Dantai Zhongde did not interrupt the enthusiastic discussions of the crowd this time. The shrewd old man wanted everyone to be as excited as this.
Only in this way could the Purple Sea Mysterious Flame be auctioned at a good price, allowing Huangfu Shengxing to profit from it!
After a long time, Dantai Zhongde waved his hand to interrupt everyone and passionately said, “Deep within our Heavenly Punishment Mountain Range, there is a magical sea. It is said that the sea water has been purple from ancient times to the present, hence it was named the Heavenly Punishment Purple Sea."
“Of course, its uses go without saying; they are quite extensive.”
“First, fire attribute cultivators can refine it into their destiny fire, greatly increasing their strength. Even cultivators in the refining soul realm regard this flame as a treasure.”
“Secondly, it is well known that alchemical refinement and artifact crafting require a fire seed of the fire attribute, and the best way to control the temperature is to use an ice attribute fire seed to rapidly, even suddenly, lower the temperature, allowing for precise control over the fire temperature during alchemical refinement and crafting.”
“It can be seen how crucial ice attribute fire seeds are for alchemists and artifact crafters! Moreover, this Purple Sea Mysterious Flame is a supreme treasure grade fire seed, surpassing the spirit grade!”
“To be honest, this fire seed was obtained by one of our elders from Huangfu Shengxing, who risked being attacked by powerful demon beasts to enter the Heavenly Punishment Purple Sea to collect it!”
“The vast uses of the Purple Sea Mysterious Flame cannot be fully expressed in a few words by this old man. In short, what is meant by a valuable item with no market? That would be the Purple Sea Mysterious Flame!”
Listening to Dantai Zhongde's long-winded speech, Tan Yun really wanted this old guy to just shut up; he was being too verbose!
In contrast, the hundreds of thousands of inner sect disciples in the first-floor hall were listening eagerly, looking at Dantai Zhongde with admiration in their eyes.
“Alright, that's enough talk!” Dantai Zhongde's clear voice echoed through Huangfu Shengxing, “The Purple Sea Mysterious Flame starts at a low price of two billion Low-Grade Spirit Stones, with each bid not to be less than ten million. The auction is now officially open!”
As his voice fell, a burst of spiritual power shot from Dantai Zhongde's fingertip into the blue-patterned giant bell in the air.
“Dong——”
With the sound of the bell, immediately, except for the 88 private rooms on the sixth floor and the 36 supreme VIP pavilions on the seventh floor which were silent, the private rooms, pavilions, and luxury suites from the second to fifth floors erupted in a frenzy of bidding:
“Two billion ten million!”
“Two billion fifty million!”
“Two billion ninety million!”
“Two billion one hundred fifty million!”
“……”
“Five billion eighty million!” When someone on the fifth floor shouted such a high price, the floors below went quiet!
Dantai Zhongde was smiling, a confident smile on his face, as his gaze drifted to the sixth floor's private rooms and the seventh floor's supreme pavilions.
He knew that at Huangfu Shengxing's monthly auction, eighty percent of the inner sect's nine lineage elders would come to participate!
Because many of the auctioned items were provided by the Huangfu headquarters, these items included many rare treasures that the elders of the inner sect could not find elsewhere!
And the Purple Sea Mysterious Flame was one of them!
“Sixty billion!” Suddenly, after a brief silence, someone in the sixth-floor private room directly raised the price to sixty billion!
It was clear that this person understood the true value of the Purple Sea Mysterious Flame!
“Seventy billion!” Someone spoke from the seventh-floor supreme VIP pavilion.
Immediately, intense bidding started between the sixth and seventh floors:
