Chapter 56 — The Auction III

Chapter 56: Chapter 56 — The Auction III

The auction had become hotter.

One ancient treasure after another had appeared.

Ancient Grade Pills.

Enlightenment Tea.

Life-Extension Pills.

Treasures that had disappeared from the Mortal World for countless years were being brought out one after another.

By now, nobody in the auction hall dared to underestimate the Ten Thousand Realms Auction.

Every guest understood one thing.

The treasures being presented here were not ordinary.

They were treasures that could change the destiny of an entire force.

Lin Yuxian stood calmly on the auction platform.

She looked across the hall.

"The next item."

The entire auction hall immediately became quiet.

Lin Yuxian raised her hand.

A jade box appeared.

The moment the box opened—

A terrifying Sword Dao aura swept across the auction hall.

BOOM!

Countless swords in the possession of the guests began trembling.

Several cultivators immediately stood up.

Their expressions changed.

"What is that?"

"Such terrifying Sword Intent!"

"A Peak Mahayana Realm Sword Dao aura!"

Lin Yuxian calmly looked at the crowd.

"The next item is a complete Supreme Grade Sword Inheritance."

Silence.

The entire auction hall became completely silent.

Lin Yuxian continued.

"This inheritance originated from a Peak Mahayana Realm Sword Cultivator."

"It contains his complete Sword Dao comprehension, his cultivation method, his sword techniques, and his understanding of Sword Intent."

The expressions of every sword cultivator changed.

A complete inheritance from a Peak Mahayana Realm Sword Cultivator.

That was far more valuable than an ordinary cultivation technique.

A powerful sword cultivator could use such an inheritance to completely transform his own path.

An elderly cultivator immediately raised his hand.

"50 billion."

Another voice immediately followed.

"60 billion."

"70 billion."

"80 billion."

The bidding started rapidly.

Lin Yuxian remained calm.

Then—

"100 billion."

Old Man Qingyuan raised his hand.

The hall became slightly quieter.

Old Man Qingyuan’s eyes were fixed on the jade box.

His relaxed expression had disappeared.

For the first time since entering the auction, he looked completely serious.

The Sword Dao inheritance was exactly what he needed.

Zhao Wuhen glanced toward him.

Then raised his hand.

"110 billion."

Old Man Qingyuan looked at him.

"Little Zhao."

Zhao Wuhen smiled.

"I also have an interest in Sword Dao."

Old Man Qingyuan shook his head.

"120 billion."

Zhao Wuhen:

"130 billion."

Old Man Qingyuan:

"140 billion."

Zhao Wuhen:

"150 billion."

The hall became silent.

Old Man Qingyuan stared at the jade box.

Then slowly raised his hand.

"170 billion."

Zhao Wuhen hesitated.

He looked toward Old Man Qingyuan.

The old man simply smiled.

"You can continue."

Zhao Wuhen laughed.

"Then I’ll stop."

He lowered his hand.

Old Man Qingyuan had won.

Lin Yuxian raised her hand.

"170 billion Top Grade Spirit Stones."

"Going once."

Silence.

"Going twice."

Still nobody spoke.

Then—

"Sold."

The complete Supreme Grade Sword Inheritance belonged to Old Man Qingyuan.

Old Man Qingyuan slowly exhaled.

For an independent cultivator like him, this inheritance was priceless.

He had finally found something capable of pushing his Sword Dao to another level.

---

Lin Yuxian didn’t give the guests much time to recover.

"The next item."

The hall immediately became quiet again.

This time—

Five enormous jade crystals appeared above the auction platform.

They floated in the air.

Each one contained terrifying Spiritual Qi.

The moment they appeared—

The Spiritual Qi inside the auction hall became several times denser.

Even the powerful cultivators couldn’t hide their shock.

Lin Yuxian calmly announced:

"Five Supreme Grade Spiritual Veins."

The hall exploded.

"What?!"

"Five?"

"Supreme Grade Spiritual Veins?"

"Five Supreme Grade Spiritual Veins are being auctioned together?!"

Even the Forbidden forces became visibly serious.

A Supreme Grade Spiritual Vein was already enough to establish a terrifying cultivation ground.

Five of them together...

Could completely transform the environment of an entire territory.

A force that obtained them could create a cultivation paradise.

Lin Yuxian continued.

"The five Spiritual Veins are being auctioned together."

"The starting price is..."

She paused.

"100 billion Top Grade Spirit Stones."

Silence.

Then—

"110 billion."

A Holy Land elder raised his hand.

"130 billion."

Another force followed.

"150 billion."

"180 billion."

"200 billion."

The bidding immediately became fierce.

A 7-Star force raised its hand.

"220 billion."

Another followed.

"250 billion."

