260: Chapter 260 Profound Yin Cold Iron

A small part of a Legacy.

An uncertain Legacy.

It would be best to get it, but if not, it's not worth forcing.

There is still a certain risk in something so uncertain.

This is why many people decided to stop bidding.

"Let them have it."

Beside Elder Mu Shan, a White-haired Child spoke.

"Mhm."

Elder Mu Shan nodded immediately.

"Forty thousand High Grade Origin Stones. Congratulations to the guest in booth 404 for winning the key to the Inverse Demon Cult's treasury."

In the end, it was the people from the Shangji Sect who won the key.

At a price of forty thousand High Grade Origin Stones.

This price made Lin Ming feel a little tempted; he wondered if he should sell the remaining key, as it might also fetch a good price.

In any case, keeping the thing was of no great use to him.

"The sixteenth item of this auction."

Two burly men carried up a large iron chest.

They carried the large chest in front of Auctioneer Xia Yin.

The two burly men stood on either side of the chest and did not leave.

Auctioneer Xia Yin slowly walked up to the chest.

"As you all surely know, above the sky lies a boundless starry sky, and within that starry sky are many treasures unknown to us. Only a True Monarch of the Other Shore may set foot in that starry sky."

Auctioneer Xia Yin said slowly.

"This time, the treasure comes from beyond the heavens."

At Auctioneer Xia Yin's signal, one of the burly men immediately opened the iron chest.

The moment the iron chest opened, an extremely powerful chill burst forth, rapidly spreading to the surroundings and allowing the independent guests on the first floor to experience the cold firsthand.

"So cold, damn."

"What is this thing now?"

"Didn't you ask around beforehand? This is cold iron from beyond the heavens, and it's no ordinary cold iron."

"It's so cold, I can't take it."

The items auctioned by the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce were never a secret; they didn't play the mystery game.

They simply told you all the products so you could prepare enough Origin Stones.

"Profound Yin Cold Iron, a Rank Seven spiritual object,"

Auctioneer Xia Yin announced.

The chill continued to radiate, making some of the weaker cultivators present unable to bear it.

On the stage, Auctioneer Xia Yin stood beside the Profound Yin Cold Iron, her delicate frame trembling slightly.

Seeing that it was enough, she signaled one of the men to close the chest.

Bai Cheng's gaze fell upon the iron chest.

His goal for this trip was this piece of Profound Yin Cold Iron; he could sense the extremely frigid Qi within it.

If he could extract this frigid Qi for his own use, it would definitely be a massive boost for him.

Therefore, he was determined to get this Profound Yin Cold Iron.

While the previous Inverse Demon Cult key was something he bid for on behalf of the Sect, this Profound Yin Cold Iron was for himself.

"If used well, this piece of Profound Yin Cold Iron might allow you to Breakthrough to the Late Stage of the Other Shore."

Gao Chi glanced at Bai Cheng and said.

"Yes, Old Ancestor."

Bai Cheng nodded.

He had been stuck at the Other Shore Level 6 for over three hundred years.

Now that he finally saw a hope for a Breakthrough, he was definitely going to seize it.

"There's a problem."

Lin Ming's brow furrowed slightly.

Despite it being Rank Seven Profound Yin Cold Iron, Lin Ming saw something different within it.

This piece of Profound Yin Cold Iron was no ordinary Profound Yin Cold Iron.

Lin Ming originally wasn't very interested in this thing—or rather, in anything at this auction.

He hadn't been interested, but now it was different; Lin Ming was somewhat interested in this Profound Yin Cold Iron.

However, Lin Ming definitely wouldn't bid for the Profound Yin Cold Iron here.

Bidding here would easily lead to trouble.

"Revered Master, I'm going out for a moment."

Lin Ming looked at Master Yun Hua and said.

"Go ahead."

Master Yun Hua nodded.

She didn't ask what Lin Ming was going to do, nor could she be bothered to ask.

Lin Ming walked directly out of the room. Seeing him come out, a maid walked over to attend to him.

Lin Ming simply gave the maid a look, and she turned back to her original position with a slightly dazed expression.

Lin Ming's Spirit Avatar appeared across from him.

"I'll leave it to you."

Lin Ming said to the Spirit Avatar.

"No problem."

As the words fell, the Spirit Avatar's figure vanished from the spot.

Lin Ming, meanwhile, returned to the booth.

The competition for this piece of Profound Yin Cold Iron began at that moment.

Ten thousand High Grade Origin Stones.

The starting price for this Profound Yin Cold Iron was ten thousand High Grade Origin Stones.

Bai Cheng wasn't the only one interested in this Profound Yin Cold Iron; Rank Seven Celestial Cold Iron was an excellent material capable of forging fine Origin Weapons.

"Sixteen thousand High Grade Origin Stones."

Within the Baijue Mountain group, Alchemist Tang Shuo, a Rank Seven Alchemist, was also very interested. If that old fellow were to forge this celestial iron, he should be able to craft a decent Pill Furnace.

It was about time he replaced his own Pill Furnace.

"Seventeen thousand."

"Eighteen thousand."

"Taking this cold iron is useless for you, isn't it?"

The White-haired Child looked at Elder Mu Shan and asked.

"It's useless for me, but it's useful for Senior Martial Uncle."

Elder Mu Shan said.

"If the Shangji Sect wants something, I can't let them have their way."

The latter part of her sentence was the main point.

To this, the White-haired Child looked helpless; over a thousand years old, yet she still had the Heart-Nature of a child.

"Twenty-five thousand."

In one of the booths, a man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes calmly raised the price to twenty-five thousand.

"Canghai Sword Pavilion."

Bai Cheng said coldly.

He knew that the people from the Canghai Sword Pavilion wouldn't let this Profound Yin Cold Iron go.

However, twenty-five thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones already far exceeded the value of a Rank Seven spiritual object.

But even so, there was still a scramble for the Profound Yin Cold Iron.

"Thirty thousand."

A lazy voice drifted out from the independent guest seats.

"This guest bids thirty thousand High Grade Origin Stones."

Auctioneer Xia Yin immediately looked toward the direction of the lazy voice and found where the person was.

This person was none other than Lin Ming's Spirit Avatar.

After leaving the main body, he had silently arrived at the auction entrance and contacted Manager Wang Hai, expressing his desire to participate in the auction.

Manager Wang Hai certainly wouldn't be negligent toward such a big client.

However, because all the booths were already occupied, he could only provide a seat among the independent guests.

If Lin Ming was unwilling, he would have to ask the Vice President for instructions to request some people to leave their booths.

Although doing so would offend some people,

Lin Ming was their big client, and compared to a big client, offending a few people was of little consequence to them.

The Spirit Avatar didn't have many requirements and didn't bother going to a booth.

Before he had even sat down, he placed a bid, pulling the price up to thirty thousand High Grade Origin Stones.

At the same time, he drew all the attention in the room to himself.
