The Supreme Martial Expert of the Female CEO-Chapter 1826 - 1823: The First Auction Item

The Cheng family was assigned to room number forty-three, which means there are forty-two factions stronger than the Cheng family. This left Ling Feng somewhat astonished.

Room forty-three was spacious, with a round table and several chairs near the window. Refreshments were placed on the table, and there was a hemispherical green button at the center of the round table. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"This is the bidding button; if you want to bid, press this button first!" The Head of Cheng Family saw Ling Feng’s gaze fixed on the button and explained with a smile, "Let’s sit down first; the auction is about to start."

Seated on the chairs, they could see the central round platform of the auction through the window, offering quite a good view.

On the table was an introduction booklet, which Ling Feng picked up and flipped through. He found that the first few pages detailed the items to be auctioned, but the subsequent pages were all marked as pending. He couldn’t help but ask, "What does pending mean?"

"Those pending items are more mysterious auction items!" Cheng Minxue explained, "Or the auctioneer requested the auction house not disclose information about the items."

Ling Feng nodded. At this time, the Head of Cheng Family turned and smiled, saying, "Ling Feng, my dear nephew, if you fancy anything, feel free to say it—it’ll be a gift from Uncle Cheng!"

Ling Feng hurriedly declined, "No need, I don’t need anything right now!"

"Brother Feng, don’t be shy! My father has plenty of money, so we’re here to take down the big spenders!" Cheng Minxue said with a cheeky smile.

"You, you’re really hard to keep around once you’ve grown up!" The Head of Cheng Family said, somewhat helplessly.

Ling Feng smiled awkwardly, not being foolish. He seemed to understand something and couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

Before long, as everyone had mostly settled, a middle-aged man with a jade-like face appeared on the central round platform of the auction.

"Hello everyone, I am the host of this auction. Surely, old friends are already acquainted with me, and of course, this time there are many new friends joining us, so I’ll briefly introduce myself. My name is Baili, and I am the chief auctioneer of Purple Cloud Star Auction House! I hope you all gain something at this auction."

"Our Purple Cloud Star Auction House aims for premium quality, so our auction items are rare gems and treasures. From tens of thousands of consignments, we have selected one hundred and eight rare items for auction; this is the largest auction ever in the history of Purple Cloud Star Auction House!"

"Enough with the idle talk, surely everyone is curious about what these one hundred and eight auction items are. Let’s start the auction journey right now, beginning with our first auction item!"

As Baili spoke, he waved his large hand, and a stone box rose from beneath the platform, with a label marked 001 and a seal on it. Ling Feng immediately sensed the powerful force of the seal on the stone box.

"To be able to employ a Pinnacle of the Azure Sky Realm expert as the auctioneer, the Purple Cloud Star Auction House truly has formidable strength. As one of the three major auction houses, it indeed has its foundation!" Ling Feng thought to himself.

"Everyone should have seen from the auction brochure that this auction item is a set of Golden Needles!" Baili said with a smile, "Of course, these aren’t ordinary Golden Needles. There are three hundred and sixty needles in total, each meeting the quality of a Low-Grade Divine Artifact, and this set of needles comes with a technique to convert and penetrate a cultivator’s Gang Qi!"

As his words fell, exclamations erupted from several rooms. Three hundred and sixty needles at the Divine Weapon Initial Stage, this is incredibly rare! Furthermore, these needles specialize in countering the Gang Qi of physical cultivators, practically the nemesis of strong-bodied cultivators!

Baili smiled slightly, "Words alone aren’t enough; you might have doubts about my statements. Now, let me show you!"

Saying this, Baili tore open the seal on the stone box and opened it. A powerful aura emanated from the box, the combined aura of three hundred and sixty Golden Needles equivalent to the aura of a Mid-Grade Divine Artifact.

Ling Feng was initially shocked, but after sensing this aura, he displayed a peculiar expression, as the Mo Yu Sword within him showed an inexplicable disdain for these needles.

Quickly, Ling Feng understood: his surprise had impacted the Mo Yu Sword, making it somewhat jealous. Ling Feng knew that the Mo Yu Sword was already at the high-grade Divine Instrument level, although not at the Top-Grade Divine Artifact level, it still had room for enhancement; the Sword Spirit of Mo Yu Sword still had great potential for growth!

"Alright, I understand; you are irreplaceable in my heart!" Ling Feng muttered inwardly, gently touching the Sword Scar of Mo Yu Sword, thus calming the Sword Spirit’s mood.

At this moment, Baili on stage released two giant beasts, each possessing an Early Stage of the Azure Sky Realm cultivation.

"What are these two giant beasts?" Maintaining a good habit of asking questions when unsure, Ling Feng tugged at Cheng Minxue beside him and asked.

Cheng Minxue explained, "These two giant beasts are Rock Devouring Beasts, usually parasitic on the planets within the perilous forest. They feed on the planetary core rocks, and even though their strength is only at the Early Stage, their hard armor makes even Mid Sky Realm experts helpless!"

Once released, the two Rock Devouring Beasts furiously charged at Baili, having been starved for several dozens of days. Their only thought now was to devour the person before them!

Baili, facing the two giant beasts, smiled slightly, and with a gentle wave over the stone box, the three hundred and sixty Golden Needles buzzed, then released a torrent of golden light from the box like an activated formation.

In the air, the Golden Needles stormed towards the two Rock Devouring Beasts like rain.

Many in the rooms stared wide-eyed, well aware that the tough armor of Rock Devouring Beasts couldn’t be pierced by Low-Grade Divine Artifacts.

However, in the next moment, everyone was shocked, as the needles penetrated the beasts like entering an undefended territory, each needle shooting through the beasts and exiting the other side!

In other words, each needle shot completely through the Rock Devouring Beasts.

The two beasts collapsed, blood flowing everywhere, without even understanding as they died why their proud armor couldn’t block the Needle’s attack.

"So powerful! I’m determined to get these Golden Needles!"

"With these Golden Needles, those specializing in tempering their bodies as cultivators will meet their doom?"

"Where did these things come from? They’re overturning my understanding!"

...

Ling Feng’s eyes revealed a look of realization, actually not just him, as those Pinnacle of the Azure Sky Realm experts also showed clarity, understanding why the needles managed to kill the Rock Devouring Beasts.
