The entire auction hall fell into silence for a moment then erupted in roaring laughter
One gold coin.
Is this guy trying to be funny
Starting bid at five million and he dares to offer one coin.
Does he think the auction house feeds on pity.
The crowd jeered even more harshly.
Sir are you joking with us.
Or do you not understand the rules of our auction house.
You better weigh the consequences of disrupting the proceedings.
Hmph
A cold voice echoed from the corner of the auction house as a wave of pressure swept across the hall instantly blanketing the venue
A five star Dou Venerate
Indeed I want that map and I only have one gold coin.
The voice from Heaven Box Number Nine was lazily indifferent yet carried a hint of sinister charm.
Do you think this is a place where you can act as you please.
Multiple figures swiftly approached the private box.
Hehe
The voice chuckled faintly
Buzz
A powerful aura instantly blanketed the entire auction hall.
Bang bang bang bang
Several hidden guards approaching the box exploded without warning blood raining down upon the auction floor
The stench of blood spread through the air
Several Dou Venerates from the auction dropped from midair and crashed onto the stage their bodies pinned as if crushed beneath a mountain.
None of them could move an inch.
The space around the remnant map rippled slightly.
In the blink of an eye the map disappeared leaving behind only a single gold coin atop the black box.
Any objections
The mocking voice echoed through the hall
Those who had been laughing moments ago now looked as if their throats were seized by invisible hands their expressions turning unsightly.
Such overwhelming power
The five star Dou Venerate was pressed flat against the floor his eyes filled with horror
Could it be a Dou Saint
The venue fell into dead silence
Though Holy Pill City was large and considered a major city even across Central Plains a Dou Saint remained an unattainable figure.
The three giants of the Pill Tower held authority over the city but none among them had reached the level of a Dou Saint.
Of course there were rumors that a Dou Saint existed in the Pill Tower but no one had seen such a figure.
And today one had appeared right here
Let the auction continue.
Hun Miesheng pinched the map between his fingers and smiled lightly.
Yes yes
The auctioneer woman nodded repeatedly
Sold
Congratulations to the guest in Heaven Box Number Nine for acquiring the ancient relic map for one gold coin.
The gavel struck the platform.
The auction officials could only force a bitter smile.
This was probably the most absurd auction in history.
But what could they do. This was a world where strength ruled.
Might made right.
If someone wanted to take something by force who could stop them.
No one in the auction house could withstand the fury of a Dou Saint level expert.
Brother you are really bad
Zi Yan blinked her watery bright eyes and giggled
Brother could be even worse if you want
Hun Miesheng shrugged
Hmm something about this seems off.
Ahem
Is that map the thing that attracted you
Hun Miesheng asked while holding the map
Zi Yan tilted her head to look at the map in his hand then shook her head.
Definitely not
That thing is not edible
Hun Miesheng was momentarily speechless so this little girl was just hungry.
Look
That one
Zi Yan suddenly tugged Hun Miesheng's hand and pointed toward the auction stage.
A metal cage was slowly being pushed onto the platform.
When everyone saw what was inside they all gasped.
Inside the cage was a woman dressed scantily with a body full of seductive curves and intense allure.
The woman was curled in the corner of the cage shivering with fear in her eyes
Her slender legs and delicate figure stirred a primal desire in the hearts of many men.
This is outrageous.
Has the Pill Tower not banned the sale of female slaves within Holy Pill City.
A booming voice came from Heaven Box Number Three and a burly man in the robes of a Pill Tower elder pushed open the door and reprimanded the auction organizers harshl
That is an elder from the Pill Tower. The audience erupted into murmurs Ah it is Elder He from the Pill Tower a pleasure indeed.
An elderly man with snow white hair stepped out from the void his aura faintly exuding pressure.
A seven star Dou Venerate.
What is the meaning of this auction
Are you disregarding the authority of the Pill Tower.
Elder He demanded angrily
A misunderstanding.
The white haired elder laughed lightly
That is not a female slave.
Elder He please take a closer look
With that the white haired elder pointed his finger toward the woman.
A streak of Dou Qi struck her body the force pressing down painfully as she twisted and writhed in agony.
Yet the sound she emitted was not human but more like a beast's roar.
The pained roar somehow stirred the blood of many male onlookers.
Suddenly a pair of crystalline icy wings burst from the woman's back.
What
She's not human
Could she be a magical beast.
A beast in human form
The auction hall descended into chaos.
The white haired elder raised his hand to silence the crowd.
As you can see this is not a female slave but a beast capable of assuming human form with strength equal to the peak of the Dou Emperor realm.
Though we do not know the exact species it is certainly not human.
That should fall within the auction regulations of the Pill Tower does it not Elder He
The white haired elder smiled at Elder He
Though his expression remained unpleasant Elder He had no choice but to nod.
The Pill Tower governed Holy Pill City but it was not an absolute ruler and the merchant associations had their own autonomy.
As for her value I believe everyone can judge for themselves she can be a woman an ingredient for refining pills or even a personal guard.
What she becomes depends entirely on you
The white haired elder turned to face the bidders.
Starting price three million gold coins.
Four million gold coins.
Four point five million gold coins.
Five point three million gold coins.
Voices rang out continuously as the bidding surged rapidly.
Hun Miesheng stared at the beast woman with a burning gaze.
Compared to Xiao Yixian Queen Medusa and Zi Yan this beast woman's appearance and body could only be considered upper average.
He was definitely not lusting after her appearance.
He had seen something others could not
A third eye on her forehead.
The woman had a third eye there though it was not golden.
Zi Yan bit her lip and clutched Hun Miesheng's hand her expression dimming slightly.
Brother can you save her.
Tears shimmered in Zi Yan's eyes her plea soft and pitiful.
Why should I save her.
Hun Miesheng asked with a faint smile.
A trace of resolve flickered across Zi Yan's delicate face.
She leaned forward and gently kissed him
Hun Miesheng paused.
This woman I want her too.
Just as the bidding neared twelve million the white haired elder's face beamed with excitement.
A calm voice rang out
The elder staggered backward and vomited a mouthful of blood.
