Zhutian: Start from Devouring the Stars and Becoming a God

Chapter 183 Preparing for the Auction

In the virtual universe, Thunder Island, inside Lu Qingshan’s palace.

"The super auction in the Hong Alliance is about to begin. I have to prepare well!"

Lu Qingshan, who was in the study, thought to himself, "Maybe I can find a treasure that suits me at this auction. It will be troublesome if I don't have enough money!"

Although he now holds more than 2 trillion Hunyuan units of wealth in his hands, he is already extremely wealthy among the many immortal kings.

But compared to those immortal kings who have lived for an extremely long time but never died, they are definitely inferior.

Again, even if an Immortal King does the simplest job, after a long enough period of time, he can accumulate a large amount of wealth.

There are also those immortal kings who have backgrounds, such as the Lord of the Universe or even the disciples of the Lord of the Universe. The wealth in their hands is naturally extremely terrifying.

Although Lu Qingshan is now acquainted with several universe overlords, the relationship between them is far inferior to that between a master and a disciple.

"But I am considered to be quite lucky!"

Lu Qingshan quickly remembered the Shining Grass that he had prepared for his fifth disciple Aina. This grass could give a 30% chance of a breakthrough to become immortal after being used by a realm master-level expert who was recognized by the law of the origin of lightning.

Previously, the fifth disciple Aina broke through and became immortal through her own efforts, which saved Lu Qingshan a huge sum of wealth.

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan quickly set off for the residence of King Lihuo, which was also located at the foot of Thunder Island. This man was one of the managers of the acquisition department of the Virtual Universe Company.

The acquisition department of the Virtual Universe Company does not have a high status in the Virtual Universe. It is not even as good as the transportation department, let alone the intelligence department which is full of powerful people.

Therefore, the acquisition department was headed by only three immortal kings, and King Lihuo was one of them.

Although the price of Shining Grass would be slightly reduced if sold to the acquisition department of Virtual Universe Company, there was no other way around it.

After all, the Shining Grass that Lu Qingshan had obtained was exchanged for him by Venerable Zifeng from the treasury of the human race, and the human race is strictly prohibited from buying treasures within the race at low prices and selling them to powerful aliens.

If the treasure is obtained by oneself, there is nothing wrong in selling it to foreigners at a high price.

But if the treasure is purchased by oneself within the company or even from the tribe's treasury, then when you want to sell it, you must sell it to the tribe again.

Perhaps the great masters of the universe can break this rule, but it is not possible for a small immortal king like Lu Qingshan!
King Lihuo's mansion was not far from Lu Qingshan's mansion, so Lu Qingshan quickly arrived at the door of King Lihuo's mansion.

"Hahaha!"

Just as Lu Qingshan appeared in front of the door of King Lihuo's mansion, a hearty laugh rang out, and then a middle-aged man wearing a luxurious red robe and with strange secret patterns on his face quickly came out. It was King Lihuo, one of the heads of the acquisition department.

King Lihuo walked to the gate of the mansion and looked at Lu Qingshan, and quickly greeted him warmly: "King of the Ten Thousand Realms, it's rare for you to come to my place!"

"Leihuo King!"

Lu Qingshan also greeted him with a smile, and then continued: "The main reason I came to you this time is that I need your help with something!"

"Can you talk about it slowly?"

King Lihuo immediately extended his hand and invited him, "I just exchanged a bottle of good wine today. King Wanjie, you are in for a treat today!"

Although King Lihuo didn't know what was special about Lu Qingshan, he knew that Lu Qingshan had a certain relationship with several cosmic overlords in the human race, so his attitude was naturally very enthusiastic.

After hearing this, Lu Qingshan quickly followed King Lihuo into the mansion. King Lihuo then quickly picked up the bottle beside him and filled a glass of fruit wine for Lu Qingshan.

"The Unfading Spiritual Spring?"

Lu Qingshan looked at the wine in his hand and felt a little surprised.

You know, even in the virtual universe, this undying spiritual spring is quite expensive. Although it is nothing to the immortal kings, it cannot withstand the daily consumption of wine lovers.

