The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival.
After months of preparation, the Forbidden City auction is finally about to begin.
"Master Chen, long time no see."
"Headmaster Li, you look good."
The heads of two small sects in front of the venue were greeting each other.
"Master Wang, I didn't expect you to come too."
"Haha, I have been staying at Grandmaster for twenty years, so I came to see if I can take a picture of the elixir. Even if I can't, I can't miss such a lively scene."
"Senior, you are always going strong. When you used a big sword to hunt down the horse bandits outside the Great Wall, you were greatly admired by people in the world."
This is the younger generation trying to flatter their seniors.
Similar scenes happened everywhere in the Forbidden City. The world is huge and many people may not see each other for years or decades. But this gathering gave everyone an opportunity. Many friends who had not seen each other for many years hugged each other and cried. Rumor has it that masters who have already passed away have never left the world.
The old man and the young man wanted to take a chance and see the world by the way. The young man was high-spirited and wanted to become a hero known to everyone when he first entered the world.
At this time, people outside the venue had already entered the venue one by one according to their ticket stubs. There were grandmasters at the eight entrances, while Dongfang Bubai was stationed inside the venue. The aura of the grandmaster made everyone who entered the venue very orderly and did not dare to be arrogant.
The private room was also full of people, and they were communicating with each other before the auction started.
Changqing was in the top box and had a clear view of the situation below. Everyone who entered the venue would look at his position from time to time, knowing that in this box was the most mysterious and legendary person in the world.
We started entering the venue before dawn, and as soon as the sun began to rise, the venue was already filled with people from all walks of life. It looked like it was so densely packed that there were hundreds of thousands of people.
"There are so many people. It's the first time I've seen so many people."
“I don’t know if I can take a picture of anything, ugh.”
"It's rare to be able to participate in this grand event. It doesn't matter if you can't take the photo. Brother Li, we haven't seen each other in ten years. We must not get drunk when the auction is over."
"Hahaha, you're right, you won't come home until you're drunk."
People in the venue were whispering to each other, some were excited, some were worried that they wouldn't be able to get the elixir, some were frustrated that they didn't have enough money, and some looked at Western Zhou with evil intentions.
"Sir, Your Majesty asked me to ask you, can we start?"
"Well, let's get started."
Haitang retreated.
After a while, a burst of drum music sounded, followed by a salute.
A beautiful woman in pink clothes walked onto the high platform.
It was Gongsun Li.
This time the host of ceremonies.
"The little girl, Gongsun Li, is the master of ceremonies for this auction. Everyone is welcome to come and participate in the auction."
The voice of the Grandmaster Realm can be heard throughout the entire venue through the blessing of internal energy.
"Ah, it's Mr. Gongsun. I've heard of it in Chang'an."
"So beautiful."
"It's incredible that he is a master at such a young age."
After it was quiet down below, Gongsun Li continued.
"I would like to invite Mr. Changqing to speak below."
After speaking, he nodded towards Changqing's position.
I saw Chang Qing walking out of the private room, flying into the air, and showing off his momentum.
"Thank you for giving Zhang some face. The number of elixirs in this auction is far more than the previous two. I hope you can get the elixirs you like." Then he saluted to Western Zhou.
"Wow, it really can fly. Is this the land god?"
"What a powerful momentum."
"Just looking at it will make you feel oppressed."
At this time, Ying Zheng's private room.
"Donghuang, how are you?"
"It's really inhuman. I just released my energy slightly, but before I even got close, it was backfired." Donghuang Taiyi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, his face looked a little incredible.
"Humph, I told you not to tempt you and you won't listen. I've already shown mercy." Ying Zheng said.
"Master, is this the land god?"
"Well, that's scary."
Gongsunli continued.
"Next, there will be three auctions."
"I would like to invite the auctioneer of the first auction, Wang Yuyan."
Then Wang Yuyan walked onto the stage.
"Thank you everyone. I will host the first auction. There are two kinds of elixirs in this auction. The first is Xiantian Dan and the second is Grandmaster Dan."
"As for the elixirs such as the Qi-Reviving Pill, the Spirit-Restoring Pill, and the Small Broken Mirror Pill that appeared in the previous two auctions, they will not participate in this auction."
"First, auction the Xiantian Pills. There are ten groups of Xiantian Pills. Each group contains one hundred pills."
"Wow, a hundred."
Everyone in the audience was shocked.
Wang Yuyan pursed her lips and smiled.
"Yu Yan hasn't finished speaking yet. The ticket stubs in the hands of everyone present have digital numbers. Considering that many of you are unable or have no need to take pictures of the entire set of elixirs, I thought of a way."
Yuyan paused and continued.
"In addition to the ten groups mentioned just now that are going to be auctioned, Young Master has specially thought of a way. After the auction of the ten groups is over, a lottery will be held, with a total of one thousand groups of numbers. Each number can buy an Xiantian Pill at the lowest price."
After Wang Yuyan said that, everyone in the audience was excited. When they were talking about the ten groups, they already thought they had no chance. They didn't expect there would be another chance. Even though a thousand people would be drawn out of hundreds of thousands, it was still a hope.
Zhang Sanfeng said while stroking his beard.
"Okay, my little friend is indeed very intelligent."
Then everyone squeezed the ticket stubs in their hands.
"Now we will auction the first set of Xiantian Pills with a base price of two million taels. By the way, the base price for the subsequent draws will be twenty thousand taels."
