The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3481 The items are good, but I won't buy them.

Exploring the Sacred Realm is something every member of the Celestial Race wants to do, because once the exploration is successful, it will directly rewrite their destiny.

However, after such a long period of time, most of the sacred domains left behind from the era of the fallen saints have been discovered and explored, and the remaining sacred domains are becoming increasingly rare.

Now that auction houses are auctioning rubbings of the sacred domain left behind by Ancestor Chen, does this mean that the location of the sacred domain has been exposed?

Lin Chen examined the rubbing, a sense of doubt rising in his heart.

If this rubbing clearly indicates the location of the Sacred Realm, why doesn't the auction house organize its own team to explore the Sacred Realm? Why put it up for auction?

No matter how much this rubbing fetches at auction, it's insignificant compared to the value represented by a sacred domain.

The auctioneer continued, "The adventure team discovered what appears to be a sacred domain left behind by the Ancestor Chen, and naturally wanted to explore it. They ventured deeper into the sacred domain, but various powerful demonic beasts lived within it. The adventure team almost perished before they had gone very far."

"This rubbing was brought out by that adventure team in the Holy Land. According to them, there is no turning back once you enter the Holy Land. The only way to leave the Holy Land is to find the Gate of Life, which is a teleportation portal, and use this rubbing to activate the portal."

"This rubbing is like a key to leave the Holy Land. Holding it to enter the Holy Land will prevent you from getting trapped inside and unable to leave. Of course, this rubbing is just a key and cannot prevent the dangers you may encounter inside, so you must be careful when entering."

"The last survivor of the adventure team, although he possessed this rubbing, no longer dared to venture inside, because it was too dangerous for him to handle. So he chose to sell the rubbing and attached the address of that sacred place."

"After obtaining the address and rubbing of the sacred site, we immediately sent people to confirm it. The good news is that we did indeed find the sacred site located in a remote place. The bad news is that when we sent people to explore the sacred site, their soul lamps went out not long afterward."

The auctioneer pointed to the rubbing and said calmly, "There's no need for doubt. There's only one rubbing, and it's very valuable, so naturally we wouldn't let anyone take it in. We sent people in hoping to find more rubbings and explore the situation inside, but the result wasn't good."

“We sent in more than one group of people, but they all died. The longest-surviving person stayed inside for twenty-five days.”

"Furthermore, there is another crucial point: this sacred domain has become incredibly powerful after absorbing so much spiritual energy over such a long period of time. It is extremely aggressive towards saints, and any saint who gets close will be attacked by the sacred domain."

“We tried to force our way into the Holy Domain by having the Saints join forces, but we failed. The rules of the Holy Domain are very powerful. Even if many Saints joined forces, they still could not resist the rules of the Holy Domain and could not even get close, let alone enter.”

"In other words, the strength limit for entering safely without being attacked by the rules of the Holy Domain is below the level of a Saint. Ultimately, we decided to put this rubbing up for auction. Friends who are interested in exploring the Holy Domain can bid for this rubbing, which will provide an extra layer of protection for entering the Holy Domain."

"The rubbing, along with the exact location of the Sacred Realm, will be auctioned starting at five million divine crystals, with each bid increment not less than one million divine crystals."

"Auction begins!"

With the auctioneer's introduction complete, the bidding for the first and final item officially began.

"Six million!"

"Seven million!"

"Ten million!"

The price of rubbings has been rising steadily, and the bidding is fierce.

Ning Hesheng transmitted his voice to Lin Chen: "This is a good thing, do you want to buy it?"

Lin Chen shook his head: "There are too many uncertainties. We should prioritize buying the Fire Kirin."

Ning Hesheng nodded, a hint of regret in his eyes, but he also knew that Lin Chen's choice was correct. If they could acquire the spirit of the Fire Qilin, the power of Lin Chen's fire-attribute magic weapon would be greatly enhanced—a genuine boost to his strength.

If you were to bid for a rubbing, even if you could win the bid, whether you would gain anything by entering the sacred realm with the rubbing was completely unknown, and you might even encounter danger along the way.

The fact that even saints cannot enter it does not mean that the danger within is second only to that of a quasi-saint.

Even the combined might of multiple saints could be suppressed by the rules of the Holy Domain, demonstrating just how powerful the Holy Domain is.

Lin Chen watched the fierce bidding with a calm expression.

He only had 40 million divine crystals, which he obtained by selling a large amount of resources. He couldn't compare to the wealthy and powerful families with abundant resources.

Seeing how fiercely they were bidding, it was still uncertain whether he could buy the Fire Qilin demon beast spirit with his 40 million.

As the price rose, buyers gave up one by one, until only two buyers remained, bidding against each other.

A middle-aged man dressed in brocade robes, with a square face and an imposing air, had his ten fingers adorned with rings of various colors, sparkling with jewels, making him appear extremely wealthy at first glance.

One was a young man in white, who didn't wear many ornaments, but his extraordinary nature was still evident. He sat casually in the chair, casually calling out prices, with a faint smile on his face. His eyes glanced around, giving people a feeling of noble evil.

"Forty million!"

As the young man in white raised his bid again, the middle-aged man with a square face frowned slightly, his eyes sharp as knives as he scrutinized the young man, seemingly assessing his identity.

The young man in white smiled slightly and pointed to the auction stage: "Don't look at me. If you want it, bid. Do you think I'll give it to you just because you glare at me?"

The middle-aged man sneered: "You arrogant brat, do you know who I am? How dare you speak to me like that?"

The young man in white chuckled: "This is an auction, not a family reunion. If you have money, bid; if you don't, shut up."

Anger blazed in the middle-aged man's eyes as he raised the sign again: "Forty-five million!"

The young man in white remained expressionless and lazily raised his sign: "Fifty million."

The middle-aged man's expression changed drastically. Although he was extremely wealthy, it was clear that this young man in white was no ordinary person either.

He originally wanted to use the conversation to find out the other party's identity, but the other party not only didn't take the bait, but also mocked him.

Although this rubbing is very valuable, raising the price any further would seem like a waste of money, since obtaining the rubbing does not guarantee a successful exploration of the sacred site.

I couldn't buy the rubbing, but I can try to buy another copy of the address of the sacred site.

How could an auction house not do business like this?

It's a fool not to make money when you can.

Since this rubbing was brought out from inside, perhaps there are more rubbings inside?
