Chapter 122 [Yang Yang Generates Yin Flower] Acquired

A woman with a graceful figure, dressed in a bright red cheongsam, walked slowly onto the auction stage with delicate steps.

Beneath the high slit of the skirt, her graceful lines were faintly visible, and her eyes exuded a captivating charm.

Her gaze swept across the closed private rooms with a seductive allure, her lips parted slightly, and her voice was soft and captivating.

"Good evening, esteemed guests. I am Xiaohua, the auctioneer for this auction."

"At this moment, I hereby declare... the Firelight Auction officially commence!"

She gently raised her hand, picked up the sandalwood auction hammer on the stage, and with a light flick, a crisp "thud" resounded throughout the hall.

As soon as he finished speaking, two burly men emerged from the shadows on either side of the auction stage.

The two men, their faces flushed and breathing heavily, worked together to lift an enormous, pitch-black skeleton, walking slowly and deliberately onto the stage.

The skeleton was unusually heavy. The moment it was set down, the sturdy auction platform trembled slightly and emitted a muffled rumble.

Almost simultaneously, the huge light screen behind Xiaohua suddenly lit up, and lines of clear information slowly appeared.

The woman pointed her slender finger at the enormous skeleton, her voice sweet yet carrying a professional calm:

"Please look, everyone. This is the skeleton of the Flower Stealer Dragon. A trace of Star Spirit Flower nectar still remains in the crevices of the bones. It comes from the large card domain [Dragon Domain] and is a blue card-making material."

The starting price is 300,000 Federal Dollars, and each bid must be at least 30,000.

Before she finished speaking, the sound of bidding immediately filled the private room.

"Three hundred and fifty thousand!"

"Four hundred thousand!"

"Four hundred and seventy thousand!"

The price skyrocketed, and in a short time, the skeleton was being sold for a whopping 700,000 Federal Credits.

Gu Ye sat in the private room, watching the numbers soar, his brows furrowing almost imperceptibly.

The premium is so high that it's clear there are quite a few wealthy card dealers involved in this auction.

Time passes little by little.

Auction after auction concluded, with rare materials, unusual cards, and bizarre artifacts appearing one after another, and bids rising and falling, creating an atmosphere so intense it bordered on frenzy.

After a full hour and a half, it was finally the turn of the [Yang-grown Yin Flower].

On the auction stage, Xiaohua's expression also became more serious.

"Next up is a special auction item with a mysterious origin: the unknown card, Yang Yang Sheng Yin Hua."

She paused, her voice lowering slightly, tinged with seriousness, "This item also comes from the Dragon Realm. It was retrieved from the depths of the lair of an adult Flame Dragon by our auction house. We lost three Platinum-level card masters in the process of retrieving it."

The entire room fell silent.

A Platinum-level card master is considered a top expert even in the entire Huoyang City.

What was obtained at such a heavy price is absolutely extraordinary.

"As for the specific effects of this card..."

Xiao Hua smiled gently, with a hint of helplessness, "Excuse me for speaking frankly, but even the best card appraiser in our shop cannot fully authenticate it."

"But we can guarantee that this is absolutely a very high-grade card-making material."

"Therefore, the starting price is ten million federal dollars, and each bid must be at least five hundred thousand dollars higher."

These words immediately caused an uproar in the room.

Discussions, questions, and complaints rose and fell in the various private rooms.

"What's going on at your Huoye Auction House? You dare to put something up for auction without even knowing the potential results?"

"Exactly! We'd have to pay someone to authenticate it ourselves after buying it. What if it turns out to be just some cheap, low-quality material? Wouldn't we be the ones who got ripped off?"

"Hmph, what's the difference between this and a gambler? I'm sworn enemies of gambling and drugs!"

Despite the skepticism from the audience, Xiao Hua maintained a professional smile, but a barely perceptible hint of sadness flickered in her eyes.

She was already certain that this mysterious item would likely fail to sell again.

Just as the whole place was in an uproar.

A calm, indifferent, yet clear voice that resonated throughout the entire venue suddenly rang out.

"Ten million and five hundred thousand."

The moment the voice fell, the entire auction house fell into an eerie silence, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone was stunned.

Xiaohua was taken aback at first, then her face instantly blossomed into a delighted and charming smile, and she immediately raised the auction gavel:

"Ten million for the first time! Is there a higher price?!"

As soon as she finished speaking, an old voice came from another private room.

"Eleven million."

Gu Ye's eyes turned slightly cold as he glanced indifferently at the private room and spoke again without expression:

"Ten million five hundred thousand."

This time, there was a moment of silence on the other end, followed by a deliberately magnanimous voice:

"Since you like this flower so much, young friend, I will not take it from you and will give it to you."

His tone sounded generous and magnanimous, but Gu Ye could clearly sense a hint of hypocrisy hidden beneath his words.

But Gu Ye also adhered to the principle of speaking human language to human beings and unconventional language to unconventional beings, and spoke:

"I'm a flower lover and I enjoy collecting rare flowers. Thank you for the gift, sir. I won't be polite then."

After he finished speaking, there was no more talk of raising the price.

"Ten million, for the third time!"

"make a deal!"

The auction gavel fell heavily, and Gu Ye successfully won the bid for "Yang Yang Sheng Yin Hua".

Before long, the maid respectfully delivered the sealed cards into the private room.

Gu Ye completed the transfer payment on the spot and put the ancient and mysterious card into his possession.

Night Phoenix, who had been dormant deep within his sea of ​​consciousness, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But the next moment, her delicate brows suddenly furrowed.

His gaze pierced through the private room, fixed on the auction stage below, his eyes slightly cold, as he muttered to himself:

"Soul-Locking Array... no, there's also the Bewitching Illusion Array. Several dangerous arrays are stacked together."

"The person who set up the formation can barely be considered to have achieved a minor level of mastery in formation techniques."

Her tone was indifferent, with a hint of condescending disdain.

"Unfortunately, they're not enough to impress me."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Xihuang gently tapped her jade finger.

A drop of condensed spiritual energy, as black as ink and shaped like a water droplet, silently overflowed from her fingertip and quietly merged into the foundation of the entire auction house, leaving no trace.
