People in Doupo: Unparalleled Talents Actually Bring a System

But she quickly regained her composure and said calmly: "However, such treasures are still out of reach for us."

Xiao Ling grinned and comforted him easily: "Haha, don't worry, I believe you will be able to reach the realm of Dou Sheng in the future."

After hearing this, Medusa's eyes flashed with a complicated light, and she smiled and responded: "Thank you for your good words, I hope so."

The two of them finished their discussion on the topic of Bodhicitta, and Medusa turned to ask Xiao Ling about some news and situations in Zhongzhou.

Xiao Ling told Medusa everything he knew and the information he could share, which allowed her to gain a better understanding of Zhongzhou and aroused her curiosity about that place.

About two hours later, Xiao Yixian and Zi Yan also returned to the room.

The four of them chatted casually for a while, and then Medusa took Zi Yan to another room. It was obvious that they planned to rest together.

As a couple in love, Xiao Yixiang and Xiao Ling naturally have their own things to do.

……

The night was peaceful and the undercurrents in the outside world did not seem to affect their peace.

As the night quietly faded away and the first rays of morning light broke out, the Black Emperor City seemed to be awakened in an instant, radiating amazing vitality. The originally empty streets were quickly filled with people pouring in from all directions. They had only one goal, that was the magnificent auction square in the center of the city!

For this auction, the Black Emperor Sect had started to build momentum several months in advance, intentionally or unintentionally leaking information about some rare treasures. Especially the coveted Bodhi Transformation Saliva, which attracted the attention of countless powerful people. Many old predecessors who had not appeared in the Black Horn Region for a long time, as well as Dou Zong powerful people from outside the Black Horn Region, gathered here to see the charm of these treasures.

Xiao Ling easily arranged a VIP box with his own strength. They arrived a few minutes early and stood in the box, overlooking the hall below through the one-way glass wall that only allowed people to see outside from the inside. The hall was crowded with people, and the voices of people talking gathered into a noisy sound wave. It was roughly estimated that there were at least thousands of people.

In the VIP passage on one side of the hall, famous strong men in the Black Horn Region appeared from time to time. Each of these people was a well-known character.

The top two on the list, Jin and Yin, are twin brothers. Both are Douhuang-level warriors. When they join forces, they can even fight against Douzong warriors.

The leader of the Blood Clan, Fan Lao, is a four-star Dou Huang, known for his ruthlessness and strength.

Su Mei, the leader of Luosha Sect, is one of the few powerful women in the Black Horn Region. Her reputation is as awe-inspiring as her strength.

Lu Man, the Dou Huang warrior who took Qing Lin away in the original novel, also attended the auction on behalf of Tianshe Mansion this time.

The fact that this auction could attract so many powerful people is enough to prove the prestige of the Black Emperor Sect and its heavy promotion of this auction.

With the arrival of these powerful people, the atmosphere of the auction became more tense and full of expectations. Everyone present was looking forward to it, curious about what rare treasures would be displayed at today's auction.

Even Fang Yan from the Demon Flame Valley, who had had contact with Xiao Ling before, attended the auction with several elders.

Seeing that Fang Yan had now reached Dou Zong level, Xiao Ling showed a meaningful smile on his face. It seemed that the Po Zong Dan he had given him before was not wasted. In this auction, he might be able to obtain another Dou Zong level body.

At this time, Zi Yan suddenly pointed in a direction, with a hint of surprise in her tone: "Look over there, isn't that Elder Huo and Xiao Yan? Why are they here too?"

After hearing Zi Yan's words, everyone looked in the direction she pointed, and indeed found two familiar figures, Elder Huo and Xiao Yan.

Xiao Ling gently rubbed Zi Yan's hair and said with a smile: "They may have heard that there are some good things in this auction, so they also came to take a look. We don't have to worry too much. Elder Huo is powerful enough, so they shouldn't encounter any trouble."

Zi Yan nodded, obviously agreeing with Xiao Ling's words. The people around were still talking excitedly. Xiao Ling and the others continued to chat in the box, waiting for the auction to officially begin.

……

As noon approached, an old man in a yellow robe slowly walked towards them. His robe was embroidered with several golden pythons. Under the light, the pythons seemed to come alive, emitting a faint light, giving people a strange sense of oppression.

