At the same time, the last opportunity at the auction was also brought out.
This is an ordinary stone that looks very much like a battle flag. Lin Qing'er below then began to introduce the stone.
"Esteemed guests, the next item up for auction is a stone that was brought out of an ancient tomb of a formation master several days ago. It looks remarkably like a formation flag!"
"Based on our professional testing, this stone may be the natal array flag of an ancient array master. Although it is somewhat damaged, if it can be successfully repaired, it will definitely have unexpected and miraculous effects when used to set up an array!"
"Because the nature of this item is uncertain, we have no starting price. Please bid freely!"
After Lin Qing'er finished her introduction, many array masters who practiced array formations became interested.
"This stone is really strange, it actually looks so much like a battle flag. However, even the appraisers at the auction house are unsure about such a treasure. I think we should just forget about it, there's probably a trap involved!"
"Yes! According to past practice, if we are confident about something, the auction will definitely set a starting price. Now they're telling us to bid whatever we want. That's too obvious. I'm not willing to be a sucker!"
Many martial artists who were interested in the art of formations merely discussed it; no one put up a bid.
This made Lin Qing'er, who was suddenly in an awkward silence, a little nervous. She desperately hoped that someone would bid at this moment, even if it was just for a spirit stone.
"..."
In Lin Xiao's room, Kong Qi looked at the stone and, seeing that no one was bidding against it, asked a question.
"Senior Brother Lin, shall we bid?"
Lin Xiao was looking at the array flag at that moment.
【Name: Ancient Banner】
【age:】
[Quality: Top-notch!]
【Special Feature: Inherited from an ancient formation!】
[In the future: It will be obtained by Wang Na, the villain in "The Legend of Heaven and Earth". It contains the inheritance of an ancient array master and can be cultivated to the level of a Heavenly Rank Array Master. The array inside integrates offense and defense, and also contains some auxiliary arrays!]
Looking at the description of the stone, Lin Xiao nodded and said, "Name your price!"
Kong Qi immediately said, "I'll offer one spirit stone!"
Kong Qi's bid drew the attention of many people who turned to look at Lin Xiao.
The scene of bidding for the animal hides is still fresh in many people's minds.
Seeing Lin Xiao make a bid, they also assumed it was a treasure and started bidding as well.
However, these people were all independent cultivators on the first floor, and they were very cautious in their bidding.
Most of the time, the price increases by a few or ten spirit stones.
This kind of price increase was naturally not to Kong Qi's liking, so he directly said, "Ten thousand spirit stones!"
The sound startled the scattered cultivators below, who immediately stopped bidding.
Just when Kong Qi thought the prize was his, Su Chen in room number one started to speak again.
"One million!"
Su Chen said confidently that he and Zhan Lao naturally didn't see anything special about the stone; they just wanted to annoy Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao sneered, then said, "Five million spirit stones!"
He then continued, "I wonder if the fellow Daoist who brought out this animal hide for auction is present? I don't have many spirit stones on me, but would you be willing to exchange it for a ten-thousand-year-old spiritual item? I wonder if you would be willing!"
Lin Xiao's words this time led many people to believe that there was treasure inside the stone.
Su Chen wanted to use the same trick again, but he hadn't even said a word.
The auctioneer who brought out the stone then asked a question.
"Did Lin Zhenchuan see any treasures or opportunities inside?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao naturally wouldn't say it aloud, since this was the inheritance of an ancient array master, and much of the ancient array techniques had been lost.
If he were to reveal it, it might attract even more covetous people, and even that person might give up the auction, thus missing out on this opportunity.
Then he'll have to resort to his underhanded tactics.
After thinking for a moment, Lin smiled and said, "There is no opportunity, but I have taken a liking to this item and would like to take it back to admire and collect it. I wonder if senior could give me the opportunity?"
"Hehe! Lin Zhenchuan, if there really is something hidden inside the stone, just say it. Why hide it? Let everyone broaden their horizons, shall we?"
"If there's nothing inside, why would you, Lin Zhenchuan, offer such a high price?"
Su Chen said in a hoarse voice that he was just trying to cause trouble.
He wanted to instill in more people the idea that anything that could be valued by the true disciples of the Holy Land must be extraordinary.
Hearing Su Chen's words, Lin Xiao had already thought of a countermeasure!
"Hmph! Lin is asking for such a high price, naturally to prevent anyone from causing trouble!"
"I just don't understand. Where did I offend Fellow Daoist Chen Su? Why are you targeting me repeatedly? I'm very puzzled!"
As a true disciple of the Heavenly Evolution Holy Land, and sitting in the iconic No. 9 house, Lin Xiao's identity was essentially transparent.
Unlike Su Chen, who not only used a fake name but also concealed his voice to cause trouble.
After hearing this, everyone naturally believed Lin Xiao more.
After pondering for a while, the person who brought out the stone for auction also spoke.
"Since Lin Zhenchuan wants to take this item back for his collection, then I will give it to you. To give Tianyan Holy Land some face, let's do as you say and proceed with the transaction."
Seeing that the auction was completed without any major incidents and no items went unsold, Lin Qing'er breathed a sigh of relief. She then wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and vigorously swung the small hammer with her right hand.
*Smack!!!*
"Congratulations to customer number nine for successfully winning this auction item!"
