I am Master Maoshan

Chapter 1979 The Auction Begins

Jinliufu Cashbox is famous throughout the entire divine realm. The forces behind it are complex and the business it runs is extensive and mysterious.

The super auction held this time attracted major forces, wealthy businessmen and countless people with various thoughts from all over the world.

Liu Jun and his group had already arrived at the exclusive auction house of Jinliufu Qiangui. They passed through the bustling streets, which were full of people who came to attend the ceremony and auction, and their faces were filled with excitement and anticipation.

This auction house is located not far from the Jinliufu Qiangui branch. Compared with the majestic and magnificent building of the branch, the auction house does not have such a shocking appearance, but it shows the ultimate luxury everywhere. From a distance, it is like a low-key and dazzling pearl, exuding a unique charm.

Entering the auction house, the first floor is a spacious and bright hall. The floor of the hall is paved with mirror-like marble, which reflects people's figures with every step. On the walls around the hall, there are priceless art paintings, which are delicate and colorful, as if telling ancient and mysterious stories. In the center of the hall, there are rows of neatly arranged chairs, which are now full of people, whispering to each other and discussing the upcoming auction.

Going up the exquisite staircase, the second and third floors are decorated in various private rooms with different styles. These rooms have their own characteristics, some are full of classical charm, wooden carved doors and windows, and retro lamps, as if taking people back to ancient times; others are full of modern luxury, with dazzling crystal chandeliers and soft animal skin sofas, all showing the ultimate enjoyment.

Some of the top bosses were arranged on the third floor. The space on the third floor was relatively private and the environment was more quiet. There were only sixteen rooms on the third floor, and each room symbolized identity and status.

Needless to say, Room No. 1 on the third floor was specially prepared for the manager and the saint of Jinliufu Cash Box.

As for Room No. 2, it was specially reserved by Shopkeeper Qian Liu for Liu Jun and his friends.

Although it is a private room, it is very spacious and can accommodate dozens of people without feeling crowded.

The reason why this auction has attracted so much attention is the large number of rare items being auctioned.

All kinds of rare treasures, mysterious martial arts manuals, powerful magic weapons, etc. will be unveiled at this auction. Coupled with the strong attraction of the Ten Thousand Years Fire Ceremony, the auction site is crowded.

The huge auction house was crowded with people and very lively. Some people even resold the seats at a high price. They sneaked around outside the auction house and bargained with those who didn't have seats but were eager to enter the auction, trying to make huge profits. The whole scene was noisy and lively, but there was also a sense of tension and expectation, as if a storm was about to come.

"Brother, wait a moment. The auction is about to begin. Do you have any ideas or anything to say?" Shopkeeper Qian Liu came briskly to the box where Liu Jun and the others were with a smile on his face.

"No, I just want to ask, has the birdman come?" Liu Jun frowned slightly and asked seriously.

Aren’t those bird people the biggest suckers at this auction?

"Yes, we're here. We're in Room 9 on the third floor, right opposite you." Shopkeeper Qian Liu replied quickly.

You know, every box here is equipped with an oversized piece of glass. And this piece of glass is not ordinary, it has a wonderful array carefully carved on it.

When the array is not activated, it can achieve a double-sided transparent effect. In other words, people outside can clearly see the scene inside the box, and people inside the box can also see outside without any hindrance.

Of course, it can also activate the formation and become one-way transparent. In this mode, people inside the box can still see everything outside, but people outside cannot spy on the situation inside the box.

At this moment, in the box opposite, this magical formation was not activated. Because of this, it was possible to clearly see the Eight-Winged Feather Emperor and the Six-Winged Princes staying in the box.

"Sixth brother, just go and do your own thing. Don't worry about us. Just proceed as planned." Liu Jun said calmly.

"Okay, brother, if you have any problems, just give me a call." After responding, Shopkeeper Qian Liu hurriedly left the box.

For such a large-scale auction, he needed to deal with many complicated matters. Being able to take time out to come and say hello was already a great effort squeezed out of his busy schedule.

"Brother Jun, it was that group of damn birdmen who wanted to eat me before!" The fat man gritted his teeth in anger, and his expression looked as if he wanted to eat the other party alive.

"Don't worry, we will never forget this grudge." Liu Jun grinned slightly and revealed a sneer.

The Eight-Winged Feather Emperor on the opposite side seemed to be keenly aware of Liu Jun's gaze, and looked over at him without any hesitation.

However, Liu Jun had already activated the formation, and the glass was one-way visible, so it was impossible to see what was going on inside from the outside.

Eight-winged Feather Emperor lazily leaned back on the soft seat, frowned slightly, and asked slowly, "Who is in the box opposite?"

The voice was low but carried unquestionable majesty, echoing softly in the box.

Prince Wei Bai, who was standing by, came over quickly with a respectful look on his face and quickly replied, "Your Majesty, I really don't know. The confidentiality of Jinliufu Cashbox was extremely good this time, and the situation of the private rooms on the third floor is very secretive. At present, we only know that the chief steward of the Divine King Palace is in the No. 1 private room. As for the other private rooms, we really have no idea who is in them."

