The Ice Extreme Root smoothly fell into Zuo Dao's hands. After the previous incident with the Dark Star Stone, no ordinary family force wanted to provoke Zuo Dao. If they were to bid against him, it would be a significant loss.
One after another, Zuo Dao managed to acquire several items he needed. This was partly due to his domineering bidding style and partly because the items he bid on were not urgently required by those forces. Aside from the earlier contention with the Void Sword Pavilion, there was little competition for his later bids.
The people in the private rooms fell silent, and even those in the main hall refrained from competing against Zuo Dao's wealth. The entire auction proceeded in this atmosphere. The Void Sword Pavilion made several attempts to undermine Zuo Dao, but he countered with substantial bids.
As long as it was an item he had his eye on, he would secure it. Of course, he couldn't let them take advantage of him without consequence. Zuo Dao noticed that the people in the A-room were waiting for the final items to appear. He didn't mind giving the Void Sword Pavilion a taste of their own medicine when the time came.
At that moment, Long Zhanghong looked at the information in his hands and smiled wryly. It felt as if it had sprung from a crack in a stone; aside from details about when and where it had come from via Teleportation, everything else was blank. However, even with such vague information, he had to report it. If they were merely visitors, that was one thing; if they had ulterior motives, that was another matter entirely.
Zuo Dao continued to make bold bids for one material after another. To him, spirit stones were just numbers, and since his cultivation didn't require these items, he spent them without restraint. Fortunately, he had made quite a profit at Spirit Sword Mountain and Supreme Academy.
A large batch of materials—Nine Radiant Stones, Heavenly Branches, But Night Tea, Flying Flowers, Titanium Crystals—were all secured by Zuo Dao, which sparked curiosity among the crowd. However, the items he acquired were so varied that even the Ancient Ancestor of the Dragon Family couldn't make sense of it all.
Upon learning that Zuo Dao had brought three women with him, they could only assume he was spending lavishly for a laugh. They preferred to believe this rather than consider Zuo Dao a threat. Even if he had ulterior motives, there was no need for such ostentation. Subsequently, the Void Sword Pavilion received some intelligence about Zuo Dao and refrained from any further actions during the auction. Zuo Dao enjoyed himself freely, continuously pulling out spirit stones.
"Dao Ge, you really are tall, rich, and handsome! When will you give us something nice?" Feng Miaomiao's eyes sparkled not at Zuo Dao but at the items he had won.
"Don't cause trouble; everyone will get their share," Zuo Dao replied with a smile. "Right now it's all Ruckus; those A-room folks haven't made their move yet. It seems there will be more good stuff later. If I run out of spirit stones then, you'll have to lend me some."
Hearing this, all three women rolled their eyes at him in unison.
"Do you still lack spirit stones?" Huang Xishi retorted playfully, eliciting laughter from the ladies.
In the current Zuo Dao, there was no shortage of beautiful women and spirit stones.
This auction lasted a relatively long time, with many items up for bid. However, a mere month meant nothing to these Cultivators. A single retreat could easily last ten years, a hundred years, or even a millennium.
As the auction progressed, the items began to become increasingly exquisite. By the time of the final three auctions, several Great Powers had gathered.
The main event of this auction was officially underway.
The auctioneer had gone from one to three. In addition to the previous Dragon Plays in Water, two more Ancient Ancestors from the Dragon Family appeared before everyone’s eyes, demonstrating the importance the Dragon Family placed on these final three auctions.
“I believe the Lin family is aware that our Dragon Auction House's final three items are the highlights. Although there are not many items for auction, each one is a treasure among treasures; otherwise, Old Wu wouldn’t dare say such a thing.” Although everyone knew that the final three auction items were extraordinary, hearing Dragon Plays in Water say this drew everyone's attention to the auction stage.
“As per tradition, during every Centennial Auction, the final three items will not be included in the auction catalog handed to you all. However, I can guarantee that this year’s auction will be the most noteworthy in history because a Celestial Artifact will be presented.” At this point, Dragon Plays in Water's voice rose in excitement.
Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, figures shot out from various private booths. However, it seemed that the Dragon Family had anticipated this situation. The three Ancient Ancestors on stage made no move at all because they knew these people were just going back to fetch their money.
No one expected that the Dragon Clan would be so generous as to put a Celestial Artifact up for auction.
The three ancestors of the Long Family remained calm and unhurried to start the bidding. They could imagine the expressions of those in the audience upon hearing this news. They had also been surprised when they first learned of this decision but soon felt relieved.
That Celestial Artifact had been possessed by the Dragon Clan for countless generations; no one had ever managed to obtain it, resulting in numerous losses of elite members within their family. It was only after unanimous agreement at the Elder meeting that the Dragon Family decided to auction off this Celestial Artifact.
Upon hearing this news, Zuo Dao was equally astonished. After all, up until now, he had only seen one Celestial Artifact—the one held by Master Yan Zhen.
Only those who have seen or possessed a Celestial Artifact know its true power. Zuo Dao was skeptical of the Dragon Family's motives for auctioning off that Celestial Artifact, but it was none of his concern; he had already decided to only observe the popular items without bidding. The Celestial Artifact held little value for him, and he wondered if anyone would be infuriated if they knew his thoughts.
The crowd was also in shock, not expecting the Dragon Family to auction a Celestial Artifact this time. People hurriedly sent others to mobilize funds. The Dragon Clan seemed aware of the situation; although the auction had begun, it had yet to proceed. After waiting for a while, Dragon Ancestor III finally deemed it time to officially start the auction.
However, the items presented before this one failed to ignite everyone's enthusiasm, allowing Zuo Dao to take advantage of a few opportunities. Yet now, no one was paying attention to him. All eyes were focused on the Celestial Artifact, and they hoped Zuo Dao would bid on everything to reduce their risks.
Even so, the earlier auctions continued to break records one after another. Zuo Dao's participation ended up earning the Zuo family a tidy profit.
Finally, amidst everyone's anticipation, they awaited the last item of the event: the Celestial Artifact previously mentioned by the Dragon Family.
Escorted by two Elders, the long-awaited Celestial Artifact was finally brought forth.
The Celestial Artifact possessed a spirit; no matter how much disdain the Dragon Clan held, they dared not show any signs of relaxation or contempt.
When Zuo Dao saw what this Celestial Artifact looked like, he was surprised to find it was a pitch-black ruler, devoid of any celestial aura. If it weren't for the Dragon Family's reputation still holding weight, those present might have thought it was a scam.
