On the morning of the auction's opening, Guan Yue brought He Yunzhu to Ruyi Auction House.
As Guan Yue stepped into the auction venue again, he was deeply shocked. An incredibly vast and brand-new auction hall had risen from the ground, capable of accommodating millions of people, and it was exquisitely designed and lavishly decorated. It was truly remarkable that such a massive project could be completed in just three months!
Guan Yue looked around; it was a subspace, and within it was a very large plaza divided into three sections: the auction area, the daily trading area, and the VIP reception area.
The auction area alone could hold over a million people. Surrounding it were enormous display screens made up of countless Cores, which could clearly showcase the details of the items being auctioned on stage and transmit the auctioneer's voice clearly to nearly a million ears present.
Although it was early, already millions had entered the auction venue. The crowd surged like a black ocean. However, due to the pressure from the Supreme Being of Eternal Realm, order at the venue remained remarkably stable.
An entry ticket cost a White Jade Ruby, and of course, the prices for thousands of private boxes, exclusive seats, and elegant rooms were even higher. It seemed that Ouyang Xinyi had made quite a fortune again.
This auction would last for three days.
At this moment, Guan Yue truly experienced what it meant to be in a sea of people, what it meant to be densely populated, and what it meant to be amidst a cacophony of voices.
Guan Yue found Ouyang Xinyi with He Yunzhu. As soon as Ouyang Xinyi saw Guan Yue, he exclaimed, "Guan Yue, you little rascal! You have such good wine and didn’t tell your brother? That’s just unfair!"
Guan Yue laughed as well. "Brother, you can't hide anything from you." Saying this, he took out the Celestial Wine he had prepared earlier and handed it to him. "Ten pounds. Give her something to do," he said regarding He Yunzhu.
"One word." Ouyang Xinyi's eyes were fixed on that bottle of Celestial Wine, and a woman behind him immediately took He Yunzhu away. He Yunzhu had been following Guan Yue without knowing that he intended to arrange for her to work at Ruyi Auction House. She was overjoyed and bowed repeatedly to both Guan Yue and Ouyang Xinyi before leaving with one last glance back.
Ouyang Xinyi sniffed at Guan Yue's Celestial Wine excitedly and couldn't help but say to Guan Yue, "Brother, if you can find more of this wine and bring it to the auction, my event will be even more perfect."
"Alright, since brother has said so, I will provide a thousand pounds of Celestial Wine for you to auction." Guan Yue immediately expressed his agreement; this was definitely a good thing for him, and he had no reason to refuse.
Ouyang Xinyi was overjoyed: "Brother, do you really have a thousand pounds? This is a fine wine that has never been seen in our world. Where did you get it?" Ouyang Xinyi's voice became much rougher, his breathing suddenly tense, and his pupils dilated significantly, making him appear very heroic.
"In the future, I can provide you with a thousand pounds every year for auction. As for the source, it's fine to tell you. This belongs to someone else, but because we have a close relationship, they allow me to use it. The quantity depends on their mood; it could be more or less. But I guarantee your thousand pounds each year," Guan Yue fabricated, making Ouyang Xinyi ecstatic: "Good. Good, good! With this, my auction will be very successful."
Saying this, he led Guan Yue to a very secluded place, twisting and turning until they arrived at an underground space.
Ouyang Xinyi eagerly urged Guan Yue to take out the thousand pounds of Celestial Wine. When Guan Yue produced the wine, Ouyang Xinyi looked at him with longing: "Brother, you know that I have widely announced this auction to the world. So many royals and Great Powers have come, but there aren't many items for auction. I originally wanted to ask you to visit a few more Celestial Stone shops for Gambling on Stones, but you weren't very interested, so I've been worried. Now I can only rely on you. Could you give me another thousand pounds of Celestial Wine? Even if we count next year's in advance. Otherwise, I'm really worried about disappointing the guests. You know that if they cause trouble, we will suffer."
Ouyang Xinyi's tone was both coaxing and threatening, and his expression resembled that of a courtesan seeking favor. Guan Yue couldn't bear to deny his wish and took out another thousand pounds of wine for Ouyang Xinyi, who finally smiled.
Guan Yue thought about it; this was also an opportunity. Besides, there would be at least millions of guests from every empire across Yongning Continent, making it a great chance for the wine to gain fame.
Thus, he pulled out three thousand pounds again: "Brother, this is your supply for the next four years; I'm paying it all upfront now."
Ouyang Xinyi laughed heartily: "My silly brother! Just give me five years' worth next year instead. With these five thousand pounds of wine, I can handle quite a few people. But I still need to set aside a thousand pounds; otherwise, my friends will take my life."
As he spoke, he divided the Celestial Wine into several small portions for easier auctioning. After dividing it up, he handed it to a girl standing beside him and then said to Guan Yue: "Guan Yue, you are my good brother. As your elder brother, I will definitely not treat you unfairly." His expression was very serious at that moment; he was speaking from the heart.
