Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting from Attribute Points Allocation

Chapter 539: Chapter 289: Auction, Return Empty-Handed_2

Lu Yun had no interest in these auction items, and was bored in his private box, waiting.

Time quietly passed, and within two hours, the auctioneer onstage finished auctioning off the last item and glanced over at the private boxes.

“Haha, I’m sure all of you are getting impatient, so let’s get to the climax of this auction!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the previously silent private boxes immediately became lively.

“Your Highness, it’s finally time for the climax of the auction.” In one of the private boxes, Chunxiang woke up a youth in a red-gold robe who seemed to be dozing off.

“Has it finally started?”

The youth slowly opened his eyes, revealing a sliver of a fervent glow.

“The Inheritance of Divine Power and the Nine Revolutions Golden Core Pill… I must obtain them both…” In another private box, a handsome and aristocratic young man muttered to himself.

He was Zhou Tai, the son of the Marquis Equal Heaven.

Marquis Equal Heaven was a Heavenly Human Realm powerhouse in Morigin, with outstanding achievements and prestige that shook the Great Wilderness.

Like his father, Zhou Tai was currently in the Rune Seed Realm. However, due to only being able to condense Mid-level Rune Seeds, he could not comprehend his own rune seed’s divine ability, making it impossible for him to step into the Golden Core Realm.

After hearing that the Purple Gold Auction House was offering both the Inheritance of Divine Power and the Nine Revolutions Golden Core Pill in this climactic auction, he had practically emptied the coffers of the Marquis Equal Heaven’s estate.

As the only son of the Marquis Equal Heaven, it was natural for his demands to be met, especially when it concerned his martial arts path.

As the VIPs in the private boxes grew restless, the auctioneer finally got to the main event.

He unveiled the first climax item placed on the auction stage earlier, and a sharp sword Qi was immediately released, causing a shudder to run down the spines of those seated at the front of the auction hall.

“As you can see, the first auction item is the Mid-level Treasure Artifact, the Frost Sword! Starting bid is two hundred thousand spirit crystals, with each increase not less than ten thousand spirit crystals.”

As soon as the words left his mouth, a crisp and melodious voice sounded from one of the private boxes.

“Three hundred thousand spirit crystals.”

In that private box, an elegant figure with an incredibly beautiful face surrounded by multicolored light was seated behind a screen of green silk, making her appear even more mysterious.

Next to her was another woman, with an equally exceptional appearance and a tranquil demeanor, who exuded a pure and untainted aura.

The two were the twin jewels of the Nangong family from Yang Province, Nangong Wan and Nangong Xue.

Shortly after Nangong Wan made her bid, other private boxes joined in, increasing the price.

“Three hundred and fifty thousand spirit crystals.”

“Four hundred thousand spirit crystals.”

…

Before long, the Mid-level Treasure Artifact Frost Sword’s price was raised to one million spirit crystals.

Looking at the Frost Sword that emitted a cold and sharp sword Qi, Lu Yun shook his head slightly.

He already had his Sky Brilliance Sword — even if he didn’t, he wouldn’t be interested in the Frost Sword.

The Frost Sword was of the cold ice attribute, which would clash with the Pure Yang Aura Origin in his body and the Great Sun Undying Gold Body he would achieve in the future, preventing him from unleashing its full power.

“One million five hundred thousand spirit crystals.” Seeing that fewer and fewer people from the private boxes were competing to increase their bids, Nangong Wan raised her bid again.

One million five hundred thousand spirit crystals was about the true price for a Mid-level Treasure Artifact.

However, the Frost Sword was no ordinary Mid-level Treasure Artifact to appear in the auction, so one million five hundred thousand spirit crystals was not enough to make the other bidders in the private boxes give up.

As expected, shortly after Nangong Wan spoke, another faint voice rang out.

“One million six hundred thousand spirit crystals.”

“One million six hundred and fifty thousand spirit crystals.”

“One million seven hundred thousand spirit crystals.”

…

Gradually, the entire auction house was left with Nangong Wan and another mysterious person in a private box continuously raising the price, both unwilling to give up as if they had become sworn enemies.

“Sister, let him have the Frost Sword. The Nine Revolutions Golden Core Pill is more important.” The ethereal and ice-cold Nangong Xue softly spoke.

“Little sister, the Frost Sword suits your constitution very well. I’ll make sure to get it for you.”

“But without the Nine Revolutions Golden Core Pill, it will affect your performance in the Heavenly Pride Convention.”

“Even without the Nine Revolutions Golden Core Pill, I am confident that I can break through to the Golden Core Realm before the Heavenly Pride Convention.” Nangong Wan declared confidently.

“One million nine hundred thousand spirit crystals.” The mysterious voice sounded once more.

With the Frost Sword’s price raised to one million nine hundred thousand spirit crystals, the auction hall grew silent.

One million nine hundred thousand spirit crystals — even some families in the Imperial City wouldn’t have enough even if they sold all their property.

“Two million spirit crystals.” Nangong Wan’s calm voice sounded.

“Hiss… Two million spirit crystals!”

In the hall, many people gasped, completely shocked by Nangong Wan’s bid.

“Two million spirit crystals… This is simply a blatant show of wealth.” Xie Yushi, standing behind Lu Yun, whispered in awe.

After Nangong Wan made an offer of two million spirit crystals, the mysterious person in the private box did not increase the price anymore.

Seeing that no one else was bidding, the auctioneer hammered down, announcing the Frost Sword’s new owner.

Not long after, sixteen Purple Gold Auction House guards lifted a cage covered with yellow cloth onto the auction stage.

Each of these guards was of Golden Body Realm cultivation, but as they carried this enormous cage onto the stage, they seemed to be straining under the weight, as if they were carrying a small mountain.

“Boom!”

The cage was placed on the auction stage, causing a strong commotion.

After the guards left, the auctioneer uncovered the yellow cloth on the cage, revealing a tall, ferocious demon beast within.
