Chapter 968 The Auction Begins

(4, 0);

Following the sound of a melodious bell, the lights in the auction dimmed.

Then beams of light illuminated the platform at the front of the auction, and a man in white clothes walked onto the platform under the gaze of everyone.

"Good morning, everyone. I am the host of this auction. The auction is now officially starting!"

The man in white spoke seriously to all the people attending the auction, his tone neither humble nor arrogant.

Although his voice was not loud, it was cleverly transmitted to everyone's ears through some kind of instrument set up in the auction.

As soon as he finished speaking, a servant came over pushing a cart. On the cart was an auction item covered by a red cloth.

"Let's take a look at the first lot."

The cart came in front of the man in white, who smiled and said, then lifted the red cloth on the cart.

"This auction item is a plant of ice marrow flower. After our appraisal, it is well preserved and has reached the age of a thousand years!"

"The starting price is 50 million baht, and each increase in price must not be less than 2 million baht."

On the tray of the cart, an ice-blue flower that looked like an ice sculpture was blooming. After the red cloth was lifted, bursts of cold air began to emanate from it.

Everyone in the auction could feel a strong chill, and this was because the space inside the auction was too large. If it were changed into a closed room, the chill emitted by this ice marrow flower could even cause harm to some people with lower strength.

"Oh my god! It's actually a Ice Flower. This kind of flower only appears in extremely cold places. In order to find it, you need both strength and extremely high luck!"

“What a fuss… The list released before the auction said that there would be Ice Marrow Flowers today. Didn’t you miss it?”

"Although the Ice Marrow Flower is extremely rare, it doesn't seem to have many uses. The only widely known use is for refining Ice Shining Pills."

"If that's the case, then the only person who would take a shot at the Ice Marrow Flower is an Alchemist, and one of a relatively high rank."

When the first auction item appeared, the auction hall was immediately filled with noisy discussions.

However, there were not many voices of surprise, because some of the higher-quality items that would appear at the auction had already been displayed on the auction list.

For some auction items, people already have some knowledge about them in advance.

At this time, a rough voice sounded.

"Fifty-five million!"

This sound seemed to be the beginning, and then one quotation after another appeared.

"Fifty-eight million!"

"Sixty-five million!"

…

"Ninety-three million!"

In just a few breaths of time, the price of the Ice Marrow Flower was almost raised to twice the starting price.

However, when the price reached this level, many people gave up the fight, and only four people were still holding on.

"One hundred and twenty million!"

With the last bid, the Ice Marrow Flower was taken into the hands of a white-haired old man.

From the discussions of the people around him, Lin Yue learned that the old man was an eighth-grade alchemist and was quite famous in the Dongsheng Dao Realm.

After the old man took a picture of the Ice Marrow Flower, he did not stay in the venue, but left with a few people around him.

It seems that he intends to hand over the Ice Marrow Flower directly to the auction house and is not interested in the subsequent auction items.

No one was surprised by this, because many people are in this situation, they only like one item in an auction or they don't have enough money to buy only one item.

Although the auction of the Ice Marrow Flower seemed to be highly competitive, it did not cause much impact in the venue.

Because although the Ice Marrow Flower is rare, it has few uses, and most people did not bid for it. And although the auction price of more than 100 million Yaozhu is not low, it is definitely not too high here.

Compared to this, more people focused their attention on the man in white, looking forward to the appearance of the next auction item.

The silence didn't last long, and soon the next auction item was delivered to the man in white.

After the red cloth was lifted, the man in white introduced himself to everyone in the same tone as last time.

"The second auction item is a piece of armor. It is charged with energy using the Yao Qi on a daily basis, and can resist damage at critical moments."

"If it's fully charged, it can at least withstand three attacks from the Ten Thousand Souls Realm. The weaker the attack, the more times it can be blocked. But one thing you need to be careful about is that if you continue to use it after the charge is exhausted, there is a high probability that it will be damaged!"

"The starting price is 100 million baht, and each increase in price must not be less than 5 million baht."

Although this piece of armor has many restrictions, as soon as the man in white finished speaking, a continuous stream of bidding sounds rang out in the venue.

"One hundred and ten million yoy baht!"

"One hundred and forty million yoy baht!"

"Two hundred million baht!"

The price instantly soared to 200 million Yao Baht, and there was no sign of stopping.

Obviously, compared with the previous Ice Marrow Flower, this piece of armor is more popular among the public. Not only are there many people participating in the bidding, but the price is also increasing very quickly.

After a dozen breaths.

"Three hundred and fifty million yoy baht!" (5,0);

A middle-aged man in the VIP seats near the podium shouted.

As soon as the price was announced, the venue fell into silence.

For a while, no one bid against him anymore.

On the high platform, the man in white also began to speak.

"Three hundred and fifty million at a time."

"Three hundred and fifty million twice."

…

"Congratulations to this gentleman for his successful bid!"

Finally, this piece of armor was bought by a middle-aged man for 350 million Yao baht, and the man looked very excited.

From the aura of the middle-aged man, it can be seen that his strength is in the late stage of the Ten Thousand Souls Realm.

This piece of armor that can withstand several attacks from the Ten Thousand Souls Realm is very suitable for him.

At this time, the third auction item also appeared on the platform.

"The third auction item is a pill recipe, the Eternal Divine Elephant Pill, a seventh-grade pill that can temporarily increase a huge amount of strength."

"The starting price is 500 million baht, and each bid increase must not be less than 10 million baht."

This time's auction items finally caused heated discussions in the venue. Dan Fang is an extremely precious existence no matter where it is.

What's more, this is a recipe for a seventh-grade elixir.

Even though the reserve price has been raised to 500 million Yao Baht, there are still many people eager to try and show their skills.

The vast majority of these people are alchemists, and some of them are not alchemists, but their identities are related to alchemists.

"One billion baht!"

The first bid doubled the previous price, but the atmosphere in the venue was not dull at all, and soon another group of people followed suit and started to bid.

"One hundred and one hundred million baht!"

"1.5 billion baht!"

…

This auction lasted significantly longer than the previous ones. It was not until a stick of incense had passed that the venue gradually quieted down.

Finally, the recipe for the Eternal Divine Elephant Pill was bought by an old man at a price of 3.53 billion Yaozhu.
