Martial World's
Ch 1159 - Grand Auction
…
…
…
True Martial World was originally one of the most beautiful and most prosperous trading centers of the heavenly Realm. Immemorial Imperial City was the largest city in the True Martial World, with most of the residents living in it. And now, borrowing the great wind from the First Martial Meeting of the heavenly Realm to raise everyone's spirits, the grand auction held could be said to be the grandest event for the past thousand years!
Before this magnificent Imperial City Auction was held, the Immemorial Imperial City had held many smaller auctions. But compared to the precious items in the Imperial City Auction, all the others were left just like that.
This auction would continue for three days and would include thousands of treasures. In addition, there were also 100,000 pieces that would only be bid on personally.
Although these were not items that would be prepared for a general auction, the reality was that they were extremely valuable. For example, items such as top grade saint pinnacle artifacts would be sold personally. In the past, even most of the direct disciples of Phoenix Cry Palace would not have such treasures, but here they would not even see the light of day.
“Two sir, this is your seat number. ”
Lin Ming and River Feather each picked up a jade slip. They checked them and saw that the number was over 200,000. This was proof that at this moment there were already over 200,000 guests at the auction site. And these 200,000 people all had to show evidence of certain financial prowess or they wouldn't be able to take a single step inside.
One could only say that the heavenly Realm was too big!
Both of them moved towards their seats. Lin Ming did not choose to change his appearance. He retains his original appearance as well as his real name.
It is easy to hide his appearance on Starbind Bank as Starbind Bank protects the privacy of their customers. Even if there was a powerhouse in the bank, they would still not do something as rude as investigating Lin Ming's true appearance in front of everyone.
But at this auction, many visitors were Holy Gods, peak Holy Gods, or even half-step World Kings. It was impossible for Lin Ming to use the technique of changing his appearance in front of them in hopes of success. Conversely, if he remained secret yet possessed a large amount of wealth, it would only attract more eyes to him, and Lin Ming would not be able to do anything against this type of investigation.
So, he might as well use his true appearance and enter the stage. It doesn't matter if someone notices it. He had already rented out the best cultivation area he could in Immemorial Imperial City. Once this auction was over, he could train there for three months in absolute safety.
Once he joined the First Martial Meeting, he would be safer.
This auction site was similar to the arena of the Sacred Martial Tournament. But it's a little smaller. The place is only five square miles, and the seating area is much higher up to 10 miles. Like this, they can accommodate more guests.
At a glance, the countless chairs were like tiny grains of sand in the desert.
In the middle of the auction venue there was also a battle array disc floating in the sky. It would project an image of the auction item so that everyone could clearly see it.
Lin Ming followed River Feather to the auction site until they reached the designated area of the River Family. Here, they couldn't help but meet big brother River Feather – River Wind.
River Wind looked at River Feather and Lin Ming with a smile on his face. He directly ignored Lin Ming and only looked at the Feather River, "My little sister, you know, I never imagined that you would manage to get enough money to come and bid for the most expensive items here. Did you borrow it from your Loser friend? Do you rely on buying some top grade saint artifacts here and giving the First Martial Meeting a chance? Do you want to gain experience or something? "
River Wind's words were clearly mocking. He had suppressed River Feather's ability to borrow violet sun stones from his family and hoped that River Feather would not have the money to come here. Being able to purchase some top grade saint artifacts was already better than he had expected. As for River Feather making all the progress in the First Martial Meeting, it was just a joke. Let alone River Feather, it was impossible even for Yue Ironrock.
River Feather sneered. He said, “The reason I came to this auction was to accompany my friend to participate. As for the First Martial Meeting three months from now, Big Brother does not need to waste energy and worry about me. ”
"Friends?" River Wind shot Lin Ming a glance and then laughed out loud, not even willing to waste any cruel words. After all, he had no hatred or conflict with Lin Ming, and he was not stupid enough to randomly make new enemies. Moreover, Lin Ming only had a ninth stage Life Destruction cultivation; river Wind did not place him in his heart.
Lin Ming did not see River Wind. This kind of low and trivial character did not even enter his eyes. At this moment, the only competition was the heroic young elites from a World King level Holy Land!
And these people were all sitting on the top seat provided.
"No one from the True Martial Holy Land has come. The Sacred Lord of the True Martial Holy Lands was a World True Martial King. This person had managed the True Martial Great World and Starbind Bank for so many years that he must have accumulated countless fortunes and resources. These resources should be more than enough to supply the disciples of His Holy Land with everything they need. Just in this aspect alone, an ordinary World King level Holy Land like the Sacred Martial Mansion could not compare..
Around Lin Ming, 90% of the martial artists present were heroic young elites. They all came for this auction and also the First Martial Meeting three months from now. They are constantly discussing all the interesting events that have recently happened.
Lin Ming sat with his eyes closed in meditation, ignoring all the conversations around him. This auction will be similar to a battlefield. If he could not win here then it would be difficult for him to quickly increase his strength in the next three months. It would greatly affect his appearance in the First Martial Meeting of the heavenly Realm! If he wanted to advance to the top 10 then, it would be too difficult!
