Chapter 449: Auction Begins!
Knock. Knock. Knock.
A day later, Lu Sulan heard a knock on her door. She stopped cultivating and stood up as she said. "Come inside."
"Senior Sister." Can Ye greeted Lu Sulan.
"What did you discover about that demon?" Lu Sulan asked while looking at her junior disciple. She saw that his expression had suddenly turned serious.
"Senior Sister, that guy was the one who offered the chimera and the undead army to the Torgrim Family and the Lycan Family. I heard it from the mouth of an Elder from the Torgrim Family. He told me that their leader, Stormhoof Torgrim, visited the Necromancer Emperor to get his help. I also heard that this old man was already at the late stage of the Void G.o.d Realm fifty thousand years ago! It seems like this guy is quite difficult to handle..." Can Ye frowned as he reported his findings. He had to go back to the Great Demon Empire just to get this information. Can Ye felt that the auction this time would be dangerous if they acted impulsively.
Lu Sulan furrowed her eyebrows as she processed Can Ye"s information. She finally realized why the Demon Empress was wary of this Necromancer Emperor. However, Lu Sulan was confident in Hestia"s strength!
"It doesn"t matter. We must get that piece of land! I promised the master that I can accomplish this. I wouldn"t have a face to show if we fail! I don"t think he"s brave enough to provoke our Heavenly Sword Tower!" Lu Sulan muttered with a dark look on her face. She wouldn"t allow anyone to take that piece of land from her!
Looking at his Senior Sister"s determined expression, Can Ye said in a serious tone. "Don"t worry, Senior Sister. Even if that guy is strong, Elder Hestia is with us. With my current cultivation, I"m confident that I can battle evenly with a late stage Void G.o.d Realm!"
Lu Sulan nodded her head and patted Can Ye"s shoulder. "I know. Get Sister Hestia. The auction will begin this afternoon."
"Alright."
***
Narda Auction House.
Lu Sulan, Hestia, and Can Ye were led towards a VIP room.
"Demon Empress Ganda is treating us well." Can Ye muttered with a smile as he looked at the gorgeous maid that brought them here.
"There are only ten VIP rooms in this auction house. We took one and the other nine are already occupied. The people inside those VIP rooms might have come from major powers, so we have to be careful not to provoke them needlessly." Lu Sulan reminded in a calm voice. She then turned her gaze towards the gorgeous servant and said with a smile. "You can go back. Please thank the Demon Empress for us. We appreciate her hospitality."
The servant nodded her and bowed professionally. "I"ll send your message to Her Majesty. Enjoy the auction." She then left their VIP after that.
Not long later, Lou Baiqing walked towards the stage and greeted everyone. "Good afternoon, everyone! We have seventy-six auctioned items waiting for you guys! Everyone knows about the rebellion that happened in the Great Demon Empire, right? Our Narda Princ.i.p.ality was lucky enough to join hands with the Bloodfallen Family and the Heavenly Sword Tower to stop the rebellion. After the battle, our Narda Princ.i.p.ality earned quite a lot of high level resources! Now, you will all have the chance to acquire these items! I won"t make this introduction long anymore! Let me show you the first item! Bring it here!"
Two servants pushed a trolley that had a mystery box on top of it. They then lifted the cloth that covered the box and everyone saw a piece of armor.
"This armor was taken from an Elder of the Torgrim Family. It wasn"t in its best condition when our team discovered this armor, but our best blacksmiths were able to repair it to its peak condition! Our appraiser has already appraised this armor as a Nascent-rank item! The initial price for this armor is two hundred thousand Blood Stones! Everyone"s bid increment must be at least ten thousand Blood Stones!"
"Two hundred and ten thousand Blood Stones!"
"Two hundred and twenty thousand Blood Stones!"
"Two hundred and thirty thousand Blood Stones!"
The armor was quite appealing to Nascent G.o.d Realm experts, but no one from the VIP rooms made any bid for this.
The armor was bought by a solitary Nascent G.o.d Realm expert for three hundred and seventy Blood Stones!
"The next item is ten bottles of Frozen Blood. To those who don"t know about this item. It is a type of special poison that was concocted by the poison masters of Poison Valley. Each of these bottles can kill Nascent G.o.d Realm experts within a month if left untreated! However, the most effective use for this poison is to hunt savage beasts! If this poison is draped over a weapon and is used to injure a savage beast, they would be in a weakened state!" Lou Baiqing could already sense the murderous gazes sent by savage beasts experts among the guests, but he ignored them. Business is business. He couldn"t do anything about it...
"Is it sold by bottle or in batches?" Someone from the crowd asked.
Lou Baiqing smiled and replied. "One bottle of Frozen Blood is worth eighty thousand Blood Stones! Everyone"s bid must be at least five thousand Blood Stones higher!"
This poison was very useful for hunters and mercenaries. They were the ones who began bidding for the bottles of Frozen Blood.
In the end, each bottle of Frozen Blood was sold for at least one hundred ten thousand Blood Stones. There was even one bottle that was sold for one hundred and thirty thousand Blood Stones!
The people inside the VIP rooms calmly observed the bidding for the first few items, but nothing seemed to interest them. However, when Lou Baiqing showed the eleventh item, some of them finally took notice.
"For the eleventh item, an Origin-rank dagger from an Elder of the Lycan Family. The initial price is one million Blood Stones and each increment must be at least fifty thousand Blood Stones!"
