"I declare that the auction has officially begun!"
As the white-haired old man finished speaking, the atmosphere of the auction was immediately ignited, bringing cheers from the audience.
The first item to be auctioned was a weapon - a slender sword, as white as jade, with a blood-red magic core embedded in the connection between the hilt and the blade.
The combination of two obviously incompatible colors gives people a very strange sense of conflict.
But often the weirder something is, the more valuable it is.
"This sword is called 'Snow Mountain'. It is made of meteorite iron buried under the snow mountain for hundreds of days.
Inlaid on it is a fire-attributed magic core of a fifth-level magic beast 'Volcano Spider'.
When the two forces of ice and fire collide, the 'Snow Mountain Sword' in front of you is formed. It can cut iron like mud and is tough."
As the old man introduced the topic, people's interest grew.
Finally, the old man quoted the starting price.
"Starting price: 300,000 gold coins!"
This is just an appetizer. This weapon is not even worthy of the attention of the VIPs on the second floor.
But for the ordinary people on the first floor, these are what they really want to steal.
Firstly, they don't have the money to get the real good stuff, and secondly, they can't compete with the people on the second floor.
They only have a chance if they get things that those people on the second floor don't like!
"Three hundred and ten thousand!"
"Three hundred and twenty thousand!"
"Three hundred and fifty thousand!"
...
The price was shouted out faster and faster, and the latter had just caught up as the former finished speaking.
"This sword is beautiful."
Yun Yun was also interested in that weapon.
"Why would such an ugly magic core be embedded in such a beautiful sword? If it were replaced with an ice-attribute magic core, it would be perfect."
This is basically how girls evaluate things. The first thing they look at is the attractiveness index. Things that are not good-looking are basically rejected.
"Sister Yun Yun wants to change her weapon? Don't you have one?" Jiang Ping keenly captured the key information.
"My sword have been used for too long. Although it is useful, since I became a Dou Ancestor, I feel that my sword can no longer withstand my strength." Yun Yun also has troubles.
As her strength increases, her weapons can no longer hold up. This feeling is very depressing.
Jiang Ping suddenly had an idea and said, "Since Sister Yun Yun needs a weapon, that's perfect. I have a sword here that should be suitable for you."
As he said this, Jiang Ping took out the 'Qian Kun Sword' from the system space, which he had never used since he got it.
"Here, this sword is called 'Qian Kun'. It is made of Heaven and Earth Stone. It has an amplifying effect on sword skills. It can make a Profound Class Top Level Dou Technique exert the power of an Earth Grade."
"Qian Kun Sword..."
Yun Yun murmured softly and took the Qian Kun Sword from Jiang Ping.
Her palm gently stroked the slender scabbard, and a spiritual force that penetrated heaven and earth was transmitted to Yun Yun's heart through her palm.
In an instant, she seemed to be able to understand the power of heaven and earth and feel the infinite mysteries of the vast starry sky.
"I like this sword." Yun Yun's face was full of joy.
"I'm glad you like it. Then it is yours." Jiang Ping waved his hand generously, like a local tycoon.
Compared with the Qian Kun Sword, that crappy 'Snow Mountain Sword' below is not worth mentioning at all.
However, the Snow Mountain Sword was sold at a high price of 450,000 and was bought by a little fat man.
Sure enough, no matter what time it is, the thing that is most in short supply at the auction is rich people.
A sword opened the order of the auction, and the following auction items came one after another, all of which were various good things.
Among them were some rare Alchemy Pills, Magic beasts' cores, armor, and even Magic beast eggs on the table.
But unfortunately, Jiang Ping never had the chance to encounter a treasure like the Torch Dragon Egg again.
Now, any magic beast eggs below the ninth level are of no appeal to him.
But soon, a scroll that the white-haired old man asked someone to take out immediately attracted everyone's attention.
It was a scroll that was as white as ice and even emitted bursts of cold air, which instantly lowered the temperature in the auction a lot.
"Everyone, good stuff is coming…"
The white-haired old man stretched out the last part of his voice, whetting everyone's appetite.
"This is a volume of the Ice Dou Technique, which we found from the remains of a senior in a thousand-year-old cold mountain. It is called 'Nine Nether Mysterious Cold Seal', and its grade is: Earth Grade Medium Level!"
Earth Grade Medium Level!
Surprisingly, these words did not cause an uproar in the audience immediately. Instead, everyone was stunned for a moment.
After a while, a surging wave like the sea broke out, and countless pairs of fiery eyes stared at the roll of Dou Technique, as if they couldn't wait to take it for themselves.
Upon seeing this, the guards of Black Mark City quickly strengthened their defenses just in case.
Seeing everyone's reactions, the white-haired old man was very satisfied.
He didn't say the starting price until everyone's appetite was whetted.
"Nine Nether Mysterious Cold Seal, starting price: one million gold coins!"
"This Ice Dou Technique is quite suitable for Old Hai." Jiang Ping chuckled.
"And it's Earth Grade Dou Technique..."
Yun Yun looked at Jiang Ping, their eyes met, and they both understood what the other meant.
They must get it!
How can they miss an Earth Grade Dou Technique?
Although the ice-attributed Dou Technique is not suitable for them, it is suitable for Hai Bodong, and there are other disciples in Qianling Pavilion who can cultivate the Ice Dou Qi.
Even if there is no one in Qianling Pavilion who are suitable for Cultivation of this Ice Dou Technique for the time being, this is Earth Grade Dou Technique after all. Even if no one cultivates it in the end, Jiang Ping will not give it up.
...
"One million and three hundred thousand!"
"One million and a half!"
"One million and eight hundred thousand!"
"Two million three hundred thousand!"
In just a short while, the price was raised, and those who were bidding were all big shots on the second floor.
At this price, they are the only ones who can continue to bid.
And the price continued to rise, and soon reached three million.
"Three million and one hundred thousand!"
Fan Ling of the Blood Sect called out an extremely high price.
At this price, even many people on the second floor would be discouraged.
For a moment, the entire auction fell into silence.
A hint of pride appeared on Fan Ling's pale face.
Their Blood Sect Cultivation is a Yin-yang technique, so this Ice Dou Qi is suitable for them.
If they can get it, it will undoubtedly be like adding wings to a tiger!
Many forces have stopped bidding.
The forces that want it don't have the financial resources, and the forces that have the financial resources don't need this Dou Technique.
There are still many good things to come, and they can't lose the competition for subsequent Dou Techniques because of a useless Dou Technique.
Even if this is an Earth Grade Medium Level Dou Technique.
"Three million and one hundred thousand for the first time."
"Three million, one hundred thousand for the second time."
"Three million and one hundred thousand..."
Just as the white-haired old man was about to make the final decision, a cold and elegant voice slowly sounded.
"Five million."
