As Wang Yi pondered, a sudden wave of discussions erupted below.
"The Yanzong Sect Leader, Crimson Serpent Qiao Meiniang, has arrived."
With the sound of this announcement, several graceful figures entered the Auction.
The foremost was a woman dressed in pink, with delicate shoulders and a slender figure. She had lustrous hair, willow leaf-like eyebrows, and eyes resembling autumn waters. Her gaze exuded charm that stirred the hearts of onlookers. With a pointed chin and fair skin, her long neck radiated infinite allure, and her flowing red gown was breathtaking.
She was none other than Qiao Meiniang, the Yanzong Sect Leader, known as the Crimson Serpent—a woman brimming with seduction, capable of igniting a man's Blazing Fire in an instant.
Following her were two exceptionally beautiful young women, their eyes also revealing a hint of allure.
Upon seeing Qiao Meiniang, Wang Yi had to admit that she was an incredibly tempting woman; even her autumn water-like eyes were enough to captivate anyone.
After a brief moment, two middle-aged men nearly two meters tall entered. They emanated a powerful aura that startled Wang Yi; he recognized this aura well—it was identical to that of the Yin Yang Elders but even more refined and concentrated.
Yin Yang Sect Leader Yin Yang Twin Fiends.
Next came several leaders of various factions. As time passed, more and more powerful individuals arrived at the Auction. Wang Yi roughly calculated that there were at least twenty-six Transcendent Realm Experts and dozens of Breakthrough Experts present. One could only imagine how much stronger the warriors from the Killing Fields were compared to those from the Song Kingdom.
"Ding!"
At that moment, an elder clad in white stepped out from behind the Auction's curtain; it was Zhou Hai. He smiled slightly and said, "Thank you all for coming. Your presence has brought great honor to my Source Auction House. I won't waste your time any longer; I now declare that the Auction officially begins."
As his voice fell, a beautiful woman emerged carrying a Jade Box.
"Five hundred years of medicinal age, one Blood Spirit Grass. The starting bid is one thousand Medium-Grade Origin Stones." Zhou Hai stroked his white beard and smiled, "This Blood Spirit Grass contains rich blood energy. Those practicing Blood Techniques must not miss this opportunity! With this Blood Spirit Grass, you can enhance the power of your Blood Techniques by more than double. In critical moments, it could save your life—truly a rare treasure."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yi remained expressionless. Although the Blood Spirit Grass could enhance the compatibility with Blood Techniques and strengthen his body, it was useless to him.
"I bid two thousand Medium-Grade Origin Stones."
Soon, a Young Master placed a bid.
"Three thousand Medium-Grade Origin Stones."
"Hmph, I bid five thousand Medium-Grade Origin Stones."
In the end, this Blood Spirit Grass was won by that person.
"One Thousand-Year Red Ginseng."
"Three eight-hundred-year Red Mulberries."
"One six-hundred-year Azure Frost Poria."
Within the span of a tea break, Wang Yi witnessed spiritual herbs that were nearly impossible to see in the Song Kingdom, truly an eye-opening experience.
According to the auction's custom, items of lesser value are generally placed at the front for bidding, with the more valuable items saved for last. It is during this time that the leaders of various factions compete fiercely. The Fire Essence that Wang Yi needed clearly belonged to this category, so he calmly sat in the VIP Room without a hint of impatience.
"Seventh-Rank Martial Arts Technique: Dragon Subduing Palm, starting bid two million Medium-Grade Origin Stones."
As soon as the words were spoken, the atmosphere in the entire auction instantly surged and became lively.
"Seventh-Rank Martial Arts Technique? My goodness, I didn't expect the Source Auction House to bring out such a good item this time."
On the second floor, in VIP Room 36.
"Unexpectedly, coming out this time, I could encounter such a good thing. We at the Yin Yang Sect must secure the Dragon Subduing Palm," Jueyin said.
