When the Imperial Capital Auction venue opened, warriors holding admission tickets flocked in one after another.
With thirty thousand seats, every spot was filled.
This was due to the presence of the Fifth-Rank Artifact Refining Master.
Lin Qiubai and Chen Shixiong sat in the front row, enjoying a prestigious treatment, with maidservants waiting beside them for orders.
Surrounding them were Nirvana Realm Experts, their faintly emanating aura causing Chen Shixiong's face to pale slightly.
Not far behind the two, in the fifth row of seats, sat Senior Brother Lin from Yun Yin Sheng Zong, sitting upright and composed.
Among them were formidable Transcendence Peak experts, including Mu Qianqian...
Although they had the qualifications to sit in the front row, they chose to stay with other Senior Brother Lin for mutual support.
"Lin Shidi, let's move to the back; I feel quite anxious," said Chen Shixiong.
Lin Qiubai was taken aback but stood up and moved toward the back. After all, he didn't mind a mere seat, and being flattered by others didn't feel particularly comfortable.
The two left and took their seats in the back.
The other Nirvana Realm Experts looked awkward but showed no signs of displeasure.
As time passed, warriors continued to enter and find their seats. There were still many vacancies in the back rows.
Not everyone was willing to spend a thousand Supreme Origin Stones just to witness a spectacle. Gathering twenty-five thousand attendees was already quite an achievement.
They sat upright and composed.
As the Auction House is about to officially begin, Lin Qiubai can hardly contain his excitement. There are several items he must have.
For instance, the Inferior Quality Sword Mold.
During tea time, the Venue is silent; pleasantries have been exchanged sufficiently. The walls and ceiling of the Venue glow with a brightness akin to daylight, leaving no shadows and making it impossible to hide anything.
Moreover, several Nirvana Realm Experts are scanning the area with their spiritual senses, like searchlights.
They ensure that no incidents disrupting the order within the venue will occur.
Everything is in perfect order. In the center of the Venue, a Lotus Platform slowly descends, and standing on it is Shang Ya, dressed in a purple gown.
The gown has a high slit, revealing her long, straight legs.
Her chest is partially exposed, and under the bright light, it appears particularly striking and smooth.
“Ladies and gentlemen, the annual Imperial Capital Auction has officially begun. Over the past year, we have gathered extraordinary treasures from across the world!
Each item is a masterpiece for martial artists.
Acquiring them at auction will undoubtedly be worth far more than their value. Now, Shang Ya will begin showcasing the auction items; do not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”
Shang Ya’s voice is soft and enchanting, laced with an unusual charm that stirs up excitement among some of the stronger individuals in the Venue.
However, the Nirvana Realm Experts, who remain unmoved, are also quite eager inside.
But they know that now is not the time to act; they choose instead to close their eyes and conserve their energy.
With a gentle smile, Shang Ya lets a wooden box, about the size of a head, descend steadily and hover in front of her chest.
Shang Ya extended her delicate hand and pressed it on top of the wooden box. With a snap, the lid popped open, revealing a flash of golden light.
Many martial artists brightened at the sight, leaning forward to examine it closely.
"A delightful appetizer, Li Pearl, Fourth-Rank Beast Crystal, has a considerable chance of allowing one to comprehend the Realm of Extreme Cold Ice. Starting bid: twenty thousand Supreme Origin Stones."
Shang Ya took out the Li Pearl and held it in her palm for display. A chill emanated from it, quietly wafting through the air. Just a glance at it sent a shiver down one's spine.
Lin Qiubai was not interested.
The so-called considerable chance of comprehending the Realm of Extreme Cold Ice was merely a gimmick; even with twenty Li Pearls, the hope was slim.
Moreover, Lin Qiubai looked down upon the mere Realm of Extreme Cold Ice.
His Soul Ice Flame was already top-tier.
He chose to close his eyes and rest.
However, Lin Qiubai's lack of action did not mean that other martial artists were uninterested in this Li Pearl.
On the contrary, its allure was immense.
