The young master of the Long Family, Long Hengfeng, looked expectantly at the merchant guild manager who came out and asked, "How is it?"
The merchant guild manager shook his head, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Young Master Lu is not interested."
Long Hengfeng's face suddenly darkened.
"Let's go back to the room first," he said in a deep voice after a moment's pause, then led two Long Family experts back to VIP Room Number Four.
After returning to VIP Room Number Four, one of the Long Family experts said, "Young Master, should we investigate what Young Master Lu intends to bid on at the auction?"
Long Hengfeng shook his head, "No need."
"This Lu Yiping won't be arrogant for long," another Long Family expert sneered. "Hao Dan was killed, the Yin Ghost Sect will never let him go!"
"However, Lu Yiping's identity is a mystery. Some people are now saying he might be from the Nine Heavens, so the Yin Ghost Sect won't make a move for now. Once it's confirmed he's not from the Nine Heavens, the Yin Ghost Sect will march in and tear him apart bone by bone!"
"Moreover, why does Lu Yiping have Su Xiu's token? Some suspect Su Xiu has likely been killed by Lu Yiping, and the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect has already begun investigating the matter of Su Xiu's token."
"If the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect confirms Su Xiu is dead, then the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect will also grind him to dust!"
As people gradually entered, the auction hall was soon filled.
The auction began.
The auction was hosted by a senior appraiser from the Heavenly Machine Merchant Guild, who was also a God Realm expert.
Normally, God Realm experts rarely hosted auctions unless extremely valuable items were being auctioned.
The first item auctioned was a sword.
"This sword is named the Azure Rainbow Sword, the personal sword of the Azure Rainbow Heavenly God!" the God Realm host Chen Rui said with a smile. "The Azure Rainbow Heavenly God, I'm sure many of you are familiar with him, right?"
The scene stirred.
The Azure Rainbow Heavenly God!
More than familiar.
One hundred thousand years ago, he was hailed as the number one sword cultivator on the Divine Martial Continent.
No one expected that the first item auctioned would be the Azure Rainbow Sword.
Although this Azure Rainbow Sword was the Azure Rainbow Heavenly God's early personal sword, it was still a rare and excellent sword.
"The Azure Rainbow Heavenly God often practiced his sword techniques with this sword, so this Azure Rainbow Sword possesses the Azure Rainbow Heavenly God's unique sword intent. If sword cultivators acquire it and frequently meditate on the Azure Rainbow Heavenly God's sword intent, their swordsmanship will undoubtedly advance by leaps and bounds," host Chen Rui said with a smile.
Lu Yiping heard this and shook his head with a smile. If swordsmanship could advance by leaps and bounds just by relying on a sword, then everyone in the world would be a sword master.
This host Chen Rui was merely using enticing words.
However, Chen Rui's enticing words were quite effective, and the subsequent bidding was fierce.
In the end, it was acquired by the sect master of the White Flame Sword Sect for two hundred million High-grade Spirit Stones.
The White Flame Sword Sect was one of the super sects on the Divine Martial Continent, with strength comparable to the Baihua Empire and the Yun Family.
Next, the second item auctioned was a cultivation technique called the Jialeng Sutra, one of the supreme cultivation techniques of the Fire Dragon Temple.
There were many Buddhist sects in the Hengyuan Plane.
And the Fire Dragon Temple was once one of the most powerful Buddhist forces on the Divine Martial Continent.
However, it was destroyed over ten thousand years ago.
The perpetrators at that time were none other than the Tan Family.
After the Fire Dragon Temple was destroyed, many experts were captured alive and refined into puppets by the Tan Family experts. The Tan Family possessed a puppet that surpassed the Heavenly rank, which was refined from the most powerful old ancestor of the Fire Dragon Temple.
The Jialeng Sutra was eventually purchased by Yu Xin of the Medicine King Hall.
Lu Yiping was a little surprised, not expecting this girl to be interested in Buddhist cultivation techniques.
Immediately after, the third, fourth, and fifth items were auctioned.
Although the items auctioned in this auction were all quite good, Lu Yiping merely watched and did not bid.
More than twenty items were auctioned consecutively.
Finally, there were the four finale items of the auction.
"Next, we will auction a token from the ancient era of the Lord of All Gods," host Chen Rui said with a smile.
At this moment, an expert from the Heavenly Machine Merchant Guild carried a jade plate forward.
On the jade plate lay a dark token about the size of a palm.
It was indeed the Order of Ten Thousand Gods!
Lu Yiping sat up straighter upon seeing the token.
This Order of Ten Thousand Gods was not just a token; it contained an ancient formation refined by the Lord of All Gods, which could be used for offense when fighting enemies.
Furthermore, the Lord of All Gods had established his cave mansion in a mysterious location unknown to anyone, but with this Order of Ten Thousand Gods, one could sense the location of the Lord of All Gods' ancient cave mansion.
Of course, to activate this Order of Ten Thousand Gods, one would need at least the strength of the Lord of All Gods from that era.
With the current strength of people in the Hengyuan Plane, it was impossible to activate this Order of Ten Thousand Gods.
Therefore, the Order of Ten Thousand Gods had little practical use for the people of the Hengyuan Plane at present.
"This Order of Ten Thousand Gods, in ancient times, could command all the gods in the world," explained the host, Chen Rui. "And its material was forged from the rare divine item, Great Void Profound Iron."
"Great Void Profound Iron is the hardest divine metal in the world, comparable to Chaos Iron. Its material alone is priceless."
"Furthermore, the Order of Ten Thousand Gods carries the supreme formations imprinted by the Lord of All Gods back then. A formation master who buys it might be able to comprehend a supreme grand formation from it."
After explaining for three to four minutes, the auction finally began.
"However, the friend who entrusted our merchant guild to auction this Order of Ten Thousand Gods said that they only want Divine-grade Spirit Stones," said host Chen Rui somewhat sheepishly. "So, those who wish to bid for the Order of Ten Thousand Gods later can only use Divine-grade Spirit Stones."
A commotion arose from the crowd.
The experts who had originally intended to bid for the Order of Ten Thousand Gods also frowned.
Everyone had Divine-grade Spirit Stones, but they were scarce. Since ancient times, every one used was one less. In general auction transactions, no one was willing to use Divine-grade Spirit Stones for trade.
"Moreover, this entrusting friend said that all Divine-grade Spirit Stones must be intact and undamaged," Chen Rui added.
When trading spirit stones, it was inevitable for them to become worn over time. Requiring them to be intact and undamaged would reduce the available quantity.
"The Order of Ten Thousand Gods, the starting bid is one hundred million Divine-grade Spirit Stones," Chen Rui announced.
"One hundred million Divine-grade Spirit Stones?!" Everyone gasped in shock.
The sect leader of the White Flame Sword Sect present heard this and shook his head. Let alone one hundred million Divine-grade Spirit Stones, he couldn't even afford one hundred million Top-grade Spirit Stones.
"One hundred million Divine-grade Spirit Stones!" The young master of the Long Family, Long Hengfeng, knitted his brows. He had originally come this time with the intention of acquiring the Order of Ten Thousand Gods.
But the price was far beyond his expectations.
"Two hundred million Divine-grade Spirit Stones." Just then, a young man from VIP Room Number Two said leisurely.
