If Lu Qingshan remembered correctly, the two sisters, Ling Yu and Ling Xi, seemed to have the bloodline of the One-Horned Ghost King within them.

The approximate amount of Ling Yu's information was displayed on the system.

At that time, Lu Qingshan specifically asked Nasus to search for information about the One-Horned Ghost King, but he found nothing. Nasus speculated that his permissions were insufficient.

But now, at the Ganwu Auction, he actually saw something related to the One- One-Horned Ghost King.

The horn of the One-Horned Ghost King?

Judging from its name, this thing is probably a very important part of the One-Horned Ghost King.

"If there's any hope, we might be able to get our hands on this!"

Lu Qingshan secretly calculated his assets. He had just spent nearly two Hunyuan on purchasing the Lanke Fruit, and now he had 65 Hunyuan left.

I don't know if I can afford it.

Lu Qingshan knew nothing about the so-called One-Horned Ghost King; he simply felt he needed to capture it based on his intuition. What if this thing was important to Ling Yu? What kind of reward would he receive then?

Lu Qingshan surveyed his surroundings.

There were many other World Lord were just as bewildered as he was, whispering amongst themselves, seemingly discussing something they had never seen before.

The host seemed to deliberately leave time for discussion and exchange, without introducing anything, thus whetting everyone's appetite.

" Han Li, do you know what this is?"

The three-eyed dragon-man Kuntu beside him looked on with curiosity.

"Have no idea."

Lu Qingshan shook his head; he genuinely didn't know, but guessed it must be some kind of Special Lifeform.

"That's strange. I've gone through the treasure descriptions in the Imperial Library several times, and I've never heard of this thing..."

Kuntu said something and then fell silent, seemingly lost in thought, as if inquiring about something in Virtual Universe.

Of course, just because most people don't know doesn't mean that no one knows.

In a place where a group of Immortal gather.

A burly man covered in silver armor suddenly brightened up.

"It's this thing. I wonder if the Time Origin Law Secret Patterns on the horn are still there. If they are, I've made the right choice coming to this auction."

He immediately sent a message to his subordinates.

"Raise the money, raise as much money as you can, and get the money into my hands within one day."

In a secluded corner of the auction hall, a man in a white robe carrying a golden longsword looked at the unicorn on the stage, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes.

"The core horn of the One-Horned Ghost King actually appeared at such a low-level auction in the Ganwu Universe Country? That's incredibly lucky..."

"If this item were in the company's treasury, it would require at least 100,000 points to redeem. If the auction price doesn't exceed 20,000 Hunyuan, I'll make a profit!"

"Even if I can't master the Time Law using the secret runes on it, I can still make a fortune by reselling them! Hehehe..."

During the ten-minute discussion, some people had already learned about the origin of this thing from elsewhere, but most people still looked blank and waited for the host to explain.

Barto was good at building suspense, and only then did he display the information on the big screen.

Lu Qingshan glanced at the information synchronized on the token.

[ The One-Horned Ghost King, Special Lifeform from the Prison Race Territory, possesses Gene Level 50 times higher and is a natural favorite of the Time Origin Law, possessing extremely strong talent in the Time Origin Law!]

"Really!"

It was exactly as Lu Qingshan had guessed.

This thing is indeed a Special Lifeform, but it comes from the distant Prison Race Territory and is extremely rare. In addition, due to the information Space Lock of the Virtual Universe, not many people know about it.

"Incredible! It's Special Lifeform!"

Kuntu was shocked. He hadn't even received the news from his father. It turned out to be an extremely rare Special Lifeform.

How can this thing be auctioned at the Ganwu Universe Country? That's illogical!!!

He took a deep breath. "This auction has truly broadened my horizons. I really don't know who entrusted such a valuable item to the Ganwu Auction for auction. This is defying the heavens! If someone had the ability to create Clone, using this thing to nurture Clone would be too outrageous. This is a darling of the superior Time Law!"

Kuntu's daydream was quickly shattered.

Barto looked apologetic. "I regret to inform you that, for some unknown reason, the Time Origin Law Secret Patterns on this horn have been completely erased, making it impossible for anyone to learn from and cultivate the Time Law. Furthermore, the horn of the One-Horned Ghost King is made of a special metal and does not contain the One-Horned Ghost King's genes, so it lacks the ability to create Clone!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd, who had been looking forward to it, almost started cursing.

We've been baiting their appetite for so long.

You're telling me now that this is a piece of trash?

A single horn, lacking the ability to create Clone, its sole purpose was to comprehend the Time Law Secret Patterns. Now, even those runes are gone, so what use is it?

The Immortal had just been ordering his subordinates to raise money suddenly turned pale and hurriedly relayed a message: "Don't sell those treasures yet; I don't need the funds for the time being."

The white-robed man in the corner, carrying Golden Sword, also wore a regretful expression. "What a pity, I knew my luck wouldn't be that good... How could something worth 100,000 points be so easily snatched up?"

"That bastard, is he deliberately messing with us? He's completely useless, just dawdling around for ages!"

Kuntu was somewhat speechless.

I thought it was something valuable, but it turns out it's just a collectible.

"Don't be disappointed, everyone. This horn isn't entirely useless. After all, it's rare. If it encounters a collector, they might buy it for a high price. Moreover, this horn is made of a special metal, which is an excellent material for forging divine weapons..."

"Enough with the small talk, the starting bid is one Hunyuan Unit!"

Compared to Special Lifeform, the starting bid for a Hunyuan is incredibly low.

Upon hearing this starting price, even Kuntu, who had been dismissive, joined in, bidding 2 Hunyuan, doubling the price.

Whether something is good or bad is relative. If it's overpriced, it's useless, but if you can get it for a few Hunyuan, it's definitely a great value for money item.

Of course, finding a bargain isn't so easy.

Before long, the price was driven up to over 10 Hunyuan.

Kuntu withdrew from the bidding, his face once again displaying a disdainful expression.

"15 Hunyuan!"

When the competition wasn't so fierce, Lu Qingshan set a price.

"Damn it, Brother Han Li, are you crazy?!"

Seeing Lu Qingshan enter the price, Kuntu hurriedly advised, "This thing is really useless, don't overpay!"

"It's alright, I'll just try my luck a few times. If I buy it, I'll consider it a collectible." Lu Qingshan pretended not to care.

Kuntu said admiringly, "You said you were poor before. Is that something a poor person should say?"

"16 Hunyuan."

"16.5 Hunyuan!"

"17 Hunyuan, this is the last time. Anyone who follows me again will be abandoned."

"18!"

Prices are still rising.

The bidders were mostly Immortal God or World Lord with high net worth who didn't lack this kind of thing and bought it as a toy.

"20 Hunyuan!"

Lu Qingshan made another offer.

This time, they persuaded quite a few people to give up.

However, the price increase hasn't stopped.

"21 Hunyuan!"

"22 Hunyuan!"

"30 Hunyuan!!!!"

Lu Qingshan immediately raised the price to the 30s, and all the bids stopped.

Thirty Hunyuan are equivalent to the entire wealth of three World Lord; even the Immortal God present cannot squander them at will.

The countdown ended, and Barto delivered the final blow. "Congratulations to the bidder with seat number knd56480."

Lu Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, no one jumped out to cause trouble, and he still managed to take down the unicorn with special meaning.
