"Uncle Zuo, did something extraordinary appear at the auction? Otherwise, I'm afraid it won't be able to attract you!”Lin Tian asked. Zuo Guoqiang nodded and then shook his head,""Rumor has it that there's a good item going to be auctioned, but I don't see it on this list!”"What is that thing?" Lin Tian asked curiously. "A key, a star key!”Zuo Guoqiang thought for a while and said in a low voice.
When Lin Tian wanted to ask what was so magical about the key, the auction had already begun.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Sotheby's Rare Auction. Today, we have prepared 208 rare treasures for you. I am Wang Qi, the auctioneer for this auction.”The auctioneer looked to be in his fifties or sixties, but his voice was loud and full of energy. Lin Tian could tell that he was still a martial artist with some internal energy, but his cultivation was not outstanding!
"Didn't they say that Shi Xuanxuan would perform before the auction?”Lin Tian frowned, and Zuo Yunfei's face was filled with disappointment!
Soon, the first auction item was presented.
"The first item is an ancient jade. This ancient jade is also a topaz with a hook. It was made during the Western Han Dynasty and used various techniques such as carving, shallow embossed, and shallow line engraving. The base price is 100,000 USD, and each increment must not be less than 10,000 USD. Please bid!”The auctioneer Wang Qi said loudly.
The bidding continued. The value of this topaz with a hook should be around 500,000 USD. With a starting price of 100,000 USD, there would naturally be many people bidding. In just 20 seconds, the bidding price had reached 400,000 USD. At this time, most people stopped bidding. They were rational investors. Once the auction price exceeded their psychological price, they would immediately stop bidding! As for the other bidders, they were divided into two categories. One was those who had made a mistake in their valuation. The current auction price did not reach their psychological price. The other was those who did not care about money at all!
"Seven hundred thousand dollars!" The voice came from the normal area. The people in the normal area might not be as noble as those in the VIP or super VIP areas, but those who could come here were not poor. Most of them could afford 700,000 US dollars!
Once this price was raised, no one else offered it. 700,000 US dollars was already a lot higher than its original value. There were quite a number of hooks from the West Flow era that had been passed down to this day. It was not worth spending money in vain.
"Is there anyone else bidding? Seven hundred thousand going once, seven hundred thousand going twice, seven hundred thousand going thrice! Sold. Congratulations to that gentleman, you have successfully won the first auction item!”Wang Qi said loudly.
"Uncle Zuo, I heard from Fourth Brother that before the auction, there was a performance by Shi Xuanxuan of the Compassionate Boathouse, right?”Lin Tian whispered to Zuo Guoqiang. " That's true." Zuo Guoqiang frowned and said," It's strange. I didn't see the rumored star key, and Shi Xuanxuan's performance was also gone!"”
Lin Tian said," Uncle Zuo, is it possible that the Star-shaped Key you mentioned has already been obtained by Cihang Jingzhai? And Shi Xuanxuan was originally prepared to snatch the Star-shaped Key. Since she has already obtained it, she must have already left!"”"It's very possible!" Zuo Guoqiang said.
Although Lin Tian's voice was low, it was still heard by many people nearby. Mitsui's expression changed slightly as he took out his phone and issued instructions one after another. The other people did the same. If not for the fact that the auction might suddenly increase the number of items, they might have stood up and left!
Seeing this situation, how could Lin Tian not understand that many of these super VIPs might be here for the star key! Lin Tian did not ask what the star key was for. Such information should be extremely confidential. With his relationship with Zuo Guoqiang, they were not that close. If he asked, if Zuo Guoqiang did not want to tell him, it would only increase the awkwardness!
"Xiao Ling, the person on Prince Schadt's right gives me a cold feeling!”Lin Tian said in his mind. "Master, you're wrong. The one on the right of Prince Sauder is not a human, but a vampire!”Xiao Ling said in Lin Tian's mind. "Do vampires really exist?" Lin Tianqi asked.”
"Master, what's so strange about this? There are many kinds of races in the universe. Even in the astral world, there are races with two heads, three hands, and four tails. When you see more of them, you won't find it strange anymore!”Xiao Ling said. "Xiao Ling, how strong is he?”Lin Tian asked.
"Strength, he should only be a low-level vampire, but compared to you, master, he is still much stronger, about the same as Zuo Yunfei!”Xiao Ling said," However, Master, you have the Wave Subtle Steps. If you just want to escape, there won't be any problem!”
"Xiao Ling, I actually have a question that I've always wanted to ask you. You should know of a cultivation technique like the Water Subtle Steps, right? Can't you just give it to me? Must I enter those worlds to learn by myself?”Lin Tian said in his mind. Xiao Ling giggled."Master, I thought you would be able to hold back and not ask. The situation is like this. Although I have accompanied the old master for many years, I am not the ring spirit of the Star Ring. Regarding the Astral World, I have some authority, but with your current spiritual power, you are unable to open it. In addition, I have a cultivation method, but only one. It is a peerless cultivation method that the old master left for you. The starting point of a peerless cultivation method is only a little higher. The old master doesn't want you to become a person who gains without sowing. Otherwise, you can directly leave a large amount of Realm Power in the Star Ring and become a super expert in a few days! As long as one gained power step by step, one would cherish it and not lose one's heart. This was the old master's original words. Master, do you have any questions about this?？”
"Yes, I do. When do I need to reach a certain level of fitness to be able to practice that peerless technique? Also, what is the name of that peerless technique?”Lin Tian said. "When your cell strength and cell vitality reach 10,000, and your spiritual energy reaches 6,000, you can start practicing. Although the old master had created the cultivation technique, he did not say the name. The master could take the name himself in the future!”
Lin Tian almost cried out in surprise. 10,000 cell strength and cell vitality, 6,000 spiritual power, this was too f * cking abnormal! His current cell strength and cell vitality were only at 150, and his spiritual power was only at 100, 10,000. How long would it take?! "Xiao Ling, are you sure you're right? 10,000 and not 1,000?" Lin Tian closed his eyes and said in his mind. "Master, 10,000 isn't a lot. You've only received the Star Ring for less than ten days, but you've already had 50 years of internal energy in the Heavenly Dragon's Eight Steps World. If you convert 50 years of internal energy into world power, it'll be 1250.”
