"Young Master, this is the highest-level VIP room we have here. I hope you are satisfied?" Not long after entering the Baoyue Building, the old man led them into a very luxurious room. Everything here is made from the finest materials, whether it be the tables and chairs or the carpets, even the cups and plates are no exception.
"Thank you, Elder. May I ask how long until the auction begins?" Ren Pingsheng surveyed the room, secretly impressed, but still maintained a calm demeanor without a hint of disturbance. This made the observing old man even more respectful, not daring to show any negligence.
"The auction will start in half an hour and will last for a full day. But rest assured, Young Master, the servants will prepare food and drinks for you. The auction hall is just outside, and there is a shielding formation here that prevents outsiders from sensing anything inside. If you wish to bid on any treasures, just input the numbers on this device. If you need anything else, you can press this red button. There will be someone dedicated to assist you at that time." The old man explained in detail.
"Very well, thank you, Elder. Does Qingyi like it here?"
"I like it! It's beautiful here." Yi Qingyi rolled around on the fur-covered carpet like a child, having a great time.
"Then this will be our place. I have nothing else to attend to here, but please remember to deliver food on time." Ren Pingsheng reminded him at last.
"Yes, food, and more food. Don't forget!" Yi Qingyi said while lying on the carpet, lifting her little head with sparkling eyes. She had already become a standard little foodie; as soon as food was mentioned, she perked up immediately.
"Hehe, don't worry; there will be plenty of delicious dishes." The old man chuckled softly before slowly exiting and gently closing the door. This door was also significant; once closed during the auction period, no one from outside could enter without permission from those inside.
Before long, in a secret room of Baoyue Building, the old man who had previously led Ren Pingsheng in was speaking respectfully to a middle-aged man.
"The Golden Token? It hasn't appeared in over ten years. Chen Jin, is it held by a young person?" The middle-aged man pondered for a moment before speaking slowly.
"Yes, sir. A young man accompanied by a girl about fifteen or sixteen years old. There is no one else." Chen Jin replied softly.
"Oh? Could they also be here for that item? I wonder which ancient monster's descendant they are. Forget it; have someone serve them carefully. The Golden Token represents the highest VIP level in our four domains; we cannot afford any mistakes that would embarrass our Baoyue Merchant Guild. You may leave now!"
"Yes, my lord." The room returned to calm once again.
"The Golden Order? It seems many old monsters will be taking action. This Heaven and Earth Cataclysm, I wonder what the final scene will look like, and how many forces will survive." The middle-aged man muttered to himself.
Time passed slowly, and more and more people entered the Baoyue Building. The auction hall was already filled with attendees. The empty VIP rooms welcomed one esteemed guest after another. Everyone was waiting for the auction to begin, all eyes on the auction list.
Ninety percent of the items for this auction were listed on this document. Aside from some secret treasures that remained confidential, everything else was detailed one by one, even including their basic uses.
Without considering the secret treasures, just the nearly one thousand items on this list were enough to make everyone's hearts race with envy. Heavenly materials and earthly treasures, miraculous pills, martial arts techniques, weapons, and armor were all included.
"Ahem... Hello everyone, I will be your host for this auction. I believe those who have attended previous auctions should recognize me. Allow me to introduce myself again; I am Liu Yishou. Now, let's officially begin the auction." An elderly man with graying hair stepped onto the auction stage, his eyes sparkling with vitality as if he could see through everything at a glance. His cultivation level was unfathomably deep.
"Hey, it's that old fellow hosting the auction again; with him here, ordinary people wouldn't dare to act recklessly," some warriors in the VIP rooms commented, seemingly well aware of his background.
"The first item for auction is the Flowing Cloud Sword, crafted by a master blacksmith. It can enhance cloud attribute martial techniques and is the best gift for disciples or juniors. The starting price is one hundred medium-grade spirit stones, with each bid increasing by no less than ten medium-grade spirit stones." Liu Yishou held up a long sword and spoke slowly as he infused it with true energy, causing it to shine brilliantly.
"One hundred ten medium-grade spirit stones." A warrior with respect-level cultivation immediately placed a bid. Some had entered alongside others, while some had connections. Such a weapon was perfect for them.
"I bid one hundred fifty; this sword is mine and no one can take it away." Another warrior placed a bid.
"Three hundred!" Suddenly a voice rang out, startling many warriors who were preparing to bid. This price exceeded many people's expectations. In the end, the weapon fell into the hands of a man in black clothing.
"The second item for auction is the Barrier Breaking Pill. Many of you may have heard of it; this pill aids in breaking through to complete respect-level cultivation and can increase your chances by one-third. With this pill in hand, becoming a sect-level powerhouse is almost guaranteed. The starting price is five hundred medium-grade spirit stones, with each bid increasing by no less than fifty medium-grade spirit stones."
"I bid six hundred Spirit Stones!" As soon as the words were spoken, a martial artist with respect-level cultivation couldn't help but make a move.
