Chapter 314: Chapter 314: The Auction Begins

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am Gu Changhe, the auctioneer for this session," Master Gu said from the auction stage.

His voice, accompanied by his Inner Strength, filled the entire auction house, effectively silencing the chaotic murmurs.

The auction hall gradually quieted down as everyone turned their attention toward Master Gu.

"Since I am hosting this auction, let’s simplify the process. We’ll skip over the opening remarks and get straight to the auction,"

Master Gu stated.

"Good."

"That’s great, I like getting straight to the point."

Master Gu’s words were met with a full round of applause. Clearly, everyone was there with a clear purpose: to bid on items, with no fondness for unrelated procedures.

"Now, let’s introduce our first item for auction today."

"A hundred-year-old Tianshan Snow Lotus."

"This Tianshan Snow Lotus, as the name implies, comes from the Tianshan Mountains. As of today, it has survived for approximately one hundred to one hundred and ten years. It is quite rare and acts as a main ingredient for some elixirs. Ordinary people can eat it to extend their lifespan, and it is greatly beneficial to martial artists for their cultivation..."

After a brief introduction, Master Gu continued, "This hundred-year-old Tianshan Snow Lotus will start at ten million, with each bid increasing by no less than one million. Now, let the bidding begin."

With Master Gu’s words concluding, people immediately started bidding.

"Eleven million."

"Twelve million."

"Fifteen million."

...

The price quickly reached twenty-three million and was still steadily climbing.

This was a real eye-opener for Su Luo.

If a hundred-year-old medicinal herb was really this valuable, then he was indeed lucky to have obtained a hundred-year-old herb in Jiangbei.

However, Su Luo soon realized that while both were hundred-year-old medicinal herbs, the hundred-year-old Tianshan Snow Lotus was obviously much rarer than the Hundred-year-old Ginseng and others, and hence, more valuable in comparison.

Especially since the Snow Lotus still held vitality and could potentially survive if replanted.

With that thought,

Su Luo placed his bid directly.

"Fifty million."

Using the bidding device, he directly offered his price, which almost doubled the current bid from the twenty-million range.

As soon as the new bid appeared, the atmosphere in the venue solidified instantaneously.

Although this auction attracted martial artists, including many grandmasters, the cultivation of a martial artist is actually very costly. For many martial artists, advancing through arduous cultivation is too slow, so they rely on various medicinal baths and the purchase of medicinal herbs or elixirs... The saying goes "scholars can be poor, but martial artists must be rich," and this is exactly why.

One could become a scholar without spending much money, but martial arts practice could cost a fortune, with a single herb or elixir amounting to hundreds of thousands or even millions. Even though martial artists find it easier to earn money, and grandmasters usually have their own forces and businesses, spending tens of millions is not something many martial artists or even grandmasters can easily afford.

"Fifty-one million,"

Someone placed a tentative bid.

"Sixty million,"

Su Luo directly bid again.

He was determined to get the Tianshan Snow Lotus; if it were just an ordinary hundred-year-old Tianshan Snow Lotus, it certainly wouldn’t be worth the price. However, Su Luo had the Great Dao Treasure Vase, containing Divine Liquid that could enable the Tianshan Snow Lotus to be replanted and age further.

Eventually, it might even be cultivated into a Millennium Divine Medicine.

So, let alone sixty million, even if the price were doubled, Su Luo wouldn’t blink an eye.

"Who is that person in VIP Box No.2? So wealthy and imposing?"

People around were puzzled.

But from Su Luo’s bid, everyone could infer that he was resolute in obtaining that hundred-year-old Tianshan Snow Lotus.

Therefore, no one else competed with Su Luo for it.

In the end, Master Gu’s final hammer fell, and the hundred-year-old Tianshan Snow Lotus went to Su Luo.

"Mr. Su, you... truly have vast financial resources."

Even Huang Qingyu, an Elder of the Medicine God Temple who was by no means short on money, couldn’t help but exclaim.

"It’s worth it," Su Luo said with a faint smile.

Meanwhile, he was also feeling fortunate that Chen Boxiong hadn’t transferred him the ten billion; otherwise, had he received ten billion, he wouldn’t have produced the Ageless Pill on a whim.

And looking at the current situation, ten billion... might truly not be enough.

After all, the first item auctioned at this event was the hundred-year-old Tianshan Snow Lotus, and the value of the items to follow would definitely not be less than the Snow Lotus. Su Luo felt that there were surely more expenses ahead.

Especially since there might be competition with the Dragon Soul Chamber of Commerce for that map.

After the hundred-year-old Tianshan Snow Lotus was auctioned off to Su Luo, Master Gu began introducing the second auction item.

However, several consecutive items, although also precious, especially two types of elixirs conducive to cultivation that prompted many Grandmasters to enter into a frenzied bidding war, pushing the price over seventy million...

But for Su Luo, those held no appeal.

Su Luo also noticed that all nine VIP boxes were occupied, but so far, aside from him obtaining the first Tianshan Snow Lotus, no one else in the VIP boxes had bid.

After another two items were auctioned off, Su Luo’s attention was captured once again.

"The next item we’re going to auction is a martial arts technique called "Overlord Blade". As everyone knows, martial arts are divided into Sky, Earth, Profound, and Yellow levels, and just like cultivation techniques, they are secrets not disclosed by many powers, fundamental to the foundation of clans and sects. This "Overlord Blade" is a saber technique, and the complete "Overlord Blade" is an Earth-level Martial Arts technique,"

Master Gu spoke out.

Upon hearing this.

The auction venue instantly exploded with excitement.

It is well-known that cultivation techniques and martial arts are divided into Sky, Earth, Profound, and Yellow levels.

Sky is the highest, Yellow the lowest.

Sky-level techniques and martial arts are almost unseen, at least to the vast majority of Martial Artists, they belong to the realm of legends. The best they can hope to understand is Earth-level martial arts.

Even among the major families in the Capital City, what they inherited were merely Earth-level cultivation techniques and Earth-level martial arts. And now, this auction presents an Earth-level martial arts technique?

Even Su Luo was somewhat surprised.

He was studying a cultivation technique for immortals, and currently following a mysterious woman, practicing a Divine Art suitable for a Chaos Body. Therefore, martial arts of any level, including Sky, Earth, Profound, and Yellow, were of no interest to him, but he was still shocked that Dongsheng Auction House dared to auction an Earth-level martial arts technique.

He knew just by thinking with his toes that if this "Overlord Blade" was truly an Earth-level martial arts technique, the powerhouses present would probably scratch their heads raw bidding for it.
