Inside the private room, upon hearing Fang Qian's words, although the group of Dou Di experts couldn't help but tremble inwardly, they eventually fell silent.
The Dou Di experts sitting here are all seasoned veterans. Although Fang Qian's words stirred their hearts and even made them almost unable to resist making a move, they also knew that Fang Qian, as the auctioneer of this auction, naturally had considerable auction experience. All he said was to get them to bid and compete, so as to drive up the price of this Ultimate Transformation Pill.
On the auction stage, seeing that there was no movement from the private rooms, Fang Qian frowned inwardly. However, he also knew that the guys in the private rooms were, after all, powerful Dou Di experts with meticulous minds. Considering their own interests, they naturally dared not bid easily.
Of course, once one of them makes a bid, many more will be unable to resist the temptation and will start bidding. At that point, without him saying anything more, the price of the Ultimate Transformation Pill will naturally skyrocket.
The atmosphere in the room was somewhat tense, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that this brief silence was merely a prelude to the storm to come.
"Hehe, everyone, the owner of this Ultimate Transformation Pill hopes to exchange it for a Spirit Class cultivation technique. The technique's attributes don't matter, as long as it's at least Spirit Class. Of course, exchanging it for high-grade materials of equal value is also acceptable. However, if anyone is willing to exchange it for Cultivation Methods and Combat Skills, then the latter can be omitted. If anyone here is willing, then please do so!"
As Fang Qian finished speaking, his cloudy gaze swept over the private rooms once more, a half-smile playing on his old face. Although no one had bid yet, Fang Qian remained calm. He believed that what was meant to happen would happen eventually.
However, this wait lasted for nearly half an hour.
Everyone in the arena was starting to get impatient. This was a contest between Dou Di level experts, and it had nothing to do with them, the Half-Emperor level experts.
Even though they were also tempted by the pill, they knew that this fourth-tier pill Ultimate Transformation Pill, would only end up in the hands of these Dou Di experts. If any of them dared to speak up, they would be united against by the Dou Di experts in the private room. These Half-Emperor weren't stupid enough to put themselves in danger for a single pill.
"I will offer a thousand-year-old Thousand-Fan Leaf."
However, just when everyone thought the silence would continue, a clear shout of bidding rang out once again in the vast auction hall.
The powerful voice, like the tolling of a bell, echoed throughout the auction hall. The clear sound resonated in everyone's ears, causing the expressions of everyone present to change.
The next moment, as if by prior agreement, everyone present turned their gazes toward the private room where Xiao Yan was.
They clearly heard that it was another thousand-year-old Thousand-Fan Leaf. Since the start of the auction, no one except Xiao Yan in that private room had ever brought out such a thing.
Now, upon hearing the sound of Thousand-Fan Leaf for the second time, everyone in the audience immediately thought of Xiao Yan without hesitation.
Feeling the astonished gazes coming from all directions, Xiao Yan remained unmoved inside the private room. At the same time, in the void outside the room, the empty space slowly distorted, and Xiao Yan's figure reappeared before the eyes of everyone in the auction house.
Xiao Yan, now fully revealed, stretched out one hand in the void before him. Above his palm, suspended in the air, was a leaf of the same size as the one he had seen before— the Thousand-Fan Leaf.
Upon seeing the Thousand-Fan Leaf again, the expressions on everyone's faces instantly changed. Judging from the unique pattern on the Thousand-Fan Leaf in Xiao Yan's hand, this Thousand-Fan Leaf was definitely not the previous one, which meant that Xiao Yan did indeed have a second Thousand-Fan Leaf.
However, what intrigued everyone even more was whether the black-robed youth possessed a third, or perhaps more, Thousand-Fan Leaf Fans.
If that's the case, then even if Xiao Yan is Third-Tier Alchemist, I'm afraid no one on the field today would be willing to let him go!
Upon hearing Xiao Yan's sudden shout of bidding, Fang Qian on the auction platform below couldn't help but be slightly taken aback. He was surprised, as Xiao Yan was clearly a Half-Emperor, so why would he need to auction off such a pill?
However, Fang Qian then realized that with Xiao Yan's incredible cultivation speed, becoming Dou Di expert was only a matter of time. Even if he were to auction it off now as a way to prepare for becoming Dou Di in the future, it didn't seem unreasonable!
Meanwhile, elsewhere, Jin Yao couldn't help but show a look of extreme surprise on her pretty face. She hadn't expected that Xiao Yan would actually take out two Thousand-Fan Leaf in succession.
"What... what has this guy been doing these past two days?!"
A thin layer of cold sweat slowly trickled down Jin Yao's fair forehead. She could almost imagine the immense price Xiao Yan had paid these past two days to catalyze the emergence of these two Thousand-Fan Leaf.
I'll offer a Hundred-Flower Grass!
Shortly after Xiao Yan finished speaking, the Dou Di experts in the auction house seemed to be getting impatient. Outside a certain private room, an old man in a yellow robe with a gloomy face appeared. At the same time, a plant that was neither flower nor grass stood gracefully in his hand.
Upon hearing the old man's words, everyone present turned their gaze to him, and soon, different expressions appeared on each of their faces.
Everyone had anticipated a bidding war, but what they didn't expect was that these Dou Di powerhouses would actually compete with this Third-Tier Alchemist.
It should be noted that, given the latter's status, most Dou Di experts would not want to antagonize him. Yet, this yellow-robed elder dared to provoke such a hornet's nest in order to obtain a fourth-grade pill. It seems that this yellow-robed elder will likely get into considerable trouble afterward!
Of course, the old man in the yellow robe was aware of this, but unfortunately, his strength had not improved for hundreds of years after he advanced to the Dou Di. The reason he participated in the auction was ultimately for the Ultimate Transformation Pill.
For this reason, the old man hadn't touched anything else at the auction. Now that the moment had finally arrived, even if it cost him his entire fortune and risked offending a Third-Tier Alchemist, he was determined to get this pill!
"Hmph, though the Hundred-Flower Grass is good, it can't compare to my Seasonless Flower! The Ultimate Transformation Pill will surely be mine!"
At this moment, in another private box in the auction hall, an elderly man with long, fiery red hair stepped out, and a gray flower appeared in his hand.
Seeing this scene, Fang Qian on the auction stage slowly narrowed his old eyes, and a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.
