Chapter 455: Stone Belt

"As expected of Morning Light Auction House, this scale is truly grand!"

Watching the rising bids below and the items being auctioned off one after another, a mysterious smile curled at the corners of Lingyun's mouth.

The variety of items auctioned in this event was vast, with all sorts of things available. From various rare materials to potions refined by Master alchemists, to weapons and armor forged by Dwarf Masters, Magic items from the hands of Masters, and rare Magic and martial arts—it could be said that everything one could wish for was there. Moreover, the items auctioned off at this event were by no means ordinary; some of them even incited bidding wars among many in the Saint Domain.

Lingyun even saw greedy gazes in the eyes of some Saint Domain experts, yet not a single one of these people dared to make a move; instead, they looked at the surroundings of the auction floor with some trepidation. Clearly, there had been instances of people trying to seize items by force at the auction house before, but the results were absolutely tragic.

"I say, are you not interested in these things at all?" Aiweier looked at the bidders below with great interest, then asked Lingyun beside her with some confusion.

"Because these things are of no use to me at all!" Lingyun said with a calm expression.

"Of no use at all?" A trace of confusion appeared on Aiweier's face.

"That's right. If we're talking about martial arts and Magic, we don't lack such things at all! As for potions, weapons, armor, and Magic items, Lingyun has even better things," Su Wanyue said. "The only things we might find worth looking at are those rare materials, but right now, there's nothing here that catches our eye. Under these circumstances, do you think we would be interested in these things?"

"Uh, well, it seems like we really wouldn't be interested," Aiweier muttered to herself, thinking of Lingyun, whom she had never been able to see through.

The first phase of the auction soon came to a close. Jier bowed to everyone present and then left the auction stage. After he left the stage, a beauty with a hot figure walked onto the auction stage with a graceful gait.

When this beauty appeared on the stage, the atmosphere below became even more heated. Most of the men present looked at the woman on the stage, their eyes flashing with burning light.

Su Wanyue glanced at the woman's ample bosom on the stage, then looked down at her own chest and couldn't help but pout.

Seeing her like this, Chen Jing couldn't help but lean over to her side and say with a mischievous smile, "Wanyue, looking at you, it seems like you're very envious of her!"

"Go away, what are you saying!" Su Wanyue's face turned slightly red, and she slapped Chen Jing in annoyance.

"Everyone, I am Zhuo Yun of Morning Light Auction House. I will be hosting the upcoming Mystery Auction!" Zhuo Yun ignored the burning gazes of the crowd below and said to everyone present with a beaming smile.

"Mystery Auction?" Aiweier's tone was full of confusion. "Lingyun, do you know what this Mystery Auction means?"

"The so-called Mystery Auction is where some unknown items are brought out for bidding. As for what these items actually are, what their functions are, or what their value is—all of that is unknown. To get good items at a Mystery Auction, both sharp eyes and luck are indispensable!" Lingyun had heard of this interesting auction beforehand and naturally had gone to learn about it, and what he was interested in was precisely this Mystery Auction.

"Could it be that some good things have actually appeared at this Mystery Auction?" Aiweier asked.

"From the information I've gathered, the most famous item to have come out of a Mystery Auction should be the Cloud Tear currently in the Norton Empire!" Su Wanyue said. "It is said that the person who bought the Cloud Tear at the time thought it was just an ordinary ornament, but it turned out to be the legendary Cloud Tear. The Mystery Auction became famous because of this!"

When mentioning the Cloud Tear, she also glanced at Lingyun.

"There's actually such a thing?" Aiweier said with some surprise.

Just as Chen Jing and the others were talking, several items of unknown origin and function had already been auctioned off on the floor.

"Hmm? What is this?" Lingyun's gaze suddenly fell upon a Stone Ring that Zhuo Yun had taken out of a box.

Seeing Zhuo Yun take out a Stone Ring, everyone present felt somewhat disappointed.

"This nameless Stone Ring was discovered by us in a secret location. There are unknown Inscriptions on the ring. After expert appraisal, they have consistently maintained that this item should be a belt. On this belt, there are some unclear Inscriptions, and to this day, we have still been unable to decipher their content," Zhuo Yun said, holding the Stone Ring in her hands. "The only thing known at present is that this kind of stone seems extremely hard; even Heavenly Domain experts cannot leave a mark on this item. After testing, we found that although this stone is hard, it seems to have no other effects."

Hearing Zhuo Yun say this, the people below began to discuss it among themselves. Although this item looked quite extraordinary, it was ultimately just a stone. Most importantly, not one of them felt any power fluctuations from this Stone Belt. Under these circumstances, there were even fewer people willing to bid on this Stone Belt.

Zhuo Yun's gaze swept over the people below, and she said with a charming smile, "Nameless Stone Belt, starting bid, one hundred gold coins!"

Hearing this starting bid, everyone present began to mutter to themselves. The material of this belt sounded quite impressive, but because even the Heavenly Domain could not leave a mark on it, it would be extremely difficult to forge this belt into something else. As for the Inscriptions on the belt, even the people at Morning Light Auction House couldn't make heads or tails of them, let alone them. What would be the point of buying such a thing even for one hundred gold coins? For a moment, not a single person among those present spoke up.

After a long while, a leisurely voice came: "One hundred gold coins!"

Everyone present looked curiously toward the source of the voice, but when they saw that the person who spoke was only from one of the lowest-tier private rooms, and that the voice was also very young, many people directly lost interest and withdrew their gazes.

In the private room, the three of Chen Jing also looked at Lingyun with surprise, not quite understanding why he had suddenly spoken up.

"Just watch!" Lingyun revealed a mysterious smile to the three of them.

"Tch, so mysterious!" Aiweier curled her lips and said.

"The gentleman in private room 466 bids one hundred gold coins. Is there anyone else bidding?" Hearing Lingyun bid one hundred gold coins, Zhuo Yun's eyes narrowed, and then she spoke in a sweet voice.

However, the people present were not fools. They had studied this Stone Belt carefully when they received the auction list, but the result was that this thing was just a stone. Spending one hundred gold coins to buy a stone was the behavior of a sucker; now that someone had made a move, it was naturally a good thing.

Seeing that no one present spoke up, Zhuo Yun could only strike the hammer in her hand, indicating that Lingyun had won the bid for this Stone Belt.
