"Two Taiyi Xuanxian?" Qin Jun asked in surprise, causing Tang Sanzang and Jiu Tou Chong to furrow their brows.
Liu Ruolai was also taken aback. How could they encounter Taiyi Xuanxian so easily after meeting Qin Jun?
"One of them is very strong, even I couldn't see through him!" Yang Jian squinted his eyes and looked in a certain direction.
The VIP room was covered on all sides by gauze, making it impossible to see inside from the outside, but everything outside could be seen from inside.
Following Yang Jian's gaze, they saw that there was no movement in VIP room number fourteen.
Qin Jun subconsciously used his divine sense to probe, but was bounced back by a strange force.
At the same time, inside room number fourteen, there sat a handsome man with green hair. He was dressed in a red-trimmed cloud-patterned robe, and his fair face exuded a sinister aura. He wore a white jade crown on his forehead and seemed to sense the gaze of Qin Jun and the others, turning his head to look at VIP room number seven.
"Huh? This aura, it's so familiar..."
The man with green hair exclaimed in doubt, while the two maids behind him began to whisper softly in his ear, even reaching out to touch his chest.
He did not resist, but instead embraced the two maids, acting wantonly.
"He looks a lot like someone who's dead, but it couldn't be him..." The man with green hair muttered to himself, a look of reminiscence and unwillingness appearing on his face, recalling the great battle from the past. He couldn't help but show a hint of nostalgia and unwillingness in his eyes.
Even though that man was dead, he was still a nightmare for him.
In VIP room number seven, Qin Jun chuckled softly, "Forget it, let's not bother with him, as long as he doesn't oppose us."
There were many powerful people in the world, and Qin Jun couldn't possibly kill them all.
As long as there were no conflicts of interest, everyone could go their separate ways.
Yang Jian nodded, while Tang Sanzang smiled and asked, "The other Taiyi Xuanxian is only in the early stage and poses no threat. He should be the owner of the Iron Court."
Border Sea City was already one of the important cities in the Eastern Flame Domain, and the Iron Court was even able to connect with many major forces. If the leader of the Iron Court did not have outstanding strength, it would not be able to hold its ground.
It had to be said that the power gap between the Southern Domain and the Eastern Flame Domain was so great that even Qin Jun felt embarrassed.
But the Southern Domain had never been harassed by strong domains like the Eastern Flame Domain, except for the terrifying Southern Sea blocking the way, there might be other reasons.
As time passed, more and more cultivators gathered in the Iron Court, and the noise grew louder.
Qin Jun enjoyed the massage from the exotic women, feeling relaxed.
"Respected seniors and heroes, tonight's auction is about to begin. Tonight, you will see treasures such as eighth-grade magic ships, ancient magic scrolls, night orchids, and other treasures that you cannot find elsewhere!"
At that moment, a soft and beautiful female voice rang out, covering the entire venue, causing everyone to look towards the high platform. A beautiful woman in a tight cheongsam was smiling at everyone, her face like a peach blossom, her body as ripe as a peach, causing many male cultivators present to feel dry-mouthed.
"Tsk tsk, the traditional clothing of the Great Huaxia has even developed in the foreign world," Qin Jun marveled, but he was not surprised, because this world was very similar to ancient China on Earth, even the language spoken was Chinese and the characters written were various ancient Chinese characters.
With so many strange things happening, he had become accustomed to it. Only when he reached the peak could he see the truth of the world.
"Enough with the nonsense, let's move on. Next, we will begin the auction of the first treasure!"
The cheongsam woman smiled and raised her right hand. Behind her, the curtain was pulled back, and then a servant walked out holding a wooden tray covered with red cloth, concealing the contents inside.
Qin Jun looked on with his legs crossed, finding this position quite excellent as he could easily overlook the auction from the high platform.
The cheongsam woman lifted the red cloth, revealing a jade flute that appeared before everyone's eyes, crystal clear as if it had flowing light passing through it.
