Chapter 767: Five-Five-Five
This auction hall was truly massive and had a radius of three kilometers. It was split into three floors. The first floor was for the ordinary seats which contained 70,000 to 80,000 seats. The second floors were the small pavilions, and there were a few thousands of it. Each pavilion could seat about ten individuals. The topmost floor was a row of large pavilions, and there were only 100 of them. They seemed to be reserved for the 13 Clans and other influential figures.
Jiang Yi and others had led through a long alley and had arrived at the second floor’s no.555 small pavilion. Once they entered, the attendant explained, “Esteemed guests. This pavilion’s restriction is of first class, and not even peak-stage Heaven Monarchs would be able to check out your information. We will also strictly keep your information confidential.
“You can pour your essence force into the crystal ball to yell out during the auction. The voice transmitted out will be altered by the restriction, and no one will ever recognize your original voice! Of course, if you don’t wish to change your voice, you can simply shout out with essence force enhanced voice. Everything you auctioned must be paid with the agreed number of celestial stones. If you don’t pay up, you will be considered as making a dummy bid. Not only will your auctioned item be confiscated, but you will also forfeit your earnest money of 100 million celestial stones. These are the rules of the auction, and I request you to earnestly understand.”
Jiang Yi sat in the pavilion and noticed that the pavilion was completely sealed up. There were luminous pearls in the corner of the walls, making it very bright. There was a crystal ball inside where one could clearly see the entire auction hall, making it rather convenient. Qian Wanguan nodded and indicated for the envoy to serve some refreshments before they activated the restriction of the room.
“The restriction is truly powerful. My divine senses actually cannot extend out.”
Jiang Yi swept the place with his divine senses and lightly nodded. He released his Divine Perception subsequently and noticed that he still couldn’t scout outside. He sneered and entered the Union of Heaven and Man state, and this time, he could clearly sense the surroundings.
The Union of Heaven and Man state wasn’t using the divine senses to scout, and when he was in this state he could blend with every object in the surrounding vicinity, which naturally gave him the ability to scout the surroundings. Of course, he didn’t dare to scout around recklessly as there were too many influential figures in today’s auction.
The crystal ball was very mystical and could transfer all the images on the outside inside. Even the noise from the outside would be clearly transferred inside through the crystal ball. Everyone was very excited when looking at the crystal ball.
“Big Sister Bell should in the large pavilions up there, right? I wonder which pavilion she is in.”
Jiang Yi knitted his brows as the large pavilion up there, and the small pavilion was similar and couldn’t be scouted inside. He could only see numbers on the outside. No one knew which pavilion the Nangong Clan was in, and even if Jiang Yi knew… he wouldn’t dare to recklessly look for her.
“Huangfu Taotian is actually seated below?”
Jiang Yi scanned with his crystal ball and discovered below the auction stage, in the first row, was Huangfu Taotian’s green hair which was very prominent. Jiang Yi couldn’t help but feel puzzled. Putting aside Huangfu Taotian’s extraordinary status—even if he didn’t have any status, he had plenty of celestial stones and could simply arrange for a pavilion, right?
“Boss!”
Qian Wanguan also took a glance at Huangfu Taotian and asked curiously, “Huangfu Qi and the members of the Huangfu Clan all have black hair, right? Why does this Huangfu Taotian have green hair?”
“How would I know?”
Jiang Yi shook his head and said, “Perhaps, he cultivated some special art? Or perhaps his mother is of some special race.”
When discussing, countless individuals entered the hall, and nearly half of the 80,000 seats were filled up. There was a huge racket below as everyone was discussing what kind of treasure would they be able to buy? The Situ Clan had already declared that this auction would be the grandest of the past few decades. Many clans didn’t have much wealth but had all handed over the 5000 celestial stones to purely watch the show.
One hour later, the seats at the bottom were nearly fully occupied, and the auction had officially begun. An aged voice echoed. “Everyone, please be quiet. The auction is about to start. Would you please welcome our clan’s Young Lady Yinian up the stage to host this auction.”
