Demon Dragon Mad God

It's not that others couldn't outbid Lin Feng, but that the price had far exceeded the Dark Star Armor's value, so naturally, others gave up.

Lin Feng, however, was relentless, bidding on any item he set his sights on until he won it.

Having paid 280,000 Middle Grade Spirit Stones, Lin Feng was left with just about 100,000 Middle Grade Spirit Stones.

The auction continued, from morning until evening, with hundreds of items going under the hammer.

Apart from the Red Fire Divine Wings and the Dark Star Armor, Lin Feng did not bid on any other items. Firstly, he had around 100,000 spirit stones left, and secondly, no other items caught his heart.

Soon, the auction was drawing to a close.

On the auction stage, Ming Yu's face was brimming with a smile as she announced loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, the auction has come to this point and is about to end. We shall now bid for the finale treasure of this auction."

As Ming Yu spoke, a beautiful maid walked onto the stage with a tray more than three feet long, covered with a golden yellow silk cloth, the contents of which were unknown.

At this moment, the entire auction hall became incredibly silent, with everyone holding their breath and fixating their gaze on that tray.

Even many of the Martial Kings who had not been participating in the auction became excited; before the auction began, the Hundred Treasure Pavilion had spread the word that a significant treasure would appear.

That so-called significant treasure must be this finale item, and everyone was secretly guessing what it could be.

In the private room, Lin Feng was also quite curious about this last auction item. In any auction, the finale item was bound to be the most precious.

With his Spiritual Sense sweeping out, Lin Feng discovered that the golden yellow silk cloth covering the tray could actually resist the exploration of the Spiritual Sense. Shaking his head helplessly, he withdrew his Spiritual Sense.

At this moment, Ming Yu took the tray from the maid's hands, her beautiful eyes sweeping across the room, and with a charming smile on her face, she began to speak.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the treasure of our auction's finale. As for what this treasure is, please allow me to keep you in suspense for a bit longer while I introduce its origin."

After a brief pause, Ming Yu continued: "This treasure was acquired by a powerful individual at an Ancient Relic in the Heavenly Sea Lake region. In other words, this item is from the Ancient Era."

"Such treasures are not only precious now, but their forging methods had already been lost since the Ancient Era, only the far ancient times could produce them, thus they are incredibly valuable!"

Hearing Ming Yu's words, everyone in the auction hall seemed stunned, showing expressions of surprise.

Even Lin Feng was stirred by Ming Yu's words, eagerly wondering what kind of treasure it could truly be—was it indeed so extraordinary?

With a cheerful smile, Ming Yu saw that she had piqued everyone's curiosity. She then proceeded to reveal the finale treasure without further ado.

With that said, Ming Yu raised her hand and slowly lifted the golden yellow silk cloth from the tray.

The treasure beneath the golden yellow silk cloth was suddenly exposed to everyone's view.

Everyone who saw the treasure beneath the golden yellow silk cloth was taken aback, showing expressions of astonishment.

Lin Feng couldn't help but focus his gaze tightly, similarly astonishment evident in his eyes.

"Brother Lin Feng, is... is this a mistake?" Hong Qingxuan's voice rang out beside Lin Feng.

"I'm not sure!" Lin Feng shook his head.

Underneath the golden yellow silk cloth revealed by Ming Yu was a sword resting quietly on the tray—a simple, unadorned silver-white longsword without any gleam.

The sword appeared extremely ordinary, without any overpowering presence, nor any sharpness. It was clearly a very ordinary longsword.

Being ordinary was one thing, but most importantly, it was a broken sword, with only the blade and no hilt, and in total, it was only a foot and a half long.

After a few breaths of silence, the auction hall suddenly erupted into an uproar.

"What is this nonsense? Why is it a broken sword?"

"It's just a plain broken sword, devoid of any Sword Power, not even a hint of sharpness!"

"Is this some kind of mistake?"

"Ming Yu, how could your Hundred Treasure Pavilion use such a piece of trash to fool us?"

"Exactly, you call this an ancient treasure? Even if it's from ancient times, it's nothing but a piece of scrap metal now!"

The entire auction hall was in a frenzy as many of the previously expectant powerhouses, greatly disappointed, even began to shout angrily.

In the private room, Lin Feng carefully scrutinized the broken sword, even using his Spiritual Sense to thoroughly investigate it. The investigation confirmed that it was indeed a worthless sword.

Lin Feng's eyes showed confusion. As the largest trading house in the Heavenly Sea Lake region, the Hundred Treasure Pavilion wouldn't possibly deceive people, would they?

And even if they were to deceive people, they wouldn't use such an obviously worthless broken sword!

On the auction stage, Ming Yu smiled faintly. She had anticipated the crowd's reaction, so she was not surprised.

With a gentle wave of her hand signaling for silence, Ming Yu's laughed softly and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, my Hundred Treasure Pavilion has been operating in the Heavenly Sea Lake region for a thousand years. When have we ever deceived anyone? Please calm down and allow me to explain in detail."

The noisy auction hall gradually quieted down following Ming Yu's words, with everyone silently waiting for her explanation.

The crowd did not believe that the Hundred Treasure Pavilion would deceive them; after all, such a tactic was too clumsy, so evident that even a fool could see through it.