“Dear guests, you have waited a long time! The Imperial City Auction will begin now! "
At this moment, at the center of the auction site, a charming and flirtatious voice echoed out, easily spreading over a dozen miles.
Lin Ming opened his eyes. He could see that at the center of the auction site, there was a woman dressed in red standing there. She was delicate and naively beautiful, with a cold white skin and a body that seemed to be formed from water. He has a cute look with eyes that promise 10,000 different dreams. Overall, she's very pretty. Moreover, the strange thing was that he had a long winter white fox tail.
"That's Princess Honeylush of the Fox Clan. I don't think that this auction will be managed by him. '' River Feather commented from the side. Lin Ming was from one of the four God Beast Clans, but even though they were called the Beast God Clan, they only had the bloodline of a Beast God transplanted into their bodies. As for the Wintry Fox Clan, they clearly had a true winter fox ancestor. They are the descendants of humans and winter foxes who have lived long enough to embody the human form. They were considered half monsters, so they had certain characteristics like foxes! As for the four juniors of the God Beast Clan clan, although they could use some secret skills to take on the form or characteristics of a God Beast, they were not true body parts.
"This .. wow, I heard that Princess Honeylush's talent is very high, not inferior to the three prodigies of the Sacred Martial Mansion. There were many suitors chasing after him. With him leading this auction, countless young elites would crazily raise the price in their desire to please him! ”
Lin Ming thought about it a little. “That's no problem. Princess Honeylush will at most be able to affect the price of some common items. As for the true final closing treasure that involved such a large sum of money, no one would carelessly raise the price just for a smile from a random beauty. ”
Lin Ming sat down, keeping his heart and mind calm and clear. At this moment, the first auction item was placed on the stage.
For each auction, the best items would naturally be placed at the end. But, the first item would be of high quality as well, with a value no lower than it would come in the end. This is to evoke the good mood of the guests and to bring the opening event to the event.
Princess Honeylush patted the box nearby and smiled sweetly. He said in a clear and timid tone, “Thank you so many guests for your support. In this Imperial City Auction, there were over 300,000 guests present. This was the first auction item for this big and important event! What could possibly happen? Even I don't know! "
Princess Honeylush's voice was as sweet as honey, causing those who heard it to feel their hearts twitch. He was skilled at raising the spirits of the valiant young elites. Many people shouted, asking him to immediately open the box and start the auction.
"The first item auctioned was ..." As Princess Honeylush spoke here, she slowly opened the box, revealing a flawless piece of crystal. This crystal is baby-shaped, only half a foot tall. Through the projection of the battle array disc, one could clearly see every inch and crystal texture. The strange thing was that this 'baby' had nine holes in his body. Coincidentally, these nine holes were all related to vital acupoints on the human body. They are naturally shaped and not carved, natural wonders.
And beside this crystal was a card. Princess Honeylush took the card and looked over there. He laughed and said, The first “Item to auction is a nine aperture spirit crystal! Hehe, so that's how it is! I think many of the guests present will be joining the First Martial Meeting of the heavenly Realm in three months. If you lose to a strong opponent, then there is nothing left to say. However, if you lose to the opponent not because of your strength but because of the weapon, then it will really regret!
"This nine-hole spirit crystal can be used to feed artifact spirit artifacts! I thought that there was no need for me to mention how valuable the artifact spirit was to a spirit artifact and what benefits the stronger artifact spirit would bring. To perform well, the necessary tools are needed. With a superior weapon, the battle was already half won! These nine orifice spirit crystals had a base price of 4 billion violet sun stones, and the minimum bid increment each time was 500 million violet sun stones. And now, it's time to start the auction! ”
Nine orifice spirit crystal!
Many of the young elites present gulped. The first auction item was actually aimed at spirit artifacts! One could not forget that this auction was intended for the heavenly Sea martial artists. A Heavenly Sea martial artist using a spirit artifact? What kind of luxury is that! This kind of spirit artifact required supreme elders to spend a lot of time and energy so that the young elites could be in harmony with it. Other than juniors from super influences, no other heavenly Ocean martial artist could be so extravagant.
From this alone, one could see just how majestic and glorious this auction was! Some of the poorer young elites felt their hearts ache. They had collected the lowest amount possible to hopefully join this auction as tin foil, but they could not even afford to pay a fifth of the initial bid price!
"Nine spirit crystal holes, not bad!"
Lin Ming thought to himself. The first auction item was something that would really be very useful to him. This is a very good sign but it also makes sense. Everything in this auction is aimed at the geniuses of the Divine Sea!
"5 billion!" In the audience, a young man exclaimed, suddenly attracting the envy and admiration of many people. This proved that this young man had spirit artifacts as weapons. The background is imaginable!
This young man faintly smiled as if this was not something worth mentioning. But in the next breath of time, someone else raised the price.
"5. 5 billion! "
"6 billion!"
The price rose higher and higher but Lin Ming remained unmoved for now. He knew that the starting price was only a temporary exploration. True buyers have not yet shown themselves!
