Chapter 147 The Mysterious Ice Attribute Douhuang Master

After bidding for the Thunder Bat Sky Wings, in the following period of time, some of the fourth-grade elixirs and Xuan-level martial arts fighting skills that Xiao Yuanji bid for caused quite a stir, and the transaction prices also made him quite satisfied.

However, as time passed, Xiao Yuan became somewhat bored and shrank back into his chair with a lack of interest.

"Haha, the next item to be auctioned is a little strange, because even we don't know what it is used for. However, after careful analysis by our auction, it seems like some unknown treasure map."

The white-haired auctioneer bent down and took out a silver plate, then carefully lifted the brocade cloth on the silver plate. Suddenly, a tattered piece of ancient cloth appeared in everyone's sight.

"Hush!" Seeing the torn piece of cloth, the auction hall was silent for a while, and then suddenly there was a booing sound.

Hearing those disdainful boos, the smile on the white-haired auctioneer's face also became a little embarrassed. After their research, they found that this ancient piece of cloth should be a map, which can be recognized from the route markings on it. However, apart from that, they did not gain much, except
Glancing at the ancient piece of cloth, the auctioneer picked it up with two fingers, spread it out in front of everyone's sight, pointed at the half-patterned pattern on the edge, and said with a smile: "If my guess is correct, this map should be very old. Although it is not clear what it hides, ancient things are not ordinary goods, right? People always have to gamble. If someone gets the complete map, if they are lucky, maybe the things hidden in it will shock the whole continent."

"Tsk!" Most people scoffed at his words.

Of course, not everyone is like this. At least, at this moment, Xiao Yan's eyes suddenly widened.

Xiao Yuan naturally recognized that this was the remaining image of the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire, but his face was full of boredom.

It seemed as if he was saying that a mere incomplete map was not worth his effort at all.

Of course, no one could see his expression because of the white gauze around the veil.

On the crystal stage, the white-haired auctioneer was talking excitedly about how mysterious this ancient piece of cloth was. In short, he was trying his best to increase the value of this ancient piece of cloth. Unfortunately, it seemed to have little effect, because under his impatient introduction, some people in the venue began to get impatient, and some people with hot tempers even cursed directly.

Hearing the still lukewarm reaction from below, the white-haired auctioneer could only shake his head helplessly, swallowed his saliva to moisten his dry throat, and said with a wry smile: "According to the setting, the reserve price of this piece of tattered cloth is 100,000 gold coins. Now, let the auction begin."

As the white-haired auctioneer finished speaking, the huge auction hall suddenly fell silent. Some people looked at the stage as if they were idiots. Who would spend 100,000 gold coins to buy a broken map that they didn't even know was real? And even if they had money, they wouldn't spend it like this, right?

Xiao Yuan also watched the situation quietly until he was silent for nearly five minutes. When Xiao Yan made a bid before the incomplete painting was sold out, which led Fan Ling to make a bid as well, he sat up slowly and lazily shouted, "150,000."

Hearing someone bargaining, Fan Ling subconsciously prepared to bid again, but when he saw that it was that damn woman in the white dress who was bidding, he immediately calmed down, glanced at her and then turned his gaze to Xiao Yan in a black robe.

Previously, it was these two guys who he couldn't figure out who rushed into the auction hall before him. Could it be that these two suddenly bargained for him in order to make him an innocent once again?
While being alert, Fan Ling was prepared to take advantage of the situation and raise the price for these two people.

So Fan Ling continued to shout: "Two hundred thousand!"

"Tsk, then congratulations to the young master for winning the treasure map!"

Xiao Yuan shrank back into his chair nonchalantly, with a hint of teasing in his cold voice.

Hearing this, Fan Ling's face suddenly turned gloomy, and then his gaze turned to Xiao Yan.

"Young Master is indeed generous! He spent two hundred thousand to buy such a piece of junk."

The guy in a black robe laughed sarcastically, cupped his hands and said.

"Snapped!"

Hearing this, Fan Ling slapped the seat and stood up suddenly.

But this was the territory of the Eight Gates, and he couldn't really take action on the spot. He took several deep breaths, and finally managed to calm himself down and sit back in his seat.

