Chapter 1846
byIn the next few days, everything was peaceful.
Since that night when he sneaked into the Purple Star Palace and startled the snake, Yang Kai didn’t take any rash actions. He believed that the Purple Star Palace must be extremely tightly guarded now. Even with Yang Kai’s ability, he had no confidence in sneaking in quietly again.
Hua Youmeng used the relationships in her hands to inquire about the situation in Purple Star City during this recent period and reported it to Yang Kai.
Yang Kai then learned that because of the long absence of Zi Long and Zi Donglai in the Purple Star, the high-level of the Purple Star had already split into several factions. Among them, the factions led by the second son Zi Wuji and the great elder Sun Liang were fighting against each other and secretly intriguing.
Although these things were suppressed by the high-level of the Purple Star, the paper couldn’t cover the fire. There were always some things that would spread out, so Hua Youmeng easily inquired about them.
However, the information she inquired about was also well-known. She was powerless about the too secret intelligence.
This was enough. At least Yang Kai already knew what was hidden under the calm appearance of Purple Star City.
Now there were only two things that Yang Kai cared about. One was to steal the Star Emperor Order, and the other was to get Shen Tu and the others out and take them away. Unfortunately, there was no good opportunity, so he could only wait quietly.
Time passed quickly, and the auction held by the Tongtian Auction House was held as scheduled.
Yang Kai had nothing to do, so he went with Hua Youmeng. After all, the land deed that the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce was going to auction this time was of great value. If there were no powerful people sitting in town, it was hard to guarantee that no one would have any bad ideas.
Hua Youmeng was naturally overjoyed. She had originally been struggling with how to ask Yang Kai to come, but unexpectedly, the other party took the initiative to ask to follow, which made her even more grateful to Yang Kai.
On the day of the auction, Hua Youmeng was dressed very appropriately. A tight purple long dress set off her noble temperament. She closely followed behind Yang Kai, step by step, attracting the attention of many passers-by.
Holding the invitation card, they entered the auction house. Naturally, someone from the Tongtian Auction House led Yang Kai and Hua Youmeng into Room Jiazi No. 5, served spiritual fruits and tea, and then respectfully retreated.
Hua Youmeng stood nervously aside. Yang Kai said several times before she nervously took a seat.
There was still some time before the start of the auction. Yang Kai had nothing to do, so he looked around.
After a while, he couldn’t help but frown, showing a hint of suspicion.
My lord, what’s the matter？” Hua Youmeng’s attention had been on Yang Kai. Seeing his expression was wrong at this moment, she quickly asked.”
Is there anything very precious in this auction？” Yang Kai asked with a frown.”
I don’t know either… Hua Youmeng smiled awkwardly.”
Then it’s okay.” Yang Kai smiled slightly, withdrew his divine sense, and frowned slightly.”
Just now, he actually detected that there were many Void King Realm powerhouses in this auction house！
This is a very strange thing. There are not many things in this world that can attract Void King Stage experts. Even if there are, they shouldn’t appear in the Tongtian Auction House.
Void King Stage experts won’t come to this kind of auction house for no reason. If he wasn’t here to accompany Hua Youmeng, he wouldn’t have deigned to come here either.
But now, among the Void King Stage experts here, apart from him, there are at least five more.
In Room Jiazi No.1 to No.4, there are all Void King Stage experts sitting. Especially in Room Jiazi No.1, when Yang Kai’s Divine Sense swept over just now, it was slightly blocked. Obviously, it is a manifestation of that person’s powerful strength.
Moreover… the opponent’s aura makes Yang Kai feel very familiar.
The person in Room Jiazi No.1 is actually Gongsun Liang, the Grand Elder of Purple Star, who fought against him a few nights ago！
This auction can even attract Gongsun Liang, so it is obvious that there must be good things.
This discovery can’t help but make Yang Kai raise some interest in this auction.
After waiting for a short while, on the high platform in the center of the auction field, a beautiful figure youran appeared. It was actually Li Nuo.
She had a gentle smile on her face, wearing a sleeveless cyan dress, with a pair of fair and slender arms exposed. The neckline was also cut very low, revealing a hint of snow-white skin and the faintly visible cleavage on her chest. Her long and beautiful legs were stepping on a pair of special jade shoes, and her petite toes were exposed, arousing people’s wild imagination. As soon as she appeared on the stage, she attracted everyone’s attention, and countless pairs of eyes below looked at her greedily and sized her up unscrupulously.
Li Nuo was graceful and decent, and smiled in response. She gently opened her vermilion lips and said, “Thank you all for coming to today’s auction. Your presence makes me extremely grateful and makes the Tongtian Auction House shine. I, Li Nuo, am honored to be the host of today’s auction. I hope everyone will show me some face later.”
While speaking, she gracefully curtsied.
“Cut the crap, today’s auction officially begins. However… allow me to keep it a secret for now. There are quite a few extremely precious items in today’s auction, and perhaps it can make all the adults here return with a full load！” When she said this, her eyes looked towards the several private rooms in Jiazi number. Although she didn’t say it clearly, the meaning in her words was self-evident.
Yang Kai smiled knowingly and thought to himself that the Tongtian Auction House really lived up to its reputation, with the Hengluo Chamber of Commerce backing it up. Otherwise, it would definitely not be able to produce items that could even move the Void King Realm powerhouses.
“Next, please look at the first auction item！” Li Nuo shouted coquettishly and gestured to the side. The next moment, a woman dressed as a maid walked out with a tray in her hand, smiling.