"This is Mo Tianxing, a well-known top warrior in the Black Horn Region. He was already a Dou Zong level figure more than ten years ago. He has been practicing in seclusion over the years and rarely shows up, but it is because of him that the Black Emperor Sect can maintain such a transcendent status." Xiao Ling introduced to the people next to him. Although he had never seen Mo Tianxing in person, with his status and position, it was not difficult for him to get a portrait and understand his appearance.

After listening to Xiao Ling's introduction, Xiao Yixian, Medusa and Zi Yan also looked at Mo Tianxing a few more times. The strength of a four-star Dou Zong is indeed considered to be the top powerhouse in the Northwest Continent, but to them, it is just that.

As time went by, more and more masters entered the auction. In addition to the Dou Zong level figure mentioned in the original novel, there were three Dou Zong masters that Xiao Ling had never heard of.

With Xiao Ling's perception, he realized the strength levels of the three opponents. One was Dou Zong three stars, one was Dou Zong four stars, and the other was an even more powerful Dou Zong five stars.

Judging from their positions and behaviors, the two Dou Zongs with lower star levels seemed to be on the same side, while the five-star Dou Zong appeared to be alone, and it was obvious that he came here alone this time.

According to Xiao Ling's guess, these people might have happened to be near the Black Horn Region recently, and heard the news of the Black Emperor Sect's auction, so they decided to come over and try their luck to see if they could get anything.

Finally, at a certain moment, a clear bell sounded from the center of the auction hall. It echoed melodiously in the venue, gradually drowning out the noise all around.

As the sound of the bell faded away, an energy halo slowly rose above the auction table. It gradually rose, and eventually, like a huge transparent cover, it enveloped the entire auction table.

This is for safety reasons. After all, in a lawless place like Black Horn, robbery of auction items has happened before.

Although the Black Emperor Sect was not an ordinary small force, they naturally did not dare to take it lightly in the face of such valuable auction items and the Dou Zong masters present. If something went wrong, the Black Emperor Sect would lose face.

After the energy halo rose to the top, it was like a huge inverted jade bowl, firmly covering the auction table, providing an extra layer of protection for the upcoming auction.

Chapter 278 Mo Tianxing

Then, with a low sound of metallic friction, the floor of the auction platform slowly cracked, revealing a staircase leading to the underground, attracting the attention of everyone present.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Mo Tianxing slowly walked out of the passage. The powerful aura emanating from him made the entire hall quiet in an instant.

"Dear friends, my name is Mo Tianxing. I believe many of you here have heard of me. Today, our Black Emperor Sect is fortunate to host this auction. As the sect leader, I would like to thank you all for coming." Mo Tianxing's voice was calm and powerful. His eyes slowly swept across the venue, and his smile and voice echoed in the venue.

Mo Tianxing's opening remarks caused some people in the VIP seats to chuckle, and the atmosphere seemed very lively.

As an old power in the Black Horn Region, the Black Emperor Sect had deep roots and had made extensive connections over the years. Mo Tianxing himself also had friends all over the world, and had more or less friendships with many of the powerful people present.

As the laughter rang out, Mo Tianxing also smiled. His eyes swept around the venue and finally stopped at the second-floor box where Xiao Ling and the others were.

"I know everyone has been looking forward to today's auction for a long time, so I won't say any more polite words." Mo Tianxing said with a faint smile, his voice echoing in the venue so that everyone could hear it clearly.

Under the gazes of many people, Mo Tianxing smiled with a hint of seriousness: "However, I still want to remind everyone that everyone should be aware of the rules of the auction. Today, I am personally here, in front of so many people, I want to say one thing, if anyone dares to make trouble here, I guarantee that he will regret it!"

The warning from a Dou Zong master naturally carries a lot of weight.

Mo Tianxing's cold words echoed in the auction hall, and the originally noisy hall suddenly became silent. Even those who were always bold and daring, under Mo Tianxing's emotionless gaze, couldn't help but put away some of their evil intentions, and their faces changed slightly.

