Martial Universe: Invincible through lottery, with godlike comprehension from the start.

"This is a sea chart obtained from the sea monster clan. The sea area depicted is not a known one. It should belong to an unknown sea area. The auction price is 800,000 Xuan Yuan Pills."

Unknown sea charts like these are generally considered niche auction items, so they aren't usually too expensive. 800,000 Xuan Yuan Pills is already quite pricey.

After a bidding war, Lin Dong won the bid for 1.8 million Xuan Yuan Pills.

Although Lin Fan knew that once the auction's grand finale was acquired, the sea chart would likely be of little use, he did not stop Lin Dong from buying it.

Who knows when I might need it? Anyway, it's not expensive.

After the nautical chart auction concluded, the three continued to monitor the auction's progress.

It must be said that the auction hosted by the Shangge Pavilion was indeed quite good. The auction items were all-encompassing, including martial arts techniques, spiritual treasures, and spiritual materials.

Then, at a certain moment, a crystal coffin was placed on the auction stage by the people of Tian Shang Pavilion.

Inside the crystal coffin was a completely black, desiccated corpse.

When Lin Fan saw the corpse, his eyes lit up slightly.

At this auction, apart from the final, most valuable item, this corpse was undoubtedly the most valuable.

Because this corpse is one of the Devouring Heavenly Corpses that the Devouring Lord created back then!

Beside Lin Fan, Lin Dong stared at the completely black corpse and suddenly felt the Devouring Ancestral Symbol within his body vibrate violently.

The spirit of the ancestral stone, Yan's somewhat astonished voice, also echoed in his mind, "This is... the Devouring Heavenly Corpse?"

"Devouring Heavenly Corpse? What is that?" Lin Dong was taken aback when he heard Yan's voice, and then asked in his mind.

Then, Yan described the situation of the Devouring Heavenly Corpse to Lin Dong in his mind.

After exchanging a few thoughts with Yan in his mind, Lin Dong lowered his voice and said to Lin Fan beside him, "Brother Lin Fan, we must take a picture of this!"

"Hehe, don't worry, I know," Lin Fan said with a slight smile.

At this moment, on the auction stage, Tang Dongling pointed her slender, jade-like finger at the black, mummified corpse in the crystal coffin and smiled sweetly.

"It is said that this was taken out of the deep sea, but I may not be able to give you a very detailed answer as to what it is."

"However, I can only tell you that this mummified corpse does not seem to be ordinary, because the Heavenly Merchant Pavilion once had a Death Profound Realm expert who attacked it with all his might, but ultimately could not destroy it."

"Whoosh!"

As Tang Dongling's voice fell, a commotion erupted in the arena, with many people staring in astonishment at the seemingly ordinary black mummified corpse.

This thing can actually withstand the full force of an attack from a Death Profound Realm expert?

"Miss Tang, is this a puppet?"

In the front row of the auction hall, a man dressed in a black robe suddenly spoke in a low voice.

"That guy is Chen Ying from the Illusion Demon Sect. It seems he's quite interested in this mummified corpse..."

As he spoke, many people behind him recognized him and couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

"It could be classified as a puppet, but..." Tang Dongling hesitated slightly before finally saying,

"This thing may require a special method of control; otherwise, it seems difficult to activate."

"Unable to activate?"

Upon hearing this, many people in the room were stunned, and then shook their heads in disappointment.

What's the point of buying something you can't control? Are you going to use it as a shield?

"Let's begin the auction now. The starting price is five million Xuan Yuan Pills," Tang Dongling said with a slight smile, ignoring the changing thoughts of the crowd.

Upon hearing Tang Dongling's words, many people felt that it was too expensive and had no intention of bidding.

After a long while, the first bidder finally made an offer: "Five million one hundred thousand."

After him, several more bidders joined the bidding, but the increases were not significant.

The highest bidder was Chen Ying from the Illusion Demon Sect, who offered 6.5 million.

After Chen Ying made her bid, no one else raised the price.

Upon seeing this, Lin Fan smiled faintly and said, "Six million six hundred thousand."

Seeing Lin Fan bid, many people looked over with curiosity. Tang Dongling's eyes also flickered slightly, not understanding why Lin Fan would bid for the black mummified corpse.

"Seven million!" Chen Ying glanced at Lin Fan and frowned.

"Seven million one hundred thousand!"

Lin Fan remained calm and continued to raise the price.

"Seven million five hundred thousand!"

"Eight million!"

When Lin Fan raised the price to eight million, Chen Ying hesitated for a moment, but ultimately gave up.

Nine million.

Just when everyone thought the matter was settled, Xie Yan from the Evil Wind Cave suddenly raised the price.

"Ten million. If you keep raising the price, I'll let you have it," Lin Fan said calmly, glancing at Xie Yan.

Upon hearing Lin Fan's words, Xie Yan frowned slightly, looking somewhat hesitant.

He didn't actually know what the black mummified corpse was for; he just wanted to annoy Lin Fan and deliberately inflate the price.

