Chapter 278 Mo Tianxing
Immediately, with a low sound of metal friction, the floor of the auction platform slowly cracked, revealing a staircase leading to the ground, attracting the attention of everyone present.
In full view of everyone, Mo Tianxing slowly walked out of the passage, and the powerful aura emanating from him made the entire hall instantly quiet.
"Dear friends, my name is Mo Tianxing. I believe many of you here have heard of me. Today, our Black Emperor Sect is honored to hold this auction. As the sect leader, I would like to thank you all for coming." Mo Tian Xing's voice was calm and powerful, his eyes slowly swept across the venue, and his smile and voice echoed in the venue.
Mo Tianxing's opening remarks aroused chuckles from some powerful people in the VIP seats, and the atmosphere seemed very lively.
As a veteran force in the Black Corner Region, the Black Emperor Sect has a deep foundation and has made many friends over the years. Mo Tianxing himself has friends all over the world, and has more or less friendships with many powerful people present.
As bursts of laughter rang out, a smile appeared on Mo Tianxing's face. His eyes moved around the venue, and finally stopped at the box on the second floor where Xiao Ling and the others were.
"I know that everyone has been looking forward to today's auction for a long time, so I won't say more polite words." Mo Tianxing said with a faint smile, his voice echoed in the venue so that everyone could hear it clearly.
Under the gaze of many eyes, Mo Tianxing's smile contained a hint of seriousness: "However, I still want to remind everyone that everyone should know the rules of the auction. Today, I am sitting here in person, in front of so many people. Now, I have to say, if anyone dares to cause trouble here, I guarantee that he will regret it!"
The warning from the strong man of Douzong is naturally full of weight.
Mo Tianxing's cold words echoed in the auction house, and the originally noisy hall suddenly became silent. Even those guys who had always been bold and bold, under Mo Tianxing's emotionless gaze, couldn't help but put away some of their evil intentions, and their expressions changed slightly.
The strong men in the VIP box, although still chatting and laughing on the surface, chatting with the people accompanying them, seemed to pay no attention to Mo Tianxing's warning. But anyone with a discerning eye can see that they are just holding on to the scene and don't want to lose their identity in front of everyone.
In fact, in this huge auction house, the number of people who really dare to openly challenge the Black Emperor Sect can be counted on the fingers of one hand. Mo Tianxing's intimidation is enough to make most people think twice before taking action.
"Haha, I know everyone can't wait, so I won't take up too much of your time. So, let's get straight to the point."
Mo Tianxing smiled slightly on the stage, cupped his hands, and then slowly retreated behind the scenes. His goal has been achieved, and the atmosphere at the scene has been shocked by his words. Now, it is time for the auction to officially begin.
As Mo Tianxing left, the floor of the auction platform cracked open again, and several passages appeared. Immediately afterwards, a white-haired but energetic old man walked out with a smile on his face.
Behind the old man, a group of beautiful maids held silver plates in their hands, shuttling across the stage like light butterflies. They placed the silver plates respectfully on the auction stone platform, adding a sense of solemnity and anticipation to the upcoming auction. .
"Everyone, I am Zhang Feng, I will host this auction for you today. Let's not beat around the bush and go straight to the main course." The white-haired old man Zhang Feng pointed to the silver plate in front of him with a smile. On the plate lay a A pure white scroll.
"This fighting skill is called Tianyu Finger, and it belongs to the intermediate level of Xuan level." He continued to introduce, "Finger fighting skill has always been rare. Although it is a bit challenging to practice, once mastered, it can often produce unexpected effects in battle. Everyone here You are all experts and you should all understand the power of finger fighting skills."
"The true value of Tianyu's finger starts from a market price of at least 300,000 gold coins. But since it is today's opening auction, our sect leader specially set a preferential starting price, which is only 100,000 gold coins. The maximum price is 800,000 gold coins. Whoever bids first At this price, no matter how you bid later, this Tianyu Finger will belong to you. Opportunities like this don't come every day, so you should seize the opportunity." There was a hint of temptation in Zhang Feng's words, which was obviously stimulating the bidding. the interest of the person.
This old man is obviously a veteran of the auction house and has a lot of experience. With just a few words, he successfully ignited the atmosphere in the auction room.
This is not a small place, and one hundred thousand gold coins is not a big amount at all to most people present.
Moreover, as the old man said, the value of Tianyu Finger indeed far exceeds the starting price of 100,000 gold coins. Therefore, as soon as he finished speaking, there was a continuous sound of bidding in the auction room.
"I'll pay you 150,000 gold coins!"
"Two hundred thousand!"
"..."
In the VIP box, Xiao Ling and the others were not interested in these primary auction items. They just waited patiently for the appearance of Bodhi's incarnate saliva with the mentality of watching the excitement.
The atmosphere in the hall was extremely warm, and coupled with the old auctioneer's constant praise and incitement, every auction item was quickly sold at a high price, making the auctioneer make a lot of money.
This was true not only of the first one, but also of the following auction lots, each of which was bought for a price far in excess of its actual value. Driven by this heated atmosphere, the bidders seemed to become impassioned and forget to think calmly.
