Yi Yan and the other two did not sit down after the Spirit Separating Stage expert left. Instead, they observed the environment of the entire auction house.

In the lobby of the first floor, the counter had been removed three days ago and was replaced by a platform that was about four and a half meters high.

The platform took up an area of half a kilometer.

On the platform, other than the stage that was about a meter tall and had items placed on it, there was only the position of auctioneer at the front.

There were no rooms above the platform, leading directly to the roof. The rooms on the second and third floors were located diagonally above the platform.

As a result, the entire platform appeared extremely spacious and one could see everything clearly from any point of view.

Under the platform, there were hundreds of thousands of tables arranged neatly in a crescent shape in the hall on the first floor.

Each table was matched with four chairs. Clearly, this was the place for ordinary cultivators to sit.

The second floor of the auction house was divided into small rooms. Each room was about five meters wide, and there were thousands of rooms on the second floor.

The third floor, which was also where Yi Yan and the other two were sitting, was also a private room.

However, compared to the small rooms on the second floor, the third floor was much more spacious. Each room was around forty to fifty meters wide, and there was a sofa like bench placed against the wall.

Next to the door, there was a screen made of energy. From above, one could clearly see the items in the auction hall and on the platform, so that one didn't have to leave the comfortable bench to clearly see everything below. It gave off the feeling that everything was under one's control.

As for Yi Yan and the other two, they were currently in room number 116.

Cultivators also need to enjoy their long life.

After carefully examining the room he was in, Yi Yan couldn't help but think to himself.

Although in his previous life, he would frequently help Hao Cheng take his refined artifacts to the auction for him, most of them would just leave after putting down the Spiritual Artifact and come back to retrieve the crystals after a while. In any case, no one dared to do such a thing in Cultivation Realm, so there was no reason for him to offend the number one grandmaster artificer of Cultivation Realm for the sake of a few crystals.

Therefore, this was actually Yi Yan's first time participating in a large-scale auction like this.

Compared to Xiao Se's familiar road, Yi Yan and Xie Yunlei were like two bumpkins entering the city.

After the three of them sat down, Xiao Se waved both of her hands over and over, placing layers of restrictions around the private box to prevent noise and prevent others from investigating. This also caused Yi Yan to sigh at his shrewdness and caution.

After chatting for a while, the auction started as scheduled. A middle-aged man in the late stage of the Body Refinement Realm walked onto the stage in the auction hall.

When the noise gradually subsided, the man introduced himself first, "Hello fellow cultivators." I am the auctioneer of this auction, Tang Mingchi. I believe that everyone has a list of items for this auction and also has something that you like. I won't waste any more words. "The starting price is three hundred high-grade crystals, with each bid increasing to ten. Please make your offer.

Because it was the first day of the auction, there weren't any good items in sight, so Yi Yan spent an entire day to buy two types of high grade materials, even though he had only spent a few hundred high-grade crystals.

It was only then that he realized why Xiao Se had sat down to recuperate as soon as she entered the box, ignoring the situation outside.

It seemed that he had participated in too many auctions, so he had managed to gain some experience.

Actually, it wasn't just Xiao Se who was distracted. Most of the private rooms on the second and third floors were also empty. Only the hall on the first floor was filled with cultivators.

Their cultivation was not high, and they did not have much crystals on them. The reason they were participating in the auction was to obtain the low grade items from a few days ago, the final few were not something they could afford, and could only pick the low grade goods that the experts did not want.

Since he knew all of this, Yi Yan decided not to come over for the next few days. He decided to send Xie Yunlei to participate in the auction.

In any case, he still had a lot of crystals in his ring, so he could afford to buy anything he wanted.

Xie Yunlei had never experienced these kinds of situations before, so he did not have much of an opinion on this matter. He happily traveled back and forth between the Auction House and the Taoran Wine House every day, not feeling tired of it at all.

That same day, Yi Yan started cultivating in the guest room. When he saw Kuang Qi again, Yi Yan felt a heavy pressure.

Xiao Se, on the other hand, continued to run around with Xie Yunlei every day, not feeling annoyed at all.

He was in a good mood recently, and got along well with Xie Yunlei. The two of them would often gather behind Yi Yan's back and whisper to each other.

Moreover, at Xiao Se's current realm, a few days of closed door cultivation was basically useless. He was also worried that Xie Yunlei would go to the auction house alone, so he simply ran back and forth with Xie Yunlei every day.

Yi Yan was initially a little worried about Xie Yunlei, afraid that he would cause trouble for himself because he was not afraid of the tigers.

Now that he saw that Xiao Se was with him, Yi Yan could finally relax.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten days had passed.

In these dozen or so days, although Yi Yan's cultivation did not have a substantial breakthrough, under his stimulation, the circulation of the Taiji Yinyang fish in his dantian sped up by a bit, and the energy of yin and yang also became a bit purer.

