Ning Luo had specially changed into an unremarkable set of clothes and found a bamboo hat to put on so that people from the Xuanyuan Palace wouldn't easily recognize her.

When the two of them arrived outside the auction house, their heads were already pounding.

The Yihong trading company had specially arranged for two entrances. One would be the exclusive entrance to the eight super powers, while the other would be the entrance to other people.

At this moment, there was a long queue at the exclusive entrance.

"Even the disciples of the Sky Desolate War Institution are here. It seems like this auction item is worth looking forward to!"

Ning Luo recognized that those disciples were at the back of the line, all wearing the Celestial Desolate War Institution's uniform.

A little earlier, he was a disciple of the Myriad Evil Hall.

The Ten Thousand Evil Temple wasn't too far away from Phoenix City, it was similar to the Ten Thousand Devil Mountain. Ning Luo had expected that they would come here.

On the other hand, the Heaven Desolate War Institution was located in the Northern Heavens Continent. They did not hesitate to travel thousands of miles to reach this place. This meant that this auction was definitely not a simple one.

According to what Hong Yuan said, he had even met the disciples of the Ascension Sect yesterday. He did not know if they had already entered the stage or not.

When all the disciples of the Desolate Heavenly Battle Clan had entered the arena, Ning Luoluo and Hong Yuan then leisurely made their way to the entrance. After simply confirming their identities, they were allowed to enter the arena.

The auction house was divided into a main hall on the first floor and a private room on the second floor. The seats in the main hall were free, but the private rooms required extra fees.

Ning Luo thought about it for a while, then decided to head to the second floor to find a private room so there wouldn't be too many problems.

After spending fifty taels of silver, they chose a remote booth. The two of them sat inside, drank tea and waited quietly for the auction to start.

Lowering his head to look at the main hall on the first floor, he saw that there were already quite a number of people seated there. The disciples from the Heavenly Desolate War Institution were seated below, right below their private box.

Continuing his inspection, very soon, he saw the silhouettes of a few Beast Master Palace disciples sitting at the center of the hall.

The rest were all people outside of the eight great forces. Some were large cultivation families, some were merchant guilds, and as for rogue cultivators, they were very few in number.

As time passed, the great hall was quickly filled to the brim, yet he still could not see the silhouettes of the disciples of the other super powers.

In other words, it was very possible that the disciples of the Myriad Evil Temple, the Ascension Sect, and the Xuanyuan Palace were the same as them.

This was really a narrow path for enemies to walk!

Ning Luo smiled bitterly as he rubbed his nose. He hoped that he wouldn't run into her in the future, otherwise, it might lead to a dispute.

The main culprit was a disciple of the Xuan Yuan Palace. Although he had once been on bad terms with the Myriad Evil Temple and the Ascension Sect in the Martial Sky Ancient Tomb, they might not be able to recognize him.

As for the disciples of the Mystical Maiden Mountain and the Clear Wind Temple, no one knew.

"BOOM!"

The loud and clear sound of the bell echoed throughout the hall.

The auction was about to begin.

From the curtain behind the tall platform, a red figure slowly walked out. It was graceful and charming and it attracted the gazes of everyone present.

The woman was around 30 years old, and her inflated upper body and protruding buttocks gave off a familiar feeling.

This woman was the host of tonight's auction. She was the famous, sky-high auctioneer of the Yihong trading company, Shen Zhuyuan.

It was said that whenever an auction hosted by Shen Zhui Yuan, at least one item would be auctioned off at a sky-high price.

Shen Zhuyuan was wearing a long, red dress. The hem of her dress was slightly crossed, and as she moved, she would occasionally reveal a piece of white lotus root, making people drool.

The men cast their greedy and passionate gazes at her, and the young men's faces flushed red as their breathing quickened.

The majority of the women scoffed, while the rest were envious, jealous, and resentful.

Shen Zhuyuan had long since gotten used to these gazes. She leisurely walked to the center of the stage and stood before the auction table, her red lips slightly parted as she revealed a smile.

"Shu Yuanyuan, on behalf of Yi Hong, would welcome all honored guests to this auction. I hope that everyone will be able to purchase their favorite products."

As the sound of his voice faded, the sound of applause rang out.

Ning Luo slowly withdrew her gaze, bored to death, she picked up the tea and drank it.

Hong Yuan had never seen such a scene before, especially when he saw a woman like Shen Zhui Yuan. She was staring at him without blinking, as if her soul had been attracted to him.

Compared to Hua Wushuang, Shen Zhuyuan was still slightly inferior.

"Senior brother Hong Yuan, please raise the bid later."

Ning Luo's words were like a clear spring. When they entered Hong Yuan's ears, it instantly cleared his mind and caused his breathing to become normal.

Falling into a daze, Hong Yuan turned his head to look at Ning Luo with an awkward expression, his eyes filled with puzzlement.

Regardless of whether it was Hong Yuan or Ning Luo, they both had relatively limited silver taels on them. It would not be easy for them to obtain anything from such a large-scale auction.

Therefore, some strategies were needed.

In the beginning, the value of those things must have been limited. However, since they were able to join the auction, it meant that the Yi-Hong Trading Company was sure that someone would want them.

Furthermore, the host of this auction was Shen Zhuyuan. There was no need to worry about the auction.

What Ning Luo and the rest needed to do was to raise the price as high as possible. Only by doing so would they be able to get some items later on.

Hong Yuan seemed to not understand this, but since Ning Luo's words made sense, he nodded and agreed to do as she said.

Thus, from the second item, Hong Yuan and Ning Luo joined in the fray.

After the duo's coaxing and Shen Zhui Yuan's bewitching introductions, the third item was auctioned off. It was sold for a sky-high price that far surpassed its value.

For this reason, the Yikong Trading Company even sent someone to bring them some fruits, saying that it was a gift from another customer.

Ning Luo didn't reject any of them. She accepted them all anyway.

While the two of them were eating the fruit, the fourth item was quickly sold and the price wasn't low either.

"Everyone, the next item to be auctioned is a medicinal pill."

After saying that, Shen Zhui Yuan paused for a moment. When everyone's attention was focused on her, she continued, "This pill was concocted by the Stone King. It's an exceptional pill."

The hall was silent for a few breaths, and then a wave of exclamations broke out.

Regardless of whether it was the name of the Pill King, or the quality of the pills, it was enough to drive everyone into a frenzy.

As one of the Five Great Medicine Kings of the prehistoric continent, the Stone Core King was very famous in the East Continent. Every year, the Myriad Demons Sect would ask the Stone Core King to make a large amount of pills.

Although the Stone Core King lived in the Eastern Profound Divine Continent, due to the extremely high quality of the pills he refined, many people were extremely eager to see the pills he refined.

Moreover, the most important thing was that the grade of this pill had already been appraised twice by the Yihong Trading Company and its quality had reached an extreme level.
