In the box opposite, the killing eagle Blood was sitting on a beast fur seat with a gloomy and icy face. The surrounding atmosphere was exceptionally heavy. "Seven million Lower Grade Spirit Stones!" Blood Passage Hand Luo Hua bid again. As a Guiyuan Realm Fifth Layer expert, his wealth was at least thirty to forty million Lower Grade Spirit Stones. Several million Spirit Stones were not enough to deter him. However, at this moment, he had secretly noted down the numbers of Chu Ming’s and the killing eagle Blood’s boxes. Whoever dared to oppose him had never survived more than three days. "Eight million Lower Grade Spirit Stones!" The killing eagle Blood bid. As the core disciple of the Blood Saber Sect, his wealth was undoubtedly substantial. "Nine million Lower Grade Spirit Stones!" "Ten million Lower Grade Spirit Stones!" "..." ... As the bidding continued, the Guiyuan Realm Martial Artists in the hall were all stunned. A Profound Level High Tier Secret Technique had actually caused a frenzy among the crowd. In just a few breaths, the bidding price for the Blood Burning Technique had reached twenty million Lower Grade Spirit Stones, and the price was still rising. At this moment, the elderly man with graying hair on the high platform was already beaming with joy. A Profound Level High Tier Secret Technique had reached such a high price, and with the final highlight treasure, the Black Nether Stone, the flow of spirit stones in this auction might break previous records. The commission he would receive was naturally considerable. "Twenty-five million Lower Grade Spirit Stones!" Chu Ming’s clear voice overshadowed the previous prices at once. Inside the box, his brows furrowed. The bidding price for the Blood Burning Technique had exceeded his expectations, but spirit stones were, after all, external things. When faced with a threat to life, the Blood Burning Technique was more fitting. "Twenty-six million Lower Grade Spirit Stones!" Blood Passage Hand Luo Hua bid again, but inside his box, he looked frenzied, with terrifying bloodthirst flashing in his eyes. He attended this auction for the Black Nether Stone. At this rate, even if he won the Blood Burning Technique, his remaining wealth would be insufficient to bid for the Black Nether Stone. "Twenty-seven million Lower Grade Spirit Stones!" Chu Ming bid again, and the killing eagle Blood had already given up. He was also reserving his spirit stones for the final bid for the Black Nether Stone. Blood Passage Hand leaned back on the beast fur chair with a cold face, his eyes on Chu Ming’s box, his killing intent almost tangible. The elderly man with graying hair on the platform saw that Blood Passage Hand Luo Hua was no longer bidding, and a hint of regret flashed in his eyes. However, as an excellent auctioneer, his emotions quickly passed. In the end, the Blood Burning Technique was won by Chu Ming for twenty-seven million Lower Grade Spirit Stones. "The sixty-sixth auction item, a Sixth Level Spiritual Medicine, Dragon and Snake Grass..." Instantly, a maid came out from the back, carrying a tray. The elderly man with graying hair unveiled a red cloth, revealing a spiritual medicine on it, exuding considerable spiritual power, clearly quite precious. Bang bang bang! At this moment, the door of Chu Ming’s box was suddenly knocked on. "Come in!" Chu Ming said calmly. Click! A middle-aged man in black, gold-edged robes walked in, with an ordinary face, holding a yellowing book in his hand. "Sir, this is the item you just won!" The middle-aged man handed the yellowing book to Chu Ming. Chu Ming picked up the Blood Burning Technique, checked it, then took out twenty-seven million Lower Grade Spirit Stones from his Storage Ring and handed it to the middle-aged man. Click! After the middle-aged man left, Chu Ming placed the Blood Burning Technique into his Storage Ring and continued to pay attention to the auction. The auction had reached its later stage, with quite valuable items being auctioned. The attendees in the boxes frequently bid, achieving high prices. "The one hundred and twenty-third auction item, an Earth Level Middle Tier Martial Technique, Wave Flipping Slash. This technique implies overturning waves and seas, with up to fifty-four slashes layering. When cultivated to the Transformation Realm, it can rival Earth Level High Tier techniques. The starting price is twenty million Lower Grade Spirit Stones, with each bid increment not less than two hundred thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones. Now, let the bidding begin!" On the high platform, the elderly man with graying hair spoke eloquently. The crowd’s eyes, fixed on the Wave Flipping Slash, were equally fervent. In Black Mountain City, most Martial Artists were unaffiliated and scattered; otherwise, they wouldn’t have ended up in Black Mountain City. In Black Mountain City, the highest level technique was an Earth Level High Tier martial technique in the City Lord’s Mansion. The Wave Flipping Slash was already considered top-notch in Black Mountain City, making it natural for them to be so enthusiastic. "If I get this technique, my combat power will increase by at least thirty percent!" Blood Passage Hand Luo Hua’s eyes were burning as he looked at the Wave Flipping Slash. Although he excelled in palm techniques, with the right martial technique, he could easily switch to using a sword. Previously, no sword techniques had been worthwhile for him. "This sword technique will be mine, Blood Asura Sect Master Zong Ze!" In a certain box, a man with a gloomy look stared at the Wave Flipping Slash, muttering to himself. The man emanated a chilling aura, his eyes as venomous as a viper’s. Blood Asura Sect Master Zong Ze was also a Guiyuan Realm Fifth Layer expert in Black Mountain City. He had once destroyed dozens of low-level countries in the Celestial Realm and was eventually hunted by the Celestial Travel Sect, forcing him to flee to Black Mountain City. He had blood on his hands numbering in the millions. "A bunch of bumpkins, making a fuss over an Earth Level Middle Tier Martial Technique!" In the opposite box, the killing eagle Blood muttered disdainfully. As a Celestial Martial of the Blood Saber Sect, the techniques he cultivated were no weaker than the Wave Flipping Slash. Moreover, the techniques he practiced were chosen from the ancestors of the Blood Saber Sect, perfectly suited for him, with immense power. The Wave Flipping Slash didn’t pique Chu Ming’s interest either. "Twenty-one million Lower Grade Spirit Stones!" A clear voice rang out from a floating box. By now, the Martial Artists in the hall couldn’t even get a word in and had become mere spectators. "Heh, Zhao Xing, you’re dreaming if you think you can buy the Wave Flipping Slash for twenty million Lower Grade Spirit Stones. Twenty-five million Lower Grade Spirit Stones!" Blood Asura Sect Master Zong Ze’s eyes were cold, a sneer on his lips. An Earth Level Middle Tier Martial Technique had no market price. It could easily fetch at least forty million Lower Grade Spirit Stones. If converted to Middle Grade Spirit Stones, it was worth four hundred thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones. "Twenty-six million Lower Grade Spirit Stones!" Zhao Xing, an old man in black robes, looked at Blood Asura Sect Master Zong Ze, his eyes as sharp as an eagle’s. "Twenty-seven million Lower Grade Spirit Stones!" Blood Passage Hand Luo Hua bid! At this moment, ordinary Guiyuan Realm Fourth Layer Martial Artists didn’t dare to bid. Not just because of financial reasons; even if they won the Wave Flipping Slash, they would likely be hunted by numerous powerful swordsmen as soon as they stepped out of the auction hall. "Twenty-eight million Lower Grade Spirit Stones!" "Twenty-nine million Lower Grade Spirit Stones!" ...
