403: Mermaid Princess

“The Emperor Grade Nine-Revolving Golden Core starts at six billion immortal crystals, with each bid not less than one million immortal crystals.”

“Everyone, you may begin bidding.”

The Red-Skirt Beauty said with a charming smile.

“I bid seven billion!”

The burly man immediately shouted, but his voice was instantly drowned out.

“Eight billion!”

“Eight and a half billion!”

… …

“Ten billion!”

In a short moment, the bidding soared, directly breaking the ten billion mark, but after ten billion, the bidding began to slow down.

It was finally acquired by the Xuanyuan Clan from the third floor for the sky-high price of twelve point eight billion immortal crystals.

The Xuanyuan Clan, as the head of the Five Great Emperor Clans, is the strongest known power in the Taichu Ancient Realm.

When they made their first bid, no one dared to continue bidding. If it wasn't for something exceptionally precious, even other super powers would give them Face and give up further competition.

Not to mention anyone else.

Otherwise, the final price of this Emperor Grade Nine-Revolving Golden Core would have been even higher.

Top-tier Emperor Grade Immortal Pills are priceless items that are hard to come by; being able to buy one for over ten billion immortal crystals is definitely worth it.

The subsequent auction items were much more ordinary, all of them King-level items, with most transaction prices within one hundred million immortal crystals.

The main competition was among the people in the hall.

Occasionally, an Emperor-level item would appear, attracting competition from the major powers in the private rooms and some Immortal Emperor experts; sometimes even the super powers on the third floor would make a move.

Basically, after every ten King-level items, an Emperor-level item would appear, maintaining the atmosphere of the auction at a relatively intense level.

Wu Ning's expression was indifferent; he had no interest in these small items.

Little Bai and Little Little's tastes were also increasingly refined, and they similarly did not think much of the items currently being auctioned.

The accompanying Elders and Disciples, however, did bid on a few relatively rare treasures.

Time slowly passed, and half a month went by in a flash.

The auction finally entered its final climax stage, with every item presented being an Emperor-level item.

Various Emperor Pills, Immortal Medicines, Divine Weapons, and rare treasures appeared like flowing water, leaving people overwhelmed. Each item started at least several billion immortal crystals, and the transaction prices were even more astonishing; only the Immortal Emperors and major powers had the confidence to bid.

The numerous Immortal Kings and Quasi Immortal Emperors in the hall were all reduced to spectators, drooling and extremely envious as they watched the precious and powerful Emperor-level auction items.

Even if they didn't bid on anything, just witnessing so many rare treasures made the trip absolutely worthwhile.

“Everyone…”

When the last Emperor-level item was successfully auctioned off, the Red-Skirt Beauty suddenly raised her hand to quiet the crowd.

A faint, powerful aura emanated from her, startling everyone in the hall. They hadn't expected this seemingly delicate and charming beauty to actually be a Peak Immortal Emperor.

“Next, we will begin the grand finale auction. Including the treasures consigned by the distinguished guests on the third floor, and several temporarily added items, this auction will feature a total of forty-nine finale items, each of which is priceless.”

“Therefore, the upcoming grand finale auction will be conducted by means of bartering, and immortal crystal bidding will not be supported.”

“You may present treasures of equivalent value to the auction items to participate in the bidding, and we will select suitable treasures for exchange from all bids…”

The Red-Skirt Beauty moved her lotus-like steps lightly, slowly circling the edge of the auction stage, her gaze sweeping across the entire venue.

Of course, her gaze was more directed towards the private rooms on the second and third floors. The finale items were extremely precious, and only the distinguished guests upstairs would be able to produce treasures of equivalent value.

“Now, everyone, please look at the first finale item.”

Click, click!

As she finished speaking, a large hole suddenly opened in the center of the auction stage, and then a huge transparent crystal box slowly rose.

It was filled with water, and two petite Merfolk swam within it.

They looked exactly alike, wearing close-fitting dresses woven from moon-white aquatic plants, with graceful, curvaceous figures.

Their upper bodies were human, with hair like diffused ink, skin clear and snow-white, and exquisite, flawless features, like a magnificent masterpiece meticulously carved by the Creator, breathtakingly beautiful.

Below their waists was a beautiful fish tail, covered with a layer of colorful fish scales. Upon closer inspection, each scale looked like a perfect work of art, emitting a shimmering nine-colored luster.

“What beautiful Merfolk!”

“They actually look exactly alike, as if carved from the same mold. Could they be a pair of twins…?”

“Although Merfolk are precious, they are not enough to be a finale item. Could there be something special about these two Merfolk?”

Everyone's gaze was instantly drawn, and they discussed animatedly as they observed the two exquisite Merfolk.

“What strong Bloodline Power!”

Wu Ning's eyes narrowed slightly. The Bloodline of these two little mermaids was so strong that it was almost comparable to a True Dragon.

… …

On the auction stage.

The Red-Skirt Beauty smiled charmingly and began to introduce: “As you can see, the first finale item is a pair of Merfolk. They are a pair of twins, possessing a wonderful telepathic connection. If one is injured, the other will also feel pain…”

Upon hearing this, many people unconsciously curled their lips, revealing a knowing smile.

Especially some Young Masters from major powers, their eyes flickered, already somewhat eager to make a move.

“Most importantly…” The Red-Skirt Beauty's tone suddenly rose a few notches.

“They are princesses of the Merfolk Kingdom, possessing the purest Merfolk royal Bloodline.”

“Furthermore, a trace of Bloodline reversion has occurred, making their Bloodline comparable to a top-tier Divine Beast, with terrifying talent and unlimited potential.”

“They are only a little over a hundred years old and are already in the True Immortal Realm. As long as they are properly Cultivated, they will surely be able to Cultivate to the Immortal Emperor Realm in the future, and if they have enough Opportunity, it is not impossible for them to Breakthrough beyond the Immortal Emperor!”

“Bloodline comparable to a top-tier Divine Beast?”

At this moment, even the Clan Chiefs of the major powers, and some old monsters, were also piqued with interest.

Top-tier Divine Beasts are rare, and they often have a powerful clan behind them, such as the Dragon and Phoenix, which are top-tier Divine Beasts that ordinary people would not dare to covet.

Top-tier Divine Beasts without powerful clans behind them are even rarer, especially in the Taichu Ancient Realm; even the major super powers may not have them.

Seeing the hint of shock on everyone's Faces, the Red-Skirt Beauty smiled slightly and continued:

“I'm sure everyone knows that Merfolk pearls are a type of top-grade Heaven And Earth Treasure. The pearls formed by Merfolk with royal Bloodline are even more precious.”

“Furthermore, this pair of Merfolk princesses are exceptionally gifted. Not only do they possess voices like the sounds of nature, but their singing also has the miraculous effect of assisting Cultivation…”

“No need for further introduction. This sect offers an immortal divine medicine—the Seven-Colored Glazed Flower!”

A powerful voice came from a private room on the second floor.

Immediately after, people from the other private rooms on the second floor spoke up one after another.

“This venerable one offers a Nine-Curved Profound Yellow Ginseng!”

“A Low Grade Dao Artifact, the Immeasurable Ruler!”

“This Clan Chief offers a Grand Void Enlightenment Pill!”

“… …”
