In the vast auction hall, everyone's eyes were fixed on the middle-aged man the moment he appeared, especially in the VIP boxes, where the people there looked at Lü Zhongtian with deep apprehension.
At this moment, when everyone present heard the name Lü Zhongtian, even those from forces who had never seen him before couldn't help but show expressions of fear. Clearly, although Lü Zhongtian was not physically present, his name had resounded Western Region.
Lü Zhongtian is a terrifying figure who, based solely on his strength, could break into the top three in the Western Region!
Upon hearing the latter's name, even Xiao Yan, who was inside the private room, couldn't help but show a look of shock on his face. Clearly, he had also heard of the latter's reputation.
Although this man's strength has not yet broken through to the Origin Transformation Realm, his cultivation as a Nine-Star Dou Di has already reached its peak. He is only one step away from the Origin Transformation Realm.
"Hehe, everyone, I won't waste time with unnecessary pleasantries. I know you're all here for the auction. In that case, as the chairman, I can only wish you all the best in acquiring the items you desire. Also, please abide by the auction rules: no one is allowed to make physical contact within the auction hall. If anyone does, I will forcibly remove you from the auction hall, and you will also lose your bidding privileges. Regardless of what items you have already won, we will take them all back!"
Although he said it with a smile, Lü Zhongtian's words made most of the people present turn pale. Even those in the private rooms dared not easily let his words pass through their minds.
Seeing the look of apprehension on the faces of everyone present, Lü Zhongtian smiled with satisfaction. Then, he clapped his hands lightly, creating a loud echo in the silent auction hall. Afterward, a tall maidservant respectfully stepped forward and handed a tray to Lü Zhongtian.
The void twisted again, and a floating auction platform appeared. After the maid carefully placed the tray on it, she withdrew. Then, Lü Zhongtian's gaze swept across the entire room, a smile on his lips, and he appeared refined. Who could tell that this was a great figure who could shake the entire Western Region with a stomp of his foot?
"Hehe, the first item up for auction is a dagger called Edgeless. It is made of Blood Dragon Wood, making it incredibly hard and extremely bloodthirsty. Because it contains the Magic Core of a Four-Star Dou Di demonic beast, it also has the ability to pierce through Dou Qi. In addition, it also has a certain degree of toxicity."
After a brief introduction, Lü Zhongtian took out a pre-prepared Tier 3 defensive Formation Plate and activated it.
"As you can see, this Formation Plate is a low-level third-tier Formation Plate, which can generally withstand a full-force attack from a Two-Star Dou Di."
He said it casually, and then, without using any Dou Qi, Lü Zhongtian picked up the dagger in front of him and plunged it heavily into the formation in front of him.
"Bang!"
However, the formation only lasted for less than a moment before it suddenly shattered. The entire audience gasped in shock. Formation Plate capable of withstanding the full force of a Two-Star Dou Di's attack was so easily pierced by this " Edgeless " dagger, and this was without any Dou Qi enhancement. It was unimaginable how sharp this dagger would have been with the addition of Dou Qi!
In an instant, everyone present turned their gazes toward the " Edgeless " weapon with intense interest.
While not all those present were necessarily skilled dagger users, each of their respective factions must have some kind of strong individual. Anyone who could bring back this " Edgeless " dagger would undoubtedly add considerable strength to their faction, which was naturally something they were eager to acquire.
As for Xiao Yan inside the private room, he was already used to the giant ruler's size and wide-ranging moves, and he had no interest in this tricky and small weapon.
" Edgeless, starting price is eighty Low-Grade Spirit Stone."
"Whoosh!"
Although Edgeless's abilities captivated everyone present, the price deterred many from even considering it.
Of course, among those present were also powerful individuals who wielded daggers. Before long, a series of bidding shouts rang out in the arena. In the end, even some forces that had originally planned to give up on the auction participated. Finally, the " Edgeless " dagger was successfully auctioned off for 470 Spirit Stone, making Lü Zhongtian's smile on the auction stage even wider.
Riding the wave of this brief surge of enthusiasm, Lü Zhongtian struck while the iron was hot. Within just two hours, several more valuable items were successfully auctioned off, with prices that made Lü Zhongtian beam with delight. At the same time, even Xiao Yan, who was currently in a private room, couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement. These forces were indeed as Qin Yun had said—they were all incredibly wealthy. In just two hours, the flow of Low-Grade Spirit Stone alone had reached nearly two thousand. With such resources, it was no wonder they could compete with the top five hundred forces in the Western Region.
Looking back now, those so-called Four Great Sects really were nothing at all.
There are no fewer than five Eight-Star Dou Di in the auction house right now, and there are also four Nine-Star Dou Di. Such a force can easily leave the so-called Four Great Sects behind.
Indeed, the tigers that truly bite are those that seem quiet, lying idly by, ignoring you. If you dare to underestimate them, no one knows when they might suddenly launch a fatal attack.
With this in mind, Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes and pondered to himself.
Time flowed by amidst the heated auction, unnoticed and unmeasured, yet everyone knew that the auction was reaching one climax after another, each item more attractive than the last, naturally driving up the prices to exorbitant levels.
At a certain moment, Lü Zhongtian opened a tray again. This time, what appeared before everyone was a fruit that was entirely blood red. What was most strange was that the surface of this fruit was covered with a layer of mysterious scales, like snake scales, but different from them.
However, the moment the fruit came into Xiao Yan's view, a look of surprise suddenly surged in his dark eyes, and his hands involuntarily gripped the armrests. His emotions suddenly became excited.
