Hearing this voice, Zhou Yu immediately opened his eyes, then got up and walked out of the side hall.

When he arrived at the main hall, it had already changed completely.

The entire grand hall had fallen into complete darkness.

This darkness was not just dimmed light, but a grand formation with an extremely strong concealment aura had been activated.

At this moment, within the entire hall, every person’s figure was shrouded in a special halo.

It was very difficult to probe each other’s situation.

At the same time, in the center of the hall, a huge high platform appeared, as if piled together from Luminous Pearls.

On top of the high platform, an old man appeared silently and without a sound.

Seeing this old man, many people below the stage immediately grew restless.

It seemed many of them recognized this old man.

Just then, the old man spoke.

"Everyone, welcome to this auction conference. This old man’s name is Chi Song, and on the path of Artifact Refining I can be considered to have some minor accomplishments."

"Today I received the commission of the auction house’s host and have specially come to preside over this auction."

Hearing these words, Zhou Yu stared at him with some curiosity.

From the looks of it, this person seemed to have quite a background.

Just then, the murmurs of the people beside Zhou Yu drifted over.

"I didn’t expect Master Chi to be hosting this auction."

"Master Chi is a top-tier Artifact Refining Master in Fengyuan City."

"For them to invite him to act, there must be some truly good stuff in this auction!"

"That’s right."

"..."

Hearing the crowd’s discussion, Zhou Yu’s spirits instantly lifted.

He hadn’t expected this person to actually be a top-tier Artifact Refining Master.

Zhou Yu knew very well that on this Plane, a top-tier Artifact Refining Master was in no way inferior to an Alchemist.

Just then, Master Chi continued:

"Moreover, since everyone has so enthusiastically come to support us, this old man will definitely not let you down."

"I can reveal a bit in advance: at this auction, there will be three extremely rare treasures."

"When the time comes, they will definitely broaden your horizons and make this trip worthwhile."

As soon as Master Chi said this, the atmosphere in the hall immediately reached a climax.

Anything that Master Chi could call a good item definitely would not be ordinary.

For a time, a fiery look surfaced in everyone’s eyes.

They were already unable to wait any longer.

"Alright, this old man won’t keep you in suspense."

"Next, this auction will officially begin!"

"First, the item in the first round of bidding is Pill Medicine."

As Master Chi’s voice fell, a maid could be seen walking up, carrying a Jade Plate.

On the Jade Plate lay an exquisite Jade Bottle.

Seeing this Jade Bottle, everyone immediately revealed a look of anticipation.

What Pill Medicine would this be?

At this time, Master Chi opened the Jade Bottle.

In an instant, a rich medicinal fragrance wafted out.

Smelling this medicinal fragrance, everyone felt their spirits shake.

Good stuff!

It was absolutely good stuff.

At this moment, Master Chi took out a Pill Medicine from the Jade Bottle, and then, in front of everyone, a Spirit Flame suddenly appeared in his palm.

The Pill Medicine was instantly wrapped by the Spirit Flame.

Right after, a strange halo appeared on the surface of the Pill Medicine.

Seeing this scene, many people around cried out in surprise:

"It’s a top-grade Star Meteor Pill!"

"Only when it has reached the top-grade level will it have such a special halo."

"The Star Meteor Pill is currently the best Pill Medicine for increasing Divinity Transformation Realm Cultivation, and this one is even top-grade."

"If one’s talent is decent, just this one bottle of Pill Medicine is enough to let someone Cultivate from Early-stage Divinity Transformation Realm all the way to Late Stage."

"If used at Mid Divine Transformation Realm, there’s even a chance to reach the Peak of Divinity Transformation Realm!"

At this moment, Zhou Yu also revealed a burning desire in his eyes.

He too had recognized the Star Meteor Pill at first glance.

In fact, when he previously purchased elixir recipes, his target had been the elixir recipe for the Star Meteor Pill.

It was just a pity that he hadn’t gotten his wish.

He hadn’t expected the very first item of this auction to be the Star Meteor Pill.

While Zhou Yu’s eyes were burning with desire, Master Chi spoke:

"All the guests who’ve come today are Daoist friends above the Divinity Transformation Realm, so this item needs no further introduction from this old man."

"Starting price: one hundred thousand Spirit Stones. Bidding begins now."

As soon as Master Chi finished speaking, a wave of voices rose from below.

"Three hundred thousand!"

"Three hundred fifty!"

"Four hundred thousand!"

"Six hundred thousand!"

"..."

The atmosphere in the entire hall instantly grew even more heated.

The number of people participating in the bidding reached several dozen.

"It’s only just begun, and it’s already this intense?"

Zhou Yu wore a face full of shock.

But he quickly understood.

Master Chi had already said earlier that this auction would have three extremely rare treasures.

In fact, thinking it through carefully made it obvious.

These top-tier treasures were definitely beyond the reach of most people.

For the majority, being able to lay eyes on them was already pretty good.

So their real goal was to bid on items they could actually attain.

Especially things like realm-advancing necessities—naturally, most people needed them.

That was why the atmosphere was so feverish.

Of course, Zhou Yu was also somewhat tempted, but he chose not to make a move. As good as Pill Medicine was, for Zhou Yu, it was not a necessity.

Very soon, the bidding for the Star Meteor Pill came to an end.

Right after, another bottle of Pill Medicine was brought up.

This bottle of Pill Medicine wasn’t much different from the Star Meteor Pill, so the enthusiasm that had yet to cool in the crowd flared up once again.

Especially those who hadn’t made a move earlier—after observing the first round, they all joined in this time.

The second round of bidding grew even more heated.

Next, for a full ten rounds in a row, all the auction items were Pill Medicine.

At first they were Pill Medicines that boosted Cultivation, and later some with special uses.

In short, all of these Pill Medicines were rare good stuff that was hard to see outside.

After ten rounds, the Pill Medicine segment ended.

Immediately after, Master Chi waved his hand, and a maid came up carrying a strange bronze mirror.

Seeing this, everyone revealed excited expressions.

"It’s a Magic Treasure!"

Sure enough, Master Chi chuckled and said:

"Next is the Magic Treasure segment."

"Please take a look, this Magic Treasure is called the Dragon Tiger Mirror!"

Master Chi picked up the mirror, then injected a stream of True Yuan into it.

As the True Yuan poured in, the Dragon Tiger Mirror suddenly emitted a golden radiance.

Right after, two golden figures appeared in the mirror surface.

They were actually a dragon and a tiger.

The instant these two phantoms appeared, they exuded a powerful sense of oppression.

"These phantoms actually have the strength of Early-stage Divinity Transformation Realm!!!"

A cry of shock came from the crowd below.

"That’s right."

Master Chi said with a smile.

"This Dragon Tiger Mirror can release dragon and tiger phantoms with the strength of Early-stage Divinity Transformation Realm. They don’t need to be controlled; they can automatically lock onto the battle."

At this moment, Zhou Yu also showed a look of surprise.

He hadn’t expected this seemingly ordinary mirror to be capable of summoning two such powerful phantoms.

This was equivalent to, during battle, as long as one infused True Yuan, gaining two additional helpers of Divinity Transformation Realm Level. This was enough to overturn the outcome of the vast majority of battles between those in the Divinity Transformation Realm.

"Alright, the starting price for this treasure is one million Spirit Stones. Bidding begins now!"
