Wanming Armguard, Life Seed Theft

Behind the Heaven-Controlling Pavilion, within the auction house, when the female cultivator hosting the auction flicked out a spiritual light and revealed the second auction item, Han Yi's heart jolted. His eyes abruptly widened.

Before him, within the wall's light screen, spiritual light swirled, revealing a damaged armguard. Han Yi had never seen this armguard before, but the aura upon it shared the same origin as the aura of the Wanming Book.

If he blocked out his vision and observed only its aura, he would have mistaken it for a weakened version of the Wanming Book.

An item from Ten Thousand Nether City! Han Yi was certain.

Sure enough.

The female cultivator hosting the auction slowly explained, "This item came from the Ancient Nether Dao Domain's dominant force from several million years ago, Ten Thousand Nether City."

"This armguard should be part of an ancient Celestial Venerable artifact. Though damaged and utterly devoid of spirituality, its material is exceptional. Once restored, it can reach the pinnacle of the Dao Artifact grade. Furthermore, those fellow Daoists who know of Ten Thousand Nether City should be aware that all of its items share the same origin. Therefore, this armguard also carries extremely high research value."

"Starting price: three hundred million Dao Crystals. Each bid increase must be no less than twenty million Dao Crystals."

Before this, although Han Yi had heard Daoist Su Yin mention that damaged ancient Celestial Venerable artifacts would appear at this auction, he had never expected the first damaged ancient Celestial Venerable artifact he encountered to be connected to him in some way.

Of course.

Strictly speaking, this armguard could not be considered a damaged ancient Celestial Venerable artifact, because it was only a small part of a complete suit of armor, and its spirituality had utterly vanished.
