Elder Hu looked to be around sixty to seventy years old. As for his actual age, it was around three hundred. His head of white hair was mixed with a few strands of black hair.
Inside room number twenty-two on the second floor, Ye Xiao's expression remained calm. "So it's this person. "
The information he got from the maid not only contained the competitors he needed to be wary of this time, but also some information related to the Sacred Pavilion.
Of course, this information was basically known by outsiders. It was impossible to know the core secrets.
Not only was it impossible for the maid to know about it due to her low status, even if she did, unless she was courting death, she would never reveal some of the core secrets of the Sacred Pavilion.
This Elder Hu was very famous in the intelligence report. He was the number two figure in the Sacred Pavilion. His cultivation base was at the peak of the Martial Ancestor Realm, and it was said that he was only half a step away from becoming a Martial Saint.
The Cultivation Techniques and Martial Arts Skills he cultivated were said to be Middle-Grade Heaven Rank. Although his talent was not comparable to those geniuses of big families from First Grade Countries and the imperial city of the Four Empires, after a long period of reliable cultivation, Elder Hu still managed to cultivate both Cultivation Techniques and Martial Arts Skills to the Perfection Stage.
Ye Xiao cupped his chin and seemed to be deep in thought. "Although he is only half a step away from the Martial Saint Realm, this Elder Hu is too old. It will be very difficult for him to break through to the Martial Saint Realm. Unless he finds a lot of medicinal herbs of the Sixth or Seventh Tier, he may not become a Martial Saint."
...
On the auction stage, Elder Hu coughed lightly. Due to the spirit energy being poured into his mouth, this cough resounded clearly in everyone's ears.
The expressions of the experts at the First Floor of the Sacred pavilion auction house changed, and the originally quiet voice became even quieter.
In the face of a Ninth Stage Martial Ancestor Realm martial artist and the person in charge of the Sacred Pavilion, no one dared to make any noise.
Elder Hu looked around with satisfaction. He said in a flat tone, "I am sure all of you already know my name. I won't waste any more time talking. I'll be the host of this auction."
"Now, I declare that my Sacred Pavilion Auction will officially begin!"
"The first item to be auctioned is a High-Grade Earth Rank cultivation technique. The starting bid is ten thousand Supreme Points. "
"Fifteen thousand!"
"Twenty thousand!"
"Thirty thousand!! "
Very quickly, the First Layer started an intense bidding war.
On the second floor, in the room number 22, Ye Xiao calmly watched these people bidding. High-Grade Earth Rank cultivation technique was useless to him, so he didn't care about this High-Grade Earth Rank cultivation technique.
The Supreme Point was a kind of currency that was pushed out by the Sacred Pavilion. Supreme Points and Spirit Stones could be exchanged for each other.
While Ye Xiao was thinking about the Supreme Points, the first item of the auction, a High-Grade Earth Rank cultivation technique, had already been auctioned off to a Third Stage Martial Emperor Realm cultivator. It cost a total of 120,000 Supreme Points.
120,000 Supreme Points were equal to 120,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones.
Elder Hu had already expected that a High-Grade Earth Rank cultivation technique would be auctioned at such a price. He wasn't disappointed or surprised and calmly started the second item.
The second item was a palm-type Martial Arts Skill at the High-Grade Earth Rank.
The one who bid was still an expert from the First Floor of the Sacred Pavilion.
The people on the second and third floors were indifferent to such a level of cultivation technique and martial arts skill.
In the end, this High-Grade Earth Rank martial arts skill was auctioned off at a price of 150,000 Supreme Points.
One after another, many items were successfully auctioned off.
In the blink of an eye, more than 20 items were auctioned off just like that. During this period of time, the first floor of the Sacred Pavilion was the venue for the auction. The second and third floors were silent.
It was already noon of the day.
Elder Hu coughed lightly: "It's already noon. The auction will be put on hold for two hours and it will continue after two hours."
