Above all spirits

Chapter 161 Clues

Next, at this auction.

Mental cultivation methods, techniques, soul arts, spiritual treasures, elixirs, and so on emerged in endless succession.

None of them were ordinary.

But it's not the kind of rare treasure that would make all the big shots envious.

After all, the people attending this auction are of an extraordinary caliber, and their horizons will naturally be broadened accordingly.

For Werner, apart from the Soul-Nourishing Wood at the beginning, which might have some interest, everything else was just another word.

Over!

"Oh dear, I really shouldn't have too high expectations for the lower realm. If I had known this would happen, I would have bought that piece of Soul-Nourishing Wood."

"You might be useful in the future."

Gu Yun shook his head.

"Forget it, it's already been carved into a wooden zither, so let's not ruin other people's craftsmanship. I can't play it anyway."

"Look, this is only the first half, so it's probably all for the mid-to-lower-tier teams."

"Things will probably be better in the second half."

Compared to Werner's disappointment, Xiao Li was in a better position.

After all, the needs are different.

Shang Wenqing had previously promised them that each of them would bid on one item within their means.

Xiao Li decisively acquired a mother-and-child protective amulet, worth four hundred star coins.

The sub-talisman can withstand a full-force attack from a peak Saint Body. Moreover, once triggered, it will automatically activate a one-time array hidden within the talisman, teleporting it to the location of the main talisman.

Of course, the distance is limited. Once the maximum distance is exceeded, it will automatically land at the location closest to the mother symbol within the range.

The mother talisman can also charge the child talisman three times.

It will be automatically destroyed after three uses.

Upon receiving the talisman, Xiao Li couldn't wait to hang the child talisman on himself, and naturally handed the mother talisman to Gu Yun.

Gu Yun was both amused and exasperated.

At the time, I also asked him if he could still sense it after putting it in his spatial ring.

After all, pendants aren't very convenient during combat.

Even the crystal rabbit necklace that he originally intended to give to Yunyin, which he used to carry close to his body, is now quietly lying in the spatial ring that his cheap master gave him.

If it were accidentally lost somewhere, or even in the void, it would probably never be found again.

Xiao Li's reply was naturally, "How could an item that I appraised be bad? Brother, even if you don't believe me, you should believe the great system. How could it not have considered this?"

Another item was a space jade bracelet that I bought for Bai Qing'er. It wasn't expensive, only eighty star coins.

The key feature is that it can be resized, making it suitable for Bai Qing'er to carry. If it were just for storage, it would be ridiculously expensive, as the internal space is not very large.

There's no scaling function; twenty stars are the maximum.

It was originally supposed to be a mother-and-child amulet for Bai Qing'er.

However, Xiao Li claimed that its protective and teleportation functions were not limited to an individual, but rather to a small area. He suggested giving him one, and that he could personally protect Bai Qing'er when the time came.

This earned him a few eye rolls from the crowd.

Everyone knows this much.

But it's not surprising.

As for Su Xiaoqian and Ji Ning...

The two of them weren't particularly interested in the cultivation techniques and spiritual treasures from the first half of the competition, since they were already well-off and had no shortage of such things.

The items for the second half of the event are probably too expensive, so I'd be too embarrassed to ask Shang Wenqing for them.

So he accepted the offer and cheerfully declined.

After all, it was the first half of the auction.

Apart from the natural Horcrux that sparked some controversy and doubt at the beginning, there were no other items that could ignite the atmosphere of the entire auction.

Those who bid.

Most of the customers were also sitting on the first floor.

The truly powerful and wealthy individuals in the private rooms on the second and third floors rarely make a move.

Although the private rooms are purchased randomly.

But it didn't say that it couldn't be resold afterwards.

Even without pre-sale registration, wealthy and powerful people can still get a seat in a private room.

The lights in these private rooms are still on.

There were only a handful of private rooms with the lights off and dimly lit.

They must know some inside information; the big shots are all waiting for the second half of the auction.

After all, even if there are big shots like Gu Yun who are just here to join in the fun and relax, there probably aren't many.

"Okay, thank you all for coming!"

"The first half of the auction has come to an end. Let's take a short break!"

"Please don't leave, everyone! The second half of the auction will feature even rarer and more exciting items!"

As the host spoke, he cheerfully waved to the backstage area.

The next moment.

A variety of beautiful women dressed in maid outfits slowly walked into the booth and stood in a row.

Some women even boldly show off their enviable figures to the public.

"There will naturally be some entertainment items up for auction during the halftime break."

"Don't worry, everyone. These girls have all signed contracts with our auction house voluntarily for various reasons. Some of them have even reached the level of a powerful body. Whether it's taking care of chores or serving daily needs, they are all excellent choices."

"During the break, we will conduct the auctions one by one. In order to save time, we will adopt a sealed auction mode, with the highest bidder winning the bid."

"You will be notified when the time comes that you have successfully bid. You can choose to pick it up on the spot or have it delivered to your designated location by our staff."

"Those who are interested can take pictures for fun, and those who aren't can just watch for entertainment."

The male host smiled slightly, bowed deeply to the audience, and then retreated backstage.

The women seemed to have rehearsed beforehand, lining up in an orderly fashion and taking turns standing on the auction platform.

When the green light comes on, it means that someone in the room has successfully photographed the woman.

All of these women wore expressions of joy.

Keep in mind that their starting bid is fifty star coins, and any force that can afford to spend that much on such matters is no ordinary power. If I perform well in the future, I might be able to rise through the ranks.

When the red light is on, it means no one is coming and the business is returning to the background.

The women's faces were naturally stiff, and their expressions of disappointment were evident.

"Tch, they're just a bunch of low-class women trying to climb the social ladder and turn themselves into phoenixes."

"Seeing that big shots were gathering at the auction, they couldn't hold back any longer."

"Most of these people don't have a good ending."

Ji Ning had lived in Lanyu City before, so she had seen this kind of thing many times.

Xiao Li noticed that he was staring intently at one of the women on the exhibition stand who was queuing up to go up to the auction stage.

quipped.

"Hey Xiao, which girl have you taken a fancy to?"

"Brother, I'll take care of it for you!"

In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on Xiao Li.

But to Ji Ning's surprise, Xiao Li did not blush or panic as usual.

His expression, however, was rather serious.

Xiao Li pointed blankly at the woman he had been watching, then looked up and met Gu Yun's somewhat puzzled eyes, and said.

"Brother, that woman is from the fairy race in the fairy realm, but she is a mixed-race."
