Auction Begins, Buying Every Lot!

One-Star later, time flew by.

In seven days, Xiao Yan further refined his Dou Skill, and his Soul Dou Skill, Void Soul Prison, was completely perfected, with the third move fully mastered.

His Soul Power has also improved, bringing him one step closer to breaking through to the Spirit Realm.

Inside the inn, Xiao Yan donned a well-fitting black outfit, put on a mask with flame patterns, and said to Hai Bodong, "Elder Hai, it's time to set off."

Hai Bodong agreed and set off with Xiao Yan.

After leaving the hotel, Xiao Yan and Hai Bodong arrived at the Black-Seal Auction House.

The annual Black-Seal Auction has long attracted many people due to its reputation built up in previous years.

The entrance was packed with people, a sea of heads.

Xiao Yan roughly assessed the strength of the people present. Dou Zhe and Dou Master would be considered minor experts elsewhere, but here they could only squeeze in and obediently queue to get in.

The other entrance, the VIP entrance, saw only a few scattered individuals entering: Da Dou Shi, Tier 3 Alchemist, Dou Ling, Dou Wang, people from powerful factions, and the extremely wealthy...

Xiao Yan beckoned to Hai Bodong, and the two walked towards the VIP entrance.

Unsurprisingly, they were stopped.

"Please stand in line to the side, or show your VIP cards," the security guard said.

Xiao Yan naturally didn't have a VIP card; he simply took out a Black-Gold Card, representing wealth, from his Storage Ring.

Upon seeing the Black-Gold Card, the gatekeeper's expression immediately became respectful. "Sir, with this Black-Gold Card, your wealth is sufficient to obtain a VIP card for my Black-Seal Auction House. You can go to our auction house to buy and sell some items first. As long as the amount reaches the threshold, you can receive a VIP card. Please come here after you have finished."

Xiao Yan gave a faint "hmm," his mood somewhat peculiar.

Previously in the Jia Ma Empire Jia Ma Empire, he rarely needed gold coins. The resources he needed were beyond what gold coins could buy. He relied on elixirs or other items to barter for goods.

In this Black-Corner Region, resources are even more abundant, and the level of items that can be bought with gold coins has risen several notches. Finally, all those gold coins he possessed were going to come in handy.

Following the instructions of the gatekeeper, Xiao Yan bought some items at the auction house, including some barely acceptable ice-attribute Medicinal Herbs, which were good enough to be used as auxiliary materials for Tier 6 Medicinal Pill. The total cost was about a few million, but he didn't care much about it.

Because of his high spending, the auction house staff directly and respectfully handed him a Level 1 VIP Card, with a smile on their faces.

Holding the VIP card, I returned to the VIP entrance and entered smoothly this time. The doorman's smile was incredibly humble.

Entering through the VIP entrance, passing through a long corridor, and turning a corner, you enter a giant auction venue.

A casual glance reveals the densely packed seats that could easily accommodate thousands of people.

The chairs in the very front rows are even more luxurious plush soft seats, which are very comfortable.

Looking at the high platform, it was entirely constructed from precious crystals, dazzlingly beautiful.

"Sir, please show your seat number," a receptionist asked as he stepped forward.

Xiao Yan remained silent and handed over Level 1 VIP Card.

The receptionist slightly widened her eyes and said respectfully, "Please follow me."

Led by the reception staff, Xiao Yan and Hai Bodong went directly to the first row of seats and sat on the plush soft chairs that could completely envelop their bodies. Hai Bodong stood aside with the posture of a strong man, looking down at the others.

The same first row seats.

Besides Xiao Yan, there were many other distinguished guests present at the time.

Among them, the one who caught Xiao Yan's eye a little more was Fan Ling, the young sect leader of the Blood Sect, who had a significant role in the original novel.

He looked like a young man, but his body seemed to be extremely malnourished, with his skin clinging to his bones and his whole body devoid of any color. He resembled a rotting, foul-smelling male ghost living in a muddy riverbed, inspiring instinctive disgust.

"What are you looking at!" Fan Ling noticed Xiao Yan's undisguised gaze and immediately reacted.

Xiao Yan withdrew his gaze without replying.

In his mind, Fan Ling was already a dead man.

The last item in the auction was the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill. The condition for the auction was that the seller had to agree to two requests, which he was unlikely to agree to. Therefore, this item was destined to be bought by someone else.

In the original novel, Xiao Yan remembered that this item was purchased by the Heavenly Snake Mansion, but due to his various actions, the Heavenly Snake Mansion was simply unable to spare any resources and did not send anyone this time.

So, apart from Elder Qing of the Heavenly Snake Mansion in the original story, Fan Ling, the young sect master of the Blood Sect, is the most likely candidate to win the bid for the pill.

His desire to seize the elixir made murder and robbery a foregone conclusion.

Time passed.

As the auction hall filled with people, a smiling, white-haired old man stood on the crystal platform for quite some time.

"Buzz--!"

A bell tolled throughout the auction hall.

The white-haired old man suddenly spoke up, "Everyone has waited long enough, so from now on, I won't use any more official platitudes that might annoy you."

"Next, the annual Black-Seal Auction, hosted by our Eight-Fan Sect, will officially begin!"

As the white-haired old man finished speaking, a burst of bright light shot out from the auction platform in front of him, illuminating a long sword with a deep blue body.

The white-haired old man explained, "This sword is named Cold Edge, and it was created by a... In conclusion, this is an excellent Third Rank Magic Core."

"Starting bid: 100,000. Bidding begins!"

This weapon was useless to Xiao Yan, but Xiao Yan still held up the sign.

He might not need it, but that doesn't mean his subordinates can't. For example, the old mercenary named Xue Lan would find this weapon very suitable.

"Two hundred thousand." Xiao Yan raised his sign.

The price doubled immediately, effectively eliminating any room for other bidders in the market.

No one raised their placards anymore, and many people turned their attention to the man wearing the Flame Mask, curious about his identity.

Fan Ling shook his head and said, "Fool! This weapon is worth at most 140,000 to 150,000. To bid 200,000 for it is incredibly stupid."

Xiao Yan didn't turn his head, but simply said a number, "1."

Fan Ling, puzzled, snorted and ignored him.

The auction continued, with all sorts of treasures appearing on the auction stage.

Armor, weapons, Medicinal Herbs, pills, Magic Core, Cultivation Technique, Dou Skill, Beast Flame seeds, and even a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl with huge breasts, whose cute and delicate face was full of shyness aroused the lust of many beasts present.

If he were poor, or lacked the ability, Xiao Yan might have silently lamented the tragic fate the girl was likely to face. But now he had the ability.

So without hesitation, while others were still bidding 100,000 or 110,000, he directly raised the price to 150,000.

The auction hall was somewhat quiet, and for what seemed like the umpteenth time, all eyes were on Xiao Yan.

It wasn't because Xiao Yan bought the girl, but because from the beginning until now, whether it's precious armor and swords, Medicinal Herbs herbs and pills, Cultivation Methods and Combat Skills, or even Heavenly Treasures and Earthly Riches and Beast Flame,

Xiao Yan bought all the items in the auction.

All the items were sold at incredibly low prices, with the total cost approaching ten million gold coins!

"Just who is this person?!"
