Chapter 137 Fierce Bidding, Farewell to Aerial Combat! [Please Read On]

Upon seeing this, the old man smiled faintly, gripped his azure longsword, and with a tremor of the blade, a faint chill rose up, forming a wisp of white mist.

He turned to look into the auction hall, explained the details of the azure longsword, and then said with a smile, "The starting price for this sword is 100,000. Please proceed."

"One hundred and five thousand!"

"110,000!"

"..."

Not long after the old man finished speaking, a series of bids rang out in the auction hall.

After several minutes of bidding, the azure longsword was successfully purchased by a thin man with an excited expression for 150,000 gold coins.

Xiao Lei and his three companions looked at the longsword with indifferent expressions, showing no interest, and silently waited for the next item to be auctioned.

After the first auction went smoothly, a dazzling array of treasures began to appear on the auction stage, including armor, fighting techniques, cultivation methods, medicinal herbs, and more!

Surprisingly, a beautiful girl of twelve or thirteen years old was also auctioned off.

Xiao Lei wasn't interested in most of the auction items, but he did manage to acquire all the medicinal herbs in several auctions.

Xiao Lei possesses an automatic alchemy furnace, so naturally, the more medicinal herbs the better. Even if he doesn't need them now, he might be able to use them when refining some kind of pill in the future.

Anyway, he had more gold coins than he could ever spend, so keeping them would be a waste.

Xiao Lei's extravagant spending on medicinal herbs attracted the attention of many people at the auction, with some even mistaking him for an alchemist.

Xiao Lei didn't care about any of this. Even if it attracted a lot of attention, it was no big deal to him.

If someone in this auction house wanted to make a move against him after the auction ended, that would suit his purposes perfectly, as he could earn some extra money on the side.

"bite……"

Another clear bell rang from the crystal platform. The white-haired auctioneer, with a smile on his face, took a small silver tray from a maid. On the tray were two small, transparent jade bottles, each containing a pale blue pill.

This elixir attracted a lot of attention as soon as it appeared.

After all, on the Dou Qi Continent, elixirs are a highly sought-after item, comparable to cultivation techniques and combat skills.

Furthermore, some pills that can directly enhance one's strength are even more sought after by countless people.

"Hehe, this pill is called the Azure Spirit Pill. I'm sure many people have heard of its name..." The white-haired auctioneer pointed to the pill in the bottle and said with a smile.

As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, a commotion broke out in the auction hall, with countless eyes fixed on the jade bottle in the silver tray.

Such elixirs, capable of helping people break down class barriers, are almost impossible to find even in the Black Corner Region.

"Of course, since you've all heard of the Azure Spirit Pill, you must also be aware of its side effects," the auctioneer said, a sly glint in his eyes as he looked at the restless crowd below. He didn't explain the pill's backlash effects in detail, only mentioning them vaguely. Then, with a wave of his hand, he announced, "Starting price: 300,000!"

"Three hundred and forty thousand!"

The auctioneer had barely finished speaking when someone in the back seat shouted out loud.

"Three hundred and fifty thousand!"

"Three hundred and sixty thousand!"

"..."

Soon, another fierce auction began.

Xiao Yan, sitting quietly in his chair next to Xiao Lei, listened to the prices that kept ringing in his ears, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

"You're the one who put this Azure Spirit Pill up for auction, aren't you?" Looking at Xiao Yan's expression, Xiao Lei smiled slightly and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

Xiao Yan nodded slightly upon hearing Xiao Lei's words. "Yes, I'm sorry to have troubled you, Cousin Xiao Lei. I'm a little short on cash and I'm worried that I won't have enough gold coins to buy what I want at the auction, so..."

Xiao Lei smiled and said, "If you're short of gold coins, just let me know. I have quite a few here."

"Yes, I will," Xiao Yan said, scratching his head.

However, unless absolutely necessary, Xiao Yan did not want to trouble Xiao Lei any further.

Xiao Lei has helped him a lot over the past few years.

As the two spoke in hushed tones, the price of the Azure Spirit Pill had already soared to 490,000, and almost no one in the auction house continued to bid.

After all, this price is already quite high.

"Five hundred and fifty thousand!"

Just when Xiao Yan thought the price was settled, a slightly sinister voice suddenly rang out from a seat not far from them.

The person bidding was none other than Fan Ling, the young sect master of the Blood Sect.

After Fan Ling made his bid, the auction house fell silent for a while, because in the Black Corner Region, few people dared to continue competing with the Blood Sect, let alone the fact that they couldn't win the bid.

"Five hundred and sixty thousand!"

Suddenly, another faint voice sounded from the side.

Xiao Lei looked over and saw that the person bidding was a middle-aged man wearing a gray robe with skulls.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

"Those are people from the Black Skull Tomb," Hai Bodong said in a low voice when he saw Xiao Lei's gaze.

The Black Skull Tomb is also a formidable force in the Black Corner Region. It is said that the cultivation techniques they practice are quite bizarre, and their attributes tend to be somewhat rare dark attributes.

"Although there are few people in this Black Skull Tomb, they are all elite experts. They often clash with the Blood Sect, but with the leaders of both sides suppressing them, no large-scale battles have occurred," Hai Bodong said in a low voice to Xiao Lei and the other two.

Upon hearing Hai Bodong's words, Xiao Yan's gaze toward the man from the Black Skull Tomb became slightly sharp.

Xiao Lei and Cai Lin, however, did not take this to heart.

Neither the Black Skull Tomb nor the Blood Sect were as weak as they were.

Upon hearing someone bid, Fan Ling's eyes immediately turned cold. He glanced at the blank-faced middle-aged man, sneered, and said, "Five hundred and eighty thousand."

"Five hundred and ninety thousand!"

"Six hundred thousand!"

After a bidding war, Fan Ling, the young sect master of the Blood Sect, ultimately won the two Azure Spirit Pills at a price of 600,000 gold coins each, for a total of 1.2 million gold coins.

After the auction of the Azure Spirit Pill ended, the subsequent items did not fetch high prices, and the auction seemed to have fallen into a slump, causing the auctioneer on stage some financial pain.

Fortunately, after lasting for more than ten minutes, the low point suddenly lifted.

On the crystal platform, the auctioneer carefully lifted a scroll made of ancient jade and faced it with a mysterious expression.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the item to be auctioned next is probably very rare these days. It's also a combat technique, but an extremely special flying combat technique: Thunder Bat Wings!"

The auctioneer's hand trembled, and the scroll slid down sharply, revealing a set of miniature, eerie black bat wings in everyone's sight.

Soon, another fierce competition ensued, and in the end, Fan Ling, the young sect master of the Blood Sect, successfully won the bid for 1.9 million.

Following the conclusion of the Thunderbat Skywing auction, the company subsequently entered a period of slump.

"Hehe, the items to be auctioned next are a bit strange, because even we don't know what they are. However, they do seem to be some kind of unknown treasure map."

The white-haired auctioneer bent down and took out a silver tray. Then, he carefully lifted the brocade cloth on the tray, revealing a tattered, ancient piece of cloth to everyone.

"Shh..."

Upon seeing the tattered cloth, the auction hall was silent for a moment before erupting in boos.

However, Xiao Yan, who was not far from Xiao Lei, suddenly sat up a little straighter.
