《World Of Swords》92 : Auction
Advertisement
As time passed, the auction began in full swing.
The somewhat busy auction house quieted down as an old man walked down on stage.
"It is time for the once-in-a-century auction to begin, the value of each item will be guaranteed by the Myriad Heaven Auction house," said the old as a projection of an item appeared behind him.
"A really grand name for a faction so weak," mumbled Xu Yue as she looked at the defensive treasure behind the old man with no interest in her eyes.
"As the first item of the night, this is Earth Rank Defensive treasure Turtle Shield, as the name suggests, it was created by using the carapace of a thousand-year-old turtle."
"Compared to normal Earth Rank treasures, it's defensive properties are almost to times higher."
"The bidding will begin at one hundred thousand spiritual stones," said the old man with a calm look on his face.
After a few minutes of silence.
"A hundred and one thousand spiritual stones," said a voice from the same floor as Xu Yue, opening the floodgates.
"A hundred and ten thousand,"
"A hundred and twenty thousand spiritual stones,"
...
"Two hundred and fifty-seven thousand," said an old voice from the top floor, causing the entire Auction house to become silent.
"Two hundred and fifty-seven thousand spiritual stones once, twice, and sold," said the old man as the treasure disappeared from the stage.
"It's probably for a junior of his," mumbled Xu Yue as she waited for more useful treasures to appear.
After that moment, the auction continued on, at first, the auctioned items were of lower quality than the first, but at a certain point the quality began improving massively.
As she watched the auction, Xu Yue sometimes bid on some fun trinkets, sometimes winning sometimes not.

"It is time for us to begin the most awaited moment, the last ten items," said the old man, causing all participants in the auction to become inevitably more cautious.
After he said that, a beautiful maid holding a small tray walked onto the stage, the tray then slowly disappeared, causing a pill bottle to appear in the hands of the maid.
"I think this pill requires no introductions, this is a High-Quality Soul Raising Pill, the auction begins at ten middle rank spiritual stones, " said the old man, causing the faces of several people on the top floor to change.
"Fifteen middle rank spiritual stones," shouted a voice from the top floor, revealing an ancient aura.
Unlike most other cultivators other than those on the top floor, Xu Yue knew the use of the Soul Raising Pill.
This pill had only one use, help someone reach the Soul Enlightenment realm, the reason it was so valuable was that this pill did not care about talent.
No matter how talentless a cultivator was, he would be able to reach the Soul Enlightenment realm using it, this made the pill have huge value to those cultivators who had descendants who did not have many talents.
After a while,
"Thirty-one point five mid-rank spiritual stones," said an old woman as she furiously clashed with the others.
Right now, unlike before, no one else responded, leaving the old man on the stage to have to do his part.
"Thirty-one point five mid-rank spiritual stones once, twice, and sold to Senior Green Jade," said the old man with a smile on his face.
After that, the next five treasures were quite uneventful, an offensive treasure, defensive treasure, pill and formation flags.
But when they reached the fourth to last treasure, Xu Yue's eyes suddenly widened as she smiled.

"I should go to auctions more often if I have luck like this even now," mumbled Xu Yue as she smiled.
"This is a piece of treasure discovered in the endless void," said the old man.
"No expert of our Myriad Heaven Auction house managed to cause any damage to it, leaving us to speculate that it's a piece of Saint Rank Treasure," said the old man, causing the entire auction house to boil.
" The auction begins at twenty mid-rank spiritual stones," said the old man, not showing his worried heart on his face.
After a moment of silence, Xu Yue's voice sounded from the third floor.
"Twenty-one mid-rank spiritual stones," said Xu Yue as her voice made the auctioneer breathe a sigh of relief.
The moment Xu Yue's voice sounded, a young man from the highest floor suddenly had an inexplicable urge to bid.
"Thirty mid-rank spiritual stones," said the young man, unaware of the fact that he was being influenced by Xu Yue's luck.
"Forty mid-rank spiritual stones," said Xu Yue, sending shockwaves through the auction house.
"Fifty mid-rank spiritual stones,"
"Six-,"
"A hundred mid-rank spiritual stones," said the young man, but before he could do anything, Xu Yue's suddenly slashed at his neck at an incredible speed, waking him up from his trance.
As he tried to use his Dao to buy himself enough time, an entire world of fire seemed to appear between the sword and himself.
Contrary to everyone's else expectations, the world was immediately shattered the moment it touched with the sword.
Sadly, it had given him enough time to get off with only a small slash on his neck.
As he wanted to counterattack, the young man suddenly felt a wisp of foreign Qi appear in his body, before he could do anything, the Qi began consuming his own at an exaggerated speed.
Before he could do anything, it had transformed into a Boundless wave of Qi going through his body, transforming it to dust.
Not having any more time to think, the young man died in both body and soul.
"One hundred mid-rank spiritual stones," said Xu Yue without any emotion in her voice, causing everyone at the auction house to feel a chill in their hearts.
"One hundred mid-rank spiritual stones once, twice, and done."
"This piece of treasure will go to young miss," said the old without any emotion on his face
