Time went by extremely fast, an hour before the auction start and the whole of the seats inside the Dragon Gate Treasured Pavilion was full.

"To all our esteemed guests, we would like to request that only one can accompany you inside the auction house."

The staff from the Dragon Gate Treasured Pavilion couldn't help it, there are still a few hundred guests that want to enter, the major and great clans were already occupying the 2nd floor, even the Ye Family had came themselves.

A total of 1,500 chairs, all occupied, the amount of gathering power Mo Xie's items had garnered is truly tremendous.

Another hour had pa.s.sed, all of the Clans and major powers in the City had finally gathered.

"Everyone, there are a total of 10 batches for today's auction, I welcome all of you to bid to your heart's content! there will be no price to start!"

The Auctioneer is an old man named Ma Dong, he seemed to be at the age of 70, although he looks normal, he's actually a 2-star Black gold ranked pract.i.tioner, one of the few peak experts in the Gangting City.

In the whole of the Gangting City, Black Gold ranked pract.i.tioners are of small quant.i.ty, only about 50 to 60, the Ye Family, as the overlord of the City actually has 10, the remaining 50 are scattered through the major powers.

"The first item will be this weapon." Ma Dong placed the weapon in the table, immediately, all of the people frowned.

A normal weapon as the first item?

Ma Dong saw the frowning faces of the crowd, he then chuckles and spoke: "This is not a mere normal weapon, this is actually an artifact, able to release seven powerful slashes, one that can instantly kill a 5-star gold ranked pract.i.tioner with ease, to those of the above rank, it will also help in dealing with them."

A lot of people immediately felt enlightened, some of the more powerful experts started to ponder about it.

Even a black gold ranked pract.i.tioner will have a hard time in killing a 5-star gold ranked warrior, although he will succeed, he will take a few minutes to do so, but with a weapon like this, it will be like having the skill of a black gold ranked pract.i.tioner aiding them with seven strikes!

"20 gold coins!" One of them started to bid.

"25 gold coins!" Another followed up.

"1 Gold tael!"

The bid started to escalate, and the final bid ended with a lone expert of 10-star gold ranked expert for 7 gold taels.

Two more other weapons were sold in succession after that, for 10 and 12 gold taels each.

"Now now, it seemed a lot of people are trying to conserve as big as they can for the scroll, for the next item, I will sell one of them!"

Hearing Ma Dong's words, all of them started to antic.i.p.ate.

"This is an attacking skill of gold ranked peak-level skill, its name is 'Eight Illusion Sword' strike, as the name states, it is creating illusion of swords in front of the enemy while hiding the real one as you fight, all of these illusions will seem real after practicing it to the peak, providing a huge advantage to whoever had learned it, the bid will start now, same rule applies, bid to your heart's content!"

As soon as Ma Dong's voice faded, a voice sounded.

"w.a.n.g Clan, 10 gold taels!"

Hearing this, everyone shuddered, 10 gold taels right off the bat!

"Shen Clan, 15 gold taels!"

"16 gold taels!" A lone cultivator had started to bid too.

"20 gold taels! Su Clan!"

Everyone felt excited, although some could afford it, they wouldn't want to offend someone from the great Clan's of Gangting City.

The bidding war between the great clans and the lone cultivators became fiercer and fierce until it ended with the w.a.n.g Clan winning the bid for 71 gold taels.

After that, three more weapons were sold for 21, 24, and 33 gold taels, it became clear of the benefits after that.

Then, another gold ranked peak-level skill were sold for 204 gold taels by the Su Clan, this skill is a movement skill, the 'Willowing Mirage Steps', able to create illusions of a person due to its unpredictable path and speed, making the enemy lose focus, a very great skill for a one versus one fight.

"For the 9th item, it will be an Earth-ranked low-level Defensive skill! Its name is 'Iron Bull's mountain armor', There is a mystery to it though, it has some things describe without that we couldn't make out with, with a minimum cultivation level of gold rank, so long as one cultivates it to the perfection, he will gain the defense that can withstand an attack coming from five 6-star black gold cultivator without taking a single damage!

But the part that confuses us is, 'as one merge with demon spirit of the 'iron bull demon beast' the effect of this skill will double! being able to take a direct hit from a 10-star black-gold ranked expert without a single scratch!"

Hearing this, a lot of people started to ask their friends or elders, none of them couldn't make an answer too.

"Hahaha, I guess this is the limit of a country b.u.mpkin city!"

A voice resounded through the whole auction house, everyone directed their attention at the root of the voice.

A young man wearing a white robe with a badge embedded on his right chest, the badge has a design of three swords pointing at the sky as it is planted on top of a single mountain.

"Supreme Sword Sect!" Ma Dong couldn't help but exclaim.

"Wha!" Everyone, including the head of the great Clan's, couldn't help but be shocked.

Then, a person stood up and bowed as he spoke: "I'm the head of the w.a.n.g Clan, w.a.n.g Jixue, May I know what the esteemed guest had come to this humble City for?"

w.a.n.g Jixue, the patriarch of the strongest Clan in the Gangting City, but even with his status, he needs to respectfully bow to a child that is young enough to be his grandson.

With just that, everybody can already see what kind of power the Supreme Sword Sect holds, it is also a form for w.a.n.g Jixue to warn others not to carelessly offend this person.

"Nothing much, I just want to take a stroll in this low-cla.s.s village of yours, and.." A mocking expression can be seen in this young man as he paused and looked at w.a.n.g Jixue in disdain and continued.

"Do I need your permission to visit this rundown town?"

w.a.n.g Jixue couldn't even rebuke, he became speechless, even though he is a 6-star black gold ranked pract.i.tioner, with the background of the other person, he wouldn't even dare to look down on him.

All of the Black gold ranked pract.i.tioner can clearly see the cultivation of the young man, at the age of 19 but already stepped into 1-star black gold ranked pract.i.tioner, and there are four people behind him that they couldn't see the cultivation of, only w.a.n.g Jixue, and another person in the crowd can.

That person stood up as he spoke: "I'm Ye Xuefeng, the Lord of this City, this is the territory of the Northern Star Sect, I wish to know the reason of these esteemed guests reason for coming to our humble 'village' of ours.

Ye Xuefeng's tone carried no hint of respect nor arrogance, but he still carried himself as the City Lord of the Gangting City.

A frown can be seen in the face of the young man before he chuckles and replied: "My name is Zuo Tian, a core disciple of the Supreme Sword Sect, a direct disciple of an elder, I brought some escort to temper myself, but I caught a news about some treasure, so I had decided to show myself for a bit."

Zuo Tian then looked around and spoke: "But I didn't think that a mere trash can actually attract so much attention, my time here is wasted, hahaha."

Xuefeng frowned hearing such words, but he also couldn't rebuke it too, the difference between the power of the City and the Supreme Sword Sect is like that of an ant facing a behemoth, he couldn't take the risk of offending such a character.

But just when everyone felt enraged, a voice suddenly sounded.

"Tempering yourself, yet bringing bodyguards with you?" The voice had a mocking tone and carried with it is disdain as it directed to Zuo Tian, he then continued.

"Hahaha, what? you want to let your bodyguards handle the deed that you can not do yourself?"
