Chapter 81: The Auction Begins

Bai Haoyu seemed to have thought of something, and he said to Lin Qingxue and Li Zhe, “Once the auction is over, we’ll immediately go search for the whereabouts of the stone.”

Lin Qingxue couldn’t help but look worried. “I heard Yaochi Holy Land and Dao Seeking Sect will go too. I’m afraid they are also here for that item. I’m afraid that the situation will be bad for us.”

“Master has already instructed us to do our best. No matter what, we have to obtain that item. It’s of great importance.”

On the other side, Ye Xuan rested for a moment and then prepared to go to Jingdu Auction House.

“I heard there will be supreme-grade divine pills and powerful cultivation techniques in this auction.”

“Really? Is the information accurate?”

“The person in charge of the auction house is a relative of my great aunt’s second uncle. There’s no doubt about it.”

“Even the people of the seven great sects have been attracted here. Haven’t you noticed that many strong cultivators have appeared on the streets recently? I think the news should be accurate.”

“If they are the ones who would compete with us, we won’t get an item. I’m not greedy. I’ll be satisfied if I can get a few treasures.”

They were discussing the auction along the way. After listening to a few words, Ye Xuan had some understanding of Jingdu Auction.

Originally, Jingdu Auction would be held at a fixed time every month. This time, it had been delayed for some reason. The news was released in the last few days, catching everyone off guard.

Then, the rumors became more and more exaggerated. There were all kinds of stories, and some were outrageous. Some said that there would be Heaven Realm cultivation techniques. The authenticity of these rumors was questionable.

Although Ye Xuan didn’t know the way to the auction house, he could find it by asking anyone. He looked at the magnificent building in front of him. It covered a vast area and had a total of five floors.

Carved balustrade and jade building brightly lit. Red lanterns exuded a warm light, illuminating the surroundings as if it was daytime. This auction attracted many people. The guests had already gathered before the auction even started.

However, not everyone was allowed to enter. An ordinary invitation card had been raised to 1000 mid-grade spirit stones. Without a strong family background, one couldn’t even enter the auction.

It was worthy of being the biggest auction. Even the servants at the door were earth rank level 5.

Ye Xuan handed over the golden invitation. The servant’s expression changed instantly. The servant thought he was seeing things, but then he said respectfully, “Please wait for a moment.”

Soon, a higher-ranking person came out to welcome Ye Xuan. It was clear that this golden invitation was extraordinary. They received Ye Xuan politely. Looking at his clothes, he must have a high status in the auction.

The man looked at Ye Xuan in shock. He was surprised that someone with such a low cultivation level would have a golden invitation.

This time, they only sent out a dozen golden invitations. The invitations were given to the seven great sects or the powerful reclusive families. They recorded every invitation, and he did not expect to see a golden invitation in Ye Xuan’s hand.

Zhou Zhentian did not make a sound. One must know that the invitation could not be faked, let alone stolen. Treasure Pavilion actually gave such a valuable invitation to Ye Xuan.

“I am Zhou Zhentian, one of the people in charge of the auction. If you have any questions, you can look for me directly.”

Just like Treasure Pavilion, there were a few people in charge of the auction, but the final boss behind the scenes was someone else.

Ye Xuan walked in and found that it was a different world. The venue looked bigger. The stage in the middle was in the shape of a lotus, and the innermost was a giant flower bud. He couldn’t see what was inside, but it was unique and exquisitely designed.

Above the second floor was a private room. The curtains were floating, and the people above could see everything below. However, the people below could not see what was going on above the second floor due to the restriction. It was confidential.

Zhou Zhentian brought Ye Xuan to the fourth floor. The fifth floor was not open to the public. The doors of the private rooms on the fourth floor were all closed, so it was impossible to tell if there were people inside.

“Don’t worry, Sir. Our auction house is very secretive. Outsiders don’t know what’s going on inside. If you have any requests, you can call us.”

Zhou Zhentian was ready to leave after a simple introduction.

There was a hubbub of voices downstairs, and it was very lively. Many people from the sects came. Most of them gathered in the hall, and the strong ones were on the second and third floors. Except for Ye Xuan, the fourth floor was almost full of people from the seven great sects.

“Sigh, there are so many people here this time. You can imagine how fierce the competition is. I wonder if I can get the thing I want.”

“I heard there will be a lot of rare treasures being auctioned this time. The rumors outside are getting more and more incredible.”

“Isn’t that so? We can see many impressive items today.”

Just as the crowd was discussing, the lights suddenly dimmed. The flower bud in the middle of the stage began to tremble slightly, and a ray of light fell in an instant.

The flower buds bloomed layer by layer, looking exquisite and luxurious as if a real lotus was in full bloom. It was so gorgeous that everyone else was stunned.

The complete stage was presented in front of the crowd. The crowd had never seen such a scene before. The applause was like thunder, and the crowd cheered passionately. People were amazed by the performance.

Many foreigners were in the crowd, and they couldn’t help but sigh. “As expected of an auction that shook Jingdu. I’m glad I’m here to see the whole thing.”

“Welcome to Jingdu Auction House. The first item is the Thousand-year Ice Mountain Snow Lotus. The starting price is 500,000 mid-grade spirit stones, and each increment must not be less than 10,000 mid-grade spirit stones.”

On the lotus-shaped tray, a white figure appeared in everyone’s line of sight. The snow-white petals were like snow that would not melt for the rest of the year, looking incredibly pure.
