Chapter 508 Dark Star Armor
Last time in the Heavenly Vault Divine Realm, Lin Feng killed so many talents but didn't manage to get a single Level Five Weapon, which were mostly Level Four Weapons. However, he did obtain some Level Five Body Movement Martial Skills, which could be sold for a good price.
When he was at the Heaven and Sea Pavilion in Sky Moon Country, Lin Feng's possessions were almost entirely gone, except for a few Level Four treasure swords and over a dozen precious Level Five Martial Arts.
"I wonder how much this Level Five Weapon will go for at the auction?" Lin Feng started to look forward with anticipation, pondering whether to sell all the Level Five Martial Arts he possessed.
Level Six King Level Martial Arts were something Lin Feng intended to use himself, and he wouldn't want to sell them unless absolutely necessary. It was the Level Five Martial Arts he considered could all be sold to temporarily alleviate his current financial embarrassment.
As Lin Feng was lost in thought, the bidding outside had already started.
"Thirty-five thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones!"
"Forty thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones!"
"Forty-three thousand!"
"Fifty thousand!"
Within a few breaths, the price of the Purple Gold Thunder Axe had risen from thirty thousand to fifty thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones, and the price was still climbing.
Ultimately, a Martial Master Eighth Layer powerhouse spent eighty-six thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones to win the Purple Gold Thunder Axe.
The auction continued with one precious item after another inciting vigorous bidding, making the whole auction house intensely lively.
During the early part of the auction, there were no items worth Lin Feng's attention, so he hadn't taken part in the bidding.
Neither Hong Qingxuan nor Huang Yao participated in the bidding, either. Normally staying in the Heavenly Spirit Sect, the Spiritual Treasure Hall there had all sorts of treasures, so the two were accustomed to various rare and exotic treasures and hadn't seen anything that moved them at the auction yet.
"Brother Lin Feng, is there anything specific you wish to bid for?" Hong Qingxuan turned her head to Lin Feng.
Upon hearing Hong Qingxuan's question, Lin Feng pondered briefly and replied, "Right now, I lack nothing but a powerful movement technique. I wonder if there will be any at this auction."
Indeed, Lin Feng lacked for nothing as all of his Martial Arts were of King Level, it was only his movement technique that was a mere Level Four, which was significantly inferior.
"This auction is of significant scale; surely there will be powerful movement techniques available," said Hong Qingxuan.
While they were talking, another auction item was being concluded on the stage outside.
After that, a beautiful Maid stepped onto the auction stage, holding a jade box two feet in length and width.
Ming Yu took over the jade box, swept her gaze around the room, and with lips slightly parted, she said, "The next auction item is an Exotic Treasure called 'Red Fire Divine Wings.'"
As she spoke, Ming Yu opened the jade box and carefully took out a pair of wings that looked like a miniaturized version of a bird's wings, wholly crimson-colored with flames swirling around them.
The moment the Red Fire Divine Wings appeared, the auction house immediately quieted down, many connoisseurs eyes blazing hot, staring fixedly at the miniaturized reddish wings in Ming Yu's hands.
"The Red Fire Divine Wings, a flying Exotic Treasure of Level Five Middle Grade, allow one to soar the skies like a Divine Bird when controlled with the body's Vigorous Origin, bursting forth with speed comparable to that of a Martial King in the Middle Stage."
"Red Fire Divine Wings?" Inside the private room, Lin Feng saw the reddish wings, his eyes brightened, and his heart stirred greatly.
If they were as Ming Yu described, then it couldn't be more suitable for him!
Such an Exotic Treasure was far more practical than a Martial Technique, saving the time needed for cultivation and directly enabling speed far beyond one's own Cultivation Realm.
Such a treasure was indeed an excellent tool for traveling, killing, and escaping!
"Brother Lin Feng, have you taken a liking to this treasure?" Hong Qingxuan noticed the slight excitement on Lin Feng's face and asked with a restrained smile.
In fact, Hong Qingxuan also fancied the treasure, but since Lin Feng took a liking to it, she naturally wouldn't compete with him.
"Yes, this treasure could indeed compensate for my lack of speed," Lin Feng nodded.
Not only had Lin Feng taken an interest, but the entire auction house was filled with countless others whose hearts were stirred at that moment, their eyes fervently fixed on the Red Fire Divine Wings in Ming Yu's hands.
"What a fine treasure!"
From within the 'Heaven Number Ten' private room, Xue Tianhao's eyes shone brightly as he laughed, "This item I must have!"
On the auction stage, Ming Yu, seeing that ninety percent of the people were heatedly watching, laughed sweetly and said, "As the Refining Method for this class of flying Exotic Treasure has been lost and only existed in Ancient Times, it is extremely precious. The starting bid for this treasure is three hundred thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones, with each increment being no less than ten thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones. Let the bidding begin now."
Hiss!
As soon as Ming Yu finished speaking, the sound of sharp intakes of breath rose and ebbed throughout the auction house.
Just this starting price eliminated ninety percent of the people from the bidding.
"That expensive?" Lin Feng also furrowed his brows, the starting bid of three hundred thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones was far beyond his expectation.
The Spirit Stones he had were definitely insufficient for bidding on the treasure. He would have to offset the cost with other items to bid for this treasure.
However, generally speaking, the prices auction houses assigned to offset items were slightly below market price.
After all, those who chose to offset with other items did so because they lacked sufficient Spirit Stones; even if the auction house offered a lower price, they had no other choice.
After pondering, Lin Feng decided he would have to offset with Martial Arts Secret Books. No matter what, he was determined to get his hands on this treasure.
With this treasure enhancing his speed, he could greatly compensate for his weakness without needing to cultivate a high-level movement technique for the time being. Of course, if time allowed, it would still be better to cultivate a high-level movement technique, as true skill was ultimately more desirable, and such external aids could not fully replace it.
