Facing cultivators like Lin Mo who were at the peak of their integration stage, they sat firmly in separate residences on the third floor and rested quietly.
Lin Mo observed attentively, and after confirming that there were no unusual events that caught his attention at the moment, he closed his eyes without hesitation and entered deep meditation to adjust his mental state.
Young Master Hai and Qi Lingzi stood carefully behind him and did not say another word.
As time passed silently, the noisy sighs coming from below gradually faded away, and the entire huge luxurious palace instantly fell into suffocating silence.
Lin Mo was keenly aware of this strangeness, so he opened his eyes again and looked down through the window.
At this moment, two extremely unique-looking figures appeared on the high platform. They stood side by side, as if they were waiting for an important moment to arrive.
A tall man stood two feet high, his whole body shrouded in dazzling black light, his form ethereal and uncertain.
He looks like a strong man with a full beard, but his true appearance is always difficult to see clearly.
The other man's figure was even more burly, even surpassing that of the previous strong man with a curly beard.
There is a burning red horn on the top of its head, its eyes exude a deep green luster, and glowing scale-like objects can be vaguely seen on both sides of its face.
This person is a demon warrior who has cultivated to a certain level. Lin Mo stared at the two extraordinary people in front of him, his eyes slightly contracted, but after a while, they returned to normal.
At this moment, in the darkness in the center of the stage, the bright and sturdy man suddenly spoke:
"Most of the colleagues here must already know the identities of myself and fellow Taoist Lihuo disciples around me, so there is no need for us to introduce ourselves too much."
"Here, on behalf of the two of us, I would like to solemnly announce that the first round of auctions at this Wanbao Conference will be officially launched."
This man with a huge body and free and easy black brilliance is the famous Xuanwu Overlord in the Flame Empire.
And the strong man from the demon clan who is respectfully called "Lihuo" is undoubtedly the leader among the seven royal clans - Lihuo Dragon.
The opening ceremony of this unprecedented auction event was actually hosted by these two unreachable powerhouses, which naturally surprised all the practitioners present.
However, when these two powerful men stepped down from their lofty thrones, an old man in white robes and with silver hair slowly walked onto the stage.
Following behind him were two maids, each holding a tray filled with strips of golden silk, wrapping the mysterious things covered in them layer by layer.
"My name is Tianyanzi, and I am honored to be the host of this auction event. I sincerely ask all friends present to give you your strong support and warm applause!"
The old man in white robe bowed deeply to the entire hall and said with a smile.
Immediately afterwards, there was thunderous applause and cheers from below:
"Hahaha, with Master Tianyanzi presiding over this auction event, we will naturally feel more at ease."
"It's very true, especially for those of us practitioners who travel between the two races, Senior Tianyanzi's insight and unique vision are known to everyone!"
…
As soon as the old man finished speaking, he attracted enthusiastic responses from many monks.
Obviously, the reputation and influence of this Tianyanzi, who has reached the middle stage of refining the void, cannot be underestimated.
The old man in white robe still smiled, nodded respectfully to everyone around him, and then said directly:
"Dear friends, you came here specially for this auction, and you probably don't want to waste your time listening to me talk more unnecessary nonsense."
"Then, let's get down to business! My servants, please present the first exhibit."
Before Tian Yanzi finished speaking, he immediately waved behind him.
A young man at the front took a few steps forward cautiously, raised his hands above his head, and respectfully handed the tray in his hand to the old man.
The old man in white robe gently raised his arm, picked it up with his fingertips, and easily lifted the golden satin from the tray.
Suddenly, a crystal emitting dazzling silver light appeared in everyone's sight.
This crystal is only the size of a fist, but its surface is engraved with layers of natural and exquisite lines.
The lines contain bursts of dazzling silver light, like countless silver threads being injected into the crystal, which is extremely beautiful.
"Hey, this top-grade weapon-refining material called 'Silver Silk Crystal' is an indispensable raw material for refining metallic magic weapons."
"This kind of silver filament crystal only grows in the Baibi Canyon in the far east of the human race. Sometimes the output in a year is not even enough to obtain half of this crystal. This shows that its rarity is extraordinary."