Therefore, for most immortal gods, they will only drink this kind of fine wine when there is something worth celebrating.

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan quickly smiled and asked, "King Lihuo, did you encounter any good things?"

"Not bad!"

King Lihuo nodded slightly and said, "Recently, a talented young man has emerged from my family. He even made it into the top ten in the universe in the last peak genius competition, and eventually joined the Taichu Secret Realm, a core layer of my Virtual Universe Company!"

"Not long ago, a young man from my family went to the Xueluo Continent for training. On his way back, he was unexpectedly favored by the Lord of the Sky Eclipse Palace, who accepted him as a registered disciple!"

"Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace?"

After hearing what King Lihuo said, Lu Qingshan was slightly surprised.

When King Sky Eclipse had just broken through to the Venerable realm, his title was simply Sky Eclipse Venerable. It was not until millions of years ago that he changed his name to Sky Eclipse Palace Master.

At the same time, the Youhou Temple, which had been guarding outside the Xueluo Continent, was transformed into the Tianshi Palace!
“This is really something worth celebrating!”

An idea flashed through Lu Qingshan's mind, and he quickly raised his glass and said, "Then I would like to wish you, Lord Lihuo, that your family will have a new immortal king!"

"Hahaha!"

King Lihuo immediately smiled and said, "If you want to become an immortal king, that little guy still has a long way to go!"

"By the way, King of the Ten Thousand Worlds, what is the reason you came to see me this time?"

"Is such that!"

Lu Qingshan immediately smiled and said, "I have a treasure on me that I want to sell to your acquisition department, so I came to you, Lihuo King!"

"So that's what happened!"

King Lihuo smiled and said, "King of Wanjie, don't worry. I will send my men to you later and will definitely give you a suitable purchase price!"

As one of the heads of the acquisition department, King Li Huo is no longer responsible for specific acquisition work, unless he encounters extremely precious treasures.

In his eyes, Lu Qingshan had just broken through to the King realm not long ago, so how precious a treasure could he have in his hand?
"That shouldn't work!"

Lu Qingshan smiled and said, "King Lihuo, what I want to sell this time is a very precious Shining Grass!"

"Shining grass?"

After hearing what Lu Qingshan said, Li Huo Wang was slightly stunned, then he stood up and said, "Is it the Shining Grass that can help the Realm Master break through to the Immortal Realm?"

As one of the heads of the acquisition department, King Lihuo naturally has very high authority in the virtual universe, so he certainly knows what Shining Grass is!
But the more this happened, the more frightened he became!
"Not bad!"

Lu Qingshan nodded slightly, then waved his hand, and a virtual image of a shining grass suddenly appeared in the void in front of the two of them.

"This... you..."

When King Lihuo saw this illusory shining grass, he couldn't help but be slightly startled.

You know, the value of just one piece of Shining Grass is more than all the wealth he has accumulated over the years!

He wanted to find out the origin of this Shining Grass and how Lu Qingshan got it, but he held back in the end. After all, such things would easily cause the other party to be disgusted.

King Lihuo was already very enthusiastic about Lu Qingshan before, and now that he knew that Lu Qingshan owned a Shining Grass, he was even more so. Naturally, he would not be so unwise.

"Leihuo King!"

Lu Qingshan smiled and said, "Look at the price of this Shining Grass."

"This……"

King Lihuo hesitated for a moment, then said softly: "King of the Ten Thousand Worlds, this Shining Grass is extremely precious. Once it is sold, it will be difficult to buy it again! In my opinion, if you are not in a hurry to sell it, you might as well wait a little longer..."

At this point, King Lihuo winked at Lu Qingshan again, and then continued: "Rare treasures like the Shining Spirit Grass actually have the opportunity to participate in the super auction in Hongmeng City! By the way, I remember that the super auction is about to be held. King Wanjie, do you want to join in the fun then?"

After hearing this, Lu Qingshan laughed immediately.