The experts in the VIP box were still talking and laughing on the surface, chatting with their entourage, and seemed to take Mo Tianxing's warning lightly. But anyone with a discerning eye could see that they were just trying to keep up appearances and didn't want to lose their status in front of everyone.

In fact, in this huge auction venue, the number of people who dared to openly challenge the Black Emperor Sect could probably be counted on one hand. Mo Tianxing's intimidation was enough to make most people think twice before acting.

"Haha, I know you all can't wait, so I won't take up any more of your time. So, let's get straight to the point."

Mo Tianxing smiled slightly on the stage, bowed, and then slowly retreated behind the scenes. His goal had been achieved, and the atmosphere on the scene had been shocked by his words. Now, it was time for the auction to officially begin.

As Mo Tianxing left, the floor of the auction platform cracked again, revealing several passages. Then, an old man with white hair but a vigorous spirit walked out with a smile on his face.

Behind the old man, a group of beautiful maids held silver plates in their hands, flitting across the stage like ethereal butterflies. They placed the plates respectfully on the auction stone table, adding a sense of solemnity and anticipation to the upcoming auction.

"Everyone, I'm Zhang Feng. I'll be hosting this auction for you today. Let's not beat around the bush and get straight to the point." The white-haired old man Zhang Feng pointed to the silver plate in front of him with a smile. On the plate lay a pure white scroll.

"This fighting skill is called Tianyu Finger, and it belongs to the middle level of Xuan rank." He went on to introduce, "Finger fighting skills are rare. Although it is a bit challenging to practice, once you master it, it can often produce unexpected results in battle. Everyone here is an expert, and you should all understand the power of finger fighting skills."

"The true value of the Tianyu Finger is that the market price starts at at least 300,000 gold coins. But since it is the opening item for today's auction, our sect leader has specially set a preferential starting price of only 100,000 gold coins. The ceiling price is 800,000. Whoever bids to this price first will get the Tianyu Finger, no matter how the subsequent bids go. Opportunities like this don't come around every day, so you must seize the opportunity." There was a hint of temptation in Zhang Feng's words, obviously intended to stimulate the interest of the bidders present.

This old man was obviously a veteran in the auction house and was very experienced. With just a few simple words, he successfully ignited the atmosphere in the auction house.

This is not a small place, and one hundred thousand gold coins is not a large sum for most people present.

Moreover, as the old man said, the value of the Sky Feather Finger was indeed far beyond the starting price of 100,000 gold coins. Therefore, as soon as he finished speaking, the auction hall was filled with the sound of continuous bidding.

"I'll give you 150,000 gold coins!"

"Two hundred thousand!"

"..."

In the VIP box, Xiao Ling and his friends were not interested in these primary auction items. They just wanted to watch the fun and wait patiently for the appearance of Bodhi Transformation Saliva.

The atmosphere in the hall was extremely lively. With the old auctioneer's constant praise and incitement, every auction item was quickly sold at a high price, making the auctioneer earn a lot of money.

This was not only the case with the first lot, but also with the following lots, each of which was sold at a price far exceeding its actual value. Driven by this heated atmosphere, the bidders seemed to become enthusiastic and forget to think calmly.

Xiao Ling thought to himself that if the auctioneer was a beauty like Miter Yafei, the scene might be even crazier...

Of course, the reason why the auction was so lively was largely due to the careful preparations of the Black Emperor Sect.

Each auction item was carefully selected and of high quality. It could be said that this was the highest quality auction Xiao Ling and his team had seen in recent years.

However, in the eyes of Xiao Ling and his friends, these so-called rare things are mostly just chicken ribs that are tasteless to eat and a pity to throw away, and are not enough to arouse their interest.

However, Elder Huo and Xiao Yan were interested in some precious medicinal herbs. They tried several times and put them in their pockets.

Zi Yan also took the opportunity to experience the fun of the auction and bought several sparkling gems and exquisite accessories. For a strong person who focuses on strength, these may not be worth mentioning, but Zi Yan seems to have a special liking for these shiny things, perhaps because of her dragon nature.

Xiao Ling is rich and powerful, and since Zi Yan likes it, he will naturally let her go and have fun.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the auction had been going on for more than an hour in this warm atmosphere.

As the quality of the auction items continued to improve, even some powerful people in the VIP box could no longer hold back and joined the bidding.

