The sect asked me to marry, and I cultivated to the pinnacle of martial arts!

Chapter 205 The Birth of the Starfall Spirit Sword, and the Restless Forces from All Directions
Upon hearing this, Fang Zhiyu said somewhat awkwardly, "To be honest, Saintess Xihe, I was on the list once during those three times."

"As for the other two, our Tianxuan Sect is currently sending people to investigate, but there is no reliable information coming in yet."

With the Dongcang Ranking changing one after another, the Tianxuan Sect immediately activated some of its undercover agents to gather information from various sources.

But the two people who appeared on the list afterward seemed to have appeared out of nowhere from the Eastern Territory.

Several days passed, and still no word came back.

Saintess Xihe nodded, closing her eyes slightly as if conserving her energy.

At the same time, Lu Ye and Chen Lingxiang also arrived at a silver card private room.

"There are so many people tonight. If we had come any later, there probably wouldn't have been any seats left in the main hall," Chen Lingxiang said curiously, clearly unaware of the auction list beforehand.

"I wonder what will happen on the last night of the trade fair, and what has attracted so many people here."

"I have heard a little about it; it seems to be a true-grade spirit sword," Lu Ye said calmly.

Lu Ye estimated that unless he used all his source crystals, he would have no chance of winning the bid for this level of magical artifact.

However, compared to a top-tier magic weapon, Lu Ye still felt that improving his own strength was more important.

Magical artifacts can enhance one's abilities and increase combat power, but ultimately, it depends on one's own cultivation level.

Upon hearing this, Chen Lingxiang glanced at Lu Ye and remained silent. She knew that the chief auctioneer of the Baichuan Chamber of Commerce seemed to have some connection with Young Master Lu.

Therefore, it's not impossible that Ru Xue used her connections to get Lu Gongzi an early notice of the auction items.

However, Chen Lingxiang already knew that with Young Master Lu's talent, it was impossible for him not to be attractive.

Even if she expresses her feelings, she won't fight for anything, she doesn't even need a title, she'll just... keep it all under the table!

With a genuine artifact appearing, it's no wonder that so many forces have gathered there.

When Ru Xue appeared on the auction stage in a cheongsam, the atmosphere in the room immediately froze.

All eyes immediately turned to him.

Ru Xue smiled slightly, maintaining her capable style, and after a few brief words, she prepared to begin the auction.

Meanwhile, in a quiet room inside the auction house, two people sat facing each other.

One of them was none other than Yuan Chong, one of the four grandmasters who appeared a hundred miles outside Dongcang City that night when the starlight fell upon the earth.

At this moment, Yuan Chong sat in a chair, the fragrant tea in front of him steaming gently. In his old eyes, he looked at the drowsy old man opposite him with a hint of respect.

"Mr. Teng, it's been a year since we last met. You're still as vigorous as ever."

Teng Qingshan, a member of the Xuanzhou Baichuan Chamber of Commerce, is one of the two Grandmasters!

Grandmaster Level 3 in the Mortal Realm!
Even within the Eastern Territory, he is a top-tier martial arts expert who can engage in equal dialogue with top-tier forces such as the Tianxuan Sect and the Yellow Springs Pavilion.

Hearing Yuan Chong's words, Teng Qingshan opened his seemingly listless old eyes and shook his head: "I'm old, I can't do it anymore. The Eastern Territory is becoming more and more lively, and the younger generation is rising at a speed far exceeding that of our era."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Chong nodded in agreement, somewhat sighing, "Elder Teng is right. It's not just our Eastern Territory; I've heard that the Northern Territory, which is quite barren of primordial energy, has also produced a remarkable martial arts master recently."

"In less than a few months, he was able to defeat a Grandmaster at the fifth level!"

"Although that Grandmaster at the fifth level is said to be old and frail, with his blood and energy declining and no longer at their peak, he is still more than capable of defeating a Grandmaster at the fourth level who is currently at his peak."

As a rare major event in the Northern Territory in recent years, Lu Ye's battle on the Yunlan River had already been heard of throughout Xuanzhou! Teng Qingshan was also somewhat surprised after hearing this. Such a genius actually came from the Northern Territory?

After a moment of contemplation, Teng Qingshan looked in a certain direction and said, "Tonight's auction... even forces from Lianyunzhou have come. I just don't know who will ultimately get the Starfall Spirit Sword."

The cultivation world in Yunzhou is far more dazzling than that in Xuanzhou.

As one item after another was auctioned off by Ruxue, the auction soon moved on to the final few items.

A high-grade Xuan-level movement technique, along with fragments of a forbidden artifact, can unleash power comparable to that of a mid-stage Innate Realm cultivator in the hands of someone at the early stage of the Innate Realm…

These high-end items, which are rarely seen in outside shops, are now appearing in large numbers.

Lu Ye was somewhat surprised to see the price of that Xuan-level movement technique rise steadily, quickly breaking through the hundred million mark.

"High-level movement techniques are still too rare. The price of a high-grade Xuan-level movement technique is indeed higher than that of other types of high-grade Xuan-level manuals."

Movement techniques and martial arts skills, which can be used for both offense and defense, are indeed something that many people value most.

However, most of these people were still aiming for the final, most impressive magical artifacts, and their subsequent bidding became more restrained.

Finally, the top-grade Xuan-level movement technique was sold for 165 million taels of silver.

"Distinguished guests, as I know, you have come from afar for this last top-grade true artifact... the Starfall Spirit Sword!"

"Next, we will proceed with the auction of the Starfall Spirit Sword according to the seller's request! Whether it's silver, valuable spiritual herbs, or even array plates and talismans, they can all be appraised by our appraisers and the corresponding prices will be calculated!"

The auction hall, which could accommodate tens of thousands of people, fell into a brief silence.

Ninety-nine percent of those sitting in the hall are not qualified to know in advance what items will be auctioned.

Hearing the words "superior genuine artifact" for the first time now is a huge shock to my mind!
That's a rare magical artifact that only a master craftsman could create!

Even for a mortal grandmaster, let alone a grandmaster, possessing a true artifact of this caliber would be like adding wings to a tiger.

As a maidservant placed a sword case on the auction stage with both hands, multiple energy streams seemed to lock onto the entire auction hall in an instant.

A hint of greed began to spread.

At the same time, an overwhelming and terrifying aura of a grandmaster descended upon the entire brightly lit venue!

In that instant, many innate and grandmaster realm cultivators who felt their blood rushing to their heads became much more lucid.

The items auctioned by Baichuan Auction... are indeed not yet at their level to snatch.

Inside the diamond-encrusted box.

The moment the Starfall Spirit Sword appeared, a terrifying aura flashed across Saintess Xihe's body.

Then, looking with interest at the damaged Starfall Spirit Sword in the sword box, a naturally cold voice rang out.

"This spirit sword is indeed excellent. Although it is quite damaged, the forging array at its core is still intact. If it is nurtured and repaired over ten or eight years, it may very well become a top-grade true weapon."

"Fang Zhiyu, you will bid on my behalf in a moment."

Upon hearing this, Fang Zhiyu nodded in agreement: "Alright, there's no need for Saintess Xihe to handle the bidding; I, Fang, will take care of it."
