<strong><u>Chapter 838: Auction!</u></strong>


    The metallic sound of metal things rubbing appeared from the floor of the auction stage as it slowly opened after the appearance of the energy ring. A stairway was extended underground


    It appeared in front of the gazes of a countless number of people in the auction ground.


    A golden-robed elder immediately carried a smile and slowly walked out after the stairs appeared. The moment he appeared, majestic aura slowly swept out of his body. Under this frightening aura, the nosiness within this enormous auction ground had bepletely silent.


    “What a strong aura. I think that this person should be the sect leader of the ck Emperor Sect, Mo Tian Xing, right?” Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes and studied the golden-robed elder before eximing.


    “Yes.” Little Fairy Doctor vaguely nodded. This Mo Tian Xing was not weaker than the old man who would not die from the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate back then. He was likely even a little stronger.


    “Ha ha, the old me is Mo Tian Xing. I think that quite a number of friends know me. Today, my ck Emperor Sect is organizing an auction, so the old me shall first thank everyone for joining us.” Mo Tian Xing, who had appeared, slowly swept his gaze around him. His gaze would pause for a moment each time it passed a certain point. His clearughter reverberated beside the ear of every single person within the auction grounds.


    Mo Tian Xing’s words also stirred augh from some of the factions in the VIP seats. The ck Emperor Sect was an old faction in the ‘ck-Corner Region’ that had not fallen after so many years. It also possessed a widework of friends. Mo Tian Xing himself had also befriended people from all over the ce. Quite a number of experts present had a deep or shallow friendship with him.


    Mo Tian Xing alsoughed when he heard thisughter. His eyes immediately shifted, taking one nce around the ce before stopping at a spot within the VIP area. It was coincidentally the seats of Xiao Yan’s three man group. His gaze focused on Xiao Yan.


    Sensing Mo Tian Xing’s gaze, the eyes under Xiao Yan’s ck robe were lifted. They looked at one another and the former immediately gave him a warm friendly smile.


    “Ha ha, I think that everyone has great expectations for this auction. Therefore, the old me shall not say any more words that will cause resentment.” Mo Tian Xingughed faintly under the focus of the a countless number of gazes. “However, the old me shall give everyone a reminder. I think that everyone here knows the rules of the auction. If any blind person wishes to act wildly in the territory of my ck Emperor Sect, the old me shall give that person some hard words of warning in front of the many people here. I will let you suffer a fate where you can neither beg to live nor die!”


    The enormous auction becamepletely silent after Mo Tian Xing’s words that hid a dense cold meaning. Even the faces of some fierce and ruthless people changed as they looked at Mo Tian Xing’s merciless eyes. They immediately began to quietly withdraw some of their irregr thoughts.


    “He is indeed worthy of being an elite Dou Zong. This demeanor...” Xiao Yan could not resist shaking his head as he sensed the sternness within Mo Tian Xing’s words. Able to rely on just his might to deter the experts who hade from all over this ‘ck-Corner Region’. An elite Dou Zong was actually this powerful.


    “Ha ha, next, we will invite everyone to enjoy the grand auction of my ck Emperor Sect.” Mo Tian Xing spoke with a smile after seeing that the deterrent effect had been achieved. The sternness in his eyes hadpletely vanished in an instant.


    He once again cupped his hands toward a couple of spots in the VIP seats after his words sounded. After which, he slowly withdrew from the auction stage.


    The ground of the auction stage parted once again after Mo Tian Xing withdrew. A couple of paths surfaced and a white-haired lively old man walked out with a smile. A group of pretty female servants carried silver tes made their way onto the the stage like butterflies behind him. After which, they would respectfully ce the silver te on the prepared auction tables.


    Looking down from above, everyone could see that there were some silver tes that radiated with a faint light.


    “He he, next, will be our auction appetizer. A scroll containing a finger Dou Technique.” The white-haired old man smiled as he pointed at a silver te in front of him. There was a snow-white scroll ced on it.


    “Sky Feather Finger, Xuan ss Middle level. A finger Dou Technique is usually quite rare. Although it is somewhat difficult to practice, it is able to gain the element of surprise when fighting with other people. Everyone seated here is not ordinary. I think that you should all be aware of how difficult it is to deal with a finger Dou Technique.” The white-haired old man picked up the scroll and softlyughed, “ording to the true price of the Sky Feather Finger, the starting bid must be above three hundred thousand. Since it is the first item, the sect leader has said that the starting bid can be set at only one hundred thousand. Moreover, the cap is eight hundred thousand. The first person to offer this price will obtain this Sky Feather Finger regardless of whether anyone behind offers a higher price. Everyone, you must not miss out on this opportunity.”


    This white-haired old man had clearly been auctioning for a long time. He seemed to be unusually experienced at doing so. He merely applied a simple sales tactic, and had instantly stirred the atmosphere within the auction ground. One hundred thousand gold coins was nothing for most of the people seated in this ce. Moreover, this Sky Feather Finger was indeed as the former had said. Its true price far exceeded this one hundred thousand. Hence, bids were immediately being shouted one after another within this enormous auction ground after the old man’s words sounded.


