Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Yan, I am your second master

With half a month to go before the auction, Xuan Ye City is already a gathering place for powerful figures, with many Dou Ling, Dou Wang, and even Dou Huang entering the city.

Although Elder Wang had already snatched up most of the items at this auction, the overall situation remained largely unchanged. Mid-level Earth-rank cultivation techniques were still available, and Grade 7 pills were also among the items up for auction.

Since Old Wang didn't have any seventh-grade pills on him, he decided to stay and see if he could buy them; with his wealth, it shouldn't be a problem.

If that doesn't work, then we'll have to resort to double-crossing.

Xiao Li, on the other hand, found a place within the Xuan Ye Sect to cultivate. He had just acquired the weapons Tian Lie and Tian Lie Zhan, and he wanted to practice them.

Half a month later,

Powerful figures from all directions have arrived in Xuan Ye City, all eager to witness the highlight of the Xuan Ye Auction House.

"Hey, have you heard? The highlight of this Xuan Ye Auction is said to be a mid-level Earth-rank cultivation technique!"

"I've heard, the news is true! Didn't you see quite a few powerful figures arriving?"

"What do you mean?"

"Look at that person, that's Blood King Fan Lao! An extremely powerful Dou Wang! And over there, his name is Yuan Yi, also a Dou Wang! And that one is Yan Huang, the fourth on the Black List, with a strength of eight-star Dou Huang!"

And there's that one, Mo Tianxing, the sect leader of the Black Emperor Sect, who's ranked second on the Black List, and that old man over there is the Eagle Mountain Elder, who's ranked third on the Black List. These powerful figures have all come.

This proves that the Xuan Ye Auction House really has some good stuff this time!

"Good heavens! Such powerful figures have all arrived. What if they start fighting in the auction house?"

"Hmph, you wouldn't believe it. The sect leader of the Xuan Ye Sect is from Zhongzhou. At the last auction, a Dou Huang expert, overconfident in his strength, tried to forcibly snatch an item. Do you know what happened then?"

"How is it?"

"That Dou Huang was killed on the spot by the Xuan Ye Sect Master and another Dou Huang expert. Blood was splattered all over the ground, and he was dead beyond any doubt."

"My God! This is truly terrifying!"

One after another, powerful figures entered the Xuan Ye Auction House. Not only were there local forces from the Black Corner Region, but also forces from neighboring countries and even major forces from the Northwest Continent.

VIP rooms at Xuanye Auction House

"Established powers like the Black Emperor Sect and Demon Flame Valley are here, as are emerging forces like the Blood Sect, the Eight Doors, and the Yin Bone Sect. Hmm? Even people from Canaan Academy are here?"

Ye Xuan stood in front of the glass window, watching the forces entering the auction hall.

"Hehe, a mid-level Earth-rank cultivation technique would cause a commotion even in Zhongzhou, let alone here," Old Wang said with a smile.

"Hehe, indeed, not only the local forces of the Black Corner Region, but also all the prominent forces of the Northwest Continent have come. The Lion Nether Sect, the Golden Goose Sect, and the Mulan Valley have all come, and even the Heavenly Serpent Mansion has come. It's truly terrifying!"

"Third Elder, we'll have to rely on you this time," Ye Xuan said to an old man on the sofa behind him.

Because the items at this auction were quite expensive, Ye Xuan notified a group of his family members, and the Ye family sent their third elder, a peak Dou Huang, to support them.

There are only a handful of Dou Zong powerhouses in the entire Northwest Continent, and those Dou Zong powerhouses know more or less about the forces in the Central Continent. Although the Ye family in the Central Region has weakened somewhat, they are not forces in the Northwest Continent that can be provoked.

"Well, leave it to me. You will personally preside over this auction." The Third Elder of the Ye family's voice was extremely hoarse.

"Understood."

On the other side, in the VIP room where Elder Wang and Xiao Li were,

This was the first time Xiao Li had ever seen such a grand auction house. Although he had seen the Mittel Auction House before, its decor was far more magnificent than that of the Xuan Ye Auction House.

