1This was also within Zhong Ming's expectations. With Zhong Ming's experience, every item that he took out was rare, especially the pills that Zhong Ming refined, which had the best quality.2
Who was Zhong Ming? With his talent, let alone a Jade Cauldron Pill, he could even take out a single pill which would be considered the top existence in the world. However, Zhong Ming did not take out the best one, because he did not want to reveal his identity, as a top tier alchemist like Pharmacist would not dare to reveal his identity without the ability to protect himself. Not to mention the treasures in his hands, even his status would allow the large clans to think of all sorts of ways to keep him alive.
After the female cultivator said that, she gave a wooden plate on the table to Zhong Ming and stressed again, "There's a base price for this. See if you can be satisfied, if you're not satisfied, object to us, we can negotiate. However, these two items will also give Fellow Daoists a higher profit at the auction, and at that time, Fellow Daoists will definitely be very satisfied."
Zhong Ming grabbed the wooden token, looked at it carefully, then nodded and said: "The starting price you guys offered still fits my criteria, but I believe that it definitely won't be traded at this price. The pill I took out is a Jade Cauldron Pill, but the materials and herbs for this pill are very hard to collect, and it's not that easy to make it, I hope he can get a reasonable price."
"Jade Cauldron Pill? If it is a good name, we will bid according to the name that Fellow Daoists gave us. We will store the wooden plate well, and when the Auction ends, we will use this wooden board to collect the Spirit Stone that you have obtained. " The female cultivator lectured with Zhong Ming.
"Thank you for the reminder. If there are no other questions, I will go to the main hall and wait for news." Zhong Ming kept the wooden plate, bid farewell to the three of them, and prepared to leave. This time, Zhong Ming did not take out too many things from his Auction, for fear of attracting other people's attention, and the two items that he took out were more than enough to attract their attention.
"Our Auction will take good care of this matter. Fellow Daoists can go directly to the main hall to wait." The matter was settled, they added, to reassure the client.
Thus, Zhong Ming turned around and walked over, and the light screen that was blocking the door opened up a crack as he walked in. It seemed like there were a few evaluators who were there to control the light screen, and when Zhong Ming walked out of the room, the light screen on the door closed up once again. After Zhong Ming walked out of the room, he did not show any abnormalities as he slowly walked towards the exit. At this moment, more and more people were queuing up here.
When Zhong Ming came to the hall again, it could be said to be filled with a sea of people. However, the people coming and going in the tunnel were busy going back and forth.
Although there were a lot of people here, the layout was still quite reasonable. There were actually three levels here, each of them occupying a floor's height. No one knew what material was used to refine it, but it was milky white everywhere, making it seem even more bright and spacious.
However, Zhong Ming discovered that the lower and middle level tables and chairs were all made of common materials, and like the hotel lobby, it was smooth without any obstructions. In any case, the upper level was different, densely packed with rooms of different sizes, and these rooms were all decorated with Defensive Formation s.
Zhong Ming didn't have any intention of going up. Even though he had a lot of Spirit Stone, he didn't want to waste money on them. He just walked to a remote corner and sat down, waiting for the auction to start.
It was so crowded that even the luxurious rooms upstairs were continuously filled with cultivators. Here, all the cultivators that were strong enough to enter were fixed at the Void Refinement Stage or above, but this time, the timing of the Auction was very special, and for those who had reached the Spirit Transformation Stage or above, they weren't too demanding either. As long as they were willing to give up their Spirit Stone, they could enter the first floor's hall to watch the Auction.
Because in order to boost the morale of the cultivators in the entire city, they had to face even more cultivators this time. Even these low leveled cultivators had the right to enter this large scale Auction, and a stream of people rushed in after receiving the news, causing the originally empty hall to become extremely crowded.
Zhong Ming found that on the third floor, there were six or seven late stage Void Transformation Stage cultivators, and that Elder Gu Yue, Kun Feng and the others were also there, as well as a few elders from various clans that he had met before. Other than them, there were also a few dozen early stage Void Transformation Stage cultivators, but Zhong Ming didn't find the female owner of the liquor store, Zhong Ming, so he didn't know if she had already entered the luxurious room earlier or not, and still disdained participating in the Auction.
This continent was truly a powerful tribe, but it was much more powerful than the Sky Dragon Continent. This was merely a medium-sized city, yet there were so many Void Transformation Stage cultivators, and in Zhong Ming's dictionary, even if the Sky Dragon Continent was combined with the top cultivators of the demi-humans, it was still not even one tenth of their total.
Zhong Ming stayed there for an hour, then the door outside started to slowly close after the sound of bells ringing. It seemed like it was finally time for the Auction.
Surrounding the table were a few golem puppets. Although they didn't make any movements, Zhong Ming could feel the baleful aura from them as these puppet puppets had extremely high cultivation techniques and their auras were not inferior to his. Zhong Ming was even willing to pay the price, to use such high level puppets to guard this place.
When the door closed, a figure appeared in the center of the stage. Only then did Zhong Ming realize that there was a small sized Teleportation Formation in a hidden place, and that was where this person was sent from.
He was dressed in a long white robe, leisurely walking onto the stage like a scholar who had read a lot of poetry. From the outside, it was impossible to tell which race he belonged to, and he didn't have any characteristics. If he wasn't on the Cloud Thunder Continent, where these pagans lived, Zhong Ming would have really thought that he was a cultivator of a certain race.
And as the male cultivator walked towards the auction stage, he was unexpectedly a mid to late stage Void Transformation Stage cultivator. From his aura, one could feel a spiritual pressure slowly emitting from his body.
This spiritual pressure carried a baleful aura and was in stark contrast to the cultivator before them. Those who did not know him would not believe that a person with such a strong killing intent would be a dangerous character.
When the man appeared, everyone in the hall immediately quietened down. Most people knew this person, but Zhong Ming could clearly feel that these people were afraid of the man on the stage.
"I believe a lot of people recognize me here, my name is Kong Jingtian, so I won't waste any time on the introductions, I won't waste any time, the Auction that all the large clans are organising this time is one of them, so everyone unanimously recommended me to be their host, many people must have participated, and everyone should be very clear about the rules here, so I won't go into too many details. The value of the items that appeared in our Auction is much higher than in the past years, because the price of the items here far surpasses the original value of the treasures, and the value of our treasures can be suppressed much higher than the pellets." This cultivator called Kong Jingtian casually said as he stood on the stage.
Although his voice was not particularly loud, everyone in the hall could hear him clearly using the Spiritual Energy s. From his words, it could be seen that he was not a procrastinating person, and the treasures he spoke of made them look forward to it.
