Chapter 66 Auction
Chapter 66 Auction
Fengle Auction House!
With the spirit stone paving the way, Xiao Wuji easily got a VIP seat and was led to a private room by the auction house staff.
The box was surrounded by walls, which were covered with prohibitions. This was a form of protection for the VIPs in the box, but also a restriction. If some people with bad intentions wanted to take the auction items, they would be making a big mistake.
The wall near the auction table in the box is made of a special crystal. Under the effect of the ban, everything on the auction table can be seen clearly from inside, but it can only be seen blurry from the outside. This method effectively protects personal privacy.
However, there are also people who disdain to use such means. For example, the three Nascent Soul cultivators who did not even sit in the box had one thing in common, that is, they were all wearing the same moon-white robes.
Xiao Wuji had only seen this kind of robe on one person, and that was the Nascent Soul cultivator who bought the Three-Pattern Green Spirit Pill from him. Although there were very slight differences between the two, they were undoubtedly the same style.
It can be seen from this that these three Nascent Soul cultivators are all from the Star Palace, and they are buying things on their own territory, so naturally they are not worried about being robbed along the way.
The people at Fengle Auction House also believed that Xinggong would not destroy its reputation just for a few auction items.
Because this was a large-scale auction that was held only once every fifty years, the news about the auction items had been released two years ago, attracting nearly twenty Nascent Soul cultivators, and countless more cultivators who had reached the Perfect Core stage.
The items that can be auctioned once every fifty years are extremely rare. Things like magic tools are not qualified to be auctioned at all. Ordinary sixth-level demon pills seem not good enough.
It was three full days after Xiao Wuji entered the box that the auction officially began.
An old man with a staggering gait slowly walked to the stage and stopped in the middle. He looked around and then said with a folded hand:
"Thank you all for your kindness in participating in this auction. I will host the next auction!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the surroundings became strangely quiet, without any objection. Even the three Nascent Soul cultivators from the Star Palace sat up straight, because this guy who looked old was actually a Nascent Soul mid-stage cultivator, and he seemed to be quite famous.
In this extremely abnormal environment, a maid in the Foundation Establishment Stage, wearing a red cheongsam, came forward with a tray.
The first auction item is usually used to warm up the crowd, so the items taken out would not be too bad. However, the fact that they directly took out an ancient treasure still made Xiao Wuji marvel at the generosity of Fengle Auction House.
"A set of exquisite ancient treasures, the Qingmu Magic Needle, the starting price is 100,000 spirit stones, and each bid increase must not be less than 5,000 spirit stones."
"One hundred and thirty thousand spiritual stones!"
"One hundred and sixty thousand spirit stones!"
As soon as the old man finished speaking, the auctioneers began to shout bids one after another. A complete set of ancient treasures was a priceless existence, and even a Nascent Soul cultivator would greatly increase his combat power if he obtained it.
As expected, this ancient treasure, the Green Wood Divine Needle, was eventually auctioned off by a Nascent Soul cultivator sitting in a private room at a high price of 450,000 spirit stones.
During the next three days, treasures that made Xiao Wuji envious were auctioned off one after another, but Xiao Wuji did not bid once. Although the items were good, they were not necessities, and he did not have so many spirit stones to waste.
"The items that will be auctioned next will be the last five items of this auction."
As soon as the old man finished speaking, a circle of restrictions rose above the auction table to protect it.
But Xiao Wuji thought this was unnecessary. Who else would dare to rob in Tianxing City under the noses of the Tianxing Twin Saints?
"A handful of star sand, the starting price is 600,000 spirit stones, and each bid increase must not be less than 10,000 spirit stones!"
When the Star Sand appeared, Xiao Wuji also perked up. Although he had enough spirit stones, the Nascent Soul cultivators sitting below were not vegetarians. The goal of the people of the Star Palace was as clear as Xiao Wuji's, that is, they came for the Star Sand. The Star Sand was also something that the Star Palace was determined to obtain.
Xinggong Xinggong, since it is named after stars, how could it be without star-related magical powers and magic weapons? It is just that due to the rarity of star sand, there are very few people who practice this kind of skills.
"Eight hundred thousand spirit stones!"
"Eight hundred and fifty thousand!"
"Nine hundred and fifty thousand spirit stones!"
The Xing Palace cultivators were not of one mind, which was good news for Xiao Wuji. It seemed that he could save some spirit stones.
The three cultivators from the Star Palace raised the price of the star sand all the way up to 1.2 million spirit stones, and then the trend began to slow down.
"One million and two hundred thousand times!"
"Twice a million and two hundred thousand!"
Seeing that the item was about to be sold, Xiao Wuji also hurriedly offered a price: "Two million!"
When this price was announced, both the smug Xinggong monk and the old man who was presiding over the auction were stunned.
One million and two hundred thousand was already an extremely high price for such a small handful of star sand, and two million spirit stones was an unimaginable high price.
"Two million spirit stones at a time!"
"Two million spirit stones twice!"
"Two million spirit stones three times!"
"make a deal!"
After hearing that no one was bidding against him, Xiao Wuji was relieved. He thought that there should be a lot of star sand in this auction, so he prepared a huge sum of 8 million spirit stones, but these star sands were only enough to refine a simplified formation. 2 million spirit stones was already a high price!
Before the second finale was sent to the auction table, someone knocked on Xiao Wuji's door and made an offer with him. It seemed that they were a little afraid that Xiao Wuji would not be able to come up with such a large amount of spirit stones.
After all, such a large amount of spirit stones is enough to bankrupt a Nascent Soul cultivator, not to mention that Xiao Wuji is only a late Jindan cultivator, so naturally some people will doubt his financial resources.
Then, in front of the man's incredulous gaze, Xiao Wuji took out two storage bags full of intermediate-level spirit stones and handed them over.
After the man checked everything suspiciously, he handed the star sand to Xiao Wuji in shock.
Looking at the fifty or sixty grains of star sand in front of him, Xiao Wuji suddenly looked worried.
"This handful is calculated with a baby's hand!"
