The auction has quite a few items and may last for four or five days.
As is customary at auctions, the first item to be offered is always a high-quality one, designed to pique the interest of those present.
An old man appeared on the platform ahead at some point. Beside him was a stone pillar, the contents of which were covered by a red cloth. The material of the cloth was unknown, and no one could see what was inside.
Inside the room, Mo Yu pressed his face against the glass pane that allowed only a view from the inside out, and asked curiously, "I wonder what the first thing will be, but it'll definitely cause a lot of people to fight over it."
Lu Changsheng glanced at it and said, "Hmm, not bad. Your Senior Brother Mu will probably try to steal it."
"Huh?" Mo Yu turned around and was stunned.
"It's a chain, and it looks like it's lightning-attribute," Lu Changsheng said, chewing on a nearby spiritual fruit.
Mo Yu was stunned. How could he tell that?
Even his father might not be able to decipher this red cloth...
Immediately afterwards, the old man on the stage lifted the red cloth and, amidst a commotion, introduced, " Upper-Grade Demigod, lightning attribute, Nine-Cord Thunderclap Chain."
Mo Yu asked with a helpless expression, "Master, to be honest, just how strong is your cultivation level?"
Lu Changsheng said, "So-so."
Mo Yu: "..."
Is this some kind of display of power?
Below, the people from the Shuozhou Academy were already getting restless, since most of them were lightning-attribute cultivators.
The old man continued to explain, "Its structure is ingenious. There are nine clasps on the chain, each capable of holding nine different types of lightning power. Each link of the chain can release different powers, and at the same time, it will amplify the lightning power injected into it by 30%."
A 30% increase?!
Moreover, it can contain nine types of thunder power.
This is an unimaginable improvement for a cultivator with the lightning attribute!
An elder from the Shuozhou Academy, his face burning with fervor, exclaimed, "We must obtain this item at all costs! It will significantly increase our chances of winning in the qualifying rounds!"
Above, in the rooms of the Holy Light Academy.
Miao Youzhi, a man of exceptionally handsome features and golden eyes, said softly, " Shuozhou Academy will likely bid, so we should follow suit. Even if we can't win, we should still raise the price to disqualify them from competing in subsequent auctions."
Everyone around nodded in agreement.
Only two people from the Mechanism Academy came.
He was also a member of the Mo Clan school.
It was Mo Xing and Mo Ling.
Mo Xing laughed and said, "Other academies will probably raise their prices, should we go for it?"
Mo Ling smiled faintly and said indifferently, "There's no need. They won't be a match for us anyway."
Upon hearing this, Mo Xing shrugged and remained silent, presumably agreeing with the assessment.
Amidst the eager gazes of the crowd, the old man smiled inwardly and said, "Other weapons, such as swords and knives, can also be wrapped around the chains for use, or talismans can be added."
And upon hearing this...
Even Mu Fusheng, who had shown little interest until now, slightly raised his head.
The Gu Sheng was very perceptive and noticed Mu Fusheng's actions. He laughed and said, " Shuozhou Academy is definitely determined to get it, and other academies will follow suit and raise the price. Do you think you can snatch it?"
Mu Fusheng said calmly, "If you can get it, then get it; if not, then forget it."
He himself had about 70,000 Flawless Primordial Stone left from previous mission rewards and the Prince's tomb.
Including Xiao Hei, Shi Sheng, and Fang Qiong, there are still about 300,000 left.
The old man began bidding, saying, "Starting price: 0. Each bid must be at least five thousand Flawless Primordial Stone. Let's begin..."
He hadn't finished speaking.
Shuozhou Academy then began submitting its bids!
"One hundred thousand!"
The old man smiled, raised the small wooden mallet in his hand, and said, " Shuozhou Academy, 100,000 coins per round."
Immediately afterwards, lightning-attribute cultivators, who were also part of other top-tier forces, began to offer their bids.
"110,000!"
Shuozhou Academy followed suit, shouting, "140,000!"
This method of increasing the price clearly demonstrates Shuozhou Academy's determination to win.
Cultivators from other factions wanted to compete, but were stopped by those nearby.
"Forget it, they're going to participate in the qualifying rounds, they're obviously going all out. If we try to snatch it, it'll put us at a disadvantage in the later auctions. We absolutely have to get that item!"
Only then did the other factions give up.
"One hundred and fourteen thousand once." The old man didn't hesitate for long, and after a brief pause, he said, "One hundred and fourteen thousand twice."
At that moment, a voice came from the room where the Holy Light Academy was located, "150,000."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked on with amusement.
It seems these colleges are going to raise prices among themselves.
The Grand Elder of the Shuozhou Academy also looked extremely grim. He gritted his teeth and said, "One hundred and seventy thousand!"
Holy Light Academy: "180,000."
Shuozhou Academy: "Two hundred thousand!"
Two hundred and five thousand.
Two hundred and thirty thousand!
It can be said that the value of 230,000 Flawless Primordial Stone has already exceeded that of this Demigod- level chain.
This is also the output of some second-tier forces over the past five years...
While it's acceptable for the Shuozhou Academy, it's still extremely costly, and it might put them at a disadvantage in future competitions.
Holy Light Academy seems to know the limits of the Shuozhou Academy's capacity.
Miao Youzhi smiled and said, "Since everyone from the Shuozhou Academy wants it so much, then it's yours."
These words caused a vein to throb on the forehead of the Grand Elder of the Shuozhou Academy, and for a moment, a faint rumble of thunder echoed in the air!
"Cough!"
On the stage, the old man coughed heavily and said coldly, "Let me reiterate: anyone who causes trouble during the auction, regardless of who they are, will be blacklisted by all chambers of commerce in the Heavenly Mystery Continent!"
In other words, once they leave this auction house, it's no longer their concern.
The Grand Elder, his face grim, withdrew his aura.
The old man then continued, " Shuozhou Academy: 230,000 coins once... twice."
When you're supposed to shout it three times.
Just as Mu Fusheng was about to raise his hand to make an offer...
Below, a stunningly beautiful woman stood with a cold expression, calmly stating, "Two hundred and forty thousand."
Everyone turned their gazes in that direction, slightly taken aback.
"Is it the Jiu Bailu from the Nine Dragons Divine Dynasty?!"
"The most beautiful woman in the Chaos Realm... I never expected her to come here too."
"But is she a lightning-attribute cultivator? I've never heard of her."
Mu Fusheng, standing above, also paused, sensing the ambiguous gazes around him, and looked over.
Xiao Hei, Fang Qiong, and Shi Sheng exclaimed at the same time, "The iron tree is blooming?"
The Gu Sheng stroked his chin and chuckled, "Oh? It's related to Brother Mu? Not bad, you actually managed to win the favor of this ice queen."
Below, Jiu Xuan looked at Jiu Bailu and said with a wry smile, "Sister, have you forgotten that Father Emperor's order to us was to try and win that auction item?"
Jiu Bailu said calmly, "Do you think you can seize it from the Mo Clan?"
"That..."
"Never mind, "Jiu Xuan waved his hand.
He could see that his ethereal, otherworldly elder sister was gradually becoming entangled in worldly affairs...
