On the silver mop bowl sat a red crystal the size of a rugby ball.
Its overall shape usually appears as an irregular block.
No one knows how it was formed.
Legend has it that it is the essence of underground magma, which withstood the pressure of the earth's forces, forming clouds over hundreds of years and crystals over tens of thousands of years.
Tuoba Yan once used a fist-sized Fire Cloud Crystal.
In terms of color, Fire Cloud Crystal is mainly bright red.
It was a red like a burning flame, so hot and unrestrained, as if it contained endless fire energy that could erupt at any time.
On the basis of red, there are also strands of golden lines.
These golden lines are like flowing magma, or like clouds trapped in crystal, winding through the red crystals, interweaving with each other, forming all kinds of wonderful and mysterious patterns.
Some are like fire phoenixes soaring in the sky, and some are like roaring fire dragons, as if giving the Fire Cloud Crystal a sense of life and vitality.
If you look closely, you can see that the interior of the Fire Cloud Crystal is not completely solid, but has many tiny holes and gaps.
There seemed to be a faint smoke floating in these holes and gaps. It was the fire energy contained in the Fire Cloud Crystal that was constantly flowing and converging, forming a unique cloud-like effect.
The auctioneer's voice came from the auction table.
"Our appraiser has confirmed that this is not a Fire Cloud Crystal, but a Meteor Fire Cloud Crystal."
"Everyone, please look! There is a purple flame in this Fire Cloud Crystal."
"This means it contains star fire and comes from space."
"Almost everyone here is a spirit master. I don't need to explain its value!"
"Alright, the starting price for the sixth item is 500,000 Gold Soul Coins. Each bid increment must be at least 10,000 Gold Soul Coins."
As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, the entire auction center fell silent.
Many people stared at the display screen on the auction table.
The auctioneer was not anxious, but instead enjoyed the calm before the storm.
About three seconds later, a voice came from the auction table. Someone pressed the bid button.
"Six hundred thousand!"
Many people gasped.
"Hiss~"
Just now, during the auction, someone raised the bid by 100,000 Gold Soul Coins for the first time.
It was obvious that some of the distinguished guests present were determined to acquire this item and were attempting to scare off some competitors by offering a high price.
"Sixty-one!"
"Sixty-two!"
"Sixty-three!"
...
"Seventy-five!"
Unfortunately, the reality is that prices continue to rise.
Twenty seconds later, the price of Meteor Fire Cloud Crystal skyrocketed from the initial 600,000 to 750,000.
Few people think about whether they are getting good value for money.
"Eight hundred and fifty thousand!"
Suddenly, the bidding price on the screen skyrocketed, with someone adding another 100,000 to the already exorbitant price.
"Eight hundred and sixty thousand!"
The price of 850,000 lasted for less than two seconds before being surpassed again.
Fire Cloud Crystal is produced from magma and is very rare.
Every year, people die while diving into the deep sea to mine Fire Cloud Crystals.
Almost no one would dare to do this, not even a soul master.
Normally, people would wait until a volcano erupted and then go to the site of the natural disaster to try their luck and see if they could pick up the fire cloud crystals that were ejected from the surface during the volcanic eruption.
In the market, the price of Fire Cloud Crystal is about 400,000 Gold Soul Coins.
The meteor fire cloud crystal from outer space, based on the size of the item at the on-site auction, has a price between 600,000 and 800,000.
The price of 860,000 yuan is worth thinking about whether it is worth spending a lot of money to buy it.
"Nine hundred thousand!"
The crowd was once again amazed.
Many people began to whisper to each other.
The mysterious man raised the price by another forty thousand. Although the increase was not as large as before, it was enough to show that he was full of reason and was determined to win.
Two hundred thousand gold soul coins are enough to support the annual expenses of an ordinary family of several hundred people.
Nine hundred thousand gold soul coins is no longer a small number.
Although Fire Cloud Crystal is rare, there are other fire-attribute resources to replace it.
There is no essential difference between Meteor Fire Cloud Crystal and Fire Cloud Crystal.
The former came from outer space, while the latter originated from the Douluo Continent. What the nobles were fighting for was nothing more than a gimmick and a sense of presence.
With the price of 900,000 settled, even Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and Xue Xing, the most esteemed prince of the Tiandou Empire, showed no intention of continuing the bidding.
"Nine hundred thousand per time."
"Anyone else bidding?"
"Meteors are rare, and Meteor Fire Cloud Crystals are even rarer."
"Even if you don't use this thing, it can bring you wealth just by placing it in your home!"
The auctioneer deliberately drove up the price and said some serious words.
There was complete silence in the VIP seats.
Everyone present knew that 900,000 Gold Soul Coins had slightly exceeded the market price of Meteor Fire Cloud Crystal.
"Nine hundred and one hundred thousand!"
The crowd was in an uproar.
There are actually people who are foolish enough to fall for the auctioneer's tricks.
Since bidding is not done by raising signs or shouting out prices yourself, no one knows who is raising the price.
Then, a scene of intense competition unfolded.
"Ninety-two hundred thousand!"
"Nine hundred and thirty thousand!"
"Nine hundred and forty thousand!"
"Nine hundred and fifty thousand!"
...
"One million!"
The bidders, secretly vying for dominance, kept raising their bids, showing no signs of giving up until the very end.
After a while, a Fire Cloud Crystal that was worth at most 800,000 was auctioned for one million.
"One million and one hundred thousand!"
"hiss!"
Someone in the crowd's eyes lit up.
The mysterious bidder raised the price by another hundred thousand to the already high price of one million.
The onlookers were in an uproar.
"Uncle Sword, is the item being auctioned now the Meteor Fire Cloud Crystal?"
Even Ning Fengzhi, the leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, couldn't help but begin to doubt his own judgment.
Ning Fengzhi wondered to himself if he had misread the image or been fooled.
You can't blame Ning Fengzhi for his self-doubt.
You know, from Taobao Street to auction houses, there will always be one or two items that catch the appraiser's eye.
Sword Dao Chen Xin said, "It can't be wrong."
There are quite a few people who share Ning Fengzhi's mindset.
"One million and one hundred thousand for the first time."
"One million one hundred thousand for the second time."
"One million, one hundred and eleven thousand!"
While waiting, another mysterious person decisively raised the price once again.
The auction of items has now become a farce of showing off wealth.
Sitting next to Tuoba Yan, Shui Bing'er whispered a reminder: "Brother Tuoba, the price is already over 1.1 million. We can buy a lot of other cultivation resources with that money."
Facts have proved that Shui Bing'er, who is still young and has a calm personality, is very suitable for being thrifty and managing the household.
Tuoba Yan stared eagerly at the purple-red crystal held by the maid next to the auctioneer and whispered, "I know. Trust my judgment. That thing is far more than the price I offered."
