bout their experiences, they were taken down to rest.As for Su Yang, Huang Junyan originally intended to have him replace Jiang Yun as the military commander and lead Yi Zheng and the others. However,...While these ten or so people were sizing up Jiang Yun, Jiang Yun was also subtly scanning the crowd with his eyes. Then, he turned his gaze to an old man with white hair sitting in the center of the hall.

The old man, with cultivation at the early stage of the Daotai realm, had a smile on his face and eyes that sparkled like electricity. He stood up, clasped his fist in greeting towards Jiang Yun, and said: "My name is Wang Yuanzhong. Welcome, fellow Daoist. However, there are still a few fellow Daoists who haven't arrived yet, so please find a place to sit down first and wait for a moment!"

Ginger Cloud clasped his fists in return, nodded, and without speaking, found a seat closer to the door.

As Jian Yun sat down, everyone naturally retracted their gazes. Only one middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties or fifties, with a sallow complexion and thin frame, continued to stare at Jian Yun, a gleam flashing in his eyes.

Looking at his appearance, it should be him. He has the cultivation of Heaven's Favor, fourfold. But Song Yue said that there is also a beautiful woman beside him, why didn't I see her Let me find a chance to probe him later!

In the hall, there were now nineteen people, including Jiang Yun. However, at this moment, no one spoke. Each person sat in their own place, some looking up at the sky, some meditating with closed eyes, and others deep in thought.

Looking at everyone's expressions, Jiang Yun could easily guess that most of the people here were, like himself, unfamiliar strangers who had come for a purpose.

Only a few, probably regulars!

However, these people's skills are not weak. Excluding myself, the weakest is at the Tianyou Fifth Realm, and there are as many as eleven Daoist realm cultivators.

That is to say, if we only look at cultivation realm, I am at the bottom of this group!

This discovery couldn't help but bring a slight smile to Ginger Cloud's face.

In the midst of everyone's anticipation, people continuously appear in the hall.

Not until thirty people had arrived did Wang Yuanzhong burst into laughter and say, "My friends, now that everyone is here, I know your time is precious. You all came to my Wang family because of the auction items, so let's get straight to the point."

“However, we have many new friends here today who may not know the rules of Wang's Auction House. So let me give you a brief introduction.”

"It's called a rule, but there's not really any rule. It's just a simple exchange of money for goods."

"Anything you gentlemen set your eyes on, just make an offer! The highest bidder gets it!"

"Furthermore, if any of you have something you wish to auction, please bring it out. My Wang family will not inquire about its origins and can handle the auction for you."

“You can either auction off the spirit stones, barter for them, or even have my Wang Family purchase them on your behalf. Once a deal is made, my Wang Family will take a 10% commission.”

Hearing this, Ginger Cloud's heart skipped a beat. The information he had gathered previously didn't mention this at all, and now it seemed that this was probably the real reason why so many people came here.

Large auctions maintain relatively strict records for all auctioned items. This makes it difficult for cultivators who have obtained items through illicit means to participate in the auction.

For example, if things stolen from large clans or influential families were put up for auction, with so many people around, there's a chance they could be recognized.

Once someone is recognized, not only will the person who brings the items to auction be punished, but the organizers of the auction will definitely be implicated.

However, the Wang family provided an opportunity for these things, although a consistent commission price was a bit expensive, it was much better than letting them rot in their own hands.

To put it bluntly, the Wang family is a place to sell stolen goods!

Wang Yuanzhong continued, "Our Wang family's auction has been held for hundreds of years. It is all thanks to the care of our new and old friends. So, I have to say something unpleasant beforehand."

"If any fellow cultivator dares to scheme and seize things by force relying on their cultivation, then don't blame the Wang family for being impolite!"

At this point, Wang Yuanzhong's face suddenly turned cold. As a powerful Daotai expert, his aura had spread out, enveloping everyone in the hall and creating a heavy sense of oppression.

However, after a fleeting moment, the pressure vanished, and Wang Yuanzhong's face once again broke into a smile. "Alright everyone, the auction is officially beginning," he announced.

"The first item, the Cauldron of the Hidden Dragon!"

As he spoke, a three-legged black cauldron the size of his palm appeared in Wang Yuanzhong's hand.

Clear and visible, the four sides of the body are each carved with a black dragon. Lifelike and vivid, they seem to be living creatures.

"This cauldron is just like its name, with dragon blood hidden within. Whether it's used for refining medicine or weapons, it will elevate the grade of both. The price is five thousand and five high-grade spirit stones!"

The Jiao Long, although not a true dragon, is also an extremely rare mythical beast.

Therefore, as Wang Yuanzhong's voice fell, it immediately caught the attention of several people in the hall, and these people were either alchemists or weapon smiths.

As for Jiang Yun, he merely glanced at the Canglong Ding before withdrawing his gaze, showing no interest whatsoever.

Don't even talk about the blood of a dragon. He had actually seen real dragons, and even fought them.

Instead of spending five thousand spirit stones to buy a few drops of dragon blood, it's better to obtain them directly from the Jiao monster.

"$5,500!"

"Five thousand eight hundred!"

Although Ginger Cloud doesn't mind, several people have already started bidding.

After several rounds of bidding, the dragon-phoenix tripod was finally bought by an old man.

The elder directly threw out a storage bag. Wang Yuanzhong took it and after scanning it with his divine sense, he threw the Canglong Ding to the other party as well.

"Congratulations to Xu Daoyou on obtaining this tripod. It's a good start for our auction."

"The second item up for auction is watercloud silk, an extremely precious material for refining artifacts."

Thus, Wang Yuanzhong continuously took out various items for auction.

Although each item cannot be said to be a priceless treasure, they are all quite rare and have extraordinary origins. As soon as they are taken out, they will be bought by someone.

Jiang Yun, of course, had not haggled from beginning to end. His only goal in coming here was the black stone.

Finally, in Wang Yuanzhong's palm appeared a black stone, only the size of a walnut, irregularly shaped.

The instant he saw the black stone, Jiang Yun could be 100% certain that this was a piece of the Dao Seal!

Wang Yuanzhong smiled and said: "Before you all came here, I believe you have already received the news. The finale item of this Wang family auction is this black stone."

"To be honest, this stone was entrusted to us for auction by a friend of mine. However, he didn't tell me anything special about it. I guess it's meant for the right person!"

However, I think that among those present, perhaps someone here knows this stone, so I agreed to auction it for him.

"The starting bid, 100,000 Grade Five Spirit Stones!"

Wang Yuanzhong's reported price left almost everyone in the room speechless for a moment.

Because this price is the highest price at this auction.

If you know the function of the stone, then this price is not too high after all. After all, those who can sit here are all wealthy individuals.

But obviously, with so many people present, no one recognized this black stone.

Spending so many spirit stones on a stone whose special features even Wang Yuanzhong didn't know about, made them all shake their heads in secret. No one wanted to be the sucker.

Thus, silence fell over the hall.

Jiang Yun calmly surveyed the surroundings and didn't rush. He waited until Wang Yuanzhong's face showed disappointment, preparing to speak, before he calmly said: "100,500 pieces!"

First published on the Traditional Chinese Novel Network paused his thoughts, fixing his gaze intently on the scene.Another long period of time passed, and once again a massive shadow appeared in the darkness.The shadow remained blurry and indistinct, and...