Xiao Ling secretly thought that if the auctioneer were replaced by a beauty like Mitel Yafei, the scene might be even crazier...
Of course, the reason why the auction was so lively was due to the Black Emperor Sect's meticulous preparations.
Every auction item is carefully selected and of high quality. It can be said that it is the highest quality auction that Xiao Ling and the others have seen over the years.
However, in the eyes of Xiao Ling and others, most of these so-called rare things are just tasteless and discarded chicken ribs, which are not enough to arouse their interest.
However, Elder Huo and Xiao Yan were interested in some precious medicinal materials, and they made several attempts to acquire these medicinal materials.
Zi Yan also took the opportunity to experience the fun of auctioning and took photos of several sparkling gems and exquisite jewelry. For a strong person who pays attention to strength, these may not be worth mentioning, but Ziyan seems to have a soft spot for these shiny things, perhaps because of her dragon nature.
Xiao Ling is rich and powerful, and since Zi Yan likes it, he naturally lets her play.
Time passed by, and the auction had been going on for more than an hour in this warm atmosphere.
As the quality of the auction items continued to improve, even some powerful people in the VIP box began to lose their control and joined the bidding.
The participation of these powerful people undoubtedly made the atmosphere at the auction more lively.
After all, this auction brought together many forces from all over the Black Corner Territory. Some of them did not like each other, and some even had deep hatred.
When meeting in such an occasion, it is natural that you have to add some trouble to the other party. Even if you don't really need a certain item, you have to increase the price desperately. As long as you can make your opponent feel distressed, you will feel happy. This kind of behavior that harms others but does not benefit oneself is a different kind of fun for them...
On the stage, as an item was sold, the old man wore a mysterious smile and took a silver plate from the hand of the maid on the side. On the plate was a scroll as red as flames.
"Everyone, this next fighting skill is definitely worthy of everyone's attention, because it is very special and very rare. It is a tape measure fighting skill!" There was a hint of excitement in the old man's voice.
"Although this kind of fighting skill is a bit unpopular, its level should not be underestimated, reaching the intermediate level of the earth level. It is said that it was left behind by a powerful man who shocked the mainland hundreds of years ago, and its value cannot be overstated. And metaphor."
When the words "Intermediate Earth Level" came out of the old man's mouth, even the powerful men in the VIP box couldn't help but cast concerned glances.
They were both curious and a little regretful.
Because among them, there is no one who uses ruler as a weapon.
In the private room where Xiao Ling and the others were, everyone sat around on the comfortable sofa, tasting the exquisite snacks and fresh fruits provided by the Black Emperor Sect, and chatting easily. At this time, Yao Chen and Yao Tianhuo also showed their soul bodies, observing every item displayed at the auction with great interest.
This was also Medusa's first time seeing the soul bodies of Yao Chen and Yao Tianhuo. She was a little surprised at first. She didn't expect that Xiao Ling and the others would be accompanied by the souls of two Dou Zun-level experts. Zi Yan I didn't tell her before.
However, after everyone explained, Medusa quickly accepted this fact and understood why Xiao Ling said that before. As long as she arrived in Zhongzhou, she would have powerful forces as her backers.
In Medusa's view, although Xiao Ling is young, his achievements cannot be achieved without his own talents and opportunities, but also with the help of these two former Dou Zun-level powerhouses. This also explains why Xiao Ling was able to reach such a high level of cultivation at such a young age.
Xiao Ling's eyes fell on the earth-level intermediate fighting skill "Liuhe Youshen Ruler" displayed on the stage. He turned to Yao Chen and said with a smile: "Yao Lao, what do you think about "Liuhe Youshen Ruler" Are you interested? This fighting style seems to suit your style."
Xiao Ling's words were not without purpose. Although Yao Chen is an alchemist and needs delicate skills, if he really wants to use his hands, besides his Bone Spirit Cold Fire, there is the powerful and heavy Xuan Zhong Ruler.
Yao Chen stroked his beard, waved his hand with a smile and said, "Haha, that's not necessary. I already have enough fighting skills, but that little guy named Xiao Yan might not be able to handle this "Liuhe Youshen" "I'm very interested."
Xiao Ling felt that Yao Chen's words made sense. Although Xiao Yan didn't get Yao Chen's Xuan Zhong Ruler, he still chose a good quality ruler as his weapon, and his "Flame Devouring Wave Ruler" has become one of his trump cards. If this "Liuhe Youshen Ruler" could fall into Xiao Yan's hands, it would undoubtedly make him even more powerful.
…
Under the eager gaze of everyone, the old man carefully took off the red scroll from the silver plate with both hands, then raised it high and showed it to everyone in the auction house with a smile. His voice echoed in the venue: "This tape measure fighting skill is called "Liuhe Wandering Body Ruler", and it was created by Venerable Liuhe who was a powerful figure in the mainland hundreds of years ago."
"This ruler technique is his signature fighting skill, and it is extremely powerful. The only drawback is that it is a bit unpopular. If you are not a person who has specialized in this technique for a long time, it may be difficult to control it." The old man added.