“Uh…”
Everyone was startled while plenty of young masters’ eyes lit up as they desperately clapped their hands. Situ Yinian was the no.1 young lady of the Situ Clan, and she was actually the host for this auction? Even if they couldn’t afford to buy any treasures, it was already worthy enough to admire the Situ Clan’s no.1 young lady’s great figure for the whole auction.
Shh-shh-shh!
A young lady in a red dress walked up to the stage from the alley at the back. This young lady was only 16 years old but had this slender and perfect body. She was wearing a fiery red dress; her hair was tied up into a lingyun hairstyle [1. It is a type of ancient Chinese hairstyle with a single bun, but the hair circled around a headdress.], and it was decorated with jewels. Her sparkling and clean earlobes were suspended with two large red gems while her neck had a string of pink pearls. She was emitting radiance and was utterly gorgeous.
The most dazzling part on Situ Yinian was her pair of slender legs and her round buttocks. According to her age, she should still be a virgin; and it was impossible for her buttocks to be so round. For some reason, the shape of her buttocks was exceptionally good-looking, and when her buttocks shook as she walked, many men’s eyes nearly fell out.
Situ Yinian was young, but she had an extraordinary presence. When she walked to the center of the stage, she crossed her arms across her abdomen and made a respectful bow, and then she let out a faint smile before she spoke, “I am Situ Yinian, and I am fortunate enough to be the host for today’s auction. I am even more honored to be gathered in this hall with so many seniors and the heroes of Gods Bestow Tribe. This is my first time hosting an auction, and if I made any mistakes, I seek your forgiveness.”
Situ Yinian had a very pleasant voice as though pearls of various sizes dropping on a jade plate. It was gentle yet firm; it wasn’t fast or slow, like a nightingale singing by the side. When complemented with her dazzling smile, it had intoxicated plenty of young masters.
“Alright, now in the main topic. Let the auction officially begin!”
Situ Yinian was just 16 years old, but she didn’t have a hint of stage fright. With a wave of her hand, two women with revealing attires brought in a giant crescent moon halberd. It was dark gold in color and was emitting a simple, unadorned, and vast aura presence. It had a mysterious pattern on it, and even an idiot would know that this was a valuable treasure.
Ss, ss…
Many knowledgeable individuals took a deep cold breath. Jiang Yi, who was in the pavilion, also had his eyes contracted. This auction was truly very grand, and the first item was already a pseudo-divine artifact?
“I assume many of the Lords here should be able to see how extraordinary this crescent moon halberd is. That’s right, it is a pseudo-divine artifact!”
Situ Yinian gave a light smile while her beautiful eyes flickered before she spoke, “This crescent moon halberd is called the World-Extinguishing Halberd. We shall start the auction now. The base price will be 100 million celestial stones. Every bid must not be less than 50 million celestial stones.”
World-Extinguishing Halberd!
Pseudo-divine artifacts weren’t commonly seen, and having one would definitely increase the overall combat strength. Many Heaven Monarchs had blazing eyes, and the price was rising rapidly. Strangely, no one from the second-floor pavilions and the third-floor pavilions was bidding.
“500 million!”
“600 million!”
“…”
“1.5 billion!”
After one of the elders on the first floor had yelled out the high price of 1.5 billion, everyone on the first floor had stayed quiet. A billion and a half was a sky-high price for regular Heaven Monarchs, and unless one was a leader of the bandit legion, no one would be able to fork out such a huge sum of celestial stones.
“Three billion!”
There was a young voice that echoed from the third floor’s seventh pavilion. This voice wasn’t specially altered by the restriction, and everyone could recognize the voice as it was obviously Lu Clan’s Young Master Lu Lin.
Situ Yinian let out a lovely smile and a glance towards the third floor’s pavilion and laughed lightly. “Young Master Lin is truly generous. Is there anyone else that wants to bid? If there is no one else, this World-Extinguishing Halberd shall belong to Young Master Lin.”
“3.1 billion!”
Right at this moment, there was a lazy voice that echoed from the second floor’s pavilion. This voice was obviously altered by the restriction, and when countless eyes instinctively turned to look at the source of the voice, they saw an entirely sealed-up pavilion and could only see three digits.
555!
