Swallowing the Stars: Eternal Glory

Chapter 94 Golden Leaves of the Ancient Tree of Kras (Part 1)

Three hours later.

In the center of the auction hall appeared the figure of Barto, the bald old man with a tortoise shell.

"Welcome everyone to this year's Qianwu Auction!"

"Thank you to Virtual Universe Company and the Qianwu Universe Kingdom for their strong support!"

"This time, it's still Barto who will be hosting this top-level event."

"The previous Ganwu Auction had 1316039 participants, while the data for this auction has just been tallied: 1823960! That's more than 50 more than last time!"

Barto shouted passionately.

"No more nonsense!"

"As usual, before the official auction begins, let's have a warm-up auction first."

As he spoke, Barto pointed to the side.

Suddenly, a huge screen projection appeared.

On the large screen, images of magnificent galaxies flashed by rapidly, with over six hundred galaxies appearing in succession. Then the image zoomed out to reveal a star field.

"This is the Tana Star Region."

"Among the more than 13,000 star regions in our Qianwu Universe Kingdom, this is a small star region that ranks low. The entire Tana Star Region has a total of 668 star systems."

"The pre-auction event of this session will feature the Tana Star Region!"

Starting bid: 300 units of mixed yuan! Each bid must be at least 1 unit of mixed yuan.

As Barto finished speaking, a starting bid of 300 Mixed Yuan Units appeared below the image of the Tana star system on the large screen.

'It's useless.'

Lu Jin thought to himself.

In the universe, the gap in strength between the weak and the strong is so vast that quantity can hardly compensate for the difference in quality.

Lu Jin had his own agenda when he bought the Avalon system, intending to let the Chinese people have exclusive control of Earth.

Unless the Earth's population reaches a point where it can no longer contain the Earth, there will be no need for further immigration and expansion.

Moreover, Earth is special; even the planets within a thousand light-year radius have been terraformed.

Even if immigration expansion were to take place, Lu Jin would prioritize transforming these desolate planets into habitable life-bearing planets rather than directly migrating Earthlings to other star systems.

Moreover, once he becomes a big shot in the future, it won't be a problem for him to make a star field his own territory, let alone the entire Qianwu Star Region.

However, Lu Jin's lack of intention to make a move does not mean that no one in the Tana Star Region wants him.

After a bidding war, the Tana Starfield was sold for 1000 Mixed Yuan Units and acquired by an Immortal.

Subsequently, the Qianwu Auction officially began.

The Primary Qianwu Auction lasted for ten days, with a total of 50 lots in total, excluding the 100 final lots.

Lu Jin didn't make a move on any of the 50 auction items that didn't meet his standards.

Luo Feng did take action, purchasing two units of Lan Ke fruit to cultivate Mo Yun Vine.

They also acquired the Divine Weapon they had been longing for, the fifth-tier telekinetic flying weapon 'Dark Cloud Shuttle', plus a fifth-tier top-grade Force Battle Blade and Shield.

"Ladies and gentlemen, all 50 batches of auction items, totaling 5 pieces, have been auctioned off."

"Now, we've reached the final climax of this auction—the auction of the last 100 items!"

"These 100 final auction items are all either unique or incredibly valuable, and each item has a starting price of 0!"

"The following is the first and final item."

"To be ranked first in the final auction, this item is definitely one of the top three most valuable items in this auction—a golden leaf from the Kras Ancient Tree!" Barto, the auctioneer, shouted in the center of the auction hall.

With a starting price of zero, the auction organizers weren't worried about losing money.

If there are few bidders and the auction price is too low, failing to meet the organizer's expectations, the organizer will arrange for someone to win the bid, so there is no situation where someone else can snag a bargain at a low price.

At the same time, an image of a golden leaf from the ancient Kras tree appeared on the large screen next to it.

This is a seemingly ordinary golden leaf, but the leaf itself possesses a strange and magical power.

'coming! ’

Lu Jin thought to himself.

The universe is vast and full of wonders. Even the main intelligence of the virtual universe wouldn't dare say it can know the exact function of all matter in the universe.

However, Fatty actually knew what this 'Golden Leaf of the Ancient Tree of Kras' was.

In the universe, apart from ordinary flowers, grasses and trees, plants can be roughly divided into three major categories.

One type is special life forms such as the World Tree and the Snow Lotus.

Another type is auxiliary plants such as *Moyun Teng* and *Shaluo Hua*.

The last type is resource-based plants such as Lanco fruit tree, life fruit tree, Zichen Bailuo tree, and Qingguang Bailu wood.

These resource-type plants can be harvested for their fruits and leaves as cultivation resources, or their branches and stems can be cut as materials for refining treasures.

The Kras ancient tree is a relatively precious resource plant, whose main benefit lies in its golden leaves.

Consuming the golden leaves of the Kras Ancient Tree can significantly increase the affinity with the eight lower-level fundamental laws and slightly increase the affinity with the two higher-level fundamental laws, thus assisting cultivators in comprehending the fundamental laws.

Of course, the golden leaves of the ancient tree of Kras can appear at the primary-level dry witch auction.

This means that its effectiveness is relatively limited; otherwise, it wouldn't be up to world lords and ordinary immortals to fight over it.

The increased affinity with all laws is not permanent, but rather a temporary increase.

Furthermore, the affinity enhancement effect of the Golden Leaf on the eight lower-level fundamental laws can surpass the level of the favored fundamental laws.

However, its affinity enhancement effect on the two superior fundamental laws can only reach the level of a favored fundamental law at most.

Furthermore, once the mastery of higher laws reaches the level of recognition by the fundamental laws, the golden leaves of the Kras Ancient Tree will completely lose their effect.

The effects are temporary, with an upper limit to the effects of affinity enhancement from higher-level laws, and a limited range of applications.

These three factors limit the value of the Kras ancient tree golden leaves.

However, its merits outweigh its flaws, and it still possesses considerable value even for immortals.

After all, the vast majority of immortals are not at the level of being favored by the fundamental laws, even though they have a high affinity with the higher laws.

For example, a peak Immortal Military Lord who has accumulated profound knowledge may temporarily increase their affinity with higher-level laws, and may even have a chance to gain initial recognition from higher-level origin laws and achieve the title of Marquis Immortal.

In terms of cost-effectiveness, the best time to take the Klas Ancient Tree Golden Leaf is when one faces a bottleneck in one's fundamental laws.

At this moment, an immortal, unable to contain himself, made a bid.

The base price of 0 Mixed Yuan Units displayed on the big screen instantly changed to 1000 Mixed Yuan Units.

The first thing they did was offer the price of a small star system.

The next moment, the bidding price for the Kras Ancient Tree Golden Leaf changed again and began to rise rapidly.

2000 Mixed Units 3000 Mixed Units 4000 Mixed Units
Seeing this, Lu Jin picked up the black token and entered a price.

Immediately, the bidding price for the Kras Ancient Tree Golden Leaf soared to 8000 Mixed Yuan Units.
