“It’s quite lively, huh?” Yun Lingwei looked at the scene in relish. This was the first time she saw this level of the auction hall.
“I’m curious. What is the so-called supreme treasure they are talking about?” Yun Huanxin said curiously. ．
“It must be something on the divine rank.” Yun Qingrou expressed her opinion.
“You all think too much. Nothing in this lower world can be called supreme treasures besides the Land of Beyond Heaven you are residing in right now.” Hongyue said disdainfully.
Everyone was rendered speechless instantly. The standards between Hongyue and them were entirely different. How could they treat the divine-rank treasure as worthless garbage like her?
At this moment, the light inside the hall gradually dimmed, and everyone immediately quieted down. All of their eyes were fixated on a crystal stage at the center of the hall, waiting for the auction to start.
A beautiful figure in a blue robe slowly walked onto the stage. Her temperament was elegant and noble. Coupled with her devilish figure, all the young men were unable to shift their gazes elsewhere and continued to stare at her.
The elegant woman stood calmly at the center of the stage and briefly swept her gaze over the crowd before revealing a charming smile. “Welcome everyone to our Mystic Pavilion. My name is Wu Xue, your auctioneer today.”
The crowd below immediately applauded loudly, fully expressing their enthusiasm. Obviously, they weren’t excited about the auction but about the beautiful auctioneer. Even if they left this place emptied hand today, they didn’t regret it.
“Before we start, I would like to explain our rules first.” Wu Xue said. “Anyone who causes trouble will be expelled from this place directly and will be put on our blacklist.”
“Secondly, all the auction items are meticulously identified by our experts before we take them out. Therefore, the price of these items is naturally fair. In order to let the auction proceed smoothly, we do not allow anyone to question us about the price. I hope everyone understands this.”
“Lastly, the highest bidder wins. Any unreasonable interference or maliciously bid in order to make other parties lose the chance to win the item is not allowed here. What is the action that is classified as the two categories above? Only us have the right to judge.”
As her voice fell, those who came here for the first time glanced at each other and nodded their heads in satisfaction. The Mystic Pavilion was indeed worthy of its reputation. These auction rules were fair and square, allowing a weak participant without any background to bid at ease.
Yun Lintian listened to this and felt it was reasonable. With these rules, there was no need to fear those people in the fourth zone. However, whether they could keep the items after leaving this place was their own problem.
Wu Xue looked at the crowd and said. “Since everyone already understands this, we shall let the auction begin.”
Wu Xue clapped her hands, and two beautiful maids came on the crystal stage and put the auction items on top of the table to show the audience.
The first auction was a magical herb called Rainbow Lilly. It was a rare ingredient for a high-level pill that helped users improve their constitution.
“This is the Rainbow Lilly. For those who didn’t know, among a hundred million magical lilies, there would be only one that successfully transformed into the Rainbow Lilly. I believe I don’t need to explain further about how rare it is.” Wu Xue explained.
“Usually, the Rainbow Lilly is used as a main ingredient for the Foundation Pill. This pill will allow practitioners to improve their foundation without any side effects. If the winner of this Rainbow Lilly wants to turn it into the Foundation Pill, we can provide a high-level alchemist for you with a friendly price.”
Wu Xue smiled at the audience and said. “The starting price is ten thousand middle-grade Profound Stones. Everyone can start your bid now.”
“Rainbow Lilly? Do we need this?” In the Land of Beyond Heaven, Yun Lingwei looked at the rainbow-colored flower in surprise and asked.
Yun Qingrou shook her head. “If it was before, we indeed need this. But now, we don’t need to improve our foundation anymore.”
Her words were not unreasonable. Everyone, including the future disciples of the Misty Cloud Sect, had to start anew from the beginning in order to practice the sect’s profound art. Their foundation would naturally be rock-solid. Therefore, the Foundation Pill was entirely unnecessary for them.
Yun Lintian also held the same idea. He could, of course, bid for the Rainbow Lilly, but he didn’t want to expose his wealth from the start.
The audience started to raise their bid one by one until it was ended at two hundred thousand middle-grade Profound Stones. The winner was a middle-aged man with an unstable foundation. Everyone could obviously see why he urgently needed this Rainbow Lilly with a glance.
After the winner was found, Wu Xue continued introducing the second item right away. This time, it was a high-level material for crafting an artifact.
Yun Lintian wasn’t interested in this and continued to watch the scene boringly.
In a blink of an eye, nineteen items were successfully auctioned away, and Wu Xue began to introduce the twentieth item.
At this moment, two beautiful maids walked onto the stage with a chunk of grey-colored metal that seemingly floated above the maids’ hands.
Yun Lintian’s half-closed eyes instantly opened wide as his long-awaited item had finally appeared. This lump of metal was no other than the Floating Metal!
The two maids placed the metal on the table, but it didn’t touch the table at all. Instead, the metal was floating gently, as if it was extremely light.
Wu Xue said to the audience. “Our twentieth item is one of the rarest metals in this world. The Floating Metal!… I believe everyone here is aware of a profound skyship. This Floating Metal is the most important material to create one. Of course, it could also be used to create other artifacts, such as a flying sword.
“To avoid wasting time further. The starting price is one hundred thousand high-grade Profound Stones. Everyone can start your bid now!”