"This is a top-grade heavenly treasure, the Enchanting Sound Mist Flute. This item can control the will of enemies, including demons..."
Listening to the introduction of the jade flute, Qin Jun slightly pursed his lips. If it wasn't a magic treasure, it didn't catch his eye at all.
Once one's cultivation broke through the Earth Immortal realm, the effectiveness of magic treasures became minimal.
Magic treasures were different, ranging from postnatal magic treasures, prenatal magic treasures, postnatal spiritual treasures, prenatal spiritual treasures, postnatal supreme treasures, to prenatal supreme treasures, with increasing levels and greater power.
Even in the Eastern Flame Domain, spiritual treasures were extremely rare and hard to come by, almost all controlled by various major forces.
Qin Jun had quite a few spiritual treasures on him, and even some supreme treasures, but most of them were temporarily unusable because of his low cultivation level.
Lan Xiao, a very confused musician, was bought for 5,000 third-grade spirit stones.
At the Iron Court Auction, the unit of spirit stones was uniformly set as third-grade spirit stones. One third-grade spirit stone was equivalent to ten second-grade spirit stones, which in turn was equivalent to one hundred first-grade spirit stones.
Next up were all top-grade magical tools and martial arts techniques, but none of the nineteen VIP rooms had anyone bidding, as they all looked down on these items.
"It looks like the Grade Eight Law Ship will be the highlight," Qin Jun said, leaning on his chin with his right hand, looking bored.
Yang Jian, the Nine-Headed Bug, and Tang Sanzang glanced at each other and sipped their tea, seemingly not very interested in the auction.
On the other hand, Liu Ruo stood in front of the curtain, excitedly watching the bidding below.
"Do you know, I've always wanted to come to the Iron Court Auction, but I could only dream about it," Liu Ruo said to herself.
Although her father was the city lord, he only had the cultivation of a Heavenly Immortal and had no ability to bring her to the Border Sea City, nor did he have the financial means to buy her desired items at the Iron Court Auction.
The Border Sea City seemed harmonious on the surface, but in reality, people were dying every day, especially those who were wealthy.
Qin Jun and the others didn't look like ordinary people, and they were traveling together, so no one dared to make a move.
"Up next for auction is the Heart of the Fiery Dragon, a sacred treasure for body cultivation that can also enhance the fire attribute within the body!"
The woman in the cheongsam smiled, and this statement caught Qin Jun's attention.
His Indestructible Saintly Body had reached a bottleneck, and it was very difficult to find heavenly materials and earthly treasures in the Southern Domain that could enhance his physique.
He had heard of the Heart of the Fiery Dragon before. It was said that the Fiery Dragon was an eighth-grade demon beast, and if one could consume its heart, it would greatly enhance the physique, making it a sacred treasure for body cultivation.
He hadn't expected the Iron Court Auction to have obtained such a treasure.
"Starting bid, ten thousand third-grade spirit stones!" the woman in the cheongsam waved her hand and said with a smile.
"100,000!"
As soon as the woman in the cheongsam finished speaking, the first VIP room shouted, directly increasing the price tenfold.
"200,000!"
The third VIP room also spoke up, not wanting to show weakness, instantly raising the atmosphere in the venue.
This was the first time the VIP rooms had competed, making the ordinary cultivators too afraid to interrupt.
The Heart of the Fiery Dragon was of great help to body cultivation and fire cultivation, but for most cultivators, it was of no use, and they couldn't afford it either.
"500,000!"
Qin Jun lazily shouted, causing the commotion in the Iron Court to come to a sudden halt.
500,000 third-grade spirit stones!
Equivalent to 5 million second-grade spirit stones, 50 million first-grade spirit stones...
Everyone was stunned by Qin Jun's boldness. After all, the most valuable treasures had yet to be auctioned, and yet Qin Jun dared to call out this number. Either he was foolish, or his financial power was terrifying.
