Crossing to Douqi Continent and walking sideways

Xiao Muchen and his party came to Wanbao Pavilion under the leadership of Ye Feng. Wanbao Pavilion towers into the sky, like a towering giant peak standing in the center of the city. Its magnificent architectural style is luxurious and breathtaking. The vermilion door frame is inlaid with dazzling gold edges, which shine brightly under the sunlight, like flowing golden rivers. The two unicorn statues at the door are lifelike, as if they were made by the top carving masters with all their efforts. Every scale of the unicorn is carved in detail and gleams with a metallic luster; the piercing eyes seem to contain endless wisdom and majesty, making people dare not look directly at them; their open mouths seem to be roaring, as if they can come alive at any time, exuding a terrifying majesty and mysterious atmosphere.

As soon as we walked through the gate, a beautiful maid came to greet us. She was wearing a light green long skirt with exquisite patterns embroidered on the hem. The patterns were like flowers blooming in spring, colorful, delicate and vivid. Every petal and every leaf seemed to have life, swaying gently as she walked. She had a professional smile on her face, which was just right, warm and measured. She said, "Welcome, distinguished guests. What can I do for you?" Her voice was clear and pleasant, like a spring in the mountains flowing into everyone's hearts.

Ye Feng bowed and said, "I heard that there is a grand auction today, so we came here to take a look." His tone was full of anticipation and excitement.

The maid nodded slightly and gracefully made a "please" gesture. Her movements were light and smooth, like a dancing fairy, and the swing of her arms was as gentle as the breeze blowing on the willows. She led them into a spacious and magnificent hall. The hall was magnificent, with a huge crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling. The chandelier was composed of countless crystals, each of which was carefully polished and carved, reflecting colorful light. These lights intertwined together to form a dreamy light curtain, emitting soft and dazzling light, illuminating the entire hall like daylight. The floor was covered with a thick cashmere carpet, which was soft in texture. Walking on it was silent, as if walking on clouds. The carpet was embroidered with complex and exquisite patterns, including ancient runes, mysterious constellations and mythical creatures. Each pattern seemed to be telling an unknown story.

Many people have gathered in the hall. They come from all over the place, all of them are powerful and wealthy. Some people talk in groups of two or three, their expressions are sometimes serious, sometimes laughing. One of them is an old man in a white robe, with a kind face but deep eyes. He is discussing something with two young warriors beside him. His fingers are gesturing in the air from time to time, as if analyzing the value and use of the treasures to be auctioned; some people sit alone, close their eyes and rest, seemingly calm, but their eyes reveal the light of expectation and determination. For example, the man in black sitting in the corner, his body is tense, his hands are clenched into fists, and the air around him seems to become heavy because of his nervousness.

Xiao Muchen and others found a seat and sat down, patiently waiting for the auction to begin. They looked around curiously, their hearts full of anticipation for the upcoming auction. Not long after, an old man walked steadily onto the auction stage. The old man was wearing a purple robe, the fabric of which was as smooth as silk, as if it was made of the finest silk. It was embroidered with mysterious runes, which flickered with a faint light and swayed gently with the old man's steps, as if containing mysterious power. He had a thin face, and the years had left wrinkles on his face, each of which was like a witness to a piece of history. But his eyes were bright and full of wisdom, as if he could see through all the secrets of the world.

The old man cleared his throat and said in a loud voice: "Dear guests, welcome to the auction of Wanbao Pavilion. Today, we have prepared many rare treasures for you. I hope you can all win the treasure you like." His voice echoed in the hall and was clearly heard by everyone.

As he finished speaking, the maid carefully brought up the first treasure. This was an extremely sharp sword, with a slender blade and smooth lines, like a winding silver snake. The blade flashed with cold light, and the light was so cold that it seemed to cut the air. The old man introduced: "This sword is called 'Ice Breaker Blade', which is made of thousand-year-old cold iron that was forged in a fierce fire for 9981 days. The blade is extremely hard and can cut iron like mud. Even the strongest armor is like thin paper in front of it. In addition, this sword can release cold air in battle, affecting the enemy's movements and speed, allowing you to gain the upper hand in battle. Starting price, 100,000 gold coins."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone in the audience couldn't wait to start bidding: "One hundred and ten thousand!"

"One hundred twenty thousand!"

The price continued to rise, and bidders were unwilling to give in, all eager to get the sword into their pockets.

"Fifteen thousand!" a burly man shouted loudly, his eyes full of desire for the sword.

"One hundred and eighty thousand!" Another young man dressed in gorgeous clothes was not to be outdone. He had a confident smile on his face, and seemed determined to get the sword.

Finally, the sword was bought by a swordsman in black armor for 200,000 gold coins. The swordsman's eyes flashed with excitement, as if he had seen himself killing people on the battlefield with this sword. He stood up, bowed to everyone, and then walked onto the stage to receive the sword in the envious eyes of everyone.

Then, various precious items appeared one after another. A "Tianling Pill" that could help people break through bottlenecks was presented. The pill was round and mellow, emitting a rich aura. The aura lingered around the pill like smoke, forming a faint halo. The old man said loudly: "This 'Tianling Pill' was carefully refined by the master of alchemy using countless precious materials and 49 days. After taking it, it can increase the chance of breaking through the bottleneck. For warriors stuck in the bottleneck of cultivation, it is undoubtedly a life-saving straw. Starting price, 300,000 gold coins."

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately triggered a fierce competition among many practitioners, with bidding sounds coming one after another.

"Three hundred and fifty thousand!" shouted a middle-aged warrior, his forehead already covered with sweat, obviously determined to get this pill.

"Four hundred thousand!" An old man also joined the competition. Although his voice was hoarse, it was full of determination.

"Four hundred and fifty thousand!" A young woman was not to be outdone, her eyes full of desire.

Afterwards, an ancient martial arts secret book "Chaos Heart Sutra" was put on the auction table. The old man's expression became serious and solemn, and he slowly said: "This "Chaos Heart Sutra" has a mysterious origin. It is said that if you practice it to perfection, you can control the power of chaos and have boundless power. But it is extremely difficult to practice, and requires extremely high talent and understanding. However, once you succeed in practicing it, you will definitely become a powerful person. The starting price is 500,000 gold coins."

The atmosphere of the auction became more and more heated, and people's emotions became more and more high.

"Six hundred thousand!" A voice came from the corner. Everyone turned to look and saw a mysterious man hiding in the shadows, with his face unclear.

"Six hundred and fifty thousand!" Another voice sounded, this time it was a white-haired old man, his eyes revealed his obsession with this secret book.

At this moment, a mysterious treasure was presented to the auction table. It was covered tightly with a piece of black silk, and its specific shape could not be seen clearly, but from the mysterious aura it exuded, one could feel its extraordinaryness. The aura was deep and ancient, as if it was a call from ancient times, which made everyone present's heartbeat speed up.

The old man's voice also became low and mysterious: "The origin of this treasure is unknown, but according to our appraiser, it may contain great power and secrets. Maybe it is a peerless magic weapon, or maybe it is a lost cultivation method. The starting price is 800,000 gold coins."

Everyone in the audience stretched their necks and stared at the covered treasure, their curiosity was completely aroused. They speculated on the true appearance of this mysterious treasure, and the whole hall fell into a tense and expectant atmosphere.