This auction was made successful because of Guan Yue!
Five thousand and ten pounds of Celestial Wine had now become Ouyang Xinyi's greatest trump card. Because Origin Tools and Celestial Soldiers were limited in number while Celestial Wine could be divided into many portions for people to frantically bid and compete over.
All the prominent figures from the Southern Source Empire basically attended this largest auction in history. In the end, many guests who couldn't enter the main auction hall sat on the ground in another square where numerous Core displays were set up so they could participate in real-time bidding as well.
Of course, they must first verify their funds even if they are sitting outside to qualify for part of the bidding.
The auction finally began. The massive protective formation at the venue slowly opened, and millions of voices echoed: "Origin Tool, Origin Tool, Origin Tool, Celestial Soldier, Celestial Soldier, Celestial Soldier."
The first to appear was Ouyang Xinyi himself. When he stepped onto the auction stage, the entire auction hall erupted in cheers.
Once everyone quieted down, Ouyang Xinyi slowly spoke: "I am here today representing the Heavenly Intent Auction House and myself to warmly welcome all friends who have traveled from afar. As you can see, this auction is unprecedented in scale and extraordinary in its grandeur. I am very pleased that with the enthusiastic participation of all of you, this auction will surely go down in history.
In this auction, we have many items for bidding, including elixirs, Supreme Dan Pills, divine artifacts, Celestial Soldiers, and Origin Tools. I am also delighted to inform everyone that we will be auctioning off four thousand and ten pounds of Celestial Wine. We have obtained exclusive rights to auction this Celestial Wine, and in the future, we will have a certain amount of this divine liquor participating in our auctions every year. We have verified that this Celestial Wine does not originate from our world. Moreover, it has been tested at the Celestial Pavilion and Myriad Flower Pavilion with astonishing results."
Ouyang Xinyi's words caused an uproar in the audience.
Exclusive auction rights for Celestial Wine?
Does that mean that the Heaven's Will Auction House will have a large supply of divine liquor in the future? More people began to inquire about what this Celestial Wine was. What kind of wine dares to be called Celestial Wine?
Instantly, the venue was filled with chatter and inquiries.
This was exactly the effect Ouyang Xinyi wanted to see. Of course, Guan Yue also enjoyed this situation.
Ouyang Xinyi proved to be a shrewd businessman; he initially auctioned off five pounds of divine liquor. He stated that anyone who offered half the price could obtain it. This meant that if you bid ten million, you would only need to pay five hundred thousand to get those five pounds of Celestial Wine, but you had to drink it on the spot so others could see the true effects of consuming it.
In reality, half price and full price held no significance at an auction; it was merely for show.
Within the auction hall were the bosses of the Celestial Pavilion and Myriad Flower Pavilion. They stood up and demanded that only their establishments be allowed to participate in the bidding as a show of support for the liquor industry. However, their proposal was drowned out by angry shouts from others.
The first five pounds of Celestial Wine were purchased by a Loose Practitioner from the Vast Empire, with the final bid being ten million White Jade Rubies per pound.
Upon drinking it, he immediately broke through his realm. A massive surge of Azure Light shot into the sky, causing a stir among everyone present! How could there be such Celestial Wine?
To make matters worse, a rich aroma of wine had already formed in the air above, lingering lightly and refusing to dissipate, even for Liang Sanri. It overshadowed the drinks brought by many guests who had come to quench their thirst.
Just five pounds of Celestial Wine was enough for over a million people to catch a whiff of its lingering fragrance, truly astonishing everyone in attendance.
Everyone rushed to ask that Loose Practitioner how it tasted. He was still immersed in the excitement of having consumed the wine, repeatedly exclaiming, "Good wine, refreshing. Good wine, it's really damn refreshing." Although his voice was not loud, it clearly reached the ears of everyone present, as if he were advertising Celestial Wine.
By the time another ten pounds of wine were auctioned off in the afternoon, the aroma still lingered heavily in the air. Thus, when a royal family offered thirty million Golden Jades for ten pounds of Celestial Wine, the entire crowd unanimously shouted, "Drink it, Celestial Wine, drink it, Celestial Wine."
Unable to resist the crowd's demands, the royal individual drank the ten pounds of Celestial Wine on the spot. Besides an even richer aroma wafting out, he unexpectedly ascended into the sky uncontrollably. Waves of blue light radiated from his body, enveloping him in a shimmering blue glow.
Seeing this spectacle, the crowd erupted!
Especially those older Disciples who had long been stuck at one realm without breaking through became excited. They would spend any amount of money to achieve a breakthrough because only by advancing their realm could they extend their lifespan and enjoy a vibrant life.
The atmosphere was truly electrifying. Millions shouted together: "Celestial Wine, we want Celestial Wine."
At that moment, the Boss of Celestial Wine House stood up and trembled as he spoke: "You are wasting such treasures." He had been unable to auction off any Celestial Wine and could no longer hold back his feelings; his heart ached for these fine wines.
