C1142 The Venue Gradually Turned Lively
Looking at the numerous seats in the auction house, even Sun Bing couldn't help but feel speechless. The number of people in the auction house had far exceeded Sun Bing's expectation. It seemed to be even grander than the previous auction on the Prodigy Roll.
As soon as the two of them entered the auction hall, a female servant with a rather revealing figure walked forward and said respectfully, "May I know where the seats of the two esteemed guests are?"
With a casual glance, one could see the temptation emitting from the lovely figure in front of them. However, it didn't attract Sun Bing's attention. His expression remained the same as before, and he slowly handed over the invitation that he had bought earlier.
When she saw the seat on the invitation card, the respect on her face became even stronger. A hint of fawning appeared in her eyes as she said, "Then, please follow me."
After saying that, she twisted her thin waist that looked like a water snake and walked in front of her seductively. Every movement she made seemed to carry a kind of charm. Unfortunately, no matter if it was Sun Bing or Mu Hua, they all looked straight ahead, which made the maid feel disappointed.
Under the lead of the maid, Sun Bing and Mu Hua walked along the auction house. Before long, they arrived at the highest point. There were many small private rooms built here, and they were the VIP seats.
The rest of the people had obviously noticed the two people in the last VIP seat. Immediately, their brows furrowed slightly, and they were thinking about the identities of these two strangers. However, they couldn't find any clues about them.
Only Du Lin and the others saw Sun Bing and Mu Hua turning around and entering the private room. The back of that person seemed to be somewhat familiar. They felt that this was very important to them, so they couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
After entering the private room of the distinguished guest, they instantly discovered that all the noise in the outside world had disappeared without a trace. When they raised their heads, they could see the grand scene on the auction stage through a transparent window. The sound coming from this place could also be clearly transmitted through the formation. It was truly a marvelous scene.
The auction did not begin at this moment because all the VIPs had already entered. Most of the customers in the ordinary seats had flocked over. They sat densely on the seats below, and every one of them had a look of excitement on their faces.
It took an hour for the auction to start. Only then did all the seats below be filled. Along with a long bell sound, it was obvious that the auction had finally begun.
Sun Bing slowly opened his eyes. After that, he could see the entire auction hall. A pale white energy circle emerged at a speed visible to the naked eye. It slowly enveloped the entire auction hall like a cage, enveloping the entire auction hall.
Mu Hua couldn't help but feel surprised when he saw this scene. "I didn't expect that all of them would use this kind of protection. It seems like there are a lot of treasures appearing this time. Otherwise, they wouldn't have expended so much energy to defend everything."
At this moment, Sun Bing's brows were also filled with curiosity. As for the ordinary cultivators below, there was no need to talk about them. He could feel the heat of the outside world even though he was in the VIP room.
Just as everyone was looking forward to it, the center of the auction hall suddenly split open. After that, a figure covered in a black robe slowly appeared on the high platform. As soon as this person appeared, a powerful momentum burst out in all directions.
Under this terrifying momentum, even the originally noisy voices were completely suppressed. When everyone looked at the black figure standing on the tall platform, a trace of fear flashed across their eyes.
"As expected of the black market that has dominated for over ten thousand years. Just the person who stood out first has already reached the Ninth Level of the Life and Death Stage. He is definitely an expert who has gone through hundreds of battles."
Sun Bing looked at the black figure standing on the auction stage. A trace of surprise flashed across his eyes as he spoke slowly.
Mu Hua also nodded his head slowly, indicating that he agreed with this point of view. He couldn't help but add, "The power behind this place is enormous. It's said that there's even a saint behind it. Otherwise, it's impossible for it to develop to such a huge extent."
"Today, I am indebted to all of you for your attention, and I have come to participate in the auction held by my black market. Thank you." While Sun Bing and Mu Hua were talking, the black shadow on the stage finally spoke. His voice was extremely old, as if he had reached the age where he would stop at nothing.
However, his voice was still clearly heard in all directions, even in the private room of the distinguished guests. At this point, the black figure couldn't help but pause for a moment before continuing.
"I'm sure you all know what might happen in the black market during this period of time. Many new friends have come. In order to let you understand us, I would like to explain the rules of the black market:
The black market auction doesn't care about the origin of the item. As long as you can take it out, we won't reject it. Furthermore, we won't reveal any information about our customers. In the end, we can't cause any trouble at the auction, or we'll fight to the death "
When he said the last sentence, his words seemed to contain a hint of killing intent. Many cultivators with weaker wills even felt cold sweat appearing behind them, and their hearts were filled with fear.
However, no one refuted. After all, the black market had been standing here for tens of thousands of years, and it was unknown how many auctions had been held. Such a rule could only be created by generations of iron-blooded people.
If one did not have the ability to do so, the black market would not be able to maintain its reputation for tens of thousands of years. Therefore, even if one had some small thoughts in his heart, they could only sit quietly at this moment.
The intimidation had already ended. Realizing that his words had caused the consequences he wanted, the old man immediately cupped his hands and walked towards a corner of the auction venue. Then, like a nail, he stood there without making a sound.
If one did not look at the other party, one might even think that he was just a dead person. Just this skill alone had once again intimidated everyone present.
But very quickly, the atmosphere instantly became heated. This was because the floor on the auction stage once again flickered with traces of mysterious fluctuations. Following that, an old man with an aged face but full of kindness and kindness appeared on the stage. Clearly, this was the real auctioneer.
Immediately, the old man stood on the auction stage. He could only see the space distorting and a golden tray appeared on the stage. On the tray was an ancient book that looked very old. It even emitted a faint glow, which was very eye-catching.
"Thank you for coming to my black market's auction. This is a saber technique called the 'Half-Moon Thunder Slash'. It has already reached the level of a supernormal ability. It is said that when one cultivates it to the extreme, it can release three thousand thunderbolts with a single strike. It can kill all enemies.
Moreover, after cultivating it, you can comprehend the profound meaning of thunder. I'm sure you all know that. Even among the three thousand profound meanings, the profound meaning of thunder is extremely powerful, especially the bane of evil. There's no need to say anything about its value."
After the auctioneer finished speaking, the entire auction hall was boiling with excitement. After all, divine abilities were nothing to Sun Bing or some other scions.
However, to the rogue cultivators, there were very few ways for them to obtain divine abilities. The only way to obtain the divine ability was to explore the ruins. It was a heaven-sent opportunity.
"Alright, let's cut to the chase. The price of this divine ability is 300,000 high grade spiritual stone. I hope everyone can bid for it."
As soon as he finished speaking... Each rogue cultivators was using up their own wealth to compete with each other. Very quickly, the price rose from 300,000 high grade spiritual stone to a million high grade spiritual stone. At that moment, the progress slowed down slightly.
The final bid of this divine ability had actually reached two million high grade spiritual stone. Even Sun Bing couldn't help but tremble in fear when he heard this price. He couldn't help but admire the means of the black market. This price was definitely a little too high.
