The Black Emperor Sect's auction was held in an open-air plaza, which looked somewhat like a circular arena, reminiscent of the ancient Roman Colosseum.
When Xiao Yan and his companions arrived at the auction venue, it was already packed with people, with every seat taken.
Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor, who both preferred quiet, couldn't help but frown at the overwhelming crowd.
Fortunately, Xiao Yan and his group had a private box, which spared them some unnecessary trouble.
Around the auction venue, numerous Black Emperor Sect guards stood watch, their sharp weapons gleaming with cold light as they protected the entire plaza. In the sky above, several Black Emperor Sect Dou Huang Elders stood casually, their majestic Dou Qi emanating from their bodies, causing a sense of oppression among the surrounding people.
"Hey, look over there, that beauty in the cheongsam, tsk tsk, absolutely stunning."
"Use your brain before you speak, don't drag me down if you want to die. That's Ya Fei of the Mittel Auction House from Xiao City."
"Xiao City?!"
"Did you see the young man next to Miss Ya Fei? That's Grandmaster Xiao Yan, the Alchemist Grandmaster who could refine Seventh Grade Pills that attracted Pill Lightning at the Sect Assembly more than a year ago!"
"Hiss! Seventh Grade!"
"Hmph, otherwise, why do you think Xiao City can attract so many alchemists? I heard that half of the alchemists in Xiao City have received guidance from Xiao Yan."
Whenever someone entered the VIP seats, it would cause low exclamations from the surrounding crowd. Those who could enter here were mostly powerful figures and forces with great reputations in the Black-Corner Region. These big shots were truly rare sights for the ordinary people of the Black-Corner Region.
And Xiao Yan was naturally a prominent figure in the Black-Corner Region.
After Xiao Yan and his group entered the VIP box, the Black Emperor Sect Elder who led the way couldn't help but gulp.
"As expected of a Grandmaster, Seventh Grade, tsk tsk, to reach Seventh Grade at such an age, the Young Sect Master is far behind, much more powerful than the former Medicine Emperor Han Feng."
"The people around Master Yan are not simple, I can't see through them at all, they give me the same feeling as when I face the Sect Leader."
After Xiao Yan and his group entered the box, the noisy sounds from the outside were immediately isolated by a magic array.
The entire box was very luxurious, with a long sofa and a table in front of it filled with various fruits and an auction number plate, used to bid by raising the plate.
Looking down, they had an excellent view of every corner of the auction center.
In addition, the box was also equipped with a female attendant, who was good-looking and dressed revealingly. She quickly stepped forward, deliberately showing herself to Xiao Yan as she bent over.
"Master, this way please, you can tell me if you need any service."
Such an obvious hint! Xiao Yan was immediately stunned. Just then, a cold cough came from behind Xiao Yan, shaking him out of this scene of spring.
"Ahem, no need, I'm not used to being served by strangers." Xiao Yan touched his nose and took out a Third Grade Pill from his Storage Ring, which he had made for practice, and gave it to the maid as a tip.
Seeing the 'tip' given by Xiao Yan, the maid immediately showed a smile but also some regret, and slowly retreated under the cold gaze of Little Fairy Doctor.
Xiao Yan naturally sat slowly in the middle of the long sofa, with Ya Fei sitting on his right, after all, no one knew more about auctions than her. If there was a bargain, she would bid for it, and raising the plate would naturally not be done by Xiao Yan, the 'Grandmaster'.
It didn't fit the identity of a Grandmaster!
Xiao Yan patted the empty seat on his left and looked at Little Fairy Doctor and said, "Not giving me the pleasure?"
Little Fairy Doctor heard this, her pretty face flushed slightly, and after giving Xiao Yan a charming glance, she gently adjusted her skirt and sat down elegantly with a little distance from Xiao Yan.
Zi Yan didn't care so much, she was already eating. Although these fruits didn't have much energy, they were sweet! Zi Yan liked sweets the most.
The Little Lion King and the Great Lion King were like two guards, protecting on both sides.
The appearance of Xiao Yan and his group also attracted a lot of attention, especially Little Fairy Doctor's unique temperament, and Ya Fei's naturally charming appearance, which naturally attracted attention. Of course, more envious and jealous eyes were staring at Xiao Yan.
How hateful!
Xiao Yan ignored these gazes and slowly closed his eyes to wait for the start. This time, no matter who it was, he was determined to get the Bodhi Transformation Saliva, even if it meant using the Soul Points he possessed.
About half an hour later, Mo Tianxing in a golden robe appeared on the auction stage.
Xiao Yan slowly opened his eyes, and a wisp of Soul power swept over Mo Tianxing.
"His strength is quite strong, reaching the Four-Star Dou Zong." Xiao Yan murmured.
