Gu King Special Auction Begins

"Forget it! I never even considered bidding on that knife. Renowned Blade are priceless; holding them would be too much of a burden and would easily attract unwanted attention."

"I used that knife to lure Feng Si into a trap; I really had no intention of taking it down," Long Xuan said truthfully.

"Is that so?" Long Ziyan gave him a strange look and guessed, "You probably don't want the Blade Gu to take this transformation path, do you?"

"Then you must be trying to transform the Blade Gu by fusing it with Blade Intent."

"Whether this path of transformation is followed depends entirely on the strength of the Blade Intent resulting from the fusion of the Blade Gu."

"If the Blade Intent is weak, then this transformation path will be useless."

"If the Blade Intent is very strong, then the upper limit of this transformation path will far exceed the transformation method of fusing with a sword."

"Once the Blade Gu merges with the Blade Intent, it will be able to follow the path of human blade cultivation."

"At that time, he will no longer be a Gu Insect, but a person who can cultivate like a human, and will also possess the same realm system as sword cultivators. Once the Blade Gu embarks on the path of sword cultivation, it will become extremely powerful."

"But you can't find sword cultivators in the Gu World, so where are you going to find Blade Intent?" Long Ziyan looked at Long Xuan with a puzzled expression.

Long Xuan glanced at the woman helplessly. How could this woman always read his mind? Did they really have such a perfect understanding as a married couple?

Now that Long Ziyan had seen through it, Long Xuan decided not to hide anything and said seriously, "In the Gu World, I only need to find three kinds of Blade Intent."

"The Gu World is vast; it's impossible that we can't even find three types of Blade Intent."

"I already possess one of those Blade Intent; it's right here, though it's far away."

Looking into Long Ziyan's eyes Long Xuan said, "You have Sword Bone; you are a sword cultivator with monstrous talent. You will definitely be able to comprehend Sword Intent in the future."

"Sword Intent and Blade Intent share the same origin and are similar in nature. The Blade Gu can completely merge with Sword Intent, so pursuing the path of mastering both sword and saber is the same."

Long Ziyan shook her head and said with a wry smile, "You're probably overestimating me. In the world of sword cultivators, I'm sure I can comprehend Sword Intent."

"But in a world without swords, without skilled swordsmen to spar with, without many sword manuals, and without renowned masters to guide me, how could I possibly comprehend the Sword Intent? I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you."

"Don't underestimate yourself; I have absolute confidence in you."

Long Xuan gave her a confident smile. He had made up his mind that even if Long Ziyan couldn't comprehend Sword Intent Sword Intent, he had a way to help her. His greatest strength was research, and he didn't think this problem could stump him.

Upon returning home, Long Xuan couldn't wait to release his Flame Clone and then ordered it to track Feng Si.

If he dares to leave the city, have Flame Clone secretly kill him.

Long Xuan felt that sending a single clone to deal with someone without Gu Insect would be enough.

Afterwards, he went into the secret chamber, where he created the "Ten Ultimates Saber Technique" while waiting for good news from Flame Clone.

After successfully creating his own dual Cultivation Method, he finally had time to study the "Ten Ultimates Saber Technique".

Every day, his clone would transmit Law Treasure "Ten Thousand Techniques" he learned from the basement of the Scripture Repository Tower to his main body. Long Xuan mastered a large number of techniques for breaking various abilities without breaking a sweat. He then summarized these techniques and compiled the "Ten Ultimates Saber Technique," which could break everything.

This will undoubtedly be a long process, likely taking years. To create a sword technique capable of breaking through all laws, there is simply too much to learn. How could it be developed in just a few months? Long Xuan is prepared for a protracted battle.

In his view, spending so much time studying this sword technique was definitely worthwhile.

Because the "Ten Ultimates Saber Technique" can be used not only by Blade Gu, but also by oneself as a Gu cultivator; once learned, one will benefit from it for life.

The Ten Ultimates Saber Technique, capable of breaking through all other sword techniques in the world, are undoubtedly the strongest sword technique in concept, and theoretically the absolute number one.

Once I master this swordsmanship, no one will dare to challenge me in swordsmanship in the future.

This is an invincible technique, and it's worth spending years studying it.

With his self-created, conceptually strongest sword technique, Long Xuan was full of energy, and the sound of pen nibs scratching paper could be heard constantly in the room.

But not long after, Flame Clone suddenly walked in from outside. He returned quite quickly. Long Xuan looked up at him in surprise, slowly put down his pen, and immediately asked, "How did things go?"

The Flame Clone gave him a strange look and said, "When I found him with the Eye of Heavenly Secrets, he was already dead outside the city, killed by a sword to the throat. I don't know who did it."

"What?!" Long Xuan was shocked. "Dead? Who was so quick to kill him?! They were so greedy!"

Time flew by and it was evening.

Long Xuan finally stopped working on his liver-slaying technique, put down his pen, stood up, stretched, and then walked out of the secret room. He looked up, found the tallest building in the clan, used Starstep, and lightly touched his toes to land on the tallest spire.