"Start the bidding, and each bid increase shall not be less than one hundred thousand."
The nature of a whole group shot is different from a single shot, so all the major forces want to shoot the whole group.
"Haha, I'll make a fortune first. Two and a half million taels."
"three million."
“West Hyakuman.”
In the end, the first group of pills was obtained by Duan of Dali at a high price of 6 million.
It was tripled to increase Dali's reputation in front of everyone.
As for the great powers of the Tang, Song, Qin and Ming dynasties, they have not yet taken action.
The auction continues.
In the later groups, the major countries finally began to take action.
Ten groups of elixirs were finally sold by Shaolin, Wudang, Emei, Dali, Quanzhen Sect and other major countries, with a total of 70 million taels.
Next, Yuyan asked someone to bring up ten things that looked like two-color ball turntables.
The exciting lottery draw has begun.
As the ten etiquette ladies shake their hands, numbers are released one after another. When a number is read, someone will raise their hand, and then a master arranged in advance will go to confirm the handover.
The lottery lasted for an hour, and those who won the prize were naturally elated, while those who did not get the prize could only secretly feel sad.
"Next is the Grandmaster Pill, still in ten groups. Each group has fifty pills."
"Wow..."
Everyone was shocked, there were so many pills.
"After the auction ends, the number of winners will be one hundred."
Yu Yan continued.
"The first group has a base price of 20 million taels. Each increase in price must not be less than 1 million."
"hiss…"
"With so much money, I guess only those countries have the strength."
"Twelve pieces of Hexi."
"Hmph, there are people waiting in line for a grandmaster in Xishiwan."
In the end, as expected, the Grandmaster Pill was divided equally among several countries. A total of more than 300 million taels were taken.
There were a few episodes in the next lottery. A few lucky people were drawn, but they didn't have much money to buy. Later, with the consent of the venue, the trading rights could be sold privately, and a few people made a small profit. Ten thousand taels.
Gongsunli came to power again.
"Thank you for your support. The auctioneer for the second auction will be Huang Rong."
Soon Huang Rong's lively figure jumped onto the stage.
"Hehe, hello everyone, I am Huang Rong, whom everyone is familiar with, and I will host this auction."
"Haha, it's Miss Huang Rong. I didn't expect it to be her again. I saw her at the last auction."
"This little girl is already a master. Comparing others to each other is so irritating."
Everyone in the audience is familiar with Huang Rong.
"Huang Laoxie, it won't be long before your daughter's cultivation level will catch up with yours."
Hong Qigong in the audience said to Huang Yaoshi beside him.
"Humph, she is still my daughter no matter what." Huang Yaoshi gave Hong Qigong a look that said, "You can't afford a daughter like this." He almost made Qigong angry to death.
"There are two types of elixirs in the second auction. The first is the Grand Master elixir, with a total of one hundred elixirs. Single auction."
"The second type of great realm-breaking pill can break through a small realm within the realm of a grand master. There are two hundred pills in total. They are also sold individually."
After Huang Rong finished speaking, the audience was shocked.
"Oh my god, this means there will be a hundred more grand masters in the world."
"I don't usually see anyone."
The emperors of various countries in the private room did not expect that Chang Qing would be so generous, a hundred. The countries with the most grandmasters, including the imperial court and the largest number of martial arts circles, were the Great Song Dynasty and the Great Qin Dynasty, but they only had less than ten people.
"Master, you are also a Grandmaster. Is it difficult to become a Grandmaster?"
A cute little girl who looked like a Taoist boy asked the old Taoist priest next to her.
The old man touched the little girl's head and said.
"For Xiaomeng, it is only a matter of time before he becomes a great master. What is difficult is the road ahead. The world does not allow this." The old Taoist sighed.
These two people were Bei Mingzi of Da Qin Taoist Tian Sect and his new disciple eight-year-old Xiao Meng.
The old Taoist turned his attention to the high platform again.
"I just wonder if you can open the way to heaven and give all living beings hope, Mr. Changqing." Bei Mingzi said while looking at the private room on the high platform.
"Huh?" Changqing seemed to feel Bei Mingzi's gaze and couldn't help but look there.
"A Taoist?"
Huang Rong and others on the stage had almost finished digesting it and began to speak.
"First, auction the Great Broken Mirror Pill. The starting price is one million taels."
Although the Broken Mirror Pill cannot make people advance, it can improve a small level. You must know that a person stuck in the early stage of Grand Master may not reach the middle or late stage until his death.
"I'll offer you 1.5 million."
The first one to speak was actually Huashan Feng Qingyang.
"Hey, this guy is here too." Changqing smiled.
After Feng Qingyang made the bid, his momentum became slightly lowered. The Grand Master's cultivation also made everyone wonder where this Grand Master was and why they hadn't heard of it before.
"It turned out to be him. I didn't expect he was still alive."
Someone who knew me explained.
"He is a member of the Huashan Sect. He became famous in the world decades ago, but I haven't seen him for decades, and he is already a great master."
There were still many people in the Ming Dynasty who knew Feng Qingyang or had heard of his deeds, and they immediately introduced Feng Qingyang to people from other countries around him.
It seems that the grand master still has face. After all, it is just a realm-breaking pill, and no one is fighting for it anymore. There are 199 more pills behind him, so there is no rush, so the first pill falls into Feng Qingyang's hands.
