Extracting all things: My attributes grow infinitely.

On the day of the auction, Jiang Chuan arrived at the Liejin Trading Company's auction venue on time.

He was seated in a small private room on the third floor, near the side.

The view is pretty good.

You can see all the thousands of seats in the hall at a glance.

On the stage, a fox-clan auctioneer had already taken her place; she was a beautiful woman who looked to be in her early thirties.

She has a delicate face and a pleasant voice.

After the opening remarks, they got straight to the point.

"The first item up for auction is the Frostbite Wristguards, a low-grade divine artifact crafted by Master Huangshi of Molten City. The starting bid is 200,000 Molten Coins, and each bid must be at least 10,000 coins higher."

The auction has begun.

Jiang Chuan leaned back on the soft couch in the private room, idly watching the bidding below.

These low-grade artifacts held no appeal for him.

However, by observing other people's bids, he can gain a more intuitive understanding of the equipment market in Molten Core.

One item after another was brought up for auction.

It was filmed again.

Representatives of powerful clans spent lavishly, while individual players argued heatedly over a single piece of equipment.

Jiang Chuan did not participate in the bidding process.

But he was not idle either.

He fully utilized Xu Yinyin's talent for telepathy.

His mental energy covered every corner of the auction hall, and he actually managed to capture some special information.

"The Heavenly Ruins Secret Realm will open in three months. I heard from the clan that even the Fierce Dragon Clan has sent two Ascended God Elders to oversee it. Every race that ranks among the top in the Four Domains is keeping an eye on it this time."

The sound came from a corner of the hall.

Although it was pressed very low.

But in the face of Jiang Chuan's extraordinary perception, it was no different from speaking into his ear.

"Why is today's auction more than twice as lively as usual? Look at those private rooms on the fourth and fifth floors; there are at least ten members of the Holy Blood race alone. I even saw the Eternal Spirit Clan's emblem when I entered!"

"The Source Blood race has also arrived?"

"It seems this Heavenly Ruins Secret Realm truly holds extraordinary opportunities, just as the rumors suggest!"

"I heard that among the final items in this auction are some things that came from that secret realm. They must have come here for that reason!"

"If that's the case, today's auction is likely to go crazy by the end..."

Eternal Spirit Clan?

Jiang Chuan subconsciously looked towards the ten luxurious private rooms on the fifth floor.

That was one of the few places in the entire venue that even his mental power couldn't penetrate.

"The fact that this Heavenly Ruins Secret Realm could attract the attention of the Origin Blood Race is truly extraordinary."

Jiang Chuan's heart stirred slightly.

The four major Origin Blood races control the distribution of Origin Essence throughout the Origin Realm, holding an unparalleled position and never lacking cultivation resources.

It can be said.

The entire source world is their custom server.

What interests them must be at least on par with the rarity of the source material.

Even far exceeding that.

Thinking about it that way...

Jiang Chuan couldn't help but be tempted.

He naturally couldn't compete with the Source Blood race, but if he just followed along and picked up the scraps, with his abilities, it wouldn't be difficult for him to escape unscathed.

Jiang Chuan continued to extract useful information from the chaotic information on the scene.

At this time.

Finally, it was his turn to be auctioned off on the stage with his Divine Flame Spear.

The fox-clan auctioneer on the auction stage nodded slightly.

He gestured for silence from the audience.

He then said softly, "Distinguished guests, the next item is quite valuable, so please allow me a little more time to introduce it."

As soon as the words were spoken, two burly Stone Demon men pushed a display cart covered with red silk slowly onto the auction stage. The cart's wheels made a deep rumble as they rolled over the surface, clearly indicating that it contained something heavy.

The moment the red silk was lifted.

A blazing crimson-gold light instantly illuminated the entire auction stage.

The Divine Flame Spear lay quietly on the display stand, the vein-like flame patterns on its body dancing slowly under the lights, while the surrounding air was violently distorted by the scorching heat.

The auctioneer's voice rang out: "This spear is named Divine Flame, a mid-grade divine weapon with dual characteristics that make it extremely powerful in combat. Its value is exceptionally high. The starting bid is two million Molten Coins, and each bid must be at least one hundred thousand!"

Her revelation of the Divine Flame Spear caused quite a stir in the hall.

"What an exquisite weapon! Who crafted this?!"

"This combination of traits is even more ridiculously valuable in actual combat than a three-trait combination!"

"A starting bid of two million is too conservative; this gun would normally sell for over three million!"

"Two million six hundred thousand!"

Jiang Chuan sat in the private room, listening to the rising prices from all sides, and couldn't help but smile.

It seems these alien races are quite discerning.

Two million?

At this rate, four million might not even be the upper limit.

The bidding had already begun to pound wildly, with bids coming from the general public area and the private rooms on the second and third floors of the main hall. The numbers soared from two million to three million, then to three million, five hundred thousand, and four million.

Once the price reached the four million mark, the noise from the individual customers' area gradually subsided, leaving only a few private rooms on the second floor still haggling over prices.

Four million to five hundred thousand.

five million.

Five million one hundred thousand.

The bidding process finally slowed down.

Five million is already the highest transaction record for a mid-grade divine artifact in Molten City in the past ten years; any higher would be a pure loss.

The auctioneer was clearly experienced; seeing the bidding slow down, he appropriately lengthened his voice: "Five million one hundred thousand molten metal coins, any higher bids? Five million one hundred thousand for the first time..."

Just then.

A private room near the front of the fifth floor suddenly flickered, and a clear, languid voice rang out:

"Five and a half million."

Jiang Chuan squinted slightly, looking towards the fifth floor through the crystal curtain wall.

pity.

He can't see anything.

However, the guests who were invited into the private room on the fifth floor were probably not just from the Holy Blood Clan.

as predicted.

