Chapter 2405: The Auction in Zhishui City Begins
"Hahaha, the Wang family's auction is finally going to be held. The finale of this time will definitely be a refining spirit object!"
"You look down on the Wang family too much. The momentum of the Wang family's auction this time is greater than the previous ones. How could they use a refining spirit object as the finale? I think it is very likely to be a spirit object that can impact the fusion stage, or a top-grade Tongtian spiritual treasure!"
"It may also be a sixth-level puppet beast, a spirit beast with rare bloodline, and a top-ranked spirit insect egg. Seventh-level elixir is also possible. The Wang family has too many things!"
"Yes, the Wang family's auction will definitely not disappoint everyone, but the competition is also fierce. Without enough spirit stones, you can't buy good things at all!"
The cultivators in the queue talked non-stop. They looked excited. Those who can participate in the auction are not simple people, and 100,000 spirit stones are not something that can be taken out casually.
Soon after, a large number of monks entered the Wanling Tower. The tower was very spacious, with an area of dozens of acres. There were nine floors that everyone could see, surrounded by densely packed seats and boxes. In the middle stood a platform a hundred feet high, supported by three white jade pillars, with dragons and phoenixes carved on it, shining with spiritual light, and obviously engraved with extraordinary restrictions.
On the tenth floor that they could not see, Wang Hao, Wang Wuyan, Tianchengzi, Xiaobai and others gathered together to discuss the work of the auction.
The preparations were naturally made long ago, and now it was just to check for omissions and see if there were any mistakes.
This auction gathered several combined monks. Once a mistake was made, losing face was a small matter, but losing the prestige that had been accumulated with great difficulty would be a big problem.
"Master, there are more than 100,000 people entering this time, and the entrance fee alone is more than 10 billion spirit stones," Xiaobai said excitedly. The Wang family had held auctions in the past, but the entrance fee was not high, only a few thousand or 10,000 or 20,000 spirit stones, and the number of participants was also less than 10,000.
Today's event has unprecedentedly high number of participants and high cultivation level of the participating monks!
"This is all small money. The key is to see what price the auction items can be sold for," Wang Hao said indifferently. Ten billion spiritual stones are really nothing to him. An ordinary seventh-level spiritual item is almost worth ten billion.
This time, the Wang family and the four joint business alliances prepared a lot of good things, one top-grade Tongtian Lingbao, three mid-grade Tongtian Lingbao, and five low-grade Tongtian Lingbao.
Top-grade Tongtian Lingbao is not common. Wang Hao expects to sell it for at least ten billion. There is always a premium at an auction.
In addition to Tongtian Lingbao, there are also elixirs, treasure talismans, puppet beasts, ten thousand-year spiritual medicines, various minerals, spiritual wood, spiritual water, etc.
The total income this time may create a terrifying number.
Of course, the income does not all belong to the Wang family. The Wang family's auction items only account for about one-third, another one-third belongs to the business alliance, and the other one-third is the items sent by major forces in recent days.
"Wuyan, Wenxian, you don't need to be nervous. You have hosted many big events. Just treat it as an ordinary time," Wang Hao comforted the two girls when he saw that they were a little nervous.
Not everyone can host an auction. You need to be thoughtful, eloquent, and have experience in dealing with emergencies. Your cultivation cannot be low...
Image is also important. If you want to bring goods, you will understand.
"It's a pity. There are so many treasures this time. Even I am tempted. I say, Wang Xiaozi, you are the same. You are willing to take out such good things," Tianchengzi said with some complaints.
Tianchengzi has read the auction catalog. Some things make him drool. He will also host the auction. Different categories will be hosted by different people. Wang Wuyan is responsible for the opening and closing, Wang Wenxian is responsible for elixirs, Tianchengzi is responsible for talismans, Xiaobai is responsible for spirit beasts and spirit insects, Wang Wuqing is responsible for puppet beasts, Wang Wucheng, Wang Wuqing and others are responsible for skills, instruments, spirit objects and other miscellaneous items.
