The Great Overlord: Simulating the Future, Dominating Speedrunning

Chapter 155 West City Auction

After reading the strong list in my hand,

Lu Chen turned to look at the old ghost on the side and asked, "Anything else you gained?"

The old ghost from the Corpse Mountain and the old man Hidden Sword exchanged a glance, and then the old man Hidden Sword stepped forward, clasped his fists, and said, "Palace Master, we have learned that the reason so many people on the Strongest List have gathered in West City is mainly because of one thing."

As soon as he finished speaking, the old ghost from Corpse Mountain continued, "It is said that when the Heavenly Palace first appeared in the world, the Xihan Sect sent a small team to explore the space crack. In the end, after paying a huge price, they brought back an item from the ancient Heavenly Palace."

"It's rumored that this item is the token of the Second Hall Master, but the Xihan Sect failed to keep the news secret in time. Now, this matter has been known by other top forces. Under the pressure of these major forces, the Xihan Sect can only put this item up for auction to allow them to compete fairly."

Hearing this, Lu Chen nodded and said, "Have you found out what will be auctioned at the auction?"

Hearing this, the old ghost from the Corpse Mountain was stunned and turned to look at the old man Cang Jian beside him.

Unexpectedly, the Hidden Sword Elder gave a wry smile and said, "Palace Master, you're putting us in a difficult position. The items at the auction were all urgently prepared by the Xihan Sect. The major powers are unaware of them, so it's naturally difficult for us to find out."

"But I did find out the auction will start in three days."

"Thank you for your hard work, go down and rest."

Lu Chen nodded, and then two jade bottles flew out from his sleeves and hovered in front of the two people.

"Thank you, Palace Master. I'll take my leave."

The old man Cang Jian and the old ghost from Shi Shan took the jade bottle and stood up to say goodbye without asking what was inside.

Lu Chen watched the two of them go away, yawned lazily, supported his chin with his hand, slowly closed his eyes, and continued to listen to the noisy information in the restaurant.

The Demonic Supreme stood up and stood beside him, like his most loyal guard.

……

Three days later,

When the auction was about to begin, countless sounds of breaking wind were heard in the West City, and overwhelming light and shadows roared directly towards the auction house in the center of the city.

In the past, this auction house was idle, but for today's auction, Xihan Sect has reopened it.

The auction house is a magnificent building like a loft with three floors.

The lowest level is the ordinary area. The higher you go, the better the view is, and the layout is more luxurious and comfortable, while you can overlook the entire venue.

After Lu Chen and his group revealed their identities as from the Daluo Realm, the Xihan Sect did not look down on them because they were a newly-promoted top force. Instead, they respectfully welcomed them into the third level.

Auction house, third floor.

Inside a luxurious box.

Lu Chen sat on a blanket made of ice and fire mink fur, picked up the ice-blue spiritual fruit on the fruit plate, took a big bite, and his eyes lit up. He exclaimed in admiration, "This Xihan Sect is quite generous. This is the Ice Jade Fruit, worth 10,000 Supreme Spirit Liquids, and they just put it on a plate. How generous!"

Muchen, who was standing by, didn't take it seriously at first, but after hearing about the value of the spiritual fruit, he curiously picked up an ice jade fruit and took a big bite. Immediately, a huge amount of spiritual power suddenly surged into his limbs and bones, making him lick his lips involuntarily.

Then, he picked up an ice jade fruit with one hand and stuffed it directly into his mouth without caring about his image.

Lu Chen finished the spiritual fruit in his hand, and looking at Mu Chen who was wolfing it down beside him, he couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Eat slowly, no one is competing with you for it, it's all yours. This thing is not very useful for those above the seventh-grade supreme, but it is a great tonic for you."

"It's all for you, take your time to eat."

"Boom!"

Just as Muchen was wolfing down his food, the sound of a bell suddenly rang out from the auction hall. The sound drowned out the noisy noise and quickly attracted everyone's attention.

Lu Chen also looked towards the source of the sound and saw a huge platform. A middle-aged man stood there. He bowed to the crowd and said with a smile, "I am Han Fei from the Xihan Sect. I am grateful for your kindness. I will host this auction..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Han Fei waved his hand, and then a young girl in gauze came up carefully behind him, holding a silver plate in both hands.

On the silver plate, spiritual light flowed, and then the rich light gradually dissipated, revealing the object inside.

Countless powerful men looked at it and saw that on the silver plate was a pitch-black stone bead. On the stone bead, there were mottled marks, and there was a faint ancient aura emanating from it, which was obscure and inexplicable.

This is actually a quasi-sacred object!

The whole sky was filled with uproar. No one had expected that the Xihan Sect would make such a big move.

Han Fei smiled slightly when he saw this.

"Without further ado, I know you all can't wait any longer. Let's begin the auction of the first item now!"

"To be honest, the object on this silver plate is called the Broken Sea Pearl. It was snatched back from the Ancient Heavenly Palace by my Xihan Sect at the risk of our lives."

"It is said that in the ancient Heavenly Palace, only elite disciples who have made great contributions can receive this item as a reward. This pearl is of the quasi-sacred level. I don't need to elaborate on its specific value, right?"

Han Fei pointed at the black stone bead and said with a smile.

His voice spread, and the already noisy building suddenly became abuzz.

Countless powerful men stared at the black stone bead with fiery eyes, and there was a hint of excitement in their eyes.

Quasi-sacred artifacts were quite rare even among the top powers. Most of the time, a lower-level supreme being held only weapons of this level.

"The auction price for this item is 10 million Supreme Spirit Liquids. Each bid must not be less than 1 million Supreme Spirit Liquids. If you are interested, please make your bid."

Han Fei smiled.

As soon as these words were spoken, all the powerful warriors who were ready to make a move calmed down. Ten million supreme spiritual liquids is not a small amount, and ordinary powerful warriors at the ninth level of perfection cannot afford it.

Only the core successor of the top power behind the party, or the strong man at the supreme level can casually take out such a large amount of supreme spiritual liquid.

"Eleven million!"

On the second-floor attic, a man in white clothes waved a folding fan and shouted loudly.

"Twelve million!"

As soon as the man in white finished speaking, a middle-aged man with a scar on his face spoke gloomily.

"Fifteen million. This prince wants this thing. Is there anyone else who wants to bid?"

At this time, in the third-floor attic, Xia Hong of the Great Xia Dynasty hugged an extremely beautiful woman and spoke lazily.

As soon as the words fell, the expressions of the two people who had spoken just now changed, and then they fell silent.

The Great Xia Dynasty is one of the top forces in the Tianluo Continent, and is not something that first-rate forces like them can provoke. It's just a quasi-sacred object, so just give it up and there's no need to offend.

After a while,

Han Fei looked at the quiet crowd and smiled, saying, "Since no one bids anymore, this broken sea pearl belongs to the Fourth Prince."

He clapped his hands lightly, and the girl holding the Broken Sea Pearl retreated and disappeared on the balcony. At the same time, another girl came up with small steps.
