Upon entering the auction, someone naturally brought Qin Chen and the others to their own private box.
The black market auction venue is extremely secretive; even those who enter together won't know which box others are in. One could say the security here is very high.
"This box is practically worth a third of a Venerable's Holy Vein?" Gu Li Mo exclaimed.
Qin Chen and the others also entered the box. The entire box is quite simple; the overall environment is just average. At most, there are a few more restrictions, and regarding the size and the hospitality with the Holy Fruits, it's pretty average, almost no different from an ordinary auction.
For Qin Chen, this box worth a third of a Venerable's Holy Vein is a first. At first glance, it is indeed disappointing. This old dwarf also seems to be visiting for the first time, curiously looking around.
However, Qin Chen knows that the true value of this box is definitely not the box itself, but the treasures that will be auctioned in the auction. Such a large territory as the black market requires an astonishing amount of maintenance costs, and there are also top experts stationed here, all of which are costs.
Therefore, Qin Chen does not care much about the box itself. Even if there are Holy Fruits and Holy Wine in the box, he wouldn’t mind. The first thing he did after entering the box was to continuously set up various restrictions. No matter what, he would absolutely not allow anyone's divine sense to sweep into his box.
The auction venue is very large, almost entirely consisting of independent boxes situated in the void of the auction. Each box has strict restrictions outside, making it impossible to see the situation in other boxes.
All those attending the auction can only see one place, which is the auction stage in the center of the venue.
In addition, there is a large screen above the auction stage.
As soon as Gu Li Mo entered, he began pouring wine and eating the Holy Fruits. With such an expensive auction box, it's only right to eat something to recoup costs.
After Qin Chen set up the restrictions, he had sat for less than a quarter of an hour when a woman in red appeared in the center of the auction venue. She had a curvaceous figure and wore a veil, giving off a very capable and graceful aura. Even through the restrictions, Qin Chen could sense that this woman was a peak Human Venerable.
The host of the auction being a peak Human Venerable shows that the items in this auction will not be simple, and this black market is extremely extraordinary.
The woman in red stood on the circular stage in the center of the auction and performed a greeting to the surroundings before saying, "Fellow Daoists, those who can come here know that the black market auction sells various rare treasures. This auction will be divided into two sessions. The first session will auction three kinds of treasures to warm up, and after warming up, we will enter the real auction, totaling ten items, each of which is a treasure that can shock a clan."
As soon as this woman appeared, she gave a brief introduction.
It was said that this auction only had a total of thirteen treasures, three of which were just for warming up. From various boxes, noisy sounds could be heard.
Gu Li Mo and the others were dumbfounded; this is way too few, right?
Even Qin Chen was hearing for the first time that there was an auction that would only auction off about ten items.
"I won’t say much nonsense. Now, let’s start with the three warming-up treasures. The first item is a peak Human Venerable's treasure, the Inner Dao Armor. This Inner Dao Armor is made from the juvenile scales of a mature Tianhe Fish from the Nether River. Everyone has heard of the Tianhe Fish; it is very precious and extremely hard to catch. Its juvenile scales are very soft but have a high resistance. They can not only withstand physical attacks but are also capable of resisting soul-related impacts."
"This treasure can weaken the attacks of a peak Human Venerable by about thirty percent, whether physical or spiritual."
