Swallowing the Stars: Ten Thousand Times Return for Taking on Disciples

Chapter 56 Still saying you're not a tycoon?
If Lu Qingshan remembered correctly, the two sisters, Lingyu and Lingxi, seemed to have the bloodline of the One-Horned Ghost King in their bodies.

Lingyu's approximate amount was displayed on the system.

At that time, Lu Qingshan specifically asked Nasus to search for information about the One-Horned Demon King, but he found nothing. Nasus speculated that his permissions were insufficient.

But now, at the Qianwu Auction, he actually saw something related to the One-Horned Ghost King.

The horn of the One-Horned Demon King?
Judging from its name, this thing is probably a very important part of the One-Horned Demon King.

"If there's any hope, we can take this thing down!"

Lu Qingshan secretly calculated his assets. He had just spent nearly two Hunyuan on purchasing the Lan Ke Fruit, and now he had 65 Hunyuan left.

I don't know if I can afford it.

Lu Qingshan knew nothing about the so-called One-Horned Ghost King; he simply felt he needed to take it down, in case it was important to Ling Yu. What kind of reward would he receive then?
Lu Qingshan surveyed his surroundings.

There were many other realm lords who were just as bewildered as he was, and they were all talking in hushed tones, seemingly discussing something they had never seen before.

The host seemed to deliberately leave time for discussion and exchange, without introducing anything, thus whetting everyone's appetite.

"Han Li, do you know what this is?"

The three-eyed dragon-man Kuntu standing next to him was somewhat curious.

"do not know."

Lu Qingshan shook his head; he genuinely didn't know, but guessed it must be some kind of special life form.

"That's strange. I've gone through the treasure descriptions in the Imperial Library several times, but I've never heard of this thing..."

Kuntu said something and then fell silent, seemingly lost in thought, as if inquiring about something in a virtual universe.

Of course, just because most people don't know doesn't mean that no one knows.

In a place where a group of immortals gather.

A burly man covered in silver armor suddenly brightened up.

"It's this thing. I wonder if the Time Origin Law runes on the horn are still there. If they are, I made the right decision to come to this auction."

He immediately sent a message to his subordinates.

"Raise the money, raise as much money as you can for me, and get the money into my hands within a day."

……

In a secluded corner of the auction hall, a man in a white robe carrying a golden sword looked at the unicorn on the stage, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes.

"The core horn of the One-Horned Demon King actually appeared at such a low-level auction in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom? What incredible luck..."

"If this item were in the company's treasury, it would require at least 10 points to redeem. If the auction price doesn't exceed 2 Chaos Yuan, I'll make a profit!"

"Even if I can't master the Time Law using the secret runes on it and resell them, I can still make a fortune! Hehehe..."

……

During the ten-minute discussion, some people had already learned about the origin of this thing from elsewhere, but most people still looked blank and waited for the host to explain.

Barto was good at creating an atmosphere, and only then did he display the information on the big screen.

Lu Qingshan glanced at the synchronized information on the token.

[The One-Horned Ghost King, a special life form from the Prison Clan's territory, possesses a genetic level 50 times higher and is a natural favorite of the Time Origin Law, possessing extremely strong talent in the Time Origin Law!]

"really!"

It was exactly as Lu Qingshan had guessed.

This thing is indeed a special life form, but it comes from the distant territory of the Prison Clan and is extremely rare. In addition, due to the information blockade of the virtual universe, not many people know about it.

"Too powerful! It's actually a special life form!"

Kuntu was shocked. He had just received no news from his father. It turned out to be an extremely rare and special life form.

How can this thing be auctioned at the Qianwu Universe Kingdom? That's illogical!!!

He took a deep breath: "This auction has really broadened my horizons. I really don't know who entrusted such a good thing to the Qianwu Auction House for auction. This is defying the heavens! If someone had the ability to create an avatar, it would be too exaggerated. This is a darling of the superior time law!"

Soon, Quinto's daydream was shattered.

Barto looked apologetic: "I regret to inform you that, for some reason, the Time Origin Law runes on this horn have been completely erased, so it is impossible for anyone to learn from and cultivate the Time Law. Moreover, the horn of the One-Horned Demon King is made of a special metal and does not contain the One-Horned Demon King's physical genes, so it does not have the ability to create clones!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd, who had been looking forward to it, almost cursed. They'd been building up their anticipation for so long.

You're telling me now that this is a piece of trash?

A single horn, without the ability to create clones, its only purpose is to comprehend the secret runes of the laws of time. Now that even the runes on it are gone, what use is it?

The immortal who had just been asking his subordinates to raise money suddenly turned pale and hurriedly sent a message: "Don't sell those treasures yet, I don't need funds for the time being."

The white-robed man carrying a golden sword in the corner also had a regretful expression: "What a pity, I knew my luck wouldn't be that good... How could something worth 100,000 points be so easily snatched up?"

"This bastard, is he deliberately messing with us? He's completely useless, just dawdling around for ages!"

Kuntu was somewhat speechless.

I thought it was something valuable, but it turns out it's just a collectible.

"Don't be disappointed, everyone. This horn isn't entirely useless. After all, it's rare. If it comes across a collector, they might buy it for a high price. Moreover, this horn is made of a special metal, which is an excellent material for forging divine weapons..."

"Enough with the small talk, the starting bid is one unit of Hunyuan!"

Compared to special life forms, the starting price for a Hunyuan is incredibly low.

Upon hearing this starting price, even Kuntu, who had been dismissive, joined in, bidding 2 Hunyuan, doubling the price.

Whether something is good or bad is relative. If it's overpriced, it's worthless, but if you can get it for a few Hunyuan, it's definitely a great treasure with excellent value for money.

Of course, finding a bargain isn't so easy.

Before long, the price was raised to over 10 Hunyuan.

Quinto gave up bidding, his face once again displaying a disdainful expression.

"15 Hunyuan!"

When the competition wasn't so fierce, Lu Qingshan set a price.

"Damn it, Brother Han Li, are you crazy?!"

Seeing Lu Qingshan enter the price, Kuntu hurriedly advised, "This thing is really useless, don't waste your money!"

"It's alright, just give me a little push. If I buy it, consider it a collectible." Lu Qingshan pretended not to care.

Kuntu said admiringly, "You said you were poor before. Is that something a poor person should say?"

"16 Hunyuan".

"16.5 Hunyuan!"

"17 Hunyuan, this is the last time. Anyone who follows me again will be abandoned."

"18!"

Prices are still rising.

The bidders were mostly immortal gods or world lords with high net worth who didn't lack this kind of thing and bought it as a toy.

"20 Hunyuan!"

Lu Qingshan made another offer.

This time, they persuaded quite a few people to give up.

However, the price increase hasn't stopped.

"21 Hunyuan!"

"22 Hunyuan!"

"30 Mixed Yuan!!!"

Lu Qingshan immediately raised the price to the 30s, and all the bids stopped.

Thirty Chaos Yuan are equivalent to the entire wealth of three Realm Lords; even the immortal gods present cannot squander them at will.

As the countdown ended, Barto delivered the final blow: "Congratulations to the bidder with seat number knd56480."

Lu Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, no one jumped out to cause trouble, and he still managed to take down the unicorn with special meaning.
