8 PM.
The auction has officially begun.
A stunningly beautiful auctioneer with captivating charm walked onto the platform.
She must be quite well-known in the upper echelons of the Federation, as she was recognized by many people on the spot.
"Miss Qiu, could you give me a heads-up? How many items will be up for auction tonight?"
Someone struck up a conversation.
Qiu Shuiyan, with light makeup and a polite smile, said, "There are five items in total; I'm sure you'll all be very satisfied."
Upon hearing this, no one was surprised.
Most of them have experience attending auctions and know that it's necessary to generate buzz before the final product is revealed.
What are they respectively?
Just then, a curious voice rang out.
Many people turned their attention to Qiu Shuiyan. The only information released by the Round-Down Foundation was about the Falling Star Sword Art; nothing else was mentioned.
"Specific details will remain confidential for now, to add some mystery."
Qiu Shuiyan smiled radiantly, adept at manipulating emotions, and said, "However, I can reveal one piece of information first: all five items up for auction are inheritances of martial arts."
The words were finished.
A murmur rippled through the crowd.
"Martial arts? That's surprising. I thought it would be some large number of credits!"
"Besides the Falling Star Sword Art, what else can satisfy us?!"
One Knight remarked, and many relatives nearby echoed his sentiments.
Even high-level Firmament- Piercing Martial Arts are not particularly valuable to these people.
On the high platform, listening to the surrounding discussions, Qiu Shuiyan's smile remained unchanged. She clapped her hands and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the first item for auction is a chance to inherit the Seven Sword Forms of Interception and Slaughter."
"This is a prehistoric martial art, which Master Ning Chuan successfully repaired just a few days ago."
Its rank is...
Qiu Shuiyan paused deliberately, then announced loudly, " High Star Tier!"
Upon hearing this,
The once noisy Soaring Dragon Auditorium fell silent instantly.
The expressions on everyone's faces were remarkably similar: a mixture of shock and disbelief.
Ning Chuan can complete the second Stars Arts technique.
They had anticipated this.
The problem is, there wasn't enough time!
The Falling Star Sword Art was only completed a few days ago?!
"Really?"
Some people Dharma Aspect.
Qiu Shuiyan smiled and said, "It's officially certified by the Ancient Martial Arts Research Institute; there's no need to doubt its authenticity."
"Furthermore, several members of the organizing committee unanimously judged that the upper limit of the Seven Sword Forms of Interception and Slaughter martial art is no weaker than the Falling Star Sword Art. If one can comprehend more than 90% of the generated Dharma Aspect, its offensive power is comparable to that of Knight Class..."
Qiu Shuiyan provides detailed information.
Having said that, she twirled her hand, conjuring a small wooden hammer out of thin air, and smiled, "Ladies and gentlemen, there's only one spot available. Interested clients, you can now place your bids!"
Ning Chuan had three spots for Seven Sword Forms of Interception and Slaughter. He gave one to Song Shiyu, leaving two remaining.
However, it's not necessary to auction them all off.
Stars Martial Arts is an absolute seller's market; there's no worry about sales.
That is indeed the case.
As soon as Qiu Shuiyan finished speaking, the bidding announcements rang out from below the stage.
"Three spiritual martial arts techniques involving the essence of the soul, two at the Low Firmament Tier, and one at the Mid Firmament Tier. In addition, there is a Star Spirit Flower, a set of Fire God Armor, and six Dao Comprehension Tea Leaves!"
"I only have two mental martial arts techniques, but both are at the Mid Firmament Tier, plus a young Longevity White Turtle and two Thunder God Vine!"
" The Zi family owns a mine with reserves of many precious metal ores, ranking first in the Federation!"
Many people waved their hands vigorously, vying to speak first.
The VIP rooms on the second floor.
Several appraisers spoke in succession, explaining the items to Ning Chuan.
" Dao Comprehension Tea Leaves, originating from the Moon God Ruins, when held under the tongue, may induce a state of sudden enlightenment. Even if enlightenment is not achieved, it can temporarily enhance comprehension and accelerate cultivation!"
"A young, Longevity White Turtle, if consumed whole, can increase its lifespan by thirty years!"
Ning Chuan listened attentively while keeping an eye on the auction downstairs.
He has a strong spirit.
Multitasking is very easy.
Suddenly, the offer from a Martial Arts Academy instructor caught his attention.
"I've created two spiritual martial arts techniques, both at the Low Firmament Tier. However, they involve a high degree of understanding of the essence of the soul, exceeding 30% in each."
