Chapter 1009 The Clue To The Dark Bone Gloomy Fire
Everyone had got settled in the VIP room.
Austin, the Sect Supremo and the other fivepanions of Austin were waiting silently for the official
start of the famous auction. It was to start within an hour.
While they sat waiting, a beautiful waitress, with a pair of almond-shaped eyes, looked seductively at
Austin. She kept winking at Austin tantly whenever his eyes met hers.
Her eyes were filled with undisguised lust.
The waitress, who had been working at the auction ce for many years, naturally was well-trained
and experienced. She had be a keen observer. At a single nce, she could make out that Austin
was the head of the seven-member team.
''He was willing to pay a total of 3 million superior vital energy crystals to be allowed to enter the VIP
room. Without any doubt, he is a man with great fortune, '' the waitress thought.
She was nothing more than an insignificant figure whose cultivation base was simply at the medium
stage of Sky Realm, regarded as a very low realmpared to the others. Thus, her social status was
rtively low. But that did not stop her from having a fancy dream that one day, she would be in a
romantic rtionship with a rich and powerful man and be his wife. So, she would no longer be
the poor woman but be a pretty princess like Cindere, and would live happily and be wealthy
ever after.
With that fantasy high in her mind, she made continuous efforts to flirt with Austin.
Especially when bending down to make tea for Austin, she deliberately and continuously shook her big
sexy hips at him. She kept hoping he would be seduced by her. ording to her past experience, men
could not resist her charm.
Austin, seeing her deliberate attempts in seducing him, felt quite bothered and awkward. Unlike other
men, he had a strong and determined mind. Thus, he could not be seduced so easily. Having no other
way to avoid such an embarrassing situation, he simply closed eyes and began to meditate. He looked
like a monk trying to avoid the sexual advances of a woman.
Realizing that all her efforts at seducing Austin were in vain, the waitress now felt greatly irritated and
gritted her teeth.
Austin didn''t know nor did he care about her reaction. He had kept his eyes closed for nearly half an
hour until a sound broke his meditation.
A crisp bell resounded as it kept ringing slowly in the auction hall. The sound reached every corner of
the ce.
Hearing the sound, all the people present in the high-level auction venue felt refreshed and were in
high spirits. It meant that the auction would begin in a few minutes.
In an instant, the noise inside the venue faded. All the people became silent and waited for the official
start of the auction.
Austin, too, opened his eyes at once, and the first thing he saw was the resentful and sharp eyes of the
waitress ring at him.
To avoid further eye contact with her, he quickly steered his attention towards the ten square meter
crystal screen, which would broadcast the auction in real time.
Soon, everyone had their eyes fixed at the disy screen which was in the middle of the auction
venue.
An old man in a grey robe, who was exuding profound and mighty aura, was standing on the tform.
He beamed to the crowd in all directions and cupped his fists towards his chest as a salute. He was the
auctioneer of that day''s auction.
"He is a master of the Tribtion Realm!" Austin eximed silently.
He became curious. So, he released his spiritual force and immediately discovered that the old man''s
cultivation base was really at the Tribtion Realm.
"Wee everyone! Ladies and gentlemen, I am the host of today''s auction. I guess you must have
been waiting for a long time and have be impatient.
In that case, I will just cut it straight and move to the point.
So, now I announce the official start of this year''s auction!"
the old man dered loudly as he looked across at the crowd which was waiting with bated breath.
As an experienced auctioneer, he knew the mind of the audience and what they were eager to hear. He
was well aware that after waiting for a long time, none of them would be interested in a long, useless
speech.
Therefore, the meaningless introduction for the opening ceremony of the auction was intentionally
omitted by him. After an extremely simple greeting, he directly announced the beginning of the auction.
"Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention, please! Please watch out as herees the first
treasure of this auction,"
the old man dered in a loud and clear voice.
The moment he finished speaking, a gorgeous woman in skimpy clothes walked up to the tform
elegantly, holding a huge crystal tray in her hand.
In the tray, there was a small ck g which was the size of a palm. It looked dark and old and was
not very eye-catching. Instantly the audience showed little interest in it.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a special g.
It was discovered in an ancient ruin.
Called as the Dark g, it is a middle-grade holy weapon.
Although it may not look so attractive, its power is quite outstanding.
