Chapter 65

From the start of the auction until now, it has been about an hour...

During this hour, the number of auction items that have been sold is countless. Among them, the cheaper ones have reached several thousand gold coins, while the more expensive ones have at least reached tens of thousands of gold coins!

Although many items have been sold, the atmosphere of the auction has not weakened at all; instead, it has become even more intense.

Because, the further it goes, the more exquisite the auction items become. By now, the item projected on the stage, which is part of some unknown magical beast, has already risen to thirty thousand gold coins! And people are still bidding!

If ordinary auction items can rise to this level, then how high will the three items that are said to be the highlights of the auction go?

Wu Yan doesn't know, because he hopes they will rise as high as possible.

This way, his Kusanagi sword can be sold for an astronomical price!

Therefore, although Wu Yan hasn't bid on any items, his smile has never stopped, as if he has already reaped a great harvest.

The bidding crystal plate with the significant number is being held by Lilin, who is sitting next to Wu Yan. She is looking at the numbers projected on the crystal ball below while shouting something at the bidding crystal plate, playing with it happily.

Speaking to the bidding crystal plate, of course, means bidding.

Letting a little girl bid on items?

Wu Yan is certainly not that foolish. Lilin is just playing...

Yes, just playing!

And seeing Lilin play with the bidding crystal plate, Wu Yan did not stop her at all. Instead, he smiled evilly. Not just Wu Yan, even Chrysanthemum and Mikan did not intend to stop her. They just looked at Wu Yan and Lilin with a bit of helplessness, forcing a smile.

The reason they did not stop her is that Lilin is just too clever!

At first, when she said she wanted to play with the bidding crystal plate, the two women were very opposed. Who knew if Lilin might accidentally bid a sky-high price on some trash?

At that time, they would really have nowhere to cry...

But later, they changed their minds.

Because she was really just playing...

Lilin usually bids a little at a time. When the bidding reaches a certain point, and she sees that the numbers on the crystal ball projection are consistently from a few fixed bidders, she will decisively give up!

Because that means the item is about to be sold!

Seeing this little imp raise the price of an item that wasn't very expensive to a limit, Chrysanthemum and Mikan were both amused and exasperated.

If the bidders knew that they had overpaid because Lilin was playing, they would definitely break down the VIP room where Wu Yan and the others are...

"Thirty-five thousand gold coins, first time! Thirty-five thousand gold coins, second time! Thirty-five thousand gold coins, third time! Sold! Congratulations to bidder number 199 for successfully bidding on the Green Wind Eagle Claw!"

The sound of the gavel striking the block rang out again, signifying a successful auction. The item on the crystal ball projection disappeared.

The old man, who has auctioned no less than hundreds of items, showed no signs of fatigue. Even after speaking for over an hour, he did not appear thirsty. He was still full of energy, starting the next auction.

On the crystal ball projection, another auction item appeared—a pure white crystal!

"The next item to be auctioned is this pure white crystal!" The old man pointed at the pure white crystal on the crystal ball projection with his wrinkled finger and smiled mysteriously.

Seeing the puzzled 'audience,' the old man tapped the gavel in his hand and said, "Perhaps many of you don't know what this is. To be honest, even we don't know what it is..."

When these words came out, the people who were just puzzled were suddenly stunned. The old man, seemingly unaware of the change in atmosphere, continued, "Because even our most experienced and authoritative appraisal master couldn't identify what it is..."

If you don't know what it is, why are you auctioning it?

Hearing the old man's words, the people present were stirred. Some were shocked, some frowned, some were angry, and some were dismissive.

However, the old man seemed to care little about the people's reactions. He still smiled, as if he was very confident that someone would bid on the pure white crystal.

The old man pressed his hands down, signaling for everyone to quiet down. Indeed, the old man had some authority, and everyone immediately became silent, waiting for him to speak.

The old man smiled at everyone present and said, "Don't think we are deceiving you. Indeed, we don't know what this magical pure white crystal is, but it has a significant background! If we could identify it, we wouldn't be auctioning it!"

He drew out his words, but at the same time, his tone piqued the curiosity of everyone present, including Chrysanthemum, Mikan, and Lilin.

The old man stroked his beard and said firmly, "This pure white crystal is not an item someone entrusted us to auction. It is something we are auctioning ourselves!"

At this point, the old man paused, then continued, "One of our people, by a very fortunate coincidence, encountered a ninth-rank warrior who was on the brink of death and about to perish!"

When the words "ninth-rank warrior" came out of the old man's mouth, nearly a thousand people present were shocked. Some of the smarter ones had already guessed what the old man was about to say.

"Yes! This pure white crystal is something our people took from the hand of this ninth-rank warrior after he perished, which he was holding tightly!"

The crowd was stunned again, and some began to fidget. Some people, looking at the projection of the pure white crystal, had a hint of fervor in their eyes.

In this era where gods have fallen, half-gods are the most powerful beings, and there are only five of them!

And how many ninth-rank warriors, who are just below these five, are there in the entire world?

No one knows!

But the people present all knew one thing...

Would something related to a ninth-rank warrior be simple?

Of course not!

Moreover, from the old man's words, they learned that this pure white crystal was something the ninth-rank warrior was still protecting even in death, which further proved its significance!

Add to that the fact that even the most experienced and authoritative appraisal master couldn't identify it, and the mysterious aura, combined with the term "ninth-rank" representing great power, was enough to stir everyone's desire to possess it.

As for whether the auction house was exaggerating to deceive people, no one doubted it.

In this important supply town, an auction house of this scale, which is trusted by everyone, would not do such a thing.

Thus, nearly a thousand people present began to pick up their bidding crystal plates, ready to participate in the auction.

Even in the VIP rooms at the top, which the crowd couldn't see, people raised their bidding crystal plates to their mouths, ready to bid at any moment.

Seeing this, the old man's lips curled slightly, as if he had expected it.

In the VIP room where Wu Yan, Chrysanthemum, Mikan, and Lilin were...

Chrysanthemum and Mikan frowned at the pure white crystal on the crystal ball projection, as if trying to identify it. Lilin, holding the bidding crystal plate, looked very excited, apparently planning to cause some chaos again.

And Wu Yan? The moment the pure white crystal appeared on the projection, his body suddenly trembled, and his eyes lit up with surprise.

"Beep! System detects that the item in the user's line of sight contains a large amount of life energy! It is recommended that the user obtain this item!"
