Chapter 1433

"Oh, so it's like that!" Xiao Hua slightly nodded.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, let's also go. However, since … according to I's previous experience, everyone except those who didn't conceal their identity will appear alone in the auction.

I … I'm afraid I can't travel with Fellow Daoist Xiao! "Cai Zhuoxia hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Okay, then we'll do as Fellow Daoist Cai said!"

Xiao Hua nodded. He knew that Cai Zhuoxia had some top-grade spirit stones in her storage pouch. Presumably, she wanted to bid for some things in this auction and bring them back to Luyang's Cai Clan.

These were all cultivators' privacy, so Xiao Hua naturally knew to avoid them.

Soon after, the two slowly followed the cultivators who came in from behind and entered the darkness. Xiao Hua slowly walked and put on the camouflage cloth. He stopped at the side for a moment before walking out of the darkness.

At this moment, several cultivators scattered around Xiao Hua followed him out. Apart from a Foundation Establishment old man who didn't conceal his cultivation and identity, the others were all wearing different camouflage cloth. Xiao Hua didn't know which one was Cai Zhuoxia, or perhaps Cai Zhuoxia had already come out.

In front of Xiao Hua was a rather large hall. A dozen or so boys wearing the same clothes stood in different places with smiles on their faces. In the hall, there were several jade tables with some flowering spirit herbs and some spirit fruits. Many cultivators were scattered around the hall. Some were whispering, some were standing alone, looking at the ink and brushes hanging on the walls of the hall. There were even some who were holding spirit fruits or tea in their hands and lightly tasting them.

In the four corners of the hall, there were four stairs that led straight to the second floor.

Xiao Hua walked into the hall and met a boy in the second layer of Qi Refining. The boy had a clean face and red lips, looking very cute.

The boy cupped his hands and smiled. "Welcome, Senior, to my auction. There are still some hours before the auction starts. Senior can rest in the hall for a while, or you can go to the second floor first. Today's auction will be held on the second floor."

Xiao Hua slightly nodded and said, "I'll go to the second floor!"

"Senior, this way please."

The boy raised his hand and invited Xiao Hua to go to the nearest stairs. He said, "If Senior has something to bid for in the auction, now is the right time. On the second floor, my auction house has a Senior Martial Brother to receive Senior!"

"Okay ~" Xiao Hua said and walked in the direction the boy pointed. The cultivator who was walking beside Xiao Hua didn't talk to the boy. At this moment, Xiao Hua walked in front of him. Xiao Hua followed that cultivator to go to the second floor.

The second floor was different from the first floor. There was a slightly larger platform in the middle, floating high in the air. The entire second floor was divided into two parts by the platform. On the side where Xiao Hua was, there were a lot of chairs, all facing the platform. At this time, there were already some cultivators sitting on the chairs. On the other side of the platform, there were some small room like lattices. Each lattice looked empty, but there was some empty brilliance that blocked Xiao Hua's gaze outside.

The cultivator in front of Xiao Hua went to the second floor and walked straight to a row of young cultivators. These young cultivators were about sixteen or seventeen years old and their cultivations were all in the fourth or fifth layer of Qi Refining. They wore clothes similar to the boy downstairs. They should be the Senior Martial Brother of the boy downstairs.

"Senior, do you have something to bid for?" Seeing the cultivator approaching, a Yanyuan City disciple cupped his hands and asked.

"Yes." The cultivator nodded and replied.

"Senior, please come this way!" When the Yanyuan City disciple heard this, he raised his hand and invited the cultivator to a nearby entrance.

Seeing the cultivator and the Yanyuan City disciple enter the entrance, Xiao Hua rubbed his chin and thought for a moment. But after thinking about it, he couldn't bear to part with any of the items in the Space. Without hesitation, he picked up a chair in the corner of the hall and quietly sat down.

Xiao Hua closed his eyes and did not speak. After about the time it took to finish a meal, the sound of footsteps gradually rang out around him. The chairs around him were all occupied. In the entire hall, other than the sound of footsteps and the welcoming words of the Yanyuan City disciples, everything else was quiet and there was no noise at all.

"Pop, pop, pop." A burst of crisp sounds, as if some bamboos were being squashed, followed by a burst of ethereal music that echoed throughout the hall.

Xiao Hua knew that the auction had begun. When he opened his eyes, he saw that in the center of the stage, a milky white brilliance was gradually emitting from the tall platform. It was like a layer of clouds that slowly rolled upwards. When it covered the entire top of the stage, it suddenly dissipated in all directions along with the resounding music. When the milky white brilliance dissipated, a thin and tall old man wearing a Daoist robe appeared on the stage!

The old man's cultivation was roughly at the early stage of the late stage. His face was thin and his long beard was a bit white. His two eyebrows drooped down from the corners of his eyes and seemed to be much longer than an ordinary person's. The green daoist robe on his body was indescribably fitting.

