pills would never be less than eight million.

"A fist technique Dou Technique, mid-grade Earth class."

Following Su Qian, an elderly man in a black robe made his bid. He was also a Dou Zong powerhouse.

"One Dou Ling Pill and one Sect Breaking Pill!"

The third bidder was a blood-haired elder wearing a yellow robe patterned with skeletons.

"Who is that? He actually brought out a Sect Breaking Pill!"

"The founder of Demon Flame Valley! Earth Demon Old Ghost!"

"I never thought he was still alive!"

Everyone's gaze focused on the blood-haired elder. Once someone revealed his identity, the powerhouses present all showed astonishment.

Although the Sect Breaking Pill and Emperor Grade Pill were both sixth-tier, the former was a top-tier sixth-tier pill.

Not only could it increase the chances of advancing to Dou Zong, it could also ensure that the user's strength would not decline after failing to break through to Dou Zong.

In terms of value, the Sect Breaking Pill was clearly worth more than the Emperor Grade Pill.

Just as the powerhouses present believed that no one would bid after Earth Demon Old Ghost—

A fourth voice rang out.

"A Rank 8 Fire Magical Beast Fire Pearl." The bidder was Jiang Han.

Jiang Han's bid naturally shocked Su Qian and Hu Qian beside him first.

"A Rank 8 Fire Pearl? Where did you get that?" Hu Qian stared wide-eyed at Jiang Han.

A Rank 8 Magical Beast was comparable to a human Dou Zun!

Jiang Han did not answer Hu Qian's question. He slowly took out the Giant Fire Lizardman's Fire Pearl from his Storage Ring.

"Kid Jiang, you're wasting a heavenly treasure! You prodigal brat!"

Sensing the vast fire energy within the Fire Pearl and confirming that it truly was a Rank 8 Fire Pearl, Su Qian cursed furiously.

The value of a Rank 8 Fire Pearl far surpassed that of the Yin-Yang Life Soul Pill!

Had he known this brat would use a Rank 8 Fire Pearl in exchange, he would have traded for it beforehand.

Then, with two Dou Ling Pills and one Emperor Grade Pill, he could have obtained the Yin-Yang Life Soul Pill.

And if that still was not enough, he could simply have added another Emperor Grade Pill.

However.

An auction had its rules.

Jiang Han had already made his bid, so Su Qian naturally could not intercept it.

It was not just Su Qian and Hu Qian. Everyone present, including Mo Tianxing, was stunned when Jiang Han brought out the Rank 8 Fire Pearl.

"Sold!"

Once Mo Tianxing came to his senses, he did not even wait for anyone else to bid and eagerly accepted at once.

"Little fellow, some things are not meant for you to possess."

Before Jiang Han could go up to complete the transaction, the blood-haired elder rose into the air from his seat and appeared above Jiang Han in the blink of an eye.

Only then did Jiang Han clearly see the blood-haired elder's appearance.

The elder's face was gaunt, little more than skin stretched over bone. At a glance, he looked like a skull.

His deeply sunken eyes glimmered faintly like ghostly flames, carrying an eerie and sinister air.

The elder stood suspended in midair, his sunken pupils coldly fixed on Jiang Han. Whenever his sleeves swayed lightly, the surrounding space gave off faint ripples.

This sudden turn of events—

The guests in the VIP seats rose and moved away one after another.

Especially those closest to the elder. Upon sensing his terrifying aura, some even sprang from their seats.

In just a few seconds—

Only Su Qian and Hu Qian remained around Jiang Han, along with Earth Demon Old Ghost in the air.

"Old Ghost, this is my territory! Aren't you being a little too disrespectful?"

Mo Tianxing snorted coldly as the aura of a four-star Dou Zong erupted.

"You have not completed the transaction yet. This old man acted before that, so it does not count as breaking your rules."

Earth Demon Old Ghost showed no fear toward Mo Tianxing. He cast him a cold glance. "Before making a move, you'd best weigh your own strength. Consider whether it is worth sacrificing the entire Black Emperor Sect for a mere little brat."

Listening to Earth Demon Old Ghost's threatening words, Mo Tianxing's expression darkened to the extreme.

Yet perhaps out of apprehension, he did not attack immediately and remained standing on the auction platform.

"I talk to you about rules, and you talk to me about strength?"

Jiang Han's gaze swept over Earth Demon Old Ghost and Mo Tianxing in turn, and he could not help laughing.
