For a while, the old man seemed to dissolve in his mind while watching the painting in the hands of the two girls on the stage.
Even he had thought of wanting to raise the price of the painting, but a few moments later he abandoned his intentions before turning his eyes in the other direction.
"Hm... Maybe it's just my feelings." The old man's mind shook his head.
Ling Yan who had realized that, seemed to sigh in relief when he saw the old man shaking his head, because from earlier he could see that the old man from the heavenly sign Clan had almost raised his hand to raise the price.
"Young master! Are you seriously looking to buy this painting for a hundred thousand gold coins?" Gu Xingyi asked to be sure and was only greeted with a nod of the head from Ling Yan.
Without a second thought Gu Xingyi immediately ordered the association members to wrap the painting, and Ling Yan told Shuyang to take the painting for him.
By the time Shuyang came down to retrieve the painting, Ling Yan again turned his attention to the heavenly sign Clan representative who was also looking at him with a scaly facial expression.
"It seems like he is trying to see the power I have, unfortunately my eternal flame and heavenly spirit root will not let that happen." Inner Ling Yan.
"Klan heavenly sign, one of the five famous ancient Clans, I didn't think I could meet one of the elders of this ancient clan." Guo Kai said as he looked towards the old man.
"Customer klan?" Ling Yan who heard Guo Kai's words immediately turned his attention back towards the representative of the heavenly sign Clan.
He was so shocked at the moment that he only realized that the old man sitting in the VIP seat inscribed with the heavenly sign Clan was indeed a representative of one of the famous ancient Clans.
Ling Yan tried to see how much power the old man had and found that the person was already on the same level as Jin Yuan.
"What do you mean by saying that he is one of the elders, isn't he the leader of the heavenly sign Clan?" Asked Ling Yan.
Hearing Ling Yan's words made Guo Kai laugh.
"Hahaha you think that ancient Clan is only at the level of strength of a middle sect? Heh you're wrong.
The person before you right now is just a Clan elder who was ordered to disguise the true identity of their Clan, because the true leader of the heavenly sign Clan is already above the power of the holy swordsman." Guo Kai.
Ling Yan rounded his eyes at the moment of hearing Guo Kai's words, but coincidentally Shuyang had also arrived and gave the painting to Ling Yan.
"Is with you? Why are you glaring at me like that." Shuyang asked misunderstood.
Ling Yan instantly regained his senses from his daydream before grabbing the painting from Shuyang.
"I'm sorry, I was just thinking about something else." Ling Yan replied however Shuyang could see Ling Yan's lying facial expression.
Even so, Shuyang did not ask any further and chose to ask later after the auction was over, because according to what he saw, ling Yan's facial expression earlier was like it had a connection to the heavenly mark Clan that was sitting across from their place.
In the corner of the auction room, a white-robed man with an iron mask was staring at Ling Yan with a mysterious gaze, however it only lasted for a few seconds before the masked man left the treasure auction association.
Back to the auction.
"Well for the fourth item this time is the treasure Karun obtained by one of the elders of the Northern ice island sect in a place called the ancient tower." Gu Xingyi's.
"Finally the treasure belonging to the northern ice island sect, I'm very curious." Shuyang said so enthusiastically.
"The Treasure in question is a scroll of energy breathing techniques at the earth level called the science of war gods!! opened at an initial price of 2 million gold coins!! please start the offer!!" Shouted Gu Xingyi excitedly.
All the auction participants were so excited and had started to raise the price for earth-level respiratory science, even the price which was originally only two million had now soared drastically to 15 million, even though the sect elders sitting at the VIP table had not had time to raise the price.
"Maybe none of the people from the northern ice island are compatible with this respiratory science, since most of them train strength with cold energy, then.
Peach Flower Mountain Sect representative 16 million gold coins!!" Shouted Yao Qiu.
"Dam!! Don't think you can get it so easily, we from the thousand sword sect also want it, 17 million gold coins!!!" Shouted Wu Ya.
"Sect a smoldering fire!! 18 Million gold coins!!!"
"Representative of the Wei Empire!! 19 Million gold coins!!"
Seeing the price that kept rising made Yao Qiu cluck in annoyance as the price of 20 million gold coins had already reached its limit.
"Fuck off, had that old bastard not trapped me before, I might still be able to take out as many as 10 million more gold coins before his main item at the auction." Inner Yao Qiu was annoyed.
Just when Yao Qiu wanted to shout 20 million, he was already preceded by the Heavenly Sign Clan who put a price of 21 million gold coins to his silence.
Some of the middle-tier sect representatives had even given up on that earth-level technique and now the remaining thousand-sword sects were competing to raise the price.
"22 million!!!" Shouted Wu Ya yet it seemed like the heavenly sign Clan did not want to let go so easily.
"25 million gold coins." The shouts of the representative of the ancient Clan made Wu Ya surrender.
"Help..... Looks like I have to give up that earth-level technique." Said Wu Ya while sighing heavily.
He was so sorry for the technique because the technique was very suitable for him, especially now that the cultivation he had was in a dead end because the breathing science he learned was not too good.
"Klan the heavenly sign bids as many as 25 million gold coins!! Is there another offer!! First beat second knock!!" Just as Gu Xingyi wanted to announce the heavenly mark Clan had managed to obtain the scroll, a loud voice came back heard from the other VIP tables.
"27 million gold coins!!!" Ling Yan's shout made everyone in the room shocked especially the representatives of the heavenly sign Clan who put on a face full of annoyance.
"28 million gold coins!!" The old man shouted back but the person behind him slightly whispered to the old man moments after he raised the price.
"Elder, the preparation of the gold coins we brought will not be enough if you continue to raise the price of more than 30 million gold coins." Said that person and of course Ling Yan could hear it with the help of Guo Kai.
Ling Yan tilted a faint smile before again raising the price by 31 million gold coins and making the representatives of the heavenly sign Clan sit down.
"Damn it!! how many gold coins does he have!!" The clan elder was a heavenly sign, but it seemed that not only was he cursing like himself.
"first 31 million, second 31 million!! it's sold!! Congratulations to the masked young master!!" Shouted Gu Xingyi excitedly.
