729: Chapter 689 Sky Crystal Rock_1 729: Chapter 689 Sky Crystal Rock_1 After taking his seat, Lu Chuan began waiting for the auction to start.

Qin Xiong looked at Lu Chuan and asked, “You’re so eager to attend this auction, what are you here for?”

“For some sword-casting materials, these materials are quite rare and difficult to buy elsewhere, so I can only try my luck at the Lu family’s auction.”

“Alright, but you’d better not reveal your identity.

If people here find out you’re from the Dongfang family, you will definitely be driven out.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “I know.”

Soon, the auction officially began.

A man dressed in a red robe, with a radiant smile on his face, walked onto the stage.

“A warm welcome to everyone!”

“The Lu family’s auction starts today!”

“We will be auctioning for three consecutive days, with items including rare treasures that are absolutely precious and eye-catching.

Prepare your wealth and gold to enjoy this auction!”

He shouted loudly, and then turned to a staff member at the side and said, “Please bring up the first item for auction.”

“Ladies and gentlemen, we will not waste words or have any opening ceremony.

Today, we go straight into the auction.

I know you all come for these precious collectibles, so naturally, we will not waste time on idle talk!”

“Hello everyone, I am your host, Lu Hao!”

“Now, the first item we’re putting up for auction is!”

“A bottle of precious Heavenly Spirit Pills!”

“If you are in the Martial King Realm, or have a strong warrior in your family or among your friends, and if you want to enhance your strength, then this bottle of Heavenly Spirit Pills is undoubtedly the best assistance for you.”

“If you are below Grade 5 in the Martial Prince Realm, upon taking this elixir pill, you will break through one grade immediately, and if you are Grade 5 or higher in the Martial Prince Realm, it will help you break through your bottlenecks!”

“Such a treasure, I hope you don’t miss out.”

“The starting price is a hundred taels of gold!”

The crowd began to buzz, feeling that the price was somewhat expensive.

But the Heavenly Spirit Pills are incredibly hard to come by, and the materials needed to make them are also very rare; getting a bottle now, even if not for immediate use but as a backup, is quite good.

So, many people started raising their paddles.

“One hundred and ten taels of gold!”

“One hundred and twenty taels of gold!”

“…”

The price steadily climbed, and fewer people continued to raise their paddles.

At that moment, Qin Shuang raised her paddle, “Two hundred taels of gold!”

She exclaimed loudly.

Then, she turned her head to look at Qin Xiong, “Dad, I am now at Grade 2 in the Martial Prince Realm but have been unable to make any further progress for a while.

Perhaps this elixir pill can help me break through the bottleneck.”

Qin Xiong nodded slightly, “Then go ahead and take it, no problem.”

No one else called out a higher bid after two hundred taels of gold was called out three or four times, and finally, it was secured by Qin Shuang.

After securing the Heavenly Spirit Pills, Qin Shuang’s face showed an excited smile.

People nearby couldn’t help but be drawn by the attractiveness of Qin Shuang’s beautiful face.

As Qin Xiong’s eldest daughter, not only was her background high-status, but she was also tall and beautiful.

In Myriad Stars City, she had quite a lot of suitors.

In this auction alone, there were no less than ten suitors.

Of course, Qin Shuang didn’t fancy any of them; her criteria for choosing a spouse were at least the young martial artists from the Dongfang family and Lu family, these two powers.

Soon, the next auction item was brought up.

The starting price was quite high, as much as five hundred taels of gold.

Lu Chuan looked at Qin Xiong and asked, “Do you have enough gold on you?”

“Of course, enough.

If it’s not enough, I’ll just have the servants bring more over.”

“Our Qin family’s assets are quite formidable in Myriad Stars City.”

“So my two daughters can bid as they please and take home whatever they win.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly and said, “That’s good, then.

In that case, when I want to bid on something later, I’ll trouble you to pay for it.”

“Afterward, I’ll have Dongfang Cheng reimburse you for the money spent,”

At these words, Qin Xiong gave an awkward smile.

“Alright…

no problem…”

He felt in his heart that he probably wouldn’t get the money back.

How could he possibly go and ask Dongfang Cheng for money?

That would be too hurtful to their friendship.

So, in the end, it’s likely that the matter would just fizzle out.

One after another, auction items were presented, and paddles were raised all over the VIP seating area.

The people here were all wealthy and bold, so every item brought up sparked fierce competition.

Lu Chuan sat in his seat, so bored he was almost falling asleep.

Suddenly, a voice startled him.

“The next item up for auction is called Sky Crystal Rock!”

“It’s a very rare natural mineral that, when added to the forging of equipment, will greatly improve its quality.”

“Not only that, but it also has many other uses.

In short, this forging material is extremely valuable, with a starting bid of one thousand taels of gold!”

Instantly, the venue buzzed with discussion.

A forging material, with a starting bid of one thousand taels of gold.

This price could buy a nice set of equipment!

But no one questioned the Lu family’s pricing—they all agreed that the material must be very rare and have astonishing effects to warrant such a price.

Regrettably, among those present, there were few top-level swordsmiths, so naturally, they were unaware of the importance of this material.

But Lu Chuan was different; he knew deeply how important the Sky Crystal Rock was to him.

He had to obtain it!

Immediately, Lu Chuan raised his paddle.

“I bid twelve hundred taels of gold!”

Seeing that Lu Chuan had finally raised his paddle, Qin Xiong became curious, “Is this what you came to the auction for?”

“It’s not obvious, but I didn’t expect you to be a smith.

Otherwise, you wouldn’t be interested in this thing.”

Lu Chuan chuckled.

“This is very important to me; I must have it!”

“At that moment, someone in the corner raised their paddle.”

“I bid two thousand taels of gold!”

As soon as these words were out, the whole crowd was in an uproar.

“Two thousand taels of gold, that’s a huge jump in price!”

“This person is ruthless; it’s like a killing blow!”

“To bid two thousand taels of gold for a material, that’s a huge loss!”

“More than a huge loss, it’s a massive loss!”

“It seems that this guy is really wealthy and bold, otherwise he wouldn’t have the courage to bid like this.”

Lu Chuan frowned slightly, looking towards the person in the corner.

The individual was wearing a black hood, with an indistinct face, but their aura seemed very calm, not like someone causing trouble for no reason.

Lu Chuan frowned slightly and raised his paddle again.

“I bid two thousand one hundred taels of gold.”

Qin Xiong’s mouth twitched, feeling his heart bleeding.

Losing over two thousand taels of gold would be a huge loss.

Then, the person raised their paddle once more.

“I bid three thousand taels of gold!”

This time, the whole venue fell silent.

They were all stunned, speechless with shock.

“Three thousand taels…

Is she crazy?”

“This person is definitely a lunatic, to call out three thousand taels!”

“Something’s not right, this is too strange!”
