Chapter 538: Chapter 289: Auction, Return Empty-Handed
After dealing with various miscellaneous items, Lu Yun now has more than four million spirit crystals on him.
Together with what he had before, he now has more than six million spirit crystals.
“It should be enough for me to complete the refinement of the Imperishable Golden Bones, I suppose.” Lu Yun thought to himself as he took the spirit crystals.
“Young Master Lu, our small auction at the Purple Gold Auction House is in progress, with many treasures up for auction. Would you like to grace us with your presence?”
Manager Tang said as he took out a purple-gold token and handed it to Lu Yun: “With this Purple Gold Token, you can enter the auction directly and have a dedicated private room.”
The Purple Gold Token was a symbol of status and wealth, issued by the Purple Gold Chamber of Commerce to the various aristocratic families and prominent figures of Morigin.
Lu Yun, with millions of spirit crystals on him, and the ability to take out so many rare treasures and treasure artifacts at once, naturally, became a potential stock in Manager Tang’s eyes.
As for the Purple Gold Token, Lu Yun didn’t refuse, taking it and fiddling with it: “I already have treasure weapons, pills, and martial arts. What treasures in the auction can attract me?”
“Young Master may not know that our Purple Gold Chamber of Commerce spans across Morigin, collecting countless rare treasures. And those that can be auctioned are all the finest of the finest.”
Manager Tang hinted meaningfully: “To give Young Master a little inside information, there’s one final item in this auction: a Nine Revolutions Golden Core Pill.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Yun was slightly surprised.
He knew of the Nine Revolutions Golden Core Pill, a famous pill that could help people break through the Golden Core bottleneck.
This pill had nine grades, from one to nine revolutions.
A First Revolution Golden Core Pill could increase the probability of a Rune Seed Realm peak cultivator’s chances of condensing a Golden Core by 10%.
A Second Revolution Golden Core Pill could increase this probability by 20%.
A Nine Revolutions Golden Core Pill could increase the probability by 90%.
In other words, a Nine Revolutions Golden Core Pill was enough to allow a Rune Seed Realm peak cultivator to condense a Golden Core without any danger.
Even in the Imperial City of Central Province, Golden Core Realm cultivators count as top-notch experts.
And the Nine Revolutions Golden Core Pill, which could almost guarantee a 100% promotion to the Golden Core Realm, had a terrifying attraction to many Rune Seed Realm cultivators.
Manager Tang couldn’t tell how strong Lu Yun was, but he had an inkling that it couldn’t be weaker than himself, and thought that Lu Yun, who should also be at the Rune Seed Realm, would be tempted by this Nine Revolutions Golden Core Pill.
“The Nine Revolutions Golden Core Pill may be precious, but it doesn’t serve much purpose for me,” Lu Yun shook his head slightly.
He had almost no martial arts bottlenecks, and the breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm was just a matter of time.
In the eyes of others, the heaven-defying Nine Revolutions Golden Core Pill meant no more to Lu Yun than an ordinary Eighth Grade pill.
“I don’t need the Nine Revolutions Golden Core Pill. However, I am more interested in the other final items. Can Manager Tang reveal them in advance?”. Lu Yun lightly sipped his spirit tea and smiled at Manager Tang.
“This…” Manager Tang hesitated slightly.
Obviously, he was not free to reveal the final items of the auction.
“Manager Tang does not need to be troubled. Since it cannot be revealed, I will take my leave first.”
With that said, Lu Yun stood up and prepared to leave.
“Young Master Lu, please wait a moment.”
Manager Tang immediately stopped Lu Yun and smiled: “This is just a small auction. Some of the final items aren’t much of a secret to some people.”
After dismissing the servants, he told Lu Yun about all the final items.
It turned out that there were five final items in this auction.
The first was a mid-level Treasure Artifact.
The second was a Seventh Rank peak spirit beast.
The third was the heaven and earth treasure, the Purple Rhyme Dragon Emperor’s Gingseng, an extremely precious item for prolonging life, capable of extending one’s lifespan by one sixty-year-cycle.
The fourth was an inheritance of divine abilities, consigned by a Celestial Human powerhouse.
As for the Nine Revolutions Golden Core Pill, it was the last of the final items.
“Inheritance of Divine Powers?” After a moment of contemplation, Lu Yun immediately decided to participate in the auction.
He currently had only two divine abilities: Heaven and Earth Draw Saber Slash and God-Devouring Demon-Slaying Saber – his means against enemies were rather simplistic.
It would be great if he could add a few more divine abilities.
Under Manager Tang’s arrangements, Lu Yun, along with Xie Yushi, entered a private room.
The auction had been going on for some time, and an elderly Rune Seed Realm peak cultivator was introducing the items for auction on the stage.
Below, there were some disciples of wealthy families and some strong individuals with remarkable backgrounds gathered.
As for the upper floor private rooms, a faint glow enveloped them, making it impossible to see the situation inside or to inspect with spiritual power.
In one private room, a young man in a red-gold robe sat with an air of nobility, tended to by two young women behind him.
At that moment, he was listlessly watching the auction items on stage.
The young man said blandly: “Chunxiang, how much longer until the final items are auctioned off?”
“Your Highness, the auction has only been going on for four hours, and it will be some time before the final items are auctioned.”
This woman named Chunxiang had extremely fair skin and an alluring appearance, with the aura of the Rune Seed Realm coming from her body.
The other woman was ice-clear and untainted, also with the cultivation base of the Rune Seed Realm.
“In that case, I’ll rest for a while. When the final items are ready for auction, you can wake me up.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