As he spoke, the instructor turned around, looked towards Ning Chuan's VIP box, and announced loudly, "Furthermore, I'll offer another 20 grams of Divine Metal Liquid. This stuff can greatly enhance the power of the Ultimate Weapon Art Divine Weapon!"
Upon hearing this, Ning Chuan raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is what he said true or false?"
One of the appraisers quickly explained.
Divine Metal Liquid can be used by Martial Artist to nourish their weapons, thereby enhancing the weapon's power.
"Under normal circumstances, only the power of the Heavenly King Weapon can rival that of the Knight."
" Divine General are difficult to achieve due to factors such as Force and Law," the appraiser explained methodically. "If it were a Divine General weapon nurtured to its limit, using 30 grams of Divine Metal Liquid would likely bring it to the level of Heavenly King Weapon."
After explaining its functions, the appraiser thought for a moment and then said, "The essence of the Divine Metal Liquid is a kind of energy."
Theoretically, it can be applied to Divine Weapon using the Ultimate Weapon Art.
Beside him, another appraiser, seeing that Ning Chuan seemed somewhat interested, said, "The total value of this member's offer is, overall, equivalent to a High Star Tier martial art."
"I see."
Ning Chuan nodded, not rushing to finalize the deal.
We'll make a decision after everyone has submitted their quotes.
Maybe there's something even better!
Not long after.
The auditorium fell silent.
Members who had placed bids were filled with anxiety, wondering about the auction's outcome.
Qiu Shuiyan remained silent as well.
She could only oversee the auction process; she did not have the final say.
The choice of which buyer to select rests entirely with the young man in the private room on the second floor.
"I made a deal with the buyer of seat number 3749."
Ning Chuan spoke up.
The sound, amplified by the Force, resonated clearly throughout the auditorium.
Upon hearing this, the Martial Arts Academy instructor instantly became excited.
From the rest of the locations, a chorus of sighs and lamentations could be heard.
Qiu Shuiyan, well-versed in the ways of auctions, seized the opportunity and smiled brightly, "Ten-star members who didn't win the Seven Sword Forms of Interception and Slaughter don't need to be sad. The second item is the Falling Star Sword Art!"
"This martial art needs no further explanation, right?"
A hint of liveliness crept into Qiu Shuiyan's voice.
The atmosphere at the scene immediately became lively.
All buyers participated in the auction, and the bids were significantly higher than those for the Seven Sword Forms of Interception and Slaughter.
After all, they had witnessed the power of the Falling Star Sword Art firsthand.
Wearing the Heavenly King Armor, Guan Yun possessed formidable defense, making him difficult for ordinary Knight to seriously injure.
result.
He was crippled by Ning Chuan's sword!
That's why they came.
"Respected World Walker, I offer you a Mid Stars Tier spiritual martial art in exchange,"
Amidst the bidding, a middle-aged man turned around and looked towards the private room on the second floor.
He's not very strong.
Only sixth rank.
But his demeanor was neither humble nor arrogant.
Clearly, he is a spokesperson for some powerful force.
Looking at the middle-aged man through the floor-to-ceiling window, Ning Chuan was somewhat surprised.
Spiritual martial arts of the Stars Rank are extremely rare.
Galaxy University doesn't have that.
The Ancient Martial Arts Research Institute does have a few, but they are all severely damaged, with less than 10% complete.
Composing himself, Ning Chuan pondered, "Does it involve the essence of the soul?"
Even if not, Ning Chuan was prepared to make a deal with him.
After all, spiritual martial arts of this level are hard to come by.
The middle-aged man nodded and said, "According to my ancestor's assessment, it's at least forty percent!"
Hearing this, Ning Chuan's lips curled into a slight smile, and he asked, "What is its function?"
"Can we talk privately?"
The middle-aged man bowed slightly and said, "All Stars Martial Arts techniques are qualified to be used as killing moves. If the deal is completed, it will give you another trump card."
Inside the private room, Song Shiyu put down the membership list in her hand and introduced, " Bai Zhongli, a steward of the Bai family."
Ning Chuan suddenly understood.
Within the Federation, there are no fewer than ten powerful families surnamed Bai, and several of them have Divine General overseeing them.
However, there is only one family that Song Shiyu can directly use the Bai family name without any prefix.
Bai Qi's family!
"Come on up."
Ning Chuan said.
Soon, a waiter led the middle-aged man inside.
The other people in the private room got up and left.
The middle-aged man didn't keep anyone in suspense and directly transmitted his voice, saying, "This spiritual martial art is called the Heavenly Derivation Art. When cultivated to its peak, it can predict the future!"