This was the first time Xiao Li had ever encountered an auction house that attracted so many powerful figures. He had already discovered more than five Dou Huang experts, and there were even more Dou Wang experts, not to mention Dou Ling experts, who were everywhere in the auction house.

These people all share a common goal: the ultimate item in this auction!

Nearly 15 minutes later, a clear bell chime slowly rang out in the venue. Upon hearing the chime, Old Wang, who had been resting with his eyes closed on the sofa, also opened his eyes.

The clear chimes of the bells echoed slowly throughout the auction hall. As the bells rang, the extremely noisy atmosphere gradually subsided, and countless eyes turned to the crystal platform, filled with fervent interest.

On the dazzling crystal stage of the auction house, Ye Xuan, the sect leader of Xuan Ye Sect, stood there with a smile, dressed as an auctioneer.

"Hehe, I am Ye Xuan, the sect master of Xuan Ye Sect. Welcome to the Xuan Ye Auction. Let's skip the formalities, I'm sure you're all tired of waiting. Let's get straight to the point."

Dressed in luxurious clothes, Ye Xuan smiled as he looked at the sea of ​​people in the arena. Finally, his gaze swept over the forces sitting in the front row and the forces in the VIP room on the second floor. His loud voice echoed throughout the arena.

Ye Xuan is not only a powerful Dou Huang, but also an experienced auctioneer. It would be impossible to run such a large auction house without some skills.

"I hereby declare the Xuan Ye Auction open!"

As Ye Xuan finished speaking, the first item was presented.

It was a long spear with a deep blue color, reflecting a chilling luster under the light. Judging from the energy traces flowing on the spear, it was clearly a magic core weapon carefully forged by a master craftsman.

"This spear is named Youhan. Its tip is forged from millennia-old ice iron, making it exceptionally sharp. Furthermore, it is perfectly inlaid with a fourth-order ice-attribute magic core. If someone who cultivates water or ice attributes were to wield it in battle, its power would undoubtedly be amplified. It is a divine weapon."

Starting price: 200,000 gold coins. Please proceed!

The first item up for auction was a Tier 4 magic core weapon. Tier 4 magic core weapons are enough to make Battle Masters, Great Battle Masters, and Battle Spirits fight tooth and nail for them. A weapon that matches one's own attributes can greatly enhance one's combat power!

In the first bidding, the bid was won by an elderly man with white hair and a white beard for 300,000.

Ding--

A young maid pushed a cart to the front of the stage. On the cart was a silver plate, and on the plate lay a blue scroll.

"The second item for auction is a mid-level Xuan-rank water-attribute combat skill, Thousand Waves Palm. Starting bid..."

Although the items were being bid on one by one, no particularly exciting or unusual items appeared. The bidders were mostly people in the back with relatively low cultivation levels. The powerful forces with vast wealth in the front row and the forces in the VIP rooms on the second floor had not made a single move so far.

Another clear bell rang from the crystal platform. Ye Xuan, with a smile on his face, took a small silver tray from a maid. On the tray were two small, transparent jade bottles, each containing a pale blue pill.

If you have good eyesight, you can see that there are two strange patterns on the pale blue pill.

The appearance of the pills immediately attracted a lot of attention. After all, in the Dou Qi Continent, pills are of great importance. Pills that can directly improve strength make countless people flock to them.

"Hehe, this pill is called the 'Azure Spirit Pill.' I'm sure many people have heard of it. It can help those who have been lingering at the peak of the Battle Master realm for a long time to break through the barrier in one fell swoop. Moreover, this Azure Spirit Pill is at the second-level. After taking it, those with good luck might even experience a sudden surge in their strength to the second level."

Ye Xuan said with a smile, and as he spoke, the entire auction house began to liven up.

Ye Xuan waved his hand dismissively: "The starting price is 330,000!"

"Three hundred and forty thousand!"

"Three hundred and fifty thousand!"
