Chapter 117: A Warm Opening
“Son, haven’t you been stuck at fifth-level dragon transformation realm for three years? Isn’t it because you haven’t been able to control your qi well? Today is the turning point for you!”
“Wife, look. Thankfully, you came with me. Isn’t this your hope of breaking through?”
“If I can get this Spirit Concentration Pill, I’ll definitely be able to break through…”
The sounds of conversation, clamor, and exclamations continued to ring out in the hall below the auction stage. Pairs of eager eyes were already staring fixedly at the pill in Miao Qing’s hand.
17,000 spiritual stones!
19,000 spiritual stones!
25,000 spiritual stones!
30,000 spiritual stones.
…
For an auction house in Lin City, a fifth-level treasure would only appear once every half a year. Who would have thought that it would be auctioned off as an opening item?
The Xu Feng Regiment leader, Xu Youqing, was also very surprised. Although he had been through many incidents, this Spirit Concentration Pill was still a rare sight! His breathing began to become heavy, and Xu Youqing made his bid.
50,000 spiritual stones!
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly froze because no one else could raise the bid.
[ Ding! Congratulations to host for successfully auctioning a mid fifth-level Spirit Concentration Pill! ]
[ You have triggered a 30-fold rebate! ]
[ You have obtained a mid sixth-level Spirit Concentration Pill! ]
…
Following the transaction of the first treasure, the atmosphere at the scene immediately became lively!
Seeing that the auction was successful, Miao Qing continued to speak. “Next is the second item – fifth-level Army Breaking Spear!”
As Miao Qing’s voice fell, two attendants appeared from behind. They carried a six-foot-long object on their shoulders. Their bodies were covered with a red velvet cloth.
After coming to Miao Qing’s side, Miao Qing reached out and gently removed the velvet cloth. A malevolent spear instantly appeared before everyone’s eyes.
A series of metal clanging sounds accompanied the intense fighting on the battlefield. The shouts of the soldiers, as well as the miserable cries of the enemies who fell to the ground in pain, entered everyone’s ears. At this moment, everyone present felt as if they had arrived at a tragic battlefield!
Then, the cries on the battlefield suddenly stopped! Instead, it was replaced by the sounds of gasps! The cultivators below the stage all stared with wide eyes at the six-foot-long weapon on the stage.
It was different from the fifth-level Spirit Concentration Pill, which only increased the possibility of breaking through to the next level.
Weapons, which could immediately boost one’s strength, had always been the most popular item in all types of auctions!
After Miao Qing explained the second item, even the five big clans in the VIP rooms above, stopped breathing. They were shocked by the Lin auction house’s magnanimous auction method and its rich collection.
“The starting price of the fifth grade Army Breaking Spear is 15,000 spiritual stones. Each bid must not be less than 3,000 spiritual stones!”
As Miao Qing’s voice fell, before the clan leaders in the VIP rooms could make a move, many people had already made their bids.
“18,000 spiritual stones!”
“21,000 spiritual stones!”
It could be seen that the people who were bidding at this moment were all people desperate for this item! Their faces flushed red from excitement. The price was basically close to the limit of their wealth.
However, the truly heavyweight contestants had only just begun to make their moves…
On the second floor of the auction hall, in the middle of the most luxurious VIP room No. 1, the eldest senior brother of the Battle Immortal Sect, Zhao Liren, was tempted!
“Junior Brother Lin Huaiyuan, this is your auction house. Could you tell the auctioneer not to auction this treasure? I’m willing to buy it at a high price.”
However, Lin Huaiyuan shook his head helplessly.
“Eldest Senior Brother, it’s not that I’m unwilling. It’s just that the auction house is under Lin Mo’s control. I don’t have the ability to interfere in it.”
“How many spiritual stones do you have on you? Let’s pool together and see if we can buy this item!”
While they were still hesitating, Xu Youqing, the commander of the Xu Feng Regiment had already bid again.
“40,000 spiritual stones!”
“55,000 spiritual stones!” This was the bid from clan leader Zhao Gongming in the VIP room.
“Clan leader Zhao Gongming, can you give this Army Breaking Spear to my son, Qi Yifei?”
In another VIP room, clan leader Qi Yueheng turned on the communication function and transmitted his voice to Zhao Gongming next door.
“My son, Qi Yifei, has just broken through and is missing a suitable weapon. You know, he has loved spears since he was young. A gentleman doesn’t steal what others love. This Broken Army Spear is exactly what I’m determined to get for him!”
“Clan leader Qi, I’m really sorry!”
“70,000 spiritual stones!” After saying that, Zhao Gongming changed his bid.
In another VIP room, Qi Yueheng looked at his son, Qi Yifei, and could only helplessly shake his head at him.
“80,000 spiritual stones!” Bai Wuheng seized the opportunity and made a higher bid.
This time, the second elder of the Lin clan did not come to the auction. Otherwise, he would have seen the disdainful smile on Bai Wuheng’s face.
[ Ding! Congratulations, host! The auction for the fifth-level Army Breaking Spear has been successful! ]
[ You have received 200 times the profit! ]
[ You have received a mid sixth-level Killing Spear! ]
…
Bai Wuheng’s bid caused a commotion in the auction hall on the first floor.
The first few bidders in particular did not hide the disappointment and despair on their faces!
Miao Qing walked up and said, “The third item in this auction, the fifth-level Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique! it has many uses and is extremely powerful!
“It can be used in battle. Once unleashed, all nearby enemies dare not approach. Otherwise, their bones and tendons will be broken!
“Each move is extremely powerful. There are a total of 108 moves. Once you have mastered them, you’ll be able to use a set of moves that are three levels higher than the previous one!
“It can also be used to forge weapons. It has the ability to condense the essence of ores, shorten the forging time, and increase the success rate of forging. It’s truly a treasure that cannot be found elsewhere.
“The starting price is 20,000 spiritual stones! Each bid must not be less than 5,000 spiritual stones!”
Due to the special effects of the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, Lin Mo was worried that if he did not explain it in advance, the value of the item would drop. Thus, he specially instructed Miao Qing to explain its features during the auction.
Miao Qing turned around and opened a small box made of black ironwood beside him. Immediately, a series of faint clanking sounds that sounded like metal being hammered were heard, and the sound waves were getting louder and louder.
This sound even drowned out the cries of the people in the auction hall!
“Wow! This is actually a martial technique that can accumulate attack power!”
