"After tearing the Suppressing Talisman, it can release an attack powerful enough to kill a Transmutation Force expert in seconds," Lachlan explained the function and usage of the talisman he made himself using Dragon Gaze Heavenward Technique's drawing method. He sealed a dragon's energy inside the talisman, which could unleash an attack with 80% of his full strength.
After listening, the middle-aged man looked skeptical and said, "I cannot make a judgment on this. We need someone to appraise it."
A moment later, he returned with the talisman and sighed, "Sir, our people cannot identify this talisman. However, we can confirm that there is energy fluctuation present in it so we will allow you to auction it."
"What is your starting price?" asked the middle-aged man.
"Let's start at 5 million," Lachlan thought for a moment before answering.
"5 million? That's high," said the middle-aged man skeptically.
"Is there a problem? If this talisman works as I described then isn't it worth that much?" Lachlan raised his eyebrows.
"Well... no problem then. I was just surprised," chuckled the middle-aged man self-deprecatingly.
If this talisman could really kill a Transmutation Force expert in seconds like Lachlan claimed, then not only was 5 million reasonable but even 50 million would be worth paying for it!
The auction started promptly at nine o'clock in a grand hall decorated elegantly and luxuriously with temporary seating arranged below an auction platform. A projection device was set up on stage so every item being sold would be projected onto large screens for guests sitting far away to see clearly.
Lachlan and Mason sat down according to their assigned numbers when suddenly Lachlan saw Summer walking into the hall looking stunning as ever! Perhaps sensing his gaze instinctively or by coincidence, she turned her head towards him with playful smile forming on her sweet face.
Frowning slightly, Lachlan looked away thinking how small their world really was sometimes...
The woman who was skilled in underhanded tactics and almost killed Liam, as well as being powerful, had also appeared here.
Next, the auction officially began.
The first item up for auction was a set of ancient martial arts used to liven up the atmosphere on site.
According to the auctioneer's introduction, this was a set of martial arts that could truly allow warriors to cultivate inner strength. The starting price was 8 million dollars.
In the end, it sold for a staggering 15 million dollar, bought by a martial arts gym owner.
This made Lachlan secretly click his tongue in amazement and think that there were no cheap goods at this auction.
"Don't worry brother-in-law. I prepared 20 million today. That spiritual stone will definitely be yours," Mason said reassuringly when he saw Lachlan's expression.
"No need! I have money now myself. It's just that one set of martial arts costing over 10 million is really frightening!" Lachlan shook his head and exclaimed in surprise.
"This is an ancient martial art that can cultivate inner strength, not some fancy moves with no substance. This price is actually normal!" Mason said seriously.
Hearing this, Lachlan thought to himself: if he took out any one of his cultivation techniques from his mind casually, it would also be worth millions?
Last time he gave Reeva the Fierce Phoenix Heart Sutra; wasn't it also worth over 10 million?
When should he ask that little girl for money...
The next few items up for auction were rather ordinary and didn't cause much excitement or interest from Lachlan either.
"The next treasure is a special jade! The veins of this jade come from an ancient warrior family hidden away from society which has been guarding their land for generations."
"Its vitality thrives by absorbing natural energy year after year until it forms into such special jade! After having enough power as warriors, they can absorb its spiritual energy to assist their cultivation or even help them breakthrough!"
"This spirit jade starts at two 22 million! Each bid must not be less than500, 000 each time! Bidding begins now!"
As soon as the words fell off the lips of the auctioneer, they lifted off red cloth covering it, revealing palm-sized crystal clear greenish-blue gemstone shimmering with colorful light like iridescent feathers under sunlight.
Lachlan's eyes lit up with excitement upon seeing it because he could feel rich spiritual energy contained within - exactly what he had been searching for - Heavenly Spirit Jade!
However, Lachlan did not rush to make an offer but decided instead to wait and see how things played out.
After the auctioneer finished introducing the item, there was a commotion in the room, followed by an awkward silence.
"22 million for a piece of jade?"
