#236 - Enchanting snake girl, hot auction

Time passed, and the auction house quickly became packed. The surrounding stands were filled with cultivators, all whispering and communicating through sound transmission, their expressions excited.

For each auction item, the Underworld Wind Auction House maintained a mysterious stance, not revealing the items in advance. Firstly, the Underworld Wind Auction House was secretly controlled by the city lord, so it didn't need publicity. Naturally, a large number of cultivators would gather. Secondly, it was to whet everyone's appetite.

Suddenly, on the spirit jade square in the center of the auction house, the spirit jade on the ground suddenly cracked, and a high platform rose from it. Three people stood on it. The one in the middle was a charming female cultivator with a human body and a snake tail, with strange patterns on her face, shimmering with a faint spiritual light.

Standing beside her were two tall and sturdy men, exuding a strong demonic aura, coldly looking around, guarding the snake woman in the middle, one on the left and one on the right.

The black-robed doppelganger slightly released his divine sense and scanned them, discovering that they were two mid-stage Transformation God realm demon cultivators who had already transformed into human form.

"This is the general manager of the auction house, whose original form is a red-spotted water python. I heard that she is a close relative of the city lord and has a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivation base," the cat-eared girl named Xiao An introduced.

The black-robed doppelganger said with a slight smile, "I'm afraid it's not that simple. Does this red-spotted water python have a special relationship with your city lord?"

Xiao An's expression suddenly became a little nervous, and she repeatedly shook her head, saying, "I don't know!"

Being able to become the general manager of an auction house in a city with a Nascent Soul cultivation base, how could it be possible without some background!

Judging from Xiao An's appearance, he should have guessed correctly.

On the stage, the snake woman released a loud voice, saying, "I am Chi Tang, the general manager of this Underworld Wind Auction House. Welcome, fellow Daoists, to participate in this auction. Without further ado, the auction officially begins!"

With a gentle wave of her right hand, an incredibly huge white tusk suddenly appeared on the stage, seemingly forcibly pulled from the mouth of some kind of beast.

The tusk was covered with dense patterns, as if naturally formed, with a special rhythm, and it also retained a faint spiritual power fluctuation.

"This is the tusk of a fourth-order demon beast, the Tide Behemoth. It is incomparably hard. Legend has it that this Tide Behemoth possesses the bloodline of an ancient fierce beast. If you take this tusk back and refine it into a magical treasure, it will definitely be extremely powerful. The starting price is 500,000 spirit stones! Each bid must not be less than 100,000 spirit stones."

A small commotion immediately appeared in the surrounding stands, and many people revealed covetous looks.

"This thing is not bad. If you take it back and refine it into a magical treasure, it will definitely be extremely powerful!"

"My family just happens to have a human artificer, but he is only at the third-order. It is a bit difficult to refine this fourth-order magical treasure. If it is ruined, it will be troublesome!"

"500,000 spirit stones is not a small amount… I have to consider it carefully!"

Most of those in the stands were Nascent Soul and Transformation God realm cultivators. This kind of fourth-order refining material was also in demand for Transformation God realm cultivators. After all, not every Transformation God realm cultivator could afford a fifth-order magical treasure.

Especially for these demon clans, whose competition for resources was extremely fierce.

Many Transformation God realm demon cultivators were still using fourth-order magical treasures.

A wave of shouts soon rang out in the stands, and tokens were constantly lighting up.

"I bid 600,000 spirit stones!"

"You're embarrassed to offer 600,000? Get out of the way, I bid 800,000 spirit stones!"

"… 1,000,000 spirit stones!"

The price of the tusk quickly rose, and soon it rose to 1,500,000.

Xiao An looked enviously at the tusk on the stage, and couldn't help but turn her head to look at the black-robed doppelganger who was calmly drinking tea, and asked, "You… aren't you buying it?"

You must know that this kind of material is also beneficial to the Void Refinement realm. Some great powers can extract the power of the bloodline from this material through special divine powers to increase themselves or use it for other purposes.

Although it is very thin, it is also precious.

In the end, the tusk was bought by a Transformation God realm cultivator for a price of 2,000,000 spirit stones.

Having been auctioned off at such a high price, the smile on the snake woman's face also increased a bit. She waved her sleeves again, and a jade box appeared on the stage. After opening it, a brilliant spiritual light burst out: "This is the inner core of a fifth-order demon beast, the Wind Spirit Howler. I won't say much about its effects. Everyone is clear. The starting price is 10,000,000 spirit stones, and each bid must not be less than 1,000,000 spirit stones!"

The demon core of the Wind Spirit Howler!

Everyone present was shocked.

The Wind Spirit Howler is a very rare special wind-type demon beast, and its demon core is of great benefit to wind-type demon clans or cultivators who cultivate wind-attribute techniques!

Demon cores have always been the best resources pursued and loved by demon clans. Absorbing the demon power and spiritual power in them can greatly shorten the speed of cultivation, but this kind of absorption has great side effects, because the spiritual power and demon power in them are not from the same source as themselves. Forcibly absorbing it will only make their future path narrower and narrower, and may even stop them from moving forward.

Therefore, most demon clans will find someone to refine the demon core into an elixir that is easy to absorb and refine after obtaining it, greatly weakening its side effects.

"I bid 12,000,000 spirit stones!"

"This Heavenly Lord bids 15,000,000 spirit stones!"

"I bid 20,000,000, who dares to compete with me!"

The arena immediately boiled over, and even the spiritual light in the top few boxes began to light up.

The black-robed doppelganger's eyes flickered. This demon core was also useful to him, after all, the Spirit Piercing Bow refined by the Treasure Research Pavilion needed to use demon cores.

But just this one was not worth making a move, and besides, the children had already obtained a large number of demon cores from the Demon Barbarian Mountains, and now they were starting to attack the Dark Moon Great Forest. Although fifth-order demon cores were precious, they were not lacking.

Soon, this fifth-order demon core was auctioned off by a box on the top floor for 35,000,000 spirit stones, causing a burst of sighs from the surrounding people.

As expected of a big shot, 35,000,000 spirit stones had actually exceeded the value of the fifth-order demon core itself. It was estimated that it was bought to be refined into an elixir for the younger generation to use.

Round after round of auction items passed, basically all kinds of raw materials and demon cores, which did not arouse any interest in the black-robed doppelganger.

He now possessed the Eastern Region and You Province in the Central Region, and all kinds of resources were countless. The resources that the demon clan regarded as treasures were nothing in his eyes.

Suddenly, the snake woman Chi Tang smiled and clapped her hands, signaling the arena to quiet down, and said mysteriously, "Next, our Underworld Wind Auction House will have a special auction item appear. I believe everyone will be very interested."

These words whetted their appetites and made everyone show excited expressions.

Pa pa pa!

Chi Tang clapped her hands, and suddenly, the spirit jade ground next to her cracked again, and a huge iron cage rose from it.

As soon as this iron cage appeared, everyone in the audience lit up, and even the black-robed doppelganger straightened up slightly, his eyes slightly narrowed.