For someone at the respect level, this Elixir was undoubtedly a miraculous medicine. Even Ren Pingsheng felt somewhat tempted. However, seeing the increasingly fierce competition below, he ultimately decided to give up. For him, breaking through to the Supreme Realm did not require relying on an Elixir. That was merely a method used by those whose talents had been exhausted or who sought shortcuts.
In the end, the Barrier Breaking Pill fell into the hands of a martial artist at the Perfected Respect Level in the Hall. He was quite decisive. After winning the auction, he didn't bother with the subsequent items and immediately left. Of course, if one looked closely, several martial artists secretly followed him out.
The next auction items were mostly suitable for Supreme Realm martial artists, which sparked a series of intense competitions. It could be said that among the tens of thousands of participants in the Auction, at least half were martial artists of the Supreme Realm. The people in the VIP rooms did not make any moves at all.
Either they had high cultivation and had no use for these items, or they had extraordinary identities and significant backgrounds, so they were not lacking in these Elixirs and Treasures. Instead, they watched with amusement as the martial artists in the Hall fought fiercely.
"The next item up for auction is something that many people might like. This is a piece of casting Materials, and I wonder if anyone recognizes it." Liu Yishou held up a golden stone about the size of an egg and asked with a smile.
"This... could this be Geng Metal?" Among the tens of thousands of martial artists, there were certainly some well-informed individuals who immediately guessed it. This instantly sparked enthusiasm among many people, including several from the VIP rooms who also felt tempted.
"Haha, that's right! This is indeed Geng Metal. This material can be considered the top choice for forging a King's Artifact. Such a large piece is truly rare. It is hard and sharp, capable of breaking through anything. Even if you mix a little into your current weapon and reforged it, it could transform your weapon completely. The starting price is ten thousand mid-grade Spirit Stones, or one hundred High-Grade Spirit Stones. The minimum increment must be no less than one hundred mid-grade Spirit Stones. Now, let the bidding begin!"
"Eleven thousand!" This bid came from some martial artists of Zongji Jing, who were the only ones who could use it. Naturally, some capable Supreme Realm martial artists were also interested; besides forging a King's Artifact, this Geng Metal could also elevate their weapons to a new level.
"Fifteen thousand!" After a brief silence, competition intensified further. More and more martial artists participated in the bidding. The Geng Metal could be classified among rare treasures and was very seldom encountered. Such Materials would typically be kept by anyone with some strength.
Ren Pingsheng leaned lightly against his chair, his eyes fixed intently on that piece of Geng Metal on the auction stage, looking somewhat puzzled. "It feels so familiar; I must have seen it somewhere."
He closed his eyes, unaffected by the fierce bidding below.
"By the way, could it be that?" He slapped his thigh and excitedly jumped up from his chair. After rummaging through the Spatial Ring for a while, he finally found a slightly smaller golden stone. This was something he had accidentally obtained from a Golden Devouring Mouse in the Chu King's Secret Realm. Now it seemed to be exactly the same as the Geng Metal on stage.
"The Golden Devouring Mouse likes to devour metals, so if it had Geng Metal on it, it's not impossible," Ren Pingsheng said with a smile as he sat down, ignoring Yi Qingyi's puzzled gaze.
"Geng Metal, it seems I can refine the King's Artifact again when the time comes. I just wonder if the Changping Sword has any Geng Metal in it." He was quite pleased to suddenly have such a Treasure.
At this moment, the competition for Geng Metal had reached its climax. The VIP room was filled with people making bids. The price had already risen to eighty thousand medium-grade Spirit Stones.
"This item is ours at One-Pin Hall, One Hundred Thousand medium-grade Spirit Stones!" A deep voice resonated throughout the auction Hall.
"One-Pin Hall? Forget it, it's just a piece of Geng Metal; there's no need to fight them to the death over it." Many martial artists in the VIP rooms weighed their options and chose to give up. Mainly because the price of Geng Metal was already quite high; any more would be a loss.
More importantly, in their eyes, this Geng Metal could only be considered decent and was far from being worth a desperate fight. Otherwise, if it were truly an astonishing Treasure, even One-Pin Hall would not let go of it.
The next Treasure was an Armor, one that could be used by Zongji Jing-level experts. Naturally, it sparked another round of competition and ultimately fell into the hands of the Thirty VIP Room.
Thus, one Treasure after another was auctioned off, creating a lively atmosphere with intense competition. Those with substantial financial resources kept bidding, while those with average status could only watch enviously from below, regretting their lack of strength and connections.
The Thirty VIP Room frequently made bids, acquiring over thirty items out of more than a hundred Treasures, drawing attention from many martial artists. Even those in other VIP rooms began to take notice.
During this time, Ren Pingsheng also made a bid once and successfully acquired a Wanrui Flower, one of the Materials for brewing Drunken Red Dust. Since its utility was limited, not many people competed with him for it, and he easily secured it.
