Then Lu Kun thought of something again and said: "By the way, senior brother, this VIP order was given by Xu Ming of Abyss Pavilion. Then will he find out through the auction house that we have no actual bidding items?"
Zhu Xiaofeng smiled and said: "Junior brother, don't worry. During the time when you went back to pick up Junior Brother Qin and the others, I have already investigated this place."
"The rules of this Abyss Auction House are very strict. The immortal cultivators who work there have already sworn a spiritual oath and will never disclose the bidder's information to the outside world."
"After all, the immortal cultivators here are a mixed bag. If their identity can be revealed to the outside world, there will be scenes of murder and treasure grabbing being staged near Abyss Island, and there will be immortal cultivators coming here."
"The Abyss Elders Council is very clear. The biggest enemy here is the monster beast in the deep sea area. Although humans have laid out this sea area quite well, the monster beast may come back at any time."
Lu Kun breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It seems that fellow Taoist Xu Ming from the Abyss Pavilion is quite good at life, and this VIP order is what he gives back to us."
Zhu Xiaofeng smiled and said: "We also handled the residence rights for ten people at once, rented five caves within the third ring road for a hundred years, and together with the shops to be rented, this is more than half a million spiritual stones."
"Even our master uncle of the Yueyang Sect only has this amount of spiritual stones. In addition, he has spent a lot of money on the demon order in his heart. Of course, he must curry favor with us, or at least not offend us."
"The auction seems to have started."
Lu Kun noticed the situation in the hall below from the corner of his eye, and then he and Zhu Xiaofeng looked through the transparent magic circle in the box window towards the hall on the first floor.
At this time, a proud-looking woman wearing a fiery red robe appeared on the auction stage in the hall on the first floor. She exuded the aura of Foundation-Building Dzogchen.
"Hey, isn't this Huo Mei Niang?"
Zhu Xiaofeng said doubtfully: "Junior brother, do you know this fellow Taoist?"
"Well, this is the core disciple of the Tianfu Sect. According to the information I found before, she should enter the Demon Island. I briefly fought with her. She has a fire-attribute pseudo-magic weapon and many intermediate talismans on her body.
It’s quite tricky.”
Zhu Xiaofeng nodded and continued to look down.
I saw Huo Mei Niang bowing to the audience and saying: "Huo Mei Niang of Xiatian Fumen has been appointed as the host of this auction this time. I hope all fellow Taoists can win the items you like."
"Haha, it turns out to be the Fire Fairy among the Water and Fire Immortals of Tianfu Sect. I have long admired her name!"
"The Taoist fellow from Tianfu Sect is in charge, so we can rest assured!"
"The Fire Fairy is here. Are there many fine talismans for auction?"
Huo Mei Niang smiled slightly, clapped her hands and said: "The first item in this auction is various intermediate and top-level talismans. Whether it is for self-defense or attacking the enemy, all Taoist friends will use it."
Then several mortal women walked onto the stage with small steps, holding a tray in their hands with various intermediate and top-level talismans placed on it.
Under Huo MeiNiang's arrangement, every talisman was sold at a very high price.
Lu Kun looked at the hot bidding scene below from the box on the second floor and said to Zhu Xiaofeng: "The Tianfu Sect is much richer than our Yueyang Sect today. These top-grade talismans are consumables."
"The demand is greater than the supply. For every talisman, the Tianfu Sect has made multiple profits."
"Yes, but it also takes a lot of time for them to refine the talismans. Although they have abundant resources, they can only rank at the bottom of the ten sects."
Zhu Xiaofeng suddenly glanced at the surrounding boxes and said: "Junior brother, it is said that only foundation-building monks will participate in this auction, so it is very likely that disciples from the ten sects will come, and these people all have VIP orders."
"It's a pity that the magic circle here is too powerful, and Xiao Jin's magical power can't penetrate it."
In the following time, Lu Kun and the others looked at the various magic weapons, elixirs, and materials that appeared below, but their hearts did not waver.
