"Two million Medium-Grade Origin Stones? Buying this thing must mean your head has been knocked by a wooden fish."
"That's not great. Besides, the Demon has already gone extinct; who can unlock it? Buying it would be pointless."
Hearing this, Wang Yi couldn't help but nod secretly. Although the Demon Crystal was rare, it was useless in the hands of cultivators.
At that moment, in Wang Yi's Sea of Consciousness, the soul of Xuan Luo Holy Ancestor suddenly trembled.
Wang Yi raised an eyebrow, his gaze flickering as he thought, "Zhou Hai needs the Demon’s spiritual consciousness to unlock the Demon Crystal. The Holy Ancestor's soul should belong to Demonic Consciousness, right?"
"Alright, everyone knows now; the starting price is two million." Zhou Hai said loudly.
A long time passed, and no one in the audience spoke.
"One Demon Crystal, starting bid two million Medium-Grade Origin Stones." Zhou Hai's old face turned awkward, but he still shouted again.
"Zhou Steward, this Demon Crystal requires the Demon’s spiritual consciousness to unlock. It is useless for our human race. What’s the point of bidding such a high price?" A hoarse voice came from Wang Yi's mouth. He did this intentionally; although it sounded hoarse, it was very clear and reached everyone's ears.
"Zhou Laotou, quickly take this item away! Although the Demon Crystal is rare, it is completely useless to our human race." A Transcendent Realm Expert waved his hand.
"Yes, yes! Zhou Steward, quickly take this item away!"
"Alright! Since that's the case, I will take it away." Zhou Hai sighed helplessly and waved for someone to take it down.
After a while, Zhou Hai looked around and his gaze landed on Wang Yi's VIP Room. He announced loudly, "Three Eternal Fire Essences, starting bid three hundred thousand Medium-Grade Origin Stones." After a pause, he continued, "These three Fire Essences were taken from a ten-thousand-year-old volcano and are extremely rare. If someone who cultivates Refining Fire attribute techniques obtains them, their cultivation will surely be twice as effective with half the effort. There’s even a slight chance of refining a trace of fire power. This opportunity is rare; everyone should not miss it."
"Now we begin."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately bid three hundred ten thousand.
"Three hundred fifty thousand."
"Hmph! I, the Fire God, bid three hundred seventy thousand."
"I bid four million."
"I am the Master of the Flame Divine Palace, Hao. I hope my friends can show some favor, four million three hundred thousand."
In Room 62 of the VIP area, a middle-aged man dressed in a flame robe spoke.
"Hmph, who do you think you are, Hao? The Fire Essence is a Material Treasure; it belongs to whoever is capable. I, Feng Shenyu, bid four million five hundred thousand."
In Room 78 of the VIP area, a fierce-looking man shouted loudly.
"Hao, Feng Shenyu, although both of you practice Refining Fire attribute techniques, how can you compare to me, the Fire God? Four million seven hundred thousand."
In Room 87 of the VIP area, a thin man with bright red skin said.
"Five million."
Suddenly, a soft voice emerged.
"Who is this person? Hao, Fire God, and Feng Shenyu are all well-known figures and strong practitioners at the Breakthrough Ninefold Peak. How dare he compete with them? Isn't that courting death?"
"This is going to be interesting. Wu Hao and the others are very eager for this Fire Essence. With three pieces of Fire Essence, they could potentially break through to the Transformation Realm in one go."
"That's right. Although these three are not Transcendent Realm Experts, they have all practiced Refining Fire attribute techniques, making their attack power quite formidable. They have been famous in this tier for quite some time."
The one making the bid was Wang Yi. He was determined to acquire these three pieces of Fire Essence, so he raised his bid by two hundred thousand in one go to deter those with weaker finances.
"Hmph, friend number sixteen, do you have the courage to reveal your name? I would like to learn from you someday," the Fire God said angrily upon seeing someone daring to compete with him.
