Five days later.
A celestial boat sailed from afar, and in Ye Xuan's line of sight, a massive city appeared. Above the city gates were the words 'War God Sacred City', exuding ancient and powerful calligraphy.
This was the destination for Ye Xuan and his group, the headquarters of the War God Sacred Hall.
"Hiss..."
Upon approaching, Feng Chen and the others were awestruck by the guards of the War God Sacred City. Even the mere guards were at the level of God Monarchs.
"Truly a grand display!"
The King of Slaughter couldn't help but exclaim, "All are God Monarch level powerhouses, and that captain is likely at least at the third level of God Monarch!"
Clearly!
Such a setup was quite impactful even to the King of Slaughter. It was evident that the strength of a third-rank Divine Kingdom was nowhere near that of the War God Sacred Hall, as the gap was not insignificant.
"Heh, with the Burial Demon Secret Realm opening, many powerful individuals have arrived in the Sacred City!"
"Indeed, just yesterday a Lord at the fifth level of God Emperor visited, truly shocking many people!"
"This auction in the War God Sacred City will surely be a fierce bidding war!"
"With experts from all sides gathering, this auction is bound to be the greatest in over ten thousand years!!"
"It's truly something to look forward to, tsk tsk~~~"
Listening to the chatter, Ye Xuan curved his lips. As expected, where there were significant events, auctions were indispensable. However, it was only natural; after all, with so many powerhouses gathered, it would be a waste not to make good use of it.
For Ye Xuan, this was also an opportunity to reap wealth.
"Let's go, we'll go take a look too."
"Perhaps we'll find some good treasures~"
Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes. With the Burial Demon Secret Realm now open, the War God Sacred Hall would likely go all out to auction the best items!
Before long, the group arrived at the auction house.
"Are esteemed Lords here to attend the auction?"
As they approached, one of the experts at the fifth level of God Monarch, sensing the extraordinary aura of Ye Xuan's group, bowed respectfully. His gaze particularly lingered on Zhan Hun Tian, whom he estimated to be not far from the God Emperor realm.
After all, such a powerful being was a distinguished guest even within the War God Sacred Hall, and he dared not offend him!
"Yes, and we also have some items to auction."
Following the smooth procedure, Ye Xuan, under the respectful gazes of the auction house staff, arrived at a VIP lounge. Had Ye Xuan not been auctioning several pills, they would likely not even have qualified for a VIP room.
Of course!
Under normal circumstances, it would not be like this. However, with powerhouses from all sides gathered, even many God Emperors were present. Those who were qualified to sit in the private boxes were all God Emperors without exception.
"Good!"
As time passed, the auction soon began.
Lou Ao Xue, the person in charge of the auction, breathed a sigh of relief and subtly glanced at the private box where Ye Xuan was located. "Good heavens, the items to be auctioned by that Lord today will likely shake up all the experts."
"It is a great pleasure for everyone to attend this auction despite your busy schedules. With the Burial Demon Secret Realm opening, acquiring a magical treasure or two at this time will surely help you find opportunities."
Lou Ao Xue said this, and this was precisely why they had opened the auction early. After all, the Burial Demon Secret Realm had just opened, and this opportunity was fleeting. "Without further ado, the first auction item is next."
As Lou Ao Xue's voice fell, she flipped her right hand, and a transparent porcelain bottle appeared in her palm. Through the bottle, ten pills could be clearly seen within.
Subsequently...
As the formation was unlocked, a rich aroma of pills wafted out, instantly filling every corner of the auction hall.
"Hmm!"
"This is........"
Just as Lou Ao Xue had predicted, the first auction item indeed piqued everyone's interest.
Then, Lou Ao Xue, in a timely manner, eloquently explained, "This pill is called the [Monarch Grade · God Breaking Pill]. Its effect is to allow peak experts below the ninth level of God Monarch to increase their cultivation by at least one level without any side effects."
What!
Upon hearing Lou Ao Xue's words, the entire hall was shaken.
However, before everyone could ponder further, Lou Ao Xue's voice rang out again, "This was entrusted to our War God Sacred Hall for auction by a mysterious Lord. There are a total of ten [Monarch Grade · God Breaking Pills]. The starting bid for each pill is ten million mid-grade divine crystals, and for ten pills, the starting bid is one hundred million mid-grade divine crystals. Each bid must not be less than one hundred thousand mid-grade divine crystals!"
"Now, let the auction begin!!"
As Lou Ao Xue introduced the items, especially the auction prices, it truly astonished everyone in the auction hall. "Damn, starting with mid-grade divine crystals, and over a hundred million. Are they trying to rob us?"
"One hundred million mid-grade divine crystals!"
"One hundred fifty million, I'll take it!"
"Two hundred million!!"
However, ultimately, everyone underestimated the wealth of the rich. In an instant, the bidding for the ten [Monarch Grade · God Breaking Pills] broke through three hundred million. Despite God Emperors not needing them, they all had their descendants, disciples, and factions. Thus, having such divine pills in their possession was the best.
Finally!
The ten [Monarch Grade · God Breaking Pills] were bought by a powerhouse at the third level of God Emperor, but they were sold at the sky-high price of five hundred million mid-grade divine crystals.
"Good, next, the second auction item!"
Lou Ao Xue's lips curved into a smile, and she flipped her right hand again, producing another transparent porcelain bottle.
"Heh, this second auction item is twenty [Monarch Grade · God Breaking Pills], with a starting bid of two hundred million mid-grade divine crystals!"
Whoosh~!!
This sudden turn of events stunned everyone. Gazes converged on Lou Ao Xue at the auction stage.
"What!"
"Twenty [Monarch Grade · God Breaking Pills], this!?"
"My goodness, who is this mysterious person to have so many divine pills~~"
For a moment, the auction hall erupted in an uproar, and their eyes were filled with unprecedented ardor. It was a no-brainer that the mysterious Lord must have more divine pills in his possession if he could so easily produce these.
"Two hundred million!"
"Three hundred million!"
"......"
"Eight hundred million!!"
Soon, the bidding reached one billion mid-grade divine crystals. This kind of bidding truly astonished Zhan Hun Tian and his companions. "Good heavens, as expected, the Divine Lord's pills are incredibly sought after."
Finally!
*Clang~*
With the final hammer strike, Lou Ao Xue finally sold the twenty [Monarch Grade · God Breaking Pills] for a staggering price of 1.2 billion, astonishing the entire auction hall.
The warm-up was a success, and Lou Ao Xue's lips curved into a triumphant arc. Even if the quality of the following auction items was not as good, the prices would not drop too low. She was already very adept at such operations.
One quarter-hour!
Two quarters-hour! Three quarters-hour!!
As various auction items were bid on by different factions, at a certain moment, Lou Ao Xue once again produced the next auction item. "Good, the next item is a damaged armor. Its name is unknown, but it can withstand all attacks from those below the God Emperor realm, though its repair is extremely demanding."
"Now, let the auction for this armor begin. The starting bid is three hundred million mid-grade divine crystals!"
The armor suddenly appeared, and Ye Xuan's eyelids twitched. The soul of the God Slaying Spear became restless and its voice echoed in Ye Xuan's mind, "What..... this, could this be the Heaven Smiting Battle Armor of the adult Heaven Smiting God Emperor!"
"Master, this armor must be acquired!!!"