The old man's figure appeared on the high platform. He immediately smiled at the people below the stage and the independent seats across from Xiao Hua. He clasped his hands and said, "I'm An Cheng Mo. I'm the ruler of today's auction. Welcome, fellow cultivators, to my Treasure Auction Pavilion to participate in the auction!"

At this moment, the music had already faded. The entire hall became even quieter. Only the old man's voice echoed in the hall.

"As you all know, the Auction of the Treasure Auction Pavilion is held every month. Thank you for your generosity in sending your treasures to the Treasure Auction Pavilion. This time, there will be many treasures that you have never thought of appearing in the Auction Pavilion!"

"Of course, before the auction begins, on behalf of my Treasure Auction Pavilion, I would like to thank the Utopia Faction, the Qiqiao Sect, and the Xunyan School … I would like to thank everyone for coming!"

An Chengmo mentioned the names of many sects and families. At the beginning, he slightly tilted his body. It was obvious that he was speaking to the individual seats. At the end, he spoke to Xiao Hua and the other ordinary cultivators.

"Fellow cultivator An, let's start quickly. I can't wait any longer!"

A loud voice came from Xiao Hua's side. This voice was very abrupt in the hall. Xiao Hua turned his head and saw a fat cultivator sitting there lazily. He didn't hide his cultivation level.

"Ha, ha, ha, Fellow Cultivator Zhang … you are really impatient. Every time, you are the first to win!

I just don't know … will you be able to get what you want today? "

An Cheng Mo didn't seem to be angry. He clapped his hands, and a beautiful woman appeared on the stage with a jade plate in her hands. The jade plate in the woman's hands was covered with a layer of silk, and no one could see what was on it.

The woman walked in front of An Chengmo. The jade plate floated in the air. She took a few steps back and stood still.

"Alright," said An Chengmo with a smile. "Thanks to Fellow Daoist Zhang's urging, I'm going to take out the first item for this auction!" He waved his hand, causing the silk cloth to fly up into the air, revealing the item on the jade plate.

There was a fist-sized stone in the jade plate. Under the moonlight in the hall, it was faintly transparent. It looked very strange.

An Chengmo picked up the stone and spun it a few times under the moonlight. He smiled and said, "This is the Spacial Stone. It is an extremely rare material for refining tools. It is said that when refining tools, the Spacial Stone can reduce the weight of the tool. It is as light as a feather!"

"As for whether or not it has any other uses, I can't say. I'm sure that all the tool refiners here have their own opinions!"

"Well, a fellow cultivator asked us to bid for this item. The starting price is ten mid-grade spirit stones!"

An Chengmo finished speaking and looked at the fat cultivator. "Fellow Cultivator Zhang, this is a material for refining tools. I'm sure you won't be interested in it!"

"It's not that I'm not interested in it, Fellow Daoist An. It's just that … the materials used to refine tools usually cost three to five mid-grade spirit stones. This Spacetime Stone is so much more expensive … I'm still reluctant to part with a mid-grade spirit stone!" Zhang Daoist said with a smile.

"Hahaha ~" When the others heard this, they all laughed. The atmosphere in the hall became very lively.

"Since this is the first item of the auction, I will bid ten mid-grade spirit stones!" A cultivator on Xiao Hua's left raised his hand and shouted. He didn't hide his identity.

"Good, as expected of a fellow cultivator who knows his stuff!" An Chengmo praised and asked, "Is there anyone else who wants to bid?

One mid-grade spirit stone each time! "

An Cheng Mo's words fell, but no one responded. Xiao Hua had bought so many pills the day before yesterday, but he had only spent thirty or so mid-grade spirit stones. These things were only used for refining tools, who would want to buy them?

In the end, even after An Chengmo shouted twice, no one answered. Just as An Chengmo was about to say, "Since no one wants to bid, then …"

A low voice sounded, "I bid eleven mid-grade spirit stones!"

An Chengmo looked up and saw a cultivator in a camouflage robe raise his hand.

"Alright, this Fellow Daoist has a discerning eye. He has offered eleven mid-grade spirit stones. Is there anyone willing to offer a higher price?

That fellow cultivator just now … doesn't he want to bid another mid-grade spirit stone? "

The cultivator waved his hand and said, "Fellow Cultivator An, I was just throwing a brick to attract more jade. Since a jade has been thrown out, I'd better get out of here!"

"Hahaha …" Another round of laughter …

An Chengmo was very satisfied. Although the Spacial Stone hadn't been auctioned many times, the atmosphere of the auction had been stirred up. It would be very beneficial for the auction later.

"Good, if no one else wants to bid, this Spacial Stone is yours!"

The hall fell silent …

"Pa!" An Chengmo clapped his hands and shouted, "Congratulations, fellow cultivator, this Spacial Stone is yours!"

After he said that, the woman standing next to him walked up and held the jade plate in her hand. This cultivator was none other than Xiao Hua, who was participating in the auction for the first time.