In addition to the last hundred years of seclusion, the energy in the Taiji Yinyang fish's eye had already reached its purest state, and could be transformed at any time, entering the late stage of the exit.

Thus, Yi Yan was very satisfied with the effects of these dozen days of closed door cultivation.

This morning, Xiao Se called Yi Yan out from his closed door cultivation.

Because there was only one day left to the auction, there was a high chance that some good items would appear today.

In addition, the major powers had been holding their breath for so long. It was time for them to make an appearance. How could they miss out on such a good show?

Sure enough, today's auction was exceptionally popular.

Not only was the lobby of the first floor packed with millions of cultivators, but most of the private rooms on the second and third floors were reserved as well.

One had to know that not only could one enter a private room with crystals, if one wished to rent a room on the second floor, they would need at least Spirit Separating Stage of the third floor, and the requirements of the third floor had also reached the combination stage.

Therefore, having a private room in the auction house was definitely a symbol of status and strength.

Not long after the auction started, the somewhat absent-minded Yi Yan was attracted to it.

At this moment, the auctioneer called Tang Mingchi had taken out a dark blue ore.

After looking at the ore from the big screen in front of him, Yi Yan released the Immortal Consciousness to carefully confirm its release. Then, he turned to Xiao Se and said with a smile: "Brother, it seems that our luck today was pretty good. This is a top grade material called Blue Obsidian Stone, a top grade material for refining high grade Spiritual Armor.

Upon hearing Xiao Se's words, Xiao Se's large eyes immediately widened as she stared fixedly at the piece of Blue Obsidian Stone.

Although he did not know about this material, Yi Yan was already a Master Refiner in his eyes. How could the quality be bad if Yi Yan was so sure about it?

Therefore, for her own top quality Spiritual Armor, Xiao Se had decided that no matter what price she had to pay, she had to buy this Blue Obsidian Stone.

Tang Mingchi only gave a general introduction of the Blue Obsidian Stone's name and uses, before immediately announcing the starting price of the auction — five thousand high-grade crystals.

For those who really needed it, even if they didn't introduce it, they would know what it was.

And for people who didn't understand refining, no matter how many introductions were made, they wouldn't buy it.

It had to be said that Tang Mingchi had quite the control over a person's mentality. Otherwise, his Zhen Yi City would not have chosen him as the auctioneer for this auction.

As expected, as soon as Tang Mingchi finished speaking, a cultivator in the lobby of the first floor immediately raised the bid, "5100 high-grade crystal stones!"

This voice broke the silence of the auction house, and the sounds of bidding rose one after another. In the time it took for an incense stick to burn, the price had already risen to seven thousand and eight hundred high-grade crystals.

At this moment, the various powers' representatives and cultivation experts on the second and third floor began to crumble.

Very soon, a low voice came from room number 4: "I offer ten thousand high grade crystals, and hope everyone will give us the face of Lang Sect."

Yi Yan and the others all recognized the voice as the voice belonged to the Lang Sect Elder, Lu Gong.

After Lu Gong's voice sounded, the entire auction house fell into a dead silence. Even the private booths on the second and third floor had become silent.

After all, Lang Sect was an extremely influential place. Furthermore, with Tianqian Sect, many cultivators had to consider whether it was worth it to offend Lang Sect for the sake of a Blue Obsidian Stone.

As for Yi Yan, Xiao Se, and the others, Xie Yunlei's expressions instantly darkened.

In the last ten or so days, Xiao Se had been with Xie Yunlei everyday. Naturally, she found out from him that there was an irreconcilable enmity between him and Lang Sect.

Now, seeing that Lang Sect wanted to rely on their power to force other cultivators to withdraw and thus buy this piece of Blue Obsidian Stone that he had long considered as his trump card, it would be strange for Xiao Se's expression to be good.

On the third floor's private room, there was a white-bearded old man in his late stage sixties who was staring intently at the big screen in front of him. He was Li Xuan, whom Yi Yan had met before.

Suddenly, Li Xuan's expression changed, and he took out the Transmission Jade Chip.

After a brief inspection, Li Xuan bowed towards a cultivator who was sitting in the middle of a bench with a dignified expression on his face and asked: "City Lord, the Lang Sect has already made its move. Look …"

The middle-aged man he called the mayor wore a very ordinary blue daoist robe. He didn't immediately respond to Li Xuan's words; instead, he picked up the wine cup on the stone table in front of him, lightly sipped from it, and then carefully savored it.

It wasn't until Li Xuan was on the verge of losing control of his temper and continuing his questioning that the middle-aged man finally opened his mouth and leisurely said, "No rush." The Lang Sect is just a small fish, the reason Kuang Qi made him stick his head out was to test out our reactions. compete for a piece of ore with Lu Gong? Humph! That would be giving him too much face! "