But the gazes from all around, as if looking at an idiot or a madman, made the veins on his forehead bulge and throb continuously. His originally pale face also became somewhat rosy due to anger, making him look a lot healthier.

"Haha, Young Master Fan Ling is offering 200,000 gold coins to buy this map. Is there anyone who wants to raise the price?" The auctioneer asked with a smile, but no one answered him, so he quickly knocked the auction hammer down.

The auction was still progressing slowly amid the anticipation of countless people. After the mysterious broken picture, some good things appeared that boosted the atmosphere of the entire venue. Coincidentally, the climax created by Xiao Yan's three-patterned Green Spirit Pill was the highlight.

As the top-level Qingling Pill, even in the Black Horn Domain, few people have seen the true three-patterned pill. After all, the conditions required for refining it with three different flames are really harsh. So, when the three-patterned Qingling Pill appeared, even the powerful forces in the Black Horn Domain such as the Blood Sect, the Sky Snake Mansion, and the Black Skull Tomb were all shocked.

As for the final winner of the "Three-Pattern Green Spirit Pill", it was no longer the wealthy Young Master of the Blood Sect, but a man from the Sky Snake Palace. The Green Elder directly revealed a sky-high price of 1.5 million, which made almost everyone in the audience stunned by the courage of this woman.

Fan Ling, who was bidding against him, became more and more angry the more he thought about it.

If he hadn't been cheated by the man in black robe and the woman in white dress, he wouldn't have given up the bidding due to lack of funds!
Soon, the auction was coming to an end, and the truly heavyweight items appeared!

"Three Thousand Thunder Movements, body movement fighting technique, level: low earth rank."

The auctioneer's gentle voice instantly plunged the entire noisy auction into silence. Countless red eyes suddenly turned to the silver scroll on the crystal table, and the rapid breathing sounded like a bellows.

There was no initial reserve price for “Three Thousand Thunders”, but the moment the auction hammer in the auctioneer’s hand fell, the price suddenly soared to a high price of two million!
Xiao Yuan also joined in the fun and called out a price several times, but after the price exceeded five million, he had no choice but to shut up.

There is no way. Compared with these big forces, my assets are really not enough.

How about robbing the Blood Sect? Xiao Yuan couldn't help but think.

As a well-known force in the Black Horn Region, the Blood Clan's assets must be considerable. If he could take them for himself, he wouldn't have to worry about resources for a long time to come.

Just as Xiao Yuan was secretly planning in his mind, the price of Three Thousand Thunders had soared to 8.27 million. This huge sum of money was equivalent to the total income of the Mitre family for several years. Even if this was in the Black Horn Region, there was probably no force that could take it out casually!

When the price reached this point, some weaker forces finally began to give up. With this uninterrupted price elimination, ten minutes later, the gray-robed middle-aged man belonging to the Black Skull Tomb force finally quoted a sky-high price of 10.2 million with a twitching face, shocking the entire auction hall into silence.

Of course, you may be able to buy this thing, but you may not be able to take it away.

After secretly paying tribute to the people in the Black Skull Tomb for a while, Xiao Yuan raised his head and looked at the auctioneer, whose expression had become solemn, with his eyes narrowed.

The real treasure is coming! The elixir made by his "good senior brother", Medicine King Han Feng, the Yin Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill!
but
This pill has nothing to do with me, so it would be better to take the auction items now and make some preparations in advance.

After walking out of the auction house slowly, Xiao Yuan went straight to the hall and called a maid. After explaining his purpose, he was respectfully invited in by the maid.

"Dear guest, please wait for a moment. The auction will soon end. The person in charge will help you clean up the auction items."

The maid placed a cup of warm tea on the table next to Xiao Yuan, then walked out with a smile.

Nodding slightly, Xiao Yuan froze the liquid in the teacup into ice cubes, then held it in his hands and played with it, with no intention of drinking it at all.

In the Black Horn Region, it doesn't hurt to be cautious, especially in an auction venue that seems fair but is actually terribly dark.

