Chapter 938: Continental Powers Gather

"It's okay," Luo Li chuckled. "It's just an auction. Are you worried about leaving it to Xiaoxiao?"

"It's not that I'm worried," Mu Ze scratched his head and said worriedly, "I'm definitely confident in leaving this matter to Xiaoxiao, but I'm afraid someone will cause trouble today. She has a temper that can easily explode..."

As they were talking, they had already reached the third floor. Before Mu Ze could finish, he heard Lan Xiaoxiao's gritting teeth coming from behind him, and Mu Ze's whole body froze.

"You're such a fool, Makize! You're secretly saying bad things about me behind my back, right?! Am I such a fool? Would I be provoked by them and do something stupid in such a situation?"

Mu Ze immediately slid down on his knees and apologized, "I was wrong, I was wrong. You are wise and brave."

"That's right," Lan Xiaoxiao shook her hair, looking a little proud.

Luo Li watched the two bickering and couldn't help but chuckle.

She patted Mu Ze's shoulder, signaling him not to be too nervous.

Then he turned to Lan Xiaoxiao and said, "Xiaoxiao, you are well aware of today's situation. With all the forces gathered together, the slightest mistake could lead to unnecessary trouble. You and Brother Wanbai must strike a good balance."

Lan Xiaoxiao put away her joking expression and nodded seriously: "Sister A Li, don't worry, I know the importance of this. I will definitely follow the procedures of today's auction and will never let anyone look down on us for not leaving the city."

Luo Li smiled and nodded, her eyes swept around, and after confirming that everything was ready, she said softly, "It's almost time, we should go in."

The three of them walked together to the VIP building on the second floor.

Looking down from above, the hall was already full of people. People from various forces were sitting or standing, talking to each other in low voices. The atmosphere seemed calm, but undercurrents were actually surging.

Luo Li's eyes swept through the crowd at the fence on the second floor and quickly locked onto several key figures - Mu Zhengnian, the master of Qingfeng Valley, several young masters of the Southern Alliance and the Northern Alliance, as well as Shen Fuzhou and others from Wanjian Mountain.

Their expressions were different, some looked calm, while others had flickering eyes, obviously they had their own thoughts.

Luo Li retracted her gaze and whispered to Mu Ze and Lan Xiaoxiao, "According to the plan, keep an eye on their movements, especially those forces that act in secret."

Mu Ze nodded in agreement, while Lan Xiaoxiao blinked and showed a sly smile: "Don't worry, I have someone keep a close eye on you."

Lan Xiaoxiao glanced at the time and said hurriedly, "The auction is about to start. Ah Li, the box is reserved for you!"

"I understand." Luo Li waved her hand.

After saying goodbye to Lan Xiaoxiao, Mu Ze also said, "Ali, you go to the private room. Brother Luo, Teacher Shi Heng and I have to take care of the situation at the auction house."

Luo Li nodded, "Okay, see you later."

Mu Ze smiled and nodded, "See you later."

Luo Li walked to the box that had been reserved in advance, handed Xiao Liu and the others out, and sat on the soft couch waiting for the auction to begin.

About a quarter of an hour later, almost everyone was sitting in the lobby on the first floor, and those on the second floor had returned to their private rooms.

And the auction officially began.

Lan Xiaoxiao walked up to the stage, smiling and speaking in a clear voice: "Dear guests, welcome to the Bulicheng Auction. Today's auction items are all rare and precious. I believe you will not be disappointed."

Following her introduction, the first item was presented - a long sword emitting a faint cold light, with ancient runes engraved on the sword body, faintly revealing a sharp sword energy.

Lan Xiaoxiao smiled slightly and said aloud, "This sword is called 'Frost'. It is a top-grade lord-level treasure. It was forged by a contemporary weapon refiner. The starting price is five million Crystal Soul Coins."

The eyes of the people from all the major forces flickered. Oh my god, the first lot to be auctioned is the Lord's Weapon?!

As soon as Lan Xiaoxiao finished speaking, someone started bidding from the audience.

The sounds of bidding rose one after another, and the atmosphere gradually became heated.

Luo Li observed every move in the field calmly.

Although the Di family and Jiuding Academy concealed their identities, they still entered the VIP box on the second floor with their influence.

The vast majority of people on the first floor are from small and medium-sized forces on the mainland, and some guests who come alone.

Xiaoliu glanced outside and said, "It seems that no one on the second floor has made an offer."

"Of course," Luo Li leaned back and closed her eyes. "It should be said that everyone on the second floor came here for the Grand Lord Pill and the Grand Lord Weapon."

At this time, the bidding in the field has entered a white-hot stage.

The price of the "Frost" sword soared all the way until it was finally bought by a burly man from the Mercenary Guild for 23 million Crystal Soul Coins.

The big man said with a smug look on his face, "Thank you for letting me do that."

Lan Xiaoxiao announced with a smile: "Congratulations to this guest for winning the 'Frost' sword.

Now, let’s move on to the second lot.”

As the auction house staff presented an exquisite box, Lan Xiaoxiao opened the lid and found a bead emitting a soft blue light.

"This is a Deep Sea Condensed Pearl. It not only aids in the cultivation of water elemental techniques, but can also condense a powerful water curtain shield at critical moments to withstand fatal attacks. The starting price is eight million Crystal Soul Coins."

This time, the people on the second floor took action.

The first person to bid was a woman in a blue robe in the box on the second floor.

She had a gentle temperament and a soft voice: "Twenty million."

Luo Li narrowed her eyes. It was someone from the Yao Chi Holy Land.

"Thirty million." A deep voice came from another box.

Someone from the Di family.

Luo Li tapped her fingertips lightly, and soon, the item was bought by someone from the Yaochi Holy Land at a high price of 45 million.

And then, no one made another bid in the entire second-floor box.

Until the start of the second half of the auction.

The atmosphere of the auction gradually heated up as the first half ended. Lan Xiaoxiao left the stage gracefully and Song Wanbai took over the position of auctioneer.

His appearance caused a slight commotion. After all, Song Wanbai was also well-known in Buli City.

Song Wanbai's hosting style is different from Lan Xiaoxiao's, more calm and restrained.

As the items in the second half were sold one by one, the people on the second floor started to get serious.

"Dear guests, we will now enter the highlight of this auction."

Song Wanbai's voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard throughout the auction hall. "First, we will present the ultimate Grand Lord-level treasure - the 'Tiangang Battle Armor'."

As he finished speaking, a piece of armor shining with golden light was slowly pushed onto the stage.

The armor has runes of varying depths, but it doesn't look crowded, but rather very special.

The golden armor was gleaming with golden light on the auction table. They actually felt the majesty from a spiritual weapon.

Everyone's breathing suddenly became heavier, and their eyes were locked on the armor.

"As you can see, this is a rare spiritual weapon of the armor type. The weapon refiner used the power of three laws to refine it. Not only does it have amazing defensive capabilities, it can also enhance the wearer's soul power. The starting price is 50 million Crystal Soul Coins."
