"Can you find out from where that girl Zhong Xiu has invited such an expert charm magician?" the beautiful woman asked after a little consideration .
"This subordinate has sent people to investigate, but there has been no result yet," the green-dressed young woman replied .
The beautiful woman's brows creased, and she shot a discontented look at her .
The green-dressed woman's body abruptly became stiff, and she lowered her head in response .
"Continue your investigation, and notify me the moment you have the results," the beautiful woman commanded .
"Yes," the green-dressed woman complied . Then, she drew back, and stood to the side of the green-dressed man .
"Humph! So, you intend to regain the popularity with the help of some high-ranked magic charms . This attempt of yours is nothing but a delusion . " The beautiful woman sneered .
She turned around after a while, and walked outside .
. . .
The auction venue on the first floor of the Welcoming the Immortals Pavilion…
The venue was originally divided into two separate meeting places . But, the partition wall that stood in the middle of both venues had been removed this time . In addition, the layout of the venue had been slightly modified so that it could accommodate thousands of people at a time .
However, there still existed a big disparity between this venue and the one on the third floor… whether it was in terms of the layout or the scope … But, this scope could still be regarded as more than enough for some warm-up events before the large-scale auction that was scheduled to be held at the end of the month .
All seats of this venue were fully occupied at the moment . Therefore, some people were standing to one side . They were talking and discussing with great enthusiasm . Most of the faces in the venue were smeared with a hint of excitement as well as anticipation .
In addition, there were some people in groups of three or four who occupied a certain area of the venue . Their facial expression looked calm, and they had a composed bearing . However, they seemed somewhat inharmonious with the clamorous environment of the surrounding .
"Red Snake Tribe, Blazing Tiger Tribe, Multifarious Gem Pavilion, Blue Dome Association . . . "
Zhong Xiu and Shi Mu stood in a room above the auction hall . And, the window of that room was providing them with a panoramic view of the crowd below . Zhong Xiu's gaze wandered somewhere in the crowd, and then she spoke out their names one by one .
"These influential people don't stand in the same league as the Mystical Eagle Tribe and the Black Spirit Association . But, they are also regarded as medium-sized forces in the neighboring regions . " Zhong Xiu said with excitement .
"I think you can boost up your strength significantly if you can draw these forces to your side," Shi Mu added .
"Perhaps, all of them have shown up here for the high-ranked magic charm . Big Brother Shi, we may think of bringing out some high-ranked magic charms as a bargaining chip today . But, I'm afraid that a large quantity of them will be required to continue this trend if we do so . You . . . " Zhong Xiu looked at Shi Mu with a worried look on her face .
"Miss Xiu, you don't have to worry about this . The process of drawing a magic charm is in itself a process of practicing a magic art . Besides, I've already drawn a lot over the past month or so . So, you can toss out a few of them at regular intervals by the end of the month to attract the attention of these people . This would also make them assured about the guaranteed supply of magic charms at the final auction," Shi Mu said .
"Many thanks, Big Brother Shi . " Zhong Xiu said .
. . .
A purple-robed middle-aged man stood on the platform at the moment . He was tall, and his hands looked bright-red in color… It seemed that the red color of his hands was due to some kind of cultivation art that he would practice .
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Welcoming the Immortals Pavilion's Auction . This humble man is Gu Li . I can see many new faces here today . I'll say a few words before starting the auction as per the convention . This Welcoming the Immortals Pavilion will conduct altogether five small-scale auctions before the final auction which will be conducted at the end of the month . These small auctions will be organized to warm-up our distinguished guests who have come from afar . This is the third auction . I, hereby sincerely invite you to honor us with your gracious presence at the final auction on behalf of the Welcoming the Immortals Pavilion . We have myriads of exotic and rare things to offer at the scheduled time . I believe that we won't disappoint you that day," the purple-robed man raised his voice to say .
The droning sound of people's discussion subsided a lot as soon as this announcement was made . Simultaneously, everyone directed their gaze towards the middle .
"Well then, let's get started without further ado . " The purple-robed middle-aged man beckoned with his hand, and several yellow-shirted men walked up to him with a wooden box .
There was a metallic ore in that box which was sparkling and radiating cold light like a snow . It was one-foot in size, and was exuding a very intense invisible aura of the gold .
"This is a piece of high-ranked Golden Iron . The degree of its purity is very high . It can substantially enhance the power of the spirit tool pills if it is added in the process of its refinement . The starting price of this product is five thousand spirit stones . And, each subsequent bid must be higher than the previous bid by at least one hundred spirit stones," the purple-robed man said .
This high-ranked Golden Iron wasn't regarded as a very rare or unusual stuff . But, such a big piece was sufficient enough to enhance an ordinary spirit tool to a higher grade . Someone immediately called out his bid . Then, the bid price started to rise gradually . It was finally captured by a Xian Tian advanced-stage warrior who made the highest bid of 9,500 spirit stones .
A hint of exultation flashed through the purple-robed man's eyes since the high-ranked Golden Iron had been sold at a fairly good price . It could be treated as a good sign for them .
He waved his hand, and someone again walked up with another auction item . It was a large white egg that was almost half the size of a human .
"This is the beast egg of a red-eyed golden eagle — a Xian Tian-ranked bird-class demon beast . All you need to do is to use some offering sacrifice methods to make this beast recognize its master once this egg hatches . Then, you can have a red-eyed golden eagle as your spirit pet . I would also like to share with you that we are going to offer demon pills and other materials of a red-eyed golden eagle at the final auction which will be held at the end of the month," the purple-robed man said in a loud voice .
A Xian Tian-ranked demon beast's egg was presented before the people . But, it could only set off a small tide in the auction hall in response .
To have a flying-class demon beast as a spirit pet was indeed very useful . However, it wasn't only because of their combat power . The more important point was that it could carry a person while flying once it was fully grown . It could be said that these beasts were equivalent to a not-so-low-ranked flying magic tool . Furthermore, having this flying beast at one's disposal could make one's adventure trips very convenient . Hence, many powerful people who hadn't made any bid before joined in and started to vie for this egg .
However, the genuinely big influences present in the auction hall still remained motionless . It seemed that they had absolutely no interest in the red-eyed golden eagle's egg .
The purple-robed middle-aged man noticed these people's facial expression, and understood the situation inwardly . He had eventually realized that it was the previous announcement about the high-ranked magic charms that had drawn these people to this pavilion .
Another two auction items were offered in the following time . But then, the purple-robed middle-aged man noticed that those influential people seemed to be losing their patience now . So, he made a gesture behind him .