These two hours were for everyone to eat and rest.
Many Martial Emperor Realm martial artists left one after another. As Martial Emperor Realm martial artists, their ability to endure hunger was far inferior to the Martial Ancestor Realm martial artists.
Two hours passed quickly, and the auction continued.
"The twenty-sixth item is a Low-Grade Heaven Rank martial arts skill. The starting bid is 10,000 Supreme Coins!"
Where a Supreme Point was equal to Low-Grade Spirit Stone, a Supreme Coin was equal to a Middle-Grade Spirit Stone.
After a short break, an explosive auction started right after the auction begins.
To the people at the Second Floor of the Sacred Pavilion auction house, a Low-Grade Heaven Rank martial arts skill was still a little tempting but for the people at the Third Floor of the Sacred Pavilion, a martial arts skill of Low-Grade Heaven
Rank was nothing more than a normal skill.
These people on the third floor belong to the big powers of the Four Empires. They did not lack skills at the level of Middle-Grade Heaven Rank, how could they put a Low-Grade Heaven Rank martial arts skill in their eyes.
The cultivators on the First Floor were silent for a moment. Then, the expression in the eyes of these cultivators changed. Since there was an auction for Low-Grade Heaven Rank martial arts skills now, this also meant that the value of the items in the auction would only become greater and greater.
If the auction venue before the break was for the people at the First Floor of the Sacred pavilion Auction House, then starting from this Low-Grade Heaven Rank martial arts skill, the auction venue moved toward the people at the Second Floor and will gradually force the people at the Third Floor to make their moves to bid for items.
A small portion of the cultivators at the First Floor of the Sacred Pavilion Auction House had already decided to bid with all their might. If they didn't bid now, they wouldn't even have the qualifications to bid later.
If they went all out now, they might have a chance to get this Low-Grade Heaven Rank martial arts skill.
"Fifteen thousand!" Finally, a cultivator on the First Floor called out a bid. The first bid was fifteen thousand Supreme coins.
"Twenty thousand!" Another cultivator smiled coldly as he made his move. His eyes were filled with provocation as he looked at the first person.
"Thirty thousand!" Another cultivator from the First Floor shouted out a bid. The previous cultivator instantly became dispirited.
Even though the Holy Spirit City and the three countries surrounding it did not lack Middle-Grade Spirit Stones, it was still not easy for Martial Emperor Realm martial artists to obtain Middle-Grade Spirit Stones. These cultivators could only obtain a limited number of Middle-Grade Spirit Stones.
Inside room number 22 on the second floor, Ye Xiao was looking at these things with interest.
"Low-Grade Heaven Rank martial arts skill... I wonder at what price this martial arts skill will be auctioned?"
The bidding for the Low-Grade martial arts skill was still going on intensely. Soon, the price of this martial arts skill was raised to a Hundred Thousand Supreme Coins.
The one who bid was a Ninth Stage Martial Emperor Realm martial artist on the First Floor. Cold sweat had started to form on the forehead of this middle-aged man. Obviously, a Hundred Thousand Supreme Coins was approaching the limit of this middle-aged man's budget.
A Hundred Thousand Supreme Coins were equivalent to a Hundred Thousand Middle-Grade Spirit Stones, how can he remain calm at this moment when the price for the martial arts skill he was bidding has reached his limit.
Fortunately, all the cultivators on the First Floor did not continue to bid anymore.
For a Martial Emperor Realm martial artist, it was already very impressive to have so many Middle-Grade Spirit Stones.
A Hundred Thousand Supreme Coins had caused the cultivators on the first floor to fall into silence. This had already exceeded their limits.
Just as the middle-aged man thought that he was about to obtain a Low-Grade Heaven Rank martial arts skill, a voice suddenly sounded out from the Second Floor's 99th room.
"Two Hundred Thousand Supreme Coins!"
The face of the middle-aged man stiffened when he heard this voice.