"Just adding a small amount of this substance to an ordinary flying sword will make the sword sharper, far more powerful than a treasure of the same quality."
"If you can devote yourself to using this material to refine weapons, then it is not impossible to become a spiritual treasure."
"So, the base price of this treasure is three million spirit stones, and the minimum price increase cannot be less than one hundred thousand. The bidding has officially begun!"
Tianyanzi gave everyone a brief description of the items displayed on the plate in detail, and then loudly announced that the bidding had begun.
They are not only rare materials for refining demon clan armor, but also necessary items for refining other kinds of magic weapons.
However, after several rounds of fierce snatching, most of the monks in the hall showed signs of astonishment.
A total of seven or eight items were successfully bid by the black-haired demon tribesmen who appeared for the first time at eye-popping high prices.
It seems that for this person, only obtaining the materials required for refining these weapons is the most important thing, no matter how much spiritual stones he has to pay, he will not hesitate to show off an extremely arrogant demeanor.
This mysterious black-haired demon tribesman wears a tawny mist-like leather robe, except for his exposed arms.
The whole body was tightly wrapped, and one could only vaguely see its ferocious and strange face, but could not see it very clearly.
Obviously, this leather robe can only block powerful beings of the God Transformation and Void Refining levels.
For Lin Mo, a practitioner whose strength has reached the integration stage, it only takes a little effort to forcefully penetrate the covering power of the leather robe.
"It's actually a black wolf demon! His cultivation has only reached the early stage of Void Refining. Why is he so generous? Could it be that he comes from a prominent family in the wolf clan?"
Lin Mo's eyes flashed with blue light. After examining the black-haired demon tribesman, he frowned and whispered to himself.
Although Qi Lingzi and Young Master Hai heard clearly from behind, they could not understand the reason, so they could only stand quietly, not daring to interrupt easily.
At this moment, a strange piece of silk cloth that emitted a blazing red light and was woven like flames was once again presented on the stage by a child.
The audience at the scene was instantly plunged into a commotion!
"Jingyan silk is actually a piece of cloth woven from Jingyan silk."
“Unbelievable!”
“Absolutely luxurious!”
Many monks stared at the red silk cloth with shocked faces, and some even did not conceal their inner greed, wishing they could rush forward and pocket the item immediately.
"Master, what exactly is this crystal flame silk? Why are everyone present so eager to see it?"
When Hai Dashan saw the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but asked curiously.
"No wonder you are unfamiliar with this thing! This Crystal Flame Silk is not produced by my human race, but is a precious spiritual material unique to the Black Phoenix Clan."
"Legend has it that it originates from a kind of flame bug that lives deep in the lava, and the spiritual threads it spits out are crystal flame threads."
"However, this kind of bug can only spit out one crystal filament in its lifetime, and it is only found in a certain lava area controlled by the Black Phoenix Clan, so its value is more than the previous silver filament crystal."
"If the fire attribute magic weapon refined with these substances can be worn on the body of a cultivator with the same attribute for a long time, it can invisibly improve part of the cultivation progress."
"And treasures made from crystal flame silk can also significantly enhance the power of fire-attribute magical powers."
"Of the practitioners present, there must be many who major in or also practice fire-attribute techniques. In this way, such a large number of crystal flame threads will naturally make their blood boil."
Lin Mo answered with a smile, which also cleared up the doubts.
"That's it! According to this, it is reasonable for these people to pursue it so passionately."
Qi Lingzi also smiled happily.
Tianyan Zun has announced the starting price of Jingyan Silk, and what follows is an even more exciting wave of offers. This level of enthusiasm far exceeds any previous competition.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the price of Jing Yan Silk has nearly doubled, which is an astronomical figure.
However, as prices climbed crazily, the originally fiery bidding gradually cooled down.
In the end, only five or six practitioners remained on the battlefield, including the mysterious black-haired demon tribesman.
The final transaction result did not surprise people. This astronomical figure was indeed paid by the Black Wolf Demon Clan member himself.
