Auction

The atmosphere in the room was quiet for a moment. Then, when Lü Zhongtian took out the next item for auction, the atmosphere, which had been slightly subdued by the appearance of the Long Lin Fruit, was quickly revived. Especially after Lü Zhongtian's seemingly enthusiastic introduction, the price of the item soared rapidly. In no time, the atmosphere in the auction room became lively again, even more so than before.

Lü Zhongtian was naturally overjoyed by all these changes, especially when he saw the fierce bidding and open competition on the field. His smile became even brighter. As the auction continued, he would occasionally glance at Xiao Yan's private room. After all, Xiao Yan had just made a move and produced ten bottles of Ice Spirit Cold Liquid. Such a gesture was unprecedented in many years, and how could he easily fall behind?

Unfortunately, after the auction of the Long Lin Fruit, although the atmosphere in the room was extremely lively, the forces in those private rooms did not make any further moves, which made Lü Zhongtian feel a little regretful.

Of course, not making a move doesn't mean these people aren't interested in anything at the auction; they're simply waiting. They're auctioning truly high-end items, so even if they encounter something that excites them during the auction, they suppress their excitement and wait patiently.

And in this tedious wait, time slipped away unnoticed.

As time went on, the atmosphere in the auction house became increasingly heated. By this point, the items up for auction could be considered extremely valuable high-end items. Even though the auction prices were astronomical for most people, the calls for bids still rang out one after another.

Drawn by the treasures, these people have become engrossed in the auction, unable to extricate themselves, seemingly determined not to stop until they have exhausted all their wealth.

Inside the private room, after auctioning the Long Lin Fruit, Xiao Yan Xiao Yan hardly made any further bids. Occasionally, he would bid on a few rare medicinal herbs, and although they were expensive, no one would raise the price after he made a move. This saved Xiao Yan a lot of trouble. Therefore, by the time he had five Xiao Yan -grade medicinal herbs in his Storage Ring, he had only spent less than a thousand Spirit Stone. Normally, this would be considered a huge profit.

As the dazzling array of auction items were displayed one by one, even Xiao Yan couldn't help but be tempted. Several times, he was so excited that he almost couldn't resist making a purchase, but in the end, he was suppressed by his own willpower.

Originally, Xiao Yan's purpose in attending this auction was merely to obtain the Fusang Flower, but he never expected that there would be so many surprises at the auction. It has to be said that this trip to Golden Radiance City was definitely worthwhile!

Meanwhile, after witnessing the grandeur of the auction, Xiao Yan couldn't help but think of the Origin Return Mantra in his Storage Ring. Wasn't that something he obtained at the auction? He wondered if he would have the same luck this time. If he could find another fragment of the scroll, it would undoubtedly be of great benefit to Xiao Xuan.

However, although Xiao Yan's idea was quite wonderful, fate was always unkind, or perhaps Xiao Yan was too greedy, so in the end, he did not see anything that resembled the Origin Return Mantra.

In the end, Xiao Yan could only sigh helplessly in his heart. He knew that the Origin Return Mantra Technique was not something that could be found in a short time. It required careful planning. If he had the opportunity, he would naturally be able to obtain it. If not, he could only leave it to fate.

Fortunately, Xiao Yan is not entirely clueless about the Origin Return Mantra. There happens to be a scroll in the Heavenly Severing Ancient Tomb. If he could obtain it, it would be a significant help to Xiao Xuan.

As for the rest, the Origin Martial Continent is vast and boundless. How could the fragments of the Origin Return Mantra only exist in the Western Region? After all, this was once a powerful and famous technique. Countless people on the continent want to collect it all. To find the remaining fragments of the Origin Return Mantra, one must leave the Western Region. Only by broadening one's horizons can one have a greater chance of collecting the Origin Return Mantra.

"Perhaps it's time to leave the Western Region..."

With a soft sigh, Xiao Yan slowly clenched his fist.

A strong person's vision cannot be limited by anything. The Western Region are merely a stop on his path to becoming a true strongman. The continent is vast, and there are many places he hasn't been to, many secrets he hasn't yet learned. Only a place where true strongmen gather can be the stage for his growth. Moreover, with Xun'er's whereabouts unknown, the only thing Xiao Yan can be certain of is that those inhuman creatures are definitely members of the Hun Clan, and their purpose is probably the same as that of the Hun Tiandi back then—to seek the Tou She Ancient God.

To rescue Xun'er, he must confront the people of the Ghost Hall. To face them, Xiao Yan must first possess immense power!

With this thought in mind, Xiao Yan clenched his fists even tighter beneath his sleeves, and deep within his heart, boundless killing intent surged wildly...

Nine hundred and eighty Spirit Stone!

Suddenly, a loud shout came from the auction stage, bringing Xiao Yan back to his senses. He looked up and saw that the Spirit Class Dou Technique that had just been auctioned had been successfully sold, and the price was ridiculously high. However, after thinking about it, Xiao Yan felt relieved.

As Dou Di experts, these individuals have already cultivated techniques perfectly suited to their own abilities. The two are inextricably linked, making ordinary techniques unappealing to them. Generally, even if someone auctions off a technique, it's merely for the benefit of future generations. However, Dou Technique are different. In battle, different Dou Technique have different attributes, resulting in varying degrees of power. If one could obtain a powerful Dou Technique that suits them and combine it with their cultivation method, the power would naturally increase exponentially. This is why Dou Technique are the most frequently auctioned items in high-level auction houses, while high-level cultivation methods are less common.

Immediately after the Intermediate Spirit Class Dou Technique was successfully auctioned off by someone in the private room, Lü Zhongtian smiled and took out another scroll.

"Hehe, as you can see, the next item up for auction is called the Wasteland-Spanning Finger,' which is also a Dou Technique, and a High Spirit Class Dou Technique at that. However, unlike the previous Dou Technique, once you master this technique, its power will rival that of Low Intent Grade Dou Technique, and this is all without consuming your Spiritual Strength."
