Han Li's eyes lit up slightly when he saw the black giant claw, and he straightened up.

Ti Hun stared intently at the black giant claw, her eyes shimmering with strange colors, and her delicate body tensed up.

This Netherworld Ghost Claw was one of the two immortal artifacts that Ti Hun desired.

The others in the venue also let out admiring exclamations, discussing animatedly.

The fat old man pinched a magic seal and pointed. A magic spell disappeared into the black giant claw. The surface of this immortal artifact was surrounded by black light, and dense black runes flew out. Immediately, a powerful yin wind erupted, centered on the treasure.

Although there were restrictions set up near the auction stage, a bone-chilling yin force instantly swept through the entire venue, causing some of those with lower cultivation levels to tremble.

As the old man chanted, the black giant claw suddenly grew larger, transforming into the size of a house, and grabbed onto a black boulder next to the auction stage that was dozens of feet high and emitted a thick metallic luster.

According to the Sun Moon Pavilion's custom, whenever offensive immortal artifacts were auctioned, a demonstration would be performed to allow guests to more clearly feel the power of the immortal artifact. The black boulder was used for this purpose, having been refined using a special method, and was known for its sturdiness.

Several immortal artifacts had already been tested on the boulder during previous auctions. The black boulder was now pitted and uneven, but overall, it was still considered intact.

With a soft "噗嗤" sound, it was as if a red-hot knife had sliced through butter!

The black boulder easily shattered into more than a dozen pieces, and the cuts showed a tendency to corrode and melt, emitting wisps of green smoke.

The crowd below gasped.

And the color of excitement in Ti Hun's eyes was great, almost ecstatic.

Han Li frowned slightly. The attack power of this Netherworld Ghost Claw was so powerful that it could be said to be the most powerful immortal artifact since the start of the auction.

Judging from the prices of the previous immortal artifacts, the price of this Netherworld Ghost Claw would probably be astronomical.

He only had fifty million immortal essence stones on him, which was not a problem to bid on this treasure, but it would be difficult to cope with the upcoming auctions.

"This old man doesn't cultivate the yin ghost type of laws, so I can only unleash less than ten percent of the power of this treasure. If this Netherworld Ghost Claw is used with corresponding laws, the power will be unimaginable. Alright, I won't say any more boastful words. Let's start the bidding, with a starting price of eight million immortal essence stones, and each increment must not be less than five hundred thousand," the fat old man announced the start of the bidding.

"Eight million six hundred thousand!"

"Nine million two hundred thousand!"

"Ten million!"

...

Perhaps the demonstration effect of the Netherworld Ghost Claw was too good just now. Although there were not many people who cultivated yin ghost laws, there were still many people bidding below the stage. Before Han Li could even bid, the price had already risen to ten million immortal essence stones.

He did not participate immediately. There was no shortage of him in such intense competition.

Since he was determined to get this treasure, it was the same to compete at the end.

And Ti Hun next to him glanced at Han Li, hesitant to speak.

After a while, when the price rose to fifteen million immortal essence stones, there were only a few bidders left.

"Sixteen million!" Han Li pointed at a blue jade tablet on the table in the room. After a layer of blue spiritual light appeared on it, he quoted a price.

"Sixteen million five hundred thousand!" An old voice came from a VIP box not far from Han Li.

Han Li turned his head and looked over, his eyes flashing with a layer of purplish-black light.

Although the other party's VIP box had sophisticated restrictions, it could not stop his Nine Nether Demon Eyes.

Han Li had almost completely opened up the profound apertures in his body within the Asura Blood Gate. Some of the profound apertures in his eyes had also been integrated. In addition, he had cultivated the Heaven Fiend Suppressing Prison Art in one fell swoop, and with the flow of demonic energy, the Nine Nether Demon Eyes had also greatly improved.

After the Nine Nether Demon Eyes were initially formed, the pupils would glow with purple light. The deeper the cultivation, the stronger the purple light.

But when this pupil technique was cultivated to a high level, the purple light would gradually fade and turn black. When the color of the pupils turned pure black, it would be the perfection of the demon art, allowing one to perceive the Nine Netherworlds.

Han Li's Nine Nether Demon Eyes were not far from this state at the moment.

Sitting in the opposite box was an old man in a gray robe. Yin cold energy surged all over his body. He was actually an early stage Grand Luo cultivator, holding a white scepter in his hand, which seemed to be made of human bone and was quite strange.

The gray-robed old man did not notice the Nine Nether Demon Eyes' probing. At the moment, the expression on his face was a little nervous, as if this price was already his limit.

"Master, the person's soul fluctuations show a feeling of anxiety and nervousness. It seems that he doesn't have any more immortal essence stones," Ti Hun said, her eyes tightly closed, a layer of black ghost light floating on her body, gently pulsing.

Han Li glanced at Ti Hun in surprise and bid again.

"Eighteen million!" He added one million five hundred thousand immortal essence stones at once.

The gray-robed old man's face twitched. He took a long breath and put down his hands, obviously giving up the fight.

The others in the venue did not bid any more, and it was quiet for a while.

Although this Netherworld Ghost Claw was good, this price was already worth more than its value.

Seeing this, Han Li smiled slightly, and Ti Hun's face also showed a bright smile.

The fat old man was very satisfied to see the Netherworld Ghost Claw sold for such a high price, and was about to make the final inquiry.

"Nineteen million!" But at this moment, a cold voice sounded, coming from another VIP box in the distance.

Ti Hun's face sank, and she bit her lip.

