After completing the task, Kuntu felt much better and returned to his previous talkative self.
"Brother Han Li, the Sangsong Fruit from the Sangsong Secret Realm are beneficial for strengthening the soul. If you need them in the future, you can buy them from me; I'll definitely give you a very favorable price..."
"Strengthen the soul?"
Lu Qingshan's eyes lit up.
Isn't this exactly the kind of treasure he needs?
"I wonder if these Sangsong Fruit can strengthen the soul of Domain Lord?"
Lu Qingshan asked.
The chubby boy's eyes widened, and he shook his head, saying, "What a joke! If Sangsong Fruit had such an effect, the price of this secret realm would increase a hundredfold. Sangsong Fruit only works on those below the Universe Level; it's usually bought by large families for their Star Level disciples to increase their chances of breaking through to the Universe Level."
"Oh, I see!" Lu Qingshan wasn't disappointed. He had another option in mind. Sangsong Fruit could strengthen the soul of Star Level. If combined with the system's hundredfold or thousandfold return, would it work on Domain Lord?
Lu Qingshan was unsure, so he needed to wait for the items at the auction. If he could directly purchase rare and precious materials that could rapidly transform his soul, that would be ideal, saving him trouble and allowing him to break through to the World Lord realm as quickly as possible!
After the sale of the Sangsong Secret Realm, which was used to liven up the atmosphere, the auction officially began.
Barto's voice was loud and clear, echoing throughout every corner of the hall.
"Next up is the first item in the auction, or rather, the hundredth item."
With a wave of his hand, a vast array of spaceships appeared on the three-dimensional image, densely packed like a space fleet.
"The first item up for auction is an E5 model standard spaceship manufactured by Virtual Universe Company, equipped with five E3 model laser cannons, capable of accelerating to ten times the speed of light. It's the best assistant for World Lord experts on interstellar travel and exploring secret realms... Starting bid... 800 billion Universe Coin. There are one hundred spaceships in total, so the first one hundred bidders will win this spaceship. Bidding begins now!!"
The sound of a hammer striking the table came from behind.
The price of the E5 spaceship is gradually increasing.
"One Hunyuan."
"1.5 Hunyuan."
"3..."
The price kept rising and soon broke through 5 Hunyuan.
Kuntu nearby, said, "While Virtual Universe Company's spaceships can't compare to those of the Machine Race, they're still very valuable. Their acceleration and mass are far superior to those produced by smaller companies. Moreover, they're not available at every auction; sometimes, you might not see one even in hundreds of auctions. That's why the competition is so fierce..."
After all, these are necessities for World Lord, so fierce competition is to be expected, especially considering that over a million World Lord were present.
The price quickly climbed to 8 Hunyuan before gradually decreasing.
The final price settled at a minimum of 8.24 Hunyuan Unit.
Countdown is over.
The host Barto, spoke again.
"Congratulations to the top 100 bidders. The spaceship will be delivered within 30 business days after the auction. Please leave your detailed address on your token."
"Now for the second item up for auction: the D5 Machine Race battle suit. There aren't many; only ten are available. The starting price is 300 billion Universe Coin."
Kuntu looked at the introduction in the 3D video, curled his lip, and said, "Low-level Machine Race battle suits are really just flashy and impractical decorations. They're usually only bought by strong individuals to give to their juniors or apprentices. Buying these things is less worthwhile than cultivating a plant life form, at least that has some combat power..."
Similar to what Kuntu said, not many World Lord were interested in the Machine Race battle suits, and the final price was 3.2 Hunyuan Yuan.
After the two auction items were sold out, Kuntu remarked, "There are so many tech products today. I wonder if the next item will also be some kind of tech product."
He had barely finished speaking when Barto on the stage spoke up.
"The next item is the Universe Divine Weapon, one of the legendary Nine Divine Weapons of the Controller! Among the Nine Great Divine Weapons, the Universe Divine Weapon is the most powerful and the most difficult to master; only geniuses who have comprehended the Space Origin Law can wield it... Starting price: one Hunyuan Unit."
