After all, this is the Palben Auction House, and the owner here seems to be extraordinary. So when they sensed the strong aura emanating from Wu Tian's private room, they immediately withdrew.
Wu Tian breathed a sigh of relief. Lu Yan didn't know the danger just now and looked at Wu Tian in confusion, wondering why he suddenly exuded such a strong aura.
Wu Tian looked at Lu Yan and smiled bitterly. "Just watch here quietly, little girl. You ask me? I don't know either."
Lu Yan didn't force the issue since he was a "senior".
Helpless, Wu Tian glanced at Lu Yan.
At this moment, Yue Er looked around the private rooms and after waiting for a while, continued, "The third item tonight? I apologize to all the seniors as this item will only be revealed at the end. But I assure you that this item will definitely not disappoint."
Yue Er bowed to apologize, but Wu Tian knew that this item was meant to attract attention, so he couldn't just casually reveal it. Looking around the hall, Wu Tian knew that the competition tonight was fierce. He couldn't tell the cultivation levels of nearly half of the people present, but they didn't emit any aura, seeming like mortals. However, Wu Tian didn't believe that they were mere mortals. They were at least great masters above the Nascent Soul stage, and there might even be several Grandmasters in the Unity stage.
There were three people at the corner on the left side of the hall, and Wu Tian couldn't tell their cultivation levels either. However, what surprised him was that all three of them wore black cloaks to cover themselves. Moreover, a harmonious aura surrounded them, and he had a familiar feeling. He didn't know what kind of cultivation technique they were using, but he felt very comfortable looking at them. Wu Tian naturally paid close attention to them out of curiosity.
However, Wu Tian didn't know that not only was he paying attention to them, but almost everyone above the Nascent Soul stage was as well, because they were... special.
The soft light shone on Yue Er, making her look hazy. Her charming smile never faded from her face, indicating that she had received professional training. After bowing, Yue Er said, "The auction is now officially starting."
The first item is the "Tianji Stone," a rare refining material in the cultivation world. As seniors, you all know that Tianji Stone is hard to come by. The starting price is ten thousand immortal stones, and each bid must increase by at least one hundred immortal stones.
"Eleven thousand..."
"Thirteen thousand..."
...
The items that came out were all small things, and Wu Tian knew that, so the prices were not very high. However, when he saw the Tianji Stone, a relatively rare refining material, he decided to bid for it and eventually got it for nineteen thousand immortal stones.
Moon continued to introduce the second item, a top-quality armor made of Xuanbing and fused with Tiansi silk, suitable for high-level cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage. This armor was made by a divine refining master at least.
There were many people in the first floor who wanted this armor, but Wu Tian was not interested. Only Lu Yanshan's eyes were shining with gold stars. However, she could not use it right now, so Wu Tian began to daydream. In the end, the armor sold for one hundred and ten thousand.

The third thing was a Preheaven Zheer. When Moon mentioned it, Wu Tian immediately opened his eyes wide and looked at the Preheaven Zheer on the counter with white light in his eyes. Wu Tian had only seen these things in jade slips and had never seen them in person.
This Preheaven Zheer was originally a dark red gas that was stored in a container. It was the same as the introduction in the jade slip. Besides, with so many knowledgeable people here, Wu Tian was not afraid of being cheated.
The Preheaven Zheer is a precious refining material, so it is rarely seen, and the price should not be low. Moon said, "This Preheaven Zheer was obtained by a master during an adventure. It is said that the Preheaven Zheer is surrounded by abundant spiritual energy and should be a good-quality material. The starting price is one hundred thousand immortal stones, and each bid must increase by at least one thousand immortal stones."
"Twelve thousand..."
Someone bid as soon as Moon finished speaking.
Wu Tian looked at the person who made the bid, but he could not sense their cultivation level, which was above Wu Tian's. However, Wu Tian was not afraid at the auction, so he said, "One hundred and thirty thousand."
Moon said, "Box number seven bids one hundred and thirty thousand..."
"Thirteen thousand five hundred..."
"Fifteen thousand..."
The price had been steadily rising, and by the time it reached two hundred and forty thousand, there were only a few people left bidding. Wu Tian was feeling helpless, as it seemed that the expert who he had a grudge with also wanted the item, but he himself wanted it too. So Wu Tian had no choice but to continue raising the bid, and the other person followed suit.
Knowing this was not sustainable, Wu Tian made up his mind and directly said, "Four hundred thousand..."
The hall fell silent for a moment, then many people looked in surprise at private room number seven.
The person who had been bidding with Wu Tian seemed to hesitate, but then let out a sigh and did not continue. In the end, Wu Tian obtained the innate Zhu child at a price of four hundred thousand.
Next up was Yue'er continuing the auction.
The fourth item was "Twenty Returning Yuan Pills and Two High-Quality Flying Swords."
The hall fell silent, all eyes on the two flying swords and Returning Yuan Pills.
Wu Tian was also slightly surprised, as his item had come out. He couldn't help but smile to himself, wondering how much it would sell for.
The opening bid for a Returning Yuan Pill was fifty thousand Immortal Stones, while the opening bid for the Flying Swords was four hundred thousand Immortal Stones, which was a reasonable price. It seemed that this auction house was quite formal.
Each bid was higher than the last, and these people were all from major sects, with some being talented disciples from prominent families, so the prices at which the items were sold were good. One of the flying swords sold for seven hundred thousand, while the other sold for eight hundred and fifty thousand due to its superior quality. Ordinary ones outside would sell for around five hundred thousand Immortal Stones. The Returning Yuan Pills were finally bought by a powerful Golden Core period buyer for a total of two million two hundred thousand Immortal Stones. These Returning Yuan Pills were very useful in battles where the strength of the combatants was similar, and the deciding factor was the magic weapons and family resources.
Wu Tian happily watched as an eunuch soon brought him the Immortal Stones and items he had sold. He paid with Immortal Stones and received a lot in return. Lu Yan looked enviously at Wu Tian, as these Immortal Stones could create several talented cultivators for a small family. Wu Tian thought for a moment and took out one million Immortal Stones to give to Lu Yan, as he had already given her a high-quality flying sword earlier. This time he gave her Immortal Stones so that she could practice well, instead of running the store and overcharging customers every day. It was also to allow her to cultivate better with the Immortal Stones.
Lu Yan felt that today was her lucky day. First, the flying sword, and now the Immortal Stones, both of which were what she needed the most. Could it be that this senior was intentionally giving her things? Did he like her? Did he want to cultivate with her? ...
Wu Tian had no idea about Lu Yan's fantasies. After giving her the items, he began to pay attention to the next item. The closer to the end, the more exciting it would be. The excitement was about to unfold, and Wu Tian was looking forward to what was to come.