"Second brother, the Yin Yang Sacred Text we cultivate is only a Sixth-Rank Martial Arts Technique. We must obtain this Seventh-Rank Martial Arts Technique," Jue Yang's eyes sparkled with excitement.
In the Forty-One VIP Room.
"In the past, it was difficult to even encounter a Sixth-Rank Martial Arts Technique. This time, there is actually a Seventh-Rank Martial Arts Technique. I swear I must have it," murmured an Elder with Long Eyebrows.
In the Forty-Seven VIP Room.
"Hehe, what I cultivate is merely a Sixth-Rank Martial Arts Technique. If I were to practice this Seventh-Rank Martial Arts Technique, my strength would surely increase significantly," said a man in a black robe coldly.
In the VIP Room, Wang Yi was momentarily stunned, revealing a hint of surprise on his face. He then clicked his tongue; after all, in the Song Kingdom, a secondary force like the Kaiyang Sect only possesses a Sixth-Rank Martial Arts Technique as their foundational skill. Only colossal entities like the Canglan Sect have access to Seventh-Rank Martial Arts Techniques.
However, here it was astonishing that someone was auctioning off a Seventh-Rank Martial Arts Technique. It was truly shocking, and he couldn't help but feel a tinge of curiosity about the original owner of this martial arts technique. But it was merely curiosity because he had cultivated more than one Seventh-Rank Martial Arts Technique himself.
"This set of Seventh-Rank martial arts, Dragon Subduing Palm, is being auctioned by a fallen family, so please rest assured that there is no falsehood," Zhou Hai said, quite pleased with the audience's reaction. He smiled and continued, "The preciousness of Seventh-Rank martial arts does not need me to elaborate. With it, establishing a first-rate force is not difficult at all. This opportunity is rare; do not miss out."
"Two million five hundred thousand."
"Three million."
"Four million."
Soon, the price soared to four million, rising at an astonishing speed.
"I am Li Yuanba; I bid six million and hope everyone will give me some face," he declared.
At that moment, a loud voice came from the Forty-One VIP Room.
Hearing the voice, Wang Yi was taken aback for a moment, then his expression changed. In the Killing Domain Space, he vaguely remembered having killed someone named Li Feng, and that Han Chen had threatened him that Li Yuanba would not let him go. Could it be that the Li Yuanba mentioned by Han Chen was this person?
Filled with confusion, Wang Yi looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man dressed in a black robe, exceptionally strong in stature. Particularly striking were his long white eyebrows, which made him unforgettable. However, what truly made Wang Yi wary was the man's cultivation level; based on his estimation, he was at least at the second level of Transformation Realm, a powerful figure indeed. No wonder Han Chen dared to boast.
"Li Yuanba is ruthless and merciless. Although he is only at the second level of Transformation Realm, he has cultivated a set of Thunder True Technique. Even when facing someone at the Fourth Layer of Transcendence Realm, he can still fight back; his strength is formidable."
"Indeed, what will be auctioned next are some rare treasures. The real competition will be among these long-established powerful figures or factions; we can only watch from the sidelines."
"Hmph, Seven Million."
A cold snort came from the thirty-sixth VIP Room.
"Hmph, although Li Yuanba is formidable, I can kill him as easily as cutting grass," Jue Yang said fiercely.
"I am Li Yuanba. May I ask who you are? I will personally come to inquire later," Li Yuanba's expression darkened as primordial energy surged within him, carrying forth with overwhelming primordial energy.
The voice was grand and contained primordial energy, immediately spreading throughout the entire Auction.
"Hmph, Li Yuanba, others may fear you, but I, Jue Yang, do not." Jue Yang coldly snorted.
"What? Is it Yin Yang Twin Fiends?"
"Hehe, this time Li Yuanba has kicked a metal plate; the Yin Yang Brothers have cultivated a set of Yin Yang Sacred Scriptures and their cultivation levels are already higher than his. They certainly won't take him seriously."
"Hmph, so it's the Absolute Sun Sect Master of Yin Yang Sect. In that case, I have no qualms yielding to you."