In this way, he undoubtedly attracted more attention from everyone. Many practitioners of both races present frequently cast complex glances, which were naturally full of suspicion and vigilance.
However, at this moment, the old man in white robe announced unexpected news directly to everyone on the stage.
It attracts everyone's attention instantly.
"Fellow Taoists, many of you here must have participated in the first auction of the Wanbao Conference more than once, so you should be familiar with the fact that the auction process of this auction is different from other auctions."
"Normally, not all the finale items will be saved for auction at the end, but several finale items will be presented in the early, middle and late stages of the auction."
"Right now, what I am about to show is one of them. I firmly believe that it will be able to meet the expectations of the vast majority of Taoist friends and seniors."
As soon as the old man finished speaking, he gently tapped his palms twice.
Immediately afterwards, a young maid with a smile suddenly walked out from under the stage. She held an emerald green wooden box about half a foot high in her hand, and walked lightly to Tian Yanzi.
The old man in white robe looked solemn at this moment, carefully took the wooden box from the maid's hand, and then faced the audience and spoke slowly again:
"Although some fellow Taoists may have heard the name of the Weeping Spirit Blood Wood, there are probably only a few who have actually witnessed such a spiritual object with their own eyes."
"The object hidden in this box is a small section of the Weeping Spirit Blood Wood. This spiritual object has a wide range of uses and can be used as an auxiliary material for performing a variety of great magical powers."
"It can also be directly used to refine the second incarnation and the tribulation puppet. It is also the main raw material for the famous treasure - the Weeping Blood Spirit Pearl. I hereby solemnly declare." The old man said solemnly.
After hearing the information mentioned by Tian Yanzi, most of the people present showed doubts, but only a few people who heard it showed excitement.
"The Weeping Blood Spirit Wood, isn't this the treasure that the Spirit Clan regards as a sacred object?"
"Why would such a precious thing appear at an auction between our two races?"
Some practitioners who knew something about this object couldn't help but exclaimed loudly in the audience.
Lin Mo also frowned involuntarily, and at the same time keenly felt the many fluctuations of consciousness transmitted from the small room on the third floor.
It clearly shows that many powerful people in the integration stage have a strong interest in the Weeping Blood Spirit Wood.
"I really know very little about the origin of this Blood-cutting Wood. But I can assure you fellow Taoists that this Weeping Spirit-Blooded Wood is absolutely authentic and reliable and has no false elements."
After the old man finished speaking, he opened the lid of the box.
In an instant, the bloody aura in the box gushes out like a tide, turning into a dense mass of blood mist flying around in the air, like a giant bloody python.
Tian Yanzi took a deep breath of air, her eyes flashed with golden light, and then she stretched out her five fingers and grabbed the box suddenly.
In the blink of an eye, a strange tree half a foot long, about the size of a thumb in diameter, with black and red lines all over its body appeared in front of everyone.
This wood is dim in color, but it constantly emits wisps of blood mist. These blood mist are intertwined with each other, churning endlessly, rushing straight into the sky, as if it is alive.
"Transform into a calamity puppet!" Lin Mo stared at this magical thing, his eyes gradually narrowed into a thin line.
He had heard something about the Weeping Spirit Blood Wood. It was actually the remains of a certain type of mutated wood-attributed Spirit Tribe people. It was indeed a rare sight among the Spirit Tribe.
As for the second incarnation and the prestigious reputation of the "Blood Weeping Pearl", although he was yearning for it, what really made his heart beat was undoubtedly the mysterious Tribulation Puppet.
Although he himself also possesses a spirit-transforming talisman that can replace disasters, as his cultivation becomes more and more sophisticated, the effectiveness of the spirit-transforming talisman pales in comparison. Even if it is carefully cultivated, the magical powers it can trigger to replace disasters are extremely limited.
However, this calamity puppet has become a famous and rare treasure in the long history of the human race. It can even play a huge role in overcoming disasters and resisting disasters for practitioners in the integration stage.
However, the Tribulation Puppet is actually a one-time consumption item. When using it, the caster needs to grasp the opportunity to drive it. Whether it is in advance or delayed, it may lead to waste of this item.