Then he looked in the direction of Qian Clan Auction House.

Standing higher, one can see further. With the far-sightedness of the Eye of Heavenly Secrets, the situation inside the auction was laid out before him. This angle was just right, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on Long Xuan's lips.

The auction had now reached its third session, which was a special session for the Gu King. All the Gu King in the city had gathered at the auction, along with a massive number of Gu King Gu King from the Outer City and other remote regions. Their powerful auras were countless.

The most valuable treasures collected by the Qian Clan Merchant Association will be auctioned off at this event.

This included the Living Wood that all the Gu King coveted. It was this Living Wood that attracted half of the Gu King of the Western Land to this place, and even the Gu King from the distant outer realms rushed here in time.

While powerful individuals at the Gu King level are certainly rare, concentrating all the Gu King from a vast region in one place would be enough to create a situation where Gu King are as common as dogs.

Long Xuan dared not use his soul power to probe the Gu King level experts, so he did not know how many Gu King were gathered in the city at this time, but there were definitely more than a hundred Gu King.

A considerable number of Gu King knew they couldn't compete for the Living Wood with their own resources. Some of them came here just to watch the spectacle. Legend has it that Heaven-grade Spirit Medicine are extremely rare, and who wouldn't be curious?

Some of them even decided to rob it. They had no intention of using their money to buy the Living Wood Living Wood at the auction; they would wait for someone to buy it and take it out of the city before they could steal it.

A significant number of Gu King harbored such thoughts; they simply didn't intend to participate in the auction and instead lay in ambush outside long beforehand.

Some cunning Gu King come here with the intention of taking advantage of the chaos. They wait for the chaos to break in, and if there is an opportunity, they will seize it; if not, they will flee. They will never take any risks.

In short, every Gu King in the city harbors ulterior motives, and the air is thick with tension. Many households in Blackstone City have their doors and windows tightly shut and have turned off their lights early, making the atmosphere in the city extremely eerie.

Long Xuan was of course not interested in that Living Wood. He was already satisfied with increasing his lifespan by deducing the "Scripture of Longevity," so the Living Wood was dispensable to him.

However, his lack of interest in Living Wood did not mean he was uninterested in this auction that had shocked the entire Western Land.

This is a super auction that has attracted most of the Gu King from the Western Land. With so many Gu King gathered together, how could he not be curious about such a scene?

This is a rare Gu King Special Auction. The treasures up for auction are all world-renowned items. The most valuable treasures collected by the Qian Clan Merchant Association will be auctioned at this event.

There are so many treasures here that could dazzle his eyes. Even if he doesn't dare to take them, it's good to broaden his horizons, see more of the world, and gain more knowledge. It's also a kind of cultivation.

Indeed, Long Xuan was watching this Gu King Special Auction purely for entertainment, intending to see what treasures would appear and which Gu King would acquire the Living Wood.

If he could witness a massive battle between hundreds of Gu King, that would be wonderful. The scene would be incredibly exciting, and he would definitely record this spectacular battle with Image-Recording Gu, then collect it and enjoy it to the fullest.

Battles between Gu King are rare, so watching battles between Gu King is definitely beneficial.

Although he intended to observe the auction from the sidelines, he was cunning and sly enough to hide inside the Long Family Estate and watch from a distance. From there, he was unlikely to encounter any danger.

The auction had already begun, and the first item was being auctioned: a Superior-grade Variant Gu, on par with the Gu King. The auction was extremely lively, with bids rising and falling.

The fact that the Gu King fought so fiercely over a single Variant Gu demonstrates just how rare Variant Gu are in the Gu World.

Although there are many Gu Insect in this world, the transformation path of each Gu Insect is not public knowledge. Different Lineage have different transformation paths for the same universal Gu Insect, which are kept secret and never made public.

You can't just keep making Gu Insect evolve indefinitely no matter what kind you have. The evolutionary paths of many Gu Insect are irregular and extremely difficult to trace.

Long Xuan glanced at them a few times, satisfied his curiosity, and then turned his attention to the Grand Gu King at the auction. They were all unfamiliar to him; he didn't recognize a single one of them.

He subconsciously looked for the figure of Qitian Patriarch Shi Haojun, but after searching around, he could not find him at the auction.

Under normal circumstances, when someone is bidding on a valuable item at an auction, that person will definitely be present at the auction, as they are certainly curious about how much their item will fetch.

This Shi Haojun clearly not a normal person. He left the Living Wood Living Wood at Qian Clan Auction House and then ignored it. Even when the auction was about to take place, he didn't go to the scene to see it.

Could he really be massacring the city right now? Long Xuan immediately turned his head and looked in the direction of Black Moon City. His vision stretched out little by little, and the distant scenery changed rapidly in his eyes as it approached. In just a moment, his gaze had already covered an unknown distance.

But ultimately, Black Moon City was too far away from Blackstone City, and even at the limit of his vision, he couldn't catch a glimpse of Black Moon City.

Long Xuan, finally turning his gaze away and rubbing his sore eyes.