As soon as he finished speaking, many people below began to offer their bids.
"Damn, it's this thing!"
Kuntu looked at the exquisite divine weapon on the stage and said disdainfully, "This thing is just for show. It looks powerful, but nobody knows how to use it. What genius can simultaneously master the Space Origin Law? Probably not one in a hundred million years. The creator of this divine weapon must be insane!"
Lu Qingshan moved his seat to the other side, a little further away from Kuntu.
This guy dares to say anything. Anyone who can create the Nine Great Divine Weapons is incredibly powerful, let alone the founder of the strongest of the Nine Great Divine Weapons, the Universe Divine Weapon! If he heard Kuntu say he was crazy, wouldn't he just chop him up in two?
Lu Qingshan moved to the side to avoid getting splattered with blood.
While Universe Divine Weapon may not be particularly useful, their rarity makes them a valuable asset. Buying one could make it a prized antique or a symbol of good fortune. And what if, by purchasing Universe Divine Weapon, a future genius emerges in the family who simultaneously comprehends the Space-Time Law?
Therefore, the price was not low, and it was eventually sold for 5.3 Hunyuan.
This is even more expensive than the other divine weapons among the Nine Great Divine Weapons.
The auction moves very quickly; as soon as one item is auctioned off, the next one begins. All participants in the auction can see the upcoming items on their Black Token, allowing them to prepare in advance and manage their funds wisely.
Among the auction items, Lu Qingshan didn't see any treasures that could transform the soul of Domain Lord, but he did see quite a few Lanke Fruit.
After waiting for more than an hour, it was finally time for the Lanke Fruit.
The Lanke Fruit is 100 billion per set, with 100 fruits per set.
Lu Qingshan participated in the auction and won ten sets, spending 1.8 Hunyuan Unit.
Lu Qingshan had prepared these Lanke Fruit for Lei Ming and Parisi. The Locke Divine Water that had been returned last time had made Lu Qingshan happy for a long time.
Their Cloud-Touching Vine had only just reached the Universe Level 1, and further improvement was still within the system's limits. Lu Qingshan didn't know the upper limit yet, so he bought more.
"It seems Brother Han Li is planning to cultivate plant life. However, the effect of the Lanke Fruit is still a bit lacking. You should have taken the Life Fruit from earlier!"
This was Lu Qingshan's first time participating in an auction, so the chubby boy Kuntu naturally had to give his opinion.
"My funds are limited, not as abundant as yours."
"Heh, if you can produce nearly two Hunyuan Cultivation Plant Life forms, don't complain about being poor."
The auction lasted for two days, and countless rare treasures appeared one after another, including Machine Race spaceships and rare materials produced in secret realms, all of which sold for quite high prices.
Aside from the Lanke Fruit, Lu Qingshan didn't make any further moves, mainly because he wanted to see if the treasure he needed would appear in the end, and he didn't dare to spend money recklessly.
But when it came to the final auction item, he still didn't see it, and Lu Qingshan knew that he had little chance left.
Now there are only two options left: exchange points with the mentors in the Ganwu Mystic Region, such as Yang and Bai Mei, and then use those points to redeem...
Or it could be Sangsong Fruit...
"Next up, the grand finale item, I'm afraid not many people will know about it..." Barto's booming voice rang out again, "The next item for auction: the horn of the One-Horned Ghost King!"
"What?! It's the horn of the One-Horned Ghost King?!"
Lu Qingshan's gaze sharpened as he stared intently at the auction items in the video.
I know everyone finds it slow, but there's really no way around it during the new book launch period; I can't update too much. All new books are in the same boat. I still have 30 chapters saved up, which I'll release all at once on the Tianyi's release. After that, I'll update 5 chapters a day. Please bear with me a little longer...
