Even if the matter was completely settled, the demon on the high platform smiled charmingly and said, "Everyone, the auction begins now. I hope you can take away the treasures you like."
As the words fell, a girl from Tongtian Tower came forward and whispered something in the ear of the evil spirit, but no one knew what she said.
After hearing this, Chi Mei frowned slightly, then nodded, and the girl stepped down from the platform.
Then, Chi Mei slowly said, "Today's auction will be open to the public. I don't want to waste any more time on this. The highest bidder wins. Please bid!"
Hearing this, everyone was stunned, confused, and seemed to be greatly shocked. They whispered to each other,
"What's going on today? This... the rules of Tongtian Tower are actually changing?"
"Since the construction of Tongtian Tower, there have only been two open auctions. It has always been done in secret. What happened today?"
"The last two times, it seemed like there was something special happening, so Tsutenkaku would openly hold an auction. Could it be that there is something special happening today as well?"
"Never mind. Isn't this better? In the past, when I auctioned blindly, I sold a hundred items, but there were only two really good ones. Now, with this open auction, I don't have to worry about luck."
…
People kept talking, some were happy and some were sad. Compared to competing for luck, many people were more interested in competing for luck.
At this moment, Chimei walked down the platform. His expression seemed not very good before he left, and he glanced vaguely at the private room where Qin Tian and others were.
Then, the auction officially began. A graceful lady walked onto the stage carrying an antique box and said slowly, "Everyone, please pay attention!"
After she finished speaking, the girl opened the box in her arms and said loudly, "This is the first lot of the auction today. It's called the Divine Essence Pill. It's a third-level spiritual medicine. Its effect is to cleanse the essence and marrow, and it can widen the meridians regardless of realm, making the path of cultivation faster.
The auction price for the Divine Essence Pill starts at 5,000 low-grade spirit stones. Bidding begins now! "
As soon as he finished speaking, some people started to bid for the price. This third-level Divine Essence Pill was indeed good and extremely rare. Five thousand low-grade spirit stones was not expensive.
However, for Qin Tian, this kind of elixir is like chicken ribs, so it’s better not to have it.
Although Qin Tian did not want it, the crowd's bidding was extremely fierce. In a short period of time, the price of this third-level divine essence pill was bid up to 16,000 low-grade spirit stones.
Such a large number of low-grade spirit stones has far exceeded its value, and this is only the first thing. No one wants to lose even a bit of their foundation.
"Everyone, sixteen thousand spirit stones once! Sixteen thousand spirit stones twice... three times!
"Deal! Congratulations, Young Master Liu, for winning the Third Rank Divine Essence Pill," the girl said in a loud voice.
This third-level divine essence pill finally belonged to Young Master Liu Zhi. With his talent, it was well worth the 16,000 spirit stones.
Then, the girl took out the second treasure. When she opened the box, there was only an old leather cloth lying quietly inside.
The girl said slowly, "Gentlemen, this is a map of the ruins, and it's intact. I'm afraid there are incredible treasures within the ruins. The text on it is unreadable, but its value cannot be denied.
The auction begins now, starting price: 10,000 low-grade spirit stones!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was slightly stunned. According to what the girl said, this so-called ruins map was no different from having nothing at all.
The words on it are unrecognizable, and relying on pictures of mountains and rivers to identify them? That's impossible to recognize, and there's no point in having it.
Moreover, the starting price was 10,000, which was more expensive than the third-level Divine Essence Pill. The scene fell silent for a moment.
For a moment, the girl standing on the platform didn't feel the slightest bit surprised, as this kind of thing had happened many times before. After waiting for a moment, the girl slowly said, "Since no one wants it, then this map of the ruins will be unsold."
"Ten thousand!" Qin Tian said before it failed to sell.
After saying this, the girl on the platform smiled slightly. For them, it would be best if the item did not fail to sell. No matter what the price was, as long as it could be sold, it was fine.
Upon hearing this, Liu Zhi's gaze fell on the attic where Qin Tian and others were. He naturally knew clearly that the person who bid the price was Qin Tian.
But if he competed with Qin Tian for such a tattered map, and if Qin Tian didn't want it, he would be in trouble. He would have spent ten thousand spirit stones to buy a rag, and his father would beat him to death.
Until the end, Liu Zhi forced himself to suppress his anger. He understood the principle that a little impatience can ruin a big plan.
Up to ten thousand, no one bid any more. I guess everyone thought that this map of the ruins was useless because they couldn't understand the words on it, so it was just a useless map.
Afterwards, ten more treasures were auctioned, but none of them was what Qin Tian wanted. Although those ten items were not bad, they were not worth Qin Tian's bid.
"Everyone, today's auction is about to end. The next item can be said to be a true treasure and is worth a lot of money.
This is the last lot, the most precious treasure of today. Please take a look at it!" the girl said slowly.
The moment she finished speaking, the girl slowly opened the box in her arms. Suddenly, a gray light burst out from the box, instantly covering the entire second floor.
And at this moment, a black lotus, the size of a palm, appeared in everyone's eyes.
"The ten thousand year old Chaos Lotus!?" Qin Tian murmured in great surprise.
The Chaos Lotus is ten thousand years old. This... this is truly a precious sword!
No! It's not just a treasure, it's a divine object, a true divine object!
"This... is this the Chaos Lotus? It's ten thousand years old. Rumor has it that Chaos Lotus is extremely difficult to grow. There are no nutrients in the chaos, so it's almost impossible for living things to form. However, Chaos Lotus is an exception.
But even so, the chance of Chaos Lotus being generated is only one in a million, and a Chaos Lotus that exists for ten thousand years is almost non-existent.
"I've seen records of the Chaos Lotus in ancient books, but I always thought it was just a legend. I never thought I'd actually see it today." Jade Purity True Man murmured in shock and awe.
Jiu Feng, standing by, said with a dazed expression, "It's hard to believe that someone would actually put such a divine object up for auction!"
As for Qin Tian, all his attention was focused on the Chaos Lotus at this moment.
This was originally the main ingredient for refining the Nine Revolutions Chaos Pill, but in the God Realm, no ten-thousand-year-old Chaos Lotus had ever been seen, so the Nine Revolutions Chaos Pill was revised and replaced with other spiritual medicines.