If he continues to bid and Lin Fan really stops bidding, wouldn't he be stuck with the loss?

His target this time was the grand finale item. If he spent over ten million, he might not be able to get his hands on it.

Seeing Xie Yan's ever-changing expression, Lin Fan sneered, "If you're going to raise the price, hurry up and do it. Don't dawdle and waste everyone's time."

The people in the auction hall could see the discord between Lin Fan and Xie Yan, and they all looked at Xie Yan with amusement.

Xie Yan's expression shifted between light and dark. He had originally intended to annoy Lin Fan, but now he found himself in a difficult situation.

"Young Master, the important matter is paramount," the old man in black beside Xie Yan said in a low voice, seeing Xie Yan's changing expression and worried that he might continue bidding impulsively.

Xie Yan took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes, clearly indicating that he did not intend to raise the price.

On the auction stage, Tang Dongling's expression flickered, and she smiled and said, "If no one continues to bid, this puppet corpse will belong to Young Master Lin Fan."

Upon hearing Tang Dongling's words, many people in the room looked in Xie Yan's direction, but Xie Yan did not respond.

Finally, the auction of the mummified puppet corpse came to a conclusion.

"Young Master of Evil Wind Cave, is that all?" Lin Fan shook his head slightly and chuckled.

Xie Yan's face turned ashen, but he stubbornly retorted, "Spending ten million Profound Yuan Pills to buy a useless dried corpse? Do you think everyone is as stupid as you?"

"Who said it's useless? Soon, you'll see its power," Lin Fan said with a mysterious smile.

Inside the auction hall, the crowd erupted in an uproar upon hearing Lin Fan's words.

Even Tang Dongling on the auction stage was filled with surprise and uncertainty.

Could it be that he really has a way to activate this puppet corpse?

Tang Dongling's mind raced, but it didn't affect her ability to continue the auction.

Under Tang Dongling's direction, the atmosphere at the auction gradually rose as the auction items became increasingly rare.

Especially when a low-grade pure Yuan treasure appeared, many people in the auction hall had a burning desire in their eyes.

This treasure of pure origin is a dark red longbow called the Heavenly Phoenix Shattering Sky Bow, with a starting bid of ten million.

After a bidding war, Lin Fan won the bid for it for 25 million.

The value of the Xuan Yuan Pill can only be realized when it is spent.

Moreover, he is not far from breaking through to the Death Profound Realm, and the Profound Origin Pill will be of little use by then.

"Next up is our ultimate prize for this auction!"

As the previous excitement gradually subsided, a charming smile appeared on Tang Dongling's face on the auction stage.

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the entire auction hall froze.

Especially those powerful figures sitting in the front row seemed to have quietly straightened their backs.

"The next thing concerns a cave dwelling that is said to have been inherited by a Reincarnation Realm expert. I think everyone should understand its value."

As soon as Tang Dongling finished speaking, the atmosphere in the auction room exploded.

A deafening chorus of exclamations spread like a tsunami, and many people suddenly stood up, their eyes filled with a hint of madness.

Chapter 341 The auction is over, the real show is about to begin! [Please continue reading]

Tang Dongling seemed completely unsurprised by the heated atmosphere. With a clench of her jade hand, silver light flashed, and finally, a silver tower about a foot in size appeared.

As soon as this silver tower appeared, an ancient and particularly violent wave swept out.

Faintly, it seemed as if thunder was also being heard!

Lin Dong's gaze immediately fell on the silver pagoda in Tang Dongling's hand. In the next instant, he suddenly felt the Devouring Ancestral Symbol within his body vibrate wildly.

At the same time, he also sensed a very peculiar fluctuation from the silver tower, a fluctuation that was exactly the same as that of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol!

"That is……"

Lin Dong's pupils suddenly contracted, and even his voice became dry. His body, which was sitting in the chair, trembled slightly.

“It’s… the fluctuation of the Thunder Ancestral Symbol,” Yan murmured, his voice echoing in Lin Dong’s heart.

"Don't worry, if it's ours, it won't run away," Lin Fan said, not at all surprised. Seeing Lin Dong's expression, he reached out and patted Lin Dong's shoulder, speaking softly.

At the same time, the system's familiar voice rang out in Lin Fan's mind once again.

[Ding! You touched Lin Dong and obtained one Spirit Treasure Advancement Talisman! Note: Can be used on spirit treasures below the Heavenly Rank.]

A Spirit Treasure Advancement Talisman, not bad.

Lin Fan had obtained one of these before, and had already upgraded the Heavenly Rank Spirit Treasure, the Exquisite Jade Flute, into a Pure Yuan Treasure.

Unexpectedly, I received another one this time.

With a slight thought, Lin Fan directly used the Spirit Treasure Advancement Talisman on another Heaven-Rank Spirit Treasure, the Xuanwu Heaven-Suppressing Bell.

Within the system space, the Xuanwu Heaven-Suppressing Bell underwent some invisible change.
