The transaction was complete!
Soon, Ye Xuan obtained the spatial ring containing the seven-colored Hell Demon Spider Emperor's corpse. A scan with his divine sense confirmed its authenticity, and he curved his lips.
"Excellent, next, we auction the third item..."
As the auctioneer continued, the event soon reached its most exciting moments. Even the previously bored private boxes perked up.
The items they were interested in had arrived.
Sensing the attention from the various boxes, the auctioneer smiled slightly. "It seems everyone knows."
"That's right, next are the final two auction items of this auction!"
"First, we present the first highlight auction item, the high-grade immortal artifact, the Nether Spirit Orb!"
The auctioneer's voice rose a decibel as he introduced, "This artifact is called the Nether Spirit Orb. Any user who forms a bond with it can absorb energy to gain Nether power..."
Oh!?
As the auctioneer's eloquent description continued, it was clear that the various factions were extremely interested.
Seeing this, a cunning, fox-like glint flickered in the auctioneer's eyes. He pressed his advantage without further ado.
"Without further ado, the starting bid for this artifact is 1000 mid-grade immortal crystals, with each bid increase no less than 500 mid-grade immortal crystals!"
"Now, let the bidding commence!!"
With a crack of the gavel, the private boxes immediately erupted into a frenzy of bidding.
"1000 mid-grade immortal crystals!"
"1500 mid-grade immortal crystals!"
"2000 mid-grade immortal crystals!!"
Soon, the bidding in the hall reached 3000 mid-grade immortal crystals. Seeing this, Ye Xuan, having already made up his mind, began to bid.
"5000 mid-grade immortal crystals."
His calm voice rang out, and the entire hall erupted in an uproar. All eyes from the private boxes turned towards Ye Xuan's box, their surprise unprecedented.
"What the hell?"
"5000 mid-grade immortal crystals, is that kid crazy!"
"What a prodigal, who bids like that~~"
The private boxes buzzed with complaints. They were unaware that, to Ye Xuan, these mid-grade immortal crystals were nothing, not even a drop in the ocean.
"5500 mid-grade immortal crystals!"
The auction hall fell silent for a few seconds before a hesitant voice emerged. It was clear that the owner of this voice had put considerable thought into their bid.
"10,000 mid-grade immortal crystals."
Ye Xuan's voice followed immediately, this time directly driving the price up to 10,000 mid-grade immortal crystals.
Crack~
As soon as Ye Xuan finished speaking, the sound of a teacup shattering echoed from the box that had bid 5500 mid-grade immortal crystals. "Your generosity is truly astounding!"
"10,000 mid-grade immortal crystals, first call!"
"10,000 mid-grade immortal crystals, second call!"
"10,000 mid-grade immortal crystals, third call!!!"
The three calls concluded, followed by the auctioneer's decisive gavel strike. The Nether Spirit Orb was sold for the sky-high price of 10,000 mid-grade immortal crystals.
Money exchanged hands for goods. After receiving the Nether Spirit Orb from a staff member of the Cangyu Auction House, Ye Xuan tossed it to Dongfang Qingkong, who was marveling beside him. "Fourth brother, you can use this orb."
Dongfang Qingkong, "........"
"Ah, this... Master, you're giving me this high-grade immortal artifact!?"
Looking at the Nether Spirit Orb, brimming with spiritual energy, in his hands, Dongfang Qingkong was clearly stunned. He had never expected his master to bid over ten thousand mid-grade immortal crystals for an item and then give it to him.
Yu Hongyu watched this scene, her lips curving. She hadn't realized her master was so generous.
"Heh, take it."
"It's only selling for 10,000 mid-grade immortal crystals in a small place like Cangyu City. Elsewhere, it would fetch more than ten or even dozens of times that price."
Looking at the high-grade immortal artifact, Yu Hongyu admitted she quite liked it. However, she understood it belonged to her fourth senior brother, and she wouldn't take it.
"That's right, fourth senior brother, don't let down Master's expectations."
Bing Xiaoxue chimed in from the side, while Mo Xuanyou added, "Fourth brother, you've always wanted to surpass me, haven't you? This is a good opportunity."
"Besides, I also received Master's inherited jade slip earlier."
Encouraged by the others, Dongfang Qingkong pondered for a moment. "This, alright then!"
"Master, your great kindness, Qingkong remembers it!!"
Dongfang Qingkong nodded solemnly, then tightly gripped the Nether Spirit Orb in his hand, resolving to work even harder to repay his master's generosity in the future.
"Master, the next auction item should be the Glazed Ice Xuan Wing, which is extremely rare and ice-attribute."
"Master, are you perhaps planning to bid for fifth sister?"
Yu Hongyu, having somewhat understood her master's intentions, asked suspiciously.
Mo Xuanyou and Dongfang Qingkong were taken aback at her words, then exchanged glances and looked at Bing Xiaoxue again.
Bing Xiaoxue's heart leaped into her throat. Just as her heart was pounding, her master's voice rang out.
"Heh, that's right."
"When I heard about these two items, I already had that intention."
Just then, the auctioneer on stage presented the final highlight auction item, the Glazed Ice Xuan Wing, which had spread throughout Cangyu City.
"Master, I..."
"Next, this high-grade immortal weapon, the Glazed Ice Xuan Wing, has a starting bid of 1000 mid-grade immortal crystals, with each bid increase no less than 500 mid-grade immortal crystals!"
"Let the bidding commence!!"
The auctioneer was in an unusually good mood, having just sold an item for a good price.
"10,000 mid-grade immortal crystals."
Before anyone could bid, Ye Xuan's voice echoed throughout every corner of the auction hall.
Upon hearing this, the hall erupted in an uproar, and even the occupants of the private boxes turned their astonished gazes towards Ye Xuan's location.
Good heavens!
Another 10,000 mid-grade immortal crystals! Does that guy... really have that many immortal crystals?
This is a joke!
Anyone who can easily produce such a large sum of immortal crystals is definitely a major patron.
"11,000 mid-grade immortal crystals!"
This time, from the box that had bid 5500 mid-grade immortal crystals, an elder's eyes flashed with sharp light, and a cold aura emanated from him. Clearly, the Glazed Ice Xuan Wing was even more important to him than the Nether Spirit Orb.
"20,000 mid-grade immortal crystals."
As soon as the voice of the seventh-tier Dao Ancestor expert from the Dragon Tiger Sect finished speaking, Ye Xuan's voice rang out again. The terrifying aura of a seventh-tier Dao Ancestor then permeated the surroundings. It was clear that as the Grand Elder of the Dragon Tiger Sect, he had never been subjected to such treatment.
"This... this is actually a seventh-tier Dao Ancestor expert!!"
Sensing this aura, the expressions of everyone in the auction hall changed. They then looked at Ye Xuan's private box with amusement. That kid seemed to be finished. After all, offending a seventh-tier Dao Ancestor was not a wise move. However, they were unaware of the true nature of the person they were mocking.
The Grand Elder of the Dragon Tiger Sect, on the other hand, was oblivious to the immense disaster he was about to bring upon himself and the Dragon Tiger Sect, a prominent first-rate force in the Haotian Immortal Kingdom, with his current ferocity.
