The next morning.
Early in the morning, Tong Shan knocked on Gu Xi’s door.
“Do we need to continue watching today’s competition?” Tong Shan asked without hesitation.
As expected, Gu Xi shook his head without even thinking.
To him, observing his opponent was just a waste of time.
Tong Shan was not very surprised by Gu Xi’s response. He chuckled and continued, “I thought that you will be like this. In that case, why don’t you come with me to the auction?”
“Auction?” Gu Xi could not help but feel a little uncertain when he heard this.
Tong Shan nodded. He immediately revealed a profiteer’s smile as he explained, “The Grand Sect Competition is currently a grand event. All the heroes in the world have gathered here. Naturally, it is also a good opportunity to profit.”
Gu Xi was stunned for a moment before coming to a sudden realization.
One could say that the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion could become the number one Chamber of Commerce in the world. Currently, the flow of people in Lanjiang City could be said to have reached its peak. Taking advantage of this opportunity to participate in an auction, one could only say that this was making a fortune out of this was a certainty.
Gu Xi did not think any further. Under Tong Shan’s lead, the two of them quickly arrived at the somewhat dark hall. This was the venue where the auction was held.
The hall was spacious, and it was the largest auction venue Gu Xi had ever seen in her life.
Tong Shan, who was standing at the side, obviously noticed the surprise in Gu Xi’s eyes. He smiled and explained, “In order to cater to the competition this time, we specially sent people to expand a part of the auction hall. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be able to accommodate too many people.”
“I see. With more people, there will naturally be more people bidding.” Gu Xi suddenly understood and smiled. The meaning in his words was self-evident.
Tong Shan also smiled a little awkwardly. Although the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion had come to participate in this Grand Sect Competition, it was still a Chamber of Commerce. Naturally, it would not easily let go of such a good opportunity to earn money.
People entered one after another at the gate. Gu Xi glanced around and found that most of these people were people who had come to participate in the competition. He even saw Zhan Hong and a group of Zhan Clan disciples.
As for the traces of Xie Long and his group from the Ancient Sect, he did not find them. However, after what had happened last night, Xie Long probably did not dare to stay in Lanjiang City any longer.
As time slowly passed, the seats in the hall were soon filled. There were more than a thousand people in the hall, and those who could attend the auction at this time were definitely not good people.
Soon, the lights in the hall gradually became brighter, and a figure appeared on the stage. Upon closer inspection, it was Tang Conglin.
“I didn’t expect Pavilion Master Tang to personally host the auction.” Gu Xi was a little surprised to see Tang Conglin in white.
“Those who can attend this auction are all influential figures on the mainland. The person hosting the auction shouldn’t be a nobody.” Tong Shan smiled. If the venue of the auction was in Jingyang City, he would be the one hosting the auction.
At the same time, Tang Conglin began his speech. His gaze swept across the crowd below. He paused for a moment when he passed Tong Shan and Gu Xi. Then, he said, “I’m glad that all of you are here to attend the auction held by our Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion. Since it’s the time of the Grand Sect Competition and time is precious, I won’t waste any more time.”
“Now, let’s welcome our first item.”
Tang Conglin waved his hand, and a handmaiden with the best looks and figure immediately pushed a small cart up from backstage. A layer of gray cloth covered the cart, obscuring everyone’s sight. The cloth bulged slightly, making people curious about the item below.
Gu Xi was also extremely curious. Logically speaking, the first item to be auctioned should be an item of considerable value. Moreover, the identities of the people participating in this auction were all extraordinary. It was just that he did not know what kind of good item the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion would bring out.
Gu Xi’s eyes moved. Immediately, a faint spiritual sense floated out from his mind and slowly swept towards the position of the small cart on the stage. However, when this spiritual sense approached the gray cloth, it was unable to take another step forward, it was as if there was something invisible obstructing and restricting his spiritual sense.
“There’s no need to waste your effort. Although this cloth looks ordinary on the surface, this thing is a special spirit tool that our Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion spent a lot of effort to develop. As long as it is covered over any object, then it will hide all the aura of that object. Of course, this isn’t absolute. If your spiritual sense is strong enough to ignore the function of this spirit tool, then it will be just an ordinary piece of cloth.”
Tong Shan seemed to have sensed Gu Xi’s spiritual sense and spoke unhurriedly.
Hearing this, Gu Xi also tactfully withdrew his spiritual sense. Since his spiritual sense had not been able to identify what the first item was, it was obvious that his spiritual sense had not reached the level that Tong Shan had described. If he continued, it would only be a waste of energy.
Of course, there were quite a number of people present who were as curious as Gu Xi. If anyone could see the existence of spiritual sense, they would discover that the gray cloth was currently surrounded by a dense spiritual sense, there were no less than a hundred of them.
“I think everyone needs this first item.”
Tang Conglin smiled and said. He placed his big hand on the gray cloth and pulled it open, revealing the item underneath. “This is a defensive spirit tool. It’s called the Whale Bone Shield. It’s an earth-grade intermediate spirit tool. It’s made from the bones of the Blackwater Mystic Whale, whose strength is comparable to the mid-stage Saint. It’s said that its defensive power is enough to withstand a full-strength attack from a mid-stage or even late-stage Saint cultivator.”
As soon as these words were said, the eyes of everyone present lit up, and they were all eager to give it a try. It must be known that at this time of the Grand Sect Competition, if one could obtain a defensive spirit tool with extraordinary defensive power, then it would be a good guarantee for the disciples participating in the competition.
To be able to withstand a full-strength attack from a mid-stage or late-stage Saint, the defensive power of the Whale Bone Shield was self evident. And this kind of defensive power might become a key turning point in the competition!
