"One gold coin!"
Yao Chen nearly fainted from anger upon hearing this.
The thing I've lived in for so long is only worth one gold coin?
It's intentional!
This old man on the stage is definitely doing it on purpose!
With his strength, he must have sensed my presence both before and now!
Yao Chen was now 100% certain that this white-haired old man was that old fellow from the Pill Tower; otherwise, why would he be mocking and ridiculing me like this?
"I...I..."
The dignified Venerable Yao's face was now filled with bitterness, and he turned his head to "cry out":
"Teacher Yan'er, you must stand up for me!"
"..."
Everyone felt helpless upon hearing this.
For a Venerable to say such things and show such an expression, it was clear how broken and helpless he was.
"One gold coin is indeed a bit too little!"
Qi Yan'er stared at the ancient ring below, a faint smile on her face:
"Keep watching! Old Yao, if there's a chance, Uncle Ling Ying will definitely buy it back for you."
Ling Ying: (⊙o⊙)...?
"So it's time to use me again?
He goes from an old man to Uncle Ling Ying the moment he needs to spend money?
" "Yao Chen thanks you."
Before Ling Ying could even respond, Yao Chen was already overflowing with gratitude.
"Ahem~"
Ling Ying had never experienced being thanked by a Venerable before, so he coughed lightly and said,
"A ring that can house a soul of any strength, while useless to most people, is a rare treasure that no faction would complain about having too many of. Therefore, the price of this ring must be quite high."
"Old man, you don't need to tell me, you already know that."
Qi Yan'er rolled her eyes, then pointed downwards.
At this moment, the auction house was ignited by the first item. Even though the old man's introduction was rather bland, those who entered this place were certainly not simple people.
Hearing that a ring of this level had a starting price of only one gold coin, everyone began to bid enthusiastically.
"One gold coin? What is the Blood Seal Auction House thinking? A ring of this level has a starting price of only one gold coin!"
"That means the starting price for this ring should be at least 100,000!"
"100,000? Heh~ I bid 300,000!"
A series of bids echoed through the auction house, continuing for several minutes.
Finally, a thin man successfully bought it for 2.5 million gold coins!
Yao Chen: o(╥﹏╥)o
My house, gone just like that?
Seeing Yao Chen's dejected and gloomy appearance, Ling Ying said calmly:
"Senior Yao, it's not that I didn't bid, but this ring isn't worth 2 million at all. With your strength, you can easily find another place to live."
"Hmm."
Yao Chen nodded, but the gloom in his eyes didn't fade at all.
After all, it was a place he had lived in for so long; suddenly having to move, who could easily give it up?
There was only one person who caused this outcome, and that was…
Xiao Yan!
"Old man, damn it… (millions of words omitted)"
Yao Chen grew angrier the more he thought about it, and unable to vent his anger with mere cursing, he gritted his teeth and said,
"Where did that idiot Xiao Yan go?"
Seeing Yao Chen's anger, Xiao Xun'er said calmly,
"Senior Yao, with your perception, it wouldn't be difficult to sense Xiao Yan's aura, but you don't know his whereabouts. It's obvious that it's related to the senior below."
"Could it be that Xiao Yan really succeeded in becoming a disciple?"
Qing Lin asked in surprise.
"That's impossible."
Little Fairy Doctor chimed in from the side, smiling sweetly,
"With Xiao Yan's aptitude, even Senior Yao didn't take a liking to him, let alone the one below?"
Yao Chen: Σ(⊙▽⊙ "a?
What do you mean, even I didn't take a liking to him?
"Little Fairy Doctor is right."
Qi Yan'er tapped her little head, crossed her arms, and analyzed,
"With this senior's perception, he must have known of our existence long ago."
"That little brat Xiao Yan is not only mediocre in talent, but also rebellious by nature. He secretly went down to seek a master; who would accept him as a disciple? This Pill Tower patriarch isn't stupid or blind." "
..."
The white-haired old man currently conducting the auction trembled slightly.
Stupid~blind~me?
This little girl really dares to say that!
After the first auction proceeded smoothly, many dazzling treasures appeared on the auction stage.
Armor, fighting techniques, cultivation methods, medicinal herbs, and so on were all available.
At one point, a young beauty was even brought up—
she was young, looked about the same age as Qing Lin, and immediately aroused the desires of some men with particular tastes in the auction hall.
They all turned into wolves, their passion extremely high, and in the end, the price reached a high of 300,000!
Qi Yan'er and the others saw this but made no attempt to rescue her.
As mentioned before entering the Black Corner Region, goodwill is worthless in this chaotic place!
And this little girl is no ordinary person either!
Otherwise, how could an ordinary girl appear in such a high-class auction house?
Sitting on the soft chair, Qi Yan'er calmly observed the ugly behavior of the crowd below, her eyes slightly closed, waiting for something that would truly move her. In
the early stages of the auction, under the old man's role as the auctioneer, only the ring was the one that ignited the atmosphere.
And the bidders
were merely those seated in the back and middle.
Those powerful forces with vast wealth sitting in the front rows hadn't made a single move so far.
Not to mention those in the private rooms on the second floor!
"Ding!"
Another clear bell rang from the crystal platform, and the white-haired old man, with a smile on his face, took a small silver tray from a maid.
On the tray was a very simple and unadorned jade pendant.
This jade pendant not only lacked any luster, but it was also damaged, looking like a worthless trinket dropped on the street that no one would bother to pick up.
"What...is this?"
When the old man held the jade pendant in his palm, everyone was astonished and bewildered.
This thing, worthy of auction?
"Master, are you sure you're not mistaken? Does this jade pendant even need to be auctioned?"
A middle-aged man sitting in front asked doubtfully.
His words immediately drew a chorus of questions.
"Master, I trust your appraisal skills, but this thing doesn't look like a treasure at all!"
"Is there something special about this jade pendant? "
"Master, please tell us!"
"Hehehe~"
Hearing the confused voices below, the old man smiled faintly, then suddenly raised his gaze and looked towards a certain spot!
There, none other than where Qi Yan'er and the others were!
"Wow!"
At this moment, the dignified young lady of the ancient clan could no longer maintain her composure and elegance upon seeing the jade pendant; her small mouth opened, and she uttered a string of profanities!
Gu Xun'er's pretty face turned deathly pale. She exclaimed in disbelief,
"This...this jade pendant is...the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade!"
"What?"
Before Gu Xun'er could finish speaking, Yao Chen's body trembled violently. He exclaimed in horror,
"Auctioning...the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade?"
"Hehehe~"
Upon hearing their words, Qi Yan'er's large eyes flashed with a sharp light. She smiled and said,
"This old man is really crazy, kind of lovable!"
