The old man glanced around, gently coughed to clear his throat, and slightly bowed to the crowd below before infusing his voice with dark energy and saying, “Ladies and gentlemen, I won’t waste time with nonsense—our Underground Market’s auction might be held infrequently, but the rule is very simple, the highest bid wins!”
With the old man’s voice ringing out, the hall fell into a hush, and everyone’s gaze was intently focused on the old man on the stage, eager to discover what the day’s first auction item would be…
“The first item we are auctioning today is a bottle of Broken Dark Pills, I believe everyone is aware of the effects of the Broken Dark Pills, so there’s no need for me to ramble on.
Now, let us officially begin the auction for the first bottle of Broken Dark Pills, with a starting bid of 100 Dark Stones, and each subsequent bid must be no less than 100 Dark Stones!” the old man said again, making sure everyone present heard him loud and clear.
“I bid 200 Dark Stones.” No sooner had the old man finished speaking, people from below started to call out their bids impatiently.
At this moment, those who placed the bids were sitting in the Hall, while no one in the private rooms made a sound.
“I bid 300 Dark Stones.”
“400 Dark Stones.”
“I bid 500 Dark Stones.”
“600 Dark Stones.”
The calls for bids came fast and furious, the competition intense; this was just the first auction item, a bottle of the precious Broken Dark Pills, and in less than the time it took to drink a cup of tea, the price had already been driven up to 3000 Dark Stones…
And it showed no signs of stopping because everyone who came today had deep pockets and was determined to get what they set their sights on.
Moreover, they all knew well that although these were just Broken Dark Pills, the Elixirs presented by the Underground Market were incomparable to ordinary Elixirs.
So, the savvy ones knew to take the opportunity to bid while they could, using their wealth to secure any item possible.
Miss this chance, and they really might end up with nothing…
Because there was no shortage of people with this mindset, the auction for the first bottle of Broken Dark Pills instantly elevated the auction to a frenzied peak, with the voices of the bidders rising one after another, showing no indication of stopping…
Mo Jiuli and Guyan were in a private room upstairs, watching the boisterous bidding below.
“I didn’t expect Broken Dark Pills to be so valuable here!” Guyan said, somewhat stunned.
He could also refine Broken Dark Pills, and even on the Lingtian Continent, they weren’t deemed so precious!
It was already several thousand Dark Stones…
“The Broken Dark Pills here are different from those on our Lingtian Continent, it’s right for them to be a bit more expensive…” Mo Jiuli said.
In less than one hour, the Broken Dark Pills were finally sold for 4200 Dark Stones.
The subsequent auction items became increasingly high-level, with Divine Pills, Demigod Artifacts, and so on; yet none caught Mo Jiuli’s interest…
Looking at the food on the table, Mo Jiuli felt a bit hungry and picked up the chopsticks to start eating.
After tasting a bite, she found the food quite good and didn’t hold back…
Guyan, on the other hand, was absorbed in the action, just watching with great interest, but he hadn’t encountered anything he particularly wanted.
Just then, Mo Jiuli looked up and noticed the trading market’s staff carrying up a huge coffin…
That’s right, it indeed resembled a coffin in appearance.
Everyone watched curiously, unable to understand what this was all about.
Could it be that they were going to auction off a corpse?
The old man glanced at the crowd and said with a smile, “You all must be very curious, what exactly is this, right?”
