Shi Ruxuan's beautiful eyes swept across the crowd.
“The next item up for auction is the Qian Yuan Flame Fire, ranked thirty-third among the Nine Provinces Divine Flames.”
Some auction items are announced in advance.
However, some items receive no prior publicity.
The reason is simple: you only need to promote a select few items that will attract a sufficient number of powerful individuals.
There's no need to advertise everything.
Sometimes, a suddenly revealed auction item can incite a frenzy.
This is because everyone might desire the item.
But without prior knowledge or preparation, their interest is impulsive and prone to hasty decisions.
For example, no one knew the Qian Yuan Flame Fire would be available!
“Although the Qian Yuan Flame Fire ranks thirty-third, it's still formidable, still one of the top Divine Flames in the world, and can drastically change and improve any martial artist. If a Celestial Emperor can refine and control the Qian Yuan Flame Fire, their improvement would be unimaginable.”
Of course, that's how it is.
Once a martial artist reaches the Celestial Emperor realm, further improvements become scarce.
The Qian Yuan Flame Fire might seem to rank thirty-third.
But that thirty-third rank is not low at all.
Even a Divine Flame ranked one hundredth would cause a scramble across the Nine Provinces if it appeared.
You could even auction this Divine Flame before Pure Yang Celestial Crystals without issue.
“Qian Yuan Flame Fire! The Fifth Month Chamber of Commerce actually put the Qian Yuan Flame Fire up for auction?”
“This kind of divine object's value cannot be measured in Yuan Spirit Crystals!”
“For someone to offer such a heaven-defying item to the Fifth Month Chamber of Commerce for auction, they must possess an even higher-level Divine Flame, thus deeming the Qian Yuan Flame Fire insignificant!”
“Qian Yuan Flame Fire! Qian Yuan Flame Fire!”
"… …"
The moment this item appeared, the crowd became restless.
Those who initially targeted other items immediately shifted their attention to the Qian Yuan Flame Fire.
Xu Fengqiu possesses the World Cleansing Sacred Lotus Flame, so he naturally doesn't need this.
“Qian Yuan Flame Fire, starting bid: one million Divine-grade Yuan Spirit Crystals, with a minimum increment of one hundred thousand per bid. Bidding begins now.”
Subsequently, the auction entered a heated phase due to the emergence of the Qian Yuan Flame Fire.
“Xu Fengqiu would never be here for the Qian Yuan Flame Fire; he has the World Cleansing Sacred Lotus Flame.”
Wan Yannian said.
“But it seems we must have this Qian Yuan Flame Fire.”
Mo Wenfeng pondered.
For him, he might not need it.
However, if this item could be refined by his son, it would undoubtedly be a massive improvement.
“Sect Leader Mo, we came here to stop Xu Fengqiu, not to bid on items for ourselves. Please remember that,” Wan Yannian said.
“Indeed, but Sect Leader Wan, can't our two major sects outcompete a single Xu Fengqiu?”
“However, there's a premise: we don't know what Xu Fengqiu is bidding on. Therefore, we need to acquire everything he might bid on, which will be extremely costly. Plus, some items will inevitably face fierce competition. What if he wants the Pure Yang Celestial Crystals, and we don't have enough Yuan Spirit Crystals to bid? What then?”
These words made Mo Wenfeng calm down.
“You're right.”
Although they are two major god-level forces.
Don't forget.
Those who came to bid this time are also top-tier forces.
There are even god-level forces among them.
They may not be able to expend as many resources as our two major sects.
But, after all, our two major forces still need to spend many Yuan Spirit Crystals to bid on other items.
Moreover, they consumed a great deal of Yuan Spirit Crystals in the previous battle with Xu Fengqiu.
As of now, they still can't determine who Xu Fengqiu is, and can only rely on speculation.
The Qian Yuan Flame Fire also propelled the auction into a frenzy.
In the end, the god-level force of the Tianyang Empire, the Nine Sun Dynasty, won the bid for million Yuan Spirit Crystals.
million Yuan Spirit Crystals is a significant expenditure, even for a god-level force.
Furthermore, everyone knows the strength of the Nine Sun Dynasty.
The Nine Sun Dynasty's continuous bidding caused many forces who had intended and planned to pay a huge price to continue bidding to stop.
They didn't want to form a grudge with the Nine Sun Dynasty because of an auction.
“Thank you, everyone.”
The elder of the Nine Sun Dynasty cupped his fist.
“Congratulations to the Nine Sun Dynasty for winning the Qian Yuan Flame Fire. Now, the next item up for auction…”
Subsequently, a woman walked up.
Shi Ruxuan unveiled the red cloth.
A gray-blue crystal, about the size of a table tennis ball, was presented there.
“Primordial Stone.”
“Even the Fifth Month Chamber of Commerce hasn't had any news about the Primordial Stone in recent years. The Primordial Stone can be said to be a top-grade crystal that has become extinct, and its effect is…”
“Of course, the Primordial Stone has significant limitations, and there aren't many opportunities to use it. Starting bid: 500,000 Divine-grade Yuan Spirit Crystals, with a minimum increment of 100,000 per bid. Bidding begins now.”
The auction of the Primordial Stone was not as lively.
Yes, the Primordial Stone is indeed extremely rare.
However, as Shi Ruxuan said.
There aren't many opportunities to use it.
Simply put, those who need the Primordial Stone need it urgently, but if you have the Primordial Stone in your hand, you may not find an opportunity to use it for hundreds or thousands of years.
There were naturally people bidding.
The people who raised the price were also very restrained.
They all added the minimum 100,000 each time.
“ million Yuan Spirit Crystals, is there anyone else bidding?”
Shi Ruxuan glanced at the crowd.
The Primordial Stone being auctioned for million Divine-grade Yuan Spirit Crystals was a bit beyond Xu Fengqiu's imagination.
But on second thought, as something that might be even rarer than the Seven-Colored Sacred Lotus, it's normal.
“ million.”
Xu Fengqiu spoke.
The Sect Leader of the Seven Nights Sect of the Tianyang Empire, who bid million, narrowed his eyes and looked at Xu Fengqiu.
“Your Excellency, this Primordial Stone is still somewhat useful to my Seven Nights Sect. As for Your Excellency, its use should not be too great, right? Please give me some face,” said the Sect Leader of the Seven Nights Sect.
“Two million.”
Xu Fengqiu directly said again.
Hua — —
As soon as these words came out, the crowd was in an uproar.
Then, one by one, they showed suspicious and playful expressions.
There's a good show to watch.
Although the Seven Nights Sect is not a god-level force, it is not weak in the Tianyang Empire.
“Good, good, good, interesting! Three million!”
The Sect Leader of the Seven Nights Sect said coldly.
He came for this Primordial Stone.
He urgently needs the Primordial Stone.
