In the first auction, the Jade Bone Fruit was successfully auctioned off for a high price of three million Spirit Coin. This was undoubtedly a great start for the Spatial Auction. As the old man on the auction stage smiled broadly, one valuable item after another appeared in his hands. Various Cultivation Methods and Combat Skills emerged one after another. The old man was like a treasure trove, as if the treasures in his hands were inexhaustible.

Of course, with the successful auction of the first item, the atmosphere in the room gradually heated up. The old man on the auction stage seized the opportunity and successively brought out other items for auction. These items, also due to their considerable value and the old man's deliberate encouragement and hype, caused a frenzy of bidding among the crowd. One shout after another rang out in the auction room. Accompanied by the old man's gradually widening smile, these items eventually sold for a good price.

However, it must be said that the reason these auction items were able to fetch such high prices was not by chance. Judging from the quality of these auction items, this was definitely the most precious they had seen in Xiao Yan years. Of course, this preciousness was only from the perspective of the general public. The things that could truly move Xiao Yan and the Dou Di powerhouses on the stage had not yet appeared.

As time slowly passed, the auction, amidst this heated atmosphere, had already lasted for several hours. Meanwhile, the quality of the auction items appearing in the auction hall was getting higher and higher, and the atmosphere within the auction hall was becoming increasingly exciting.

By the time the auction had lasted a full day, some of the items were already attracting bids from the Dou Di experts present. Some of them even tempted Xiao Yan to place a bid. However, after weighing the options, Xiao Yan decided against it, believing it was best to choose items that suited his own needs.

As the Dou Di experts on the stage vied for the bids, the atmosphere in the auction hall became increasingly heated. Since many of the forces participating in this auction were from under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Sword Sect, most of them were not on good terms due to their respective interests. In fact, some of the more hostile forces would fight tooth and nail when they clashed, displaying an unwavering determination to crush their opponent. This made many people secretly marvel at the strength of the Heavenly Sword Sect. Compared to the ordinary forces present, their wealth and power were something they could not easily achieve!

As for those who were green with envy over this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but chuckle. He leaned back lazily in his chair, extended a finger, and gently tapped the armrest.

Under Xiao Yan's watchful gaze, as if watching a show, the old man on the auction stage waved his sleeve, and with a flash of light, another jade box appeared before the eyes of everyone present.

The moment the jade box appeared, an extremely strong aura of bloodlust surged out from it, condensing into a thin layer of red mist in the void around the jade box. If you smelled it closely, you could even detect a faint bloody scent.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the item to be auctioned next is a Magic Core."

On the auction stage, the old man slowly uttered a sentence.

Upon hearing this, everyone on the stage immediately turned their gaze to the jade box in the old man's hand, a hint of suspicion appearing in their eyes. At an auction of this caliber, for this old man to actually produce a Magic Core seemed far too casual.

It should be noted that on this Origin Martial Continent, the Magic Core of ordinary low-level magical beasts are no longer of any interest to anyone except ordinary powerhouses below the level of Half-Emperor. After all, with the increase in strength, the Magic Core of low-level magical beasts have long lost all value to Half-Emperor.

As for the Magic Core of high-level magical beasts, although they are precious, they are very difficult to obtain. Not to mention how difficult it is to kill a high-level magical beast, even if you have the ability to kill it, these magical beasts will usually risk their lives to self-destruct their Magic Core at the last moment in order to achieve the goal of taking the enemy down with them.

For this reason, high-level Magic Core that can actually be auctioned on the mainland are extremely rare. After all, even humans are unwilling to easily become enemies with those powerful magical beasts.

The strong have their own rules, which they may not be willing to follow at first, but as time goes by, they naturally understand each other better. No one wants to cause trouble, so truly powerful magical beasts are less likely to die or be injured. This also means that the Magic Core of high-level magical beasts are extremely rare.

"You all heard me correctly, this round of auction items is a Magic Core."

The old man spoke again, his tone firm as he confirmed the answer that had been lingering in the minds of everyone present.