As Prince Wei Bai spoke, he lowered his head slightly, not daring to look directly into the eyes of the Eight-Winged Feather Emperor.

When the Eight-Winged Feather Emperor heard this, a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes. He waved his hand gently, and said in a commanding tone: "Send someone to check it out. The box opposite gives me a feeling that something is not right." "I'll go right away!" Prince Wei Bai responded without hesitation.

After saying that, he turned around quickly and left the box in a hurry. His movements were clean and neat, not daring to delay for even a moment.

After Prince Wei Bai left, the Eight-Winged Feather Emperor turned his gaze to Aolaideqi who was standing beside him, and asked calmly, "Aolaideqi, how is the preparation of the divine coins I asked you to prepare going?"

Olaidqi hurriedly stepped forward, bowed slightly, and replied respectfully with a confident smile on his face: "Your Majesty, everything is ready. According to your instructions, a full 30 billion divine coins have been prepared. Judging from the situation of this auction, this amount of divine coins must be enough to buy the antidote."

The Eight-Winged Feather Emperor nodded slightly, a hint of pain in his eyes.

These 30 billion divine coins were the strategic reserves that Qianyu City had accumulated after many years of hard work. Not to mention auctioning off an antidote, even if he wanted to buy this entire luxurious auction house, these 20 billion divine coins would be more than enough.

If he wasn't forced to do so, he would not touch the money no matter what.

"Everyone, please be quiet for a moment. The auction is about to begin." A female host dressed in gorgeous clothes and with exquisite makeup walked gracefully to the wide round stage on the first floor of the auction house.

As the female host gracefully appeared on the stage, the auction house, which had just been filled with noise and bustle, suddenly became silent.

"First of all, I would like to sincerely thank you all for coming here. At the same time, I would also like to express my deep gratitude to all the sellers for their full trust in our Jinliufu Cash Box and their willingness to hand over their invaluable treasures to us for auction." The female host said in a clear voice with a friendly and charming smile on her face.

"Stop wasting time and get straight to the point!" A burly and anxious buyer in the front row of the first-floor hall couldn't help but shout.

"It seems that everyone is very impatient, so I won't waste any more time. Now let's invite you to our first item - the Demigod Priest's Scepter!" The female host's smile was still as bright as ever, and she responded quickly and took over the conversation immediately.

"Demigod priest's staff?" This questioning cry suddenly sounded at the auction site.

"Is the first thing at the opening so amazing?" Someone else couldn't help but exclaimed, his voice full of disbelief.

“Did I hear it right? It’s the demigod priest’s staff?” Questioning words came one after another, and when the first item was announced, the entire auction was in an uproar.

You know, this demigod priest's staff has always been kept in the solemn and mysterious demigod priest temple.

The staff of each high priest will be solemnly placed there after his mission is completed.

However, there was once a traitor among the demigods who was so bold as to steal one of the staffs.

Since then, the staff has been lost without a trace. The demigods have tried their best to find it, using all possible methods and means, but they still have no clues or traces. Unexpectedly, it appeared here today.

As an auction house attendant walked steadily onto the stage carrying an exquisite long wooden box, the atmosphere of the entire auction was instantly ignited, becoming heated and tense.

The hostess gently opened the wooden box with careful movements, as if she was holding the most precious treasure in the world, and then gently took out the priest's staff from it.

The shape of this staff is quite ordinary. It looks like an old tree root that has experienced many years. Its surface is uneven and covered with traces of time. However, on top of this inconspicuous appearance, a dazzling snow-white gem is inlaid on the top. It is like the brightest star in the night sky, emitting a soft and mysterious light, adding a touch of extraordinary atmosphere to this seemingly ordinary staff.

When the staff appeared on the auction table, Nia in Liu Jun's box became excited instantly. She stared at the staff with a fiery light flashing in her eyes.

As a candidate for the next high priest of the demigods, Nia was naturally full of desire and expectation for this demigod priest's staff that had been lost for many years. She knew that this staff not only represented the glory and heritage of the demigods, but also contained a powerful mysterious power.

However, she now understood where she was. This was the auction house, a place full of competition and wealth. She was far from being qualified to compete for the staff, whether in terms of strength or financial resources. Despite this, her heart was still filled with reluctance and struggle. She longed to bring the staff back to the demigods in person and make it shine again.

The female host looked at the enthusiastic eyes of the audience and said with a smile: "I believe everyone has heard of this demigod priest's staff. As for its specific usage, I don't know, but this does not affect its preciousness and rarity. Now, the starting price is one million divine coins, and the bidding begins!"

As soon as the hostess finished speaking, biddings started to rise from the audience. "Three million!" "Five million!" "Six million!"... The price soared like a wild horse, leaving people dumbfounded.

In the midst of the fierce bidding, a loud voice suddenly rang out: "Twenty-five million!"

As soon as this price was announced, the entire auction hall fell silent. People turned to look at the person who had bid the high price, their eyes filled with surprise.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the price of this demigod priest's staff quickly soared to an incredible height.

However, Nia's heart was filled with helplessness and unwillingness. If she had known earlier that the staff would appear here, she would have told her master, and then the demigods would have done their utmost to take the staff.
