336. Chapter 336: Opening a Blind Box

In the fearful gazes of a crowd of Gu cultivators, the Jade-Faced Rakshasa walked into the auction house without any obstruction and finally entered the No. 3 VIP room.

Accompanying her were two red-clad Gu cultivators who released the aura of a Gu King.

"Is your information accurate? Did the Qian Clan Merchant Association really receive a heaven-defying pill that can improve aptitude by two grades? Why hasn't the Qian Clan Merchant Association publicized this treasure until now?"

After sitting down, the Jade-Faced Rakshasa was clearly a bit distracted and asked a red-clad female Gu cultivator beside her.

"Sect Master, my information is absolutely true. Our Rakshasa Gate's eyes and ears are all over the city, and even in the Qian Clan Merchant Association, we have many eyes and ears."

"This information came from the maid beside the appraiser; it definitely can't be wrong."

"Since the Qian Clan Merchant Association didn't publicize this matter, I think they themselves probably have the heart to compete for it, right?"

"Such a heaven-defying divine pill, anyone would have a heart of greed. How could the people of the Qian Clan Merchant Association be an exception?"

The female Gu cultivator hooked her mouth and revealed a sneer.

"Makes sense..." The Jade-Faced Rakshasa narrowed her eyes: "This pill can improve a Gu cultivator's aptitude by two grades and can improve Heaven-grade aptitude to Divine-grade; it is truly heaven-defying."

"In front of this treasure, that Holy Tree is irrelevant. Next, we will go all out to compete for this Heaven-Defying Pill."

"As long as I achieve Divine-grade aptitude with this pill, then I will be invincible in the Land of Sin. Even the head of the Four Great Evils cannot be my opponent."

The Jade-Faced Rakshasa clenched her fists, releasing a look full of ambition in her eyes.

"You order it down, let all the disciples of the Rakshasa Gate set up an ambush around the City of Sin."

"If we successfully auction this pill, that's fine. If we can't auction it, then whoever has this pill in their hands, I will kill, regardless of their identity!"

A sharp murderous intent flashed in the Jade-Faced Rakshasa's eyes.

"Yes! Sect Master!"

The female Gu cultivator nodded, turned around, and quickly pushed the door and walked out of the No. 3 VIP room.

At the same time, another commotion came from below.

The Jade-Faced Rakshasa glanced below, her brows slightly furrowed.

"Burial Demon Old Ghost? He really came. With him here, the Heaven-Defying Pill is probably not so easy to get."

Her fingers tapped gently on the table, revealing a thoughtful look...

As Gu cultivators from all sides entered one after another, the auction, which had been empty not long ago, was soon full of people.

At this moment, the venue was extremely noisy, with discussions everywhere, but the content of the discussions was almost all related to the treasures to be auctioned in this auction.

Especially the grand finale auction item, the Holy Tree, was discussed by everyone.

However, that Heaven-Defying Pill with higher value was not discussed by anyone at this time.

Long Xuan frowned slightly. Did all the Gu cultivators below not receive the news of the Heaven-Defying Pill?

Was it that the Qian Clan Merchant Association deliberately didn't publicize it, or was the auction about to begin, so there was no need to publicize it?

Long Xuan was thoughtful...

Just at this moment, a crisp bell sound rang out, and the whole venue finally quieted down.

Long Xuan also returned to his senses from his thoughtful state and whispered: "Is it finally about to begin?"

At this moment, an old man stood on the auction stage, looking at the Gu cultivators below with a smile, and seeing that the whole venue finally quieted down, he said:

"My surname is Qian; you can call me Old Qian. It is a great honor for me to host this auction. Presumably, everyone has long been unable to wait, so I won't waste everyone's time."

"Now I announce that this auction officially begins."

As soon as Old Qian's voice fell, a beautiful maid walked over with a jade plate and presented the first auction item of this auction.

Everyone stretched their necks, wanting to see what treasure was placed on the jade plate.

After seeing clearly that a storage bag was placed on the jade plate, everyone revealed a look of disappointment.

Everyone has things like storage bags; what's so strange about it?

Even if the space of this storage bag is very large, it didn't arouse their interest at all.

Old Qian seemed to have long expected that the people below would have this expression and revealed a mysterious smile.

He picked up the storage bag on the jade plate, shook it in front of everyone, placed it on the table, and smiled: "Let you down. As you can see, this is exactly a storage bag. The starting price is 500,000 Spirit Stones."

"I won't keep you in suspense. The storage bag that can be taken out by the Qian Clan Auction House for auction naturally won't be an ordinary storage bag. This storage bag is a storage bag with an owner, and there are treasures hidden inside."

"As everyone knows, if a Gu cultivator doesn't die, the storage bag on his body cannot be opened by others."

"If forced open, most of the treasures inside will be damaged."

"But there is nothing absolute. This kind of storage bag with an owner can be opened without damage under the soaking of Nether Water."

"However, the price of Nether Water is extremely expensive, and the price of Nether Water may even far exceed the treasures inside the storage bag."

"Using Nether Water to open a storage bag with an owner is not only not profitable but may also lose money."

"This storage bag was obtained by the seller unintentionally, and he completely doesn't know what treasures are inside."

