The Romantic Cultivator Chapter 1426 The First Auction 1

1426: The First Auction (1) 1426: The First Auction (1) A beautiful maiden with golden eyes and with a noble bearing had stepped on the stage as she announced the start of the auction.

It was obvious to many that she was not only a golden celestial but also a great beauty.

And many of the men were also admiring the beautiful views of her revealing attire that also showed her beautiful slender porcelain legs and half-revealed peaks.

Ji Yuan naturally saw that many of the eyes of the men were about to pop out and he began to curse softly, “These lecherous men.

Look at their big eyes…” The Heaven Destiny Old Man was unhappy that he had been interrupted by the start of the auction and when he had heard Ji Yuan, he interrupted with a wryly smile.

“Why is that I feel that your eyes are wider than before too?” Ji Yuan: … He cursed softly as he rolled his eyes to look at the golden bearded old man, “I am not as lecherous as you.” The Heaven Destiny Old Man hummed softly, “Trust me.

I have a higher standard than you.” Ji Yuan: … This beautiful maiden announced further as she extended her hand to a display that had suddenly appeared via a teleporting device support that was on the platform, “I am Saintess Ji Yichi and I am the auctioneer today.

The first item that is on display is a celestial-step divine sword that is named the Sacred Valiant Lightning.” Even as she had said that, thousands of divine senses were already homing at the white divine sword that was on display.

There were actually many disappointed looks among the cultivators from the gold, silver and bronze sections as many of them could only sense that this divine sword was actually a heaven-step divine sword and not a celestial-step divine sword.

As there were curtains that were on the VIP rooms that were on top great hall, no one could see if the cultivators in the VIP room were disappointed by the results or not.

But it was actually a no brainer that the cultivators inside the VIP rooms would be greatly disappointed too.

A cultivator from the gold section who was obviously a young master of a powerful cultivation sect began to say loudly and without mincing his words, “This is merely a heaven-step divine sword and not a celestial sword.

How can you claim that it is a celestial-step divine sword?

I’ve thought that your action house is the most reputable auction house in the entire Endless Celestial Fraternity.

Are you trying to scam all of us?” Ji Yichi lit a slow smile to say, “Alas, our esteemed auction house does not lie about our items.

This is indeed a celestial-step divine sword.

Do you know that this is actually a divine sword that is owned by the Great Saint Gao Tianshou?

In case you do not know who he is which is not surprising, he is actually the cultivation sect leader of the Valiant Arms Sect from the Nine Celestial Fraternity and he used to be the alliance leader of the orthodox sects from the Nine Celestial Fraternity.

When he was killed by the Devil Goddess, his divine sword was lost until now.

This is the heritage sword of the Valiant Arms Sect for thousands of years.

Any cultivator that is able to use the sanctorum power of this divine sword will be able to reveal the true form of this divine sword and will also be able to release golden lightning that is similar to the six-stage golden lightning tribulation.” When she had said that, there were many mutterings among the cultivators as the Nine Celestial Fraternity is a big celestial fraternity and it is also the richest celestial fraternity with numerous profound treasures.

Moreover, this divine sword had belonged to a powerful great saint who was also the alliance leader of the major orthodox cultivation sects in the Nine Celestial Fraternity.

Plus, this divine sword was also the heritage divine sword of the Valiant Arms Sect too.

But the most important reason was that, celestial swords were extremely rare in the entire Celestial Realm and if this was true, then this divine sword was actually a priceless divine sword too!

Ji Yuan was also looking quite astonished too but it was for another reason; it was because he actually knows the Devil Goddess as Fan Yuqin and she was the half-sister to his Xia Jiajia and Shui Xisi!

Ji Yichi smiled, “The starting bid of this divine sword will be 500 million high grade spirit stones.

The minimum increase will be 50 million high grade spirit stones.” When she had announced this, there were numerous great gasps from the numerous cultivators who had turned ashen; it was because most high grade heaven-step divine swords could cost around 100 million high grade spirit stones and this was 5 times the amount!

Even Ji Yuan was staring with his golden eyes wide-opened as this was a huge amount of high grade spirit stones by his standard and the minimum increase was 50 million high grade spirit stones each time!