"The purpose of this auction is not to earn a lot of spiritual stones, but to thoroughly make the reputation of Zhishui City famous and attract more cultivators to come. When we have enough manpower, we can better win the war against the alien race," Wang Hao explained lightly. Everything he did was for this purpose. Earning spiritual stones? The spiritual stones in his pocket have long been used up.
"Don't worry, the master will definitely not treat us badly," Xiaobai said with a smile. Wang Hao has never been stingy with them.
The others all nodded. Everyone present, who didn't rely on Wang Hao's support to get to where they are today?
"After the auction is over, I will give you ten years of vacation, you can use it freely, and I will give each of you a bottle of Haoyuan Dan," Wang Hao promised generously.
"Long live the master," Xiaobai shouted excitedly.
An hour later, all the guests entered the Wanling Tower, the gate was closed by prohibition, and the auction officially began.
The white jade platform was shining with spiritual light, and Wang Wuyan appeared on it. She was wearing a white robe with a golden gourd pattern embroidered on her cuffs, and the precious light kept flashing.
As the first city lord designated by Wang Hao, this auction was also a good opportunity for her to become famous.
"Everyone, please be quiet," Wang Wuyan clapped her hands, the sound was not loud, and it spread throughout the Wanling Tower.
Everyone was silent, and their eyes turned to Wang Wuyan.
"Thank you all for participating in the auction held by our Wang family and Yunhua Business Alliance. I am Wang Wuyan, responsible for the first phase of the auction. Before the auction begins, please taste the spiritual tea we provide."
Tens of thousands of maids in uniform appeared from all floors, carrying tea sets and walking into the private rooms. The customers in the private rooms were at least at the level of refining emptiness, and they could get a pot of spiritual tea, while those ordinary spiritual transformation cultivators could only get one cup, and there was also a difference in the grades.
It was not that Wang Hao was reluctant and treated them differently, but it took time for low-level cultivators to refine high-level spiritual tea.
This was an auction, not a place for cultivation.
In a luxurious private room on the ninth floor, Venerable Tianji sat upright, and Kong Debiao and more than a dozen Tianji Sect cultivators sat upright.
Venerable Tianji tasted a sip of spiritual tea, and his eyes were shining.
"This tea actually has the effect of strengthening the meridians. It is not as good as the seventh-level elixir, but the effect is better than the ordinary sixth-level top-grade elixir!"
The spiritual tea on the ninth floor is naturally the best. One kilogram of tea can be sold at a high price of several billion spiritual stones!
Kong Debiao and others were excited when they heard this, but without the order of Venerable Tianji, no one dared to touch the spiritual tea on the table.
Venerable Tianji suddenly fixed his eyes and looked at Kong Debiao, "Debiao, are you sure you got your refining spiritual objects from Wang Hao?"
"Yes, Grandmaster, I ascended with Senior Wang, and Senior Wang is a man who cherishes the past."
Kong Debiao stood up and answered.
"At that time, he was just a refining cultivator, right? How could he have extra refining spiritual objects for you?" Venerable Tianji's eyes were shining. His Tianji Sect controlled hundreds of caves, secret realms, and relics, but the output of refining spiritual objects was still very limited. It took a thousand years for the sect to produce a refining cultivator.
What about the Wang family? Thirty people increased in a thousand years? Fifty? I can't count them anymore!
"Grandmaster, Senior Wang has been to wild lands and dangerous places, and obtained many spiritual objects. His strength is far superior to that of cultivators of the same level, and he can even fight against enemies of higher levels. Many cultivators who harbored ulterior motives against him were killed by him. Every time Senior Wang went to explore the secret realm, the biggest gain was often not found by himself, but by those who had ill intentions and took the initiative to deliver it to him. I guess this is the reason for the rise of the Wang family. For example, Senior Wang had the last laugh during the Hanyue Cave Heaven incident!"
Kong Debiao said with a hidden meaning.
Tianji Venerable looked displeased, "Are you warning me on behalf of Wang Hao?"
"I dare not. I am telling the truth. When I was in the lower realm, I was also an opponent of Senior Wang and was almost killed by him. I know his ability!" Kong Debiao knelt down and kowtowed, explaining.
"Wang Hao, you are wrong. The ascended cultivator actually jumped into a real dragon," Tianji Venerable sighed.