The Holy Lands began competing.

"280 billion."

"300 billion."

"330 billion."

The numbers continued climbing.

Then—

"350 billion."

The voice came from the Blood Moon Sect.

The entire hall became quiet.

Mo Xuehan sat calmly.

She had already spent an enormous amount earlier.

Yet she clearly had no intention of giving up.

A representative from another Forbidden force raised his hand.

"380 billion."

Mo Xuehan:

"400 billion."

"420 billion."

Mo Xuehan:

"450 billion."

The hall became silent.

The other forces had already withdrawn.

The bidding had become a battle between the most powerful forces in the room.

Another Forbidden force raised its hand.

"470 billion."

Mo Xuehan remained calm.

Then—

"500 billion."

Silence.

Complete silence.

No one raised their hand.

The five Supreme Grade Spiritual Veins were worth an enormous amount.

But 500 billion Top Grade Spirit Stones was an equally terrifying price.

Lin Yuxian waited.

"500 billion."

"Going once."

Silence.

"Going twice."

Still silence.

"Sold."

The five Supreme Grade Spiritual Veins belonged to the Blood Moon Sect.

Mo Xuehan calmly leaned back.

She had obtained five Supreme Grade Spiritual Veins.

The Blood Moon Sect’s cultivation environment was about to undergo a terrifying transformation.

But nobody had time to think about it for long.

Because Lin Yuxian had not yet announced the final item.

She slowly looked across the hall.

"The final item."

The entire auction hall became completely silent.

Every cultivator straightened.

Nobody spoke.

Nobody moved.

Everyone stared toward the auction platform.

The final item.

The treasure that had been mentioned on the invitation.

The treasure that had caused countless rumors to spread throughout the Mortal World.

Lin Yuxian raised her hand.

A mysterious egg slowly appeared above the auction platform.

It was enormous.

Its surface was covered with ancient golden patterns.

Yet there was no overwhelming aura.

No terrifying pressure.

It simply floated quietly in the air.

The hall remained silent.

Lin Yuxian looked at the egg.

Then calmly said:

"True Dragon Egg."

Silence.

Absolute silence.

Nobody reacted for several seconds.

Then—

"What?"

Someone stood up.

"True Dragon?"

Another cultivator’s breathing became heavy.

"A True Dragon Egg?"

The entire hall exploded.

"Impossible!"

"True Dragons disappeared countless years ago!"

"Is it really a True Dragon?"

"Could it be a dragon beast with a powerful bloodline?"

Lin Yuxian remained completely calm.

"The Ten Thousand Realms Auction guarantees the authenticity of every item."

She paused.

"No further information regarding its origin will be provided."

The hall became even quieter.

A genuine True Dragon.

The auction had actually produced one.

The rumors were true.

The invitation hadn’t been exaggerating.

The Ten Thousand Realms Auction really possessed a True Dragon Egg.

An ancient cultivator stared at the egg.

"How long will it take to hatch?"

Lin Yuxian didn’t answer.

Another cultivator asked:

"What cultivation will it possess after hatching?"

Again—

Silence.

Lin Yuxian simply said:

"The auction house does not provide additional information."

That answer made the guests even more curious.

Because nobody knew.

What if the dragon required thousands of years to hatch?

What if it took tens of thousands?

What if the dragon was powerful but needed countless years to mature?

Nobody knew.

And yet...

It was still a True Dragon.

Lin Yuxian slowly raised her hand.

"The starting price."

She paused.

"100 billion Top Grade Spirit Stones."

The first bid immediately followed.

"110 billion."

The hall became tense.

"150 billion."

A Holy Land representative raised his hand.

"200 billion."

Another force followed.

"250 billion."

"300 billion."

"350 billion."

The bidding became increasingly fierce.

Then—

"400 billion."

A Forbidden force.

"450 billion."

Another.

"500 billion."

The hall fell silent.

The Holy Lands gradually stopped bidding.

The 7-Star forces had already withdrawn.

Only the most powerful forces remained.

"550 billion."

"600 billion."

"650 billion."

"700 billion."

"750 billion."

"800 billion."

The atmosphere became suffocating.

Every bid represented an unimaginable fortune.

Then—

"820 billion."

The hall became silent again.

"850 billion."

"880 billion."

"900 billion."

At 900 billion, several bidders finally hesitated.

The True Dragon was priceless.

But 900 billion Top Grade Spirit Stones was also an astronomical amount.

What if it took thousands of years to hatch?

What if the dragon’s cultivation after hatching wasn’t as powerful as they imagined?

The risks were enormous.

Then—

"950 billion."

The Shi Family’s representative raised his hand.

The hall became silent.

Another Forbidden force immediately followed.

"980 billion."

Shi Wuheng’s eyes narrowed.

