This is a Human Rank powerhouse!
Yitian couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. Just the aura of a Human Rank powerhouse had almost made his true qi surge uncontrollably.
In essence, a Human Rank powerhouse had already transcended the level of ordinary people. They could walk on air and live for up to two hundred years. Their strength was so formidable that even a Ninth Rank Warrior would be no match for them.
In the entire Jingmu County, Human Rank powerhouses stood at the pinnacle of this land.
"Ladies and gentlemen!"
At this moment, the auctioneer of the Black Dragon Auction finally appeared. He was an old man in his sixties with a loud and resonant voice that echoed throughout the Juyue Tower. Instantly, all the sounds in the Juyue Tower quickly disappeared.
"Welcome to the Black Dragon Auction held by the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion. This time, there are a total of 634 auction items, estimated to last for two hours. Now, the auction officially begins!"
Then, the staff of the auction house carried a tray up.
The auctioneer lifted the brocade veil, revealing a jade bottle, and then said excitedly, "Ladies and gentlemen, the first auction item is a bottle of low-grade medicinal pill, Luoxue Pill, containing nine pills. It is a true healing holy medicine. One Luoxue Pill can quickly heal a severely injured person and save their life. The starting bid is 500 lower-grade spirit stones!"
"550!"
Someone immediately bid.
"560!"
"570!"
Thus, after the first auction item was put up for bid, it immediately attracted the bidding of most guests, and the price quickly climbed.
In no time, the bottle of Luoxue Pills was bid up to 1,300 lower-grade spirit stones.
"The price of Luoxue Pills is too high!"
Yitian and his companions couldn't help but be amazed. One Luoxue Pill cost at least over a hundred lower-grade spirit stones, which was an exorbitant price, even if it could save a life of a severely injured person.
However, in this world of endless strife, death and injury were very common.
No one would be so extravagant as to use a Luoxue Pill worth over a hundred spirit stones to save a life. Perhaps only the children of major forces would have the qualifications to take it.
Even some independent high-ranking warriors would consider a pill that could save a life as their most important asset. They would not easily consume it unless in the most dangerous situation.
"1,500!"
At this moment, a private room on the second floor bid.
Instantly, the warriors on the first floor fell silent. The forces on the second floor had made a move, raising the bid by 200 spirit stones.
After the private room bid, no one else in the other private rooms bid, and it was thus won by that private room.
For the people in the other private rooms, although they also wanted to bid on the Luoxue Pills, it wasn't a must-have. They needed to save spirit stones to bid on items they were interested in during the subsequent auctions.
"1,500, first time, 1,500, second time, 1,500, third time, sold!"
The auctioneer confirmed the sale.
Next, the second and third auction items appeared one after another, attracting the bidding of many warriors.
However, although the subsequent auction items were not ordinary, their prices never exceeded 1,000 spirit stones, fluctuating between a few hundred spirit stones. One by one, the auction items were sold.
Yitian and his companions were truly broadening their horizons.
In addition, Yitian and his companions also heard a few familiar voices bidding frequently.
Yitian and his small team exchanged glances and immediately understood that these were the warriors arranged by the tribe bidding. They had bid quite a few times and won many good items.
"The next auction item is a storage treasure, consisting of three storage rings with a capacity of ten zhang and ten storage bags with a capacity of one zhang."
The auction of medicinal pills had already ended, and now it was the turn of the storage treasures.
Yitian and his companions immediately became extremely excited.
"Storage bag, one zhang capacity, starting bid 1,000 lower-grade spirit stones."
The auctioneer announced the auction, immediately attracting the bidding of many people. The price kept rising, and many people in the private rooms on the second and third floors bid.
"3,500!"
Yikuang made the final bid and won the first storage bag.
Soon, the staff brought the storage bag over, and Yikuang handed over 35 purple crystal gold tickets to the auction house staff, completing the transaction.
Each purple crystal gold ticket was worth 100 lower-grade spirit stones and could be exchanged for spirit stones at the Tianfeng Bank in every major city of the Tianfeng Empire. Yesterday, the cart of spirit stones that Yitian and his companions had was all exchanged into purple crystal gold tickets at the Tianfeng Bank.
The Tianfeng Bank was operated by the Tianfeng Empire and was widespread throughout the country, allowing the storage and exchange of spirit stones.
Therefore, many warriors stored their spirit stones in the Tianfeng Bank. However, for every 100 lower-grade spirit stones deposited, the Tianfeng Bank would charge one lower-grade spirit stone, with no time limit, as long as the Tianfeng Bank did not go bankrupt.
Many families and forces in the Tianfeng Empire also stored their spirit stones in the bank, ensuring that their resources would not be plundered by some powerful individuals.
Of course, these purple crystal gold tickets were divided into named and unnamed. Named tickets could not be transferred and could only be withdrawn by the owner or their descendants after the owner's death.
Even so, many forces did not deposit their spirit stones, as they were all deeply rooted and had formidable strength.
The purple crystal gold tickets that Yitian and his companions exchanged were unnamed and could be used and transferred as 100 lower-grade spirit stones.
Each of the six people, including Yitian, bid and won a storage bag, with the prices not differing much.
After obtaining the storage bags, Yitian and his companions began to experiment.
Yitian channeled his true qi into the storage bag in his hand. Soon, he controlled the entire storage bag with his true qi, gaining a general understanding of it, as if it were a part of his body.
Collect!
In an instant, Yitian stored his weapons, large bow, quiver, and other items inside.
Yifeng, Yishan, and the others were also curiously playing with their storage bags.
Yitian and his companions paid no attention to the hot gazes or malicious glances from around them.
Before coming to the auction, they had already done some disguises. Many of the warriors attending the auction were either in disguise or wearing cloaks and veils.
There were also many who did not hide at all, having great confidence in their strength or a powerful force behind them.
In the subsequent auction, Yifeng, Yishan, Yili, Yikuang, and Yihong immediately joined the bidding for items they were interested in, winning satisfactory spirit weapons.
Yitian also bid and won a Jinlin Sword.
The Jinlin Sword was a high-grade spirit weapon, a type of spirit tool with extremely strong true qi conductivity, reaching over 90%, and had astonishing killing power. Yitian bid 8,900 lower-grade spirit stones to win it.
The auction quickly progressed, with only a few dozen items left. Only the people in the private rooms on the second and third floors were bidding, and the competition was intense, with prices constantly rising. Each auction item was worth tens of thousands of lower-grade spirit stones, which was simply crazy.
Yitian and his companions couldn't help but marvel at the deep reserves of those families or forces, who could come up with tens of thousands of lower-grade spirit stones, truly underestimating their reserves.
Of course, Yitian didn't know that for those forces to come up with tens of thousands of spirit stones at once was also a significant blow, greatly damaging their strength. If it weren't for the once-a-decade auction, which was rare and hard to come by, they wouldn't be so crazy, bidding on everything they were interested in.
"The next auction item is an exquisite spirit bow, named the Dragon Roar Bow. It requires ten thousand pounds of strength to draw it and one hundred thousand pounds to draw it to a full moon. It comes with twenty Demon-Breaking Arrows, capable of breaking through the defenses of mid-level beasts. The starting bid is 15,000 lower-grade spirit stones!"
When the auctioneer introduced the fifth auction item, Yitian's eyes lit up.
It was actually an exquisite spirit bow!
Yitian's breathing quickened; he had to win it.
With this exquisite spirit bow, Yitian's strength would increase exponentially, allowing him to fully unleash his power.
