The bid sparked off a tumultuous situation in the auction hall the moment it was made from that private room .
The bid price of sixty or seventy thousand spirit stones for ten high-ranked magic charms already seemed as an absolute high price . Not to mention the bid of 100,000 spirit stones that wasn't a high price, but was a sky-high price .
It didn't matter how rare a high-ranked magic charm was or how hard it was to buy it… the only thing that mattered to everyone was that it was a disposable thing that could be used only once . It was said that the Western continent was blessed with the plentiful amount of resources . However, 100,000 spirit stones weren't considered a small sum of money even on this continent . In fact, it was more than enough amount to buy a spirit tool of good quality .
As expected, the surrounding people didn't make any sound after this bid price was announced . Even the other private rooms remained silent in response .
Gu Li inwardly brimmed with excitement as he witnessed this situation . The first item for auction ended up pulling such a high bid price – this was definitely regarded as a grand opening for this pavilion .
"The next treasure is a low-ranked spirit tool, Silver Arc Cold Spear!" Gu Li beckoned with his hand, and a few people carried a long thing over to the stage . It was covered with a red cloth .
Gu Li then uncovered the red cloth, and a ten-feet-long silver spear came before everyone's eyes . A silver ray of light was moving on the surface of the spear . This signified that it was apparently a very nimble and resourceful spirit tool .
The spearhead was bent like a serpent's body, and its pointed tip was suffused with a little red light . It was giving off a dense malignant aura like a serpent's .
In fact, the whole silver spear looked like a silver python lying on its back . And, it seemed as if it might swoop over and injure people at any time .
In the room on the first floor of the pavilion… Shi Mu's eyes gleamed as he saw this spear .
This silver spear was the same spear he had grabbed from the hands of the Earth-ranked Elder of the Transcending Heaven Immortal Cult in those days . But, it now looked different to some extent . In fact, it appeared as if its spiritual energy had made a big progress . It rather seemed that the Welcoming the Immortals Pavilion would have sent people to do something about this thing after it was handed over to Zhong Xiu .
"The quality of this treasure is exceptionally good . And, its attacking power is extraordinary . . . " Gu Li was pretty good at delivering a powerful speech . He just needed a few words to bring into the light how rare and unusual this spear was .
There were some people in the crowd who didn't own any spirit tool . Those people immediately started to make bids for that spear, and the spear got sold at a high price in no time .
A string of valuable things was offered for the auction in the following time - like a stream of water . Those things included all kinds of magic tools, pills, materials, and other precious items . In addition, a few batches of high-ranked magic charms were also sold every now and then .
However, these batches of magic charms couldn't get auctioned at the sky-high price of 100,000 spirit stones like before . But, they were still able to draw high bids due to the influence of the previous bid .
The atmosphere of the venue gradually heated up . The honored guests in the private rooms continued to win bids from time to time . The first half of the auction soon came to an end like this .
In a certain room on the first floor… Zhong Xiu held a white jade board in her hands, and a line of small characters appeared on it . It was the final bid price of all items that were sold in the first half of the auction .
"How is the result of the first half?" Shi Mu asked .
"It's almost 1 . 08 million . This is 20% higher than our anticipation . " Zhong Xiu said .
Shi Mu nodded . All valuables things had been put on hold for the following time . Still, the first half could fetch this score; it was itself a pretty good result .
Suddenly, a little green light emerged on Zhong Xiu's waist . She saw that and her complexion changed . She then put down the jade board, and took out a green bead from her waist . And, her face got smeared with a tensed expression in response .
"What's this?" Shi Mu asked .
"I sent a spy to the Jade Spirit Pavilion's auction . The first half of their auction has also ended . That spy has sent the transaction amount of their auction," Zhong Xiu said . Then, she took a deep breath, and pointed the bead that was in her hand .
The bead flashed in response and projected a green light screen . The light screen contained the list of items along with its transaction amount .
The total of all transaction amounts was mentioned at the bottom of the light screen .
It was 1 . 395 million spirit stones!
Zhong Xiu's complexion turned deathly white . The business transaction of the Welcoming the Immortals Pavilion was nearly 30% behind the Jade Spirit Pavilion's in the first half .
Shi Mu's brows slightly wrinkled, and then quickly unfolded again .
"There is no need to worry about this . " He held Zhong Xiu's hand and said in a gentle manner .
"But . . . " Zhong Xiu said .
"Miss Xiu, it's all right . Look at the list of items on it . It clearly shows that the Jade Spirit Pavilion has auctioned myriads of good things in the first half . So, it's not like we'll surely fail to catch up with them in the second half . " Shi Mu said .
Zhong Xiu took a deep breath and nodded in a reluctant manner .
. . .
The Jade Spirit Pavilion .
The beautiful woman held a jade token in her hand, and a layer of light emerged on it . A list could also be seen on the surface of the light screen . It illustrated the situation of the Welcoming the Immortals Pavilion .
"Their transaction amount is less than 1 . 1 million in the first half . " A contemptuous smile spread on the beautiful woman's face and she received the jade token .
"We have received information from the informer we have sent there . According to him… there are still many high-ranked magic charms that will be offered in the second half of the auction there . And, the situation of their first half's transaction is ample enough to determine that these magic charms can alone earn a lot of spirit stones for them . " The green-dressed young married woman stood beside her . She said in a careful manner .
"Humph! I naturally know that the other things in their list of items aren't worth worrying about… except for their final product — the star stone . Moreover, it's also not like we won't offer any valuable items in the second half of our auction . Keep a close eye on the situation of the Welcoming the Immortal Pavilion . And report me right away if there is any important news . " The beautiful woman said .
. . .
The Welcoming the Immortals Pavilion… the second half of the auction started soon after a short break .
The first item for auction was a section of green wood that was almost as big as the height of a person . The annual rings were clearly visible on top of it . The wood was exuding circles of green rays of light . The surrounding people could feel the strong wood-attribute spiritual energy that the wood contained even though there was a big distance between them and the wood .
"Everyone, this treasure is rumored to be a rare King Spirit Wood . It is hard to come by even in hundreds of years . This pavilion has spent a great deal of energy to get hold of this wood . It is regarded as an exceptionally good material for making wood-attribute spirit tools . The initial price starts from 30,000 spirit stones . " Gu Li said .
A fervent look gushed into the eyes of surrounding people in response .