"Well, he should be comparable to Xie Bi Yan of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate." Little Fairy Doctor said calmly. Xie Bi Yan was already dead. For the current Little Fairy Doctor, this Mo Tianxing was not too tricky.
After Mo Tianxing gave a long opening speech, an auctioneer with white hair came out and took out a snow-white scroll to start the auction.
"Heaven Feather Finger, Mystic Middle-Rank. Finger Dou Techniques have always been quite rare. Although cultivation is slightly difficult, they can have a surprising effect when fighting against others. Everyone here is not ordinary, so you must know how difficult it is to deal with some finger Dou Techniques."
Picking up the scroll, the auctioneer smiled and said, "The auction price starts at 100,000 Gold Coins, and the maximum price is 800,000. Whoever reaches this price first, no matter how high anyone bids later, this Heaven Feather Finger will be yours. Everyone, you can't miss this opportunity."
Xiao Yan yawned; he had no interest in Dou Techniques of this level, but Ya Fei still raised her bidding paddle. After all, as a businesswoman, Ya Fei wouldn't let go of any opportunity to make money. If she could win the bid at a reasonable price, she could put it up for sale in the Mittel Auction House.
Ya Fei was essentially stocking up!
Unfortunately, the Heaven Feather Finger exceeded Ya Fei's expectations, so she didn't acquire it.
Next up were some Mystic Middle-Rank and High-Rank Cultivation Methods and Dou Techniques, as well as Fifth Grade weapons and protective gear. Although Ya Fei made some bids, she failed to find any bargains, so Xiao Yan still hadn't bid on anything.
"The next Dou Technique is quite interesting. This is a very rare Ruler Technique, called Six Directions Roaming Body Ruler, an Earth Rank Middle-Grade Dou Technique!" At this moment, the auctioneer took out a red scroll from the tray.
"This Dou Technique was created by a man named Six Directions Venerable, and this Ruler Technique is also his signature move. It is extremely powerful, but the only drawback is that the Ruler Technique is slightly unconventional. Unless one is willing to cultivate it for several years, it will be quite difficult to master."
"Hmm?!" Hearing that it was a Ruler Technique, Xiao Yan sat up straight. After all, he was not only skilled in using Strange Flames, but the Mystic Heavy Ruler was also his trademark.
Xiao Yan had been practicing with the Mystic Heavy Ruler since he was young, and he didn't plan to change weapons. Heavy Rulers and heavy swords were similar in that they were both bladeless and heavy.
"What's wrong? Are you interested?" Looking at Xiao Yan, who suddenly sat up straight, the Little Fairy Doctor couldn't help but smile. She naturally knew that Xiao Yan's best weapon was the massive Black Ruler, so it was only natural that the so-called Six Directions Roaming Body Ruler would pique his interest.
Ya Fei looked at Xiao Yan and asked gently, "Do you want to bid on it?"
But at this moment, Xiao Yan's expression was a little strange, because he now somewhat understood Hun Xuzi's feelings back then.
He looked down on it a little!
"But... Earth Rank Middle-Grade is a bit low-level."
Earth Rank Middle-Grade! Too low-level!! As soon as these words came out, even Zi Yan rolled her eyes at Xiao Yan. You're showing off too much! This is an Earth Rank Middle-Grade Dou Technique created by a Dou Zun. What more do you want from a Dou Huang! Generally speaking, a high-level Dou Huang who can master an Earth Rank Middle-Grade Dou Technique can gain a huge advantage among his peers. And you still look down on it!
"Oh well, let's buy it first. This kind of unconventional Dou Technique shouldn't be too expensive." Xiao Yan nodded. Let's buy it first, bring it back and study it. Maybe I can combine the Six Directions Roaming Body Ruler to comprehend my own unique Dou Technique.
Ya Fei covered her mouth and chuckled, nodding.
"Hehe, the starting price for this Ruler Technique is 1.8 million Gold Coins, with a minimum increment of 10,000 each time." Looking at the whispering auction hall, the white-haired old man smiled slightly and said, "Well... everyone, please bid."
Hearing this price, Xiao Yan's eyelids couldn't help but twitch. They're taking advantage of the fact that Ruler Techniques are unconventional! Back then, the Three Thousand Lightning Movement was still a black market item, but it sold for nearly ten million Gold Coins. And this Six Directions Roaming Body Ruler is at least Earth Rank Middle-Grade, but it's actually so cheap? Is this reasonable!
However, what Xiao Yan didn't expect even more was that after the starting price was announced, no one in the audience bid.
Seeing Xiao Yan's confusion, Ya Fei explained, "Ruler Techniques are rare, and even Ruler weapons are rarely seen. There are even fewer people who practice them, and like heavy swords, heavy Rulers are very difficult to master. Without more than ten years of foundation, it is impossible to master them."
Xiao Yan agreed with Ya Fei's statement. He had been practicing the Mystic Heavy Ruler for ten years now, and he had barely mastered the Flame Splitting Tsunami Ruler. It was indeed very difficult.