The participation of these powerful people undoubtedly made the atmosphere of the auction more lively.

After all, this auction brought together many forces from all over the Black Horn Region, some of whom disliked each other, and some even had deep hatreds.

When they meet in such occasions, they will inevitably make the other party feel uncomfortable. Even if they don’t really need a certain item, they will bid up the price desperately. As long as they can make their opponent feel distressed, they will be very happy. This behavior of hurting others and not benefiting themselves is a different kind of fun for them...

On the stage, as an item was sold, the old man took a silver plate from the maid beside him with a mysterious smile. On the plate was a scroll as red as flames.

"Everyone, the next fighting skill is definitely worthy of your attention, because it is very special and rare. It is a tape measure fighting skill!" There was a hint of excitement in the old man's voice.

"Although this fighting skill is a little unpopular, its level cannot be underestimated. It has reached the middle level of the Earth Rank. It is said that this was left behind by a powerful man who dominated the continent hundreds of years ago. Its value is naturally self-evident."

When the words "Earth Rank Intermediate" came out of the old man's mouth, even the strong men in the VIP box couldn't help but cast their concerned glances.

They felt both curious and a little regretful.

Because, among them, there is no one who uses a ruler as a weapon.

In the private room where Xiao Ling and the others were, everyone gathered around on comfortable sofas, savoring the exquisite snacks and fresh fruits provided by the Black Emperor Sect and chatting leisurely. Meanwhile, Yao Chen and Yao Tianhuo also revealed their spirit forms, observing each item on display at the auction with great interest.

This was also the first time that Medusa saw the souls of Yao Chen and Yao Tianhuo. At first, she was indeed a little surprised. She didn't expect that Xiao Ling and the others were accompanied by the souls of two Dou Zun-level powerhouses. Zi Yan had not told her about this before.

However, after everyone explained, Medusa quickly accepted this fact and understood why Xiao Ling had said that before. As long as they arrived in Zhongzhou, they would have a powerful force as their backing.

In Medusa's opinion, although Xiao Ling is young, he can achieve such success. In addition to his own talent and opportunities, he must also be able to rely on the help of these two former Dou Zun-level masters. This also explains why Xiao Ling can achieve such a high level of cultivation at such a young age.

Xiao Ling's eyes fell on the scroll of the Earth-rank intermediate fighting skill "Six-in-one Wandering Body Ruler" displayed on the stage. He turned to Yao Chen and said with a smile: "Old Yao, are you interested in this "Six-in-one Wandering Body Ruler"? This fighting skill seems to suit your style."

Xiao Ling's words were not without purpose. Although Yao Chen was an alchemist and needed delicate techniques, when it came to fighting, besides his Bone Spirit Cold Fire, the powerful Xuanzhong Ruler was the only thing he could use.

Yao Chen stroked his beard, smiled and waved his hand, saying: "Haha, that's not necessary. I already have enough fighting skills, but the little guy named Xiao Yan might be very interested in this "Six Harmonies Wandering Body Ruler."

Xiao Ling felt that Yao Chen's words made sense. Although Xiao Yan did not get Yao Chen's Xuanzhong Ruler, he still chose a ruler of good quality as his weapon, and his "Flame Dividing Waves Ruler" had become his trump card. If this "Six Harmonies Wandering Ruler" could fall into Xiao Yan's hands, it would undoubtedly make him even more powerful.

……

Under the eager gazes of the crowd, the old man carefully took the red scroll off the silver plate with both hands, then held it high up and showed it to everyone in the auction hall with a smile on his face. His voice echoed in the venue: "This tape measure fighting skill is called "Six Harmonies Wandering Body Ruler". It was created by the Six Harmonies Venerable who was feared across the continent hundreds of years ago."

“This ruler technique is his signature fighting skill, and it is extremely powerful. The only drawback is that it is a little unpopular. Unless you are someone who has studied it for a long time, it may be difficult to master it.” The old man added.

Venerable, this title only belongs to the strong ones at the Dou Zun level, and it itself represents a kind of legend and power.

When hearing this title, there was a burst of exclamations in the auction hall. Just like the celebrity effect, the value of anything that has something to do with this level will rise accordingly.
