The Sun was just starting to rise, shedding down faint yellow light that brightened this seven-floored building.
It was the famous Auction of a Thousand Treasures at Central Terrain.
Out of the entire world, it was considered a top-notch auction with extremely wealthy treasures. Therefore, the host of this auction has never lacked customers.
Today, in particular, they were getting so many customers it was considered a headache. It was extremely rowdy.
It was all because of the list of treasures the auction is supposed to have. The auction that melts everyone's hearts will start today.
However, despite the mountain of people who gathered at the entrance, not everyone has the right to enter. Most of the people here came hoping to get in due to the mess.
Those who are allowed in are people with invitations. These people, without exception, were phoenixes out of groups of humans. None of them were simple characters.
Therefore, those people have invitations.
Ling Xian had an invitation as well, but it was not an invitation for him. It was for the dead dumb@ss whose name remained unknown.
Luckily, there was no imprint on the invitation for each unique individual. The auction host probably felt like everyone who was invited is important and there is no way any of them would get killed.
Basically, after Ling Xian whipped out the invitation, he was invited into a VIP room on the fifth floor.
There were two more levels above him – likely for even more important people.
"They sure are rich. The tables and chairs are made out of wood that is worth billions of dollars."
Looking at the glamorous decors and lavish guest rooms, Ling Xian smiled faintly and sat down with Huang Jiu Ge.
Then, he asked the waitress who was dressed sexily to pour him and Huang Jiu Ge each a cup of tea.
At once, the aromatic smell expanded, refreshing everyone's mood.
Ling Xian sipped his tea as he looked at the list from the table and began studying it.
The list from the invitation was merely half of the items in the auction. This was the complete list.
After he looked it over, the anticipation in his eyes grew dense. He couldn't help but exclaim, "This place sure is famous for a reason."
"It looks like you are going to return with a bag of stuff today."
Huang Jiu Ge smiled brightly. Though she sat by Ling Xian, she acted so reservedly, she was like a servant.
"Nobody here today is simple. It's hard to say."
Ling Xian brandished his hand. Though he was wealthy, everyone here was considered a VIP. Plus, he had one intention for coming here, and that is for the Lock of Eternity.
Of course, if he encounters an item he really wants, he will take it for himself.
"Then I will wait patiently."
Ling Xian smiled and closed his eyes. He then waited.
Time passed by little by little.
After about half an hour, the auction finally began.
As the auction host stepped onto the stage and revealed the first treasure, every invitee broke out into excitement.
It was a ninth-ranked Dan, named the Dan of Life Extension. It can add 100 years to anyone's lifespan. To any cultivator, it was a rare treasure.
Therefore, the atmosphere was explosive. Within 10 seconds, the price of it was up to 10,000,000 spiritual stones.
However, Ling Xian didn't even bat an eye. He continued to rest.
He was now of the original level and had 500 years of lifespan. He didn't need to worry about his lifespan. Therefore, he wasn't interested.
It was just that not everyone is as talented as he was. To those who need the time to get to places for cultivation, lifespan is the most important thing.
Therefore, people kept on hyping up the price. In the end, the item landed into a middle-aged man's hand with the price of 15,000,000 spiritual stones.
Then, the second item generated another round of auction. The third item and the fourth also all ignited much passion from people.
What could they do? All of these items were rare items. Even those with high statuses would waver before them.
However, Ling Xian's eyes never opened.
Though these items were great, they weren't enough to attract his attention. This was why his eyes remained closed and he remained at ease.
Only when the 34th item, the Plate of Escape appeared, did his eyes open and he became interested in it.
This item has no offensive nor defensive abilities, but it is a rare treasure.
Just like its name suggests, its use is to point out an escape route for the user. When one finds oneself in a trap, or when exploring an ancient ruin, this item can become extremely useful and help the user find a route out.
To those who enjoy digging ruins, this was a dream treasure.
This is why Ling Xian is so interested in it.
He wasn't the only one. Everyone else was also intrigued by this. Many people's eyes were heated. Everyone there goes exploring sometime. Everyone wants this treasure to help them out during a critical and unpredictable time.
"The use of the Plate of Escape is well known by everyone. So I won't explain too much."
The auctioneer began to announce loudly, "The only thing I have to clarify is that this item is not something that can be bought with spiritual stones. We are only accepting other items in exchange for this item."
After those words, someone started the auction. The first thing he said silenced the entire place.
"One Stone of the Blue Ocean!"
Everyone silenced at this. The Stone of the Blue Ocean is a heavenly treasure with an insane price.
People didn't expect the price to be so high right off the bat.
After just moments of silence, someone else had topped the price and the crowd fell into a heated fight.
"Two Stones of the Dragon's Eye!"
"Three Stones of Blue Ocean!"
"Five Jade of Crystal Ice!"
People continued to throw out new bets. The atmosphere turned heated.
This was all because the Plate of Escape was a rare treasure that is hard to find. Its price alone is not as high as the other heavenly materials, but its value lies in its rarity.
If they miss it today, there will not be other opportunities in the future.
Therefore, everyone continued to add to the price. After some time, the price of it had raised to as high as seven Jade of Crystal Ice.
To know that the Jade of Crystal Jade is an extremely valuable material. A little piece of it can help dial up the quality ranking of a treasure. It was priced around 10,000,000 spiritual stones.
In other words, the Plate of Escape is now as expensive as 70,000,000!
At this rate, the voices calling out prices have lessened by a lot. The price has increased little by little and was no longer increasing at a fleeting speed.
In the end, a man in an expensive robe called out 10 Jade of Crystal Ice and the place silenced.
First of all, this price has surpassed most people's financial abilities. Second of all, this price has far exceeded the actual worth of the Plate of Escape.
However, this treasure was extremely difficult to find and rare and cannot be judged based on its organic worth.
However, 10 jade is an astronomical price and nobody was willing to top it.
"Haha, nobody else is willing to top it?"
The man in an expensive robe laughed out loud, "if that's the case, then I am going to take the Plate of Escape."
Then, he couldn't help but be ecstatic and proud.
After all, he had beaten a crowd of people. Though this was purely financial.
Just as he began to look as proud as ever, the place silenced. Because Ling Xian, who was in the fifth floor's VIP room, finally spoke out.
The moment he spoke, the man in the expensive robe was stunned and everyone else was as well.
"I am willing to pay… 11 Jade of Crystal Ice."
