Chapter 640: Chapter 637: Big Sucker_1

Upon entering the auction, Yang Chen first looked around. It was not difficult to see that the size of this auction venue was even comparable to a Sect’s Mountain Gate!

On the left and right sides were rows of tall buildings, obviously reserved as VIP buildings for the major sects and clans, as well as the main city forces. The high-level members of those sects would lead their disciples into these VIP buildings.

In the middle were rows of seats, which were positions for loose cultivators.

There were many people from Sects and loose cultivators alike. Yang Chen found a seat and looked around, discovering that at least thousands of people had entered the venue before him. This did not include the continuous stream of martial artists entering with different cultivation levels.

It was not difficult to observe the scale of the Yellow Sand Auction, and Yang Chen couldn’t help but look forward to it. He wondered what treasures the Yellow Sand Auction had to offer.

And so, Yang Chen sat in his seat, waiting.

After about three hours, the time for the Yellow Sand Auction to begin arrived, and everyone had assembled.

Following a soft cough, the whole room became quiet.

Immediately after, an astonishing aura suddenly spread out, shocking many martial artists.

This powerful martial arts cultivation was enough to make people feel suffocated. Not only was it Yang Chen, but everyone present felt the same, even powerful ones in the Earth Martial Realm.

Yang Chen braved this oppression and looked up to see an elder with white hair and beard on the high platform of the auction. The elder leaned on his crutches, looking old and weak—yet no one dared to show any disrespect or disdain toward him.

That was because the overwhelming pressure came from this old man!

“Sky Martial Realm!”

“This is a Sky Martial Realm expert!”

Many people whispered to themselves.

Yang Chen also took a deep breath, looking at the old man. It was not surprising that he was shocked as this old man had actually reached the Sky Martial Realm.

The Sky Martial Realm was a realm that was highly regarded, as it was the true definition of a powerful expert. Even in his previous life, Yang Chen held those in the Sky Martial Realm in high esteem. In the Thirty-Six Eastern Counties, Sky Martial Realm Experts were extremely rare.

Every Sky Martial Realm expert represented a limit of existence.

Fu Longyue hadn’t even reached the Sky Martial Realm!

It’s not that the Black Dragon Sect didn’t have Sky Martial Realm experts; they simply didn’t show up. Of course, this also indirectly demonstrated the elusive nature of Sky Martial Realm experts.

“This is Elder Huayun!”

“Indeed, it’s Elder Huayun.”

“I heard that every time the Huangsha County Auction begins, they pay a high price to invite this elder to host it, and this year is no exception. With Elder Huayun hosting, none of the various sects dare cause trouble.”

“Who is Elder Huayun?”

“You don’t know? He’s the number one loose cultivator in the Thirty-Six Eastern Counties, a role model for all loose cultivators!”

“I don’t know what deal Huangsha County has made with Elder Huayun, but he was invited to host every auction. It was precisely because of Elder Huayun’s supervision that no one dared to make trouble or cause disputes during the Huangsha County Auction. Elder Huayun is too strong.”

“With his Sky Martial Realm cultivation suppressing this place, it is said that a few years ago a sect tried to make trouble with two Earth Martial Realm experts. Guess what? Elder Huayun took action, and with his own strength, he suppressed that sect and settled the situation. Since then, no one has dared to cause trouble at this auction or stir up any trouble.”

Many people looked at Elder Huayun with admiration and envy in their eyes.

The very presence of Elder Huayun was like a calming pill that put people at ease.

The expressions of the crowd below made Elder Huayun very satisfied.

At this moment, he tapped his crutches lightly on the ground and, seeing that everyone was quiet, spoke in a calm tone: “Everyone, it’s been a long time since we last met, and I didn’t expect to see you all again at the beginning of a new auction. The Huangsha Main City has prepared generous auction items for all of you. Hehe, many of them have even piqued my interest, and I believe everyone will not regret attending today’s auction!”

All the people were filled with curiosity.

Not wanting to keep them in suspense any longer, Elder Huayun went through some necessary pleasantries and then said, “As you all know, our auction uses top-grade spirit stones as the main currency for bidding. So we hope that everyone is prepared. Now, let’s start the auction with the first item, the Burying Heart Goat Horn!”

“Burying Heart Goat Horn?”

“What is that?”

As Elder Huayun spoke, he waved his hand, and a blood-red horn appeared before everyone’s eyes.

The horn floated in the air, emitting an astonishing and malicious aura.

Seeing the deterrent effect of this aura working, Elder Huayun amiably said: “Perhaps many of you are unaware of this Burying Heart Goat Horn. It is the horn of a Demonic beast in Earth Martial Realm called Burying Heart Demon Goat. I personally killed this Burying Heart Demon Goat and obtained its material, which was traded to the Yellow Sand Auction.”

“An Earth Martial Realm Demonic beast?”

“A Burying Heart Goat Horn, nice!”

Everyone’s eyes widened, and many showed greedy expressions. As soon as the words “Earth Martial Realm” were involved in materials from Demonic beasts, the meaning became utterly different.

Elder Huayun stroked his chin, holding the Burying Heart Goat Horn, and said: “The Burying Heart Demon Goat was extremely fierce in its lifetime, and this horn was its essence. Once used, it can be a weapon, exerting a power entirely different from ordinary spirit weapons!”

“Everyone, seize this opportunity! The starting price for this Burying Heart Goat Horn is one top-grade spirit stone!”

As soon as Elder Huayun’s voice fell, someone immediately shouted.

“Two top-grade spirit stones.”

“We, Luo Yun Main City, offer three top-grade spirit stones!”

“Four!”

Seeing the many people starting to argue, Yang Chen couldn’t help but feel amused.

He had no interest in the Burying Heart Goat Horn. He had even seen the Iron Eagle Feathers from the Sky Martial Realm Iron Eagle Lord, so how could he care about a mere Burying Heart Goat Horn? Most importantly, this Burying Heart Goat Horn was completely hyped up by Elder Huayun.

In reality, the effect was far from that astonishing, and using top-grade spirit stones to measure it was excessive.

As for using it as a weapon, it was even more of a joke.

Using horns or teeth of Demonic beasts as weapons was not the first time this has happened, but the effects were generally mediocre. If their effects were truly extraordinary, there would be no need for Spirit Weapons and Mysterious Heavenly Spirit Treasures. Ultimately…

It was because using materials from Demonic beasts as weapons was simply not the same thing.
