Chapter 1206

Han Li's eyes lit up when he saw the huge black claw, and he sat up straight.

Weeping Soul stared at the huge black claw, and her eyes shone brightly. Her delicate body also tensed up.

This Nether Ghostclaw was one of the two immortal artifacts that Weeping Soul wanted.

The others in the venue also exclaimed in admiration and discussed incessantly.

At this moment, the fat old man made a hand seal and pointed, and a spell flashed into the huge black claw. The surface of the immortal artifact was shrouded in black light, and dense black runes flew out. Immediately, a powerful cold wind erupted with the treasure as the center.

Although there were restrictions around the auction stage, a bone-piercing cold power instantly swept through the venue, causing some people with slightly lower cultivation to tremble.

As the old man muttered an incantation, the huge black claw suddenly grew to the size of a house, and it grabbed a huge black stone that was several hundred feet tall and emitted a strong metallic luster.

According to the Sun Moon Pavilion's convention, any offensive immortal artifact that was auctioned had to be tested so that the guests could more clearly feel the power of the immortal artifact. The huge black stone was used for this purpose. It was refined using a special method and was known for its sturdiness.

Previously, several immortal artifacts had been tested on the huge black stone. At this moment, the huge black stone was full of bumps and hollows, but overall, it could be considered intact.

"Puchi!" A soft sound rang out, as if a red-hot knife had been cut into butter!

The huge black stone was easily broken into more than a dozen pieces, and the cuts showed signs of corrosion and melting, emitting bursts of green smoke.

The audience below the stage gasped.

Weeping Soul's eyes shone brightly, and she was almost beaming with joy.

Han Li frowned. The offensive power of this Nether Ghostclaw was so strong that it could be said to be the most powerful immortal artifact since the beginning of the auction.

Based on the prices of the previous immortal artifacts, the price of this Nether Ghostclaw was probably sky-high.

He only had 50 million immortal essence stones on him, so it wouldn't be a problem to win this treasure, but it would be difficult to deal with the following auctions.

"This old man doesn't cultivate the Laws of Yin and Ghosts, so I can only display less than ten percent of this treasure's power. If this Nether Ghostclaw is complemented with the corresponding Laws, its power will be unimaginable.

Alright, I won't say any more words of praise. Everyone, please start the bidding. The starting price is 8,000,000 Immortal Meta Stones and each increment must be no less than 500,000. "The fat old man announced the start of the bidding.

"8.6 million!"

"9.2 million!"

"Ten million!"

…

Perhaps it was because the effect of the Nether Ghostclaw was too good, even though there weren't many people who cultivated the Nether Ghost Law, there were still a lot of people bidding. Before Han Li could even bid, the price had already been raised to 10 million Immortal Meta Stones.

He didn't join in immediately. The competition was so fierce now, it didn't matter if he joined or not.

Since they were determined to obtain this treasure, it would be the same to fight for it at the end.

The Weeping Soul Beast glanced at Han Li with a hesitant expression.

After a short moment, when the price was raised to 15,000,000 Immortal Essence Stones, there were already very few people bidding for it.

"16 million!"

Han Li pointed at a blue jade token on the table in the room. After a layer of blue spirit light appeared on it, he quoted a price.

"16.5 million!" An old voice came from a VIP box not far from Han Li.

Han Li turned his head and looked over. A layer of purplish black light appeared in his eyes.

Although the other party's VIP box had a high-level restriction, it couldn't block his Ninth Secret Devil Eyes.

Previously, Han Li had almost opened up all the profound acupoints in his body in the Asura Blood Gate. Some of the profound acupoints in his eyes had also been integrated. In addition, he had cultivated the Heavenly Fiend Hell Suppression Art in one fell swoop. Under the connection of the devil qi, his Ninth Secret Devil Eyes had also greatly improved.

After the initial stage of the Ninth Secret Devil Eyes, the pupil would emit a purple light. The deeper the cultivation, the stronger the purple light.

However, when this eye technique was cultivated to a high level, the purple light would gradually fade and turn black. When the pupil's color turned pure black, it would be the completion of the devil art and the insight of the Ninth Secret Devil Eyes.

At this moment, Han Li's Ninth Secret Devil Eyes was not far from this level.

A grey-robed old man sat in the VIP box opposite him. His entire body was surging with Yin Qi. He was an early-stage Grand Luo cultivator. He held a white scepter in his hand that seemed to be made of human bones.

The grey-robed old man didn't notice the probing of the Ninth Secret Devil Eyes. At this moment, there was a slightly nervous expression on his face. It seemed like this price was his limit.

"Master, that person's soul fluctuation shows a sense of anxiousness and nervousness. It seems like he doesn't have any more Immortal Essence Stones." The Weeping Soul's eyes were closed. A layer of black light appeared on its body and pulsed lightly.

Han Li glanced at the Weeping Soul in surprise and bid again.

"18 million!" He added 1.5 million Immortal Essence Stones in one go.

The grey-robed old man's face twitched. He let out a long sigh and put down his hands. Clearly, he had given up on competing.

The other people in the venue didn't bid as well.

Although the Nether Ghostclaw was good, it was worth it at this price.

Han Li smiled when he saw this, and a brilliant smile appeared on the Weeping Soul's face as well.

The fat old man was very satisfied when he saw the Nether Ghostclaw being sold for such a high price, and he was about to make the final bid.

"19 million!"

However, an icy cold voice resounded at this moment. It came from another VIP box in the distance.

The Weeping Soul's face sank, and it gritted its teeth.

