At the same time, a new item was being auctioned on the stage. Due to its special location, there was no auctioneer in this auction house. Instead, the auctioneer would personally go up on stage to introduce the item. As for whether it would succeed or not, it all depended on the eloquence of the auctioneer and the value of the item itself.
The new item was a huge axe-shaped spirit tool. On the whole, it did not look much different from the axe in the outside world. However, for some reason, the moment this spirit tool appeared, it attracted the surrounding spiritual energy to gather towards it.
It was very obvious that this spirit tool had its own uniqueness, but Gu Xi was not interested.
Although there were not many people who used this sort of axe-shaped spirit tool, it was a genuine ancient spirit tool after all. Many people present began to bid one after another.
“1,500!” A person was the first to speak loudly.
The auctioneer on the stage shook his head slightly. Clearly, this was not the price he wanted.
“1,700!”
“2,000!”
“2,200!”
One bid after another rang out. The price of this axe was also getting higher and higher.
“2,200 spirit stones? Is it that cheap?”
Gu Xi, who was below the stage, frowned. He had a puzzled look on his face.
Although he did not know the true level of this spirit tool, it was still a genuine ancient spirit tool. Moreover, it looked like it had just appeared in the world. 2,200 spirit stones was indeed too low a price.
......
If it were in the outside world, the price would at least be more than ten times higher.
“The currency here is not spirit stones, but this.” The white-clothed woman pursed her lips into a smile and waved the jade pendant in her hand.
Gu Xi was stunned at first, but then came to a sudden realization.
The so-called bidding here was not spirit stones, but points in their hands!
“Many contestants may have limited strength, so they are unable to obtain many points. Hence, this trend has been in vogue since a few years ago. The contestants who are not strong enough will not choose to hunt demon beasts after entering this place, but choose to search for the ruins or Secret Realms here. They will bring the spirit treasures they obtained here to be auctioned in exchange for points ranking.”
The white-clothed woman seemed to have sensed the doubt in Gu Xi’s heart as she explained.
Gu Xi nodded his head in agreement. This was indeed a good idea.
If one was lucky enough to obtain a good spirit tool or medicinal pill, the number of points one could obtain here would also be an astonishing amount.
For example, if the Snowfall Fungus that Gu Xi had previously encountered were to be sold here, he would probably earn at least tens of thousands of points, or even more.
Tens of thousands of points would be enough to place anyone in the top 10.
Of course, Gu Xi would definitely not sell the Snowfall Fungus.
The bidding below the stage became more and more intense, and there were even sounds of arguments from time to time. However, because the auction house was guarded by the Daluo Sect, people did not dare to act rashly.
In the end, this axe-shaped spirit weapon of unknown grade was bought by someone at a price of 3,500 points. The auctioneer also left the auction house happily after the transaction.
Soon, the next auction item appeared seamlessly.
The auctioneer for this new item was a man. However, at this moment, he appeared to be somewhat dispirited, and his face was extremely pale. His clothes were stained with blood, and it was obvious that he had suffered serious injuries.
“This item was obtained from a special Secret Realm. Please take a look at it.”
The man’s voice was a little hoarse. He raised his hand and with a flip, a black item appeared in his hand.
Many gazes fell on the item, but no one recognized it.
“This item is an armor. Although it doesn’t look very elegant on the outside and I don’t know how strong its defense is, I believe that its rank is definitely not simple. The starting price is 3,000 points.”
The man introduced the item expressionlessly and then waited for the crowd below the stage to bid.
For a moment, the audience fell into silence.
Pfft–
Not long after, a sneer was heard.
What followed was the laughter of the crowd.
“Is that it? Only some armor? It looks more like a piece of charcoal, right?”
“That’s right. Who knew where this guy found such a piece of trash?”
“He has the nerve to start the bid at 3,000 points for this piece of trash. I’m dying of laughter…”
A series of derisive laughter rang out.
The man’s cold and gloomy expression also twitched, and a wave of anger surged up. He sternly berated, “What do you know?! In order to get this, none of my Senior and Junior Brothers of our Three Elements Sect who came to participate in this competition survived! This thing is definitely extraordinary!”
As soon as these words were said, the mocking laughter of the crowd paused for a moment, and then it became even more impudent.
“Just for this damn thing, you’ve wasted so many lives. Your Three Elements Sect really don’t know what’s good in the market!” Someone in the crowd shouted this.
The man’s face instantly darkened. A surge of violent spiritual power burst out from his body and rushed towards the person who spoke in a flash.
At that time, it was not easy for him to escape the Secret Realm under the cover of his fellow disciples. He absolutely could not tolerate someone insulting them like this!
Looking at the man who was rushing over, the person who spoke was somewhat stunned. Apparently, he did not expect this guy to actually dare to attack him in public.
“Don’t you dare! Stop!”
At the same time, two guards of the Daluo Sect appeared on both sides of the man. As the man was already injured, he was easily controlled.
“If you dare to say another word, I will definitely take your life out of here!”
The man looked at the person who spoke, his gaze was vicious and gloomy.
He did not intend to really make a move earlier. Moreover, he did not even touch a single hair of the person who spoke. Clearly, he did not want to be expelled from the competition.
“Do you think that I am afraid of you?”
Perhaps it was because it would be a little inappropriate if he were to cower in front of so many people, that person raised his head and replied, “Alright, just you wait.”
The man took a deep look at that person and nodded expressionlessly. After which, he turned around and returned to the stage.
“This fellow is really a ruthless person.”
Gu Xi smiled and said after seeing this scene.
Even Su Lian, who was standing at the side, nodded her head in agreement.
Gu Xi’s gaze moved slightly and his gaze once again landed on that jet-black armor.
The surface of this item was as black as charcoal, and some of the patterns on the armor could be vaguely seen. However, more importantly, Gu Xi did not feel the slightest spiritual energy fluctuation from the inside to the outside of this so-called spirit equipment.
To put it bluntly, this so-called armor did not look like a piece of spirit equipment at all!
