"As Su Jin's voice just fell, bidding voices rang out in the hall.
"Five thousand gold coins!"
"Six thousand gold coins!"
As soon as one bid was shouted, the next bid quickly overshadowed the previous one, creating a lively scene.
"Nine thousand gold coins!"
"Ten thousand gold coins!"
In a short time, the price of the Bloodstained Blade had already been raised to ten thousand gold coins.
However, after reaching this point, some of the cultivators competing for the item stopped bidding. The fact that the Bloodstained Blade could fetch such a price was already quite good.
"Eleven thousand gold coins!" another voice called out.
A smile appeared on Su Jin's face as he said, "Another guest has bid eleven thousand gold coins. Eleven thousand gold coins. Is there anyone willing to go higher?"
After Su Jin's words, another voice rang out, "Twelve thousand gold coins!"
"Twelve thousand gold coins! Is there anyone willing to go higher?"
The hall fell into silence. The price that the Bloodstained Blade had reached was already quite high for its value.
The owner of the Bloodstained Blade, standing in the audience, wore a thick smile upon seeing the price his auction item had fetched. It was much higher than what a shop would have offered!
"Twelve thousand gold coins, sold!"
Su Jin raised the small hammer in his hand and struck it down heavily. The dull and loud sound echoed in everyone's ears, announcing the end of the first auction item.
"Congratulations to the customer who acquired the Bloodstained Blade!"
The staff of the Tianxiang Auction House applauded first, followed by the guests in the hall.
To Su Jin's right, another enchanting woman in a red dress held a tray and walked towards the customers below.
With the applause and the smile of the beautiful woman, the person received the Bloodstained Blade they had successfully bid for, and a broad smile appeared on their face.
"No wonder the Tianxiang Auction House is so famous. It's evident from just one auction." Shao Zifan sighed, impressed by their grasp of human psychology.
Bai Li Hongzhuang nodded slightly, "Indeed, the methods of the Tianxiang Auction House are remarkable."
The Bloodstained Blade was not worth twelve thousand gold coins, but after the performance of the Tianxiang Auction House, the buyer felt extremely happy even if they paid more.
It was believed that the next time the person attended an auction, they would definitely choose the Tianxiang Auction House first.
As the first auction item was sold, several more items were auctioned off one after another, but Bai Li Hongzhuang and the others still hadn't placed any bids.
"Now, the next auction item is called the Mysterious Star Sword!"
Su Jin lifted the red cloth, revealing a silver sword in everyone's sight.
"This sword can cut iron like mud, and with a single breath, it can break hair. It is truly an excellent weapon!"
"Customers who favor swords should not miss this opportunity!"
Shao Zifan, who had been quietly observing the auction, suddenly sat up and fixed his gaze on the Mysterious Star Sword.
Seeing Shao Zifan's change, Bai Li Hongzhuang asked, "Are you interested in this Mysterious Star Sword?"
Shao Zifan nodded with a smile, "This Mysterious Star Sword is quite good. I'm about to go to the Canglan Academy, and I want to find a suitable weapon."
"Go for it! Get it!" Zhao Yunqian said with a smile.
"The Mysterious Star Sword, starting at thirty thousand gold coins, with each bid increment of no less than one thousand gold coins. The bidding starts now!"
"Thirty-one thousand gold coins!"
"Thirty-two thousand gold coins!"
The guests sitting in the second-class seats started to make their bids, while the commoners in the third-class seats shook their heads helplessly."
