(Thank you to 2D Yixiao Book Friends for your reward and support! Thank you, brother!
I don’t know why I’ve been stuck recently! I don’t have any inspiration in my mind and I go to work all the time. I fall asleep when I get home and I can’t code normally at all!
Maybe there is something wrong with the plot that makes me unable to progress the story at all!)
Chihai City is close to the mainland and is a small border town between the Jiaochi Clan and the Haiwang Clan.
Because of the alliance between the two super clans, the Jiaochi Clan and the Sea King Clan, the land and sea bordering the two clans are relatively peaceful.
In fact, the Jiaochi Clan and the Sea King Clan are already super-large clans in the spiritual world. Many large and small ethnic groups around them will not easily provoke them. On the contrary, there are countless small and medium-sized races that are attached to the two clans.
According to the rumors of the two clans, the strength of just one Jiao Chi clan is equivalent to the combined strength of several super clans in Fengyuan Continent!
Even with the full size of the human and demon tribes, they would have to become a third-class race in the territory of the Hornchi Tribe and the Sea King Tribe, with people from the two tribes as the main ones!
There are countless small border towns like Chihai City in the surrounding area controlled by the two big clans. The city lord is either a Jiaochi clan member or a Sea King clan garrison. The other small clans treat each other as guests under the wings of the two big clans.
The survival of small tribes is relatively easy. As long as they develop business competition appropriately, they will bring continuous resource feedback to the tribe.
The Bengbu tribe is a small third- and fourth-rate tribe. They own a Bukou Haiyuan tribe land that is equivalent to the size of the Tianyuan realm of the human race.
There are tens of billions of clam people living among them. They rely on the clam pearls' unique supernatural powers and are highly respected by various small and medium-sized tribes in the Black Chi Sea. Even the magical powers of some clam pearls are valued by two large clans.
Every few years, the chambers of commerce of various ethnic groups in Chihai City often take turns holding auctions. This year's auction was held by the Huanlan Pavilion of the Beng people.
Among the dozens of chambers of commerce of small and medium-sized races in Chihai City, Huanlan Pavilion is considered to be a fairly high-level auction house among all races.
…
The largest auction hall in Huanlan Pavilion was filled with high-level monks of various races.
Li Xiu sat in the exclusive private room of the Beng clan elders and looked at the main hall below. Elder Qu Yue beside him introduced Li Xiu to the leaders of each clan in the main hall below one by one.
"That is fellow Taoist Fan Yu from the Grouper tribe! The Grouper tribe is good at alchemy, and Fellow Taoist Fan Yu is a high-level alchemy master in Chihai City!" Elder Qu Yue pointed to an old man with blue spots on his face in the audience and introduced.
Li Xiu observed carefully and saw that the old man in the audience had reached the middle stage of Void Refining and was wearing a fur coat that looked quite noble. From time to time, foreigners from the sixth and seventh levels of the upper clan came forward to pay respects.
Elder Qu Yue once again pointed to several foreigners in the realm of refining the void to introduce their identities to Li Xiu. Due to the spying restriction, the private room where Li Xiu was located could see the entire hall, but the situation in the private room could not be sensed from outside.
"That is Fellow Daoist Longli of the Red Snapper Clan, and he is also a master who is good at refining weapons! The Lingbao Xuanbo Blade in this pavilion is a treasure refined by Master Longli!"
"Oh?" Li Xiu looked at the alien race that Elder Qu Yue was referring to.
A big man in black robes and short beard in the main hall below couldn't tell how this man resembled the master of weapon refining!
"There are also fellow Taoist Duobao from Quyan Pavilion and fellow Taoist He Hao from the Sharp Fin Tribe..."
…
Elder Qu Yue introduced Li Xiu to the elders of various clans present at the Lianxu level one by one. The auction was currently in progress.
The jade platform array in the middle was shining brightly, and pieces of deity-level auction items were transported to the jade platform array, and then appeared on the seats and tables in the main hall below.
The person who presided over the auction was a clam girl from the sixth level of the upper clan. She was tall and beautiful, and the clam shell on her back had already transformed into her body.
