At the auction, Su Mei, Tie Wu, and Song Che all looked somewhat uneasy. After all, being watched by so many people, all with unfriendly expressions, even a Dou Huang would feel a little guilty…
"Ahem, um, Alliance Leader, perhaps you should… tone it down a bit…"
Su Mei tugged at Mo Tang's sleeve and whispered.
Mo Tang raised an eyebrow.
"Don't worry, there are so many good things at this auction. These are the only ones that interest me. Let them take the rest."
Next up was a mid-level Earth-rank ruler-based Dou Technique, the Six Harmonies Wandering Ruler. In the original story, it was Xiao Yan's signature Dou Technique, but unfortunately, it didn't suit Mo Tang's fighting style, so he had no desire to bid on it.
His actions made those around him a little uncomfortable. Before bidding, many people deliberately glanced at this annoying "troublemaker."
Mo Tang simply rolled his eyes, snorted, and said, "Just bid, why are you looking at me!"
Seeing that he was genuinely uninterested in Earth-rank combat techniques, the others were delighted, and many immediately began bidding in succession.
After this little interlude, Mo Tang rarely made a move.
When he did bid, it was for some rare medicinal herbs. Although the prices were high, the advantage was that there weren't many competitors. ♟✎ ➅❾𝔰н𝕌ˣ.ςόΜ 👻♪
Before long, after his pockets had dwindled by another ten million gold coins, he had accumulated quite a few high-grade spiritual herbs that were usually hard to find.
As the dazzling array of auction items was brought out one by one, even Mo Tang couldn't help but be amazed by the Black Emperor Sect's vast reserves.
"As expected of an old sect that has stood for a thousand years in the Black Corner Region, their foundation is far beyond what our Wind and Thunder Alliance can match."
Su Mei, standing beside him, nodded in agreement.
Although the Wind and Thunder Alliance's current influence even surpasses that of the Black Emperor Sect, the gap between the two is still very large when compared in a true comparison.
After a scroll of Earth-rank cultivation technique, Shadow Technique, directly pushed the auction to a new climax, the subsequent rankings once again piqued Mo Tang's interest.
"There's a stench of corpses..." Little Fairy Doctor suddenly wrinkled her nose and frowned.
At this moment, on the auction stage, there was a colossal object covered by a white cloth.
As Little Fairy Doctor finished speaking, the white-haired old man also ripped off the white cloth with a whoosh...
A gigantic corpse, at least ten zhang wide, suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes.
The monster's corpse was quite large, but it seemed to have been dead for a long time, its flesh and bones completely dried out.
However, the most striking feature was its pair of enormous, skeletal wings…
These wings were quite peculiar, resembling jade, emitting a faint glow. Anyone with discerning eyes could tell that these wings contained some kind of strange energy.
"To be able to retain some energy even after death for so long, this magical beast must have been of a very high level in life!" Song
Che said softly, a glint in his eyes.
Su Mei and the others beside him nodded in agreement.
"Hehe, distinguished guests, this magical beast's corpse was encountered by chance in a mountain stream by my Black Emperor Sect. After the sect leader's personal appraisal, this magical beast should be a peerless ferocious beast that is about to break through the seventh rank and advance to the eighth rank!" the white-haired elder said solemnly.
As soon as he finished speaking, a commotion broke out in the hall. A magical beast about to advance to the eighth rank?
Wouldn't that be equivalent to a Dou Zun powerhouse in human terms?
Magical beasts of this level usually possess extraordinary abilities and have extremely long lifespans. How could they die here?
However, none of this is the key point. The key point is the value of a peerless ferocious beast about to break through to the seventh rank and advance to the eighth rank.
Of course, the powerful figures present are not so easily fooled.
If this were a fresh demonic beast corpse, it would naturally be priceless. At that time, the Black Emperor Sect probably wouldn't be willing to openly display it like that.
But this desiccated corpse looks like it has been dead for who knows how many years. Who can be sure how much value it still has?
Mo Tang's gaze swept across the entire hall, and he saw that many forces had begun to whisper among themselves, obviously discussing whether to bid next.
However, it was clear that although there was a great deal of uncertainty about this demonic beast corpse, many people and forces were still very interested in it.
Among them, the people of Demon Flame Valley were the most obvious, because those old guys were discussing the most excitedly and enthusiastically.
On the auction stage, the white-haired old man smiled as he watched the whispering VIP seats. He was very pleased with the performance of these people, because these were the main force of their auction.
"Hehe, everyone, this mummified demonic beast has been perfectly preserved since our Black Emperor Sect obtained it, without suffering the slightest damage...
And I can assure you all that our Black Emperor Sect has absolutely not touched this mummified demonic beast!
In other words, we have no idea what's inside this demonic beast. Similarly, as for whether there's a super demonic core about to break through to the eighth rank inside, we also don't know..."
The white-haired elder continued with a smile.
His words did indeed stir up the nerves of many people below.
After all, an eighth-rank demonic core...
Even knowing that the hope was extremely slim, many people still wanted to take a gamble.
However, because the Black Emperor Sect required this auction to be conducted through barter, many people present could only sigh.
"Barter? The Black Emperor Sect is really messing around!" Mo Tang was also among those who were dissatisfied.
There was nothing he could do; he still had a large amount of gold coins left to spend!
However, if it was a barter, besides pill formulas and combat techniques, Mo Tang probably didn't have anything that would interest the other party.
Flipping through the scroll, Mo Tang pulled out an ancient, black scroll, his face lighting up with delight.
"A sixth-grade pill, the Imperial Extreme Pill, and its formula!"
The sudden bid instantly caused a stir in the entire auction hall.
The Imperial Extreme Pill, capable of directly boosting the strength of a Dou Huang expert, was quite renowned, let alone the fact that the other party had presented a formula!
Its value was ten times that of the pill itself!
After attracting everyone's attention, Mo Tang continued slowly, "However, this formula is only a copy. Because it's a copy, it can only be read once. After reading, the remaining soul power within will be completely dissipated."
These last words caused the expressions of shock on the faces of many alchemists present to subside considerably.
That's more like it…
If the other party had truly produced an original sixth-grade pill formula, they would probably have thought this guy had gone mad!