But after all, it was an Earth Rank Middle-Grade Dou Technique, so some forces began to bid, planning to find a bargain for their young disciples to start practicing from scratch.
In the end, Ya Fei seized the opportunity and successfully bid for it at three million Gold Coins.
After this Earth Rank Middle-Grade Six Directions Roaming Body Ruler, more and more precious items gradually began to appear.
For example, many precious Medicinal Herbs and even some strange Pill Recipes. Naturally, all the precious Medicinal Herbs were directly swept away by Xiao Yan with pills.
It should be known that Xiao Yan was not only famous, but also possessed Strange Flames, so the value of the pills he refined was inherently high.
Just as the auction was nearing its end, Zi Yan suddenly stood up, her eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a fierce glint, and her body faintly flickered with Purple Light.
This sudden scene startled everyone, wondering why Zi Yan was acting like this.
"What's wrong, Zi Yan?" Xiao Yan frowned and asked. He knew that Zi Yan was from the Void Ancient Dragon Race, a very mysterious and powerful race. Xiao Yan didn't know if Zi Yan had discovered something.
"I seem to know what that thing is." At this moment, Zi Yan pointed to the auction stage. As soon as she finished speaking, a hole opened in the middle of the auction stage, and a mass of rotten flesh-like corpses rose up with a creaking sound.
Before the auction item even came out, Zi Yan had already sensed it! The corpse was not small, and its size was quite large, as much as ten zhang wide. As soon as the corpse appeared, many people frowned, because a stench emanated from it.
This Magical Beast had been dead for a long time, and its flesh and bones were in a state of being dried. The most striking thing about this thing was the pair of huge wings that had become like white bones. This pair of wings was quite strange, like jade, emitting a faint fluorescent light. Anyone with discerning eyes could see that these wings actually contained some kind of strange energy.
However, to be able to maintain some energy after being dead for so long, this Magical Beast's level must have been very high before it died.
Xiao Yan's Soul power swept over, but even though Xiao Yan's Soul power had reached the Spirit Realm, he couldn't find anything special about this Magical Beast.
"Hehe, this Magical Beast corpse was accidentally encountered by our Black Emperor Sect in a mountain stream. After the Sect Leader personally identified it, this Magical Beast should be a peerless ferocious beast that was about to break through the Seventh Order and advance to the Eighth Order!" The white-haired old man said with a solemn expression.
Hearing this, even the Little Fairy Doctor was shocked. A half-step Dou Zun?! At this time, Xiao Yan looked at Zi Yan. Zi Yan pondered for a while and then nodded, saying, "He's not wrong. It should have wanted to evolve its bloodline and break through the barrier of the Eighth Order, but it failed and died."
Don't think that Magical Beasts have long lifespans and strong bodies, but the difficulty for Magical Beasts to break through the shackles of their bloodlines is very high. Just look at Cai Lin and you'll understand. Especially the Eighth Order, whether it's for human cultivators or Pill Refining, it's a chasm.
"Hehe, everyone, since our Black Emperor Sect obtained this Magical Beast mummy, it has been perfectly stored and has not suffered any damage. And I can also guarantee to everyone that our Black Emperor Sect has absolutely not touched this Magical Beast mummy. In other words, we don't know what's inside this Magical Beast. Similarly, as for whether there is a super Magic Core inside that is about to break through the Eighth Order, we also don't know." The white-haired old man said with a smile.
Hearing the old man say this, there was a burst of heated discussion in the audience, but for experts like Xiao Yan, it was disdainful. There were countless methods of investigation, and there was no need for dissection at all.
Just now, Xiao Yan had swept over it with his Spirit Realm Soul power and found nothing, so it was very likely that this mummy had no Magic Core.
"Buy it, it not only has a Magic Core but also essence blood within its body, and it's at the half-step Eighth Order." Zi Yan's eyes narrowed, dropping a bombshell! Hiss! Ya Fei, who was at the side, slightly opened her small mouth. Eighth Order! A Seventh Order Magical Beast Magic Core was already a rare item that could only be exchanged for other goods, and this one even had essence blood. Its value was inestimable! This was a huge bargain!
Xiao Yan smiled, patted Zi Yan's little head, and said, "It wasn't in vain that I painstakingly refined pills for you, helping you break through to the Seventh Order."
Zi Yan snorted coldly, shaking her head and saying, "Of course, if I hadn't advanced to the Seventh Order and learned some information from my bloodline, I wouldn't be sure what kind of Magical Beast this is."
The Little Lion King on the side asked curiously, "Zi Yan-jie, what kind of Magical Beast is it?"
Zi Yan shrugged her shoulders and said indifferently, "It's nothing, just an ordinary Heavenly Demon Phoenix Race."