The price quickly soared to forty thousand Supreme Origin Stones, and then it was excitedly claimed by a mid-stage Creation Realm martial artist.
As for the second item...
It wasn't until the fortieth item that Lin Qiubai finally opened his eyes.
The main event was finally about to begin!
Shang Ya cleared her throat, her voice as melodious as the song of a nightingale, and began to describe the advantages of the Sword Embryo.
"This is a heavy sword excavated from an ancient tomb. Although the blade is covered in rust, its strength is undeniable, easily placing it in the King-Level Lower Grade category.
It is indeed a divine weapon.
Starting bid: five hundred thousand Supreme Origin Stones."
A group of Transcendent Realm Martial Artists exchanged glances; the appearance of this ancient sword was quite unremarkable.
Especially the patches of rust, which were alarming to behold, as if it would be rendered useless with just one clash against another weapon.
Even if it barely qualified as King-Level Lower Grade, in practical combat situations, it might not even compare to a Spirit Level Peak Longsword.
A Spirit Level Peak Longsword only costs around several tens of thousands of Supreme Origin Stones.
In an instant, more than eighty percent of the martial artists lost interest.
Only a few warriors placed bids, but the price had yet to exceed five hundred fifty thousand Supreme Origin Stones.
"Five hundred fifty thousand Supreme Origin Stones."
Lin Qiubai slowly spoke. His purpose for this trip was to find a weapon. According to the hints from the weapon spirit, this inferior Sword Embryo, despite its unappealing appearance and extreme decay, was merely superficial.
If the impurities on its blade were refined and the Sword Embryo was tempered repeatedly and reshaped, it would unleash astonishing potential.
Five hundred fifty thousand Supreme Origin Stones was indeed a very reasonable price.
Who knew whether this Longsword was King-Level Medium Quality or Supreme Grade Martial Arts?
Regardless, Lin Qiubai is definitely making a profit.
"Five hundred fifty thousand for the first time..."
"Five hundred fifty thousand for the second time..."
As this infinitely potential Sword Embryo was about to fall into Lin Qiubai's hands for the price of five hundred fifty thousand Supreme Origin Stones, a voice came from the front row.
"Five hundred sixty thousand Supreme Origin Stones."
The young bidder wore an expression that couldn't hide his arrogance. However, beside him sat a strong individual who had just entered the Nirvana Realm, resting with his eyes closed.
Lin Qiubai frowned. The Sword Embryo, which could have been secured for five hundred fifty thousand Supreme Origin Stones, was now slipping away because of a dim-witted Cheng Yaojin.
It was absolutely impossible not to feel angry.
At this point, if he wanted to successfully acquire the Sword Embryo, he would waste several thousand Supreme Origin Stones unnecessarily.
If that young man continued to persist, Lin Qiubai would likely suffer even greater losses.
"Idiot."
Lin Qiubai muttered, raising the bid to six hundred seventy thousand Supreme Origin Stones.
The foolish young man indeed proved to be foolish enough, responding with a bid of seven hundred thousand Supreme Origin Stones.
Lin Qiubai raised his head lightly, a hint of impatience appearing in his eyes as he directly mentioned eight hundred thousand.
"Damn it, this guy is insane."
Jiang Qin glanced at Lin Qiubai and then sought Master’s opinion, ultimately gritting his teeth in resignation.
He gave up the competition.
Exchanging eight hundred thousand Supreme Origin Stones for a rusty low-grade Spirit-Level High-Grade Artifact was not something he would do.
That young man, however, might be so furious that his nose would twist.
Jiang Qin shot a gleeful glare at Lin Qiubai.
Lin Qiubai remained silent, knowing that he had made him spend an extra one hundred fifty thousand Supreme Origin Stones for no reason. How could he let this go?
You think you're clever, huh?
Soon, I’ll make your master spend one hundred fifty thousand more! It will hurt him to the core.
Lin Qiubai sneered inwardly.
Although spending eight hundred thousand was a great bargain, it was not a reason for Lin Qiubai to forgive Jiang Qin.
Ignorance must pay the price for its folly...
