That day, several more portals were opened. Powerful warriors came out but they all disappeared as soon as they came out.
They must have manors in the city. As soon as they arrived, they dashed into their manors without letting others know.
Lu Li felt troubled. The more major forces came, the more pressure he would have to bid. If they were all here for the elixir, then the Divine Origin Gold he had would not be enough.
Lu Li had some other treasures. If he sold the immortal's body, he could get tens of millions of Divine Origin Gold.
That was the body of Emperor Zi. But could he sell it?
The sacred mountain belonged to Emperor Mu, the famous nine mysterious mountains. Lu Li had six of them and they could be sold at a high price as well.
But how could Lu Li sell such treasures?
It was getting brighter. When the sun was high up in the sky, the auction house was bustling. The auction would be held in the largest one, a palace in the city.
Lu Li put on the skin mask and walked toward the auction house in the guise of an average young man.
He was stopped at the door.
The standard of this auction was high. Without one million Divine Origin Gold as collateral, one couldn't even get in.
Lu Li didn't use the Divine Origin Gold as collateral. He took out the VIP token given by Chief Steward Lu. The guards let Lu Li in at once.
Guided by a maid, Lu Li went into the inner hall.
The auction houses were similar. On the first floor, there were many seats around a stage. On the second floor, there were private rooms.
Only the big shots and VIPs could sit in the private rooms. With the VIP token, Lu Li was taken to the second floor and sat in a small private room.
"Okay!"
In the private room, Lu Li noticed some runes. They must be to prevent others from spying on him.
This was better. He didn't have to worry about his identity being exposed or people trying to kill him.
There were fruits and fine wines in the private room. Lu Li took a sip and felt comfortable. None of the wines here were average.
Lu Li sat down and waited quietly, looking down at the people below.
There were more than a thousand seats. People kept coming in and taking their seats. It was quite noisy.
The people below looked up and discussed animatedly, guessing who was sitting in the private room.
Lu Li was up there so he could hear everything. He listened carefully and got some information.
It was said that many major forces and disciples of some reclusive families were here. It was said that some valuable treasures were going to show up at this auction.
"Have you heard?
The treasure being auctioned this time is a drop of blood! "
"A drop of blood?
What blood? "
"I'm not too sure about the specifics, but I think it's the blood of an Ancient Immortal Beast. A single drop of its blood can allow a person to be reborn, strengthening their physical body by a hundred times!"
"Ancient Immortal Beasts, do they really exist?"
"I don't know. In any case, it's said that the finale this time is a drop of Ancient Immortal Beast's blood. That's why so many big powers are alarmed!"
Lu Li was shocked to hear this. One drop of blood could transform a person and make him 100 times stronger?
If there really was such a treasure, it would be a peerless spiritual medicine for him to cultivate his peerless physical body.
"Sigh …"
Soon, Lu Li shook his head. Even if it was true, he would only look at it. Such a treasure would be sold at a sky-high price.
Even if he had several times the amount of Divine Origin Gold he had, it might not be enough, let alone this bit of Divine Origin Gold.
Half an hour later, everyone who was supposed to come in had come in, and the auction had begun.
This time, there were no beauties on the stage. Instead, it was an old man who had a strong qi and energy. He should be a Three Tribulation Heaven God. It was evident that the Palace of Heavenly Music attached great importance to this auction.
The old man bowed slightly, nodded to several private rooms, and the auction began.
The first item surprised Lu Li. It was his Relic Bow.
After the introduction of the bow, the bidding started. The starting price was 500,000 Divine Origin Gold.
Nobody in the private room above the bow made a move. The price was over one million Divine Origin Gold. In the end, it was sold for 1.6 million Divine Origin Gold.
Lu Li didn't feel uncomfortable at all. He had to pay 20% of the profit to the Palace of Heavenly Music. That was to say, if he put it up for auction, he would get more than 1.2 million Divine Origin Gold. It was not a big difference.
If he didn't sell to the Palace of Heavenly Music, there would be no Divine Origin Gold to be auctioned.
The auction went on. Every elixir, material, weapon and skill was sold for at least hundreds of thousands of Divine Origin Gold. None of the items up for auction this time were of low quality.
Lu Li's horizons were broadened. He saw many treasures.
More than 20 items were up for auction. Nobody in the more than 20 private rooms made a move. Lu Li didn't make a single bid, either.
Clearly, the people in the private rooms were not interested in the treasures. They were all here for the finale.
Two hours later, the first piece of treasure came out. It was a Enchanted Artifact, a Tripod Tripod with Four Ears.
The Tripod Tripod Tripod was emitting an ancient and majestic air. There were countless divine patterns on it. One look and anyone could tell that it was not an ordinary item.
"High-rank Artifact!
Tripod of Samsara. The starting price is one million Divine Origin Gold. Each increment is 200,000 Divine Origin Gold. Let's go! "
With the old man's shout, for the first time, someone in the private room above made a bid. It was a lady. She made a bid of two million Divine Origin Gold.
People started to murmur. Lu Li listened and was sure that the lady was the young lady from the Alliance of Immortals.
"Three million!"
Another young voice came from the private room. It was a man's voice. Nobody else dared to make a bid. Someone from a super force or a hidden family had made a move. They were no longer qualified to bid.
"Three and a half million!"
The young lady from the Alliance of Immortals continued to make a bid. She had just finished when an old man in another private room made another bid. He also increased the bid by 500,000 Divine Origin Gold.
The price kept rising. Soon, it reached six million Divine Origin Gold.
Lu Li gasped. Those major families were so rich. He had killed so many people and looted three groups of roving bandits only to accumulate seven or eight hundred Divine Origin Gold bars. Yet, those families could easily throw away tens of millions of Divine Origin Gold bars.
The young lady from the Alliance of Immortals made another two bids. When the price reached eight million, she stopped. She probably didn't have that much Divine Origin Gold.
At this moment, the young man who made the second bid said, "Ten million Divine Origin Gold. If you can win this tripod, please help me to give it to Young Lady Qiong."
"Wow!"
As the young man's voice fell, the crowd burst into an uproar. A treasure worth ten million Divine Origin Gold was actually given away just for a smile from the young lady from the Heaven Fighting Immortal Alliance?
"This is crazy …"
Many people were dumbfounded. Lu Li was speechless for a long time. This was a true descendant of a prestigious family.
He gave away ten million Divine Origin Gold just to pursue a girl. He didn't even know if the other party would appreciate it …
Nobody made another bid. In the end, this tripod was won by the young master. However, Young Lady Qiong from the Alliance of Immortals said, "Thank you, Young Master Qin. I like this tripod very much. I didn't bring enough Divine Origin Gold this time. I will send someone to give you ten million Divine Origin Gold later."
"Ha, ha!"
Young Master Qin didn't say anything. He just smiled and said, "As long as Young Lady Qiong likes it. The rest is not important."
"Young Master Qin?
Is he a descendant of the Qin Family of the Stormy Sea Region? "
"That's right. There are few big families with the surname Qin. The biggest one is the Qin Family of the Stormy Sea Region.
It is said that a genius has been born recently. He broke through to the Third Tribulation Realm at the age of 50. He also cultivated ancient secret skills. His combat strength is overwhelming. "
The discussion below caught Lu Li's attention. Since Young Master Qin came from the Stormy Sea Region, Lu Li happened to be there. Naturally, he paid more attention.
"Eh?"
After listening carefully for a while, Lu Li received another piece of information. The Alliance of Immortals was also in the Stormy Sea Region.
