The auction only had a total of 126 auction items. After the monarch from the Sima Clan successfully bid the 100th item. The auction was now at the peak and everyone was looking forward to the grade of the next auction items.
“Auction item no.108. It is a mid-grade heaven stone. This mid-grade heaven stone is around the size of two inches and I think I do not have to say anything about its effects. Everyone should be clear. The starting price is 150,000 mid-grade spirit stones, please begin.”
Luo Qiong unveiled the cloth on the small board and smiled.
“It is really a mid-grade heaven stone!”
“I must obtain it.”
Mid-grade heaven stones were too important for Primary Sea Realm monarchs. Heaven stones were able to help with the comprehension of martial arts, comprehension of bone frame pattern, or to increase the martial dao foundation. It wouldn’t be exaggerating to say that heaven stones could allow a martial artist to have a smoother journey on the martial dao.
Low-grade heaven stones were already rather beneficial for Primary Sea Realm monarchs, the mid-grade heaven stones were ten times greater than the low-grade heaven stones. At this current moment, high-level monarchs or even peak-level monarchs were tempted.
“180,000.”
“200,000.”
“250,000.”
The Golden Spear Monarch and the Wind Saber Monarch who were acting arrogantly earlier didn’t dare to even bid now.
They were merely 4th level Primary Sea Realm monarchs. Competing with high-level monarchs was simply a death-seeking behavior.
“300,000.”
The Red Rainbow Monarch who was sitting beside Three-Eyed Saber Monarch had made a bid with an indifferent voice.
“Red Rainbow Monarch. 300,000 isn’t enough to obtain this mid-grade heaven stone. I bid 350,000.”
At a supreme private room just beside, a bald middle-aged man sneered.
(TL note: Somehow the author changes supreme seats to supreme private room)
“400,000.”
Red Rainbow Monarch knew who was the person on the other side. That person was South Sun County’s Sun Pole Sect’s Sect Patriarch Sky Pole Monarch. His strength was extremely powerful and wasn’t inferior to the Red Rainbow Monarch.
“450,000.” The Sky Pole Monarch grinned.
“500,000.”
The duo were increasing the bid by 50,000 each time. Even the people in the supreme private rooms were flabbergasted.
The high-level Primary Sea Realm monarch from the Sima Clan grinned and said, “These monarch-class sects are too rich. In my opinion, this piece of mid-grade heaven stone is only worth 400,000 at most. Any higher wouldn’t be worth it.”
“550,000.” Sky Pole Monarch continued to bid.
“600,000.”
This price was the Red Rainbow Monarch’s limit. He might have plenty of mid-grade spirit stones, but he wasn’t going to waste it like this.
As for whether this price was exceeding the price value of a mid-grade heaven stone, the Red Rainbow Monarch didn’t care.
As the sect patriarch of the Red Rainbow Sect, he always had an immense sense of crisis. The best way to resolve a crisis was naturally to increase his strength.
In fact, Red Rainbow Monarch wasn’t the only person who could sense the crisis. All the foreign monarch-class sects in the Emperor Sky Continent felt the same crisis. After all, the Emperor Sky Continent had too many monarch-class sects and there were plenty of emperor-class factions pressuring from above. There might just be a day when they would be chased out of the Emperor Sky Continent.
“I shall give up this mid-grade heaven stone to you.”
The Sky Pole Monarch pursed his lips and was rather unhappy.
Ultimately, this mid-grade heaven stone was purchased by the Red Rainbow Monarch for 600,000 mid-grade spirit stones.
“The price might have been pushed higher due to competition, but there should be people snatching for a mid-grade heaven stone with at least 400,000 mid-grade spirit stones.”
Li Fuchen had used a mid-grade heaven stone which was the size of a cup. The purity was rather similar to this piece.
It also meant that if Li Fuchen auctioned it, he would at least obtain 400,000 mid-grade spirit stones.
“I still have a bowl-sized, medium purity, mid-grade heaven stone. I wonder how much mid-grade spirit stones will be worth on the auction?” Li Fuchen believed that 500,000 mid-grade spirit stones was already plenty enough, but as the auction was reaching the later-phase, he understood that 500,000 mid-grade spirit stones were nothing to a true expert. He really couldn’t imagine what kind of price would the heaven class low-tier weapon be?
2 million? 5 million?
