Chapter 1194: Chapter 1194: The Strong Ones in the Pseudo-Dan Realm

At the center of the auction, there was a square stone platform, spacious in area.

That place was not only the auction site but also where the competition after the auction would be held.

It wasn’t until this moment that a hoary old man in a black robe slowly stepped forward, and the entire auction instantly quieted down.

Ning Fan, upon seeing this elder, couldn’t help but be shocked.

This elder turned out to be a powerful person who had reached the Pseudo-Dan Realm.

The Chongxu Sect truly was no ordinary sect.

"This is the Second Elder of the Chongxu Sect, Xi Hu, who is also the host of this auction."

Fierce Lion mentioned this casually, yet purposefully.

Ning Fan knew that Fierce Lion was specifically explaining this for him.

A person in the Pseudo-Dan Realm could only serve as the Second Elder in the Chongxu Sect, so wouldn’t the Sect Master of the Chongxu Sect have already condensed a Golden Core and be a strong person in the Golden Core Realm?

At this time, Elder Xi Hu’s voice slowly drifted over.

"The rules of the auction, I presume most of you are already aware of."

"This auction will have thirty-six items up for bidding. Each item will naturally go to the highest bidder. After the auction ends, there will be a competition among Sect Disciples, and the winner may put forward a reasonable request to our Chongxu Sect, and as long as it is within our power, we will do our utmost to fulfill it."

"However, there is one main rule of the auction that I still need to mention, and that is that no private disputes are allowed here. Any violators will face execution by my own hands."

"Now, I hereby announce the official start of the auction, and the first item up for bid is called Blood Essence."

As Xi Hu’s words fell, a maid soon came up to the platform carrying an exquisite wooden box.

Xi Hu took the wooden box from her hand, and as the box opened, inside lay a stone that shimmered like a ruby, filled with terrifying fluctuations of Spiritual Energy.

"Blood Essence is a naturally occurring substance, almost taking a hundred years to form just one piece. It’s an excellent choice for crafting artifacts and puppets, and hence its price is naturally not low, starting at thirty medium-grade Spirit Stones."

Ning Fan felt a surge of excitement in his heart, he hadn’t expected the first item at the auction to be Blood Essence, which was one of the essential materials Elder Zhen Ling had mentioned.

Thirty medium-grade Spirit Stones was not a high price.

"Thirty."

Fierce Lion’s voice suddenly rang out.

Zhang Xiong glanced at Fierce Lion and sneered coldly.

"Fifty medium-grade Spirit Stones."

Fierce Lion’s expression immediately darkened, he knew Zhang Xiong was up to no good!

"Sixty medium-grade Spirit Stones!"

This time, the bid came from another Lower-Ranked Sect.

Without any hesitation, Fierce Lion spoke out, "Eighty."

The bidding continued while the Sect Master from the previously bidding Lower-Ranked Sect quickly chose to withdraw. Belonging to just a Lower-Ranked Sect, how could he dare compete with these middle-tier sects?

Miao Si glanced at Fierce Lion. By now, the price of Blood Essence had reached one hundred thirty medium-grade Spirit Stones, an amount close to a few months’ expenses for a Lower-Ranked Sect.

"Two hundred medium-grade Spirit Stones."

The moment this voice fell, everyone present was taken aback by such a price.

And the bidder was Zhang Xiong.

Fierce Lion, unfazed, spoke again,

"Two hundred thirty medium-grade Spirit Stones."

This time, Zhang Xiong didn’t immediately raise the price. Two hundred medium-grade Spirit Stones were already far beyond the value of the Blood Essence, and he needed the Spirit Stones he carried to purchase other items, thus he was not planning to waste more on this piece of Blood Essence.

"Two hundred thirty medium-grade Spirit Stones once."

"Two hundred thirty medium-grade Spirit Stones twice."

"Two hundred thirty medium-grade Spirit Stones three times, the Blood Essence goes to the Sect Master of Fierce Lion from the Four Sects Alliance."

Fierce Lion smiled satisfactorily and then glanced at Zhang Xiong.

Although two hundred thirty medium-grade Spirit Stones was a bit high, it was completely within his range of affordability.

At this moment, Zhen Ling’s voice transmitted into Ning Fan’s mind.

"Young Master, the price of Blood Essence was a bit high."

"No worries, as long as it’s something you need, Senior, the Spirit Stones I prepared are completely sufficient."

Zhen Ling’s voice fell silent.

The auction continued, and throughout the following bids, all important treasures were contested between the Hundred Beasts Sect and the Four Sects Alliance, while the other weaker sects merely watched as spectators.

Miao Si glanced at Fierce Lion. Fierce Lion had already spent thousands of medium-grade Spirit Stones, and the auction had proceeded halfway.

Given Fierce Lion’s nature, he would never be willing to spend so many Spirit Stones unless Ning Fan had provided him with the extra ones.

Ning Fan, a person from the lower realms, the only possibility was that he had obtained these Spirit Stones from the Secret Realm.

Without further thought, Miao Si focused once more on the auction.

At this moment, what appeared m