Anyang was whispering to Xiang Li in Ji Yuan’s soul seal: You know, a true cultivation hero will not mind this amount of spirit stones.

Listen to the heart beats of our lord.

Our lord looks like he is a poor cultivator.

Xiang Li began to giggle softly: Well, big brother is rich now.

Anyang shook her head: He needs to budget carefully to bid for his saint robe which can cost him an arm or a leg.

A saint-step profound treasure is naturally more superior than a celestial=step profound step and Ji Yuan had only 2.7 billion spirit stones left in his black diamond card.

Ji Yuan was also appraising the heaven-step divine sword that was inside the display and he was nodding, “This is a good divine sword.” The Heaven Destiny Old Man smiled wryly when he had heard Ji Yuan, “You know.

I don’t mind bidding this divine sword for you if you are willing to bee my disciple.” Ji Yuan laughed softly, “I don’t need your help, old man.

I am a rich cultivator and I can bid this myself.

Haha…” When the dozens of cultivators around Ji Yuan and the Heaven Destiny Old Man had heard them, they were all laughing softly and even jeering among themselves; it was because they all believed that the two of them were only boasting and if they were really as rich as they had claimed, they would be in the gold or VIP rooms instead.

Ji Yuan added further with a wryly smile at the golden bearded old man, “Well, I have two emperor-step divine swords already… no wait… I also have a true divinity sword.

I don’t need any charity from you, old man.

Haha…” The cultivators around Ji Yuan began to laugh and jeer more uncontrollably when they had heard Ji Yuan.

Even the Heaven Destiny Old Man was laughing aloud as he held onto his stomach, “This… this is the funniest thing that I have heard today.

Hahahaha…” Ji Yuan frowned, “I am serious…” All of a sudden, there was a great shout from a cultivator from the gold section.

“500 million!” All the cultivators in the great hall began to look in the direction of the gold section where they saw where a thin golden celestial was and it was him that had just displayed a great shout.

This thin golden celestial was looking solemn and it seemed to everyone that he had just staked all his fortune on this ‘heaven-step’ divine sword.

Almost immediately, many of the cultivators were shaking their heads and were muttering.

“This is merely a heaven-step divine sword.

If you can’t synergy with the divine sword then you won’t be able to gain its sanctorum power to bee a celestial sword… this is merely a gambit… it is not worth bidding for…” Ji Yichi smiled as she raised her hammer, “Is there anyone that wants to bid higher?

I will start to hammer the bell thrice then if no one wants to bid higher…” All of a sudden, there was a profound shout from one of the 20 VIP rooms and a gentle masculine voice began to say, “550 million!” This immediately aroused the attention of the thousands of cultivators that began to look in the way of the VIP room that was on top and they were curious who the cultivator that had bid for it.

As for the thin golden celestial, he began to hang his head palely and he was trembling; it was obvious that he could not place another bid.

There were some wealthy cultivators from the golden section that could bid further but not the silver and the bronze section.

Well, not all from the bronze section were poor today.

And one of them was Ji Yuan who was grinning.

The curtain from that VIP room where the bid was heard was now being pulled aside by two pretty maidens and a scholarly golden celestial in white could be seen.

Also with him were 4 golden celestials in black.

When this scholarly golden celestial was seen, many of the cultivators could be heard gasping with great shock.

“This is Young Master Qiao Shandong from the Ace Sword Manor!

He is not only a great saint but is also one of the seven most powerful sword saints in the Endless Celestial Fraternity!” Qiao Shandong began to lit a smile as he repeated, “550 million.

Anyone wants to bid against me?” He looked very sure that there was no one that would want to bid against him and that most cultivators were actually waiting for the other profound treasures to appear before bidding.

As a sword saint, he was confident that he would gain mastery of this divine sword and turned it into a celestial sword for his own use.

Ji Yuan had suddenly raised his hand as he raised his profound voice to shout, “600 million!” When he had announced it, all the cultivators were gasping with great shock as they turned toward Ji Yuan’s direction.

But they were even more shocked that it had actually e from a cultivator in the bronze section.

The Heaven Destiny Old Man was stunned as he stared at Ji Yuan, “Young man, you really bid for this divine sword?!”
