Although Xie Feng did not recognize the Origin-Shaping Wood and the Dark Spirit Fruit, the first nine boxes mostly contained tools and liquid treasures, with no wood or similar items.
Only the last treasure chest is different!
Its surface is surrounded by a faint layer of energy. This energy is simple yet profound, seemingly ordinary, but it can shield it from all external observation!
Even Xie Feng's Void Heaven Spirit Eyes couldn't see through it!
A thought struck him.
What treasure will be in the last box?
Since the Void Heaven Spirit Eyes couldn't see through it, it meant that the auction house valued this treasure highly. In that case, Xie Feng didn't investigate further.
He leaned back slightly in the chair, his hands clasped on his lap, in a relaxed posture.
Thump!
With a gentle tap of his small golden hammer, Mu Ting secured the Thunder Radiance Battle Armor Mu Ting.
She moved to the next treasure chest and introduced it with a smile, "The second item is the Cangwu Heart Source!"
As he spoke, he opened the box, and a treasure that looked exactly like a blue crystal ball appeared before everyone.
Its surface has a faint sheen, but it contains boundless energy within. This energy is compressed and forms white, cloud-like patterns.
"There is a wondrous tree in the world, named Cangwu, with a majestic aura that soars to the clouds and immense power! Starting bid: two thousand!"
Mu Ting held the golden hammer, smiling as he gazed ahead, anticipating the bidding.
Two thousand five hundred!
"Three thousand!"
Three thousand five!
The price action paused briefly at this point.
Those present didn't seem to have much interest in this treasure.
Xie Feng remained unmoved.
He didn't need anything to enhance his energy, so no matter how much Mu Ting praised it, he remained unmoved.
Gu Yuan shook his head. "Heart Source, to put it bluntly, is just tree sap, full of impurities, not even as good as the Cangwu tree! This kind of stuff can only be used to make some Emperor Grade weapons. For the people on the third floor, who cares about Emperor Grade weapons!"
Xie Feng tapped the armrest of his chair lightly with his fingers and calmly smiled, "The auction house used the gimmick of Dabao, but the second one was met with a cold reception. This must have been unexpected. If this item is only sold for a few Origin Coin, the auction house will lose a fortune. They will definitely try to sell it at the estimated price."
Auction stage.
Seeing the meager number of bids, Mu Ting's expression stiffened. She glanced to the side, and just then, an auctioneer came up and handed her an ebony box.
Mu Ting opened the box, and a jade-like light shone forth. After the light faded, a blue-green object shaped like an olive was revealed.
"Our ten auction items are not ranked by quality, nor are items listed later necessarily better. The Cangwu Heart Source is extremely valuable; if you bid on it, you'll also receive a Cangwu tree seed as a bonus!"
Mu Ting raised his voice slightly, displaying an excited mood, which showed his silver tongue.
"Haha, just as I expected! Brother Xie, you guessed right!" Gu Yuan nodded approvingly.
Xie Feng smiled without saying a word.
"The more they say that, the less you should buy it!"
"Exactly, if it's not leftover stock, why are they in such a hurry to give away a free gift?"
"Who wouldn't want something good? Anything that's not wanted must be trash!"
"Let's wait for the better stuff later!"
The crowd whispered among themselves.
Mu Ting heard this and showed a slight look of embarrassment.
because...
Some people are right!
Cangwu Heart Source is just leftover stock!
Half of these ten treasures are leftover stock! How can they be sold without an attractive promotion?
Auction houses need to make money too!
"Junior brother, take a picture of the tree seed." At this moment, a calm voice rang in Xie Feng's mind.
"Senior brother, what did you discover?" Xie Feng asked curiously, his heart stirred slightly.
"In my opinion, it just looks like a tree seed; it may not actually be a seed of the Cangwu tree!"
" Cangwu is a very rare and exotic tree that grows on the top of Cloud Mountain and is rarely seen by ordinary people."
"The seed's lifespan is very short. To obtain it, it must be picked within the brief two minutes of its formation; otherwise, one must wait millions of years."
"I was fortunate enough to see the seeds once, and I always felt... they were different from those on the auction stage today..."
Kong Qiusu carefully, then frowned and said.
He was a true master, able to perceive extraordinary qualities even in the smallest details. Xie Feng had great faith in his senior brother.
He said to Gu Yuan, "Take the Cangwu Heart Source!"
Gu Yuan's eyes widened. "Brother Xie, what use do you have for this? It's a waste of money!"
Xie Feng said, "I don't lack money."
Gu Yuan shrugged, "Okay!"
Rich and willful!
He raised the paddle in front of him, indicating that he was bidding. Upon seeing this, Mu Ting's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked with a smile, "Esteemed guest, how much would you like to bid?"
Gu Yuan asked, "What's the price now?"
Mu Ting said, "Eight thousand."
Gu Yuan said, "I'll offer 50,000. Let's see who wins!"
Mu Ting was stunned. From eight thousand to fifty thousand, the price had skyrocketed!
Realizing what was happening, fearing Gu Yuan might change his mind, she quickly sealed the deal, "Three! Two! One! No bidders! The second-place gentleman wins one Cangwu Heart Source!"
"What a terrible traitor..."
A low, mocking laugh came from behind.
Gu Yuan turned around and saw that it was Xu Xiang Xie Feng to make way earlier. His seat was in the middle row, yet Gu Yuan and Xie Feng could hear his mocking laughter. It was definitely intentional.
"Hiss... These Earthborn Devil Creature are getting more and more arrogant. After the auction, I really want to teach them a lesson they won't forget!" Gu Yuan gritted his teeth.
Middle row.
"Don't cause trouble!"
The woman beside Xu Xiang warned him again!
"Our Blazing Devil Dragon Clan can roam freely in the Azure Mystic Domain without any problems, what are you afraid of! Cowards!" Xu Xiang curled his lip and let out a contemptuous laugh.
"Shut up!" the woman snapped impatiently.
Although Xu Xiang was arrogant, he was clearly still somewhat intimidated by her. After letting out a cold snort, he shut his mouth and remained silent.
After the Cangwu Heart Source, Mu Ting auctioned off one treasure after another, but Xie Feng lost interest, and Gu Yuan kept shaking his head.
He was the Evil Lord of the Imperial Evil Realm. He was well-informed and had a high standard of vision. What others considered rare treasures were nothing special to him.
"We're just waiting for the last one!" Xie Feng whispered.
"Only five out of ten exhibits have been auctioned off. How can Brother Xie be so certain that the last one is worth seeing? Knowing the nature of Heavenly Mystic Auction House, the last one might not necessarily be the best!" Gu Yuan said.
"I know what's in the first nine boxes, only the last one is shrouded in mystery," Xie Feng said lazily.
"You can see through things?" Gu Yuan blinked in surprise.
"I guess so!" Xie Feng shrugged.
"Sigh, I regret not learning eye techniques when I was young! X-ray vision! Wouldn't I be able to see whatever I want...?"
As he spoke, Gu Yuan's expression changed. He suddenly sat up straight, covered Xiao Gu Yuan with both hands, and stared at Xie Feng warily, "Brother Xie, you... you wouldn't..."
Xie Feng: "..."
A vein throbbed on his forehead.
What's going on in this person's head?!
How could you possibly make that connection?!
He suppressed the urge to hit someone and gritted his teeth, saying, "I don't have such a heavy taste!"
Gu Yuan said with a grin, "That's good, that's good."
