The Supreme God of Martial Arts

Everyone had got settled in the VIP room.

Austin, the Sect Supremo and the other five companions 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 blatantly whenever his eyes met hers.

Her eyes were filled with undisguised lust.

The waitress, who had been working at the auction place for many years, naturally was well-trained and experienced. She had

beca keen observer. At a single glance, 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 realm compared to the others. Thus, her social status was relatively low. But that did not stop her from having a

fancy dream that one day, she would be in a romantic relationship with a rich and powerful man and bechis wife. So, she

would no longer be the poor woman but beca pretty princess like Cinderella, 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. According 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 place.

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 becsilent 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 glaring 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 display 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 platform. 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 Tribulation Realm!" Austin exclaimed silently.

He beccurious. So, he released his spiritual force and immediately discovered that the old man's cultivation base was really at

the Tribulation Realm.

"Welceveryone! Ladies and gentlemen, | am the host of today's auction. | guess you must have been waiting for a long time

and have becimpatient.

In that case, | will just cut it straight and move to the point.

So, now | announce the official start of this year's auction!"

the old man declared 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 | have your attention, please! Please watch out as here comes the first treasure of this auction,"

the old man declared in a loud and clear voice.

The moment he finished speaking, a gorgeous woman in skimpy clothes walked up to the platform elegantly, holding a huge

crystal tray in her hand.

In the tray, there was a small black flag 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 flag.

It was discovered in an ancient ruin.

Called as the Dark Flag, it is a middle-grade holy weapon.

Although it may not look so attractive, its power is quite outstanding.

Inside this Dark Flag, 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 Flag 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 explained slowly and tically.

He was aptly aware that if he wanted to attract the audience's interest in the Dark Flag, he had to explain its power and specialties

very clearly. Only then it would arouse them to bid.

Apparently, he succeeded. After his detailed and tic explanation, 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! | think there are a few of you who'd want to possess it! So

let the bidding for the Dark Flag begin!

The reserve price for it is five million superior vital energy crystals! You could bid for it now!"

the old man declared, 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 Flag.

In the moments that followed, the voices for bidding could be heard continuously as they echoed in the venue.

Austin looked at the Dark Flag 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 Flag 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 Flag.

After about 10 minutes had passed, it had beca fierce competition. The Dark Flag was finally bought by a guest in the VIP

room at the whopping price of 18 million superior vital energy crystals.

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 svery rare high-grade elixirs, magical pills, or some

powerful high-order vital energy refining formula, or vital energy skills.

The final price after the bidding of each treasure is going beyond 10 million superior vital energy crystals.

| am really impressed by sof the treasures. Even though | have great desire to buy them, | have to force myself and control my

impulses. Austin's mind was racing fast.

The auction went on for an hour. Then cthe moment Austin had been waiting for.

"Now, ladies 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, | believe you are definitely not ordinary people. Thus, there is no

need forto 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 calculation 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, | will definitely get it. | 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 platform 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!