"No need for courtesy; I am just an unknown pawn. The Fire God need not take it to heart. As for this Fire Essence, as my friend Feng Shenyu said, it belongs to whoever is capable. If the Fire God wants it, just make your bid; why settle for less?" Wang Yi replied calmly.
"Good, good, good." Upon hearing this, the Fire God was so furious that he nearly exploded. After repeating "good" three times, he coldly said, "The Killing Fields are quite chaotic; my friend should be careful when going out."
Threat! A blatant threat!
But no one found it strange; the Killing Fields had never been about reason, only strength.
"You don't need to worry about that," Wang Yi said.
"Alright, this friend bids Five Hundred Thousand High-Grade Yuan Stones. Is there anyone else who wants to bid?" Zhou Hai asked.
Feng Shenyu and Wu Hao were about to place their bids when suddenly a voice echoed in their minds, "Brother Feng, Brother Wu, although I haven't seen that person, he is merely at Breakthrough Sevenfold. We three can work together to kill him, and then we can each take one of the three Fire Essences. What do you think?"
"Sounds good."
"Agreed."
A hint of killing intent appeared on the faces of Feng Shenyu and Wu Hao.
"Fifty thousand once."
"Fifty thousand twice."
"Fifty thousand three times."
Finally, Zhou Hai, feeling a bit regretful, had someone deliver the three Fire Essences to Wang Yi.
Wang Yi was overjoyed.
Ding!
With Zhou Hai's ringing sound, the entire Auction suddenly fell silent, and Wang Yi placed the three Fire Essences into his Storage Ring, his gaze turning towards the front stage. Everyone knew that the main event was about to begin.
"As you all know, I am from Source Auction House. Recently, we obtained a treasure map," Zhou Hai said, glancing around slowly. "According to our experts' assessment, this treasure map is very likely to lead to the tomb of a Void-Viewing Three Realms expert."
As soon as the words were spoken, the audience erupted in an uproar.
The Void-Viewing Three Realms, that is a true peerless powerhouse, a being that walks freely across the Yuan Continent.
"The tomb of a Void-Viewing Three Realms powerhouse, one can imagine how many treasures there are."
"Surely there will be countless spiritual herbs, divine weapons, and elixirs."
"The tomb of a Void-Viewing Three Realms powerhouse, this is indeed a treasure land!"
"Zhou Laotou, we have never seen the map; how do we know if it's real or fake? What if it isn't?"
This statement fell like a bucket of cold water on everyone's heads. Indeed, although the experts from the Source Auction House are knowledgeable, it does not mean they cannot make mistakes. What if it isn't?
"This old man cannot control that. Whether it is true or false, you all can decide for yourselves. Whether to bid is the same," Zhou Hai said with an indifferent expression. "The tomb of a Void-Viewing Three Realms powerhouse must contain valuable Material Treasures, and there will certainly be countless martial arts manuals. However, opportunities often come with great dangers; treasures are not so easily obtained. Otherwise, the original owner of this map would not have put it up for auction."
"So whether to bid on this map depends on your intentions?" After Zhou Hai finished speaking, he glanced around. "The map of the Keen Insight into the Three Realms powerhouse's tomb starts at five hundred thousand High-Quality Origin Stones."
As his voice fell, there was silence in the audience.
Yet Zhou Hai showed no signs of surprise on his face; all he had was confidence. He was confident that many people would participate in bidding for this map of the Keen Insight into the Three Realms powerhouse's tomb; it was just that various forces were still observing for now.
Wang Yi was also taken aback upon hearing Zhou Hai's words. He did not expect it to be the map of the Keen Insight into the Three Realms powerhouse's tomb. It is known that those who enter the Keen Insight into the Three Realms can live for five hundred years; just thinking about it is terrifying since ordinary people only live for about a hundred years.
"Hahaha, since everyone is being so polite, let me, Snow Without Trace, ignite this fire!"
