Chapter 46: The Auction Begins
Gu He waited impatiently in his private room for a while, and finally, the auction hall was filled with people.
After a few more moments, with a clear chime, a slow and melodious sound echoed throughout the auction hall.
As the bell rang, the noisy and bustling atmosphere in the venue gradually quieted down, and countless pairs of eyes turned towards the central crystal auction platform, filled with excitement.
At that moment, the man who had previously appeared in the appraisal room, Mittel-Tushan, slowly stepped onto the crystal auction platform.
Seeing Mittel-Tushan's appearance, the formerly noisy auction hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone's attention was focused on him.
"Hehe, I'm sure you're all impatient, so I won't waste any more time on formalities," Mittel-Tushan stood on the crystal auction platform, smiling as he looked at the densely packed crowd. His voice echoed through the venue.
As an experienced auctioneer, he knew exactly what the audience wanted to see and what they didn't. Therefore, he skipped the usual introductory remarks and got straight to the point. Nevertheless, it was evident that his opening move had won the approval of the entire audience, including Gu He, who nodded in agreement.
"As the number one auction house in the Gamma Empire, I believe that this auction hosted by our Mittel Auction House will not disappoint you," Mittel-Tushan said with confidence, thinking of the six-grade Dou Spirit Pill that had just been included as the grand finale.

At that moment, the man who had previously appeared in the appraisal room, Miteer-Tushan, slowly stepped onto the crystal auction platform.
Seeing Miteer-Tushan's appearance, the formerly noisy auction hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone's attention was focused on him.
"Hehe, I'm sure you're all impatient, so I won't waste any more time on formalities," Miteer-Tushan stood on the crystal auction platform, smiling as he looked at the densely packed crowd. His voice echoed through the venue.
As an experienced auctioneer, he knew exactly what the audience wanted to see and what they didn't. Therefore, he skipped the usual introductory remarks and got straight to the point. Nevertheless, it was evident that his opening move had won the approval of the entire audience, including Gu He, who nodded in agreement.
"As the number one auction house in the Jia Ma Empire, I believe that this auction hosted by our Miteer Auction House will not disappoint you," Miteer-Tushan said with confidence, thinking of the six-grade Dou Spirit Pill that had just been included as the grand finale.

Following this, Miteer-Tushan lightly clapped his hands and loudly announced, "I declare that the Miteer Auction is now officially open!"
As Miteer-Tushan's voice resounded, a brilliant light suddenly erupted from the massive crystal platform in the venue. After a while, the intense light gradually subsided.
On the crystal platform, right in front of Miteer-Tushan, there was a sky-blue longsword. Illuminated by the light, it emitted a chilling brilliance. Judging by the energy traces flowing on the sword's surface, it was evident that this was a magical core weapon meticulously crafted by a renowned master.
"This sword is named Frostblade, forged from Frost Iron, capable of cutting through iron like mud. Moreover, it has been perfectly embedded with a third-grade ice attribute magical core. If wielded by someone who cultivates water and ice attributes, its power will undoubtedly reach a higher level. It's a divine weapon and a must-have for those who venture outside. If any of you are interested, please don't hesitate to bid. Money is valuable, but it's worth it when you're alive to enjoy it, right? Hehe," Miteer-Tushan said, holding the sky-blue longsword. With a slight shake of the sword, a faint cold aura rose, creating a subtle white mist. He turned to look at the auction audience, smiling as he continued, "Starting price: one hundred thousand. Please, everyone."
"A magical core weapon?" Gu He mumbled as he gazed at the longsword on the crystal auction platform.
A longsword happened to be a weapon he favored, but unfortunately, this one had an ice attribute, conflicting with his fire attribute. Otherwise, he might have considered buying it for his disciples.
With that thought in mind, Gu He had no intention of bidding.
The items listed on the previous inventory were not particularly appealing to him. Aside from the magical beast egg and a medicinal herb at the end, there was little to capture his interest.
Of course, just because he wasn't interested didn't mean others weren't. For martial practitioners, a suitable weapon was as essential as an alchemist's cauldron. Therefore, after Miteer-Tushan's announcement, the auction hall resounded with a series of bids.
After several minutes of bidding, the item was successfully sold for one hundred and fifty thousand gold coins to an excited, thin man.
With the first auction proceeding smoothly, the items displayed on the auction platform became more and more dazzling, including armors, martial skills, techniques, medicinal herbs, and more.
Sitting on a soft chair, Gu He watched the fierce competition among the participants with a calm expression. He closed his eyes slightly, waiting for the upcoming auction items.
In the private rooms of the several top-tier noble families, similar to Gu He's situation, no one was placing bids either.