“Auction item no.115. Pseudo-heaven class artifact saber, Green Flame Saber. This Green Flame Saber is actually forged with heaven class low-tier materials. But everyone should know that the failure rate of forging a heaven class artifact saber is extremely high. This Green Flame Saber is considered a failure. Despite the case, its strength is at least half of a heaven class low-tier artifact saber. The starting price is 300,000 mid-grade spirit stones.”
When the 115th item was presented, most of the saber monarchs became attentive.
Even those monarchs who didn’t use sabers had also revealed intrigued reactions.
Most of the monarchs didn’t have heaven class martial arts and if they could obtain a pseudo-heaven class artifact saber, they could simply search for a earth class peak-tier saber art to cultivate. By then, their combat strength would certainly be much stronger than their current state.
“If you don’t have enough mid-grade spirit stones, I can borrow you some.” The Red Rainbow Monarch said to the Three-Eyed Saber Monarch.
The Three-Eyed Saber Monarch shook his head. “Your spirit stones are supposed to contest for the heaven class low-tier artifact sword. Don’t worry, I have more than enough spirit stones to bid for this Green Flame Saber.”
The bid had started and in just a few breaths of time, the Green Flame Saber’s price had reached 400,000.
“500,000.” The Three-Eyed Saber Monarch made his bid.
As the most senior high-level monarch in the Red Rainbow Sect, the Three-Eyed Saber Monarch’s personal wealth wasn’t inferior to the Red Rainbow Monarch.
“520,000.”
“550,000.”
“600,000.”
The price continued to climb.
The bidders were either the upper echelons from monarch-class sects or upper echelons from the South Sun County’s second-rate monarch-class clans. Only these two factions would have the confidence to bid for the pseudo-heaven class artifact saber, while the others weren’t qualified.
“650,000. Everyone, I am Tao Guang and I am the Clan Head of Tao Clan. I hope that everyone can sell me a favor.”
Inside one of the supreme private rooms, an authoritative voice echoed.
Tao Clan was also one of the five major second-rate monarch-class clans in South Sun County.
Tao Clan Head, Tao Guang was at the 8th level of Primary Sea Realm and it was a renowned saber monarch in the South Sun County,
After hearing Tao Guang’s words, most of the high-level monarchs who didn’t use sabers had pondered for a moment before they stopped bidding.
“700,000.” The Three-Eyed Saber Monarch sneered and didn’t bother about Tao Guang.
“Hmph, 750,000.”
Tao Guang took at a glance at the supreme private room where Three-Eyed Saber Monarch and Red Rainbow Monarch were in before bidding another 50,000.
“1 million.”
Three-Eyed Saber Monarch remained calm and collected but the bid he called out had shocked everyone.
To add 250,000 mid-grade spirit stones at once. Was he treating mid-grade spirit stones as low-grade spirit stones?
“1.05 million.” Tao Guang didn’t wish to give up. He knew that even if a heaven class low-tier artifact saber appeared, the chances of him obtaining it would be very small. Therefore, he had to obtain this Green Flame Saber.
“1.2 million.” Three-Eyed Saber Monarch’s voice was very composed and no one could see if it was a pretense or not.
“Are you really not going to give me, Tao Guang any face?” Tao Guang had an extremely unpleasant expression.
1.2 million mid-grade spirit stones was almost half the clan wealth of a third-rate monarch-class clan.
His Tao Clan might be a second-rate monarch-class clan, but the clan wealth was only around 10 to 20 million mid-grade spirit stones. It was imaginable how much pressure he was under now that he was trying to use 10% of the clan wealth to purchase a saber.
Most importantly, he was certain that even if he kept bidding, the other party wouldn’t give up.
“What do I need your face for?” The Three-Eyed Saber Monarch replied.
“Great, great.” Tao Guang said nothing else but he obviously marked down the Three-Eyed Saber Monarch.
If the auction price of the Green Flame Saber was shocking, then the rest of the auction items would let everyone know how wealthy true experts were.
A single pseudo-heaven class elixir, the Sea Ascension Elixir which could allow a high-level monarch to increase the cultivation by one whole level was auctioned out for 1 million mid-grade spirit stones.
A pseudo-heaven class artifact armor was bid at a sky-high price of 1.8 million mid-grade spirit stones.
A pseudo-heaven class cardinal artifact was sold for the shocking price of 2.9 million mid-grade spirit stones.
For the rest of the auction, there wasn’t any item that was lesser than 1 million mid-grade spirit stones. Most of them were sold at the price of 2 million.
