The room was vast and resplendent, constructed entirely of extremely precious stones. The Level 5 Stone Gambling Hall was divided into two floors. The lower floor was the auction area, where stones could be cut on the spot. The upper floor was a dedicated lounge, fully furnished with rare and precious spiritual fruits, tea, and wine. The view directly in front of the lounge overlooked the auction area on the lower floor.
At this moment, Yuan Zhexian was led into the No. 7 rest hall by two beautiful women through the private passage staircase.
At this moment, an even more beautiful woman appeared at the auction stage. This woman was the host of this auction and one of the members of the Ancient Origin Holy Land, named Si Yao. Not only was she incredibly beautiful, but her Origin Power was also outstanding, earning her a high reputation in the world of jade gambling. Si Yao parted her lips slightly, her voice clear and melodious: "Welcome everyone to this auction. Today we have prepared some rare divine Origin Stones for you, which we believe will not disappoint you."
"Now, the auction officially begins!" As Siyao finished speaking, a waiter pushed a huge divine stone onto the auction stage. The stone looked ordinary, but everyone knew that the more inconspicuous a stone was, the more likely it was to contain an extraordinary treasure.
At this moment, Yuan Zhexian closed his eyes and opened them again, and his double pupils, as bright as stars, immediately opened. The double pupils have the ability to see through things. Although he could not see through what was inside, he could judge whether the divine stone was worth taking by the intensity of the light emitted from it.
Then Yuan Zhexian looked at the enormous Divine Origin Stone, which emitted bursts of green light, though the light wasn't very strong. Yuan Zhexian immediately deduced that it contained a Saint Pill.
Then Siyao said, "The starting bid for this stone is one sacred weapon."
At that moment, a voice rang out from lounge number five: "I'll offer a Holy Weapon."
Immediately afterwards, a voice rang out from the No. 1 lounge: "Two holy weapons."
The voice rang out again from Lounge No. 5: "Four Sacred Weapons".
At this moment, Hall One also said, "Six sacred weapons."
Upon hearing about the six holy weapons, the No. 5 lounge fell silent and stopped raising the price.
Seeing that no one spoke, Siyao then announced, "Six sacred weapons once, six sacred weapons twice, six sacred weapons three times. Congratulations to the guest in lounge number one for successfully bidding."
Then he asked, "Would the guests in Lounge One like to have their food cut now?"
The person in lounge number one slowly said, "Tch."
Then an old man walked onto the auction stage. Siyao nodded to him, and the old man, without saying much, used his source energy to extend his right hand, transforming it into a blade, and cleaved it down. The Divine Origin Stone was instantly sliced in two. Then, a Great Sage Pill appeared before everyone.
This is the Purple Nether Longevity Pill. This pill can increase the lifespan of a Great Saint Realm expert by three hundred years, making it an extremely precious item for a Great Saint Realm expert.
The people in the No. 1 rest hall were also very happy, having exchanged six holy weapons for a precious Great Saint Pill.
Then a beautiful waitress placed the Great Sage Pill into an exquisite box and delivered it to lounge number one.
The auction of the divine stones continued, and the next few stones were all quite good, yielding excellent results. At this moment, a waiter brought over a purple divine stone, and Siyao said, "This is a top-grade divine stone. Whether it contains any peerless divine treasures depends on the discerning eye and luck of each guest."
The starting bid for this top-grade divine stone is equivalent to a great holy weapon.
"Whoosh!"
The crowd gasped in astonishment. A Great Saint Weapon was no ordinary Saint Weapon; it was incredibly rare and precious. Even some of the weaker Saint Lords of Holy Lands used Great Saint Weapons.
At this moment, Yuan Zhexian scanned the room with his double pupils and found nothing inside, then immediately shook his head.
At this moment, Ji Jingtian spoke up, saying, "I'll offer a Great Saint Weapon."
Yuan Zhexian was also taken aback. This idiot, why didn't he ask me before he was going to film?
Then he turned to Ji Jingtian and said, "What? You're very rich?"
Then Ji Jingtian immediately said, "Divine Child, that's a top-grade divine ore stone, which is already very rare. It's just a Great Saint Weapon; if it yields something extraordinary, wouldn't that be a huge windfall?"
At this moment, Yuan Zhexian immediately said, "What if there's nothing inside?"
Just as Yuan Zhexian finished speaking, a voice rang out from the fourth person who hadn't made a bid yet: "I'll bid two Great Saint Weapons."
As soon as the voice finished speaking, Yuan Ruochu said to Yuan Zhexian with a puzzled look, "Divine Child, why does this voice sound a little familiar?"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhexian immediately recalled whose voice it was.
Just as he was recalling, Ji Jingtian shouted again: "Four Great Sacred Weapons".
This interrupted Yuan Zhexian's recollection. Yuan Zhexian looked at Ji Jingtian with frustration and said, "I already said there's nothing inside. If you have a lot of Great Saint Weapons, I don't recommend you give me some. If your father were here, he would definitely scold you for being a spendthrift."
Upon hearing Yuan Zhexian's words, Ji Jingtian immediately dared not raise the price any further.
Then the voice from lounge number four rang out again: "Eight Great Sacred Weapons."
Ji Jingtian held back and dared not bid again. Then, seeing that Yuan Zhexian had not spoken, Siyao said, "Eight Great Saint Weapons once, eight Great Saint Weapons twice, three times. Congratulations to the guest in Hall 4 for winning the auction."
Just as Siyao finished speaking, the voice from Hall 4 rang out again: "Let's cut the scene."
Then the old man once again transformed his hand into a blade and slashed down. There was no light, no sound, nothing at all.
Everyone present burst into laughter instantly.
"Eight great holy weapons, all for naught," one of the people in the lounge said.
Then someone from another hall said, "I want to know who's so rich that they spent eight great holy weapons and still didn't get anything."
Then the voice of the person in Hall 4 rang out again: "Opening a stone is all about luck and vision. What's so funny about not finding anything? Are you all so accurate in opening and gambling on stones every time, and do you always find a priceless treasure? Do you never make a mistake?"
Upon hearing this, everyone stopped laughing. The people in Hall 4 were right; after all, they also made mistakes sometimes and couldn't always cut out good stuff.
The more Yuan Ruochu listened to the voice, the more she felt like she had heard it somewhere before, but she couldn't quite place it.
Just as Siyao said the auction would continue,
Yuan Ruochu was suddenly dumbfounded and couldn't believe it. Then she said to everyone, "I remember whose voice that was."
"Who?" Yuan Zhexian asked curiously, seeing Yuan Ruochu's expression.
“Wang Teng!” Yuan Ruo immediately said.
When everyone heard Yuan Ruochu mention this name, they all said the same three words at the same time: "Impossible."