Most of the treasures in this auction are God Transformation level treasures, and only the three treasures at the end can reach the Void Refining level.
Therefore, the few Lianxu-level superiors have been waiting for the final treasure, and most of the bidders are foreigners of the fifth and sixth levels of the superiors.
"The twenty-second lot is an imitation of the Heavenly Spiritual Treasure: Xuanyan Ax!
This treasure is quite limited in its techniques, and it requires fire-attributed mana to be able to control it freely!
If the upper clans on the mainland use this treasure, its power will be no less powerful than flying swords and flying knives.
It's a pity that if you use the Xuanyan Ax in the sea, not only the attributes of the skill will be limited, but also the power of the Xuanyan Ax will be limited in the sea!
But even with all the disadvantages in the sea, the Xuanyan Ax is still a sharp weapon and a treasure for killing!
The starting price for the Xuan Yan Ax is 1.5 million!"
After the woman introduced her, people in the audience started bidding.
"One million and a half million!"
"One million six hundred thousand!"
"One million seven hundred thousand!"
"One million and eight hundred thousand!"
…
After several rounds of bidding, this Xuan Yan Ax was bought by a fifth-level one-horned alien from the upper clan.
"The next lot is a bottle of Sunflower Pill! This elixir is a fifth-level mana-boosting elixir for the upper clan. It can increase the upper clan's fifth-level and sixth-level mana. It also has a certain effect on the sixth-level bottleneck!"
Li Xiu knew the medicinal power of Kui Xing Dan, which was equivalent to the medicine taken in the middle stage of transformation to the later stage of spiritual transformation.
The effect of this elixir is very similar to that of real toad liquid, and the main ingredient is a special sea anemone that is more than two thousand years old! After hearing the introduction, Li Xiu also looked at you a few more times with interest.
"The starting price for a bottle of Sunflower Pill is 800,000 spirit stones!"
As the woman finished speaking, the sounds of bidding started one after another.
"Nine hundred thousand!"
"One million!"
"One million and three hundred thousand!"
"One and a half million!"
"Two million!"
…
The bidding got higher and higher, and when it reached 8.7 million, only a few wealthy foreigners were left bidding.
In the end, this bottle of Sunflower Pill was bought by an old man of the sixth level from the upper clan.
…
After the twenty-three lots, there was the auction of Li Xiu's ten wind trains, which Li Xiu had been looking forward to for a long time.
At this time, Elder Qu Yue walked out of the private room and went directly to the auction stage. After asking the Beng host to step down, Elder Qu Yue's gentle voice sounded in the Huanlan Pavilion auction hall.
"Next, I will host the auction of the final lot!"
Elder Qu Yue clapped his hands gently, and a shrewd and gorgeous long clam shell inlaid with several gems appeared on the teleportation jade platform beside her.
"This is the Magic Sealing Bead that was refined by Elder Cheng of our clan before his death!
The Fenghuan Pearl is obtained by refining clam beads using secret techniques that are not passed down by this clan. I don’t want to mention its function, but all fellow Taoists also know it!
This bead can preserve all the mana of the fifth level of the upper clan, or 60% of the mana of a seventh-level Taoist friend from the upper clan, and seal it to refine a phantom of mana!
After swallowing and refining, it will not have any impact on the body's magic power, but it can provide an additional means of saving life when life is at stake!
Having this magical sealing orb is equivalent to carrying 70% of your mana with you.
As long as he gets this bead and injects mana in advance, when his mana is restored, he will have an extra self with 70% mana!"
Elder Qu Yue looked at the reactions of the people in the hall below. As expected, several foreigners of the sixth level and above from the upper clan were watching, hesitating whether to take a picture of this treasure.
Li Xiu stared at the long clam shell, the clam beads inside shimmered, and there were a lot of pearls dotting the shell around it.
This bead can only be vomited out by people of the Beng tribe who are above the Void Refining level before sitting down and refining it.
"The starting price of the Seal Magic Pearl is 16 million spirit stones, and each increase in price must not be less than 1 million!"