Venerable, this title only belongs to the strong men of the Dou Zun level, and it itself represents a kind of legend and power.
Hearing this title, there was a sound of exclamation in the auction room. Just like celebrity effect, the value of anything associated with this level will increase accordingly.
Therefore, although ruler weapons are relatively unpopular, this has not weakened people's interest in them.
Such a powerful fighting technique, even if it takes several years to adapt and learn, it is definitely worth it.
"The starting price of "Liuhe Youshenchi" is set at 2.1 million gold coins, and each increase in price must not be less than 10,000 gold coins. Everyone, start bidding now."
Looking at the auction house where whispers were ringing, the old man smiled and announced the start.
As the auction began, the atmosphere in the auction room became tense.
"Two million and two million!"
"Two million two hundred and fifty thousand!"
As soon as the old man finished speaking, someone in the hall impatiently shouted out the price, which attracted the attention of the people around him.
This number is already quite impressive. Originally, everyone thought that this level of fighting skills would only be interested in the big shots in the VIP box. Unexpectedly, there were also many hidden rich people hiding in the hall.
Bidding sounds came one after another, and the price rose accordingly.
In just a few minutes, the price was pushed up to 2.48 million, which has set a new record for the highest transaction price in this auction.
"Three and a half million!"
Suddenly, a young and determined voice sounded in the hall, and the price jump caused the entire auction house to boil instantly. All eyes followed the direction of the sound, and finally settled on the VIP seating area. However, due to the one-way glass design of the box, people outside cannot peek into the people inside.
Despite this, some well-informed sources have guessed the owner of the voice. The person in the VIP box was Elder Huo, the newly promoted Douzong powerhouse in Canaan College, and the young voice was obviously not him, and was probably one of his students or juniors.
In the box, Xiao Ling and the others naturally knew who the owner of the voice was. As they had guessed before, Xiao Yan showed a strong interest in the "Liuhe Youshen Ruler" and decided to bid.
The proposal of this price undoubtedly put tremendous pressure on other competitors in the auction house, and also made the atmosphere of the auction more tense and intense. Xiao Yan's one-time price increase of more than one million gold coins was undoubtedly a declaration to everyone that he was determined to win this fighting skill.
The appearance of "Liuhe Youshenchi" undoubtedly set off a wave of enthusiasm at the auction. Xiao Yan was determined to win this fighting skill, and he even did not hesitate to start a fierce bidding with other strong men in the VIP box.
Among them are the dialects of Demon Flame Valley and the green barbarians of Tian Snake Mansion.
However, Xiao Yan relied on his strong financial resources and finally succeeded in acquiring this fighting skill at a high price of 5.1 million gold coins. With Elder Huo, a powerful figure from the Douzong, as his backer, naturally no one dared to take Xiao Yan's idea lightly.
Those who were also interested in "Liuhe Youshenchi", although they were unwilling to accept it, could only complain in private after Xiao Yan made a strong move. If they really want to rob it, they still lack the courage. On the territory of the Black Emperor Sect, no one dares to act rashly.
Time passed quietly, and the atmosphere of the auction became more and more enthusiastic. As the auction progresses, the quality of the items appearing is getting higher and higher, and the prices are simply astronomical for ordinary people.
Therefore, most viewers can only watch the auction with a spectator mentality. However, it was a worthwhile trip to witness with one's own eyes the fierce bidding among the big forces for rare treasures.
As the auction entered the second half, a volume of earth-level intermediate skills called "Shadow Skill" was unveiled. It was finally sold for an astonishing price of more than nine million gold coins, pushing the atmosphere of the auction to a climax.
This price is not only staggering, but also reflects the extraordinary value of this exercise and the extreme desire of bidders for it. Every beating of the bidding was accompanied by a burst of nervous breathing in the venue, until the final decision was made, the entire auction venue was boiling.
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, the old man knocked the hammer with satisfaction. He looked around at the crowd below and said: "The items to be auctioned next are a bit unusual, but for some people with specific needs, There could be a lot of appeal.”
He smiled and waved, and with his movements, the floor behind the auction table slowly opened, and a dozen burly men laboriously carried a huge object covered in white cloth, and stepped onto the auction table step by step.
This sudden huge object immediately aroused the curiosity of everyone present, and many eyes turned to this mysterious object.
Xiao Ling also smiled at this time. He was very familiar with this item that was about to be revealed. It was the corpse of a demon phoenix that was about to break through to the eighth level. For those who know the goods, its true value It can even be exchanged for eighth-grade elixir level treasures.
It's just that most of those who know the goods don't have the courage to pocket such treasures.
When the huge object was carried to the stage with great effort by the big men, Ziyan sat next to it and suddenly wrinkled her small nose and complained: "This thing smells really weird. I really want to tear it apart with my claws." ”
Although the objects on the stage were covered with white cloth and were still some distance away from them, Ziyan could still smell the unique smell. It can be seen that the Taixu Ancient Dragon and the Heavenly Demon Phoenix are at odds with each other.
As the old man on the stage suddenly pulled, the white cloth covering the giant object fell down, revealing a huge monster corpse about ten feet wide, which appeared in everyone's sight.
