Chapter 68: Chapter 66: The Auction Begins, High-end Auction_1

While Chen Chang’an and Xuan Qingzi were settling down in their private room, the number of people in the Tianxiang auction house was steadily increasing.

Under the banner of Tianxiang Pavilion, it was impossible to prevent people from coming.

Eventually, when most of the guests had arrived,

The pre-auction phase was nearing its end.

The official auction was about to begin.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Tianxiang Auction House."

"I am the auction master, Wang Changqing. I will preside over this grand auction."

Not keeping the audience waiting for long, a senior-looking man emerged onto the auction stage below.

The elderly man stepped onto the stage and addressed the audience.

However, despite his passionate speech, the crowd underneath remained unmoved.

They clearly knew who was truly in charge of Tianxiang Auction House.

Moreover, they were here for the objects of their desire.

Some fiery words would suffice to listen to, nothing more.

"Alright, we will now start the auction of our first item, ’Spirit-void Grass’."

The elderly man seemed to know the crowd’s reaction, so he quickly moved on to the main event.

"’Spirit-void Grass’ is a third-grade spiritual medicine, which can be used to make high-rank spirit pills."

"The starting price is thirty Dao Source Stones."

"....."

The elderly man’s impassioned voice echoed through the auction hall.

Inside the private room, Chen Chang’an held the auction list, carefully considering it.

"Did junior brother find something interesting?"

Xuan Qingzi enquired.

"Yes, there is one thing that interests me." Chen Chang’an put down the list and replied.

"Just tell me if you are interested in anything."

"I can help you to bid for it." Xuan Qingzi offered.

With the ten thousand Dao Source Stones from Li Daoran and his own savings over the years, totaling about forty to fifty thousand stones, he was quite confident.

"You need not worry, brother. I do have some money."

Chen Chang’an shook his head, and then closed his eyes as he sat down at the table.

"Sister, you help me bid later."

Suddenly, he looked at Mao Ruxue standing at the side and requested.

"Okay, senior brother."

Mao Ruxue nodded.

"Congratulations to this guest for successfully winning this ’Tai Xuan Immortal Pill’."

"Next, let’s move on to the auction of the next exotic item, the ’Nine-ring Tin Staff’!"

"The Nine-ring Tin Staff, cast by the Buddhism master Yuan Zhen, forged in fire, imbued with divine skills. The starting price, fifty Dao Source Stones..."

"...."

"Four hundred and ninety-three Dao Source Stones once, four hundred and ninety-three Dao Source Stones twice, four hundred and ninety-three Dao Source Stones for the third time!"

"Congratulations to Master Hui Neng for successfully winning this divine artifact ’Nine-ring Tin Staff’."

"Up next, let’s proceed to the next item up for auction..."

On the stage, Wang Changqing continued to call out.

Under his signal, items were sold one by one.

And with it, the mood of the crowd inside the auction house was raised to a new high.

At least everyone had a chance to acquire an auction item.

However, even though the transactions were thriving,

If one were to look closely, an interesting detail would emerge.

Up till now, none of the individuals residing in the private rooms on the second floor have bid even once.

It was as if they were not here to participate in the auction at all.

But in reality, it was known to almost everyone.

That they were, indeed, and they were the backbone of this auction event!

It could be said that the main reason Tianxiang Pavilion prepared such a large auction was for these individuals!

"Ladies and Gentlemen, up till now, the preliminary part has concluded. Next, we will proceed to the second phase of the auction."

Shortly after, Wang Changqing finally toned down his passionate calling out.

He bowed to the audience and announced.

Then, he bowed again to all the private rooms on the second floor and instructed:

"The distinguished guests on the second floor."

"In your private rooms, there’s a dedicated jade screen."

"If you want to bid on any unique item, just click on it directly."

"If the auction is successful, our dedicated staff will have the item delivered to you."

After explaining, Wang Changqing proceeded with the auction.

At this time, Chen Chang’an had also started paying attention to the auction.

"Next, we will be auctioning the next item-’Purple Yuan Immortal Grass’!"

Just then, Wang Changqing below started to speak.

As he was speaking, he unveiled the cover on the auction stage, revealing a misty-immortal grass enveloped in purple aura before everyone.

Bang~!

The moment everyone saw this misty-immortal grass, the entire hall was shook.

The audience instantly burst into a myriad of discussions.

"Holy shit!"

"Purple Yuan Immortal Grass?!"

"Damn, are you kidding me? This level of immortal grass is just the first item?!"

Purple Yuan Immortal Grass, it only grows in the Divine Abyss.

Moreover, it is a unique immortal grass that grows only on a pure Yang immortal mountain in the Divine Abyss.

The roots are ancient and mysterious yellow, each leaf carries the breath of time’s passage.

Its uses are endless!

The simplest use is that it can allow cultivators to rebuild their primordial spirit, transform their five internal divine hidden.

This is just its most basic effect.

If it is refined into a pill, it turns into a sixth-grade immortal pill - Heavenly Fragrance Immortal Pill.

The effect of that would be even better!

It can directly help a cultivator to break the limit of the world, trace back to the terrifying effect of the sixth divine hidden!

The sixth divine hidden, this is something that a fifth realm Great Cultivator must have in order to advance to a sixth realm Great Cultivator!

In other words, the Purple Yuan Immortal Grass has the effect of letting a Great Cultivator of the fifth realm to have an unlimited possibility of advancement to the sixth realm!

Although it’s only a possibility, but it is enough!

The sixth realm, is the dream of countless people!

Even if it’s just a sliver of possibility, it’s enough to drive people mad!

The crowd was taken aback.

They had thought that this auction would be high-end, but they had not expected it to be to such an extent.

Even something like the Purple Yuan Immortal Grass which in the past could be used as the grand finale of an auction.

Here.

It was just used as the opening item to set the tone of the auction?

This level of extravagance is simply absurd!

Just then, Wang Changqing started to speak.

He pointed to the misty-immortal grass on stage, saying:

"Purple Yuan Immortal Grass, sixth-grade Immortal Grass."

"Starting price, five thousand Dao Source Stones!"

"Each increase in bid shall be no less than a hundred Dao Source Stones."

"If any guest is interested, you can start bidding now."

"What?! 5,000 Dao Source Stones?!"

At Wang Changqing’s words, the formerly excited crowd on the first floor was doused like a bucket of cold water. Everyone fell silent.

Five thousand Dao Source Stones, that’s simply a cosmic wealth they couldn’t even touch!
