1056: Chapter 1003: The Mysterious Treasure Box Appears Again!
With the auctioneer’s shriek, the last three treasures were invited onto the stage.
All three were concealed by mysterious brocade covers, preventing onlookers from imdiately discerning what treasures they were.
Moreover, since everyone was separated by a virtual light screen, they could not use their Immortal Sense to investigate.
“The first treasure is a mysterious box from the Ancient Battlefield Ruins, guarded by very powerful Divine Runes.
Our people from Minghuang Palace did not open it imdiately, so what exactly is inside, we are also not clear.
However, the fact that such powerful Divine Runes are used to protect whatever is inside the box, naturally indicates that the box is not simple…”
On the screen, the stunningly beautiful auctioneer paused for a mont, allowing everyone to digest the information she had shared, then continued, “Moreover, even if one cannot obtain the item inside the box, just understanding those Divine Runes on the box itself would be an absolute, infinite gain.
Those who are interested in this box, please place your bids quickly.
The starting price for this treasure is 30,000 top-grade immortal stones…”
30,000 top-grade immortal stones might be the lowest starting price among the closing highlights of the auction.
But this item could definitely spark a frenzy among the interested.
Once soone starts bidding, it is very likely to draw a crazily high bid.
“Eh, there’s actually such a box?”
In the box, Lv Zhong, who had been sowhat drowsy, was also startled and widened his eyes.
“Husband, what’s wrong?” Mu Cangqiong didn’t understand why Lv Zhong had such a big reaction.
Ao Ye, Leng i, Zheng Linglong, Yan Yan, Xu Xinyan, and Yun Shuiyao, the six won, were also startled by Lv Zhong’s reaction and looked towards him in confusion.
“I also acquired a box like this last ti.
These boxes are very special; I have been studying the strange symbols on it.
Now, I have seen such mysterious symbols three tis,” Lv Zhong explained without turning his head, his gaze sharp and focused on the virtual light screen.
This box was sowhat different from the one that Gao Xiaolan, the fairy from the [Ten Complete dical Pavilion], had sold.
Hers was jet black, while this one was golden and seed more luxurious.
However, aside from the different color or possibly different material, there weren’t many other disparities.
The sa weird symbol protections, the sa ability to seal off all auras from inside the box.
Isolating any probes of soul or Primordial Spirit Power from all immortals, demons, devils, Buddhas, and similar powerful beings.
Similarly, the symbols on this box also seed to contain a hint of the Great Path’s essence.
Not simple!
Extrely not simple!
This box, along with the one in Lv Zhong’s possession and a tal naplate neither gold nor jade, all seed to hail from the sa civilization.
They might even originate from the sa power!
The box sold by Gao Xiaolan cost Lv Zhong 5 million top-grade immortal stones.
While the other tal naplate was bundled in a purchase from a Fox Immortal.
The total price for all the items was no more than 5,000 top-grade immortal stones.
Yet, Lv Zhong knew if he wanted to win this golden box, he couldn’t do it without 3 million top-grade immortal stones.
“100,000 top-grade immortal stones…”
Indeed, there weren’t a few who knew the goods at the Minghuang Palace venue.
No sooner had the auctioneer finished speaking than soone made a bid, directly raising it by 70,000 top-grade immortal stones.
“300,000…” Sure enough, there’s always soone better.
In an instant, another bid was made, this ti raising the price by 200,000.
Seeing how much Lv Zhong wanted to secure the treasure box, Ao Ye decisively bid, “Two million…”
“Hiss…”
At that mont, countless beings watching through the virtual light screen—immortals, demons, buddhas, and devils—all drew a sharp breath in unison.
Boosting the price tenfold in one go was simply too crazy.
Although the inscriptions on this treasure box were extraordinarily remarkable and worth investigating,
nobody really knew what was inside the box.
Bidding two million top-grade immortal stones for such uncertainty, one could end up with sothing worthless or personal letters—what a loss that would be!
For the ti being, many who had initially considered bidding for the treasure box beca unsettled and began to hesitate.
Keep in mind, on the first day at [Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion]’s auction, the group of four bottles of [Heavenly Light Holy Water] that could aid Emperor-level (Quasi-Saint) strong ones in breaking through to the Sage Realm had fetched a price of only 2.8 million on the first set, while the second set, despite a price increase, went for rely 3.5 million top-grade immortal stones.
Over these days, while there were treasures that had sold for the high price of two million top-grade immortal stones, they added up to no more than thirty-odd pieces.
As for those treasures that fetched auction prices over ten million, one could count them on one hand.
After all, two million top-grade immortal stones equal twenty billion middle-grade immortal stones or two trillion low-grade immortal stones.
That was already an exorbitantly high price.
Among the tens of millions present, fewer than a thousand could afford such a price.
“Two million for the first ti, any more bids?
Keep in mind, this is a treasure box from an ancient civilization.
If you decipher it fully, who knows, you might master these top-tier restriction talismans.
What are you waiting for?
Bid now!
If not, you’ll lose this treasure box to soone else…”
Whether it was the real auctioneers of the Wanbao Building or the online auctioneers from Xuandan Pavilion, Heavenly Soldier Workshop…
or Minghuang Palace, they all had one quirk: they would deliberately delay, trying by all ans to provoke the bidding fervor amongst others.
“2.1 million…” from within Box No.8, an Immortal Emperor hesitated for a long ti before raising the bid once more.
Ao Ye, without any hesitation, bid again, “2.55 million…”
Finding Ao Ye’s obstinate bidding akin to a simpleton’s, no one else offered a higher price for the mont.
“2.55 million for the first ti… 2.55 million for the second ti.
2.55 million for the third ti!
Done!
Congratulations to the ancient immortal in Box No.18 for claiming this mysterious treasure box…” The auctioneer went on and on for a while, but with no new bids erging, he brought down the gavel, concluding the auction.
Having bought the box for just 2.5 million top-grade immortal stones made Lv Zhong quite excited as he hugged Ao Ye lightly, happily saying, “Ye Er, you’re amazing.
Had I been the one bidding, it’s possible that even using three million top-grade immortal stones wouldn’t have been enough to win this box.”
Ao Ye smiled smugly and replied, “Heh, I am an auction house owner after all, naturally more proficient in the ways of the auction than my husband.
Had I known about this treasure box earlier, with a small trick, I could have bought it for an even lower price.”
The couple exchanged a few more words, and then, the cloth covering the next treasure was removed.
Everyone looked on only to discover a peculiar miniature sword.
At that point, the auctioneer’s voice rang out, “You might wonder why this penultimate showstopper item is a seemingly inconsequential fairy sword sent up for auction, huh?
Hehe, let tell you the truth—this sword is known as the Nine Tribulation Sword, and it serves as one of the keys to entering Hongng Longng.
It carries at least a quota for a thousand people to enter the Hongng Dragon Tomb.
Now, does anyone still doubt its status as the showstopper item?”(To be continued.
