Apocalypse: The Primordial Pearl Recognizes Its Master, Starting with Infinite Space

The auction continued, with items being sold one by one.

However, Lin Chen never made a move, not because he didn't want to, but because the prices of the items kept getting higher and higher.

The Boundless Divine Liquid was the grand finale item, and he was worried that he didn't have enough Source Crystals.

Lianyi then took out a wooden box and retrieved a jade slip from it: "This jade slip records a method for cultivating spiritual plants. According to our guild's appraisal, this is a very ancient cultivation technique, but the writing is not in the commonly used script, so its specific value is unknown. Starting bid: 20,000 mid-grade."

After she made her offer, there was no immediate bidding from the audience; instead, a murmur arose.

"Value unknown? They dare to start the bidding at 20,000 without even knowing how to read?" someone complained.

Another person chimed in, "What do you know? These ancient books have research value in themselves. The cultivation techniques for spiritual plants are even more valuable; you won't lose 20,000."

"Then why don't you buy it?"

"I don't know anything about spiritual plants, so buying them would be a waste."

"That can't be right. I remember you're the third disciple of the Spirit Medicine Sect, right? You wouldn't know how to cultivate spirit plants?"

The man immediately fell silent...

Lin Chen's gaze fell on the wooden box in Lianyi's hand, lost in thought.

He recognized the writing on the wooden box; in fact, he had seen it before. It was the script of the Elves.

The Elven Mother Tree said that she learned this script from her master and then passed it on to the Elven race, which is why he could recognize it at a glance.

"Twenty thousand." Lin Chen pressed the quotation button.

Fang Yao looked up at him in surprise: "Master, do you recognize those characters?"

Lin Chen shook his head: "I don't know him." He paused, then added: "But I have a friend who does."

Fang Yao didn't press further and nodded.

Soon, the jade slip was sold at the reserve price, and Xiao Li personally delivered it to the private room: "Mr. Lin, my young lady said that this jade slip is a gift for you as a token of our meeting."

Lin Chen paused for a moment before smiling and saying, "Then I won't stand on ceremony. Please thank your young lady for me."

Xiao Li smiled faintly, turned around and left the private room.

Lianyi didn't linger. This time, she took out the Life Spirit Crystal that Lin Chen had consigned for auction: "The next item is one of the key items in this auction - a Life Spirit Crystal obtained through the Luofu Chamber of Commerce's own channels."

After taking it, it can raise the user's talent to at least S level with 100% success rate, and it does not conflict with the Cleansing Elixir. It is also effective for people who have taken the Cleansing Elixir before.

There are 99 stones in total, divided into groups of 10, and will be auctioned in 10 rounds.

As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd erupted in chatter.

Lianyi didn't interrupt, waiting for the commotion to subside before continuing, "First group, ten pieces, starting bid one million for mid-grade."

No one immediately made a bid.

Suddenly, the glass window of VIP room number one rolled up, and an elderly man appeared at the window.

"It's Elder Li Qingfeng of the Li family!" someone exclaimed.

Li Qingfeng bowed slightly to Lianyi, and Lianyi returned the bow.

Li Qingfeng then spoke up: "Second Miss, I've never seen such a treasure before. Is its efficacy truly guaranteed?"

This is exactly the issue that everyone is most concerned about.

Lianyi smiled slightly: "Of course it's guaranteed. We've already tested it."

Li Qingfeng's expression shifted slightly: "Would it be convenient to explain the specifics?"

Lianyi knew that these people wouldn't easily part with their money without concrete evidence.

She gestured to Xiao Luo beside her, who understood and quickly called Fang Yao out of Lin Chen's private room.

When Fang Yao stood on the auction stage, all eyes were on her.

Lianyi spoke slowly and deliberately: "You all should know Miss Fang Yao, right?"

Everyone nodded: "Of course we know her. She's one of the Ten Beauties of the Chaotic Domain, and the direct granddaughter of the Second Elder of the Fang family."

Lianyi's smile became even more alluring: "As you all know, her previous talent was S-level, right?"

Everyone nodded again, and Li Qingfeng also nodded. As one of the top ten forces, he had met Fang Yao before.

Lianyi remained calm and unhurried: "Just three days ago, Little Yao consumed a Life Crystal. In less than a quarter of an hour, her talent level rose from S-rank to SS-rank without any discomfort."

A thunderous roar erupted from the audience. "How is this possible?!"

Some people stood up immediately.

Fang Yao didn't waste any words. She suddenly unleashed her aura, and the aura of an SS-level talent swept across the entire area.

There was a moment of silence from the audience, then a chorus of voices erupted: "It really is SS-rank!"

"That's right, even an eleventh-tier S-rank person can't unleash this kind of aura."

Li Qingfeng stroked his beard, his eyes darting around.

Before they came, the clan leader gave a strict order: if the information about the spirit crystals was true, they should take as many as possible, regardless of the cost.

A potential SS-level talent is equivalent to the possibility of becoming a future 12th-tier powerhouse; anyone can do the math.

Someone in the audience had already eagerly raised a sign: "One and a half million!"

"Two million!" someone shouted, quickly raising the price and yelling at the others, "Even something like the Cleansing Elixir, with only a 20% success rate, can fetch 500,000 a bottle! How can something with a 100% guarantee of improvement only cost this little!"

Li Qingfeng immediately offered: "Two million!"

The crowd immediately turned to look at him. Li Qingfeng clasped his hands in a fist salute and looked at the crowd: "I hope everyone will give the Li family some face. The Li family will surely repay you handsomely in the future."

"The Li family's face? How much is the Li family's face worth?" A haughty voice suddenly rang out, and then the window of private room number four was raised, revealing Zhang Wenyuan to everyone.

He glanced at Li Qingfeng and immediately quoted a price: "Three million!"

"Hehe, Young Master Zhang is right. How could we possibly give up such a treasure just because of face?" A charming voice rang out, as clear as a spring in everyone's ears. "I'll offer five million."

This bid was more aggressive than anyone else's.

"It's Han Miaoke, the Holy Maiden of the Xuan Yin Sect," someone whispered.

"This is getting interesting; all ten major powers have mobilized."

"Yes, this is bound to be a fierce battle."

"That's right, let's just watch the show. We small forces probably have no chance with treasures like this."

Li Qingfeng glanced at the young people and frowned: "Six million."

He dared not underestimate these young people; their strength was in no way inferior to his.

"Seven million." Zhang Wenyuan made another bid, then glanced at the other private rooms. "Stop watching. Scarcity drives up prices. This stuff gets more expensive as it goes on. Do you really expect the price to drop later?"

Immediately, all the glass windows in all the private rooms except for room number ten were raised.

The tall, burly man in VIP room number two immediately quoted a price: "Ten million."

"Is this Fu Ming, the young sect master of the Li Huo Sect?"

"Yes, it's him."

"They raised the price by three million right off the bat; they really are rolling in money."

"It is said that the Li Huo Sect recently acquired a source crystal mine and is currently not short of money."

"Look, the other ten major powers are all here too."

Ignoring the commotion and discussions below, Lin Chen in the private room was already somewhat bewildered. Were Life Crystals really that popular?

The importance of talent to these cultivators is self-evident, but there are very few ways to improve talent.

Otherwise, how could Cangming have stolen his master's Boundary-Breaking Pearl back then and risked going to the Blue Star Domain?

If these people all have disciples who have taken Life Crystals, then what secrets do these sects still have against him?

Thinking of these beautiful paintings, he felt a little elated.
