Swallowing the Stars: Ten Thousand Times Return for Taking on Disciples

Chapter 183 High-Level Auction

Lu Qingshan's gaze swept over each of the auction items.

I feel like I've broadened my horizons.

The Xuan Yu Liu Li fruit that I entrusted to the auction, although it was the final item, was not the most expensive, and it didn't even rank in the top ten.

For example, this.

"Hurricane Purple Light"

The starting price is 50000 trillion Hunyuan units, which is 25 times the starting price of the Xuanyu Liuli Fruit that he entrusted to be auctioned.

The intelligent system is described in detail.

This weapon was created using the destructive rays from a terrifying secret realm. Immortal gods can easily manipulate it and unleash its terrifying purple destructive rays. If a god's body is struck by these rays, even an invincible king would not survive.

It can be considered the strongest weapon below the level of a Cosmic Venerable.

Compared to this thing, the Mech Race's Disintegration Tower is like a child's game.

If you were to acquire such a weapon on a battlefield outside the region, you could practically do whatever you wanted.

Even without readily taking action, their deterrent power is terrifying; even those who have reached the highest rank of King or Invincible dare not provoke them lightly. After all, those who have reached the highest rank of King or Invincible certainly possess two or three powerful treasures, and if they were to die carelessly, the cost of resurrection would likely be something they could never repay in their lifetime.

However, the starting price of five trillion Chaos Units is too outrageous. Even someone as invincible as the True King, who doesn't sell his treasures, probably couldn't afford such a terrifying weapon.

And... that purple crystal, which is only the size of a fingernail.

Its name is [Ice Prison Star Stone]

According to the intelligent life form, this thing comes from the most terrifying Ice Prison Star in the distant Wuhua Secret Realm.

That is one of the most terrifying areas in the Wuhua Secret Realm, where even a Universe Venerable might perish.

This tiny Ice Prison Star Stone has a starting price of 20000 trillion Chaos Units.

It is 10 times that of the Mysterious Jade Glazed Fruit.

Further down.

It's a large barrel of Purple Fire Ape Wine, with a base price of 8000 billion Mixed Yuan Units.

Looking at the description of the Purple Fire Ape Wine, even Lu Qingshan felt a little tempted. He himself also liked fine wine, but he wasn't as crazy about it as Yang.

This Purple Fire Ape Wine is extremely rare. Only the special life form, the Purple Fire Ape, can successfully brew it. Even the Universe Venerable cannot replicate it because only the Purple Fire Ape can access the special environment required for brewing.

In the entire primordial universe, there are only a little over ten thousand Purple Fire Apes. In the memories of Ghost King Lu Qingshan, the entire race of the One-Horned Ghost King at its peak numbered over ten thousand.

Scarcity is only a small part of the reason for the high price.

Purple Fire Ape Wine also has three major benefits.

Firstly, the taste is superb; for those who appreciate fine wine, one sip is an unforgettable experience.

Secondly, it can increase the affinity with fire-type laws. This is not something you can easily obtain with trash like the Earth Element Fruit. The increased affinity with laws is much stronger and will not disappear. It can also change one's body to a form suitable for fire-type laws, thus enhancing the power of fire-type laws.

This amazing effect is comparable to the rare Thunder Source Crystal that Lu Qingshan obtained before, no wonder it is so expensive.

Thirdly, you'll definitely get drunk after drinking it!
This third point may seem meaningless, but for truly invincible people, getting drunk is an extremely luxurious thing.

They were too powerful, with strong divine bodies. Even the most potent wine had no effect on them; apart from the taste, they couldn't experience the feeling of a hangover.

It's quite normal for some people to spend a lot of money to buy a cup of Purple Fire Ape Wine just to get drunk.

Lu Qingshan can understand.

Once he becomes powerful enough, he can buy some Purple Fire Ape Wine and try it out to see what it tastes like.

But let's forget about it for now...

It's not that he can't afford it, but that it's unnecessary. He already has a plan for the funds from selling the Xuan Yu Liu Li Fruit. It's completely unnecessary to jeopardize his strength for the sake of indulging in a little gluttony.

He continued looking down until the 11th and final item in the auction, when he finally saw the Xuan Yu Liu Li fruit that he had consigned for auction, with a starting price of 2000 billion Hun Yuan units.

Further down, Lu Qingshan also saw a Divine Envoy Inheritance Crystal, which belonged to the Divine Body Amplification type. Since the Divine Envoy was still alive, its value was not high, and the starting bid was only 300 billion Chaos Units.

Even a slightly powerful king-level expert could afford it.

