Chapter 1709 1709-Auction
On the vast ancient path, a horse came.
On the horse's back sat a green-robed scholar with an elegant scholarly temperament.
That person was Tang Hao. He had come all the way here.
Not far in front of him, there was a majestic city.
This was an ancient city named southernmost city. It was said that it had a long history of more than 10000 years. The city walls were mottled and looked quite shabby.
It was also the largest city in the South of the ancient wilderness.
The ancient wilderness was so vast that it was beyond Tang Hao's imagination. He had thought that Pangu continent was at most about the size of the central sacred planet, but now that he had really gone around, he realized how wrong he was.
He was still wandering in the southern part of the ancient wilderness and had yet to leave.
In this ancient desolate land, there were three thousand ancient countries, which meant that there were more than three thousand clans.
Every ancient country had its own territory, and the more powerful it was, the larger its territory. More than 3000 ancient countries were connected together, not including the territories that didn't belong to them. One could imagine how vast the ancient wilderness was.
According to Tang Hao's estimation, it would take him a few days to get out of the ancient wilderness even if he used his primordial spirit to fly.
He was a second-tribulation Saint and had attained the Supreme primordial spirit, but he still had to spend so much time. Ordinary cultivators would probably not be able to walk out of this ancient wilderness in their entire lives.
Tang Hao rode on his horse and slowly made his way over.
"It's really broken!"
Tang Hao grinned when he saw who it was.
Along the way, he had passed by many cities. They were all in such a dilapidated state and looked particularly old and worn out.
The city wasn't big, it couldn't even compare to the cities on planet Dong Ling.
As soon as they entered the city, they were greeted by a wave of noise.
People were walking to and fro on the wide street. There were shops on both sides of the street. Tang Hao was familiar with the names of the shops. They were all famous Chambers of Commerce in the ancient wilderness.
Tang Hao walked around the place, then went to the elixir store. He strolled around the medicine store, then went to the restaurant as usual.
No matter where they were, be it Qiyuan, Donglin, or Pangu continent, cultivators could not live without wine. Restaurants had always been the most lively place, and it was also a good place to gather information.
He sat down and listened for a while. The news was very mixed. After all, this was the largest city in the South of the ancient wilderness. All the news in the South was gathered here, and the news from other places would also be sent here.
He listened carefully, but there didn't seem to be anything new. He had heard many of them on the road.
"AI! Did you hear? there seems to be a powerful treasure in this auction. The people of the divine treasure house said that it's a peerless treasure!"
Tang Hao's expression changed when he heard the news.
The divine treasure house was the largest Chamber of Commerce in the ancient wilderness.
"What treasure?"
Someone asked curiously.
"This ... I'm not sure. Every year, the treasures at the finale are not disclosed in advance. But since the divine treasure house has said so, it must be a good treasure. I heard that the news has long spread and those ancient countries can't hold back."
"That's true! There are always good treasures in the auction of the divine treasures house. I'm looking forward to it!"
"An auction ..." Tang Hao's brows furrowed when he heard the discussion from the neighboring table.
He really wanted to see the auction of the house of divine treasures. He wanted to see what kind of treasures would be sold in the top auction of the ancient wilderness.
He immediately went to ask around and understood the situation of the auction.
The time was seven days later, in this southernmost city.
This auction was held once a year, and the items being auctioned were all of the best quality. Every year, there would be a Grand treasure. Last year, it was an egg, the egg of one of the ancient overlords of the sky, the sky-splitting Sparrow.
Tang Hao had seen the heaven splitting Sparrow before. There were many descendants of the chaos in the first continent of Qiyuan, but their bloodlines were not pure. The ones here were all pure.
A few years back, there were a few 8th tribulation tribulation weapons and some ancient magical pills.
On Pangu continent, weapons of the eighth tribulation were top-tier treasures. The treasures of the true dragons and true phoenixes were known as Emperor's weapons, while weapons of the ninth tribulation were known as Supreme weapons. They were the top treasures.
Further up would be the legendary immortal treasure.
On the surface, there was no such thing. However, legend had it that there were celestial treasures in the 33 heavens.
"An 8th tribulation weapon is not of much use!"
Tang Hao muttered to himself. He had quite a few eighth tribulation weapons. The heaven battling spear was a true dragon's treasure, the great flame spear was a true Phoenix's treasure, and the Suan ni mirror were on the same level.
According to the standards here, they were all Emperor artifacts.
Not to mention that he still had the red bow, which was a true supreme weapon.
He wasn't too interested in an egg with a primordial bloodline. He already had a true dragon, so he naturally wouldn't be interested in such an egg.
Moreover, it was too troublesome to raise such a thing. He didn't even bring the Dragon with him and left it in Kunlun for the Taoist priest and the others to raise. It could be his Kunlun's Guardian beast in the future.
"Let's go and take a look first. We'll decide if we want to make a move when the time comes!"
Tang Hao waited.
Seven days passed by in a flash.
During these seven days, the southernmost city became more and more lively. People from all directions came to the auction of the divine treasure house.
This ancient city wasn't big to begin with, and now it was even more overcrowded.
On the day of the auction, Tang Hao left early and went to the divine treasure house.
One needed an entrance ticket to attend the auction. It cost ten thousand a token to enter. Tang Hao had prepared that beforehand. He also went to sell some medicine and prepared a lot of crystal stones to buy some things at the auction.
It was said that there would be more than a hundred auction items this time, and there would definitely be something that he would be interested in.
He came to the divine treasure house and showed his entry token. Someone took him in and brought him to the auction venue.
The venue was huge and round. In the middle was the auction stage, and around it were seats. There was also a circle of VIP seats, all of which were individual rooms and divided into several levels. There were hundreds of VIP seats.
Most of these were prepared for the people from the ancient nations. People like Tang Hao could only sit in the hall.
"Number 229!"
Tang Hao held the token and looked around. He finally found his seat and sat down.
People poured in one after another and found seats to sit down, gradually filling the entire auction hall.
The scene also gradually became lively, and there was a hubbub of voices.
After waiting for a few hours, the auction finally began near noon.
The auction hall suddenly turned dark. Then, a beam of light shone down on the auction stage. An old man stepped on the stage, cupped his hands in all directions, and said with a smile,""I, baoyuan, welcome everyone!"
"Everyone's presence is truly an honor to our divine treasures store!"
"I don't dare! I don't dare!"
"Old man Bao Yuan, what's the point of saying this every year? Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and start!"
There was a burst of laughter in the audience.
"Are you all tired of hearing this! Alright, I'll cut to the chase and get straight to the point. Let's start the auction!" Venerable baoyuan laughed and announced loudly.