The tray was covered with a red cloth. No one knew what material the red cloth was made of. It could block the divine sense detection of the vast majority of martial artists, making everyone itchy and stretching their necks to look.
Hua Youmeng’s beautiful eyes also glinted with curiosity and stared closely.
Although she was not the first time to participate in the auction house, she was the first time to enjoy the treatment of being able to enter the private room, which was completely different from the feeling of squeezing in the hall below in the past.
“It’s just a virtual-level middle-grade secret treasure. You can’t use it.” Yang Kai saw that she was looking at it curiously and immediately spoke out to expose it.
Hua Youmeng was stunned： “My lord, you can see through the truth？”
Yang Kai chuckled： “That red cloth was refined from the silk spit out by the Heavenly Snow Red Silkworm. This thing has no other function except that it can block the divine sense detection, but it is also limited. The divine sense of martial artists below the Void King Realm cannot penetrate it, but it is difficult to stump the Void King Realm.”
Hua Youmeng nodded slightly, and a touch of longing appeared on her face. She was now also at the third level of the Return to Void Realm. If she had the opportunity, she could also try to break through to the Void King Realm. But this checkpoint was really too big. She had been breaking through for so many years, and even her own momentum field had not been completed, let alone comprehending the mystery of the domain field.
I’m afraid there is no hope of breaking through in this life！
On the stage, Li Nuo smiled slightly, stepped forward, and lifted the red cloth on the tray. The things in the tray were immediately presented.
Sure enough, it was a middle-grade Secret Treasure of the Void Rank, and it was a refined dagger, exuding bursts of coldness.
Li Nuo picked up the dagger, pinched a few magic formulas with her hand, and poured Saint Yuan into it. In an instant, the dagger hummed, and dense rune patterns the size of rice grains suddenly appeared on the body of the dagger.
The already rich coldness became even more surging.
Li Nuo held the dagger, casually twirled it, and then circulated her own protective Saint Yuan, and said with a light smile, “This Fen Yuan was refined with deep-sea cold iron as the main material, Youdaoplaceholder0 cold Ming sand, Tian sha soil and the teeth of the ninth-order monster beast Black-Eyed Tapir by a top-grade Void Rank master.It is extremely cold and specializes in breaking protective Saint Yuan. Everyone, watch carefully.”
While speaking, she actually stabbed at her own arm.
I saw a visible coldness condensing at the tip of the dagger, quickly colliding with Li Nuo’s own Saint Yuan. The next moment, with a tearing sound, Li Nuo’s protective Saint Yuan was actually torn open.
Her strength was also very well controlled. Although the dagger tore the protective Saint Yuan, it did not hurt herself at all.
Retracting the dagger, she smiled and said, “Although the Fenyuan Dagger is only of the middle-grade Void level, with it, it is not a problem to fight against a Third-Order Void Returning Realm cultivator. There is no need for me to say more about its great value. The most important thing is that it doesn’t take too long to refine it. The reserve price is one hundred and fifty thousand Saint Crystals. Please start bidding！”
As soon as Li Nuo’s voice fell, the sound of bidding one after another rang out in the hall. Obviously, everyone was extremely interested in this secret treasure.
Hua Youmeng also looked tempted. The dagger was small and suitable for a woman to use. However, Yang Kai’s words were still in her ears, and she didn’t want to go against Yang Kai’s face.
Just at this moment, Yang Kai’s voice came over： “This dagger has a flaw. If I’m not mistaken, it should be a failed product.”
“Failed product？” Hua Youmeng was stunned when she heard this.
“Yes, you didn’t notice that when Li Nuo was testing the power of the dagger just now, she operated a cold-attribute secret technique. So to activate the power of this dagger, one must cultivate a cold-attribute cultivation method or secret art. I see that there is no cold energy in your body, so even if you capture this thing, it won’t be of much use.
“Is that so?” Hua Youmeng was astonished. Isn’t t Li Nuo doing this to deceive others?
Yang Kai smiled and shook his head： “It can’t be said that way. It can only be said that what she said is not true. Moreover, if this dagger is really obtained by a martial artist who cultivates a cold-attribute cultivation method, its power is also good.”
“This concubine understands.” Hua Youmeng looked like she had been taught a lesson.
In the hall, the bidding voices were still continuous, and the reserve price of 150,000 was quickly raised to more than 280,000.
The first auction item was so popular that Li Nuo smiled very happily.
The most important thing in the auction is to get off to a good start, so as to mobilize the enthusiasm of the bidders to participate and sell at a good price.
After the price climbed to 320,000, the number of martial artists who called out the price gradually decreased. After all, the price of a mid-level Void Grade secret treasure was almost like this. If it was more, it would be a bit of a loss.
Not every martial artist has so many Saint Crystals on them. Even if they occasionally earn a lot of Saint Crystals, they have to buy spirit pills for cultivation to increase their strength. Secret treasures are just auxiliaries.
In the end, this Fen Yuan Dagger was bought by a male martial artist in the hall at a price of 350,000.
The following auctions were in full swing. With the first auction item as a good start, the enthusiasm of a large number of martial artists was mobilized. Auction item by item were presented and the price climbed steadily on the basis of the reserve price. The hall was bustling with excitement.
Secret treasures, spirit pills, medicinal materials, minerals, and even cultivation techniques and secret arts… The auction items included everything and had everything.
