Two days passed in a hurry. On the first day of July, the Guang 'an Auction House of Eastcalm Prefecture finally opened its doors to the public.
The auction would be held at two in the afternoon. Before that, one could freely choose the time to enter. If one entered in the morning, the auction house would also provide a sumptuous lunch, snacks, and tea for customers. It could be said that the service was quite considerate.
In Room 14, Qin Jue looked at Qinchuan, who was drooling at the table full of delicacies, and asked, "You came so early just to eat?"
"That's right," Qinchuan grinned and said, "It's a free lunch, and it's so sumptuous. Why wouldn't I eat it?"
Hearing Qinchuan's words, Qin Jue didn't know how to respond. Ever since he was young, he had never eaten such a free lunch.
Seeing that Qinchuan had already started to eat, Qin Jue also tried to take a bite. The taste was indeed not bad, and it was not much worse than the cooking of the hotel chefs outside.
"You've lived in a good environment since you were young and don't understand the suffering of the world. You don't have any concept of free lunch. I'm different. Since I was young, as long as I can eat in a free place, I've basically eaten it, hehe," Qinchuan chuckled and said, "Today is the best I've ever eaten."
Qin Jue looked at Qinchuan with a pained expression and said, "You must have suffered a lot all these years."
"Only by enduring hardships can one rise above others."
Qinchuan smiled and said, "I don't think my past life was that embarrassing. Instead, I feel that it will be a treasure in my life because I've learned too much from it."
Seeing Qinchuan's calm expression, Qin Jue couldn't help but feel a little sad. Qinchuan really didn't have it easy.
The two of them didn't talk about this topic anymore. Instead, they lowered their heads and ate. After eating and drinking his fill, Qinchuan lay down on the automatic massage chair at the side and prepared to take a comfortable afternoon nap.
Qin Jue, on the other hand, closed his eyes and quietly waited for the auction to begin.
…
Dong.
The melodious sound of a bell rang out, as if it was the purest sound in the world, washing away all the dust and impurities, causing people's hearts to calm down at this moment.
The incessant sound of the bell reverberated throughout the auction hall. After a full five minutes, a gentle voice rang out in the hall.
"Dear guests, the auction is about to begin. Please get ready."
Hearing the voice's reminder, many people came back to their senses. The drowsiness on their faces disappeared, and everyone became full of energy and vigor.
"This Guang 'an Bell is really good stuff."
Qinchuan, who had just woken up, looked at the crystal screen in front of him. Looking at the Guang 'an Bell on the auction platform, he sighed and said, "It's simply a divine tool to refresh the mind."
Hearing this, Qin Jue said indifferently, "The Guang 'an Bell is the foundation of the Guang' an Association. No matter who comes forward, they will not be able to take away a single Guang 'an Bell, even if it's a replica."
"The Guang 'an Association is quite principled."
Qinchuan smiled and said, "Originally, I wanted to use your Tenth Army's banner to buy one from the Guang 'an Association. Now, it seems that there's no need."
Just as Qinchuan and Qin Jue were chatting casually, a beautiful figure in a black dress slowly walked up to the auction stage in the center and said to the tens of thousands of customers, "Everyone, I am Hei Ling, the auctioneer of this auction. I will introduce the next 163 items to everyone. If you have any questions, feel free to ask."
"Now, let's bring up the first item."
The auction of the Guang 'an Association had always been straightforward and never spoke much nonsense. Hei Ling had only said a few words when the auction officially began.
"This first item comes from the ruins of the universe. It's a fragment of a top-grade magic treasure."
Hei Ling lifted the red silk that covered the ranking and presented a simple and old jade pendant on the plate in front of everyone. She looked at the jade pendant and introduced it to everyone, "After being appraised by the masters of our Guang 'an Association, this jade pendant has the effect of concentrating the mind and calming the heart. If you wear it, it will be of great help when breaking through the realm. It can reduce the probability of inner demons appearing. However, because it's a defective product, the effect of this jade pendant is gradually fading. In another three years, it will completely lose its effect."
"Friends who are interested in this jade pendant can now bid. The starting price is 1,000 Spiritual Value Points. Each bid must be at least 100 Spiritual Value Points."
As Hei Ling's voice fell, someone immediately bid 1,000 Spiritual Value Points. However, soon, another person bid. In the blink of an eye, the price of this jade pendant had exceeded 10,000 Spiritual Value Points and reached 12,000 Spiritual Value Points!
Seeing this scene, Qinchuan was not surprised. Although this jade pendant would lose its effect in another three years, it was an extremely rare treasure for those cultivators who had been stuck at the bottleneck for a long time. It could be said that they were determined to get it. Compared to breaking through the realm, tens of thousands of Spiritual Value Points were nothing.
Soon, this jade pendant was bought by a customer at the price of 26,000 Spiritual Value Points.
"Congratulations to this friend for obtaining the Tranquil Jade Pendant. Next, let us begin the auction of the second item."
As she spoke, Hei Ling had already lifted the red silk on the second item, revealing the item on the plate. It was a bottle of water.
"This is our second item, Heavenly Pure Water!"
As Hei Ling's voice fell, the entire place was filled with exclamations. Who would have thought that such a rare treasure like Heavenly Pure Water would appear in the auction?
When cultivators cultivated, it was inevitable that there would be impurities accumulated in their bodies. Only when they broke through the realm could they expel a portion of the impurities from their bodies. However, even so, there would still be a portion of the impurities that could not be expelled. The longer these impurities settled in the body, the greater the impact it would have on the cultivator. Some cultivators cultivated day and night but their progress was extremely small because there were too many impurities in their bodies.
The effect of Heavenly Pure Water was to cleanse the body of impurities!
From this, it could be seen how important Heavenly Pure Water was.
Qinchuan looked at the Heavenly Pure Water placed on the plate and sighed, "Such a rare treasure like Heavenly Pure Water is actually placed as the second item in the auction. I really don't know what kind of rare treasure will appear in the future."
While preventing Qinchuan from sighing, Hei Ling smiled as she looked at the people who were breathing rapidly. She calmly said, "I don't think I need to introduce Heavenly Pure Water. The starting price is 100,000 Spiritual Value Points. Each bid must not be lower than 10,000 Spiritual Value Points!"
As Hei Ling's voice fell, the price of Heavenly Pure Water immediately rose to the sky. In just a few seconds, it had already risen to an astonishing price of 800,000 Spiritual Value Points!