King Lihuo was obviously hinting at him to send the Shining Grass to the super auction, but because they were in the virtual universe, he couldn't say it out loud.

But this kind of hint is actually the same as saying it directly, except that the Virtual Universe Company generally turns a blind eye to such things, and as long as it is not an obvious violation, it is no big deal.

Lu Qingshan naturally knew about this, but his Shining Grass was exchanged from the human community and could not be sent to the auction.

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan quickly said: "King Lihuo, I understand what you mean, but I still want to sell this Shining Grass directly to the company's acquisition department!"

Seeing that Lu Qingshan understood his meaning and was still determined to do so, King Li Huo naturally would not continue to persuade him.

After all, his previous behavior had, to some extent, damaged the interests of the company and the department. "Okay then!"

King Lihuo nodded slightly, and then continued: "For treasures like Shining Grass, there is a clear purchase price within my acquisition department. The purchase price of one Shining Grass is 900 billion Hunyuan units. I wonder if King Wanjie agrees?"

After hearing this, Lu Qingshan nodded secretly in his heart.

The information he learned from his grandmaster, Venerable Yaoguang, was that one treasure point was equivalent to ten trillion Hunyuan units.

Of course, within the human group, it is very easy to exchange treasure points into points and Hunyuan units, but it is extremely difficult to exchange Hunyuan units and points into treasure points.

After all, for the Universe Venerables, most of the treasures that can be purchased with points and Hunyuan units are no longer of any use to them, so when they trade with each other, they mostly use the treasure points and supreme treasure points within the clan, or barter.

However, Lu Qingshan does not have such strength now, and the purchase price given to him by the tribe is slightly lower than the selling price. Ninety percent is not a loss for him.

After all, in the original novel, when Luo Feng contributed the precious treasures in his hands to the tribe, the contribution points he received were only 90% of the exchange price of the treasures.

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan immediately nodded and said, "No problem!"

"Well!"

King Lihuo nodded slightly, and then continued to ask: "King of Wanjie, I wonder where you plan to hand over the Shining Grass. I will arrange for someone to go and hand it over!"

"It's in my mansion in Chaos City!" Lu Qingshan said again.

"That's great!"

King Lihuo nodded slightly, then continued with a smile and said, "I will arrange for someone to go there right away!"

Naturally, there would be no chance of any accidents during the handover in Chaos City, so it was relatively easy for him.

After discussing these important matters, Lu Qingshan started chatting with King Lihuo again.

While the two were chatting, someone from the acquisition department soon rushed to Lu Qingshan's mansion in Chaos City. After handing over the Shining Grass to them, a huge sum of 9 trillion Hunyuan units soon appeared in Lu Qingshan's account.

……

And so, time goes by.

More than ten years later, the new Hongmeng Super Auction has begun.

Virtual universe, inside Hongmeng City.

Lu Qingshan and Qingping Wang from the intelligence department of the Virtual Universe Company gathered together and quickly took out the invitation letters in their hands.

Soon after the invitation letter was taken out, it emitted a dazzling light, and then Lu Qingshan and King Qingping were teleported to a vast continent suspended in the clouds.

The scenery on this continent is extremely beautiful, and all kinds of exotic flowers and plants can be seen everywhere.

In the center of this continent stands an extremely dazzling huge building, which is the auction hall.

The super auction, which is held only once every ten thousand eras, is always held here.

The strong people who want to participate in the super auction must have a wealth of at least hundreds of billions of Hunyuan units.

At this time, many immortal gods from countless tribes in the Hong Alliance had already gathered at the entrance of the auction hall. They were either wearing gorgeous clothes or wearing simple armor...

Among these strong men, most of them are strong men from alien races with strange body shapes, and they are obviously very different from the strong men of the human race.

However, most of these alien warriors were very enthusiastic after seeing the strong men from the human race. After all, the entire Hong Alliance is centered around the human race.

There are a total of 108 entrances around this huge auction hall. At the entrance where Lu Qingshan and King Qingping are located alone, there are thousands of figures moving slowly forward.

