Storm Ruins Spirit

The second round of the auction began shortly after.

This intermediate auction consisted of 20 rounds of items, with 1,000 items per round.

The 826th item of the second round.

"The next item is quite rare: a scale from a Void Flame Ring Snake. The Void Flame Ring Snake is a special flesh-and-blood lifeform, naturally attuned to the Law of Fire Origin and the Law of Space Origin. This scale has many other marvelous uses, but I won't go into detail. The starting price is 200,000 Hunyuan Units! Please start your bidding!" Greer the host introduced.

Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow.

Naturally attuned to the Law of Fire Origin and the Law of Space Origin? Wouldn't that be perfect for me? No, wait, my talent in the Law of Fire Origin is already high enough, and this is a flesh-and-blood lifeform.

Lin Yuan pondered to himself.

"Help me look up information on the Void Flame Ring Snake," Lin Yuan commanded his Smart Optical Brain.

"Yes, Master!"

A moment later.

"Master, I cannot find any information regarding the Void Flame Ring Snake..." the Smart Optical Brain replied in a dejected tone.

Lin Yuan frowned.

I don't know its size or genetic level, but looking solely at law comprehension, it would only help me with the Law of Space Origin... No, I cannot settle for my first Clone. I should wait and see.

After considering it for a moment, Lin Yuan did not participate in the bidding for the scale.

In the end, the Void Flame Ring Snake scale sold for 820,000 Hunyuan Units.

Lin Yuan didn't feel it was a pity. After all, he had 10 million Hunyuan Units in his possession, and he should be able to afford most remains of peak cosmic bloodline races and special lifeforms.

Lin Yuan did not participate in the bidding for other items afterward. To be safe, he would not spend any funds unnecessarily until he obtained what he wanted.

Finally, the host displayed the 1,000th item of the 11th round.

"The next item can be described as extremely precious. Now that the auction is more than halfway through, this item should be able to raise the atmosphere of the venue once again!"

Hearing the host's words, the Immortals in the audience perked up with interest.

"This item is a piece of skin from the special lifeform, the Storm Ruins Spirit. The Storm Ruins Spirit is an energy-based lifeform, naturally attuned to the four major laws: the Law of Wind, the Law of Earth Origin, the Law of Time, and the Law of Space. The skin possesses secret patterns of these four laws."

"Furthermore, this Storm Ruins Spirit was at the Universe Level and was killed shortly after its birth. As for other information, I cannot disclose it. The starting price is 1 million Hunyuan Units! Please start your bidding!" Greer the host announced loudly.

As soon as the host finished speaking, the bidding began to soar rapidly.

"1.5 million Hunyuan Units."

"2 million Hunyuan Units."

"2.8 million Hunyuan Units."

A Universe Level Storm Ruins Spirit? It's an energy-based lifeform attuned to four major laws? And it includes the two supreme laws of Time and Space! My god! Lin Yuan's eyes lit up.

I must win this piece of skin! Lin Yuan immediately entered a bid of "4 million Hunyuan Units."

Lin Yuan ordered his Smart Optical Brain to search for information on the Storm Ruins Spirit, but the result was the same: nothing could be found.

Although I don't know the genetic level of this Storm Ruins Spirit, I absolutely cannot miss this opportunity. Even if the genetic level is too high to gestate, I can just sell this skin later. It would only be a waste of time, Lin Yuan thought.

Lin Yuan clenched his fists, watching the changes in the bidding price.

"4.3 million Hunyuan Units."

"4.8 million Hunyuan Units."

The bidding was still rising!

Lin Yuan directly entered "5.5 million Hunyuan Units."

But shortly after, the bid became "5.6 million Hunyuan Units."

After that, every time Lin Yuan increased the bid by 100,000 Hunyuan Units, the bid would increase by another 100,000.

It seemed someone was locking horns with Lin Yuan.

Finally, Lin Yuan gritted his teeth and raised the bid from 6.8 million to 7.8 million Hunyuan Units. The bidding finally stopped changing.

"Starting the countdown: three, two, one. Congratulations to this guest for winning the skin of the Storm Ruins Spirit!"

At the same time, the number plate in Lin Yuan's hand received a notification that the bid was successful.

I did it!

Lin Yuan was extremely excited.

It was fortunate that the two treasures he had entrusted to the auction previously sold for higher prices than expected; otherwise, he really wouldn't have had enough funds to secure this skin.

Since this was the final item of the round, Lin Yuan went to complete the payment and fill out the information as soon as his bid was successful.

Lin Yuan now had 2.53 million Hunyuan Units remaining.

With his main goal for the auction accomplished, Lin Yuan's nerves relaxed. He watched the remaining items being auctioned off leisurely while carefully contemplating the Storm Ruins Spirit in his mind.

First, the Storm Ruins Spirit is an energy-based lifeform. It has no soul, so it does not fear soul attacks, though it also cannot perform them.

Second, it is naturally attuned to the four major laws: Wind, Earth, Time, and Space. If I can successfully gestate it, the most important thing for me in the short term is the affinity for Space. If I can deepen my comprehension of the Law of Space Origin, I can continue to cultivate the next moves of the Burning Universe Flame Wild Axe, which would be the greatest improvement for me.

My comprehension of the Law of Earth Origin is not slow, but I don't know to what extent this so-called "attunement" can improve it. As for the attunement to the laws of Wind and Time, that is an unexpected bonus for me.

Lin Yuan felt a sense of awe; these biological materials, worth nearly eight million Hunyuan Units, were indeed far rarer and more precious than the Starlight Race or Demon Killer Race materials that had appeared at the preliminary auctions. There was truly a reason for such a high price.

"Right, if it can be gestated, I wonder how long the gestation period will take? Will I be able to finish it before the Peak Warrior Tournament?"

If he could successfully gestate the Clone before the tournament and seize the time to comprehend the Law of Space Origin, his strength might undergo a qualitative change for the upcoming competition.

A few days later.

"The 20 rounds of auction items have all been sold! As per tradition, we will now proceed to the auction of the 100 grand finale items!" The host, Greer, announced in a booming voice.

"Now, let me introduce the first grand finale item!"

A projection of the item appeared above the venue; it was a massive sphere with numerous small pits on its surface, from which large amounts of toxic gas were periodically ejected.

"A Zerg Mother Nest?" Lin Yuan immediately perked up.

"It seems many guests have already recognized it. That's right, this item is a World Lord level Zerg Mother Nest!"

A wave of intense discussion erupted throughout the venue.

"There is a Zerg Mother Empress inside this Zerg Mother Nest, but guests need not worry; the Zerg Mother Empress within has fallen into a permanent slumber, and all the Zerg Warriors inside have been completely cleared out." The host, Greer, explained.

"Guests with the capability are welcome to bid! I will not disclose any further information. The starting price is 0. Please place your bids now!"

Lin Yuan pondered for a moment, then entered his bid.