"He doesn't have the courage to use Nether Water to gamble on what treasures are in the storage bag, so he simply took this storage bag to our auction house for auction."

"Giving this opportunity to open a blind box to others, whether it's a loss or a gain, depends entirely on the buyer's luck."

"It's smart of him to transfer the risk to others. No matter what price this storage bag is auctioned for at the auction, he will definitely make a profit without losing."

"Is there anyone interested in this storage bag now?"

Hearing this, all the Gu cultivators present developed quite a bit of interest.

The game of opening a blind box is very interesting. Everyone was curious about what was in this storage bag, and whether using Nether Water to break open this storage bag was a loss or a gain.

The treasures in this storage bag are unknown, and anything could be hidden inside, which really made many people itch and develop the idea of gambling.

There are so many people at the auction, and there is no shortage of Gu cultivators who like adventure.

But they didn't start bidding rashly. Now this blind box has no information, so they were prepared to ask for more useful information before deciding whether to bid, and how much to bid.

At this moment, someone in the auction immediately asked: "The information is too little. You should at least tell us whose storage bag this is."

"What if this is the storage bag of a big shot that we can't afford to offend? If we take it, won't we be inviting disaster?"

Old Qian smiled: "The possibility you mentioned naturally cannot be ruled out, but gambling on a blind box is gambling on luck. You have to gamble on what treasures are inside, and you also have to gamble on the danger this storage bag will bring."

"If someone is worried about whose storage bag this is and will invite disaster if they take it, then they can just not gamble."

"As for who the owner of this storage bag is, how could we know?"

"If we knew the identity of the owner of this storage bag, we could basically judge whether the treasures in this storage bag are many or few, so why would we take it out to open a blind box?"

"I can only say that the seller claimed that this storage bag was picked up by him on the side of the road. He doesn't know who the owner of this storage bag is, and he completely doesn't know what treasures are inside."

"Our Qian Clan Merchant Association only learned this information. As for whether to take the risk to gamble, it all depends on everyone's courage."

Old Qian looked at the Gu cultivators below with a confident look. He really didn't believe that this storage bag would be passed over.

It's true that the owner of this storage bag might be a person who cannot be provoked, but there are so many Gu cultivators in the auction, and there are always bold ones.

After Old Qian finished speaking, the Gu cultivators below discussed it one after another.

"Picked up on the side of the road? How is he so good at picking things up? Which idiot would lose their storage bag? I think this storage bag was clearly stolen by him."

"If this storage bag was stolen by him, then he completely knows who the owner of the storage bag is. Since he is willing to put the storage bag up for auction, there's likely no good stuff inside."

"You can't say that either. There are really Gu cultivators in this world who lose their storage bags. In a big forest, there are all kinds of birds."

"Hehe, then this kind of person is really stupid enough to lose even their own storage bag. How could they not lose their own head? What treasures could such an idiot have? I bet there's no good stuff in this storage bag. Whoever buys it loses."

There were different opinions below, but the majority thought there was no good stuff in this storage bag.

Under this guidance, the price at which this storage bag was sold naturally wouldn't be too high.

Long Xuan also developed quite a bit of interest in this game of opening a blind box and carefully observed this storage bag.

Don't look at the ordinary material of this storage bag, but this doesn't explain anything.

Wealth should not be shown off. Many Gu cultivators with amazing family backgrounds only carry an ordinary-looking storage bag to hide their clumsiness. He is this kind of person.

Even if his family background is amazing, he won't hang the most expensive storage bag in the world on his waist; otherwise, wouldn't it be clear to tell others that he is very rich?

At the same time, this is a female storage bag, which is not good news for him.

Some of the things used by female Gu cultivators cannot be used by male Gu cultivators. A female Gu cultivator's storage bag will undoubtedly reduce the value of this storage bag in his heart.

Long Xuan sensed the strength of the restriction on the storage bag through his soul power and soon judged that this was actually the storage bag of a Spirit Sea Stage Gu cultivator.

He was shocked in his heart. How expensive is that Nether Water? Opening a storage bag of a Spirit Sea Stage Gu cultivator might actually lose money.

Spirit Sea Stage Gu cultivators are already considered a rare group in this world. The storage bag of every Spirit Sea Stage Gu cultivator is basically very fat. A poor Gu cultivator with a shortage of resources basically cannot break through to the Spirit Sea Stage.

Long Xuan's eyes turned, and he finally used his Original Realm ability, preparing to copy the table and the storage bag together. He wanted to see what exactly was in that storage bag.

At this moment, someone had already started bidding for this storage bag, and just as Old Qian expected, there were many Gu cultivators who liked adventure, and there were many Gu cultivators who wanted to auction this blind box.

Soon, this storage bag had been increased to 1 million Spirit Stones. At this time, the speed of price increase had begun to slow down. Every bidder had to struggle for a long time before shouting out the price.

1 million Spirit Stones was already considered very high. After all, the bidder also had to consider the cost of purchasing Nether Water, and the profit margin was already very thin.

Under the circumstance that most people thought there was no good stuff in this storage bag, 1 million Spirit Stones was already the limit. (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 337 =====
