327: Chapter 327 The Giant of Light's Life Core

Lin Yun sighed. "Forget it, ordinary is fine. It's better than nothing."

He gathered his spirits, preparing to bid.

The host announced in a clear voice: "Seventh-tier Light Giant Life Core—Cyan."

"Starting bid: 200 billion Lingyuan Empire coins."

"Each increment must not be less than 10 billion."

"Now, let the bidding begin!"

Bidding voices rang out again.

"210 billion!"

"230 billion!"

"250 billion!"

"280 billion!"

"300 billion!"

When the price rose to 300 billion, Lin Yun placed his bid.

"310 billion."

His voice was calm, unhurried.

But soon, it was drowned out.

"350 billion!"

"380 billion!"

"400 billion!"

Bidding voices rose one after another, and the price soared all the way up.

Lin Yun bid twice more, but was quickly surpassed.

He thought for a moment and gave up.

Although this Life Core was useful, it wasn't a must-have.

Even if he refined an ordinary Cyan Light Giant, the boost to his own strength would be limited.

It wasn't worth spending a huge sum to fight for it.

In the end, the Life Core sold for 560 billion.

It was snapped up by a seventh-tier powerhouse who cultivated light elements.

Lin Yun leaned against the side of the pool with beauties in his arms, eyes closed, continuing to wait.

The auction was still ongoing.

There should be better things later on.

...

The next lots appeared one after another.

There were complete skeletons of sixth-tier Yao Beasts, well-preserved, with the pressure from their lifetime still lingering on the bones.

There were creatures associated with eighth-tier metal ore, pitch black throughout, with astonishing density; a single cubic centimeter weighed several thousand tons.

There were seventh-tier Origin weapons, such as a longbow made from the bones of an unknown beast, with a bowstring made from the tendons of some kind of Yao Beast that whistled with the wind when drawn.

Each item was very powerful.

Some biological remains appeared midway, but they were far inferior to the Diyang Giant Beast.

Lin Yun glanced at them a few times and lost interest.

Whenever the price got slightly high, he would give up.

It wasn't worth it.

Half of his Divine Thought was in the virtual venue, while the other half felt the warmth of Qianye and Lu Shan in his arms.

The three of them pressed against each other, wrapped in warm water, the atmosphere ambiguous and comfortable.

Lin Yun's hands wandered gently around their waists, drawing circles.

In reality, their breathing became slightly rapid, but in the virtual world, their expressions remained normal.

The other women knew it in their hearts but pretended not to.

They just watched the auction, occasionally exchanging a few words.

...

Another lot appeared.

The host waved a hand, and crystalline structures appeared in the center of the auction platform.

The crystals were deep blue, with scorching light flowing within.

The light was unstable, as if it were about to explode at any moment.

The host's voice rang out with a hint of passion: "Distinguished guests, this next lot is the supernova flare crystal!"

Lin Yun's eyes lit up instantly.

supernova flare crystal.

A crystal formed during a supernova explosion, containing violent light and heat energy.

This was a top-tier treasure for those who cultivated fire elements.

For the Diyang Giant Beast, it was even more of an excellent food source.

Lin Yun sat up straight, his gaze locked on those blue crystals.

He calculated quickly in his mind.

The Diyang Giant Beast was sixth-tier upon hatching.

Eating stars meant reaching the seventh-tier in two hundred years, eighth-tier in two thousand years, and ninth-tier in twenty thousand years.

It could grow just by eating, without any Bottleneck.

This was the strength of the Diyang Giant Beast Bloodline and its growth pattern.

But Lin Yun's Diyang Giant Beast Clone had only been hatched for a little over ten years and was already seventh-tier.

Why so fast?

Because the Moyan Star System was uniquely gifted.

In that star system, there were three different types of stars—Helium White Dwarf, Red Giant Star, and Neutron Star.

Eating them in combination made the growth speed countless times faster than eating just one kind.

It had only taken a little over ten years to go from sixth-tier to seventh-tier.

Now, the Diyang Giant Beast had reached the seventh-tier.

Going from seventh-tier to eighth-tier normally required two thousand years.

But with the three stars combined, it only needed four hundred years.

If he added the supernova flare crystal...

Lin Yun's eyes brightened even more.

Four hundred years, it could be shortened even further.

Two hundred years.

Two hundred years to go from seventh-tier to eighth-tier.

This speed, in the entire Universe, was a Heaven-Defying existence.

The host continued the introduction: "Flare crystals fall into many categories."

"The lowest is the Red Giant Star flare crystal, followed by the blue supergiant flare crystal, and then, the supernova flare crystal."

"Although supernovas are everywhere in the Universe, the formation of flare crystals is relatively difficult."

"Every time a supernova explodes, the quantity of flare crystals that can condense is limited, and the quality is uneven."

"But the batch of supernova flare crystals auctioned today is of extremely high quality, with an energy purity reaching over ninety-five percent!"

A gasp of amazement rippled through the scene.

A purity of over ninety-five percent was indeed rare.

The host paused and continued: "There are a total of one hundred sets of supernova flare crystals."

"The starting bid for each set is 10 billion Lingyuan Empire coins."

"There are no requirements for bid increments."

"The bidding time is ten minutes."

"After ten minutes, the top one hundred bidders will successfully win the auction."

As soon as the words fell, discussions broke out again.

One hundred sets, starting at 10 billion per set.

The total value was 1 trillion.

This was not a small sum.

But for true powerhouses, it wasn't too much either.

The key was that there were no requirements for bid increments, and the top one hundred bidders would succeed.

This meant that everyone could bid, and in the end, it would be sorted by price.

The highest bidder wins.

Upon hearing this rule, Lin Yun looked at his wives.

"Yingxue."

"Hm?" Su Yingxue looked at him.

"All of you, make your bids." Lin Yun said, "Help me bid for the supernova flare crystals."

Su Yingxue's eyes lit up, and she nodded: "Okay."

The others nodded as well.

Qianye and Lu Shan were shocked to hear this.

All of them? Sixty-one people, all of them bidding?

Qianye looked at Lin Yun: "Do you have that much money?"

Lin Yun looked at her and smiled: "Don't worry."

Qianye wanted to say something else, but thinking about how Lin Yun had casually brought out seventh-tier Origin weapons and battle armor earlier, she swallowed her words.

This family's foundation was terrifyingly deep.

Lu Shan thought of the same thing and didn't ask further.

Lin Yun instructed: "Bid in the last few seconds."

"Look at the bid of the person in the last place."

"Then increase the bid by one to ten million."

"Buy it at the lowest possible price."

Everyone nodded excitedly.

This was their first time trying this method of play.

It was nervous, exciting, and fun.

Lin Yun also called Qianye and Lu Shan to join in the bidding.

...

The auction began.

Information on the one hundred sets of supernova flare crystals appeared above the venue.

The current bidding situation was displayed in real-time.

The most expensive set, the current price.

The cheapest set, the current price.

Everyone's bids were up there.

At the beginning, the price rose very quickly.

From 10 billion, to 12 billion, to 15 billion, to 18 billion.

The speed was so fast that it was dizzying.