A hearty voice came from a VIP Room and then said, "Five hundred ten thousand."
"Snow Without Trace? It's him! I didn't expect even he would be attracted by the map of the Keen Insight into the Three Realms powerhouse's tomb."
"Although Snow Without Trace is a Fifth Layer Transcendence Realm powerhouse, he is a person without any sect or affiliation. To think he could buy this map is simply wishful thinking."
"Well, it makes sense. With the three great kings here, how could they allow him to stay?"
Soon, Wang Yi learned the name of this person from the discussions around him.
"Brother Snow Without Trace, as a wanderer, why do you need to get involved in such matters?" Jueyin chuckled and said, "Five hundred fifty thousand."
"Everyone wants treasures; how could I, Snow Without Trace, be exempt from such desires?" Snow Without Trace replied with a calm smile, "Six hundred thousand."
"Hmph, six hundred fifty thousand," Jue Yang said coldly.
"Hehe, I, Qiao Meiniang, will offer seven hundred thousand. Brothers, please don't compete with a woman; let her have it!"
A soft voice like drifting cotton floated through the air, full of allure. Just hearing this voice made one want to see this beauty.
"Qiao Zongzhu, the graveyard is fraught with danger. Why would a woman like you wade into such murky waters?" Wu Cong smiled and said, "I, Blood Sect, will offer eight hundred thousand."
Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in amazement. The wealth of these superpowers was indeed not something ordinary forces could compare to; tens of thousands of High-Quality Origin Stones were just a trivial amount for them.
"Hehe, Sect Master Wu, I heard your son has died. Is that true?" Qiao Meiniang's eyes flashed with a hint of intrigue as she covered her mouth and chuckled, "Eight hundred fifty thousand."
"Hmph."
A cold grunt came from Wu Cong's VIP Room. He coldly stated, "Qiao Zongzhu, as a woman, you should be careful with your words. Do you really think that with Lu Yu backing you up, my sect would be afraid of you?"
"You... Wu Cong, if you mention that person again, don't blame me for making you regret it," Qiao Meiniang said angrily.
"Sect Master Wu, since you know this, why make things difficult for Miss Qiao?"
At that moment, a hearty laugh echoed from another VIP Room. "Miss Qiao, since you're interested in this map, why don't we cooperate?"
"I didn't expect Romantic Swordsman Lu Yu to be here as well. Now there's going to be a good show; Lu Yu has been pursuing Qiao Meiniang for quite some time."
"Yes, yes, with Lu Yu being at the Seventh Layer of the Transformation Realm, and with Qiao Meiniang involved, this Killing Fields is unbeatable except for the Three Kings."
"Perhaps, the North King will be taken by Qiao Meiniang."
The crowd was abuzz with discussion.
Upon hearing this, Wang Yi felt numb; the number of strong individuals in the Killing Fields had far surpassed that of the Song Kingdom. However, what he was most interested in was who would end up with this map. After all, the three kings had yet to make their move.
"Hmph, Lu Yu, let me tell you, don't dream on. I will never fall for you," Qiao Meiniang's angry voice came from the VIP Room.
"That's fine. I will win you over with my sincerity. Besides, I, Lu Yu, am charming and dashing; you, Qiao Meiniang, can't possibly dislike me," the Romantic Swordsman Lu Yu said with a smile. "Don't worry, Mei Niang, I'll handle these flies."
"Hmph." Qiao Meiniang snorted coldly and fell silent, clearly used to Lu Yu's antics.
"Lu Yu, saving a beauty also depends on whether you have the strength for it—ninety thousand," Wu Cong said coldly.
"The esteemed Blood Sect Leader offers only ninety thousand? That's a bit disappointing!" Lu Yu replied with a laugh. "One hundred thousand."
Upon hearing this, some factions that were considering bidding immediately withdrew; one hundred thousand High-Quality Origin Stones was no small amount. Even a force like the Source Auction House would find it somewhat challenging to produce that sum.