He personally raised his hand.

"1 trillion."

The entire auction hall froze.

Silence.

Absolute silence.

One trillion Top Grade Spirit Stones.

The remaining Forbidden forces stared toward Shi Wuheng.

They wanted the True Dragon.

Of course they did.

But one trillion...

Was too much.

What if the egg took thousands of years to hatch?

What if it took tens of thousands?

Their families could afford the price.

But was the True Dragon worth sacrificing one trillion Top Grade Spirit Stones for an unknown future?

No one immediately raised their hand.

Shi Wuheng remained completely calm.

He simply waited.

Mo Xuehan’s eyes remained fixed on the egg.

She clearly wanted it.

But after several seconds—

She slowly lowered her hand.

Qin Taixuan also remained silent.

The other Forbidden forces made the same decision.

Nobody was willing to go higher.

Lin Yuxian looked across the hall.

"1 trillion Top Grade Spirit Stones."

"Going once."

Silence.

"Going twice."

Still nobody spoke.

Lin Yuxian smiled faintly.

"Sold."

The True Dragon Egg belonged to the Shi Family.

The auction hall remained silent.

Shi Wuheng slowly exhaled.

He had just spent 1 trillion Top Grade Spirit Stones.

But he had obtained a genuine True Dragon Egg.

Then—

Lin Yuxian suddenly looked toward him.

"Patriarch Shi."

Shi Wuheng raised his head.

"Yes?"

Lin Yuxian calmly said:

"If the Shi Family wishes..."

"We can assist you in hatching the True Dragon Egg immediately."

The entire hall froze.

"What?"

"Immediately?"

"You can hatch it now?"

Even Shi Wuheng looked surprised.

He had expected the egg to remain dormant for an unknown amount of time.

Yet the Ten Thousand Realms Auction could hatch it immediately?

He stood.

"If that’s possible..."

Lin Yuxian nodded.

"It is."

Shi Wuheng took a deep breath.

"Then please."

Lin Yuxian raised her hand.

The True Dragon Egg slowly floated toward her.

The entire hall became silent.

Every cultivator stared at the egg.

Lin Yuxian placed one hand above it.

A mysterious power descended.

The ancient golden patterns on the egg suddenly began glowing.

Crack.

A tiny sound echoed throughout the auction hall.

Everyone’s eyes widened.

Crack!

Another crack appeared.

Then—

BOOM!

A terrifying aura erupted from the egg.

The entire auction hall trembled.

The Spiritual Qi violently surged.

The surrounding laws began shaking.

Every powerful cultivator in the hall immediately stood up.

"What is that?!"

"This pressure..."

"Impossible!"

The egg cracked open.

A tiny golden claw emerged.

Then another.

A small head slowly pushed through the broken shell.

Golden scales.

Sharp horns.

Ancient eyes.

A genuine Divine Dragon.

The moment it completely emerged—

BOOM!

An overwhelming aura swept through the entire auction hall.

The expressions of countless cultivators changed.

Even the Forbidden forces became solemn.

Then—

Someone whispered in disbelief:

"Body Integration Realm..."

Another cultivator stared at the young dragon.

"Peak Body Integration Realm!"

Silence.

Complete silence.

The True Dragon had just been born.

And it was already at the Peak Body Integration Realm.

The auction had not lied.

The invitation had not lied.

The Ten Thousand Realms Auction had truly possessed a True Dragon.

And the Shi Family had just obtained it.

For 1 trillion Top Grade Spirit Stones.

Shi Wuheng stared at the young dragon.

His expression slowly changed.

Shock.

Disbelief.

Then—

A smile appeared on his face.

He had made the right decision.

Across the hall, Mo Xuehan and Qin Taixuan remained silent.

For the first time—

They felt that perhaps they should have continued bidding.

But it was already too late.

The auction had ended.

And the final treasure had already found its owner.

Lin Yuxian looked toward the guests.

"The Ten Thousand Realms Auction has officially concluded."

Nobody spoke.

The hall remained completely silent.

Everyone was still staring at the True Dragon.

The auction had begun with ancient treasures.

It had ended with a genuine Divine Dragon.

And the name of the Ten Thousand Realms Auction...

Would soon shake the entire Mortal World.

Spirit Stone Conversion

1 Middle Grade Spirit Stone = 100 Low Grade Spirit Stones

1 High Grade Spirit Stone = 100 Middle Grade Spirit Stones

1 Top Grade Spirit Stone = 100 High Grade Spirit Stones

Therefore:

1 Top Grade Spirit Stone = 1,000,000 Low Grade Spirit Stones

All auction prices may be paid using Low Grade, Middle Grade, High Grade, or Top Grade Spirit Stones, according to their corresponding value.