Han Li frowned as well. He looked at the VIP box, and the violet light in his eyes flowed. It instantly penetrated the walls of the VIP box and saw the situation inside.

There were six figures sitting in the private room. All of them were dressed in black robes and had hoods on their heads that covered their faces.

The black robes flowed with a black light that seemed like water, and it actually blocked Han Li's Ninth Secret Devil Eyes. It was unknown what treasure it was.

The six of them sat silently, and they didn't know which one was the one who made the bid.

"Hmm …" Among the six people, a slightly petite black figure raised her head slightly. She seemed to have sensed Han Li's probing gaze, and she waved a hand through the air.

A thick layer of red mist immediately surged out of the VIP box, completely blocking Han Li's Ninth Secret Devil Eyes.

"20 million!" Han Li's expression also darkened, but he quickly regained his composure.

At the same time, he signaled the Weeping Soul Envoy with his eyes.

The Weeping Soul Envoy understood, and it closed its eyes again. A layer of black light appeared over its body as it probed the spiritual fluctuations of the person before it.

However, it quickly opened its eyes and said in a dejected voice, "I can't. The person who made the bid also cultivates in spiritual laws and is proficient in concealment. I can't detect his spiritual fluctuations."

Han Li's heart sank upon hearing this.

"22 million!"

The cold voice seemed to be getting impatient, and it suddenly raised the price by 2 million in an attempt to force Han Li out of the bidding war.

The Weeping Soul Envoy hesitated for a moment before poking Han Li with a finger. "Master, it's too expensive. How about we forget about it?"

However, everyone could hear the hesitation in its voice.

"25 million!" Han Li gave the Weeping Soul Envoy a reassuring look before raising the price again.

A commotion broke out in the auction hall as everyone turned to look at Han Li's box.

Han Li had already set up a light barrier restriction in the box to obstruct the line of sight of the people around him.

"27 million!" The cold voice paused momentarily before raising the price again.

"30 million!"

Han Li's face was expressionless as he suddenly made a bid that everyone present found hard to believe.

In reality, he was also feeling the pinch in his heart. 30 million immortal essence stones for this Nether Ghostclaw was a little too much. However, he had already promised the Weeping Soul Envoy that he would obtain these two immortal tools no matter what.

Moreover, this Nether Ghostclaw was indeed a rare and good immortal tool, and it was very compatible with the Weeping Soul Envoy's law attribute.

A tall and thin figure in the other party's box suddenly raised his head, revealing a pair of cold vulture-like eyes as he looked at Han Li's box.

A cold light flickered in the man's eyes, and after a moment, he snorted and stopped bidding.

On the auction stage, the chubby old man asked for the price three times before announcing the ownership of the Nether Ghostclaw.

Han Li let out a sigh of relief inwardly, but then he looked at the remaining 20 million immortal essence stones in his possession and frowned.

The other immortal tool that the Weeping Soul Envoy wanted was not inferior to the Nether Ghostclaw, so its price would most likely not be low. Moreover, it also had something that the Child of Essence Flame wanted, so this amount of immortal essence stones was probably not enough.

His eyebrows twitched, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

Soon after, the auction hall sent someone to deliver the Nether Ghostclaw. The person who came was none other than Lan Mei.

After Han Li paid the immortal essence stones, the Weeping Soul Envoy happily waved its hand and shot out a black light that wrapped around the Nether Ghostclaw and absorbed it into its body.

"Lan Mei, do you buy treasures here?" Han Li ignored the Weeping Soul Envoy and asked Lan Mei.

"Of course we do. May I know what Senior wants to sell?" Lan Mei's eyes lit up with joy as she answered immediately.

Han Li waved his hand, and a dozen blue crystals the size of a human head appeared beside him. Each of them flickered with a frightening lightning light.

An incomparably strong Law of Lightning erupted from these blue crystals, and Lan Mei's body immediately trembled and her face turned deathly pale.

When Han Li saw this, he waved his hand and shot out a golden lightning light that covered the crystals, concealing most of the Law of Lightning.

Lan Mei steadied herself and heaved a sigh of relief. She thanked Han Li.

"These are Thunder Shocking Stones!" She looked at the blue crystals carefully, and a shocked expression appeared on her face. She hurriedly took two steps closer to take a closer look.

"Miss Lan Mei, you have a good eye. That's right, these are Thunder Shocking Stones. May I know your price?" Han Li asked calmly.

The Thunder Shocking Stone was an extremely high-grade material among the Law of Lightning. Although it couldn't be compared to the Earth Emperor Crystal or the Heavenly Gold Diamond, it wasn't far from it.

He had found these Thunder Shocking Stones by chance when he was collecting the lightning essence in the central region of the Pentagram Lightning Territory. He had used it to refine the Green Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords, so they were extremely valuable.

"These Thunder Shocking Stones are of extremely high quality, and each of them is probably worth more than a million Immortal Meta Stones. I can't make the decision for such a huge transaction. Senior, please wait for a moment. I'll go and invite the Deacon Elder over." Lan Mei excused herself and hurriedly walked out.

Han Li wasn't in a hurry, and he continued to look at the plaza below.

The auction had started again, but it wasn't the item he was looking for.

He took two glances at it, then shifted his gaze towards the box that he had just seen.

The six people in the box were all dressed in black, and they looked very sneaky.

If they were just Rogue Cultivators, they wouldn't need to be so secretive. Could they be from the Jiuyuan Temple, Baizhuang Mountain, or the Golden Origin Immortal Palace?

What are they doing in Gold Gilt City?

A thought suddenly popped into Han Li's mind. Could it be that those people were here because of him?

He frowned as he thought of this.
