Chapter 641: Chapter 638: Yang Chen’s Doubts_1
However, these martial artists obviously didn’t feel the same way.
They were completely swayed by Old man Huayun’s few words, making many of them believe that the Burying Heart Goat Horn was an extremely precious treasure. This was also a credit to Old man Huayun, who had a great reputation. With just a few words, he managed to hype up the Burying Heart Goat Horn.
At first, everyone had no idea what it was. But after listening to Old man Huayun’s explanation, they all believed that the Burying Heart Goat Horn was quite formidable.
This made Yang Chen somewhat amused and distressed, knowing that the Burying Heart Goat Horn would definitely deceive some big fools. At least for now, none of the major sects and clans seemed to be taking action.
“Six top-grade Spirit Stones!”
“We, Luoyun Main City, offer eight!”
“Humph! Since Luoyun Main City is so generous, this item will belong to you, Luoyun Main City.” A loose cultivator in the True Martial Realm was very unhappy, apparently unwilling to accept the outcome.
“Hehe, if you don’t have Spirit Stones, don’t pretend to be rich.” A high-level member of Luoyun Main City said disdainfully.
Hua Yun Main City chuckled: “In that case, the Burying Heart Goat Horn belongs to you, Luoyun Main City. After the auction ends, I hope your sect will come to collect it.”
“No problem.” Luoyun Main City was still completely unaware that they had become a big fool.
Old man Huayun sneered in his heart, and began to introduce the second auction item.
Yang Chen didn’t pay much attention to this second auction item. He had completely underestimated the scale of this auction. Now, looking at it, these sects were absolutely rich. The price of a mere Burying Heart Goat Horn had been inflated to eight top-grade Spirit Stones, equivalent to one hundred million ordinary Spirit Stones!
Could he even afford to bid for slightly more precious treasures?
Yang Chen felt a mix of amusement and distress in his heart, losing all confidence in his own wealth.
The second auction item was an elixir, which looked rather grayish but emitted an aura that was hard to deny the quality of the elixir.
Seeing this elixir, everyone was curious.
From a VIP building, a surprised voice exclaimed, “This is Earth Martial Solution Pill!”
“The distinguished guests of Heiyun Main City really have sharp eyes, recognizing this as the Earth Martial Solution Pill!” Old man Huayun said with a heartfelt tone.
“Hehe, how could we not know about such a treasure…” Inside the VIP room, a mysterious smile spread. They didn’t show much respect to Old man Huayun, nor did they show disdain.
Heiyun Main City, Zhenwu Main City, and Green Lotus Sect were the three great forces known to be just below the Black Dragon Sect.
The reason they were called the three great forces was that all three factions had powerful experts in the Heaven Martial Realm.
Others might need to treat Old man Huayun as a grandfather, but they didn’t have to go that far. Of course, they wouldn’t go out of their way to provoke Old man Huayun either.
“Senior, what is this Earth Martial Solution Pill?”
“Yeah!”
Some people who didn’t know asked.
Hearing this question, Old man Huayun clicked his tongue and said, “Perhaps some of you are not familiar with the Earth Martial Solution Pill. This elixir is a low-grade Grade 7 elixir, which is popular among Earth Martial Realm experts. Upon ingestion, it can save them from some hardships and enhance their cultivation!”
“What?! It has such an effect?!”
“For those in Earth Martial Realm, the effect is indeed significant.”
Seeing the atmosphere ignited on the spot, Old man Huayun didn’t delay any further and said, “This Earth Martial Solution Pill has a starting price of five Top-grade Spirit Stones!”
“Our Heiyun Main City offers ten Top-grade Spirit Stones.” The people of Heiyun Main City immediately showed their domineering side.
“Our Pick Star Main City offers twelve!”
“We offer fifteen!”
As people kept bidding, the price soared rapidly.
Yang Chen observed from the side, noticing that even the Green Lotus Sect had started bidding, raising the price to more than twenty Top-grade Spirit Stones.
He didn’t have any intention to grab it. Firstly, he hadn’t reached the Earth Martial Realm, so he didn’t need the Earth Martial Solution Pill. Secondly, the elixir was a bit subpar, looking dark and barely resembling a proper elixir. Calling it a low-grade elixir of Grade 7 wouldn’t be an exaggeration.
He didn’t take such a level of elixir seriously. If he were to refine such a product, he would be too ashamed to put it up for auction!
That would be a total disgrace.
However, other people felt differently.
The Earth Martial Solution Pill was, after all, an elixir capable of enhancing the cultivation of Earth Martial Realm experts, which attracted the interest of many main city forces.
Even the Green Lotus Sect was among them, as they had quite a few Earth Martial Realm experts in their ranks.
“Thirty Top-grade Spirit Stones!”
“Thirty-two!”
“Thirty-five!” The people of Heiyun Main City gritted their teeth and shouted.
Finally, the opponents stopped bidding, making Heiyun Main City even more smug. They gave a cold smile and said, “Old man Huayun, since no one else is bidding, this elixir belongs to us Heiyun Main City, right?”
“Naturally.” Seeing that it sold for such a high price of thirty-five, Old man Huayun spoke.
Watching Heiyun Main City so boldly throw out thirty-five Spirit Stones, Yang Chen shook his head, “This elixir can be auctioned off at thirty-five Top-grade Spirit Stones… It seems that Grade 7 Elixirs in the Thirty-six Eastern Counties are extremely rare.”
Otherwise, Heiyun Main City wouldn’t have gone so far for just a single Grade 7 elixir!
Of course, this had nothing to do with him. What did it matter to him whether Heiyun Main City lost or gained from this?
The auction continued, and there seemed to be no shortage of treasures. According to the initial survey, the auction would last a long time, even more than ten days. That was because the process of bidding and shouting took a lot of time. Furthermore, there were so many auction items that it was natural for it to take a long time.
Yang Chen didn’t pay much attention to the third auction item at first, but when it was brought out, his expression changed instantly.
“What is this?!” Yang Chen’s eyes widened, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
He saw that Old man Huayun held a stick in his hand, which he controlled to hover in the air.
A strong spiritual energy radiated from the stick, indicating that it was an extraordinary treasure.
However, no matter how extraordinary, everyone still had discerning eyes. Upon a closer look, they couldn’t help but wonder, “Old man Huayun, this treasure is nothing more than an Upper-Level Spiritual Instrument. Is it really worth auctioning?”
“Yeah, can you even auction off an Upper-Level Spiritual Instrument?”
Many people became displeased.
When did the Yellow Sand Auction fall to such a low level, even auctioning off a mere Upper-Level Spiritual Instrument?
It wasn’t strange for everyone to dismiss the Upper-Level Spiritual Instrument.
Since they could afford to pay one million Spirit Stones to attend the auction, who would care about a mere Upper-Level Spiritual Instrument?
Only Yang Chen, who looked at the stick with a mixture of doubt and longing.
He felt a mix of emotions in his heart, “This… How could this be possible?!”
