Open up and break into another world

One expert after another, one force after another, gradually poured into the auction venue.

Those who could enter the VIP area were either major forces like the City Lord's Mansion and the Golden Crow Guards, or solitary experts of nine-star level or above.

As for someone like Xu Ming, with only four-star strength, yet able to sit in a VIP box, it was truly one of a kind!

"Little Die, who are all participating in this auction?" Xu Ming asked.

It was necessary to understand the competition!

Little Die said, "In the VIP area, those who have already arrived include the God Slaughter Field, the Void Sky Realm, the Golden Crow Guards, the City Lord's Mansion, Bloodsoul True God, Mad Wolf True God…"

Little Die rattled off a long list of names.

However, Xu Ming had basically never heard of any of them.

"These are the ones who have revealed their identities!" Little Die said, "There are also some who haven't revealed their identities, so there's no way to know!"

"Mm!" Xu Ming nodded slightly—like himself, he hadn't revealed his identity.

"By the way, is the Holy Emperor Palace Master attending?" Xu Ming suddenly asked.

"Probably not!" Little Die said, "If the Holy Emperor Palace Master were to come, he generally wouldn't hide his identity; but this time, I haven't seen him!"

"Oh…" Xu Ming's eyes narrowed slightly.

He recalled that when he was at the Holy Emperor Palace before, the sanctimonious Li Fang had told him: the Holy Emperor Palace Master was going to attend the auction, so he would have to wait until after the auction to give Xu Ming the Star Badge.

"Now it seems that Li Fang not only took my divine stones, but also fooled me!" Xu Ming was somewhat displeased.

However, this time, Xu Ming really misunderstood Li Fang!

The Holy Emperor Palace Master was really not there; as for where he had gone, that was beyond Li Fang's knowledge!

Moreover, if the Holy Emperor Palace Master were present, Xu Ming would probably be in trouble now!—Don't forget, the Holy Emperor Palace Master was acting on Li Xiujie's orders to search for Xu Ming!

If Xu Ming were discovered by the Holy Emperor Palace Master, the consequences would be unimaginable!

After an hour or two, the auction venue was almost full, and the auction officially began.

"I am Old Man Tianxin!" An old man with a goatee, wearing a deep brown robe, said with a smile, "I think most of the experts and great powers who have come to participate in the auction are old friends! I won't waste any time with pleasantries and will get straight to the point!"

Little Die stood behind Xu Ming and gave a brief introduction: "Old Man Tianxin is a senior auctioneer of our Myriad Treasures Pavilion! He has been hosting auctions for over three hundred million years…"

"Oh…" Xu Ming understood.

Golden Crow City was just a tiny place. Old Man Tianxin had been hosting auctions here for over three hundred million years, so probably over 90% of those who attended the auctions knew him!

"Let's stick to the old rules!" Old Man Tianxin continued, "The first treasure to be auctioned will still be from our Myriad Treasures Pavilion! No reserve price, highest bidder wins!—Please take a look!"

The platform beneath Old Man Tianxin suddenly cracked open, revealing a black hole.

Inside the black hole were complex formations and restrictions. A translucent, glazed fruit broke through the restrictions and flew out.

Old Man Tianxin said with a smile, "The Dao Fusion Spirit Fruit! After consuming it, there is a high probability of perfectly fusing two Heavenly Daos!—Everyone, feel free to bid!"

"Perfectly fuse two Heavenly Daos?" Xu Ming's eyes lit up involuntarily.

Although, after coming to the Divine Realm, Xu Ming had been mainly cultivating the 'Ancient Cultivator School'; that didn't mean he would give up on the Heavenly Dao School.

On the contrary, Xu Ming actually favored and wanted to cultivate the Heavenly Dao School more!

And Xu Ming was in urgent need of improving his strength, so he was focusing all his attention on the Ancient Cultivator School!

As soon as the Dao Fusion Spirit Fruit came out, the auction venue immediately became lively!

"Ten thousand divine stones!"

"Ten thousand divine stones? Are you trying to be funny?—Eight hundred thousand divine stones!"

"One million divine stones!"

"One million one hundred thousand!"

"One million one hundred and fifteen thousand!"

…

Those who were bidding against each other were all gods sitting in the ordinary area.

And the experts in the VIP area were all silent, not a single person bid!

Although the Dao Fusion Spirit Fruit was precious and rare, it was not difficult for the experts in the VIP boxes to obtain; therefore, there was no need to compete with others at the auction.

Xu Ming was only a little curious about this Dao Fusion Spirit Fruit, but he wouldn't buy it. After all, Xu Ming didn't need it now; when he needed it, he could just buy it from the Artifact Shop!

"In the Artifact Shop, the Dao Fusion Spirit Fruit actually sells for six million 9th-grade hang points?"

In the Artifact Shop, not all treasures were cheaper than in the Divine Realm. There were also many treasures that were more expensive than in the Divine Realm, such as this Dao Fusion Spirit Fruit.

In the end, this Dao Fusion Spirit Fruit was auctioned off for a price of one million eight hundred and thirty thousand to a seven-star god in the ordinary area.

At this time, Old Man Tianxin said with a smile again: "The second auction item is a teleportation treasure…"

Teleportation treasure!?

A stone stirred up a thousand waves!

"Teleportation treasures can only be made by at least Silver Moon level experts, and they must be proficient in space-time! This auction has a teleportation treasure so soon?"

"No way? In previous auctions, teleportation treasures could only be used as the finale!"

"Heh heh! It can't be a real teleportation treasure, I think it's likely to be a semi-finished product!" A god with a pale face and gloomy eyes sneered.

This god guessed right!

"This teleportation treasure had a little problem during the refining process; therefore, it can only be used by demigods at most, gods can't use it!" Old Man Tianxin explained, "The starting price is five hundred thousand divine stones, please bid!"

Can only be used by demigods at most?

Gods can't use it?

What was the point of such a teleportation treasure for the gods at the auction venue? Even if they bought it back, they couldn't use it!—Could it be that they bought it back for the demigod juniors to use?

However, spending at least five hundred thousand divine stones to buy a "toy" for a demigod junior?—Probably not many people present could do such a extravagant thing!

Therefore, without any suspense, this semi-finished teleportation treasure was not sold!

Old Man Tianxin didn't care, after all, such things often happened! He was used to it!

"The next treasure: a letter of recommendation from the Flood Dragon Mountain! Starting price, one million divine stones!"
