An Astronomical Ten Million
Xiao Yan's gaze fell on Fan Ling's location, and he muttered, "We can't let this go. I want to see if that guy will try to interfere again!"
The auctioneer on the crystal platform explained in detail the function and origin of the Earth Core Fire Ganoderma Earth Core Fire Ganoderma on the jade plate, which piqued the interest of many people.
Immediately, the auctioneer clapped his hands again, and another jade plate was brought out, on which an ancient, tattered map came into view.
Xiao Yu's eyes narrowed slightly. That must be the map of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame that appeared in this auction!
"Hehe, everyone, this map looks a bit strange. According to our appraisers' speculation, it should be an unknown treasure map. In fact, we don't really know what its purpose is, so we've decided to auction this tattered map together with this Earth Core Fire Ganoderma." The auctioneer said with a smile.
However, the crowd in the auction house was not buying it at all, and immediately booed. This tattered map was being given away as a bonus in the auction of the Earth Core Fire Ganoderma, clearly an attempt to use the Earth Core Fire Ganoderma to inflate the value of the tattered map. As for the treasure map, forget about it. What use could a tattered treasure map be?
The auctioneer on stage seemed to know the purpose of this, so after hearing the boos, his smile turned awkward.
"According to our assessment, the starting price for this Earth Core Fire Ganoderma is 700,000. With the addition of this treasure map, the final starting price is 800,000. Ladies and gentlemen, please bid!" The auctioneer then quickly announced the price of the Earth Core Fire Ganoderma along with the tattered map.
However, after the exorbitant price of 800,000 was announced, those who were initially interested in the Earth Core Fire Ganoderma immediately backed down, complaining, "This thing is so expensive? A lousy map costs 100,000 Gold Coins? I think the Eight Fan Sect are crazy for money!"
If it were just for 700,000 Gold Coins, they could still get it, but this is an auction. It's normal for the price to double. There's no need to spend 1.4 million Gold Coins on a medicinal herb that's not very useful to them, especially since it comes with a tattered map. If the price goes up by another 100,000, it has to be said that the Eight Fan Sect are really greedy!
"Eight hundred and one thousand!" But soon, the bidding officially began. They added ten thousand to the starting price, which was considered a concession. I just don't know if this was a shill hired by the Eight Fan Sect!
"Eighty-two hundred thousand!" "Eighty-five hundred thousand!" "Eighty-sixty thousand!"
Driven by the crowd's enthusiasm, the price of the Earth Core Fire Ganoderma gradually climbed towards one million. Xiao Yu glanced at Fan Ling, who seemed uninterested in the Earth Core Fire Ganoderma.
Xiao Yu tilted his head and looked at Xiao Yan, saying, "Do you want to bid on this Earth Core Fire Ganoderma? But I want the map!"
Xiao Yan asked with slight surprise, "What? You know the origin of that map?"
Xiao Yu nodded slightly and said, "More or less, we'll discuss this further when we get back!"
Xiao Yan didn't say much. Hearing that the price of the Earth Core Fire Ganoderma had reached 1.05 million, he raised his hand and shouted, "1.2 million!"
The sudden high price startled everyone present, and their gazes turned towards Xiao Yan and his group. When Fan Ling saw that it was Xiao Yan, his brows furrowed deeply again. He really wanted to bid against Xiao Yan again, but he was afraid that he would be tricked by Xiao Yan and his companion in the end. If he didn't have enough Gold Coins, his father would really cripple him!
Fan Ling shook his head slightly, extinguishing his competitive spirit. After all, although the Earth Core Fire Ganoderma was extremely precious, it was of no use to someone like him who cultivated Yin-cold techniques. So he didn't act impulsively anymore, since the last item was the most important!
Xiao Yan's deep voice came from beneath the black robe. "Can we strike the hammer now?"
The auctioneer on stage then realized that the price of 1.2 million was already quite good, and after asking three more times, he brought down the hammer!
Xiao Yan finally breathed a slight sigh of relief. After all, if Fan Ling had intervened again, he would either have to pay more money or the money would have ended up in Fan Ling's pocket!
With the appearance of the Earth Core Fire Ganoderma, the auction gradually came to an end. As each item was presented, the various factions that were publicly known did not make any further moves, seemingly waiting for the final item to be auctioned.
Xiao Yan, however, also bought an Eight Directions Bright Fire Cauldron, spending 400,000 Gold Coins.
The auctioneer waved backstage again, and the auction reached another climax with the release of a scroll of Earth Class movement and Dou Technique.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the penultimate highlight of this auction: a Earth Tier Low-Grade Dou Technique: Three Thousand Lightning Movement!"
The auctioneer's soft voice instantly silenced the previously noisy and bustling auction. Everyone's eyes turned bloodshot. If it weren't for the deterrent effect of the Eight Fan Sect' power, they probably would have already rushed up to snatch it!
Even Xiao Yan let out a soft breath, his eyes filled with shock. This was the first time he had ever auctioned Earth-tier Dou Technique at an auction. It seemed that this year's auction was really generous!
Xiao Yu calmly watched the auctioneer on the stage introducing this Earth-tier Dou Technique. Like Moon Chase, Three Thousand Lightning Movement was a Earth Tier Low-Grade Dou Technique. When Moon Chase was mastered, its speed was so great it could distort space. While Three Thousand Lightning Movement was considered fast among movement Dou Technique, it was merely the foundation for cultivating the Three Thousand Thunder Illusion Body, the treasure of the Central Plains Wind Thunder Pavilion and Three Thousand Lightning Illusory Body. Therefore, in terms of speed alone, it couldn't compare to Moon Chase!
Cai Lin looked at Xiao Yu with great interest and said, "Aren't you even a little bit tempted?"
Xiao Yu was slightly taken aback. "What are you interested in? You mean the Three Thousand Lightning Movement?"
Cai Lin nodded slightly and said, "That's a Earth-tier Dou Technique, you know. Do you need me to help you snatch it?"
Xiao Yu frowned and said, "What trouble are you causing now? Forget it, you should just stay a pretty face and not worry about these things!"
"Ha, coward!" Cai Lin gave a slightly sarcastic sneer and then fell silent.
Xiao Yu didn't bother arguing with her and turned his gaze back to the arena. At this moment, the bidding for the Three Thousand Lightning Movement had begun, and in just a short while, the price had already reached a high of two million Gold Coins, and it was still rapidly climbing upwards.
In the end, after a few minutes of competition among various forces, the middle-aged man from the Black Skull Tomb, whose face twitched slightly, offered a sky-high price of 10.2 million, thus securing the Earth Class Dou Technique in one fell swoop!
Countless people in the arena trembled at the sight of this astronomical price of tens of millions. Even a force like Black Skull Tomb, which has been developing in the Black Corner Region for many years, would probably need a long time to recover.
The middle-aged man from the Black Skull Tomb slowly exhaled a breath of stale air. "Ten million. I hope this movement Dou Technique hasn't disappointed me!"
The Blood Sect and the Heavenly Snake Mansion clearly hadn't expected that the Black Skull Tomb's true target would be this movement Dou Technique. In order to secure their final auction prize, both families withdrew from the auction in disappointment!
