" Saint Class cultivation technique!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of those present changed drastically. Some were even stunned by the words, while others looked around suspiciously, as if they doubted their ears and were afraid of being ridiculed.
However, whether these people looked around in disbelief or were filled with shock, when they turned their gaze back to the old man in the auction house, their answer was confirmed.
At this moment, the old man held a jet-black scroll in one hand, placing it above his palm. His old eyes were calm and composed, and his cloudy old eyes once again swept across the entire scene.
"Everyone, you heard right. The last and most important item is this Saint Class cultivation technique!"
"Whoosh!"
Upon hearing the old man's confirmation, those present finally stopped doubting, and a clamor immediately erupted in the auction hall, so loud it seemed as if the roof of the entire auction hall would be blown off.
" Saint Class cultivation technique?!"
"Is it really Saint Class cultivation technique?!"
"I never imagined that Saint Class cultivation technique would emerge in the Western Region!"
In an instant, voices filled with shock and horror echoed throughout the auction hall.
Saint Class cultivation techniques are the most advanced and super-powerful techniques among all cultivation techniques. Apart from forbidden Saint Class techniques, no other cultivation technique can compare to them.
Saint Class cultivation techniques are extremely rare, even on the entire Origin Martial Continent. In fact, there has never been a rumor of Saint Class cultivation technique appearing anywhere in the last few hundred years. This alone is enough to illustrate how rare Saint Class cultivation techniques are.
Right now, in the Western Region, the most barren place on the entire continent, Saint Class cultivation technique has actually appeared, which is hard to believe.
Some people don't believe it, but others do, such as the Bai Clan father and son and the Huo Clan. From the very beginning, these two families came for this Saint Class cultivation technique. Now that the technique has appeared, they are naturally overjoyed.
"This is Saint Class cultivation technique!"
Huo Ting and Huo Yuning stared intently at the ancient black scroll in front of the old man, their breathing becoming slightly rapid.
Saint Class cultivation techniques—not to mention the Huo Clan, no other force in the entire Western Region could possibly possess them. Yet now, such techniques had appeared before their very eyes. If they could obtain them, their family would undergo a qualitative change, and they might even be able to create the Saint Class power in the Western Region!
Of course, the Huo Clan and Bai Clan hadn't thought of this yet; what they hoped for was to obtain this Saint Class cultivation technique first!
Compared to anything auctioned before, the value of this Saint Class cultivation technique alone is enough to crush all the previous items!
Even the Bai Clan father and son, who had been calm on the surface, couldn't help but show a hint of excitement on their faces.
It's easy to imagine how immense the surprise this Saint Class cultivation technique brought them!
On the high platform, Xiao Yan gazed down, his eyes immediately locking onto the black scroll, a hint of surprise flashing across his eyes.
" Saint Class cultivation technique? How could Saint Class cultivation technique appear in such a barren land as the Western Region?"
Unlike the other two families, Xiao Yan felt a sense of doubt. Everyone on the continent knew how precious Saint Class cultivation technique was. Who would be willing to auction it off if they could get their hands on it? Even if the attributes of the technique were different from their own cultivation attributes, it could be left for future generations. In Xiao Yan's opinion, no one would be foolish enough to auction off Saint Class cultivation technique unless they didn't even care about Saint Class techniques!
But that's absolutely impossible!
Even if the owner of this cultivation technique possessed a far more profound technique, and even if he were incredibly powerful, he would never so easily put Saint Class cultivation technique up for auction. Xiao Yan would never believe there wasn't something fishy going on.
And at that very moment, the old man in the center of the auction stage spoke again.
"Ladies and gentlemen, before the auction begins, there is one more thing I need to clarify."
The old man spoke, and everyone in the room immediately turned their attention to him. Every word he uttered was related to Saint Class cultivation techniques, so no one dared to miss a word he said, not even the members of the two great families.
Seeing the gazes directed at him from all sides, the old man nodded slightly, slowly extended two fingers, pointed to the black scroll floating in mid-air in front of him, and gently moved his fingers left and right twice. Then, everyone present saw the black scroll slowly open under the old man's deliberate control.
"Gentlemen, this cultivation technique is indeed a Saint Class technique. Moreover, according to our auction house's research, this technique is a mid- Saint Class- level technique. However, what we have in our possession is merely a fragment."
The old man spoke solemnly, and at the same time, the pitch-black scroll in front of him slowly opened. However, what appeared before everyone's eyes was not a complete piece of content.
In the auction hall, everyone stared intently. Inside the black scroll was still a piece of black parchment. Only after the scroll was fully opened did everyone see that a small piece of bronze-colored parchment, about the size of a palm, was tightly attached to the black scroll and stored in one corner of the scroll.