Han Li's brow also furrowed. He looked towards that box, his eyes flashing with purplish-black light, and he instantly penetrated the barrier of the box wall, seeing the situation inside.

There were six figures sitting in the box, all wearing black robes and hoods, covering their faces tightly.

The black robe flowed with a water-like black light, which actually blocked Han Li's Nine Nether Demon Eyes. It was unknown what kind of treasure it was.

All six were sitting quietly, not knowing which one was the bidder.

"Hmm..." Just then, among the six, a slightly petite black figure raised its head slightly, as if sensing Han Li's probing, and waved its hand.

Immediately, a thick red mist surged in the VIP box, completely blocking Han Li's Nine Nether Demon Eyes.

"Twenty million!" Han Li's face also sank, but he quickly returned to normal and immediately said.

At the same time, he gave Ti Hun a look.

Ti Hun understood, closed her eyes again, a layer of dark ghost light rising from her body, probing the soul fluctuations of the person opposite.

"No, the person who bid also cultivates soul-type laws and is good at hiding. I can't sense the other party's soul fluctuations clearly," she said dejectedly after quickly opening her eyes.

Han Li's heart sank when he heard this.

"Twenty-two million!" The cold voice seemed a little impatient and suddenly raised the price by two million, wanting to knock Han Li down at once.

"Master, it's too expensive. Why don't we just forget it," Ti Hun hesitated slightly, gently poked Han Li with her finger, and whispered to dissuade him.

However, anyone could hear the hesitation and reluctance in her words.

"Twenty-five million!" Han Li gave Ti Hun a reassuring look and bid again, not giving in at all.

A commotion erupted in the venue, and everyone looked towards the box where Han Li was.

Han Li had already set up a restricted light curtain in the box, blocking the prying eyes of those around him.

"Twenty-seven million!" The cold voice was silent for a moment and raised the price again.

"Thirty million!" Han Li said without expression, suddenly quoting a high price that made everyone in the venue unbelievable.

He was actually very distressed in his heart at the moment. It was a bit too high to spend thirty million immortal essence stones to buy this Netherworld Ghost Claw, but he had previously promised Ti Hun that he would get these two immortal artifacts no matter what.

Moreover, this Netherworld Ghost Claw was indeed a rare and good immortal artifact, and it was very compatible with Ti Hun's law attributes, so it was not a loss.

In the opposite box, a tall, thin figure suddenly raised his head, revealing a pair of vulture-like cold eyes, looking towards the box where Han Li was.

A cold light flashed in this person's eyes. After a moment, he snorted and finally did not bid again.

On the auction stage, the fat old man asked the price three times with a red face, and finally announced the ownership of the Netherworld Ghost Claw.

Han Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but then looked at the remaining twenty million immortal essence stones on his body, and his brows furrowed again.

The other immortal artifact that Ti Hun valued was no worse than the Netherworld Ghost Claw, and its price would probably not be low. Moreover, there were also things that Jing Yan Tong Zi wanted. These immortal essence stones were probably not enough.

His eyebrows twitched, and his face showed a pensive look.

Soon, the auction house sent the Netherworld Ghost Claw over, and the person who came was Lan Mei.

Han Li paid the immortal essence stones, and Ti Hun immediately waved her hand happily, sending out a black light to wrap the Netherworld Ghost Claw and take it into her body to refine.

"Lan Mei, do you buy treasures here?" Han Li asked Lan Mei, ignoring Ti Hun.

"Of course we do. I wonder what kind of treasure Senior wants to sell?" Lan Mei's eyes lit up and she immediately replied.

Han Li waved his hand, and more than a dozen head-sized blue crystals appeared next to him, all flashing with terrifying lightning.

An extremely strong lightning law burst out from these blue crystals. Lan Mei's whole body trembled immediately, and her face turned pale.

Seeing this scene, Han Li waved his hand and sent out a golden lightning light to cover these crystals, covering most of the lightning law.

Lan Mei then steadied her body, breathed a sigh of relief, and thanked Han Li.

"These are Thunderclap Stones!" She carefully looked at these blue crystals, revealing a look of shock, and hurried closer to take a closer look.

"Miss Lan Mei has good eyesight. That's right, these are Thunderclap Stones. I wonder what price you offer?" Han Li asked with a calm expression.

Thunderclap Stones are an extremely high-grade material in lightning law materials. Although they are not as good as Earth Sovereign Crystals or Skygold Drills, they are not far off.

These Thunderclap Stones were accidentally discovered when he collected lightning essence in the central area of the Five-Colored Thunder Domain to refine the Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords. They are of extremely high value.

"These Thunderclap Stones are of extremely high quality. Each one is estimated to be worth more than one million immortal essence stones. Such a huge transaction is beyond my ability. Senior, please wait a moment, I will ask the deacon elder to come over," Lan Mei said apologetically and hurried away.

Han Li was not in a hurry, and looked towards the square below.

The auction had already started again, but it was not auctioning what he wanted.

He looked at it twice, then shifted his gaze and looked towards the previous box, his mind spinning.

The six people in that box were covered in black clothes, looking sneaky.

If they were just rogue cultivators, they shouldn't need to be so secretive. Could it be that the six people are from the Nine Yuan Temple, Hundred Forging Mountain, or Golden Origin Immortal Palace? I wonder what they are doing in Glazed Gold City?

A thought suddenly popped into Han Li's mind for no reason. Could it be that these people are here and it has something to do with him?

At the thought of this, his brow furrowed.
