The Auction Begins, Xiao Yan Strikes It Rich!

As the clear chimes rang out in the auction hall, the extremely noisy atmosphere gradually subsided, and countless eyes, burning with desire, were cast towards the crystal auction stage.

"Hehe, everyone, I'm sure you're getting a little impatient. In that case, I won't bother with any more polite words."

The white-haired old man in magnificent robes smiled as he looked at the sea of heads in the arena. Finally, his gaze swept over the powerful figures sitting in the front row, and his loud voice echoed throughout the arena.

Judging from the slight nods of the crowd below, this move won over quite a few people.

"As this is an annual auction, I believe that this year's event, hosted by our Eight Fan Sect, will certainly not disappoint you all." The old man clapped his hands lightly and announced loudly, "I hereby declare the Black Seal City Auction open!"

As the old man's voice fell, the huge crystal platform suddenly burst into a blinding light. After a long while, the light gradually faded. On the crystal platform, in front of the white-haired old man at the auction stage, a long, silver spear reflected a chilling luster under the light. Judging from the energy traces flowing on the sword, it was clearly a Magical Core carefully forged by a master craftsman.

"This spear is named Jingzhe. It is forged from Silverlight Iron and can cut through iron like mud. Furthermore, it is perfectly inlaid with a Fourth-Grade lightning-type Magical Core. If someone who cultivates Lightning Attribute Dou Qi uses it to fight, their combat power will surely be enhanced."

Such divine weapons are rare indeed. If you are interested, don't hesitate to spend your money! After all, money can be earned back, but you only have one life! Haha!

The old man gripped a long, silver spear. With a tremor, arcs of silver lightning appeared on the spear. He turned to look into the auction hall and said with a smile:

"Starting price: 200,000. Please proceed."

"Magical Core, huh...?"

Looking at the long spear, Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow.

Now that he has the Heavy Profound Ruler, a weapon with wide-ranging and imposing attacks, as well as the decent longsword given to him by Yun Yun, he doesn't really need this spear.

However, this spear was a good weapon for Xiao Li, the second brother.

As one of the few VIPs present who were qualified to sit in a private room, Xiao Yan's move was so decisive that no one else could compete with him.

Therefore, after Xiao Yan directly announced the price of 300,000 gold coins, no one else raised the price.

It's important to understand that the earning power of ordinary strong individuals is completely incomparable to that of alchemists.

This can be seen from the fact that when Duo Ma hired powerful experts like Xiao Yan and Xiao Yi Xian Da Dou Shi guards, he could only earn five thousand gold coins.

It's important to know that within the Black Corner Region, there are even some Dou Ling, and even Dou Wang expert, who become assassins to earn bounties.

This is a business where you risk your life to make money.

People like alchemists can earn hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars just by refining medicines without having to work themselves to the bone; most people can only envy them.

After all, the stringent requirements for becoming an alchemist already exclude the vast majority of people in this world.

After the first auction went smoothly, a dazzling array of treasures, armor, Dou Technique, cultivation methods, medicinal herbs, and more began to appear on the auction stage.

But Xiao Yan wasn't interested in most of them, and the people around him didn't need them either.

In the early stages of the auction, no particularly exciting items appeared, and Xiao Yan simply closed his eyes to rest.

"Bite..."

Another clear bell rang from the crystal platform. The white-haired auctioneer, beaming, took a small silver tray from a maid. On the tray were four small, transparent jade bottles, each containing a tri-colored pill.

The appearance of this elixir immediately attracted a lot of attention. After all, in the Dou Qi Continent, elixirs are a highly sought-after item comparable to cultivation techniques and Dou Technique. Those elixirs that can directly enhance strength are especially coveted by countless people.

"Hehe, this pill is called the Three-Turn Qi Gathering Pill. You may not have heard of it, but if you have heard of the Three-Vein Green Spirit Pill, you will be familiar with this Three-Turn Qi Gathering Pill, because this Three-Turn Qi Gathering Pill can be said to be an even more perfect Three-Vein Green Spirit Pill!"

One-Turn Qi Gathering Pill can help those who have been lingering at the Peak Dou Master to break through the barrier in one fell swoop. A single-patterned Green Spirit Pill can also do the same.

However, all four of these are Qi Gathering Pills of the third rank, capable of boosting a Da Dou Shi's strength by two or even three stars without any side effects!

We at the Eight Fan Sect have already verified this, and the effect is completely true.

In addition, even those who have never taken this Dou Ling before can still take it to increase their strength by one or even two stars!

The white-haired auctioneer pointed to the elixir in the bottle and said with a smile.

As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, a commotion broke out in the auction hall. Countless people stared eagerly at the jade bottle on the silver tray. This kind of pill, which could directly enhance one's strength without any side effects, was almost a rare find even in the Black Corner Region.

It should be noted that in the Black Corner Region, although the peak experts are the rulers, the Da Dou Shi level is also the backbone of many forces. Not to mention that this pill can even be taken by Dou Ling experts, which is enough to drive the many forces present into a frenzy!

"Of course, I must also advise you all that although the Three-Turn Qi Gathering Pill can also help Dou Master break through the barrier, its powerful medicinal effects are not something an ordinary Dou Master can handle. Therefore, this pill is best used on Da Dou Shi or Dou Ling experts."

The auctioneer smiled and then announced, "Starting price: one million!"

"One million one hundred thousand!"

The auctioneer had barely finished speaking when a powerful figure in the front row shouted loudly.

"One million one hundred and eleven thousand!"

There were clearly many people interested in this Three-Turn Qi Gathering Pill, and the bidding price soared accordingly.

Xiao Yan sat in his chair, his fingers interlaced, listening to the rising prices. A faint smile appeared on his face. The popularity of this Three-Turn Qi Gathering Pill in the Black Corner Region far exceeded his expectations. Judging from the current situation, even 1.5 million might not be enough to secure it...

Bidding calls echoed throughout the auction hall. Before long, the price of a single Three-Turn Qi Gathering Pill soared to 1.58 million. When the price reached this point, the bidding calls became much less frequent.

After all, there are four pills in total; it's not too late to buy more later.

Ultimately, the first Three-Turn Qi Gathering Pill was successfully sold for 1.63 million.
