Swallowing the Stars: Eternal Glory

Chapter 79 The Qianwu Auction (Part 1)
Looking at the two golden light screens that appeared in the external space, Lu Jin raised his eyebrows slightly.

The price of a warrior's divine weapon is no lower than that of a master's divine weapon; this Radiant Divine Sword would cost at least 3 Mixed Yuan Units.

Lu Jin had originally planned to buy one at the Elementary Qianwu Auction, but he didn't expect to get it directly through a cheat program, which saved him a lot of money.

The fact that it could drop a martial arts divine weapon makes Nuolanshan worthy of being called the villainous patriarch who appeared in the early part of the original work but was only killed in the middle part.

The Soul Secret Technique that Baikaluo obtained during his ascension, "The Clock of Time," brought Lu Jin even greater comfort.

The ultimate secret techniques are standard equipment for cosmic venerables; they are of a very high level and will benefit them for a long time.

Moreover, it is not only a secret technique for soul defense, but also a secret technique for soul attack, so it is worthwhile to learn it.

After all, the innate secret technique 'Radiant Body' and the top-grade ordinary soul treasure 'Blazing Pearl' can only take effect in reality and cannot be brought into the virtual universe.

It's a pity that even with the first level of the "Clock of Time and Space": the Illusionary Clock, he couldn't meet the prerequisites for cultivation. He would have to wait until he crossed the threshold of the fundamental laws of light before he could cultivate.

Two hours later, Hei Yi and his team returned, having completed their mission of eliminating all star-level enemies on Ice Storm Star.

Afterwards, Lu Jin put everyone into the World Ring, and the Radiant Ship accelerated into the Dark Universe, heading towards Bilan Star within the territory of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.

It is already early December, and there are only half a month left before the start of the Elementary Dry Witch Auction.

He planned to go to Bilan Star, wait for the auction to end and for the auctioned treasures to arrive, before returning to Earth, so as to avoid having to make another trip after returning to Earth.

As for the funding issue, it was addressed long before the Norlhan Mountain fleet was dispatched to Ice Storm Star.

He found a prosperous planet and entrusted the Cosmic Galaxy Bank to sell the many Tier 5 equipment he had recently acquired through cheats.

The Cosmic Galaxy Bank has a wide sales network and a high delivery efficiency.

The delivery time is about twenty days, and we will definitely receive payment before the Qianwu Auction begins.

Time flies, and it's already December 15th.

The triennial Qianwu Auction has begun.

Virtual universe, Black Dragon Mountain Island, teleportation point.

'Teleport!'

Taking out the auction invitation, Lu Jin thought for a moment, and his figure instantly disappeared, teleporting to a floating city above the Qianwu Continent.

The view shifts, revealing an incredibly elegant sky city suspended in the clouds.

The scenery on the suspended city is beautiful, with exotic flowers and rare plants everywhere.

However, the most eye-catching feature is the magnificent auction hall located in the center of the floating city.

The triennial primary-level shaman auction is held in this auction hall.

At this moment, a long queue had already formed at the entrance of the auction hall.

A large number of three-star clients from the two major banks, each holding an auction invitation, are queuing in an orderly fashion to enter the auction hall.

Standing at the back of the line, Lu Jin looked around and felt as if he had become a little Karami surrounded by powerful people.

After all, the vast majority of those who came to the auction were realm lords, and there were even some impoverished immortal gods.

However, the powerful figures who came to participate in the auction did not underestimate Lu Jin, nor did they say anything to belittle him.

It is only natural that the Lord of the Realm could become a three-star client of both major banks.

Those below the level of Realm Lord who can become three-star clients represent extraordinary wealth and background.

The 30th epoch is in the East, and the 30th epoch is in the West.

Thirty years later, they will basically still be realm lords, but this little kid at the star level might already be an immortal-level figure.

Even if you don't deliberately try to befriend someone you have no grudge against, it's still best not to offend them.

Responding indifferently to the greetings from the powerful figures around him, it wasn't long before it was Lu Jin's turn.

"Sir, welcome to this year's Qianwu Auction. This is your seat number." A waiter said with a respectful smile, handing Lu Jin a black token.

On the black token was a semi-transparent screen displaying a seat number—knd251020.

After nodding his thanks, Lu Jin took the token and walked into the hall.

Entering the vast auction hall, Lu Jin found a seat engraved with the number 'knd251020'.

The seats in the enormous auction hall, six meters wide and ten meters high, were much larger than his bed.

But for a few larger aliens, this seat isn't actually that big.

Sitting cross-legged in the huge seat, Lu Jin quietly waited for the auction to begin.

More than two hours later.

"Everyone!"

Suddenly, a clear voice rang out, echoing throughout the entire auction hall, which immediately fell silent.

A bald old man carrying a black tortoise shell appeared in the center of the auction hall.

At the same time, a three-dimensional phantom image of the old man, nearly a thousand meters tall, was projected into the sky above the center of the auction hall.

"Welcome everyone to this year's Qianwu Auction!"
"Thanks to Virtual Universe Company, Universe First Bank, Universe Galaxy Bank, Giant Axe Arena, Universe Mercenary Alliance, and the Qianwu Universe Kingdom for their strong support."

The old man smiled and said, "I believe many of you know me. You can call me Old Barto. This time, it is still Old Barto who will host this top-level event for everyone!"

"Congratulations! According to statistics, the number of participants in this auction reached 131 million, with the exact figure being 1316039, which is more than 100,000 more than the last one!"

"No more nonsense!"

"Next, we will begin this auction."

But before the official auction begins, as usual, we'll have a pre-auction auction as a warm-up.

As he spoke, the bald old man with the tortoise shell pointed to the side.

'Wow—'

Suddenly, a huge screen was projected onto the side.

A magnificent galaxy appeared on the screen.

Immediately afterwards, images of galaxies flashed by, each containing numerous life-bearing planets.

Within a span of half a minute, images of a total of 36 galaxies appeared.

Barto shouted passionately, "This is the territory of Iresia!"

"The territory of Iresia has 36 star systems and was previously the territory of the 'Lord of Iresia'."

Unfortunately, the Lord of the Irisia Realm perished on the battlefield beyond the realm, and the Irisia family prepared to sell their territory.

The highlight of this auction is the Issia Territory!

The Irisia family has now completely withdrawn from the Irisia territory, so customers who purchase the land need not have any concerns.

Furthermore, after the purchase, the territory of Aresia can be renamed once and will be under the protection of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.

'territory?'

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Jin, sitting in the huge seat, raised an eyebrow.

The Qianwu Universe Kingdom has a vast territory, encompassing more than 13,000 star regions, with over 100 million star systems within its borders.

Countless powerful figures fall every day, and it is not uncommon for a realm lord to fall and his family to auction off his territory.

Following the original story's trajectory, a small star field will even be auctioned at the next Elementary Qianwu Auction.