In the VIP Room, Li Yuanba's gaze flickered uncertainly, but considering the formidable strength of the Yin Yang Brothers, he realized that opposing them would lead to certain doom.
Subsequently, the Seventh-Rank Martial Arts Technique, Dragon Subduing Palm, was auctioned off by the Yin Yang Sect for seven million Medium-Grade Origin Stones.
"Cough, cough." Zhou Hai lightly cleared his throat and glanced around before saying, "Next up for auction is the Demon Crystal."
After his words fell, there was a long silence in the auction hall.
"Demon Crystal?"
In the VIP Room, upon hearing this, Wang Yi frowned. "Demon Crystal?"
"Demon Crystal?" Emperor Xie exclaimed in surprise.
"Demon Crystal?" Ghost Cold was astonished.
"Demon Crystal?" Fengyunxin's expression changed.
"Demon Crystal?" Qiao Meiniang paused her delicate hand that was playing with her hair.
"Demon Crystal?" The Yin Yang Brothers exchanged glances, both filled with confusion.
"Cough, cough, one Demon Crystal, starting bid two million," Zhou Hai frowned and repeated.
"Demon Crystal?" A Transcendent Realm Expert furrowed his brow and asked, "Zhou Laotou, are you joking? The demon race has been extinct for ten thousand years; how could there be a Demon Crystal?"
"Zhou Steward, what exactly is a Demon Crystal? Can you explain it to everyone?" a Breakthrough Expert spoke up.
"Yes, what is the Demon Crystal? We have never heard of it."
Zhou Hai nodded at the puzzled expressions of the crowd and explained, "The so-called Demon Crystal is a core belonging to the demon race, containing all the memories of this Demon. It is extremely important to the Demon. If the Demon Crystal is damaged, it is akin to our human race's Sea of Consciousness being harmed; it can lead to severe injury or even death. This particular Demon Crystal was discovered by a Transcendent Realm Expert from the Demon-Human Battlefield. This senior did not know what was contained within the Demon Crystal, so he entrusted our guild to auction it."
"Hehe, Zhou Laotou, it can't be that simple! The Demon and the Demon Crystal are supposed to be incredibly precious. If that's the case, why would someone put it up for auction?" a Transcendent Realm Expert asked with a grin.
"Senior, could there be something unusual about this Demon Crystal?" a Breakthrough Warrior inquired.
"This old man doesn't know, so let's ask Zhou Laotou!" the Transcendent Realm Expert shook his head.
"Everyone, please be quiet and let this old man explain slowly." Seeing that everyone was confused and unclear about the situation, and realizing that if this continued, the Demon Crystal might not sell at all, Zhou Hai cleared his throat and said, "The Demon Crystal belongs to the demon race. To uncover its secrets, one must use a Demon's spiritual consciousness to unlock it. Therefore, even that Transcendent Realm Expert would be powerless." After a pause, he revealed a bitter smile: "Moreover, due to the great distance since the Human-Demon War, this Demon Crystal has become somewhat fragmented. Most importantly, no one knows what type of Demon this crystal belongs to. If it is from a Demon Lord or a relic left by a demon king, it would indeed be invaluable. However, if it is merely from an ordinary Demon or a demon soldier's remains, then obtaining it would be utterly useless."
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd erupted in uproar.
"Good job, Zhou Laotou, how dare you fool us? Even if we obtain this Demon Crystal, how can we unlock it? Wouldn't that be a waste of effort?"
"Exactly! And even if we manage to unlock it, if it's just a single Demon's Demon Crystal, wouldn't that be a huge loss?"
The crowd began to chatter among themselves, belittling the value of the Demon Crystal, causing those who initially intended to bid on it to lose interest.
"Please calm down," said Zhou Hai, wearing a wry smile as he raised his voice. "Since everyone understands now, I won't hide anything. This Demon Crystal may possibly belong to a Demon Lord, or it could belong to an ordinary Demon. Of course, the most important thing is that no one can unlock it. That is why the senior entrusted our guild with its auction."
