Be it the auction or the influx of merchants, the bustling metropolis has become more lively. The streets were packed with people coming and going, rubbing shoulders with one another, and spitting and bargaining outside the shops.

The taverns and inns were already filled to the brim, and even the residents’ homes were full of people.

This central auction can be said to be a once-in-a-century grand event of Da Xia. Some country squires, hearing about this, wanted to join in the fun. This is why there was such overcrowding.

In order for the people who rushed in to have a place to live, the Emperor of the Great Summer personally ordered that temporary residences be set up outside the city. If there was nowhere to live in the city, or anyone couldn’t afford to live there, they could stay here. Inside were free tents, or one could set up their own. Warriors patrolled the area around the clock, no safety concerns.

Perhaps it was the grace of the heavens, as the past few days had been sunny and brilliant, making the already lively atmosphere even more exuberant.

There were many small auctions in the city, and even people on the street were auctioning things on the spot. But the real big shots, the real rich and powerful, were undoubtedly targeting the auction led by Yuan Tong Business Firm.

To hold this auction well, Yuan Tong Business Firm rented a separate courtyard in the royal palace. After careful remodeling, it turned into a beautifully unique temporary auction house.

Yuan Tong Business Firm announced that they would be auctioning several top-tier treasures. This attracted many important figures from surrounding countries, with the City of Daxia being packed with influential officials.

Of course, the most distinguished were undoubtedly the martial artists. After all, this is a world where martial prowess is respected.

Among the multitude of martial artists, Xiao Tian Yuan stood out as the leading figure.

Although this auction was grand, it was not enough to attract martial saints from foreign countries.

Therefore, Xiao Tian Yuan’s position was unquestionable, so when he entered the venue, he immediately attracted everyone’s attention.

And when people saw that the person walking in front of him was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old teenager, everyone was surprised and began to inquire who the teenager was and whether he was the son of a Martial Emperor.

Even though the son of a Martial Emperor wouldn’t warrant such a martial saint’s humility, right?

Only the dignitaries of this country had some knowledge.

Although they didn’t quite believe that Xu Mu had defeated Xiao Tian Yuan, the fact was in front of them. If it was not for an undisputed strong contender, Xiao Tian Yuan would not be so humble.

Through word of mouth and inquiries, Xu Mu, who had not concealed much, soon became known.

By the end of the auction, his reputation would likely spread throughout the Eastern Continent.

Now that the auction has not officially begun, news about him has already been leaked secretly.

After all, it’s hard not to pay attention to a suddenly emerged martial saint-level powerhouse, especially a few surrounding countries that are almost always watching Da Xia Nation’s every move.

Now that there’s suddenly an additional martial saint-level combat power on their side, and possibly more than the ordinary martial saints, this has completely disrupted the balance of power in the surrounding area.

In the future, all countries will have to go through a round of interest exchanges in order to cope with this situation, stirring up a storm of intrigue.

Especially a suddenly popped up martial saint-level powerhouse like Xu Mu, creates a much bigger impact.

Hosting this auction with great effort, Xiao Tian Yuan also intended to help Xu Mu become famous, boosting Da Xia’s morale.

As for this kind of minor calculation, Xu Mu wouldn’t care even if he was aware of it.

If he had to care about these trivial matters, there will be no time for cultivation.

Why do people who are tricky-minded can’t accomplish great things?

It’s because they’re too busy calculating, they don’t have time to improve themselves, and they can’t beat the heavens. They can only be a little clever with their own efforts.

Under the shocking gaze of the audience, Xu Mu, along with Xiao Tian Yuan and Zhang Ergou, entered a luxury box specially prepared for them. It was located on the top level of the entire auction house, exclusive and unique.

No one had any objection to this arrangement, let alone dared to raise objections.

With Xu Mu and the others’ arrival, the auction quickly officially began.

The auction was hosted by an exceptionally attractive young woman, whose cultivation had reached the Martial Spirit Realm. Considering her age, her talent is quite extraordinary.

The woman’s name was Ren Qingzhu, a talent nurtured by Yuan Tong Business Firm. Having her host the auction was also a side show of Yuan Tong Business Firm’s strength, to prevent anyone from causing trouble.

“Thank you, Young Master Xu and Lord Xiao, for gracing us with your presence! Now the auction officially begins!”

Ren Qingzhu first slightly bowed towards the box where Xu Mu and Xiao Tian Yuan were located, and then had the first auction item brought up.

“Essence blood of a Martial Ancestor-level wilderness creature, the Patterned Black Desert Scorpion. This creature is not only skilled in various venomous Divine Skills, but can also burrow underground. It is a rare monster beast. For the convenience of martial artists’ cultivation, we also have a matching Martial Method…”.

Ren Qingzhu chatted away up there, causing quite the shock among the people below.

For martial artists, the essence blood of a wilderness creature and the matching Martial Method are fundamental. Now, they are not only well prepared, but also at the Martial Ancestor level.

Martial Ancestor level items are already rare treasures even for a Martial Saint like Xiao Tian Yuan.

People didn’t expect Yuan Tong Business Firm to play its king card right from the start.

“Ten thousand taels!”

“Fifteen thousand taels!”

The atmosphere at the auction instantly heated up.

“Only ten thousand taels? Isn’t that too cheap?” Zhang Ergou doubted.

He had learned a thing or two during this period and felt that the essence blood of a Martial Ancestor-level wilderness creature and its Martial Method shouldn’t be this cheap.

“Didn’t you look at the auction rules when you came in?” Yang Jiang asked rhetorically.

“What rules?” Zhang Ergou asked.

“The bids are in gold.” Yang Jiang replied irritably.

“Gold?”

“Nonsense!”

Zhang Ergou closed his mouth in embarrassment. He had attended a few auctions with the city’s dignitaries and noble men but he had rushed through them without understanding the details.

He stole a glance at Xu Mu, glad that Xu Mu didn’t bother about these little things, remaining indifferent throughout.

“Master, if you need it, I can bid for you.” Xiao Tian Yuan on the side offered eagerly.

“No need! If I need it, I’ll let you know.” Xu Mu said indifferently.

The essence blood of a Martial Ancestor-level wilderness creature did have some use for him, but since the Wilderness was about to open, there would be more essence blood of wilderness creature than he could use. Therefore, there was no need for him to complicate things at this time.

As for the Martial Method, there is even less of a need. After studying all the Martial Ancestor and Martial Saint-level Martial Methods of Da Xia Nation, common Martial Methods have no secrets to him; he could create them at will.

“Yes!”

After replying, Xiao Tian Yuan stood by like a wooden log.

The auction continued unaffected by the conversation in the room, with various treasures brought up for sale, round after round. The only anomaly was that the hostess, Ren Qingzhu, would occasionally glance at Xu Mu’s room.

“Next up is the most precious item of this auction! The Martial God’s Descendant!”
