Following Li Huang's words, a young girl with a big tray in her hand that was covered by a red cloth walked up the platform.
When the young girl lifted the red cloth, the item on the tray appeared before the eyes of everyone.
It was grey Armour.
Li Huang's charming voice rang out, "This grey armor was made completely out of wind copper. It was from a famous craftsman, and its defense is shocking. It is a high-tier common armor."
"This grey armor is our first item this time. The minimum price is set as five thousand silver coins. Each bid must be at least one thousand silver coins greater than the last."
"Let the bidding start!"
"Six thousand!"
"Seven thousand!"
"10,000!"
"10,300!"
Countless bidders immediately leaped into action, but the auction has just begun, so everyone was still very reserved.
Mei Yue could only shake his head, "This grey armor would be sold for more than twenty-five thousand silver coins."
Hence why Li Huang's low starting price. It was, to slowly entice everyone and gradually excite, and entice everyone's mood to promote higher bids as more items went on until the last item was sold.
In a battle, the main thing was to kill the opponent, but defense is also important. So, the bidders were gradually increasing the price of this grey armor. On top of it, this armor was a high-tier common armor.
Just like cultivation skills, weapons, and armor are also divided into common weapons and spirit weapons and they were further divided into low-tier, middle-tier, and high-tier weapons.
In Myriad Dragon Country, a low-tier spirit weapon is already very rare, let alone a middle-tier and high-tier spirit weapon, and armor.
In small cities like Red Star City, a high-tier common weapon is the symbol of hegemony.
Hence the reason for its insane price.
"16,000 silver coins!"
"300 Gold!"
The voice of a middle-aged man rang out from one of the private rooms.
This caused the entire auction to become dead silent.
It was a large increase, and along with that no one in the general audience was strong enough to mess with someone in the VIP area.
Seeing that nobody was bidding, Li Huang said, "300 gold coins once!"
"Going twice!"
"Going thrice!"
"Sold! Congrats to the bidder in VIP Number 4 for obtaining the grey armor! Along with being this auction's first winner!" Li Huang's words were perfectly tuned to let people be at ease and comfortable.
With this kind of auctioneer here, there was no need to worry about not being able to sell anything.
Mei Yue leaned against the sofa leisurely.
The first few items to be sold were common weapons, some herbs, and ores. Mei Yue had no interest in these things as he didn't even bother to look at them. Most of the herbs were just useless and would be a waste of time to nurture them inside the Heavenly crown.
Though, some herbs and ores were sold for a pretty good price. The highest price that he heard of was 800 gold coins.
Soon after, there was a series of four to five different kinds of rare and precious medicinal ingredients for auction.
Mei Yue had heard of these slightly rumored herbs.
"Next is the mysterious, Mystic Fruit!"
Hearing that Mei Yue's eyes narrowed, as his eyes narrowly stared at the light white fruit beside Li Huang's hand.
"This is a miraculous fruit that comes from the deeper area of the Black Cloud Forest. It also had the protection of the Scaled Armored Beast. After consuming it, one can increase the toughness of the martial artist's body. It can also increase their strength. Its rarity is just below the precious Mystic Void Fruit, hence its name Mystic Fruit." Li Huang smiled as she introduced it.
"The starting price of the Void Fire Fruit is 500 gold coins. And every bid must increase the minimum of 50 gold coins."
Mei Yue didn't wait as he pressed the button on the armrest of his sofa, "1,000 Gold coins."
Mei Yue's voice was cold and distant.
He desperately needed this fruit to increase his strength, to him, it was just as rare as a regular Mystic Void fruit.
To be able to solidify the skin and strengthen the defense meant that it was able to increase the strength of a person to a certain extent, and it can also help him break through into Profound Spirit Realm.
Besides 1,000 gold coins meant nothing to him right now.
everyone was silent at its sudden price but bidding resumed quickly after.
"1,100!"
"1,300!"
The price continued to soar little by little, and just as Mei Yue was about to bid someone beat him to it.
"2,000"
Mei Yue could tell it came right next door to his booth.
"This guest here at room number 2 placed the bid of 2,000 gold coins, is there anyone else who wants to add on?"
Li Huang's charming voice resounded out to everyone.
Once again bid of the Mystic Fruit started increasing.
"2,300!"
"2,400!"
"3,000" Mei Yue didn't wait and put in his bid.
A professional smile appeared on Li Huang's face, "3,000 gold coins! currently, the highest bidder, going once!"
"Going twice!"
"Going Thrice!"
"Congratulations to the bidder of Mystic Fruit from Room Number 1 for successfully bidding for this spirit fruit".
After obtaining the Mystic Fruit, Mei Yue sighed in relief.
Now, he finally has a chance to make his breakthrough to the Profound Spirit Realm. After stepping into Profound Spirit Realm, he can break the barrier of the memories of the Ancient Alchemy God. After fusing with those memories, he can use them for his own and use it to find a backer that isn't the five great sects.
Mei Yue made the right choice in attending his auction, as his plans were always to break through into Profound Spirit Realm, and obtain and use the memories from the Alchemy God. Hence why he was skeptical of this first plan as there were too many variables which is why joining the five great sects of Monarch City was a secondary option.
"Profound Spirit Realm..." Mei Yue mumbled.
