From Covering the Sky, I Became a Transcendent

Chapter 44 Auction

The next morning.

"when……"

The sound of a long bell rang out, spreading throughout the entire Ziwei Imperial Capital. The ringing of this bell indicated that the auction of the Human King Palace had officially begun.

The scale of this Human King Palace auction was very large, attracting many important figures, including the leaders of various major sects in Ziwei.

Even several clan leaders from the Four Seas Demon Tribe came. They were all attracted by the relics of the Heavenly Venerable and came to the central part of Shenzhou, so they took the opportunity to participate in this auction.

The Human King Palace seized the opportunity and took the opportunity to make the auction a bigger event, and the Ziwei Divine Dynasty also acquiesced. After all, they get a share of the profits every year.

Si Chen and the second elder entered the treasure palace, revealing their identities as members of the Ancient Sun Sect and the king of Zhan Dao. The waiter did not dare to neglect them and quickly arranged a luxurious private room for them.

The private room is located upstairs and has a formation to conceal one's identity, so it is extremely private. Sitting in the suspended private room, one can overlook the auction hall with great clarity.

Si Chen noticed that the hall below was packed with tens of thousands of seats, all filled with monks.

"This auction is rare once every fifty years. I am really looking forward to it. There should be many treasures." The second elder made a pot of tea and said, "Your Highness, if you have your eyes on any divine item, just tell me. Before I came out, the leader gave me some sources."

Si Chen nodded. It was his first time attending an auction and he felt it was very novel.

"People from the North Sea Black Dragon Clan are here."

I saw a man in a black dragon robe coming in. His figure was no different from that of a human, except that there were two dragon horns in his black hair that were very eye-catching.

"And the Holy Lord of the Chen family in Hezhou."

The person who came was a middle-aged man with long eyebrows, walking like a dragon and a tiger, and his cultivation was terrifying.

From time to time, the sound of registrations could be heard at the door, and important figures kept coming in. They were either elders and supreme elders from the holy land, or seniors who had been famous in the cultivation world for a long time.

Many sect leaders also came, which shows the impact of this auction. People looked at these strong men in awe. They were all powerful figures that were rarely seen in normal times.

"Bang!" The sound of a gavel hitting the table spread throughout the auction hall.

A gorgeous woman in green walked onto the stage, gavel in her hand.

The woman had a slender figure and a stunning face, which made many people sit up straight and stare at the stage eagerly.

This woman is an Immortal One cultivator. The Human King Palace is indeed very profound, and even the auctioneer has reached this level.

"Welcome everyone, I believe this auction will not disappoint you!"

The woman in blue decisively announced the start of the auction.

"Let's start with an appetizer. A ten-thousand-year-old spiritual medicine. The base price is thirty thousand kilograms of source."

"Thirty-five thousand kilograms of source!"

"Forty thousand jin of source!"

"Fifty thousand jin of source!"

The first thing that came up was a thousand-year-old elixir. Many cultivators who had participated in the auction were very surprised. It was indeed more exciting than before. The price of this elixir kept rising. Finally, it was bought by a cultivator in the hall, who spent a full 95,000 kilograms of source.

If it were sold outside, this thousand-year-old elixir would be worth at most 70,000 to 80,000 kilograms of source, and it would only fetch this price at an auction.

The next few materials were all bought by the monks in the hall. The highest price was only 100,000 jin of source. No big shot opened the bidding, and everything was calm.

The big shots have high standards and look down on these ordinary materials. They are waiting for the magical objects to come and the finale.

"Shaoyin Sword, the base price is 150,000 Jin Yuan, and each bid cannot be less than 10,000."

Finally, a treasure arrived and attracted some attention, and some elders began to bid.

This sword is dark blue in color, emitting pure Taiyin power and is extremely cold. It is an ancient sword interwoven with laws and is a high-level weapon.

"One hundred and eighty thousand jin of source!"

"Two hundred thousand jin of source!"

"Two hundred and fifty thousand jin of source!"...

In the end, the Shaoyin Sword was sold at an alarmingly high price and ended up in the hands of a woman from Guanghan Palace. The woman's sect also practiced the power of Taiyin, so the sword might be useful to her.

Afterwards, the atmosphere in the auction hall became more and more heated. Each treasure was unveiled, attracting bursts of exclamations, and the transaction prices became higher and higher.

The young people simply cannot compete, as it is the older generation who are bidding. To the top leaders of these holy places, hundreds of thousands of kilograms of source are not worth mentioning at all.

The appearance of this Shaoyin Sword and the subsequent treasures opened the eyes of many people, and they had to sigh that the standards of this auction were indeed very high.

The bell rang again, indicating that the level of the treasures to be auctioned next will be higher.

"One Human Yuan Fruit, the base price is 300,000 Jin Yuan."

This fruit is half the size of a fist and has a fragrant aroma. It is a fleshy fruit, pink in color, a bit like a peach.

The appearance of the Human Yuan Fruit brought everything to a climax. There was a commotion in the hall, and even those so-called big shots couldn't remain calm. Bursts of noise came from the private room.

"This kind of peerless miraculous medicine has appeared. It is a rare treasure that can extend a person's life by 500 years."

"No, its greatest value is not just this. If we can ask an alchemy master to refine a precious elixir, it can extend the life of a saint by fifty years!"

"Now all the major religions have to take action. For this holy medicine, the bigwigs will probably fight to the death."

In this world, the most precious thing is, of course, something that can prolong life. Haven’t you seen that even figures like the Ancient Emperor have to desperately search for the elixir of immortality, longing to live another life.

Not to mention those saints who are nearing the end of their lifespan. They can do anything to prolong their lifespan.

People are all afraid of death, and the older they get, the more afraid they are of death. In fifty years, there are so many things that can be done.

Even Si Chen was a little shaken. Before he started practicing, the spiritual object he used to build his foundation was the Earth Life Fruit, which was the evolution of the Human Yuan Fruit.

If this kind of fruit evolves further, it will become the divine fruit, which is even more extraordinary and is a fruit of the immortal level.

(The Earth Life Fruit is comparable to the Elixir of Immortality, and the Human Essence Fruit should not be that bad.)
"Five hundred thousand jin of source!"

Someone started bidding immediately, and the tone was impatient. Judging from the situation, breaking through 100 kilograms would be a piece of cake.

For the major sects, one million jin of source is nothing. These big figures are sending messages to the forces, asking them to bring more source.

"Eight hundred thousand jin of source!"

"I'll give you one million!"

"One million and two hundred thousand jin of source!"

Prices were rising at an alarming rate, and the bigwigs couldn't keep calm and raised prices quickly.

"It seems that the rumors are true. The saint of the Great Zhou Dynasty is about to pass away and is in urgent need of a magical medicine to prolong his life."

"The people of the Chen family are also shouting fiercely. It seems that their saint is no longer able to do anything."

"Not necessarily. It could be that they bought it for storage."

The monks in the hall couldn't participate at all and could only sit there and chat, feeling very helpless.

"One million and five hundred thousand kilograms of source!" The elder of the Great Zhou Divine Dynasty did not hesitate and followed immediately.

Everyone gasped, the price was outrageous, although there were few things in the world that could prolong life, they did exist.

"Perhaps the saint has already used other life-extending items, so they are no longer effective."

Some longevity relics are the same as elixirs of immortality. They can only be used once and cannot be taken repeatedly.

The Holy Lord of the Chen family did not raise the price any further because it was not worth it as there was a finale item to come.

Therefore, this Human Yuan Fruit was sold at the price of 1.5 million kilograms of pure source.