Although the Yueyang Sect has been destroyed, Zhu Xiaofeng has seen many treasures in the sect. After all, immortal cultivators with some financial resources in Wei State will bring various treasures with them in exchange for the magical weapons refined by the Yueyang Sect.
Lu Kun entered the Yueyang Sect relatively late, but he has killed dozens of foundation-building monks since he established the foundation, and he also has a lot of various materials and pills in his storage bag.
As for the top-level intermediate talismans, he used them more. As for the magic weapons that appeared here, Lu Kun looked down upon them as he was about to refine fake magic weapons.
Soon, the auction gradually came to an end. Lu Kun and the others were in the same box on the second floor. Except for a few people who bought some talisman materials, there was no movement, making it impossible for Lu Kun to determine which sect of immortal cultivators they were.
Suddenly, the hall on the first floor instantly became quiet, because all the immortal cultivators saw what was on Huo Mei Niang's tray, which were three black tokens engraved with the word "demon".
Huo Mei Niang chuckled and said: "Many fellow Taoists came here for the Demon Token. This time you are very lucky. There are three in total in this auction."
"The bidding for the first Demon Token begins now. The base price is 150,000 spirit stones. Each increase in price must not be less than 10,000 spirit stones."
As soon as Huo Mei Niang finished speaking, a monk shouted from below.
"One hundred and sixty thousand spiritual stones!"
"I'll pay 180,000!"
"One hundred and ninety thousand!"
At the same time, the box on the second floor also started bidding, and a slightly hoarse voice said: "Two hundred and fifty thousand spiritual stones!"
This old-sounding male cultivator suddenly gained 60,000 spiritual stones!
Soon, there were monks below who increased the price. This demon order was their hope for forming a pill. The faces of several Foundation-Building Dzogchen monks turned red and they increased the price step by step.
"Two hundred and sixty thousand!"
"Two hundred and eighty thousand!"
"I want this demon order, 400,000 spirit stones!" Just as many immortal cultivators were slowly increasing their prices, a somewhat aggressive-sounding voice came from a private room on the second floor.
The price of these 400,000 spirit stones immediately silenced the entire audience. Lu Kun looked a little strange. This woman's voice seemed familiar to him.
When Huo Mei Niang on the first floor heard the bid, her face looked a little strange, but she still said:
"This fairy bids 400,000 spiritual stones!"
"Four hundred thousand once!"
"Four hundred thousand twice!"
Huo Mei Niang deeply forgot to glance at a certain box on the second floor and said: "Four hundred thousand three times! Deal!"
"Don't be disappointed if you didn't win the auction. There are two more coins to come, and the second one will be auctioned next!"
Lu Kun recalled the woman's voice just now, and suddenly remembered who she was.
"That woman is the Water Fairy from the Tianfu Sect! I didn't expect that her spot in the sect was taken away by Huo Mei Niang, and she actually came out to bid for one. The Talisman Master is really worth a lot!"
Zhu Xiaofeng asked strangely: "Junior brother, have you ever seen that water fairy?"
Lu Kun told Zhu Xiaofeng what happened that day, and Zhu Xiaofeng said: "This Water Fairy, according to Junior Brother's description, the best magic weapon on her body was sold to her by Junior Brother, so she is even more powerful than this Fire Lady."
It's much weaker, and it might be a bit dangerous if you enter Demon Island."
"Water Fairy has nothing to do with us, but now everyone knows that the first demon order was purchased by a woman. Judging from Huo Mei Niang's expression, she must have recognized her junior sister."
"Don't worry, there are two more."
Next, Zhu Xiaofeng and Lu Kun were like passers-by, watching the increasingly fierce competition. The last two demon tokens were sold for 380,000 and 420,000 respectively.
Strangely enough, one of the two pieces was won by a female cultivator through bidding, and only the one that sold for 420,000 spirit stones was won by a man with a deep voice on the second floor.
Lu Kun sighed with emotion: "I didn't expect that the Demon Token could be sold for such a high price. The three of them together cost more than one million spiritual stones."
Zhu Xiaofeng chuckled and said: "That's fine, we can make some use of the high price of 420,000 spirit stones!"
