The long queue above Xuan City meant that it would take a long time to enter the Space Auction House. In fact, this time lasted for a whole day. By the time Xiao Yan entered the auction venue, it was almost dusk in the sky above Xuan City, and the queue behind him was still very long.
The sheer volume of people at the Spatial Auction, from morning until evening, demonstrates just how incredibly attractive it is to the average person.
However, now that Xiao Yan has successfully entered the auction house, everything happening outside is naturally no longer related to him.
Just as Xiao Yan reached the spatial passage, the black-robed man who had been motionless and focused on collecting money suddenly moved. Xiao Yan turned his head with a puzzled expression, and the latter turned his head at the same time. However, because of the black robe covering their faces, neither of them could see the other's face.
You are special.
Just as Xiao Yan turned around and was about to step into the spatial passage, the old man's aged and hoarse voice suddenly rang in Xiao Yan's ears.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed sharply, and he couldn't help but be surprised. He had clearly tried his best to conceal all his aura, but he still managed to be recognized. Xiao Yan was confident that no ordinary Dou Di or alchemist of the same level could possibly detect his exact strength. The fact that this black-robed man could do so meant that the latter was either a High-Level Dou Di or an alchemist of the fourth rank or higher, or even both.
With this thought in mind, Xiao Yan's figure vanished into the void.
A dazzling white light filled Xiao Yan's surroundings, making it impossible for Xiao Yan to open his eyes. Immediately afterward, Xiao Yan Xiao Yan felt an intense white light penetrate his eyelids. He closed his eyes tightly and couldn't help but raise his hands to shield them.
A moment later, when Xiao Yan Xiao Yan his eyes again, he found himself in front of a plaza. Directly in front of the plaza stood a massive building, as large as an ancient city, like a sleeping beast, its aura terrifying to all.
Xiao Yan's gaze shifted, surveying the space before him.
This space isn't particularly large. At first glance, apart from the Old Gu building in front of you, there's no other space. All you see is a vast, boundless void. If you look closely, you can vaguely see some spatial cracks resembling folds at the edge of this space. These spatial cracks were clearly left by humans to seal off this space.
Of course, in addition to that, deeper within that void, powerful spatial turbulence coils around this space like venomous snakes, and anyone who steps into it will immediately be swallowed up by those spatial turbulence.
But at this moment, figures were leaping towards the massive building before them. The pained expressions on their faces had vanished, replaced by burning desire as they swiftly flew toward the enormous structure whose doors were already wide open.
"So this is the spatial auction house? It's quite impressive."
The Old Gu building looked quite old; besides the dark and heavy structure itself, a strong sense of vicissitude permeated the space.
Following the crowd that appeared behind him, Xiao Yan leaped forward and flew towards the massive auction house before him.
The interior layout of the auction house was not much different from that of a typical auction house. If there was any difference, it was that the seating arrangement was not as individualized as in ordinary auction houses. Here, whether you were Half-Emperor- Emperor or a Dou Di, you would sit in the same place. Xiao Yan casually found a seat, and the flow of people entering from the outside gradually decreased until finally, the auction house was full, and the flow of people entering the auction house stopped.
In the vast auction hall, Xiao Yan sat amidst the crowd, gazing at the empty crystal platform below the audience seats, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
"Buzzing..."
Suddenly, a buzzing sound came from the quiet stone platform below. At the same time, everyone in the room felt the entire auction hall shake. Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone in the room, the crystal stone platform in the very center of the auction hall began to tremble clearly. At the same time, the height of the entire stone platform also increased.
When the stone platform stopped trembling, everyone on the field breathed a sigh of relief. But the next moment, when they looked up at the center of the stone platform again, they found that a figure had already stood in the very center of the stone platform.
This figure was different from the black-robed figures they had seen outside. Although she was also an old woman, her attire was no different from that of an ordinary old woman. At least compared to those black-robed figures, this old woman was more relatable and less likely to be repulsive.
Of course, besides that, under Xiao Yan's Spiritual Strength probing, this seemingly simple old man's strength was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.
Under Xiao Yan's Spiritual Strength probing, the strength of the old man in front of him was completely beyond Xiao Yan's detection range. The old man's strength was probably at least above the Seven-Star Dou Di!
As for the latter's Spiritual Strength, Xiao Yan did not sense it. However, this does not mean that he does not have it. After all, the strength of the group of black-robed men outside is terrifying. Perhaps this old man does have Spiritual Strength, but it is just too powerful.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel a slight chill. The Western Region were truly a place where dragons and tigers lurked. The so-called Four Great Sects were not the true rulers. The real powerhouses always hid in the world, and even though they were close at hand, they were still impossible to discover.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am the auctioneer for this auction. I wish everyone who has come here today a fruitful day, and that you will all obtain the items you desire!"
The old man's words were rather straightforward, without any beating around the bush or flattery; perhaps those things were simply unnecessary in his eyes.
After a brief exchange of idle chatter, the old man said no more. His rosy, fair hand casually swept across the void in front of him, and a jade box about the size of a palm appeared out of thin air in his hand. Along with it, a surge of energy emanated from the jade box.
"This is the first item up for auction today, the Jade Bone Fruit..."
