Lu Qingshan's gaze swept over each item in the auction.

I feel like I've broadened my horizons.

The Black Jade Glazed Fruit that I consigned for auction, although it was the final item, was not the most expensive, and it didn't even rank in the top ten.

For example, this.

" Hurricane Purple Light."

The starting price is 5 trillion Hunyuan Unit, which is 25 times the starting price of the Black Jade Glazed Fruit that he entrusted to be auctioned.

The intelligent system is described in detail.

This thing is a weapon made using the destructive rays from a terrifying secret realm. Immortal God can easily control it and unleash its terrifying purple destructive rays. If a god's body is hit by these rays, even Invincible King would not survive.

It can be considered the strongest weapon below the Universe Venerable.

Compared to this thing, the Machine Race's Decomposition Tower is like a child's game.

If you were to acquire such a weapon on Outer Domain Battlefield, you could practically do whatever you wanted.

Even without making a move, their deterrent power is terrifying. Even those who Invincible King dare not provoke them lightly. After all, those who have reached the Invincible King definitely possess two or three True Treasure. If they were to die carelessly, the cost of resurrection would probably be something they could never repay in their lifetime.

However, the starting price of five trillion Hunyuan Unit is too outrageous. Even Invincible King as the True Yan King, who doesn't sell his True Treasure, probably couldn't afford such a terrifying weapon.

And... that purple crystal, only the size of a fingernail.

Its name is [ Ice Prison Star Stone ]

According to the Intelligent Life form, this thing comes from the most terrifying Ice Prison Star in the distant Wuhua Secret Realm.

That is one of the most terrifying areas in the Wuhua Secret Realm; even Universe Venerable could perish there.

This tiny Ice Prison Star Stone has a starting price of 2 trillion Hunyuan Unit.

It is 10 times that of the Black Jade Glazed Fruit.

Continue down.

It's a large barrel of Purple Fire Ape Wine, with a base price of 800 billion Hunyuan Unit.

Looking at the description of the Purple Fire Ape Wine, even Lu Qingshan felt a little tempted. He himself also enjoyed fine wine, but he wasn't as crazy about it as Yang.

This Purple Fire Ape Wine is extremely rare; only the Special Lifeform, the Purple Fire Ape, can successfully brew it. Even the Universe Venerable cannot replicate it because only the Purple Fire Ape can access the special environment required for brewing.

In the entire Primal Universe, there were only a little over ten thousand Purple Fire Ape. In the memories of Ghost King Lu Qingshan, the entire race of the One-Horned One-Horned Ghost King at its peak numbered over ten thousand.

Scarcity is only a small part of the reason for its high price.

Purple Fire Ape Wine also has three major benefits.

Firstly, the taste is superb; for those who appreciate fine wine, one sip is an unforgettable experience.

Secondly, it can increase the affinity with Fire Law. This is not something you can easily obtain with trash Earth Origin Fruit. The increased affinity is much stronger and will not disappear. It can also change one's body to be suitable for Fire Law, thus enhancing the power of Fire Law.

This miraculous effect is comparable to the Wonder Lightning Origin Crystal Stone that Lu Qingshan obtained before; no wonder it is so expensive.

Thirdly, you'll definitely get drunk after drinking!

This third point may seem meaningless, but for truly invincible people, getting drunk is an extremely luxurious thing.

They were too powerful, with incredibly strong divine bodies. Even the strongest liquor had no effect on them; aside from the taste, they couldn't experience the feeling of a hangover.

It's quite normal for some people to spend a lot of money to buy a cup of Purple Fire Ape Wine just to get drunk.

Lu Qingshan could understand.

Once he becomes powerful enough, he can buy some Purple Fire Ape Wine and try it out to see what it tastes like.

But let's forget about it for now...

It's not that he can't afford it, but that it's unnecessary. He already has a plan for the funds from selling the Black Jade Glazed Fruit. It's completely unnecessary to jeopardize his strength for the sake of indulging in a little gluttony.

He continued looking until the 11th and final item in the auction, when he finally saw the Black Jade Glazed Fruit that he had submitted for auction, with a starting price of 200 billion Hunyuan Unit.

Further down, Lu Qingshan also saw a Divine Envoy Inheritance Crystal Stone, which belonged to the Divine Body Amplitude type. Since the Divine Envoy was still alive, its value was not high, and the starting bid was only 30 billion Hunyuan Unit.

Even a slightly powerful King Rank expert could afford it.

