Beginning

"Quite a few familiar faces have come! Second brother, third brother, it seems we'll have a tough time getting that Seventh-Grade Pill this time!" the lion-shaped elder at the head said in a deep voice.

"Brother, we can give up on the Seventh-Grade Pill, but we must get one of those Sect-Breaking Pills," another bear-shaped old man hummed.

As for competing with those Dou Zong and Dou Venerable for Seventh-Grade Pill, he didn't have the guts.

Sensing a slightly oppressive atmosphere emanating from some of the private rooms, the three withdrew their gaze and began to calculate the benefits they could gain.

In another room, a handsome man dressed in gold gently swirled the crystal glass in his hand, then took a sip with relish.

"Eighth-Rank Alchemist? I wonder if I'll have the chance to pay him a visit!"

Meanwhile, similar scenes were unfolding in other rooms, in the locations of other factions.

Finally, after more than half an hour, a clear bell rang out slowly in the Auction House, and then the noise in the hall was suppressed.

As the bell tolled, an energy halo slowly extended upwards from the auction stage, eventually sealing it off like a prison. This was a protective measure set up by experts at the Dou Zong or above, while the one inside the arena was set up by Dou Zun expert.

The people attending this auction are all quite capable. Although the Green Emperor Pavilion is confident in its ability to keep everyone present in check, it is still necessary to take necessary precautions.

As the halo extended, an old man dressed in an ice-blue robe appeared on the auction stage. The old man smiled slightly, and a hidden, powerful aura slowly swept out from his body, causing everything to become extremely quiet under the influence of this aura.

The old man cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to the surroundings, glanced around, and laughed loudly:

"I am Hai Bodong, and I would like to thank all the friends and seniors who have come to support me."

Hai Bodong's words also elicited some laughter, some good-natured and some sarcastic.

Hearing the laughter, Hai Bodong smiled slightly. Although he had not yet broken through to the Dou Zong, he was a prominent figure in the surrounding countries more than ten years ago and had some friends.

"Hehe, I'm sure you're all eagerly anticipating this auction, so I won't waste any more time on annoying platitudes." Under the watchful eyes of countless people, Hai Bodong said with a faint smile, "However, I must remind you all of the rules of the auction. If anyone dares to act recklessly and forcibly rob on my Green Emperor Pavilion's territory, I'm sure no one will want to try!"

Under Hai Bodong's words, which carried a chilling undertone, two subtle spatial fluctuations spread through the Auction House with a terrifying aura. With the appearance of these two auras, even some vicious people extinguished their strange thoughts.

"It seems the Mittel Family is quite skilled at auctions and networking." Lin Qing looked at Hai Bodong in the room and couldn't help but nod slightly.

"Hehe, now, please enjoy the Heaven Grade Auction of the Green Emperor Pavilion!" Seeing that the intimidation effect had been achieved, Hai Bodong smiled and said, the sinister look in his eyes instantly disappearing.

After he finished speaking, he bowed once more to several seats in the VIP section, and then slowly withdrew from the auction stage.

As Hai Bodong withdrew, the floor of the auction stage cracked open, revealing several passageways. Immediately Yafei, dressed in a red brocade robe, walked out with a smile. Her voluptuous figure appeared curvaceous under the tight red brocade robe.

Following them were a group of beautiful maids carrying silver platters in both hands. The maids flitted around the stage like butterflies, and then respectfully placed the silver platters on the auction stone platform.

From their vantage point, the crowd could see that each item on the silver platter was covered by a red cloth, but they could vaguely sense that it contained various objects that shimmered with a faint light. The moment these objects appeared, the eyes of some people in the room lit up with fervor.

A charming smile graced Yafei's pretty face. This was her first time participating in such a grand auction, and she knew that hosting it well would greatly benefit her future treatment. Thinking of this, she quickly suppressed her excitement, covered her mouth, and giggled as she addressed the audience, "Hehe, everyone, I'm sure you've all been waiting impatiently. In that case, let's officially begin this auction!"

Yafei knew perfectly well what the audience wanted to see and hear, so she cut straight to the point. Sure enough, this move won her a standing ovation.

As she finished speaking, the lights in the entire hall dimmed considerably, and at the same time, the stage lights focused on the auction stage.

"Clap clap!" Yafei clapped her hands lightly, and a maid stepped forward and lifted the red cloth on one of the silver trays, revealing a blue scroll.

Yafei carefully picked it up, then gently shook her hand, causing the scroll to slide down sharply and reveal a pair of miniature azure eagle wings, seemingly swirling with azure wind, appearing in everyone's sight. She smiled lightly at the crowd:

"Azure Falcon Wings, Low Earth Tier Flight Dou Technique!"

"As you all know, the production method has been lost, and the Flight Dou Technique is extremely precious. Moreover, the wings used in this Flight Dou Technique scroll are those of a Peak Sixth Tier wind-attribute Azure Falcon, whose speed is comparable to a low-tier Dou Zong. Therefore, after our discussion, the starting bid for this Flight Dou Technique scroll is 5 million gold coins, and each bid must be at least 10,000 gold coins higher!"

"The auction now begins!"

It must be said that Yafei has exceptionally rich auction experience. With just a little effort, she instantly stirred up the atmosphere in the Auction House. Although 5 million gold coins is a lot, it's just a drop in the ocean for everyone present!

As a result, numerous bids were heard in the Auction House.

Hearing the bidding cries around him, Lin Qing tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest of his chair. He nodded in satisfaction as the prices steadily climbed in the Auction House. He had brought out quite a few good items this time, naturally hoping to make a large profit.

Finally, the bidding, which lasted for about fifteen minutes, gradually subsided. At this point, the price of 5 million had been capped, and it was set at 10.86 million gold coins.

Yafei smiled as she watched the bidding subside in the arena. 10.86 million, far exceeding the original value of this Dou Technique scroll, was the price. She gently tapped the silver hammer on the auction stage three times, and the Low Earth Tier Flight Dou Technique scroll was successfully auctioned off.

Following this successful start, the atmosphere in the Auction House gradually heated up, and taking advantage of this excitement, Yafei began to introduce other items one after another.