After a long time, several footsteps suddenly came into the hall from far away, and the fingers gradually stopped. Xiao Yan opened his eyes and looked at the open door. There, a short and skinny old man was leading two maids and the very mature girl that Xiao Yuan had photographed, and they walked in with a smile.

"Haha, the distinguished guest is the one who auctioned off so many fighting skills and elixirs, right? I am the person in charge here, you can just call me Manager Hu." Seeing Xiao Yuan, who was wearing a white dress and a veil hat, the old man walked up and said with a smile.

"Yeah." Xiao Yuan nodded calmly and said softly, "Manager Hu, is the auction over?"

"Haha, it's ended successfully." Manager Hu smiled and nodded, his eyes swept over Xiao Yuan inconspicuously, but he couldn't find anything, so he waved his hand, and a maid behind him hurriedly brought the silver plate in her hand over. On the silver plate, there was a purple gold card with seven ripples of different colors painted on it.

The seven-patterned purple gold card, in the Douqi Continent, only those who are above the level of Dou Wang are qualified to apply for and carry it. Since the Douling-level treasure appraiser had not been able to see through Xiao Yuan's strength, and the things Xiao Yuan sent to bid were all very valuable, he was naturally treated as a Dou Wang.

"Your Excellency Dou Wang, the total auction price of the many fighting skills and elixirs you sent for auction is 5.5 million. After deducting the 10% auction fee, there is still 4.95 million left." Manager Hu narrowed his eyes like a slit and smiled, "The auction of this girl Qing Ning cost 130,000, so your final gain is 4.82 million. The money is all in this purple gold card. As for this girl, from now on, she is your private property."

As soon as the words fell, the maid bent down, raised the tray with both hands, and presented the seven-patterned purple gold card to Xiao Yuan. The girl called Qing Ning was led to Xiao Yuan by another maid.

“What a shady handling fee.”

After hearing the 10% handling fee, Xiao Yuan frowned slightly, a little unhappy, but he still picked up the seven-pattern purple gold card casually, then flipped his palm, took out his own seven-pattern purple gold card, and transferred all the 4.82 million to his card.

"One card is enough for me. The girl's name is Qing Ning, right? I have some connection with her. Let's go."

Xiao Yuan casually threw the seven-patterned purple gold card back into the tray, reached out and grabbed Qing Ning, whose eyes still flashed with fear, and walked out.

"It's actually a Dou Huang powerhouse!" Manager Hu was shocked when he saw the seven-patterned purple gold card that Xiao Yuan put away. With his keen eyesight, he could naturally see that the seven-patterned purple gold card in Xiao Yuan's hand was definitely the strength activated by a genuine Dou Huang powerhouse.

"I wonder if Your Excellency Dou Huang can stay? My sect leader is very interested in you and wants to cooperate with you once."

Then Manager Hu hurriedly spoke.

"No need, I still have some things to do, so I'll leave now."

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan remained unmoved. He walked out of the auction house with the girl without looking back.

Standing in the hall, Manager Hu narrowed his eyes and looked at the beautiful figure in white disappearing from his sight, his brows slightly frowned.

"What? Did you figure out his identity?"

A faint voice suddenly sounded in the hall. Manager Hu turned around and saw a burly middle-aged man sitting on Xiao Yuan's previous chair. With the appearance of this man, the atmosphere in the hall seemed to suddenly become oppressive, causing Manager Hu to bend his back a lot.

"Master." Seeing the middle-aged man with graying hair and beard, Manager Hu hurriedly said respectfully, "I am incompetent and didn't see it, but this person is very likely a strong man from the mainland. After all, I am quite familiar with the Douhuang strongmen in the Black Horn Region and surrounding areas, but I still have no idea about this mysterious woman. But judging from the ice in the teacup, this person is most likely an ice-attributed Douhuang strongman. Its exact strength is difficult to estimate. I am afraid it is not much different from you, Master!"

The middle-aged man nodded when he heard this, and then said helplessly: "I think her identity is probably not simple. Judging from her voice and behavior, she should be only in her twenties. With such strength at such an age, her background must be not small. Let the people who were prepared earlier withdraw. What's the difference between following a Douhuang and seeking death?"

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, Manager Hu responded quickly.
