This time, the auction held by the Ice and Snow Auction House was very large, and there were a lot of people who entered the auction house.

It was also because of that the people who came to participate in the auction were all mixed in. In an instant, even the Ice and Snow Auction House didn't dare to rashly offend them.

As such, they simply made arrangements for the auction.

They divided the auction into two floors. The hall on the first floor was used for ordinary martial artists to participate in auctions.

As for the second floor, it was filled with private rooms. Most of the rooms were reserved for the eight great clans of Fogsnow City to auction off. However, because the situation was special today, the auction house specially emptied many rooms to let those guests who had high statuses to rest.

Through the private rooms on the second floor, it was coincidentally possible to clearly see the situation on the first floor of the auction house. It was very convenient for the guests on the second floor to bid.

The method of auction was very simple, and it was even the most primitive form of direct auction.

Dugu Yifeng was sitting in the main hall of the first floor. The auction was about to begin.

With a single glance, he saw that the seats in the hall had long since been filled with a dense crowd.

Actually, if Dugu Yifeng revealed his identity as an esteemed guest of the Ten Directions Inn, then with the Ice and Snow Auction House's verification, it was likely that he would be able to enter the private room on the second floor.

However, Dugu Yifeng did not do so for a simple reason. He did not want to be too high-profile.

Today's auction could be said to be a grand occasion for the Misty Snow City. It could be said that all sorts of experts had appeared here, even though Dugu Yifeng had some strength to protect himself now. However, out of caution, it was better to keep a low profile.

Soon, the auction officially began. Under everyone's watchful eyes, an old man walked out.

Although the old man had a handsome hairstyle and an aged face, he had a unique charm to him, giving others a kind feeling.

"Eh, this time it's Elder Bing who's presiding over the auction!"

"That's right, that's right. I thought it would be Elder Xue, who has more experience in auctioning, I really didn't expect it to be Elder Bing."

As soon as the old man came out, Dugu Yifeng heard a burst of discussion coming from all directions.

After calming his mind and carefully listening for a few minutes, Dugu Yifeng gradually understood what these people were talking about.

From the discussions of these people, Dugu Yifeng came to understand that the Ice and Snow Auction House had two auction hosts who could be considered pillars.

One of them was called Xuelao, while the other was called Bing Lao.

From the names of these two people, he could deduce a lot of meanings.

Elder Bing and Elder Xue, it was obvious that one of them was from the Bing Family and the other was from the Xue Family.

Within the auction house, which was made up of the two great families Ice and Snow, the two great families controlled one each, even the pillars that governed the auction. From this, one could see how fierce the competition within the auction house was.

Elder Bing and Elder Xue, the two of them were of similar strength and experience, but from the people who regularly participate in the auction, it was clear that Elder Xue held a higher position.

The reason was simple, a lot of the records in the Ice and Snow Auction House were still kept by Xue Lao.

For example, the total number of items being auctioned, the price of a single item, the total price of all items being auctioned, and so on.

These records had undoubtedly made Elder Xue's status a bit higher.

According to common sense, this auction should be hosted by Xue Lao. But now, it had become the Ice Elder. There was something fishy about it, and the people participating in the auction had become very lively.

While Dugu Yifeng was curiously listening to the discussions, the auctioneer, Elder Bing, had already finished his opening speech with a smile and had begun the auction.

"The first auction item is the Blue Cloud Grass." Elder Bing's face revealed a wretched smile as he told the crowd below the first auction item.

Everyone was dumbstruck. They never thought that the auction house would actually take out such an item for their first auction item.

Dugu Yifeng couldn't help but twitch his mouth. This Blue Cloud Grass was something he had contributed to the auction.

However, he didn't expect the auction house to be so impressive. The first item was actually taken out by him.

Moreover, it was such an impressive auction item!

Tsk tsk! Dugu Yifeng was praising the person who designed the order in which the items would be sold.

Blue Cloud Grass was a medicine just like its name. It was used to avoid anything.

"King Class medicinal herb, Blue Cloud Grass, starting price, 5,000 silver!" Elder Bing stroked his beard and continued to host the auction with a decent look.

At this moment, the sounds of discussion in the crowd gradually grew louder. With a flick of his ears, Dugu Yifeng looked in the direction of the most intense discussion.

The people who had the most lively discussions sat at the front of the hall on the first floor. There were a lot of warriors sitting quietly around them. The calmness of these martial artists was in stark contrast to the bustling sounds of discussion.

Dugu Yifeng instantly guessed the identity of these people.

Those quiet warriors could tell at a glance that they were guards.

As for those people who had the most lively discussions, they were all wearing expensive silks and some of them even had jade pendants at their waists. Apparently, these people were the disciples of some big forces in the city. They were known as the foppish lads!

After guessing the identities of these people, Dugu Yifeng knew that there was going to be a good show to watch.

A hedonistic son who wasn't short on money and wanted to use it to avoid the Blue Cloud Grass was dead!

As expected, the foppish young lord was quick to bid ? 6000 taels, 8000 taels, 10,000 taels!

"Twenty thousand!"

Finally, a high-pitched voice sounded out, bringing the atmosphere of the entire auction venue to its peak in an instant!

"Twenty thousand going once!"

"Twenty thousand going twice!"

"Twenty thousand three times!"

"Deal!"

As Elder Bing slammed his hammer down, the first auction finally came to a complete end.

A whole twenty thousand taels of silver! This price made Elder Bing very excited. This was only the first item to be auctioned!

With a giggle on his face, Elder Bing seemed to have a premonition in his heart.

Today's auction would probably be the pinnacle of his career!

Sure enough, with the start of the first auction, the following auctions were all abnormally high prices. Everyone was amazed.

During this period of time, almost half of the items being auctioned were items that Dugu Yifeng had entrusted to the Ice and Snow Auction House a few days ago.

If these items were auctioned off, it would at least cost a million taels of silver.

At this moment, Dugu Yifeng had basically calmed down.

If nothing unexpected happened, a few hundred thousand taels of silver would be enough for him to obtain a map of the Heavenly Snow Mountain.

The items he auctioned were all worth at least one million silver taels. It was definitely more than enough to take down the map.
