System Auction Shop, I'll sell out across all realms!

Chapter 3, First Auction: What a grand affair!

Three days later, the Zhutian Auction House officially opened.

As dawn broke, the entrance to No. 88 Xuanwu Street was already crowded with people.

The news circulated for three whole days.

This newly opened auction house is completely unknown in Xuantian City.

Even the second-rate powers in the city didn't take it seriously at all.

But the words it uttered caused an uproar among the lower-level cultivators.

Admission is completely free, and there are no handling fees for the auction.

What else is there to say?

Even if it's just to sleep inside, they'd go just for the word "free"!

You should know that the old auction house in Xuantian City charges five spirit stones just for entering.

A rogue cultivator with no savings wouldn't even dare to approach the door.

It's free, you can go in and broaden your horizons, only a fool wouldn't come.

Eight or nine out of ten people hold this view.

At the stroke of dawn, the doors of the Zhutian Auction House slowly opened, and the crowd immediately filed in.

but……

The monks only filled the front half of the hall, leaving a large empty space in the back.

Lin Tian stood in the shadows on the second floor, observing coldly without any surprise.

For a new store with no reputation or influence to attract 700 people is already a good start.

The next second!

All the monks who entered froze in place.

watt?

Isn't it newly opened...?

Why does it look like a royal palace?

This is no ordinary, nameless auction house; it's clearly a paradise in the eyes of cultivators!

The lobby on the first floor is spacious and can accommodate tens of thousands of people.

In the very center stands a three-foot-high auction platform, entirely constructed of warm, lustrous white jade.

The surface is as smooth as a mirror, reflecting people's images clearly.

The platform is inlaid with nine fist-sized moonstones.

The soft light bathed the entire platform, making it resemble a celestial terrace.

The tiered seating surrounding the auction stage.

No matter where you sit, you can clearly see the objects on the stage.

The seats were all made of top-grade spirit wood and covered with soft and warm spirit beast fur, making them look extremely luxurious.

"This...is it really a place that's free to enter?"

The voice of a rogue cultivator in a tattered Taoist robe trembled.

He carefully touched the animal hide on the seat.

He then quickly withdrew his hand, afraid of damaging it and not being able to afford the compensation.

He had only ever heard of such grandeur in rumors about top auction houses before, and he didn't even have the right to get close to it.

A burst of exclamations erupted instantly, one wave higher than the next.

"Is that a spirit-patterned carpet on the floor?"

"I've seen even a tiny piece, the size of a fingernail, cost eighty spirit stones at pawnshops, and here it's completely covered!"

"The spiritual energy here is incredibly dense, ten times better than any cultivation ground deep in the mountains. You can increase your cultivation just by sitting here!"

"Look upstairs, those are private rooms!"

"The intricate carvings on the screen are at least the work of a master of the Transcendent Realm; it's far too extravagant!"

A burly man with a full beard plopped down, almost groaning in comfort, and turned to pat his companion, shouting:

"Brother, even if you don't buy anything today, just sitting here for a while will be worth it for your whole life!"

The lower-level cultivators were completely excited, each of them beaming with joy.

For them, this is a place they might only visit once in their lifetime.

Just as the crowd was making a ruckus, several figures slowly walked through the gate, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Unlike the excited lower-level cultivators, the newcomer exuded an imposing aura.

The leader was a burly man, wearing a mink coat, with broad shoulders and a thick waist.

He exuded a chilling aura of someone who had been through countless battles, and wherever his gaze swept, the surrounding air seemed to grow colder.

He had a long sword, about half his height, hanging from his waist.

The scabbard was engraved with a ferocious wolf's head, faintly glowing with blood; it was clearly no ordinary item.

The man casually glanced around the hall, a barely perceptible hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

He then carried the large sword and walked straight to the front row, each step exuding an extremely strong sense of oppression.

"It's Lion Madman, the vice-captain of the Mad Lion Mercenary Group!"

Someone gasped in surprise, and the surrounding cultivators' expressions changed drastically. They all shrank back, not daring to look directly at them.

Mad Lion Mercenary Group

They are the number one mercenary force in Xuantian City, monopolizing the hunting of monsters and the gathering of spiritual materials in the Northern Wilderness, and their subordinates are all ruthless characters.

As the deputy leader, Lion Mad's cultivation had already reached the Opening Yuan Realm, making him a renowned expert in the city.

His wolf-headed sword was forged from the spine of a third-tier demon beast, making it incredibly powerful.

Such important figures usually only go to top auction houses.

No one expected him to come to this nameless new store.

Lion Madman ignored the surrounding discussions and directly paid to book a private room on the second floor.

He then placed the broadsword horizontally on his lap and closed his eyes to rest.

His aura completely shut out all noise, as if everything was irrelevant to him.

Immediately afterwards, another figure caused a stir among the crowd.

That was a middle-aged man dressed in brocade robes!

He had a handsome face and an elegant demeanor; one could tell at a glance that he came from a prestigious family.

"It's Elder Xiao Gu of the Xiao Clan!"

With renewed calls for action, no one dared to be negligent.

The Xiao Clan is one of the four major families of Xuantian City.

They control one-third of the city's elixir business, possessing profound resources and immense power.

Xiao Gu, who was in charge of the family's foreign trade, came here simply to pass the time.

He remained calm, with a slight smile on his face.

There was neither the astonishment of a lower-level cultivator nor the indifference of a lion madman; clearly, he was used to grand scenes.

He casually took a seat in a private room, and his attendant immediately served him fine tea, his manners composed and appropriate.

With the appearance of two top figures, this auction, originally aimed at the lower classes, instantly gained significant weight.

At this point, all the items on the auction stage had been arranged properly.

Lin Tian had put a lot of thought into these items.

A few days ago, he sent Wang Wei and Wang Teng to pawnshops and shops all over the city to acquire suitable items for auction.

But when the shopkeepers saw that it was a new auction house, although they really wanted to support the new force...

but……

I have the will but not the strength...

Treasures of the third rank and above have long been firmly controlled by the established forces in the city, and they have no chance to interfere.

The two of them ran themselves ragged before finally managing to gather five items for auction:

The first-grade superior-quality Mountain and Sea Sword has a bluish tinge on its blade and is remarkably sharp.

The first-grade Body Refining Pill can temper the bones and muscles, helping cultivators in the Body Refining Realm to break through quickly.

The first-grade superior martial art, "The Violent Lion Palm Technique," is characterized by its fierce and powerful moves; when mastered, it can shatter stone tablets and split rocks.

In addition, there are two second-tier items: the chilling Frost Spirit Sword and the Golden Scale Armor, which can withstand a full-force attack from a Kaiyuan Realm cultivator.

These five items are not top-tier in quality and would be unremarkable in a major auction house.

But for the more than 700 low-level rogue cultivators and disciples from small factions who are present today, it couldn't be more suitable.

After all, they only have a limited amount of spirit stones in their pockets, and even if they put out third or fourth-tier treasures, they simply couldn't afford them.

Lin Tian knew better than anyone that he never intended to make money from these items.

The real show at the All Heavens Auction House will only begin when these items are successfully sold.

At that time, he would bring out an item that would return a hundredfold from the system as the grand finale.

Lin Tian was confident that this would absolutely scare these cultivators to death!

……

The noise in the hall gradually subsided, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the central white jade auction stage.

The atmosphere is very impressive, but I don't know what the quality of the items being auctioned is like.

We can't try to fool them with those cheap, mass-produced items...
