Upon hearing these words, the others no longer cared about Zuan and turned to look at the center of the arena.
This time they got wind of the fact that a rare treasure would appear at the auction, but unfortunately, the previous brochures had not revealed any information about it.
That's exactly why the more mysterious it is, the more curious people become. Everyone wants to see what kind of treasure Xiaoyao Tower will bring out this time.
A staff member brought out a brocade box, and the beautiful host opened it. The people in the room instinctively stood up and craned their necks to look inside.
The private room was situated on a high vantage point, and when Zu An looked closely, he saw a strangely shaped jade pendant.
Unlike ordinary jade pendants that emphasize beauty and translucency, this jade pendant has many patterns and is not aesthetically pleasing at all.
"The material of this jade pendant is just average," one of the knowledgeable people in the room immediately questioned.
At this moment, the beautiful host smiled and explained, "This jade pendant looks very ordinary, but it hides a great secret. That is, it has a clue to the legendary Purple Frost Divine Milk engraved on it."
Zuan was watching a show when he heard the news and was shocked. He had been struggling to find the mysterious Purple Frost Divine Milk, but he had stumbled upon a clue by sheer coincidence!
He was determined to get his hands on this item for his sister, the Empress, but he quickly frowned. He had about 600,000 taels of silver, which he had just spent on the Fang of the Azure Wolf King and the Nine-Headed Pheasant Feather. Now he only had 470,000 left. With that amount of money, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to afford the final item of the Xiaoyao Tower.
At this moment, the beautiful host below began to explain: "Purple Frost Divine Milk is a legendary top-grade spiritual medicine. Even if the soul is severely injured, as long as it is not completely destroyed, it can be restored to its original state. The current emperor, with his cultivation level, suffered severe damage to his soul during the great battle with the Demon Emperor, and it was this product that allowed him to recover."
"Of course, besides healing injuries, this substance is also extremely beneficial for refining and nourishing the soul. Ordinary cultivators who consume this divine milk are destined to be qualified to advance to the Grandmaster level; Grandmasters who consume it will find it much easier to break through to the Great Grandmaster level. As for those above the Great Grandmaster level, there are rumors that the Emperor himself broke through to the Earth Immortal level after consuming this substance..."
Upon hearing his explanation, many people who were not very familiar with this item became eager, wishing they could immediately possess it.
It is important to know that in the path of cultivation, it becomes increasingly difficult to advance beyond the fifth rank.
However, the difficulty of going from the fifth to the ninth rank is not as great as the threshold from the ninth rank to the grandmaster. Many people work hard for a lifetime but still cannot cross that threshold.
As for the path from Grandmaster to Great Grandmaster, it is even more difficult. The world is so vast, and there are countless people with extraordinary talents. Although Grandmasters are not common, they are not few in number. But how many Great Grandmasters are there in the entire world? Not to mention the Earth Immortals who are even higher up.
However, there were quite a few knowledgeable people in the audience, and soon someone raised a question: "Why would Xiaoyao Tower put such a precious item up for auction? Aren't you afraid that if the news gets out, it will attract Grandmasters and Great Grandmasters to wipe out your entire sect?"
Although Xiaoyao Tower is powerful, even a Grandmaster would be tempted by such a treasure, so how could they possibly resist it?
Sure enough, the others realized what was happening and looked at the host with suspicion.
The beautiful host seemed to have anticipated such questions, and explained with a sweet smile, "Xiaoyao Tower also knows the principle of 'possessing a treasure is a crime,' which is why we put this item up for auction. Moreover, what we have is not the real Purple Frost Divine Milk, but only related clues. Those Grandmasters and Grandmasters are such figures, surely they wouldn't make things difficult for Xiaoyao Tower because of this."
The crowd nodded in agreement. These were just some clues; even if they were obtained, they might not be able to find the target. Furthermore, the strength of the Xiaoyao Tower was unfathomable, so there was indeed no need to try and snatch them.
At this point, someone else asked, "But you've had this thing in your hands for so long, you must have thoroughly studied the clues on it. Now we're spending a lot of money to buy the information you already know, which has attracted all sorts of experts to come here to compete for it. Meanwhile, you're secretly following the clues to find the Purple Frost Divine Milk. Wouldn't we become your scapegoats?"
Zu An nodded to himself. The people here were indeed not stupid. Even someone like Sun Ji had some cunning, let alone them.
The beautiful host replied with a smile, "Everyone can rest assured that the clues on this jade pendant are very obscure and profound. We at Xiaoyao Tower have been studying it for so long, but we still have no clue. We can't even start looking for it privately."
"Even you guys have studied this for so long and still can't figure out the clues. What's the point of us taking pictures?" said the black-robed man that Zuan had noticed earlier in a deep voice.
The beautiful host revealed a sweet, professional smile: "Treasures of heaven and earth cannot be obtained by force; they often fall into the hands of those who are destined to find them. The fact that we at Xiaoyao Tower cannot research it proves that we are not destined to find it, but that does not mean that others cannot research it either."
Zu An thought to himself that this woman had a very accurate grasp of human nature. There was no shortage of smart people in the world. Everyone would think that they were smarter and had more opportunities than others, and would definitely try to get the jade pendant.
Sure enough, soon people below started urging: "Hey, stop talking nonsense, hurry up and start filming."
The beautiful host smiled with satisfaction and slowly said, "The starting price for this item is one million taels of silver, and each bid must be at least ten thousand taels."
Upon hearing this, the room fell silent for a moment. After all, one million was no small sum, and it was foreseeable that the final transaction price would be far more than one million.
However, as soon as the first person started bidding, the venue immediately became lively. Everyone raised their paddles one after another, and the price kept rising, quickly reaching around 1.5 million taels.