“Auction item no.125. A high-tier demonic beast king’s demonic beast core. Everyone should know how difficult it is to kill a high-tier demonic beast king. Even a half-emperor wouldn’t dare to guarantee a kill on a high-tier demonic beast king. Furthermore, this high-tier demonic beast king isn’t a normal demonic beast king. It is an One-Eyed Cloud Python that possesses the bloodline of the Cloud Engulfing Python Ruler. Its strength is already a half-ruler, not even three to five half-emperors might be able to kill it together. The starting price is 1.5 million mid-grade spirit stones.”
The higher the grade of the demonic beast core, the higher the value. Demonic beast king’s demonic beast core would contain the demonic beast king’s power essence, which was very beneficial for Primary Sea Realm monarch’s cultivation. This One-Eyed Cloud Python’s demonic beast core had a value that was several times higher than regular high-tier demonic beast cores. Anyone who bid it, might be able to extract the trace of power essence from the Cloud Engulfing Python Ruler. Even a trace of a demonic beast ruler’s power was enough for a Primary Sea Realm monarch to benefit endlessly.
Just as expected, this demonic beast core was very popular and the price quickly reached beyond 2 million mid-grade spirit stones and was rapidly approaching 3 million mid-grade spirit stones.
Ultimately, this One-Eyed Cloud Python’s demonic beast core was purchased at the price of 3.2 million mid-grade spirit stones. The bidder was the Yun Clan which was one of the five major second-rate monarch-class clans.
When the demonic beast core fell into the hands of Yun Clan, the whole auction hall was in silence.
Everyone knew that it was time for the true finale item.
“Cough Cough!” The auctioneer cleared his throat while his eyes were releasing brilliance.
“Everyone, the auction is about to come to an end. Just as everyone has found out, this auction’s finale item is a heaven class low-tier weapon. The previous time my Purple Sun Merchant Guild sold a heaven class low-tier weapon during an auction, it was already 20 years ago. We now have another heaven class low-tier weapon that is going to be auctioned. I hope that no one will miss out on this, otherwise, you might need to wait for another 20 years. Present it.”
Luo Qiong beckoned behind the auction stage.
Two large men carried a large board onto the stage.
Luo Qiong suddenly unveiled the cloth on the board and yelled out, “Heaven class low-tier artifact sword, Heaven Rainbow Sword. It has a weight of 49,500 kg and it is the lifetime masterpiece of the no.1 Smith Monarch in Cloud Province, Smith Monarch Black Flame. It is said that, in order to forge this Heaven Rainbow Sword, Smith Monarch Black Flame lost 20 years of his lifespan. The day when the Heaven Rainbow Sword was forged, there was a thunder calamity. Within the radius of 100 miles, the thunderstorm carried on for nine days and nine nights. When the thunder calamity ended, the Heaven Rainbow Sword’s sword qi burst out and cleaved a mountain peak into two halves. The power has yet to be estimated and would need the bidder to carefully try it. I shall stop wasting time. The heaven class low-tier artifact sword, Heaven Rainbow Sword has a starting price of 3 million mid-grade spirit stones. Anyone who has enough high-grade spirit stones can have a 10% discount. Let the auction begin.”
Everyone held their breaths when looking at the magnificent artifact sword that had stunning sword intent.
A heaven class low-tier artifact sword was something that many people wouldn’t be able to see in their entire lifetime. If a high-level Primary Sea Realm monarch wielded this sword, it would probably be easy to kill a half-emperor.
“It is indeed worthy of being a heaven class low-tier artifact sword.” Li Fuchen’s eyes flashed with surprise.
His spiritual awareness could already sense the extremely terrifying sword dao laws and fire dao laws from the Heaven Rainbow Sword. If all the laws were poured out, it was enough to change the weather.
“The second layer of seal on the Joint-Heaven Sword is already comprehended to 98%. I wonder what grade the Joint-Heaven Sword would reach after comprehending everything.”
Li Fuchen quickly thought of his own Joint-Heaven Sword.
In his opinion, the innate quality of the Joint-Heaven Sword was superior to the Heaven Rainbow Sword. The sword spirit had mentioned that the fully unsealed Joint-Heaven Sword had slaughtered countless saints. Saints were existences that were beyond Law Phase Realm emperors and regular heaven class artifact swords were probably considered nothing in the face of a saint.
