297: Bidding

However, as a power that ranks high in the entire Eastern Profound Domain, it's not strange to have a God Cultivation in the Connecting Heaven Realm.

There's also the Eastern Sea Sword Saint, I heard he resides on an island in the Eastern Sea.

It is precisely because of him that the Shenwu Empire has almost no control over the entire Eastern Sea.

Powerhouses at the peak of the Heavenly Imperial Realm and Eternal Realm, like the Holy Martial Emperor and the Divine Martial Grand General, were instantly killed by his single move.

The Shenwu Empire certainly wouldn't dare to extend its tendrils into the Eastern Sea for a while.

When will he also be able to become such a powerhouse!

No one knew how scared Chen De was since coming to this world.

Chen De felt like a naive little white rabbit, surrounded by ill-intentioned wolves.

He was constantly on edge, afraid of being sold out and even helping count the money for the seller.

Countless times in the dark of night, he was so scared he wanted to cry. Oh heavens, why are there so many bad people in this world!

Chen De gently exhaled. Perhaps only at the level of the Eastern Sea Sword Saint could he feel a little sense of security.

He was just, he was truly just a little too scared.

Just as Chen De was shedding tears, he noticed the palm print beside him slowly glowing with a clear light.

The maid kneeling beside him reminded him, "My Lord, the auction is about to begin."

It seems the glowing palm print was a signal that the auction was about to start.

Chen De nodded, "Oh!"

Hearing that the auction was about to begin, Chen De placed his palm on the palm print again.

Opening his eyes, his consciousness once again entered the special space from before.

Chen De looked around again. This time, most of the seats were already occupied.

Empty seats also gradually materialized figures.

How safe!

This place is likely somewhere within the auction house, and through a God Cultivation device, the consciousnesses of those participating in the auction are pulled in.

This ensures client privacy and prevents anyone from trying to seize treasures during the auction.

Of course, doing this also makes it much easier for the auction house to arrange for shills to drive up prices.

But since they can operate and so many people participate, there must be some reason behind it.

At this moment, the stage had already lit up, and the auctioneer was a young and beautiful woman.

Her figure was curvaceous and explosive, her ample chest almost bursting through her thin clothes, and an elegant smile graced her lips.

Her skirt hem only reached her upper thighs, and from Chen De's close vantage point, he could vaguely see a hint of white in the middle.

She bowed to the audience, revealing a perfect cleavage.

"Thank you all very much for coming to our auction.

I hope everyone will be able to bid for what they desire in the upcoming auction."

Hearing the auctioneer's words, everyone looked towards the stage, but that was all.

As for being attracted by the woman on stage, that was simply impossible.

Those who could sit here were at least existences at the Myriad Transformation Realm level.

What kind of beauties haven't such individuals seen in their daily lives!

Those in the Spirit Opening Realm can become city lords, with millions of residents under their command.

Those in their Myriad Transformation Realm can even serve as prefecture lords, and among hundreds of millions of people, they can find any style they desire.

Many people want to curry favor with them daily, and those who send money and beauties are not a few.

Their glance was merely because she was a beautiful disciple from the Fangtian Sect.

Seeing that her attempt to liven the atmosphere didn't work, the beautiful auctioneer on stage didn't find it strange, nor did she feel the awkwardness of a newcomer facing a silent crowd.

These people were all seasoned veterans; only a few could be tempted by beauty.

She smiled gently and politely at everyone.

"Seeing everyone's high enthusiasm, I believe you all understand the rules of the auction, so I, this humble one, will not bore you with further details.

Then, let us proceed to the main event; the auction officially begins!"

As her voice fell, she moved slightly to the side.

Clapping her hands, a table made of glazed material, covered in exotic beast patterns, slowly rose from the center of the stage.

The table glowed faintly, and on it sat a small display case, inside which was a box.

Presented in the box was a pill with azure patterns, a mix of blue and white.

"First to appear is our first item, a fourth-grade pill—the Ice Glaze One-Color Pill.

It has two major effects: one is to cleanse the body and purify impurities, increasing the chance of breaking through from the Spirit Opening Realm to the Myriad Transformation Realm.

The other is for those below the third stage of the Myriad Transformation Realm, to strengthen the physical body's qualitative change effect, with a certain probability of raising one's cultivation level.

According to the auction house rules, its origin cannot be disclosed.

Starting bid: 3000 Spirit Crystals.

Each bid increase must not be less than 100 Spirit Crystals."

As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, someone below immediately called out a price.

"Seven thousand Spirit Crystals!"

Soon, someone else offered a higher price.

"Seven thousand five hundred!"

"Seven thousand eight hundred!"

...

The starting bid is just the starting bid. In an auction, most items, except for those that go unsold, are rarely bought at their base price.

Among them, pill-type items rarely go unsold; unless their efficacy is particularly limited, they almost always sell out.

And pills like this, which can directly enhance cultivation, are even more sought-after.

Finally, this Ice Glaze One-Color Pill was acquired by a bidder in the back row for a price of thirteen thousand Spirit Crystals.

As for the people in the front row, especially those around Chen De, they showed no reaction at all.

Clearly, those who could sit in the front row were most likely Void Union Realm cultivators, just like Chen De.

At this level, pills like the Ice Glaze One-Color Pill no longer held any interest for them.

Obviously, they were all targeting the last few items up for auction.

Chen De had no intention of interacting with these people, and they clearly had no desire to interact either.

Coming to an auction here, besides the abundance of good items, wasn't it precisely because it allowed them to conceal their identities, saving them trouble later?

Next, the auctioneer on stage began to introduce the second item.

"Here, I warmly congratulate the previous customer on successfully bidding for what he desired. Congratulations, congratulations.

And our next item is also no less impressive than the last one."

Pointing to a booklet on the display stand, she began to introduce it to everyone.

"The second item is a True-grade martial skill—Nine Infant Purple Light!

According to the cultivation method's description, after cultivating this technique to great success, the total amount of soul power will be nine times that of the same level.

And it will generate soul purple light, which can be used for attack, defense, and various other wondrous uses.

Starting bid: 8000 Spirit Crystals.

Each bid must not be less than 500 Spirit Crystals."

This item being auctioned was clearly a God Cultivation system cultivation method.

However, in the Four Profound Heavens, the martial artist system is the mainstream; people from other systems combined might not even be half as numerous as those in the martial artist system.

Therefore, this time, the bidding was not as intense as the previous one.

It was finally acquired by someone for a price of thirty-seven thousand Spirit Crystals.
