The two walked side by side to the fifth floor of the Mittel Auction House, where the Heavenly Auction would take place.
"This is where the Heavenly Auction House is located. With this, you can naturally enter the auction house. I need to leave with you first to take care of some matters."
Although Ya Fei didn't say it explicitly, Xiao Yan could guess that it must have been about what had just happened.
"Okay, I'll come find you later."
Xiao Yan took the identity card and stepped onto the fifth floor. As soon as he stepped onto the stairs, a barrier formed by Dou Qi blocked his way.
This battle aura barrier is extremely strong; unless two Dou Huang powerhouses join forces to attack, it is impossible for it to be broken in a short period of time.
As Xiao Yan stepped onto the fifth floor, his identity card flashed, and the barrier automatically opened an opening, allowing Xiao Yan to enter without any hindrance.
The entire fifth floor has only one huge auction room, and there aren't even many guards here.
Anyone who can enter this place cannot be stopped by the guards. The role of these guards is mainly to inform and run errands. Even so, guards on this floor must sign a confidentiality agreement. If they leak information about the Heavenly Auction, they will be held accountable by the Mittel Auction House.
Xiao Yan swaggered in. There weren't many people there, and each guest had a private room. This served two purposes: to conceal their identities and to highlight their status and position.
The private boxes are arranged in a ring around the perimeter of the auction hall, with only a cross-shaped red carpet passageway visible. The auction stage is located in the very center.
There are only one hundred private rooms in total, and only about that many people are qualified to enter each year.
Even though there are only a few private rooms, they are almost never full every time a gathering is held.
The private rooms closest to the entrance were already occupied, indicated by a red glow outside, while the vacant rooms were flashing with a green glow.
There is a waiter outside each private room, who is responsible for relaying messages and providing various services to the guests in the room.
Xiao Yan selected an available private room number 42 and used his identity card to open the door.
Each private room is about 30 square meters in size and can accommodate up to four people. The interior is extremely luxurious, and there is a large window facing the auction stage that allows one to see out from one side.
"Sir, I am your waiter. During the auction, you can ring the bell in the box to call me if you need anything."
The waiter's speech and manners had undergone rigorous training, and his cultivation level was at the Dou Shi level.
Those who serve as waiters here are specially trained by the Mittel family to serve the important figures here. They only do their job and don't utter a single unnecessary word.
As the time arrived precisely on time, a beautiful female auctioneer slowly appeared on the auction stage.
"It is a pleasure for everyone to be here at the Celestial Auction of my Mittel Auction House. I am Hua Zheng, the chief auctioneer of the Mittel family."
We extended invitations to all major powers in the Gama Empire for this event, which may have taken up some of your valuable time.
However, please rest assured that everything that appears here is absolutely appropriate for your status.
Of course, if you want to take them away, you'll need to have a deep enough wallet.
"Well then, without further ado, I hereby officially announce the commencement of the Celestial Rank Auction at the Mittel Auction House!"
The beautiful sounds heated up the atmosphere of the auction, which made many of the early arrivals, as well as some bored VIPs, perk up a little.
"This first treasure is a kind of beast fire called Stone Mountain Fire, which is the flame stripped from the body of the sixth-order magical beast, the Volcano Beast."
This strange flame was secretly extracted from a sleeping volcanic beast by three powerful cultivators who risked their lives. Its value is best understood by alchemists.
"Then the Stone Mountain Fire, starting bid: five million gold coins!"
Good heavens, the first item up for auction is a heavyweight. You have to know that the volcanic beast itself is a behemoth like an active volcano, born of heaven and earth at the sixth level. Although it is dormant most of the time, once it awakens, it is like a volcanic eruption, with ash raining down.
It has to be said that those three fighting spirits are really despicable. Aren't they afraid of being awakened by others? If they run away, the surrounding residents will suffer.
However, Xiao Yan possessed three different kinds of strange flames and had no interest in this thing at all.
However, there are quite a few alchemists in the capital, which immediately sparked a bidding war. In the end, the price of this thing was auctioned off for 8.8 million gold coins. Keep in mind that this was the first item to be auctioned!
"The second item: to be precise, is a living creature. Bring it up."
After he finished speaking, two burly men wearing masks worked together to lift up a cage covered with a red cloth.
Hua Zheng lifted the red cloth, revealing a thunder lion inside, with a black mark on its head, clearly some kind of special seal.
"The second item is a fifth-tier magical beast, the Thunder Lion, which is at the Dou Wang level. In order to capture it, three Dou Wang experts worked together for three days and three nights and finally severely injured and sealed it."
Whoever buys it will gain control of the seal, and for the family, it will become another loyal servant of the Fighting King.
Of course, due to the seal, this Thunder Lion will never be able to break through to the sixth rank in its lifetime. After all, a Douhuang demon beast is not so easy to control.
The Thunder Lion, starting bid is eight million gold coins. Bidding can begin now.
The second item was also of great value: a fifth-tier magical beast that was sold off without hesitation. As for the Thunder Lion, many people were determined to acquire it, and the price kept rising, quickly reaching over 11 million.
However, fewer people were willing to bid higher, since some families didn't need a fifth-tier magical beast at such a high price, while others couldn't afford it.
Ultimately, the deal for Lei Gangshi was settled at 13.1 million.
"The items are good, but none of them are usable." Xiao Yan yawned. After going through four items, none of them were what he wanted.
Bored with the wait, Xiao Yan began to examine the food and drink menu on the table, which was provided free of charge to the important figures who came here.
"Hmm, all of these are free? That's perfect. Let's start with a platter of spirit fruits, a large glass of freshly squeezed fire orange juice, and grilled ink shrimp. Hmm, let's just order ten plates to start."
All the food is provided free of charge, and each serving is worth around a hundred gold coins. However, generally no one orders too much, except for Xiao Yan, who is entering the capital for the first time and is like a country bumpkin.
The waiter was truly impressive; he could carry more than a dozen plates by himself while walking with remarkable stability. It was clear that his salary was well-deserved.
While enjoying the food, Xiao Yan kept an eye on the auction stage.
The competition for the first four items was fierce, but they were of no value to Xiao Yan.
Finally, the fifth item came up for auction. This item was the smallest of all the items, a deep red animal hide scroll.
"The fifth item up for auction, which I believe will interest many of you, is a low-level Earth-rank fire-type fighting technique called the Great Flame Sky-Shattering Fist!"
A low-level Earth-rank fire-type fighting skill? Xiao Yan, who had been somewhat casual, immediately sat up straight. Wasn't this tailor-made for him?
