Summoning Players into My Game

Actually, not only were the major powers surprised by the auction's high fees, but Wu Zhuoqun, who was tasked with informing them, also felt that Hall Master Lin Qi intended to take advantage of the situation to overcharge.

A hundred Energy Crystal Stones, that's enough to cover almost half a year's worth of his cultivation resources.

"Uncle, let's not go in this time. A hundred Energy Crystal Stones per person is too expensive. In Cangyi City, a hundred Energy Crystal Stones could nurture one or two geniuses to enter the Bone Forging Realm, giving them a chance to qualify for the genius camp of Cangyi City." said a middle-aged man of the Long-Eared Race at the High Tier of the Bone Forging Realm, reluctantly.

"Since we're here, we must go in and take a look. If the Blood Coagulation Realm Cultivation Method treasured by our Long-Eared Race can be exchanged for something discovered by the Guard Robot, our Long-Eared Race might also become one of the six powerful clans of Cangyi City." An elder of the Long-Eared Race who had reached the Blood Coagulation Realm Initial Tier, though unwilling, spoke with determination.

They have lived in Cangyi City for many years, and after the hard birth of a Blood Coagulation Realm member like him, no other has appeared. The issue partly lies in the incomplete cultivation methods obtained from relics, but more so due to the lack of strength within the clan, restricting their access to resources.

In the Mist Mountain Prison filled with martial arts, just using cultivation methods above the Blood Coagulation Realm can be exchanged for Guard Robots. Even if all that's gained is some battle data, it's a hope for the clan's rise.

The middle-aged man of the Long-Eared Race could only agree helplessly and then paid two hundred Energy Crystal Stones to enter the auction venue.

Meanwhile, several other cities' various clan powers, harboring a gambler's mentality, also paid the Energy Crystal Stones to enter the venue, hoping their cultivation methods would catch the eye of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall. After all, what the auction claimed to be more resembled a trade fair. As long as the seller deemed it worthwhile, the trade would naturally proceed, given that above Blood Coagulation Realm cultivation methods across the Four Domains were all on similar levels, the distinction mainly lying between Initial Tier and Middle Tier.

"What exactly is this Hall Master Lin thinking? Surely he doesn't plan to trade Guard Robots for a bunch of Initial and Middle Tier Blood Coagulation Realm Cultivation Methods?" Hu Lei, looking at the Guard Robot displayed in the venue, expressed his surprise. He didn't expect the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall to genuinely sell Guard Robots.

Although cultivation methods entail issues of personal suitability, this is a minor concern — even if one cultivates a less suitable method, it would only slow the cultivation speed and make breakthroughs harder, but the final result remains the same. The most crucial factor is the level of the cultivation method.

No matter how many dozens of Initial and Middle Tier cultivation methods there are, they cannot compare to a single High Tier cultivation method. Exchanging cultivation methods directly like this seems absurd, leaving the actions of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall inexplicable.

Just as various powers began discussing upon entering the venue, Lin Qi walked onto the stage to preside over the auction.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Red Moon Auction." After surveying the room and noting the presence of all invited powers, Lin Qi said with satisfaction, "This auction not only features the Guard Robot, but our Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall will also regularly auction off Guard Robots and some special items. Furthermore, this auction will offer advancement opportunities within our Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, allowing someone to receive the treatment of a core disciple and learn all martial arts open to core disciples in our hall. However, the currency for advancement opportunities is Energy Crystal Stones, with a starting bid of five thousand Energy Crystal Stones, and each increment must not be less than a hundred Energy Crystal Stones."

"Wait! Hall Master Lin, after obtaining the advancement opportunity, is it possible to learn the martial arts previously used by those gray-clothed disciples?" Xie Feina, seated in the front row, couldn't help but ask.

"Of course." Lin Qi nodded without the slightest hesitation.

And with Lin Qi's words, the entire auction venue erupted!
