Di Wu Huo stood on the stage with a bewitching expression, further stoking the audiences desire to spend lavishly. Their eyes remained fixed on the ten items being brought onto the stage, and cheers soon erupted throughout the crowd.

Even those seated in the private rooms couldnt contain their excitent. They hastily rose from their seats and rushed to their screens to watch the proceedings.

Di Wu Huo gracefully glided to the centre of the ten items, and with a wave of her hand, she removed the curtain covering them, unveiling the items that exuded a potent aura.

Thats the lower Barren-grade White Shrine Dao Fruit! Consuming it can enhance ones understanding of the Intent Realm and potentially aid in the awakening of an Abhij!

Look at the Qi Sky Thunder Sword! Its a lower Barren-grade spiritual equipnt with the thunder attribute!

The Snow Dragons Descent talisman, the Catastrophe array, and even the Loss spiritual array! So many incredible items, and all in the lower Barren grade!

The crowd beca increasingly animated, with intermittent cheers punctuating the air. Almost everyone was contemplating whether to make a bid for these items, but in reality, most of them couldnt afford such extravagances.

Di Wu Huo stood on the stage with a slight upturn of her lips, observing the millions of people in the audience displaying intense and covetous eyes. She clapped her hands together and announced, Let us comnce the bidding with the first item, the Divine Protection Light Armor, a lower Sky grade spiritual equipnt designed to safeguard its user in battle!

She playfully fluttered her eyelids while channelling her spiritual power into the Divine Protection Light Armor, causing its brilliance and aura to surge in all directions.

The crowds attention was imdiately captivated, and even those with weaker cultivations began to contemplate whether to purchase this item to ensure their safety.

The bidding starts at ten spiritual crystals! The minimum incrent must be more than a hundred thousand spiritual stones. The bidding begins now! Di Wu Huos voice was crystal clear, reminiscent of wind chis.

Murong Lin sat calmly, occasionally glancing at Xiao Dong. He remained in his seat, observing the proceedings.

anwhile, Shi Ji Mi and Sun Qiao Long, who sat beside him, watched with envy as individuals in the crowd confidently raised the price.

I bid eleven spiritual crystals! Declared a pale man floating in the air. His frail appearance gave the impression of physical weakness.

I bid twelve spiritual crystals! I am the crown prince of Tianlang, and I kindly request that you all show so respect! Declared a robust man with a round face.

Those interested in acquiring the Divine Protection Light Armor were undoubtedly individuals who feared for their lives, but they were also unquestionably wealthy and powerful.

While Tianlang was considered a sizable nation, the crown prince who was a re Cognizance realm cultivator was clearly looked down upon in this place.

A snarky voice retorted, Who are you to ask for our respect?

The crowd turned to the source of the voice, including the crown prince of Tianlang, who bristled with anger. However, his expression quickly shifted to one of embarrassnt as he hesitated to respond.

The speaker bore an icy countenance, a burly man with an exceptionally smooth and fair appearance that gave him the air of a figure carved from ice. He was none other than Yue Long Teng, a practitioner of the ice Abhij and a formidable Abhij realm cultivator.

Standing proudly in a private room with his arms crossed, he gazed at Di Wu Huo on the stage, briefly suppressing a flicker of desire in his eyes. He then announced, Ill bid fifteen spiritual crystals!

He had instantly raised the price by three spiritual crystals, equivalent to three million spiritual stones, sending shockwaves through the crowd. They gaped at him in amazent.

Wow! His Highness Yue is incredibly bold! He raised the price by 25% imdiately!

Hehe, its quite clear, isnt it? Yue Long Teng is obviously taken with Di Wu Guo!

A beauty and a herowhat a match made in heaven!

Amused or astonished expressions flickered across the faces of the spectators as they exchanged comnts.

Ultimately, the Divine Protection Light Armor was acquired by Yue Long Teng for sixteen spiritual crystals.

The second item then took centre stage, a lower Barren-grade White Shrine Dao Fruit, which held strong appeal for most Abhij realm cultivators. The crowd drove the price higher once more, and it was eventually sold to a formidable Abhij realm cultivator who wore a mask, evidently concealing his appearance and aura.

The spectators resud their discussions, noting the substantial number of Abhij realm cultivators present.

Typically, the Great Nanyue Wan Guo Tournant would have fewer than ten Abhij realm prodigies, even including those in the top ten rankings. However, this ti, the known Abhij realm cultivators had already surpassed ten, and when considering those who hid their identities, there might be as many as thirty Abhij realm cultivators participating in the competition.

Murong Lin casually observed the man who had acquired the White Shrine Dao Fruit but remained largely indifferent.

Most of the items presented on stage held little interest for him. While so items could enhance his strength, most of them required an extended period of use to show their efficacy. Anything that could provide a significant short-term boost in power had already been purchased by the influential forces long before the auction.

Murong Lins sharp observation extended to Xiao Dong, who displayed a clear and intense interest in one of the items on the auction stage.

Oh, really? In that case, I absolutely must not let you have it!

Even though Xiao Dong didnt draw too much attention to himself, Murong Lins Lifelessness Law allowed him to comprehend most aspects of human behaviour.

At this mont, Xiao Dong had yet to make a move, and he didnt mind letting Xiao Dong take the initiative.

The auction proceeded, with Di Wu Huo presenting an item that resembled a crystal. She introduced it to the crowd, saying, This is the sixth item up for bidding, the lower Barren-grade Black Lion Essense Rock!

Im sure you all understand the purpose of this itemit greatly enhances the toughness of ones flesh, making it an excellent choice for increasing personal safety.

Xiao Dong leapt up in excitent, taking Luo Miao Miao by surprise as she nestled in his embrace. Sending an apologetic glance her way, Xiao Dong thought to himself, Black Lion Essense Rock? Its clearly the Black Lion King Essense Pill, and its even a higher Barren-grade item!

His eyes reddened as he fixated his gaze on the Black Lion Essense Rock displayed on the stage. Through his Devournnt ability, he had already sensed sothing amiss with this item. While he didnt think too deeply about it at first, he now believed it was an exceptional opportunity.

Xiao Dong rubbed his hands together and eagerly grabbed his ring of holding as he eagerly waited for Di Wu Huo to start the bidding.

Murong Lin, observing Xiao Dongs peculiar behaviour, found it rather amusing.

However, he also noticed the keen interest in the item from several individuals in the crowd.

Despite their lack of knowledge about its true value, their desire for it remained strong. After all, cultivators who specialized in enhancing their physical bodies were relatively rare.

Di Wu Huo initiated the bidding, announcing, Well begin the bidding at ten spiritual crystals! The minimum incrent must be no less than one million spiritual stones each ti. Bidding starts now!

Covering her mouth with her hand and her eyes twinkling, Di Wu Huo exuded a mysterious and graceful aura, further captivating the audience.

Ill bid eleven spiritual crystals! cried a physical arts cultivator, his excitent clearly visible.

However, wealth was not in short supply in this world. The price quickly escalated, causing him to slump back into his seat with a pallid complexion. Even Abhij realm cultivators raised their hands to bid, and voices from the private rooms floating above added to the clamour.

At that mont, Xiao Dong made his move.

Twenty spiritual crystals! he shouted.

He had never been short of money, and since leaving his hotown, he had used his Devournnt ability to steal nurous fortuitous encounters. After all, this ability alone allowed him to dominate the stone betting arena. Coupled with the profits he had made from sweeping through Heaven Martial City in recent days, even after losing several items to Murong Lin, he was still able to make a significant profit.

Twenty spiritual crystals were equivalent to roughly two ordinary lower Barren-grade spiritual items.
