Chapter 1327: Chapter 1328: Three Auction Items

Hearing the murmured discussions all around him, Ye Mo’s face also showed surprise, and within that surprise there was a hint of expectation and solemnity.

Expectation, naturally, was for the items in the auction; as for the solemnity, if the lots that appeared were truly extremely precious, they would naturally make some experts’ eyes turn red with greed, and might even drive some people to act on the spot.

"Ye Mo, did you see the strength of my Wraith Clan? That Wangchen fellow is a direct descendant of the Wraith Clan. His status isn’t that high, but just by coming to this Great Wilderness City and holding an auction, he can alarm so many forces."

Speaking to this point, the Wraith Demon Emperor couldn’t help feeling a burst of pride.

"Yet you’re still being suppressed by the Dead Soul Royal Family."

Ye Mo once again struck the Wraith Demon Emperor dumb.

The venue was already filled with whispering; Ghost Granny also swept her gaze around, and that dried-up face of hers revealed a serious expression.

"Everyone, for this auction, the organizers invited this old woman to preside. I trust you can already guess, none of the items in this auction are common goods."

Ghost Granny waved her hand, signaling for the people around to quiet down.

"Alright, this old woman won’t waste words. There are three items in this auction."

As Ghost Granny spoke, a maid backstage came out, holding a wooden box in both hands, walking forward slowly, then placing the wooden box on the auction platform.

The material of that wooden box was extremely ordinary, but everyone could sense the waves pulsing from within; it was an extremely powerful spiritual fluctuation.

There was no need to think about it—what lay inside was undoubtedly an Immortal Artifact.

Ghost Granny opened the wooden box and took out a ring from within. On this ring was a dragon pattern, radiating endless brilliance.

"This ring is not a Sumeru ring, but a Soul Defense Immortal Artifact. However, it is a damaged Immortal Artifact. It’s said that a Soul Realm Ninth Layer expert released a powerful spiritual attack and damaged this Flood Dragon Ring. Although it’s broken, it still has its use, and can block spiritual attacks below Soul Realm Sixth Layer. Starting price: ten million Wheel of Reincarnation Pills."

After Ghost Granny finished speaking, everyone present gasped in surprise. A Soul Defense Immortal Artifact had actually been damaged by someone’s spiritual attack—who exactly was that expert?

Even Ye Mo was deeply shocked. Could spiritual attacks really be cultivated to such a degree? To directly shatter a Soul Defense Immortal Artifact?

But even so, this Flood Dragon Ring could still block spiritual attacks below Soul Realm Sixth Layer; that alone was enough to attract quite a number of people.

"I bid twelve million Wheel of Reincarnation Pills!"

"I bid fourteen million Wheel of Reincarnation Pills!"

"I’ll go to twenty million Wheel of Reincarnation Pills, let’s see who dares fight me for it!"

While everyone was pressing their bids upward, one person directly pushed the Flood Dragon Ring’s price to twenty million. Although it was just a damaged ring, for some Divine Venerable Middle Stage experts, it was already an invaluable treasure.

"A broken Immortal Artifact can actually be auctioned for such a price!"

Standing at the very back of the auction hall, Ye Mo couldn’t help exclaiming in admiration. This had already reached the price of a full Immortal Artifact. If he didn’t have the Soul Clan’s Glory, he would definitely be bidding for one himself.

However, the price was still skyrocketing; the shouting lasted for a full few minutes before this Flood Dragon Ring was finally purchased by a wealthy family of the Great Wilderness at a price of forty million Wheel of Reincarnation Pills.

Wangchen, standing to the side of the high auction platform, was also smiling; clearly this price had exceeded his expectations.

The next auction item was an ancient scroll.

Seeing the scroll appear, the crowd all grew excited. From side talk and probing, they already knew that a high-level Soul Technique would appear in this auction, and this scroll was very likely that high-level Soul Technique.

High-level Soul Techniques were rare even in the Dead Soul Royal Family and the Wraith Clan; as for Supreme Level Soul Techniques, at least none of them had ever seen one.

"This scroll records an ancient mid-level Soul Technique, passed down from the Ancient Era of our Wraith Land. Its power is enough to rival high-level Soul Techniques. Starting price: twenty million Wheel of Reincarnation Pills."

At once, an uproar swept through the venue. A mid-level Soul Technique handed down from the Ancient Era—its power could be well imagined.

Moreover, with a starting price of twenty million Wheel of Reincarnation Pills, the final price would likely reach at least around sixty million.

However, Soul Techniques were indeed much more valuable than martial techniques. If one cultivated a powerful Soul Technique, at a critical moment, unleashing it unexpectedly could kill the opponent and turn defeat into victory.

Soul Techniques were divided into five levels: ordinary, low-level, mid-level, high-level, and Supreme Level.

Ordinary Soul Techniques could be casually bought by common Martial Artists at street stalls, whereas low-level Soul Techniques were already rare goods.

"Twenty-one million Wheel of Reincarnation Pills!" 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Someone immediately couldn’t hold back anymore and directly called out a bid.

"Twenty-two million Wheel of Reincarnation Pills!"

"Twenty-five million Wheel of Reincarnation Pills!"

This kind of bidding style made even Ye Mo secretly marvel. Even in their Divine Beast Family, shouting prices like this would require careful thought several times over.

Ye Mo, however, kept his eyes fixed on the surroundings, fearing that someone might make a move to snatch it.

In the end, this Ancient Era low-level Soul Technique was auctioned off for forty-six million Wheel of Reincarnation Pills to an elderly man.

And everyone was now about to welcome the final round of auction items—the main event of this auction.

Yet Ye Mo felt slightly disappointed. None of the things he wanted had appeared. No matter how rare and precious the Heavenly Spirit Resurrection Pill was, it couldn’t possibly be more expensive than an Immortal Artifact.

Even so, Ye Mo still adjusted his mood and looked forward to the final auction item. As long as the last item was successfully auctioned off, his mission could be considered complete.

"Before this old woman presents the final auction item, it’s necessary to remind everyone present: you’d best not harbor any thoughts of making a move to rob it."

Ghost Granny swept her gaze around and said, "Both inside and outside the venue are filled with experts. Whoever dares to attempt robbery will be killed on the spot—no mercy."

Whoosh!

For the final auction item, Ghost Granny had already spoken to this extent, which was enough to show how precious it was—precious enough to make people’s eyes turn red.

In an instant, Ye Mo and the others all perked up.

Soon after, another maid walked up onto the high platform. This maid, unexpectedly, was also a Divine Venerate Realm expert. With a wave of her hand, a flash of light flickered, and a piece of sheepskin appeared in midair.

"What is that? Could it be a map to some Zone of Chaos?"

"It should be some treasure map, right? But who knows whether the map is real or fake. Unless it’s truly a very precious treasure, it won’t sell for a high price at all."

The crowd speculated one after another.

Ghost Granny did not keep them in suspense and said with a smile, "This is indeed a map, but it will definitely greatly interest everyone here, because this map is a Zone of Chaos map of the Wraith Demon Emperor."

A Zone of Chaos map of the Wraith Demon Emperor?

Everyone present was dumbfounded. Who was the Wraith Demon Emperor? Probably there was no one who did not know of him.

Of course, there was only one person at the scene whose expression didn’t change—that person was naturally Ye Mo.

"The Wraith Demon Emperor isn’t even dead, so where does this ’map’ come from? Seems this auction is anything but simple."

Ye Mo mused inwardly.
