I'll Take Them All
Ding Yishan, who had originally intended to redeem himself and show off the wealth of a Peak Sovereign Realm expert, now felt as if Lu Qing'an had slapped him in the face. If he didn't continue bidding now, he would lose face!
But the thought of venting my anger and fiercely bidding against Lu Qing'an, only to end up spending all my available assets because of my excessively high bids, and not being able to win the item I wanted on this trip—that would be a huge loss!
After thinking it over, he finally gritted his teeth, swallowed his anger, and stopped bidding.
The host was well aware of Lu Qing'an's special status and decisively announced that Lu Qing'an had won the treasure.
And just like that, Lu Qing'an easily got what he wanted.
He took the glass bottle from the maid and gently tapped it. When he got back, he would have to interact with the little earthworm to make it fully accept him as its master and work hard for him in the future.
"So this is a top-tier merchant guild in a high-level continent? Almost everything here is exactly what I wanted." He smiled to himself, then looked back at the auction stage, waiting for the auctioneer to bring out new items.
Perhaps it's because he comes from a lower-level continent and hasn't seen much of the world. In that case, he'll probably be even more interested in seeing more advanced things when he goes to a more powerful world like the Eight Heavens Continent or even the Nine Heavens Continent.
A short while later, the host brought out another item.
It is a treasure called the Mystic Frost Heavenly Heart Jade Pendant!
A piece of ice-blue, Seven Mysteries- grade divine jade, its surface flowing with frost-like patterns, felt like holding an extremely cold star core.
The wearer can unleash Eternal Freeze Domain, instantly freezing the continent for one to Second Heaven, and even slightly slowing down the flow of time!
The most precious aspect of this jade is its ability to automatically absorb the cold energy of heaven and earth, transforming it into pure Xuan Shuang Dao Yun, which can help cultivators of the Ice and Snow Emperor Position break through bottlenecks and accelerate their cultivation!
Therefore, he could have easily given this item to his beloved Xue Tianfei!
Most importantly, it was also very beautiful. Just thinking about Xue Tianfei wearing it around her neck made him smile.
Her snow-white skin paired with this exquisite jade pendant is quite lovely!
Take it!
He decisively placed his order.
"I'll take it." He didn't wait for the host to announce the starting price, and boldly declared this.
This time, he didn't mention the million Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone again. He simply said domineeringly, "I want it," and that was it.
When the others heard Lu Qing'an speak, for some reason, they felt no urge to bid at all.
I also felt that Lu Qing'an's words were exceptionally authoritative!
Once Lu Qing'an speaks, who would dare to bid?
Just give it to him!
The host, disregarding whether such behavior would disrupt the auction, simply smiled and nodded, instructing a maid to deliver the treasure to Lu Qing'an.
Seeing this, Ding Yishan's face twitched, and the corners of his eyes, which held a sinister glint, also twitched!
No! What are you doing?!
He came here thinking he would dominate this auction, but now look what's going on! Who is this guy? Does he own this chamber of commerce?!
After acquiring this item, Lu Qing'an continued to wait for the auctioneer to bring out other items for auction.
The Soul-Evolving Myriad Forms Pearl!
A translucent Seven Mysteries Soul Bead, containing the essence of the High Antiquity soul beast "Thousand Illusion Mirage Clam".
It is a supreme treasure for soul cultivators below the Undying Realm!
Lu Qing'an decisively designated this treasure as a gift for his eldest daughter, Lu Zixuan.
The World-Slaying Dragon Fang Saber!
A Seven Mysteries- level longsword, its blade winding like a dragon's spine, with blood-red dragon patterns faintly visible on the edge.
This blade is forged from the fangs of a Void Dragon Beast. When swung, it can tear through space, unleashing Dragon Devouring Blade Qi that devours the Essence Blood of enemies and nourishes the wielder!
The scabbard is embedded with the "Blood-Bursting Mystic Formation". Once unsealed, the blade will ignite with blood flames, its power approaching that of a Peak Undying Realm strike, but it requires sacrificing ninety percent of one's own Blood Qi!
This knife can be given to his son!
Nine Tribulations Body-Tempering Tower!
It is used to temper the physical body, making it extremely powerful!
He thought it would be good to improve Little Xuanzi's physique, believing that with his disciple's cultivation fanaticism, it would definitely boost his strength and he would be very happy.
Zhoutian Star-Evolving Disc!
A Seven Mysteries- level array plate, made of a material that resembles jade but is not jade, with a starry galaxy appearing on its surface.
It is a treasure that can evolve into various formations! You can use this formation plate to deduce other people's formations, thereby learning and deciphering their formations!
This is a treasure belonging to an extremely powerful cultivation formation!!
It could be given to my good friend Huang Hao.
Wind and Cloud Ninth Heaven Thunder Pearl!
Seven Mysteries Treasures and other treasures.
It can be given to Xiao Qingyi.
Lu Qing'an liked every single one he saw.
They were able to take down all these treasures and give them to many people in the courtyard.
"It's not that these treasures suit them, but rather that there are too many people in the courtyard, each with different cultivation methods and characteristics, so almost every treasure can be matched with them..."
Lu Qing'an felt a surge of joy.
I didn't think there was anything wrong with it; on the contrary, I thought it was quite good.
Can an ordinary person support so many interesting people?
At the auction, a group of people watched as Lu Qing'an said "I want it" to every treasure he saw, and they were at a loss for words.
They had never seen anything like it!
This is simply inhuman!!!
"Who exactly is he? Where does he come from? Just how wealthy is his family?!"
"I'm starting to doubt if this chamber of commerce even belongs to them!!!"
"Wow! I've never seen anyone so rich!!!"
Lu Qing'an had never really experienced being looked at like a rich person before. He had been cultivating for many years and was always quite poor. Now, a feeling welled up in his heart.
I've met many wealthy people, but they all call me a rich person.
Alright! In the blink of an eye, we've arrived at the last item for auction!
The host was also quite puzzled, as this was the first time he had hosted an auction that ended so quickly!
The entire auction process was shortened by at least 80%!
Ding Yishan's face darkened.
His worst fears came true!
He came here specifically for this last treasure!
If Lu Qing'an manages to get this last item too, he'll really be cursing!!
"Fellow Daoist, it was all a misunderstanding before. The last item is of great significance to me! I hope you will stop competing with me!" Ding Yishan transmitted his voice directly to Lu Qing'an, speaking in a relatively gentle tone.
However, a closer look at his tone reveals a hidden threat!
It's as if it's saying, "Give me some face, or don't push me to the point of turning against you!"
Upon hearing Ding Yishan's voice, Lu Qing'an glanced at Ding Yishan but offered no reply.
He was even more curious about what the last item to be auctioned would be.
The host then presented the final item for auction.
It turned out to be a broken, round jade slab.
There is a notch about the size of a thumbnail.
"This treasure is very special. It's somewhat damaged, but it's still at the Seven Mysteries level! Its specific function is unknown, but it's closely related to the Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone. As soon as it gets close to the Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone, it will emit a faint glow!"
Upon hearing the words "Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone," Lu Qing'an instantly became interested.
How can you be so sure this treasure is at the Seven Mysteries Realms level if you don't even know its function?
That must be something good!
"Fellow Daoist! Stop bidding!" Just as Lu Qing'an was about to speak again, Ding Yishan's voice transmission appeared in his ears once more.
Lu Qing'an glanced at Ding Yishan, completely unfazed, and calmly said, "I want this too."
