Gradually, more and more demons and practitioners filled the auction hall, and it was almost packed.
"Ladies and gentlemen! Hello everyone!" At this moment, a charming woman with a fox tail walked up to the front of the stage and said in a seductive voice, "Please quiet down, the auction is about to begin!"
"First, let Xiao Mei welcome all the brothers and sisters. Magic Capital Auction, our West District, Wanbao Tower is definitely a leading presence! Your choice of us shows your discernment and strength! Well, Xiao Mei won't say much, let's start with the first item to be auctioned today-- this first item, is this Black Dragon Leather Armor!"
The fox beauty waved her hand, and a black leather armor appeared in front of her!
"This Black Dragon Leather Armor is a top-grade armor of the Demon Lord level, made from black dragon leather, with additional resistance against various secret techniques! Starting price is 20,000 magic stones!"
"Xu Chen, this armor looks cool, and you happen to need a new one. Do you want to buy it?" Qingyin asked.
"This thing is good and useful for me, but it's not necessary. Usually, the first item auctioned is not very good. Let's see first!" Xu Chen said.
"22,000!"
"25,000!"
"30,000!"
"31,000!"
Finally, the armor was bought by a hippo-faced demon for 36,000 magic stones!"
"This is the Changhong Battle Axe! A top-grade treasure for the Demon King! When wielded, it is as majestic as a rainbow, and it is the favorite of the immensely strong Demon Kings! Starting price is 10,000 magic stones!"
"It's not cheap!" Xu Chen said.
"This battle axe is a top-grade treasure of the Demon King level, and rarity makes it valuable!" Star Dance said.
"This one is a must-have treasure for female practitioners! A Magic Lord-level Chastity Talisman! Stick it there... and then, as long as you don't want it, even the Demon Lord can't forcefully possess you! Starting bid is 5,000 magic stones!"
"I can't believe... there's such a thing! How shameless!" Qingyin blushed.
The auction continued, there were many good things, but either Xu Chen couldn't afford them or they weren't very useful.
"This one is the Thunderbird Twin Blades!" The fox lady conjured up a pair of exquisite twin blades shimmering with golden electricity. The beauty and sharpness emitted by those blades were like a dancing Thunderbird appearing before the eyes! "These are extremely rare Thunderbird Magic Crystal refined Demon Lord-grade weapons! Starting price is 200,000 magic stones!"
"200,000 magic stones! So expensive for these blades!"
"It's exactly what I need!" Xu Chen's eyes lit up!
"Xu Chen!" Star Dance also said, "We're going to the mysterious snowy country soon, and electric-based weapons have a strong killing power against monsters in the icy terrain. Since you don't have a suitable weapon, you must buy these blades!"
"210,000!"
"220,000!"
"240,000!"
These Thunderbird Twin Blades were indeed top-grade, causing a heated competition on the field!
"300,000!" Xu Chen stood up and made his first bid, which immediately silenced the entire room! This was almost half of their wealth, he hoped no one would compete with him! Although the Thunderbird Twin Blades were precious, for ordinary Demon Lords, their whole fortune was only a few tens of thousands of magic crystals, which wasn't enough, but there were naturally many non-ordinary Demon Lords here!
"310,000!" a bird-headed demon stood up and said, evidently wanting to obtain those blades!
"320,000!" Xu Chen said without changing his expression.
"330,000!"
"340,000!"
"350,000!" The bird became anxious!
"390,000!" Star Dance suddenly stood up and said.
"Hmm?" The bird-man was surprised. This woman came up and offered such a high price without participating before, indicating her wealth's profoundness! He hadn't paid attention to whether Star Dance was together with Xu Chen before, but this blade wasn't worth more than 350,000!
"Ah!" The bird-man stomped his foot and sat down!
"Sister, congratulations on winning the bid for these blades at 390,000!"
"This Frost Armor is specially crafted for beautiful and tall female cultivators! It is the finest product of the Demon Lord! Not only does it have extremely strong defense, but it also has extra resistance against frost! However, the maker of this armor might have been too obsessed with tall and sexy women, making the size too demanding. Ordinary women simply cannot wear it, and there are very few beautiful women in the demon realm. Therefore, this piece of clothing can only be sold at a low price! The starting bid is 100,000 demon stones!"
"Sister Star Dance, I am naturally inclined toward water, so I don't need this frost resistance armor. But it would be great if you can have it for our trip to the snowy country!" Qingyin said.
"110,000!" Xu Chen stood up and made a bid.
After half a minute, surprisingly, no one else bid. Well, 110,000 demon stones were quite expensive. Even though this item was amazing, most powerful monsters and demons are males who can't wear this armor. Spending so much money on a decoration wouldn't be a wise choice. In fact, this armor had failed to sell multiple times. Originally, the starting price was 300,000 demon stones, but unfortunately, it couldn't be sold and had to be sold at a loss!
After buying this armor, Xu Chen and her group had just over 30,000 demon stones left. It was impossible for them to compete for any more treasures, so they left the auction and purchased various necessities for their trip to the snowy country on the first floor. They spent another 20,000 demon stones, almost completely exhausting their funds.
Then, they left the Treasure Pavilion and returned to their base to prepare for their journey to the snowy country.
The next morning, Xu Chen, Qingyin, and Star Dance, along with two squads totaling twenty female soldiers, set off to the teleportation site to the mysterious snowy forest of Snow Cedar. They left a squad of five female soldiers to guard their base.