From this perspective, it is immediately apparent that the scroll is indeed just a fragment.
"A fragment?!"
This scene caused many people present to be stunned for a moment. The Huo Clan and Bai Clan families also showed a look of disappointment on their faces. They only knew the words "Saint Class technique" when it came to this scroll of Saint Class cultivation technique, but they did not expect that this scroll of cultivation technique was just a fragment.
Even if you got your hands on a mere fragment, what use would it be? At most, you could just display it and look at it. To gain any enlightenment from it would be extremely difficult.
Upon realizing this, the Bai Clan and Huo Clan, who had been filled with excitement, immediately lost interest in this Saint Class cultivation technique.
"Damn it! This Spatial Auction dares to cheat our Huo Clan! This so-called Saint Class cultivation technique is nothing but a fragment, a worthless piece of junk!"
Huo Yuning her teeth, her brows furrowed deeply like a rope, and her eyes held a hint of anger.
"Well, it's not that they lied to us. The cultivation technique is indeed Saint Class technique. It's just that we didn't expect it to be only a fragment. Greed knows no bounds. They knew we would lose our composure because of the Saint Class technique and become reckless. We can't entirely blame them. It's just a pity that we should have paid a price earlier to get that Magic Core!"
At this moment, Huo Ting couldn't help but feel a little resentful, but it was too late to be angry now. Thinking back to the Magic Core from before, he felt even angrier. In the end, they hadn't gotten anything at all. This trip to the Spatial Auction was a complete waste!
"No, returning empty-handed will surely anger the patriarch. Even if we can't obtain the complete Saint Class cultivation technique, bringing back this fragment will at least be enough to fulfill our mission!"
Thinking this to himself, Huo Ting raised his gaze to the old man on the auction stage below, cupped his hands in greeting, and slowly said:
"Please name your bid, senior."
Upon hearing this, everyone present was immediately astonished. It was merely a fragment of a scroll; without obtaining the complete cultivation technique, even if they bought it, it would be of no use. They never expected that the Huo family would actually want to auction it off. Had they made a mistake?
The Bai Clan father and son frowned slightly. Now that they knew it was a fragment, they naturally lost interest. What surprised them was that the Huo Clan still wouldn't let go. But after a moment's thought, Bai Ying understood.
"Want to take it back to report? Then take it."
Bai Ying sneered inwardly, then turned his gaze back to the scroll, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes.
"What a pity, it's just a fragment. If it were complete, then in the future..."
On the auction stage, the old man was slightly surprised to hear Huo Ting's words. He had thought that no one would bid again, but Huo Ting had unexpectedly spoken up at this moment.
The old man's eyes flickered slightly. The reason Huo Ting spoke up was nothing more than two things: first, to take it back as a mere formality; and second, because the Huo Clan possessed something related to the fragments of the Saint Class cultivation technique on this scroll.
"Could it be...?"
The old man narrowed his eyes, and in a flash, a thousand thoughts flashed through his mind, but in the end, he still shook his head.
Whether it exists or not, that's not something he should be worrying about right now. He's the person in charge of the auction house, and after so many years of auctions, he's handled at least eight or ten thousand items. All he knows is that his job is to successfully auction off the items in his possession.
The old man took a deep breath, calmed himself, and then slowly raised his head. A smile appeared on his aged face as he faced Huo Ting and said slowly:
"Because this Saint Class cultivation technique is only a fragment, its value has been greatly reduced. Therefore, our auction house has decided to set the starting price for this fragment at fifty Spirit Stone, with each bid increment not less than ten Spirit Stone."
Upon hearing this, many people present changed their expressions immediately. Fifty Spirit Stone Spirit Stone was merely the price of this Saint Class cultivation technique fragment, and at the same time, it was also the highest price ever paid in the entire auction.
Even a mere fragment is worth fifty Spirit Stone; it's unimaginable how precious a complete Saint Class cultivation technique would be!
Of course, these people didn't give it much thought, because they didn't realize that true Saint Class cultivation techniques cannot be valued by price. Even a single scroll of the lowest-level Saint Class cultivation technique can create countless powerful individuals. How could this be easily measured by Spirit Stone?
"Alright, fifty Spirit Stone Spirit Stone it is!"
Huo Ting's face darkened slightly. Despite his displeasure, he gritted his teeth and spoke.
On the other side, Bai Ying of the Bai Clan frowned slightly upon seeing this, a strange smile appearing on his lips. Just as he was about to speak, a voice suddenly came from another part of the platform.
I'll offer sixty Spirit Stone.
