122: The grand finale—everyone's making a move!
"Seventy thousand!"
"Eighty thousand! This old man is an Elder of the Artifact Refining Sect, and I urgently need this item for Artifact Refining!"
"One hundred thousand!"
The price soared all the way, and in the blink of an eye, it broke through the 150,000 mark.
Lu Yuan was not in a hurry to bid, instead watching quietly.
Until the price climbed to 200,000, the sounds of bidding gradually thinned out.
"Two hundred fifty thousand."
Lu Yuan spoke again.
His voice remained calm, yet it was like the final gavel.
The entire venue went silent.
It was the Heaven-Class Room 6 again!
Everyone looked over, guessing which super-rich tycoon was sitting in that private room.
"Five hundred thousand!"
Just then, in the front row of the hall, an old man with red hair and beard, exuding a sweltering aura, suddenly stood up. His eyes were like torches, staring fixedly at the feather.
"This old man is the Grand Elder of the Lihuo Immortal Sect, Fire Virtue Daoist Lord! This item concerns my attainment of the Dao, I ask Your Excellency to please show mercy and yield!"
One of the Ten Gates of the Immortal Dao, the Lihuo Immortal Sect!
This Fire Virtue Daoist Lord was a powerhouse at the Peak of Middle Stage Void Refining and held great renown among the fire-path Cultivators of the Eastern Wasteland.
However, Lu Yuan did not even glance at him.
"One million."
Lu Yuan directly added 500,000.
"You..."
Fire Virtue Daoist Lord trembled with rage, his beard bristling.
One million High-Grade Spirit Stones was too much of a premium; even Materials for a Transcendent Spiritual Treasure were not worth this price. Although the Lihuo Immortal Sect was wealthy, they could not afford to squander like this.
"Good! Good! Good! Your Excellency is wealthy and imposing, this old man admits defeat!"
Fire Virtue Daoist Lord sat back down, gritting his teeth, a trace of unwillingness and resentment flashing in his eyes.
In the end.
This True Fire Phoenix Feather fell into Lu Yuan's possession without any suspense.
After obtaining the True Fire Phoenix Feather, Lu Yuan could clearly feel the yearning and trembling coming from the five beasts spirit fire fan within the System space.
"Don't rush, I will let you advance when we return."
Lu Yuan soothed the restless Magic Treasure.
In the subsequent auction, Lu Yuan made a few more moves, bidding on some rare Spirit Materials and Spirit Medicine.
His immense wealth made everyone present look on in awe.
Qianjizi was even more red-eyed with envy, the fire of greed in his heart burning ever brighter.
"A fat sheep! Definitely a huge fat sheep!"
"This person must have a massive Treasure Trove on him! If I could kill him..."
Finally.
After several hours of bidding.
The auction drew to a close.
"Everyone."
Ji Shuang took a deep breath, her expression becoming unprecedentedly solemn.
"Next is the grand finale of this auction."
"This treasure, even in the Central Plains, is enough to cause a storm of blood."
She clapped her hands.
Four guards at the Refining Void Stage carried up a jade platform sealed by heavy Formations.
In the center of the jade platform floated a fist-sized crystal, translucent throughout, inside which countless spatial cross-sections seemed to be born and perish.
As soon as this crystal appeared.
The space of the entire auction venue instantly became extremely unstable, and pitch-black spatial rifts spread silently around the crystal.
A vast, profound, and seemingly heaven-and-earth-containing Law fluctuation swept across the entire venue.
"This is..."
All the Refining Void Great Powers stood up abruptly at this moment, staring fixedly at that crystal, breathing heavily like oxen.
"Seventh Transformation Space Law crystal!"
Ji Shuang's voice carried endless temptation amidst her trembling.
"This is the Dao fruit left behind after a Body Integration Stage Great Power passed away."
"Refining this crystal offers the hope of comprehending the Seventh Transformation Space Law, breaking through the barrier, and leading directly to the Body Integration Stage!"
"Starting bid—500,000 High-Grade Spirit Stones!"
"Boom!"
The entire venue exploded.
This was no longer a question of money; it was a ticket to the Great Dao!
