Tang Yin left the room alongside the Nie family disciple. "The auction will start in an hour, I'll take you to your room." The disciple said to Tang Yin while leading him to the second floor. Tang Yin did not refuse, and within a few minutes, they arrived outside another room.
The room was not luxurious or as big as Grand Appraiser Lin's room, but it was good enough. The room had a single large chair and table at the front. On the table was a bowl of fresh fruits and a red button. Before the furniture was a screen of light. "That screen of light is to protect your identity, you can see through the screen of light but anyone from the other side cannot." The disciple explained while pointing towards the screen of light.
Tang Yin was slightly surprised, he had not imagined the Nie family to be so meticulous and considerate in their designs. "If you want to place a bid, just press that red button and shout out your bid. The screen of light does not block out sound." The disciple explained again, after saying this he did not linger but left Tang Yin alone in the room.
Tang Yin sat down on the chair silently, he did not touch the fruit. Instead, he looked down on the first floor, which could be viewed from the second floor. There were many chairs placed on the first floor with a 5-meter distance between each one. At the far end of the first floor was the auction stage where the auction items would be presented. Tang Yin could not see the third floor from the second floor unless he left his room.
Tang Yin recalled the price of the Spirit Adaption Pill and was shocked, he was shocked towards Shan Yu. Shan Yu had only been in the 3rd stage of the Spirit Channelling Realm with a Tier 8 Martial Spirit, yet he was still able to get his hands on a Spirit Adaption Pill, the Shan family was truly wealthy.
What Tang Yin did not know was that once Shan Yu awakened his Tier 8 Martial Spirit, he had been accepted into the main family and his status had risen. Therefore, he was able to get a Spirit Adaption pill with much difficulty.
An hour passed very quickly, by now the first floor had been filled to the brim. Most of the rooms on the second floor had been occupied, and some people were also present on the third floor. The cultivators on the first floor could not see the appearances of the people on the second and third floors, due to the screen of light.
A middle-aged man with long black hair and large white robes walked out onto the auction stage. As soon as he appeared an uproar immediately rose.
"That's Nie Jin, he's an elder of the Nie family. Apparently, he's in the 3rd stage of the Physique Transformation Realm." Low voices crept around on the first floor. "Quiet!" Nie Jin shouted at the cultivators on the first floor. There were no voices on the second or third floors. As soon as Nie Jin's voice reverberated across the first floor, deathly silence appeared.
"As you all know, I'm Nie Jin an elder of the Nie family. I shall preside over this auction today. The rules are the same as usual when you successfully bid on an item, it will be brought to your room and the payment shall be made. If you bid on an item but cannot afford it, the Nie family will waste your cultivation and ban you from future auctions." Nie Jin's deep cold voice echoed across all 3 floors, nobody refuted Nie Jin.
"The auction will now officially start." As soon as Nie Jin announced this, a pretty woman dressed in thin clothes walked onto the stage with a tray in her hands. The tray had an item placed on it, but it was covered with a red cloth.
Various cultivators stared at the woman and her curvaceous body in lust, the woman seemed used to this and made no uncomfortable reactions.
"The first item is a piece of Golden Hair Ore." Nie Jin lifted the red cloth off the item, and a black rock with golden lines etched into it appeared on the tray. "The Golden Hair Ore is a material that can be used to create a Tier 9 Artifact, the starting bid for this item is 10 Low-grade Spirit Stones." Nie Jin stated the use of the ore and announced a starting price.
Immediately bids were thrown in from the crowd. "11 Low-grade Spirit Stones" "13 Low-grade Spirit Stones" "15 Low-grade Spirit Stones". When a cultivator from the second floor spoke up, nobody on the first floor continued placing bids. A mere Golden Hair Ore was not worth offending a large family.
"15 Low-grade Spirit Stones, once, twice, and sold. Congratulations on your purchase, the item shall be brought to your room shortly." Nie Jin said as if he was reading a script. Nie Jin was the elder that looked over the auction halls of the Nie Family, he had hosted auctions many times, and he was used to saying these lines repeatedly.
The woman beside Nie Jin turned around and walked off stage with the Golden Hair Ore. Instead, another woman who was equally as pretty appeared with another tray in her hands. Like the previous tray, the item was also covered in a red cloth.
"The second item to be auctioned off is a Violet Star Core herb, this herb is an ingredient to create many different Tier 9 Medicinal Pills." Nie Jin explained after he lifted the cloth off the tray. Inside the tray was a violet flower with a fruit at its core. Tang Yin immediately looked over; he had possessed a Violet Star Core herb before.
"The starting price for this Violet Star Core herb is 7 Low-grade Spirit Stone." Nie Jin announced. "8 Low-grade Spirit Stones" "9 Low-grade Spirit Stones" "10 Low-grade Spirit Stones" "11 Low-grade Spirit Stones" The same voice that had won the Golden Hair Ore resounded; the first floor fell into immediate silence.
"11 Low-grade Spirit Stones, once, twice, and sold. Congratulations on winning the bid for the Violet Star Core herb, it shall be brought over shortly." Nie Jin casually repeatedly himself. The woman beside his side left with the tray in hand.
