Two Realms: I Will Become the Immortal Emperor

Chapter 210: Chapter 193: Kill One First to Test the Waters

”Fellow Daoist Hu!”

The cultivators in the hall were also extremely uncomfortable; some were even considering leaving. But just then, a warning voice quietly rang out, ”If you continue to disrupt the order of this auction, then don’t blame me for being discourteous!”

The voice wasn’t loud, but it echoed throughout the hall.

The Qi Refining Cultivators, who had been silent as cicadas in winter, all looked up in pleasant surprise. The Valley Master had finally spoken.

However,

many Major Cultivators secretly frowned.

’Can you really suppress him?’

’He’s not the type to be placated by a half-hearted warning.’

”Valley Master Chen, which of your eyes saw this old man disrupting the order?”

Surprisingly, however, after retorting, Hu Chaohong’s tone suddenly softened. ”Fine, Jinyun Valley is the big dog in its own yard, so whatever you say goes. This old man can’t win against you. But... when is this auction of yours going to start?”

”This old man is getting impatient!”

He even patted the young Loose Cultivator next to him and said softly, ”Isn’t that right, little friend?”

”Yes, yes, yes!”

The man’s scalp tingled with fear. He didn’t dare to move, just nodded his head like a pestle pounding garlic.

”In that case, let us begin!”

Chen Che remained perfectly still, his voice echoing through the hall:

”However, before we begin, I will state the rules of this auction. All items will go to the highest bidder. To ensure fair competition among all fellow Daoists, threats with Divine Sense, malicious price inflation, and private collusion are all forbidden...”

”Any behavior that disrupts the normal order of the auction will, at best, result in expulsion from the venue. At worst... you will be slain without mercy!”

When he began speaking,

his voice was like a gentle breeze, but the final three words were deafening.

Many cultivators remained seated, but they turned their heads slightly, their gazes shifting toward Hu Chaohong, who sat there like a crouching tiger.

Clearly,

those words were aimed directly at him!

”Pah!”

Unafraid, Hu Chaohong spat out the Spirit Fruit in his mouth as if in response.

”Welcome, fellow Daoists and seniors, to Jinyun Valley. I am Ding Fei, and it is my honor to host this auction!”

At this moment, Ding Fei had already walked to the front of the stage.

”Without further ado, our first auction item is the ’Flame Spear’! This spear is a Tier Two High Grade Weapon, forged from Flame Light Stone. When True Essence is injected into it, the shaft erupts in flames. Even a Qi Refining Cultivator such as myself can feel its extraordinary power.”

Before he finished speaking,

a seven-foot long spear that looked as if it were forged from fire slowly descended from above, hovering in mid-air.

Under the enhancement of an array, all light converged upon the spear’s shaft.

He reached out, touched it, and injected his True Essence.

HUMMM—

The spear’s shaft trembled and, just as described, burst forth with a layer of dancing flames.

”A Tier Two High Grade Weapon?”

”The very first item is of such a high grade?”

”Not bad. I originally thought that since Jinyun Valley’s auctions haven’t been held for long, the items wouldn’t be of a high grade. This is a pleasant surprise.”

The cultivators in the audience grew excited.

Although

Hu Chaohong’s appearance had dampened many people’s spirits, this first item still managed to liven up the atmosphere.

’At this rate, it might sell for a few hundred more Spirit Stones. If that happens... my Foundation Establishment Pill is a sure thing!’

Seeing the crowd’s endless discussion, a Foundation Establishment Second Layer cultivator named Ma Cong beamed with joy from a corner.

The ’Flame Spear’ was his consigned item, previously valued at 2,600 Spirit Stones.

”The starting price is 1,200 Spirit Stones, with a minimum increment of 100 Spirit Stones!”

Ding Fei also breathed a silent sigh of relief.

Tier Two High Grade Magical Artifacts and Weapons were rare. There were only six in total this time, and they were spaced out evenly to regulate the atmosphere. If the first one could hype up the crowd, the entire auction would already be halfway to success.

”One thou—”

”I bid one Spirit Stone!”

Just as someone was about to bid,

a sudden, jarring voice cut through the air.

SWISH!

In an instant, countless cultivators turned their heads to look.
