“Wilson, we all understand the rules,” they said. “Please hurry up, we’re all anxious here.”
At that moment, a cultivator spoke to the old man.
It was clear that this cultivator was a regular, likely very familiar with the place. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have made such a remark!
“Okay, then I will reveal the first treasure to you all!”
After Wilson Lerront finished speaking, he casually waved his hand!
A staff member approached, carrying an item shrouded in red cloth!
As the red cloth was lifted, a statue was revealed to the crowd. However, the statue appeared extremely ancient and timeworn, seemingly adorned with patches of rust.
However, the moment the red cloth was removed, an aura of time-worn melancholy instantly filled the air!
Following this, Wilson infused the statue with a surge of spiritual energy. Almost immediately, the statue began to shimmer with a radiant glow. This holy light was incredibly soothing to the beholder!
Upon witnessing this scene, many of the cultivators became restless. Even Alastair was so, enthralled that he literally jumped out of his seat!
“Could this be a deity sculpture? I absolutely adore such things, you know. My home is filled with quite a collection of these deity figures.” Alastair’s breathing quickened, and he spoke in a somewhat excited tone.
Jared didn’t utter a word. Instead, he just quietly observed.
“Ladies and gentlemen, this statue was discovered in a cave at Demonia Mountain. As you may know, our Demonia Mountain was once the Celestial Battlefield. Countless supreme beings have fallen there, so it’s quite normal to find scattered magical items. Although this statue is a bit damaged and old now, there’s still a certain charm about it. If anyone wants it, it’s theirs for just five million spirit coins. Of course, the highest bidder wins. If anyone wants to raise the price, they’re welcome to. The starting bid is five million!” Wilson announced to the crowd.
“What’s going on this year? They’ve kicked things off with such a precious item. It looks like something left behind by immortals.”
“Five million, the price isn’t too steep, but the item is just a bit too run-down!”
“There should be more good stuff coming up.
Let’s wait and see!”
Numerous cultivators were whispering among themselves!
Yet, Alastair seemed a bit impatient, raising his hand and saying, “I bid five million…”
Jared looked at Alastair, a usually greedy fellow. Hence, Jared was surprised to see him acting so generously. Without any hesitation, he had placed a bid on this shabby statue!
Jared stared at the statue, unable to discern its authenticity. After all, their auras had been shielded, preventing the use of spiritual sense. Relying solely on the naked eye, it was impossible to make out anything!
“Someone actually wanted this fake trinket…”
At that moment, Vermilion Demon Lord began to speak within Jared’s consciousness field.
Is this fake? Jared was taken aback.
Of course, a deity doesn’t really look like that. And that holy light just now, it was definitely not a divine aura. A bunch of clueless folks like them, they’ve surely never seen the real holy light. With my Nethersky Eye, I can tell at just one glance…
Once Vermilion Demon Lord finished speaking, Jared felt as though the world before his eyes had instantly changed color!
Vermilion Demon Lord had opened Nethersky Eye for him. At that moment, intricate patterns began to appear on the statue in Jared’s view!
Jared was intently studying the statue when suddenly, it all made sense to him!
It turned out that just now, it was not holy light or profound aura at all. They all came from a very small array runes etched within this statue. Once activated by spiritual energy, the alleged holy light would appear.
Because these array runes was inside the statue, it was impossible to see them with the naked eye!
As Jared stared at the fake statue, he was suddenly on high alert. It seemed that the auction had been designed to suppress their aura, not allowing people to reveal their true aura. It wasn’t for safety reasons as he’d initially thought, but rather, it was likely a scheme to facilitate the sale of fake items.
After all, they couldn’t emit their spiritual senses to investigate. Relying solely on their eyes made it difficult to discern the truth. In this *way, they could openly sell fakes without fear of being discovered!
