Upon hearing this, Fang Zhiyu awkwardly said, "To be honest, Saintess Xihua, one of those three tis on the list... was ."
"As for the other two, our Celestial Profound Sect is currently dispatching people to investigate, but no reliable news has co through yet."
With the East Cang List changing frequently, the Celestial Profound Sect was quick to activate so insider connections, collecting information everywhere.
However, the two individuals who later appeared on the list seem to have erged from the Eastern Territory out of nowhere.
Days passed, yet no whispers ca back.
Saintess Xihua nodded, gently closed her eyes, seemingly to rejuvenate herself.
anwhile, Lu Ye and Chen Lingxiang also arrived in a silver card box.
"Tonight is overcrowded; if we had co any later, there probably wouldn’t be any space left in the hall." Chen Lingxiang, unaware of the auction list, curiously remarked.
"I wonder what will show up on the last night of the trade fair that attracts so many people here."
"I overheard sothing; it seems like a spirit sword at the true artifact level." Lu Ye calmly replied.
This level of magical artifact, Lu Ye estimated, unless he brought out his secret stash of source crystals, he probably wouldn’t have the chance to bid on it.
But compared to a top-grade magical artifact, Lu Ye still believed that enhancing his own strength was more crucial.
Magical artifacts can embellish and enhance combat power, but fundantally, it depends on one’s own realm.
Hearing this, Chen Lingxiang glanced at Lu Ye silently, knowing that apparently, the chief auctioneer of the Bai Chuan Comrce Association... might have so ties with the Young Master Lu.
Hence, it’s possible for Ruxue to give Young Master Lu a heads-up on the auction items in advance by pulling so strings.
However, Chen Lingxiang was aware that given Young Master Lu’s talent, it’s inevitable he would attract attention.
Even expressing her feelings, she wouldn’t compete for anything, not even seeking a title; just... acting secretly!
The ergence of true artifacts indeed compelled many factions to attend.
...
As Ruxue, clad in a cheongsam, appeared on the auction stage, the atmosphere in the venue instantly froze.
All eyes imdiately converged.
Ruxue smiled slightly, maintaining her efficient style; after a brief introduction, she prepared to kick off the auction.
anwhile, in a quiet room of the auction house, two people sat facing each other.
One of them was none other than Yuan Chong, one of the four grandmasters whose stellar radiance illuminated the earth outside East Cang City that night.
At this mont, Yuan Chong sat on a chair, with steam rising from the fragrant tea before him; his old eyes held a hint of respect as he looked at the elderly man across, who seed drowsy.
"Elder Teng, a year has passed, and you’re still in good form."
Teng Qingshan, the foundation of Bai Chuan Comrce Association in Xuanzhou, one of the two tributor grandmasters!
Mortal Realm Grandmaster Third Layer!
Even within the Eastern Territory, he was among the martial elite, able to converse equally with top-tier forces like the Celestial Profound Sect and Yellow Springs Pavilion.
Upon hearing Yuan Chong’s words, Teng Qingshan opened his seemingly weary eyes, shook his head and said, "I’m old, no longer as capable. The Eastern Territory is becoming increasingly lively, and the rapid rise of the younger generation far surpasses our era."
Yuan Chong nodded in agreent, feeling a bit lancholic, "Elder Teng speaks true; not only in our Eastern Territory, I heard that in the Northern Territory, where Heaven and Earth Source Qi is rather sparse, a remarkable martial arts grandmaster has erged recently too."
"In just a few months’ ti, they managed to reverse slay a grandmaster of the Fifth Layer!"
"Even though that grandmaster of the Fifth Layer was reportedly old and frail, with their vitality no longer at its peak, they still far surpass a grandmaster of the Fourth Layer in their pri."
A rare event in the Northern Territory in recent years, when Lu Ye battled on the Yunlan River back then, the entire Xuanzhou was already well aware!
Teng Qingshan was equally surprised upon hearing this; such a genius ca from the Northern Territory?
After pondering for a mont, Teng Qingshan’s eyes gazed towards a certain place, saying, "Tonight’s auction... forces from Lianyun Province have co; just wondering, where will the Starfall Spirit Sword end up?"
The cultivation world in Yun Province is much more splendid than in Xuanzhou.
...
With one auction item after another being auctioned off by Ruxue, soon, it was ti for the final few items.
A Profound Tier Upper Grade Body Technique and a fragnt of a Forbidden Artifact, in the hands of soone at the Early Stage of the Innate Realm, could unleash power comparable to the Middle Stage.
Such high-grade items, rarely seen in external auction houses, have now appeared in abundance.
Watching the price of that Profound Tier Body Technique soar, soon breaking through the billion mark, Lu Ye was sowhat amazed.
"High Tier Body Techniques are indeed too scarce; the price of a Profound Tier Upper Grade Body Technique when auctioned is indeed higher than other types of Profound Tier Upper Grade Secret Manuals."
Body Technique Martial Techniques can attack and defend, making them a focus for many.
However, most of these individuals’ targets are still the ultimate true treasure featured last, so subsequent bidding was restrained.
Finally, the Profound Tier Upper Grade Body Technique was sold for 1.65 billion silver.
"Dear guests, Ruxue knows that each of you has traveled a long way for the final Upper Grade True Artifact... the Starfall Spirit Sword!"
"Next, based on the seller’s request, we will begin the auction for the Starfall Spirit Sword! Whether silver or valuable spirit dicine, or even array plate talismans, they can all be evaluated by our appraisers and counted for the corresponding price!"
Instantly, the auction hall, accommodating up to ten thousand people, fell temporarily silent.
Most of those seated in the hall were not privy to the auctioned items beforehand.
Now, hearing the four characters "Upper Grade True Artifact", their minds were suddenly stunned!
That’s a rare magical artifact only refined by artifact refining grandmasters!
Not just grandmasters, even a mortal realm grandmaster owning such a grade of true artifact would be like adding wings to a tiger.
As a maid placed a sword box on the auction table with both hands, multiple streams of energy instantly locked onto it.
The delicate threads of greed overhead began to spread.
At the sa ti, an unreserved, awe-inspiring grandmaster aura descended fiercely across the brightly lit venue.
At that mont, many innate and grandmaster realm individuals felt their minds and blood awaken markedly.
Indeed, the auction items at Bai Chuan are beyond their reach.
In the diamond box.
At the instant the Starfall Spirit Sword appeared, Saintess Xihua briefly emitted a terrifying fluctuation before it vanished.
Then, looking with interest at the damaged Starfall Spirit Sword in the sword box, her naturally cold voice sounded.
"This spirit sword is indeed impressive; although heavily damaged, the core forging array is still intact. If nurtured and repaired for ten years, it might transform into a top-grade true artifact."
"Fang Zhiyu, later you shall bid on my behalf."
Upon hearing, Fang Zhiyu nodded and replied, "Alright, the bidding task will not trouble Saintess Xihua; Fang shall handle it."