Lu Qingshan finished reviewing all 108 auction items. The highest-priced item, the Hurricane Purple Light, had a starting price of five trillion Chaos Yuan Units, while the lowest-priced item was a King-level Immortal Divine Weapon priced at fifty million Chaos Yuan Units. As expected, it was close to his guess. Although five-star users could participate in this high-level auction, ordinary Marquis-level Immortals would probably only be able to watch helplessly, as they couldn't even afford the lowest-priced item.

Just like when Lu Qingshan participated in the mid-level auction before, the qualification only required 10,000 Hunyuan units. He brought 200,000 Hunyuan units, which exceeded the assets of most immortal gods, but in the end, he could only buy some scraps. He didn't even qualify to bid on most of the auction items.

"Alright... I believe everyone has seen the auction items and made their decisions. So... the high-level auction officially begins. The first item is Starlight Guardian Armor, with a starting price of 5000 million Mixed Yuan Units."

The host, Lin, spoke clearly, and after she finished speaking, bids could be placed on the smart screen in front of everyone…

Lu Qingshan did not make a bid. This immortal divine weapon was meaningless to him. He could give it to his disciples at will and receive a huge cash return.

Lu Qingshan didn't need it, but the others present were envious of the armor. Armor that could be auctioned at a high-level auction was definitely a masterpiece, let alone armor that was of great use in the process of becoming a king and immortal.

"5500 million Hunyuan!"

"6000 million Hunyuan!"

"6100 million..."

"6300 million..."

Prices gradually climb, and often, as soon as one price jumps out, several more will immediately appear above it.

The price quickly broke through 8000 million units of mixed energy. At this point, there were fewer people bidding, with only a few raising the price.

Ultimately, this Starlight Guardian Armor, with a starting bid of only 5000 million Mixed Yuan Units, sold for a high price of 9600 million Mixed Yuan Units, almost double the starting bid.

Based on Lu Qingshan's previous understanding of high-end auctions, it was rare for prices to double, so the consignor of this item had made a huge profit this time.

The second thing...

The third one!
……

One by one, the auction items were brought up and snapped up in the blink of an eye; almost every single one was a hit.

Clearly, these auction items were carefully selected by the Cosmic Galaxy Bank and the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance before being put on the auction, and most of them are treasures that many people urgently need.

The auction lasted for three days. On the morning of the third day, the Xuan Yu Liu Li fruit that Lu Qingshan had entrusted to be auctioned was finally delivered.

"This Mysterious Jade Glazed Fruit was entrusted to us for auction by a distinguished guest. It is a rare cosmic treasure. A peak-level Realm Lord who consumes the Mysterious Jade Glazed Fruit has a 20% chance of comprehending a lower-level law and breaking through to the Immortal Realm... This has been verified by a large amount of data and is beyond doubt. The starting bid for the Mysterious Jade Glazed Fruit is 200 billion Chaos Units!!"

As soon as Lin finished speaking, Lu Qingshan looked at the screen in front of him.

2000 billion Chaos Yuan is beyond what an ordinary King-level Immortal can afford. I wonder if anyone will make an offer.

However, his worries were clearly unnecessary.

In the blink of an eye, the price in front of them changed several times. Although the competition was not as fierce as before, it was clear that quite a few people were still interested.

After all, this high-level auction also has many Venerables and invincible Kings participating. The private rooms on the second floor are almost full, and it's impossible for them all to be like Lu Qingshan.

If the Cosmic Venerable One wants to give his favorite descendant a chance to become an immortal god, a few hundred billion Chaos Yuan is nothing at all.

"2600 billion mixed units!"

"2700 million!"

"2800..."

Prices continued to climb, quickly breaking through the 3000 billion mark, and finally settling at 3100 billion.

These top experts bid in increments of hundreds of billions, as if the money weren't their own.

The items that followed in the auction were even more outrageous.

The auction for that barrel of Purple Fire Ape Wine ended with a staggering 1.6 trillion Chaos Yuan, which made Lu Qingshan somewhat tempted, wondering if he should raise a few Purple Fire Apes to brew wine and make money in the future.

What is a money tree? This is the real money tree.

The Hurricane Purple Light auction, however, was met with a lukewarm reception, with only three bidders, and the item was eventually sold for roughly the reserve price.

After all, the price is too outrageous, almost comparable to the most ordinary treasure... The cost of using it once can bankrupt an ordinary King-level Immortal. Ordinary people really can't afford it. For a Universe Venerable, it's just a useless thing.

After the last item was sold, the high-level auction ended. Lu Qingshan left without buying any items, carrying over 300 billion Hunyuan units after deducting transaction fees.
