“Yin…Lie!”
“It’s Yin Lie!”
“Yin Lie from the Yin Yang Holy Land! Didn’t expect even he would come. There must be something he wants in this auction!”
“With Yin Lie here, there will definitely be a remarkable item in the auction.
After all, he was once almost a Holy Son!”
“If not for his age, he would be the Yin Yang Holy Land’s Holy Son by now!”
“This auction is getting interesting!”
The surrounding discussions were endless. However, Yin Lie did not even glance at them, brushing past the girl’s group indifferently and entering the True Treasure Pavilion, leaving behind the gossiping crowd.
“Let’s go in too!” At this moment, the young girl said coldly. As soon as she finished speaking, she strode into the True Treasure Pavilion first.
Their group entering did not attract much attention. After all, their cultivations were not high, and they were no Holy Sons or Holy Maidens of any major forces. With Yin Lie’s arrival, the servants of the True Treasure Pavilion were busy and had no time to receive them. They could only head upstairs themselves.
Upon reaching the top floor, they were stopped by several guards at the stairwell. The reason was simple. Without an invitation, they had no qualifications to enter. The girl stood at the periphery, peering inside. From her position, she could clearly see that Yin Lie, who had just brushed past them, was now sitting in the front row. That was an extremely prestigious seat, and all those seated around Yin Lie had noble statuses. Each was a prodigy of some holy land, and there was no lack of Holy Sons among them.
At this moment, the auction had already begun. The first item was a low-grade Dao weapon, eventually selling for 100,000 supreme-grade spirit stones, which was undoubtedly a sky-high price, more than what many present could afford. The second item was a heaven-level upper-rank divine power, instantly bringing the atmosphere to a fever pitch. Many major forces vied to participate, and it finally sold for one million supreme-grade spirit stones.
The third item was a fist-sized stone suffused with seven-colored divine light, like a piece of divine gold. Endless laws were engraved upon it, giving off scorching heat. “This is a Seven-Colored Divine Stone!” The girl’s eyes lit up brightly. Aside from her, everyone who saw this stone was awestruck. Faced with this stone, their eyes burned with intense desire, wishing they could claim it as their own immediately. The entire top floor of the True Treasure Pavilion was in an uproar over this stone. If not for being in the Holy City, many cultivators would have already started fighting. After all, this was a saint-level material, extraordinarily precious and rarely glimpsed by ordinary people.
“This auction by the True Treasure Pavilion is indeed extraordinary!”
“That’s right! Not only a sacred medicine like the blood fruit but now even a saint-level material!”
“And this is only the third item. Who knows what else is coming.”
The blue-robed man could not stop praising it. He looked at the storage ring on his hand and exchanged glances with the others. “Miss Huo, do you want this stone?” he asked. “If you like it, 1 can help you bid.”
However, before the girl could even respond, the elder conducting the auction in the center had already spoken. “The Seven-Colored Divine Stone starts at one million supreme-grade spirit stones!” He wasted no time and directly announced the reserve price, as those present today were all of esteemed status, their knowledge profound. They all knew the stone’s value, so starting high saved explanation time.
“One million supreme-grade spirit stones…” The young girl pursed her red lips, looking conflicted. She did have ample spirit stones from killing many young Eastern Barrens’ prodigies, including some princes of the Golden Crow Clan. But the problem was, one million spirit stones was only the opening bid. There was no telling how high the final price might go. If she participated in the bid for the Seven-Colored Divine Stone, she might fail to obtain the upcoming blood fruit.
Yet just as she hesitated, the blue-robed man beside her had already called out, “1.3 million supreme-grade spirit stones!” As these words were spoken, the auction hall suddenly fell silent. Everyone turned their heads to look at him. But when they saw that the speaker was just sitting in the hall, the crowd was even more shocked.
Logically speaking, anyone who could afford millions in spirit stones should be in the VIP section. But the reality was quite different. He was not sitting in the VIP section; instead, in the hall.
“Who is this person?”
“His strength seems decent, a Spirit Sea Realm cultivator? Must be some sect’s core disciple.”
“Hard to say, he looks unfamiliar. Perhaps he came from elsewhere?”
“They seem to be together. Their clothing doesn’t match those from around here. For people like them to have no elders accompanying them…”
“Clearly inexperienced!”
“Hehe, they truly don’t understand concealed wealth! Daring to bid on a Seven-Colored Divine Stone without an elder, aren’t they afraid of losing it?”
The blue-robed man maintained his smile, basking in the attention as if he were commanding the room. Just as he believed the stone would fall to him, a light voice rang out from the front row of VIPs.
“Two million!”
“Hmm?”
The blue-robed man’s expression froze as he frowned slightly, glancing in the voice’s direction. There, a golden-haired man sat indifferently.
“The Golden Crow Clan!” The girl’s heart sank. An ominous feeling arose within her, not because of the Seven-Colored Divine Stone, but the blood fruit! After all, her grudge with the Golden Crow Clan ran deep. Since they would interfere with her bid for the Seven-Colored Divine Stone, they would certainly not let her obtain the blood fruit either, even intentionally driving up the price.
“Huo Xi, we meet again!” The man from the Golden Crow Clan slowly turned, golden eyes filled with killing intent like comets. His long golden hair billowed like a demon god, striking fear into all who saw him. Killing intent permeated the auction hall, plunging it into icy horror. If not for being in the Holy City, this Golden Crow Clan prince might have attacked directly.
“With me here today, Huo Xi, you will obtain nothing! Hehe… A physique abandoned by the Heavenly Dao is destined to never become a Nirvana Realm expert.. I wonder, can you withstand a Quasi-Saint Realm powerhouse?”