Inside this Dark g, there is a very strange energy called the Dark Energy, which can produce the
effect of devouring and erosion.
Be it any kind of vital energy force, spiritual sense force or even weapons, once it is contaminated by
the Dark Energy, it will be eroded and lose its power.
After this Dark g is unfolded, it can exude a lot of Dark Energy and guard its owner''s body. The
general attack can be blocked by it. Thus, it is really a rare and magical holy weapon with great
defensive power," the old man exined slowly and dramatically.
He was aptly aware that if he wanted to attract the audience''s interest in the Dark g, he had to
exin its power and specialties very clearly. Only then it would arouse them to bid.
Apparently, he seeded. After his detailed and dramatic exnation, many cultivators started to
show great interest in it. They couldn''t take their eyes off it. Rather their eyes were gleaming with
excitement.
Seeing them excited, the old man knew it was the right time. "All right! I think there are a few of you
who''d want to possess it! So let the bidding for the Dark g begin!
The reserve price for it is five million superior vital energy crystals! You could bid for it now!"
the old man dered, intriguing everyone present there.
"Six million superior vital energy crystals!"
Hardly had the old man finished speaking when someone cried out shrilly with his bid. The bidder''s
voice spread across the whole venue.
"Seven million!"
Immediately there was another loud voice announcing a higher bid for the g.
In the moments that followed, the voices for bidding could be heard continuously as they echoed in the
venue.
Austin looked at the Dark g with keen desire in his eyes. After all, it was a middle-grade holy
weapon and its power could be quite formidable.
But he had never heard about the so-called Dark Energy. He was eager to get the g and deeply
research the Dark Energy inside it.
He also realized that the purpose of his trip there was to look for the clue to the Dark Bone Gloomy
Fire, and if he bid for every treasure of the auction, he might not have enough vital energy crystals left
in hand. Thus, keeping in mind his real purpose, he had to give up the idea of bidding for the g.
After about 10 minutes had passed, it had be a fiercepetition. The Dark g was finally
bought by a guest in the VIP room at the whopping price of 18 million superior vital energy crystals.ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
It was followed by the constant bidding for other kinds of treasures.
Looking at those treasures being sold one after another, Austin could not help sighing in despair.
Though he wanted to have them all, he could not bid even for one of them.
''Indeed, the auction is a high-level auction in the Graystone City.
The items auctioned are either magic treasures of the holy level, or some very rare high-grade elixirs,
magical pills, or some powerful high-order vital energy refining form, or vital energy skills.
The final price after the bidding of each treasure is going beyond 10 million superior vital energy
crystals.
I am really impressed by some of the treasures. Even though I have great desire to buy them, I have to
force myself and control my impulses.'' Austin''s mind was racing fast.
The auction went on for an hour. Then came the moment Austin had been waiting for.
"Now,dies and gentlemen, the clue to an Unearthly Fire will be auctioned.
This Unearthly Fire is called the Dark Bone Gloomy Fire.
As you have managed to enter this high-level auction venue, I believe you are definitely not ordinary
people. Thus, there is no need for me to tell more about the traits and value of the Unearthly Fire in the
world of cultivators.
Every kind of Unearthly Fire, found between heaven and earth, is an invaluable treasure. In general, it
is almost impossible for an ordinary cultivator to encounter or obtain such a fire.
This time, we will only be able to offer the clue to an Unearthly Fire.
The careful evaluation and calction of the senior evaluators of our auction house, make us
guarantee you that the clue to be auctioned today is absolutely true and genuine.
The customer who gets this clue will have a great chance to find the location of the Dark Bone Gloomy
Fire after a careful research about it,"
the old man spoke slowly, so that the audience could understand the importance of the item to be
auctioned.
Austin''s heart skipped a beat and his eyes got fixed at the crystal screen. He was determined to get the
clue.
"So, now the auction for the Dark Bone Gloomy Fire will begin. This time, I will definitely get it. I don''t
care how much the price will be!"
Austin muttered to himself.
He was overwhelmed with joy and excitement when he saw the gorgeous woman in scanty clothes,
walk up to the tform again. She was again holding a huge crystal tray in her hand as she elegantly
walked on. Austin''s eyes were fixed on the tray as he waited to get a glimpse of the leads to the Dark
Bone Gloomy Fire!