He soon heard someone in the lobby on the first floor exclaim in shock, "It's Haoguang, the Divine Child of the Eternal Spirit Clan!"

"It's actually that legendary divine child! It's said that he was already at the peak of the eighth rank before he was even twenty years old, and could take on three equally powerful Saint Blood prodigies with one hand!"

"Huh, given his status, why would he lack a mid-grade divine artifact, and why would he be willing to pay such a high price?"

"Heh, you think this price is high, but for them it's just pocket money!"

"A mere few million Molten Coins is nothing to the Source Blood race. They can easily sell a wisp of Source Essence for tens of millions!"

"Too……"

Jiang Chuan listened to the surrounding discussions casually, but he was secretly overjoyed.

He didn't care how noble the divine child of the Eternal Spirit Clan was.

All I know is that...

The other party was willing to pay an exorbitant price for his weapon!

No... If he's not a sucker, why would he call his sugar daddy that?! ...This is clearly a discerning and wise hermit!

The auctioneer cleared his throat, ready to proceed to the next round of bidding, following Haoguang Shenzi's words.

At this time.

The lights came on in another private room on the fifth floor.

A hoarse voice rang out, carrying a sarcastic laugh: "Haoguang, when did your Eternal Spirit Clan become so poor that you're even eyeing a mid-grade divine artifact? Has your Eternal Spirit Clan's treasury been emptied by rats?"

The entire auction hall fell silent immediately.

In this kind of situation, you can hardly find many people who would directly name someone and dare to call them by their first name.

Haoguang's voice suddenly carried a hint of displeasure: "What I want to buy is none of your business to ask!"

The hoarse voice continued, "Hehe, what a coincidence, I happen to be interested in this too. I'll offer five million six hundred thousand."

"Oh, they've started arguing!"

Jiang Chuan was startled.

He guessed that there was probably some kind of grudge between the two.

But at this moment, the deeper their grudges, the more advantageous it is for him, and his divine flame spear will only be valued more and more!

Not to be outdone, Haoguang Divine Son raised the price again: "Six million!"

"Six hundred and fifty."

"Seven hundred!"

The bidding price soared in the blink of an eye, and the auctioneer on stage began to look uneasy.

The one who dares to compete with Haoguang, the divine son of the Yongling Clan, is none other than himself.

It was the divine son of the Formless Clan, who was also a race of the same Origin Bloodline.

Two great source bloodline gods.

These are all extremely powerful entities that the Liejin Trading Company cannot afford to offend.

It's fine if they compete, but the real problem is if the losing side takes its anger out on the merchant guild. Even if they have the support of the Fierce Dragon Clan, they will definitely suffer the consequences!

The price soared to eight million in the blink of an eye, and Haoguang Divine Son's voice carried a hint of anger: "Thousand Eyes, do you really want to fight me to the bitter end?! If you have the guts, come out with me now and let's see how many eyes you have that can withstand my divine light!"

The hoarse voice fell silent for a moment, seemingly not wanting to truly provoke the Divine Son Haoguang.

half an hour.

He chuckled twice and said, "I was just joking with you. You really can't take a joke. Fine, then I won't argue with you."

The auctioneer on stage, overjoyed, hurriedly announced, "Eight million for the first time, eight million for the second time... and the third time! Congratulations to the guest in the private room on the fifth floor for winning this Divine Flame Spear!"

"snort!"

Haoguang Divine Son's dissatisfying snort echoed throughout the venue.

Although he won, and the amount of money was nothing to him, he felt disgusted by the other party's act, as if he had swallowed a nest of flies.

but.

The whole incident was ultimately just a minor episode at the auction.

On the auction stage, the auctioneer adjusted his demeanor, and his professional, sweet smile returned to his face.

"Next comes the grand finale of this auction, which I'm sure all of you distinguished guests have been waiting for..."

Jiang Chuan only glanced at the projection screen of the final item.

He then looked away.

It was a palm-sized, dark gold token, said to be a relic of a fallen god in the Heavenly Ruins Secret Realm, which could grant the holder a special inheritance qualification within the secret realm.

The fox-woman on the stage continued speaking, describing the origin and purpose of the token in an elaborate and colorful way.

In a private room on the fifth floor.

Several chilling auras were already subtly clashing.

Jiang Chuan had no interest in this at all.

It's easy to guess that so many members of the Holy Blood Clan and two divine sons of the Origin Blood Clan came to this auction, all for this token.

Even if he poured all his wealth into it, he still couldn't possibly compete with those prodigies of the Origin Bloodline.

not to mention.

He didn't even have a clear understanding of the specifics of the Heavenly Ruins Secret Realm, so there was no need for him to squander his fortune on something of unknown purpose.

He was quite satisfied with the Divine Flame Spear fetching a record price of eight million.

A 5% handling fee will be deducted from Liejin Trading Company's fees.

He netted 7.6 million.

With the original four million in his backpack, he now holds a huge sum of 11.6 million Molten Coins!

If this number were displayed a few days ago...

He didn't even dare to think about it.

After receiving his due share, Jiang Chuan immediately left the auction venue.

At this time, the sky was nearing dusk, and the entire Molten City was shrouded in a dark red light.

The streets were noisy.

The smells of various ethnic groups mingled with the smoky aroma wafting from the street-side barbecue stalls.

Jiang Chuan blended into the crowd, his appearance as a one-eyed race disguised by the Illusion Technique making him look no different from the other alien races around him.

After walking along the two main roads, the number of pedestrians around gradually decreased.

then.

Jiang Chuan sensed that something was wrong.

The mind immediately began to perceive, and the outlines of his figure following him were drawn out.

His expression immediately turned cold.

Were we being followed?
