325: Exhausting the power of blood

"The Crushing Yin Finger is a rare Divine Ability finger technique, its true value is above a million dao coinss. However, as it's the first item up for auction, the starting bid won't be set that high. Bidding can start at one hundred thousand!"

This old man was clearly an experienced auctioneer. He didn't rush to inflate prices at the start, but instead used it as an opening to set the mood.

And a starting bid of one hundred thousand dao coinss was clearly not an expensive price for those who needed a Level 10 VIP card for admission.

Therefore, as soon as the old man finished speaking, a flurry of bids immediately erupted.

"One hundred fifty thousand!"

"Two hundred thousand!"

"Four hundred thousand!"

“...”

Listening to the constantly rising bids below the stage, Lin Yang didn't rush to speak.

Although he now had tens of billions in wealth, enough for him to spend lavishly, he couldn't waste it.

If this Crushing Yin Finger were a Heavenly Immortal Rank Divine Ability, he might consider it.

Unfortunately, this was only an Earth Immortal level Divine Ability, which clearly held little attraction for him now.

"One million one hundred thousand, going once!"

"One million one hundred thousand, going twice!"

"One million one hundred thousand, going three times!"

"Sold!"

Before long, as the old man's resonant voice fell, the first item of this auction was acquired by a mysterious woman for a million.

The first item fetching a high price of a million was clearly a good start, successfully stirring up the atmosphere in the venue.

Immediately after, the old man struck while the iron was hot, successively bringing out other auction items.

Some treasures were provided by the auction house itself, while more auction items came from Cultivators across the four seas and eight wastes, presented after cooperating with the auction house.

And these items up for auction were all rare treasures, coupled with the experienced auctioneer's operation on stage, they all sold for very good prices.

As time passed, another item was presented.

It was a half-zhang sized red carnelian, looking incredibly heavy, and was carried up by four Immortal Dao Experts working together.

Seeing this, the audience below cast puzzled glances.

Because, generally speaking, even the most precious agate stone would only reach a maximum of nearly ten thousand dao coins; how could it appear in an auction of this caliber?

"Everyone, aren't you curious why such a piece of agate stone suddenly appeared among the auction items?"

The old man looked around, seeing the puzzled looks in many people's eyes, and smiled as he walked to the red carnelian's side: "That's because this red carnelian is very unusual!"

"Elder Pei, stop keeping us in suspense, quickly tell us what's so special about this agate stone!"

A voice came from a front-row seat below the stage, seemingly familiar with the old auctioneer on stage.

"Heh heh, alright, this old man won't keep you guessing anymore."

Hearing the urging from below, the old man smiled and continued: "After secret method appraisal by our Immortal Alliance, this agate stone contains a drop of the Force Peak Realm Blood, sealed from ancient times until now!"

"What!? The Force Peak Realm Blood!"

As soon as these words were uttered, the audience instantly erupted in an uproar.

The Force Peak Realm Blood is precious blood that can only be conceived within the bodies of peerless figures who have Cultivated their Physical Body to its ultimate Peak!

This rare precious blood is difficult to be born even within an Immortal King's body; it cannot be conceived by anyone who has not reached the Physical Body's extreme!

Even Lin Yang, whose physique is currently at the Eleventh Heaven, does not have such extreme power blood in his body.

If he could reach the indestructible twelfth heaven, perhaps he could create new Force Peak Realm Blood.

But for now, it was not possible.

After the exclamations from below gradually subsided, the old man continued with a smile: "The value of the Force Peak Realm Blood, I presume this old man doesn't need to elaborate. Even a single drop is enough to transform one completely. Therefore, the starting bid will be set at one million dao coinss."

Looking at the crowd already impatiently standing up from their seats, the old man pondered for a moment, then solemnly said: "There's one more thing that this old man feels it's necessary to explain beforehand."

"Although we can determine that a drop of the Force Peak Realm Blood is sealed inside through secret methods, due to the extremely long passage of time, we cannot be certain whether the Origin of the Force Peak Realm Blood within has already completely dissipated."

Although, as an auctioneer, it is their primary duty to use every means to sell the items at a high price.

However, considering long-term interests, if an item up for auction contains potential risks, all participants should be informed of the possible problems before the auction begins.

Otherwise, if the auctioneer does not inform them in advance, leading to a customer buying a flawed item at a high price, it will inevitably cause a series of troubles later.

Especially, this would severely damage the reputation of both the auctioneer and the auction house.

One must know that integrity is the foundation of long-term business.

If the auction house's reputation collapses, even if it is backed by the Immortal Alliance, it will no longer be able to attract distinguished guests to its doors.

Therefore, even though the old man knew that revealing the information about the agate stone might cause the final transaction price of this drop of Force Peak Realm Blood to fall below expectations, for the sake of the auction house's and his own reputation, he had to state it truthfully.

"So, does this mean that the Force Peak Realm Blood inside is very likely to be ineffective?"

Many enthusiastic people below the stage frowned upon hearing the old man's words, and their excitement immediately diminished by more than half.

After all, a drop of the Force Peak Realm Blood with its Origin exhausted might not be much different from ordinary blood.

Anyone who pays a high price for it would undoubtedly be a complete fool.

And the old man just said that this drop of blood was suspected to have been sealed from ancient times until now.

Who knows how many tens of thousands of years have passed since then.

Under such a long period of erosion, it is highly probable that the Origin of the Force Peak Realm Blood inside has been exhausted!

Looking at the gradually silent auction house, although the old man on stage maintained his smile, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat internally.

Because the Force Peak Realm Blood within this agate stone had been repeatedly probed by their Immortal Alliance's experts using various secret methods.

Each time, the reaction was extremely faint.

In other words, the Force Peak Realm Blood inside had most likely turned into ordinary blood.

Anyone who wants to bid for this agate stone must be prepared to be a gambler.

If the Origin of the Force Peak Realm Blood is still intact, then it's naturally a sure profit.

But if only a dried-up drop of blood remains, then one can only swallow their teeth with a bitter taste.

After all, the old man had already stated that they do not guarantee the Force Peak Realm Blood inside is completely intact, and once sold, it will not be returned or exchanged!

"Two million!"

However, among the distinguished guests present, there were quite a few wealthy individuals. Even knowing that this was a gamble, and they might return empty-handed, someone immediately called out a price after the old man's words fell.