As the old man finished speaking, the expressions of everyone on the stage changed slightly. At that moment, Bai Ying, whose family was located at the Bai Clan and Huo Clan ' location, instantly locked his gaze on the jade box in the old man's hand below the stage, and a fiery light appeared in his eyes. As for Bai Zhan, who was standing to the side, although his emotions were also fluctuating, his face was indifferent at this moment.

On the other side, Huo Ting and Huo Yuning of the Huo Clan also showed expressions of surprise and joy. Others might not know, but they knew that this was what they had been waiting for all this time, and now, it had finally arrived!

On the stone platform, the old man flicked his finger, and a stream of light shot out from his fingertip, lifting the jade box without shattering it.

The lid of the jade box flew into the air, revealing a scarlet bead the size of a fist inside.

This bead is a Magic Core.

The instant the golden-red Magic Core was exposed to the air, a violent energy rose from it almost uncontrollably, and a scarlet blood mist spread out like smoke, condensing into a blurry demonic beast in the air in front of the old man.

"Roar!"

A low, guttural roar emanated from within the blood mist. Although everyone present knew that the beast's true form was already dead, upon hearing this roar, most of them couldn't help but tremble slightly. Immediately afterward, a sense of horror arose in their hearts.

What they see before them now is nothing more than the Magic Core of this magical beast. It has no intelligence and is at most just a stone containing violent energy. Yet, this Magic Core can still release such domineering power. It is hard to imagine how terrifying this magical beast must have been in its lifetime!

"You beast, now that you are dead, you are nothing but a wisp of remnant breath, yet you dare to act so arrogantly here! Break!"

The appearance of this scene did not cause much of a change in the old man's expression, as if it was all expected. As the blood mist condensed, the old man waved his sleeve, and his powerful Dou Qi surged out, enveloping the blood mist in an overwhelming manner.

Immediately after the blood mist was enveloped by Dou Qi, the old man twisted his wrist and clenched his fist. The blood mist, which was enveloped by Dou Qi, exploded with a bang and gradually dissipated in the void.

Upon seeing this scene, the expressions on the faces of the people on the platform changed, and a look of horror unconsciously welled up in their eyes as they looked at the old man on the stone platform. The demonic beast was already so powerful, but from this moment on, this old man seemed to be even more terrifying!

"As you all have seen, although this beast is dead, it still possesses the power to fight back. This is because, in its lifetime, this beast's strength had already reached the level of Five-Star Dou Di in human form!"

"Whoosh!"

The old man's words shocked everyone present. Although they knew that this magical beast was powerful in its lifetime, they could only confirm that it was a Dou Di- level magical beast at most. But they never expected that this guy's strength had actually reached the level of Five-Star Dou Di!

On the stands, Xiao Yan, who was lounging lazily in the backrest, suddenly raised his eyes and his gaze fell on the perfectly round, fist-sized scarlet Magic Core. A look of surprise appeared in his eyes as well. He hadn't expected that this Magic Core Magic Core would actually belong to a Five-Star Dou Di.

On the other two sides, the Bai Clan family and the Huo Clan were also staring intently at the Magic Core. Although they already had the answer in their hearts, they couldn't help but feel even more excited and surprised when they heard the old man say it himself.

Xiao Yan Xiao Yan was naturally observing the situation of these two families at all times, and soon he had a general understanding of their purpose for this trip.

I wouldn't dare say everything, but at least, the Magic Core of this Five-Star Dou Di level magical beast was definitely part of their plan for this trip.

"Um?"

He had been staring excitedly at Bai Ying, who had no Magic Core, but suddenly frowned and his gaze shifted, scanning the stands. Just now, he had seen that same look again, and he had sensed that aura once more.

Who exactly is he?

Bai Ying was secretly shocked. He took a deep breath and was about to look away when his expression suddenly sharpened. He looked up again and saw Huo Ting of the Huo Clan staring at him with wide eyes. Just now, he had also sensed an unusual aura, and he believed without hesitation that the aura originated from the Bai Clan.

The two looked at each other from a distance, separated by an auction house, but then they both frowned, because they also realized that the mysterious aura did not come from the other.