    Hearing the waves of bidding voices around him, even Xiao Yan could not help but look at this white-haired old man in a new light. It was unexpected that this ck Emperor Sect was really filled with talent.


    Xiao Yan had nned to search for a Dou Technique that he was satisfied with in this auction. Although he had some interest in a so-called finger Dou Technique, he did not have the intention of auctioning for this Sky Feather Finger. This Dou Technique’s level was a little low and did not possess much of an attraction to him. With Xiao Yan’s current eyesight, any Dou Technique other than those of the Di ss would have difficulty making him feel interested. After all, the current him was no longer that tender, young novice from back then who would be extremely happy when Yao Lao would randomly toss him a Dou Technique.


    Xiao Yan’s body gently leaned against the soft backrest of the chair, and his eyes were slightly narrowed. He knew that the auction had just begun. The truly good things were still toe. The early items would not garner the slightest attraction for most of the people in the VIP seats. Not a single person in the VIP seats had opened their mouths to call out a bid for this so-called Sky Feather Finger.


    Xiao Yan’s finger gently tapped on the armrest. He could not help but shake his head as he heard the rising price within the auction ground. The original one hundred thousand price had already soared to five hundred and seventy thousand by the simple tactic of the old man. Moreover, from the looks of it, it seemed that there was no sign of it slowing.


    Xiao Yan appeared to be watching a show. This bidding continued for around fifteen minutes before it gradually came to a stop. At this moment, that one hundred thousand price tag had already been raised to the ceiling price, which was eight hundred thousand.


    The white-haired old man smiled as he listened to the gradual cessation of the bids. Eight hundred thousand. This had already exceeded the worth of this Dou Technique. If it was a usual auction, it was likely that it would have difficulty reaching this price. However, an unexpected bumper was obtained because of that extremely low one hundred thousand starting bid.


    The silver hammer in the old man’s hand gently knocked three times on the auction tform. After which, that Xuan ss Middle level Sky Feather Finger was smoothly auctioned off.


    The atmosphere within the auction ground was stirred after this good opener. Taking advantage of this fiery heat, the white-haired auctioneer continued to bring forward other objects to be auctioned. By relying on the good quality of these auctioned items and the provocative ttering of the white-haired old man, these items were all sold for rtively good prices. It seemed that the ck Emperor Sect would indeed earn until their coffers overflowed because of this auction.


    However, it must be said that it was not by fluke that the auction that the ck Emperor Sect had held this time around had attracted so many people. From the looks of the quality of these auctioned objects, they could be considered the rarest ones that Xiao Yan had seen. Of course, this kind of rarity was judged based on the eyes of most people. The things that would cause experts of Xiao Yan’s level to be interested in had yet to appear.


    With the flow of time, the auction gradually began to approach an hour under a fiery hot atmosphere. The atmosphere within the auction grounds apanied the increasing quality of the auctioned items.


    By the time this kind of fiery heat was maintained for two hours, some of the auctioned items that had appeared were able to cause some experts in the VIP seats to offer apeting bid. Some of the items even gave Xiao Yan the impulse to cry out a bid. However, after weighing his thoughts a little, he continued to remain silent. It was best to choose something suitable when purchasing items.


    With the presence of the heavyweights from the VIP seatspeting with each other in the bidding, the atmosphere within the auction ground became even hotter. The factions that came to participate in this auction came from all over the ‘ck-Corner Region.’ Therefore, most of the people here did not see eye to eye. When some of the factions with enmity collided, they would definitely go all out to increase the bid. The momentum of attempting to crush the other party caused quite a number of people watching to feel stunned. They were indeed the renowned factions from the ‘ck-Corner Region’. This great wealth and gruff attitude was far from what an ordinary person couldpare with.


    Xiao Yan involuntarily felt the urge to smile from his dumbfoundedness in the face of these people who hadpeted until their eyes and necks turned red. His bodyzily leaned against the backrest and the teacup in his hand gently swayed. The tea within it formed numerous ripples.


    Through Xiao Yan’s observing eyes, the white-haired old man on the auction stage auctioned off a sharp weapon in his hand that had a rank 5 Monster Core inserted into it. After which, he received a silver te from a female servant’s hands by the side with a mysterious look on his face. There was a bright-red fire-like scroll on the silver te.


    “Ha ha, everyone, this Dou Technique is quite rare. This is because it is a ruler technique Dou Technique. Although it is somewhat unorthodox, its ss is quite high, having already reached the Di ss Middle level. Moreover, it is rumored that this was left behind by a Dou Zun ancestor who had dominated the continent a couple centuries ago. Its value is quite extraordinary.”


    Hearing the white-haired old man mention a ruler technique Dou Technique, Xiao Yan, who was leaningzily against the backrest of his chair suddenly felt his heart move. His interested gaze was thrown toward the auction stage for the first time.