"Six hundred thousand!"
"Seven hundred thousand!"
"One million!"
The bidding instantly entered a white-hot stage; ordinary Early Stage Refining Void Cultivators didn't even have the qualification to speak.
"One million two hundred thousand!"
From a private room on the second floor came an old and majestic voice, accompanied by a sharp Sword Intent that swept across the venue.
The Grand Elder of the Great Luo Sword Sect, Da Yan Daoist Lord!
A Late-Stage Void Refinement Great Power!
"Hmph, old ghost Da Yan, your Dao of the sword has reached a Bottleneck; this Law of Space is a waste on you."
In another private room, lightning flashed. The Grand Elder of the Purple Heaven Immortal Sect, Chi Xiao Daoist Lord, snorted coldly: "One million three hundred thousand!"
"One million four hundred thousand!"
Another calm yet slightly gloomy voice rang out.
The Grand Elder of the Tianlan Immortal Sect, Tian Lan Daoist Lord!
This person was the biological brother of Cang Lan Daoist Lord, who had been killed by Lu Yuan earlier, and was also at the Late Stage of Refining Void.
He had come this time not only to restore the prestige of the Tianlan Immortal Sect but also to seek an opportunity to break through to the Body Integration Stage.
"Two million!" Da Yan Daoist Lord did not show weakness.
"Four million!" Chi Xiao Daoist Lord held on tightly.
"Six million!" Tian Lan Daoist Lord's eyes were bloodshot; this was going to hollow out the entire foundation of the Tianlan Immortal Sect.
The Grand Elders of the three major Ten Gates of the Immortal Dao were bidding crazily, and the price soared, leaving countless Cultivators below dumbfounded, their hearts pounding wildly.
Inside the private room.
Lu Yuan looked at the crystal, his eyes also flashing with brilliant light.
"It really is it."
He stood up and walked to the window.
"Eight million."
A faint voice drowned out all the clamor and interrupted the contention of the three Daoist Lords.
The entire venue was instantly dead silent.
Everyone looked at Heaven-Class Room 6 in terror.
It was him again!
That mysterious super-rich tycoon!
He increased the bid by two million in one breath, calling out eight million directly!
The teacup in Da Yan Daoist Lord's hand shattered into powder, lightning raged around Chi Xiao Daoist Lord, and Tian Lan Daoist Lord's face was livid, his teeth gnashing and clicking.
Eight million... This was already approaching their limit; if they added more, the Sect would suffer severe damage to its foundation.
"Eight million one hundred thousand!"
Tian Lan Daoist Lord was unwilling; for the sake of a Breakthrough, he would not hesitate even if it meant bankruptcy.
"Ten million."
Lu Yuan spoke again.
Simple, direct, and brutal.
At this, Tian Lan Daoist Lord completely lost his voice, collapsing into his chair, his eyes filled with despair and resentment.
Ten million... This was simply an astronomical figure!
The entire auction venue was silent; one could even hear a needle drop on the floor.
This was absolute crushing by financial power!
"Ten million, once."
"Ten million, twice."
"Ten million, three times! Sold!"
As the auction gavel fell.
This Law crystal, capable of changing the landscape of the Eastern Wasteland, finally belonged to Lu Yuan.
At the same time.
Several powerful Divine Senses filled with greed, killing intent, and probing swept unscrupulously towards Heaven-Class Room 6.
Da Yan Daoist Lord, Chi Xiao Daoist Lord, Tian Lan Daoist Lord, and even the previous Qianjizi and Fire Virtue Daoist Lord...
These Refining Void Great Powers, who were usually high and mighty, now had eyes gleaming like hungry wolves.
An innocent man is guilty of the crime of holding a treasure.
Not to mention a "fat sheep" of unknown origin who only appeared to have some money?
"Hmph."
Facing this overwhelming probing of Divine Senses, Lu Yuan snorted coldly.
Boom!
A terrifying pressure of the Peak of Refinement Void, mixed with the domineering Qi and blood of the Ancient Desolate Sacred Body, instantly rebounded like a volcanic eruption.
