Open up and break into another world

Xu Ming wandered slightly in the corridor. After making up his mind, he walked into his private room—Room Seventeen.

“Huh? That is…” Before Xu Ming entered the private room, Bai Murong caught a glimpse of Xu Ming's figure. “Isn't that the lone drinker I ran into at the restaurant a month ago? He's actually in the luxury area?”

You must know that those who can enter the luxury area of the auction house are either rich or noble.

“No wonder… A month ago, I asked him to switch seats with me, but he didn't even acknowledge me!” Bai Murong thought to himself, “Fortunately, I didn't force him afterward! Otherwise, I would definitely offend him!”

In Bai Murong's view, although their Taku Trading Company was not afraid of offending Xu Ming, it was better to avoid trouble if possible.

Grandmaster Yujian and his disciple Lin Xu, who had just entered the luxury area, also saw Xu Ming walk into the private room.

“Room Seventeen, disciple, remember it!” Grandmaster Yujian said indifferently.

Lin Xu was a little puzzled: “Remember it for what?”

Grandmaster Yujian showed a look of disdain and said: “Even if someone like him pretends to be fat by slapping his face, he won't be able to afford any precious treasures even if he enters the luxury area!”

Grandmaster Yujian's expression was full of confidence, as if to say—your master has never misjudged people!

…

After Xu Ming walked into the private room, he directly set up an isolation formation within the room—this was a very normal practice! After all, the distinguished guests in the luxury area cared a lot about their own privacy. Although the Covenant Alliance promised that it would never pry into the privacy of its distinguished guests, it was definitely more reassuring to set up another layer of isolation formation oneself.

Xu Ming sat down with a golden horse and looked at the auction stage, thinking: “The Covenant Alliance's bastards actually dared to rob me! Now I'm turning around and robbing them once, it shouldn't be too much, right? I hope… there will be more good things at this auction!”

After waiting for some time, Xu Ming saw that the VIP area and the ordinary area below were almost full.

At this time, a white-robed old man with a calm demeanor walked onto the auction stage: “Welcome everyone to my Covenant Alliance auction! This old man is Jie Chen, Elder of the Covenant Alliance…”

The position of Elder in the Covenant Alliance is actually not very important! Because as long as one has the cultivation of the eighth level of the Wild Realm, one can become an Elder of the Covenant Alliance.

In the Ancient Remnant Realm, the number of Elders in all other forces combined is probably far less than the number of Elders in the Covenant Alliance!

After this Elder Jie Chen took the stage, he boasted about the Covenant Alliance auction house and hyped up the atmosphere of the auction; then, he went straight to the topic: “Next, please welcome the first item of this auction!”

As soon as Elder Jie Chen finished speaking, a graceful maid walked onto the auction stage, holding a piece of armor with divine power.

This armor was black all over, and there was a faint black mist lingering on the surface.

“True Demon Armor!” Elder Jie Chen introduced, “This is a Myriad Things Divine Weapon, discovered by our Covenant Alliance in the outer hall of the Primordial Divine Palace! It should be that a strong person encountered danger in the outer hall, died and disappeared, so he left all his treasures there!”

In the ordinary area and the VIP area, there were many discussions.

“A Myriad Things Divine Weapon?”

“Unexpectedly, it's a Myriad Things Divine Weapon right from the start!”

You must know that the highest cultivation level of the strong people who enter the Ancient Remnant Realm is only the Wild Realm! Therefore, Myriad Things Divine Weapons are still very rare!

“It seems… this Covenant Alliance auction will probably have many good treasures!”

Usually, at an auction, the level of the first treasure determines the level of the auction. Now, the first treasure is a Myriad Things Divine Weapon, so the treasures that follow will definitely not be bad; otherwise, the auction would become a "high start and low finish".

“Great! I just need a Myriad Things Divine Weapon armor! Moreover, the aura of this armor is very compatible with the cultivation technique I practice, I must get it!”

“Although this True Demon Armor is only a low-grade Myriad Things Divine Weapon, its quality is extremely good, and it is close to the middle grade! I'm afraid… the auction price will reach tens of thousands of low-grade Chaos Origin Crystals!”

“As long as the price does not exceed 40,000, I must bid for it!”

Although the Ancient Remnant Realm is a land of opportunity; the strong people who roam here are much wealthier than the strong people of the same level in the endless chaos! However, those who can afford Myriad Things Divine Weapons are usually existences at the high level of the Wild Realm!

Many great powers above the seventh level of the Wild Realm were rubbing their fists and palms, waiting for Elder Jie Chen to announce the starting price.

Elder Jie Chen looked around and said with a faint smile: “True Demon Armor, starting price is 10,000 low-grade Chaos Origin Crystals! Each bid must not be less than 500 low-grade Chaos Origin Crystals!”

The great powers who were originally rubbing their fists and palms were stunned for a moment; the price they were about to shout also swallowed back.

100,000 low-grade Chaos Origin Crystals?

Are you kidding me!

Shouldn't the price increase at an auction be increased slowly, little by little?

Even if a high price suddenly bursts out, one or two times higher than the starting price is enough to deter other bidders! — You directly burst out a price ten times higher than the starting price, what does this mean?

Are you even letting other bidders bid?

Can't we play happily together?

Suddenly, the originally fiery atmosphere of the auction house instantly became dead silent.

“That…” After a long time, Elder Jie Chen reacted, “Is there anyone else who wants to continue bidding?”

In fact, Elder Jie Chen didn't need to ask to know that no one would bid again!

This True Demon Armor is just a low-grade Myriad Things Divine Weapon, and the price is at most 50,000 low-grade Chaos Origin Crystals! A price of 100,000 has far exceeded the value of the armor itself, and you can completely buy two armors that are not bad at all; how could anyone continue to bid?

“It seems… that distinguished guest who bid must be very in need of this True Demon Armor!” Elder Jie Chen thought to himself.

Elder Jie Chen asked three times in a row whether anyone would continue to bid; after confirming that there was no one, the auction of this True Demon Armor also ended.

Soon, the enchanting maid carried the True Demon Armor to Room Seventeen where Xu Ming was.

“Esteemed guest, this is the treasure you bid for! May I ask, will you pay now, or will you settle all at once after the auction is over?” The enchanting maid kept winking at Xu Ming, obviously wanting to gain the favor of this generous great power.

However, Xu Ming seemed not to see the enchanting maid's small actions, and only said lightly: “I still have many treasures to bid for, let's pay together at that time!”

Although Xu Ming said this, he was secretly laughing in his heart: Pay? That doesn't exist!
