At the end of the morning, in the open-air auction hall transformed from a parade ground, a man covered in black armor appeared on the makeshift auction platform.
I saw that the other person had sharp eyebrows and fierce eyes, and a tall and majestic figure.
There was a murderous aura about him, which was obviously cultivated through years of fighting.
This person is none other than the Qingliu County Magistrate, Chao Tianrui!
Beside him, there was an adjutant of the Qinglong Army, who looked like he would be the auctioneer today!
"It's Lord Chao!"
"The county magistrate is here!"
"I heard that County Magistrate Chao is a powerful master of the Void Realm. Seeing him today, he is indeed awe-inspiring!"
“…”
For a moment, there was a lot of discussion below.
Many people also stood up and greeted Chao Tianrui.
Chao Tianrui just stood on the platform and nodded slightly to these people.
The whole person seems unkind, indifferent and cold to the extreme.
"Hahaha, Brother Chao, everyone can't wait any longer."
"If you have something good, hurry up and get it!"
At this time, a series of loud noises were heard.
There seemed to be a strong sense of intimacy and familiarity in the voice.
Following the sound, it was the prefect Xiao Chengchang, who was sitting in the front row and smiling at Chao Tianrui.
Today's auction was not specially arranged according to identity, status and strength.
So Chu Zhaitian, Mo Qingfei and the others just found a place to sit down.
But as the prefect of Qingliu County, Xiao Chengchang was proud of his status and naturally sat in the most conspicuous position in the first row.
As soon as he finished speaking, a faint smile appeared on Chao Tianrui's face when he heard the voice of "Brother Chao".
According to his strength, the county magistrate Chao Tianrui is at the second level of Dongxu.
However, Xiao Chengchang was only at the peak of the ninth level of the Golden Core Realm.
There is no comparison between the two.
However, both of them were ministers of the Da Cang Dynasty. Xiao Chengchang always relied on his age and power over the other party. In addition, the two of them had always been at odds with each other, so he always called Chao Tianrui "brother" to disgust and suppress the other party.
"What is Xiao Fuyin so anxious about?"
"I never thought that you, the prefect, would come to my auction.
If Lord Xiao hadn't been corrupt, based on your salary, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to afford any of the items at my auction today, right?"
"Could it be that the prefect is here just to join in the fun?"
Chao Tianrui asked with a wry smile.
These words are indeed sharp.
For a moment, the whole audience murmured.
It has been rumored for a long time that the prefect and the county magistrate do not get along. When I saw them today, it turned out to be true.
As soon as the two "big shots" met, they spoke in a sarcastic tone.
However, whether it was the people from the three sects and two schools, or the independent cultivators and wealthy people, everyone present was happy to see this scene.
"Brother Chao, you are joking!
With my salary alone, I certainly can't afford what you have.
But don’t forget, I am still a powerful Jindan.
After living for so many years, a powerful Jindan master shouldn't have some savings. This has nothing to do with corruption."
Xiao Chengchang smiled faintly and said as a matter of course.
"Really?"
Chao Tianrui curled his lips and said nothing.
The next second, he stopped talking nonsense with Xiao Chengchang, but looked around the audience and gave some opening remarks.
As a decisive and ruthless Dongxu master, Chao Tianrui did not waste too much time. He simply talked about the rules of the auction in a few words and then changed his tone.
"In short, Chao thanks everyone for coming today."
"At today's auction, everyone can bid fairly. If anyone uses their power to pressure others, Chao will definitely uphold justice."
"Besides that, no one is allowed to fight here.
If there is any personal grudge, or if there is any feud during the auction, you can fight to the death after you leave here.
Stay here. If anyone dares to act insolently, I will turn my back on you, no matter what!"
Buzz!
As soon as the words fell, an extremely terrifying pressure suddenly filled the entire place.
The aura of the second level of Dongxu realm made everyone present turn pale.
The prefect Xiao Chengchang even let out a muffled groan.
Judging from the appearance, the pressure released by Chao Tianrui clearly gave him some "special" care.
Even Chu Zhatian had to mobilize the spiritual power in his body to resist.
Mo Qingfei, Mo Zhan and others beside them had difficulty breathing and their bodies were trembling slightly.
Only Huo Huo looked normal, but his eyes were filled with eagerness as he looked at Chao Tianrui.
Judging from the look of it, it seems that he still wants to try his hand at the other party.
The next second, after shocking the entire audience, Chao Tianrui immediately withdrew his imposing manner.
Finally, he added, "Oh, by the way, I have one more thing to tell you! Today, in addition to the items listed in the auction brochure, there is one last, truly exceptional item reserved for the grand finale.
As for what it is, I’ll keep it a secret for now.”
"Okay, the auction will officially begin!"
After saying this, Chao Tianrui winked at his subordinates beside him.
The other party will host the next auction on your behalf.
After the auction started, two soldiers from the Blue Wolf Army carried the first item onto the stage.
After removing the red cloth, a two-meter-high alchemy furnace was revealed underneath.
"This alchemy furnace is a top-grade, heavenly-grade alchemy furnace.
Inside, a special formation was set up by an earthly immortal alchemist, which can automatically remove impurities from the materials when refining the elixir.
Therefore, it is called the "Nine-Turn Immaculate Furnace".
The pills made with it, even the most ordinary Spirit Gathering Pill, are comparable to earth-level spiritual pills.
In addition, this furnace can be used to refine "immortal pills," which are immortal elixirs."
"The starting price is 10 million silver notes, or 1 million spirit stones! Each bid increase must not be less than 1 million silver notes, or 100,000 spirit stones."
"If you're interested, don't miss it!"
The Blue Wolf Army adjutant who was acting as a temporary auctioneer introduced them in a sonorous voice.
As soon as the words fell, the whole audience suddenly became a commotion.
I have to say that County Magistrate Chao does have good stuff in his hands.
Right at the start, he took out a top-grade heavenly alchemy furnace as an opening act, which immediately heated up the atmosphere.
The eyes of many people present were burning with passion.
Pills are definitely a very important and effective auxiliary means on the road to cultivation.
Not only can it help practitioners improve quickly when their realm is low.
Even at a high level, there are some extremely precious "immortal pills" and "magic pills" that can even help practitioners realize the Tao, achieve harmony with the Tao, and even temper their bodies.
Therefore, the importance of alchemy can be imagined.
However, the quality of the refined pills depends largely on the quality of the furnace.
As the saying goes, if you want to do your work well, you must first sharpen your tools.
No matter how capable an alchemist is, it is absolutely impossible for him to use an ordinary furnace to refine immortality pills.
And now this "Nine-Turn Immaculate Furnace" meets the requirements for refining the "Immortal Pill".
At this moment, even Chu Zhaitian showed a look of interest.