Lu Qingshan finished examining all 108 auction items. The highest-priced item, Hurricane Purple Light, had a starting price of 5 trillion Hunyuan Unit, while the lowest-priced item was a King Rank Immortal Divine Weapon priced at 50 million Hunyuan Unit.

As expected, just as he had guessed, although five-star users could participate in this high-level auction, ordinary Marquis Immortal would probably only be able to watch helplessly, as they couldn't even afford the lowest-priced item.

Just like when Lu Qingshan participated in the mid-level auction before, the qualification only required 10,000 Hunyuan. He brought 200,000 Hunyuan Unit, which was more than the assets of most Immortal God, but in the end he could only buy some scraps. He didn't even have the qualification to bid on most of the auction items.

"Alright... I believe everyone has seen the auction items and made their decisions. So... the high-level auction officially begins. The first item is Starlight Guardian Armor, with a starting price of 50 million Hunyuan Unit."

The host, Lin, spoke clearly, and after she finished speaking, bids could be placed on the smart screen in front of everyone...

Lu Qingshan did not make a bid. This Immortal Divine Weapon was meaningless to him; he could easily give it to his disciples and receive a huge return.

Lu Qingshan didn't need it, but the others present were very envious of the armor. Armor that could be auctioned at a high-level auction was definitely a masterpiece, let alone armor that was of great use in achieving the King-level Immortal.

"55 million Hunyuan!"

"60 million Hunyuan!"

"61 million..."

"63 million..."

Prices climb little by little; often, as soon as one price jumps out, several more will immediately appear above it.

The price quickly broke through 80 million Hunyuan Unit. At this point, there were fewer bidders, with only a few continuing to raise the price.

Ultimately, this Starlight Guardian Armor Suit, with a starting bid of only 50 million Hunyuan Unit, sold for a high price of 96 million Hunyuan Unit, almost double the starting bid.

Based on Lu Qingshan's previous understanding of high-end auctions, it was rare for prices to double, so the consignor of this item had made a huge profit this time.

The second item...

The third item!

Items were brought up for auction one by one and snapped up in the blink of an eye; almost every single one was a hit.

Clearly, these auction items were carefully selected by the Universe Galaxy Bank and the Universe Mercenary Alliance before being put on the auction, and most of them are treasures that many people urgently need.

The auction lasted for three days. On the morning of the third day, the Black Jade Glazed Fruit that Lu Qingshan had entrusted to be auctioned was finally delivered.

"This Black Jade Glazed Fruit was entrusted to us for auction by a distinguished guest. It is a rare cosmic Wonder. Peak World Lord who consumes the Black Jade Glazed Fruit has a 20% chance of comprehending a Lower Law and breaking through to the Immortal Realm... This has been verified by a large amount of data and is beyond doubt. The starting bid for the Black Jade Glazed Fruit is 200 billion Hunyuan Unit!!"

As soon as Lin finished speaking, Lu Qingshan looked at the screen in front of him.

200 billion Hunyuan is beyond what an ordinary King-level Immortal can afford; I wonder if anyone will make an offer.

However, his worries were clearly unnecessary.

In the blink of an eye, the price in front of them changed several times. Although the competition wasn't as fierce as before, it was clear that quite a few people were still interested.

After all, this high-level auction also has many Venerable and Invincible King participating, and the many private rooms on the second floor are almost full. It's impossible that they are all in Lu Qingshan's situation.

If the Universe Venerable One wants to give his favorite descendant a chance to become Immortal God, a few hundred billion Hunyuan Yuan is nothing at all.

"260 billion Hunyuan Unit!"

"270 billion!"

"2800..."

Prices continued to climb, quickly breaking through the 300 billion mark, and finally settling at 310 billion.

These top experts bid in increments of tens of billions, as if the money weren't their own.

The items that followed in the auction were even more outrageous.

The auction for that barrel of Purple Fire Ape Wine ended with a staggering 1.6 trillion Hunyuan, which tempted Lu Qingshan, making him wonder if he should raise a few Purple Fire Ape to brew wine and make money in the future.

What is a money tree? This is a real money tree.

The Hurricane Purple Light auction, however, was met with a lukewarm reception, with only three bidders, and the item was eventually sold for roughly the reserve price.

After all, the price is outrageous, almost comparable to the most common True Treasure... The cost of using it once could bankrupt an ordinary King-level Immortal. It's something most people can't afford, and for Universe Venerable, it's just a useless trifle.

After the last item was sold, the high-level auction ended. Lu Qingshan left without buying any items, carrying over 300 billion Hunyuan Unit after deducting transaction fees.
