Chapter 1117: The Blue Scales Fish Tribe (1/2)
When Huang Xiaolong stepped into the auction hall, there were only a scarce two or three hundred people scattered in different places in the enormous hall.
The auction hall seatings could accommodate twenty thousand people. Huang Xiaolong randomly picked an obscure corner seat and sat down.
A while later, streams of people ambled into the auction hall, quickly filling up the seats.
Roughly an hour later, the main door of the auction hall was closed, signaling that the auction was about to begin.
Huang Xiaolong secretly spread out his divine sense to survey the situation around the auction hall.
In general, those who attended the auction were low-level Heavenly God Realm cultivators and a few mid-level Heavenly God Realm cultivators, while only a small number were high-level Heavenly God Realm cultivators. Huang Xiaolong did not notice any Ancient God Realm masters present.
Perhaps the private rooms were arranged for the Ancient God Realm masters.
While Huang Xiaolong was checking his surroundings, a white-haired Clam Tribe old man walked up onto the stage and introduced himself to the attending guests, mentioning the auction rules at the end.
The Clam Tribe’s common surname was Bang, and this old man’s name was Bang Jile.
Huang Xiaolong nearly erupted into laughter hearing the name.
Huang Xiaolong found out that the naming sense of the people in this world was quite interesting, for example, Cao Bishi…
After a brief introduction, the auctioneer Bang Jile began presenting the first item.
The first auction item was a piece of deep-sea iron called Futu.
The starting bid price wasn't high, set at fifty thousand sea shenbi. In the end, it was bought by an Illusionary Fish Tribe member at two hundred thousand.
The second item was a Sun Moon Spirit Stone.
This Sun Moon Spirit Stone was an extremely peculiar object found in the Endless Sea; the top surface emitted the sun’s burning brilliance while the bottom of part exuded the moon’s cold radiance. On top of that, this Sun Moon Spirit Stone attracted nature’s rare yang and yin spiritual energy that was extremely beneficial to cultivators. Hence, when it appeared, it immediately drew fierce bidding.
Despite the low starting price of one million, it rapidly increased to five million, and the price was still rising!
In the end, it was sold for six million to an Electric Turtle Tribe disciple.
Although the Electric Turtle Tribe’s forces couldn't compare to the Clam Tribe, the gap was almost negligible.
Not far from the Clam Tribe’s territory was the territory of the Electric Turtle Tribe, therefore their tribe members were a common sight in the Clam Tribe’s cities.
Subsequently, the third item went up, then the fourth, the fifth…
Soon, over thirty items had been auctioned successfully.
The things being auctioned were generally rarely seen items, but Huang Xiaolong had yet to make a bid. Although these things were valuable, they weren't of much use to him, moreover, his main purpose in this auction was to acquire the herbs for refining the Reverse Incarnation Pill.
However, the next item genuinely surprised Huang Xiaolong — a Nefarious Devil gold core!
“Next to be auctioned is this item, a Nefarious Devil gold core left behind by an Ancient God Realm Nefarious Devil. The pure essence energy inside is completely intact, without the slightest damage.” The auctioneer Bang Jile pitched. “A Nefarious Devil gold core of a Third Order Ancient God Realm master, I’m sure everyone present understands how precious it is.”
“The starting bid price is one hundred million.”
“Please make your bid.”
A hundred million!
A Third Order Ancient God Realm Nefarious Devil’s gold core was worth far more than just a hundred million. Even so, there was a brief silence in the enormous auction hall. After all, a hundred million was no small sum, so a large number of small families extinguished the thought of bidding for it.