The total number of strong men at all the entrances added together definitely reached hundreds of thousands!
"King Qingping!"

"King Qingping!"

"King of all realms!"

Many powerful alien warriors around who saw Lu Qingshan and King Qingping appear greeted them warmly.

However, most of them came to greet King Qingping, and there were relatively few strong people who were familiar with Lu Qingshan.

After all, Lu Qingshan has been quite low-key since he came to Hongmeng City. He usually only hangs out in a few communities around his residence, so naturally there are not many strong people who are familiar with him.

But King Qingping is different!

As one of the most capable assistants under the Shadow Monarch, Queen Qingping often deals with powerful aliens. Coupled with her own terrifying strength, she naturally attracted the attention of countless powerful people around her.

"Queen Qingping has seldom come to Hongmeng City recently. Who is the Immortal King beside her?"

"It should be the King of All Realms who just broke through the human race not long ago. I have seen his information before!"

"He has just broken through and is able to work with a strong man like King Qingping. Could he be a peerless genius within the human race? Why have I never heard of him?"

“That’s not the case! It is said that when the King of Ten Thousand Realms first broke through, he was just an ordinary military lord immortal, and later he slowly cultivated to the level of a crowned king!”

"Then why would King Qingping act with him?"

"Then I don't know, maybe the King of Ten Thousand Worlds has a great background!"

"The King of Ten Thousand Realms has just achieved a breakthrough and yet he is able to attend the Super Auction. He must have a very strong background. I have to find my friends in the human community to learn more about the situation, so as not to accidentally offend them in the future!"

Many of the strong men in the team came in groups of three or four, and many of the immortal kings knew each other, so they soon gathered together and started chatting.

Lu Qingshan heard the voices of these powerful men discussing himself and King Qingping, and he felt more and more the strength of the human race.

There were many entrances to the auction hall, and those queuing up were at least immortal kings, so it wasn't long before it was Lu Qingshan and King Qingping's turn.

"Lord King of All Realms, welcome to this super auction. Here is your seat number."

Lu Qingshan smiled and took the black token handed to him by the service staff. There was a small translucent screen on it, which showed his assigned seat number - ZCN76488.

Since King Qingping was with him and was a strong man from the same clan, he was naturally assigned to the adjacent seat.

Just like that, Lu Qingshan and King Qingping walked into the auction hall holding tokens, and soon saw a huge square.

There were circles of seats around the square, and in the middle was an auction platform made of black rock.

"ZCN76488."

Lu Qingshan and Qingping Wang took their own seat tokens and quickly found their respective seats.

Each seat in the auction hall is six meters wide and ten meters high.

The entire auction hall had nearly a million tall seats, and at this moment, half of them were already occupied. The seats were arranged in circles, with no end in sight.

The discussions of many powerful people rose and fell throughout the auction hall, constantly echoing, as if countless gods were communicating.

Super powerful warriors who are rarely seen in battlefields outside the domain can be seen everywhere here, as numerous as crucian carp crossing the river.

After all, the wealth of the strong men who are able to participate in this super auction all exceeds 100 billion Hunyuan units. Being able to accumulate such an astonishing wealth also shows their background and strength!

Half a day later!
"Everyone!"

A gentle voice soon sounded in the auction hall, echoing throughout the space, instantly quieting down the group of powerful people who were communicating.

Lu Qingshan looked at the black rock platform in the center of the auction hall.

Suddenly, a powerful alien with purple hair and a graceful figure appeared there.

Behind this person, there is a 'virtual projection' that is several thousand meters high.

"Everyone is welcome to participate in this super auction!"

"First of all, I would like to thank the human race for providing us with this platform. At the same time, let us also wish that our Hongmeng will become stronger under the leadership of the human race!"

The alien warrior smiled and said, "The number of participants in this super auction has reached an astonishing 306041, which is more than more than the previous one. This also shows that our Hongmeng is thriving under the leadership of the human race!"

"I believe most of you here are familiar with me. I am 'Zi Chen'. This is my tenth time hosting this kind of super event. I hope you can continue to support me!"
