Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 928 - 928 888 The Auction Begins

928: Chapter 888 The Auction Begins 928: Chapter 888 The Auction Begins Lu Chuan and Dongfang Cheng left the house together, walking on the streets toward the direction of Heaven’s Blessing Auction.

Under the glow of the setting sun, the streets took on a crimson hue.

Walking in the sunset, Lu Chuan leisurely arrived in front of Heaven’s Blessing Auction House.

There were quite a few guests visiting, and as soon as Lu Chuan arrived at the entrance, he was surrounded by spectators, and many approached him to greet him.

A man dressed in green finery bent at the waist as he approached Lu Chuan, looking at him with a beaming smile.

“Young Master Lu has arrived.

Please come in.

Having Young Master Lu grace the auction with his presence certainly adds luster to our event!”

Lu Chuan simply smiled lightly, not paying much attention to the people around, and walked straight into the auction.

The auction hall was very spacious, capable of accommodating hundreds of people in the audience seats.

On the spacious stage, there was a red carpet laid out, and hanging overhead were chandeliers made of special material crystals, with candles burning inside the crystals, emitting a soft and splendid light.

People gradually entered and took their seats on the neatly arranged mahogany chairs, waiting for the auction to begin.

After Lu Chuan and Dongfang Cheng entered, they immediately became the focus of everyone’s attention.

Lu Chuan slowly descended the stairs and took his place at the forefront in a VIP throne.

Lu Chuan and Dongfang Cheng sat in the front row, and no one dared to raise any objections.

After sitting down, they waited a moment for everyone to arrive.

At that moment, a man wearing an animal-skin robe, who looked to be from a primitive tribe, stepped forward.

“Good evening everyone, my name is Zhu Laowu, a member of the travelling merchants.

We have traveled all the way here from the giant trees forest in the north.”

“We come from a tribe, so the items we bring are more natural, mostly rough processed.”

“I am but a simple man, so I will directly present the treasures we brought for your appreciation and auction.”

Behind him, a girl came forward, pushing a cart, looking timidly at the audience below.

The auctioneer picked up a piece of fruit from the cart.

A round fruit, similar to a small melon, but emitting an enticing aroma, instantly attracted everyone’s attention.

“This is just an appetizer, a local specialty from our region, a type of melon fruit.

Eating it can replenish a great amount of physical strength.”

“After a fierce battle, when the Spiritual Energy inside is depleted, one can eat a mouthful of this sweet fruit to restore their Spiritual Energy.”

Lu Chuan held his chin, curiously examining the fruit.

“It looks good.

We replenish Spiritual Energy by drinking elixir pills, but they actually eat melons,” Dongfang Cheng found it novel.

It wasn’t long before people began raising their paddles, bidding on this first treasure.

Lu Chuan did not raise his paddle, as he wasn’t interested in this item.

Even if he were to bid, it would only be to taste it.

“The second treasure is a bone club!”

He took out a white long stick almost two meters in length.

“This is crafted from the leg bone of a giant spirit rhino, extremely hard, capable of crushing rocks.”

Lu Chuan slightly frowned; this item was also primitive and wild, and of no use to him.

A stick polished from a bone was not the type of weapon he favored.

Clearly, there were far fewer people raising their paddles this time.

The third item was then brought forward.

“This is an extremely rare Sky Snow Lotus seed.

Consuming it will speed up cultivation, aiding in breaking through realms!

It’s a peerless type of food.”

“The Sky Snow Lotus grows in high mountain hot springs.

It blooms once every five years and is extremely rare.

Every time we search for it, it costs the lives of our tribesmen to find it.”

“So, my starting bid for this lotus seed is 30,000 taels of gold!”

“Its effects are almost identical to those of the Heavenly Spirit Pill, making it extremely useful for Martial Artists above the Martial King Realm seeking to break through their current Realm.”

“Most importantly, it carries no burden on the body, and if you’re lucky, by accumulating a dozen or so lotus seeds and consuming them during your breakthrough, it guarantees a 100 percent successful breakthrough!”

30,000 taels of gold was already quite cheap.

If it were a Heavenly Spirit Pill, it would be at least 100,000 taels of gold to start.

For a time, the crowd below stirred, each beginning to raise their bids.

Lu Chuan, however, waited quietly.

He did not need to replenish his Spiritual Energy, for the Divine Tree branch was supplying all the Spiritual Energy he needed.

Thus, this lotus seed held little attraction for Lu Chuan.

On the other hand, Dongfang Cheng, full of enthusiasm, raised his bidding placard.

The originally lively auction house suddenly quieted down.

As soon as everyone saw Dongfang Cheng raising his placard, they all fell silent, no longer uttering a word.

None of them dared to compete with Dongfang Cheng in bidding, especially since Dongfang Cheng was seated next to Lu Chuan.

With one bid from Dongfang Cheng, he immediately won the lotus seed.

Immediately after, the host brought out another treasure.

“This is the Illusory Qilin Bracer, made from the scale of an Illusory Sea Flood Dragon.

It provides excellent defense, and it works wonders when blocking attacks from a Battle Soul!”

Lu Chuan looked over, noticing how light the Illusory Qilin Bracer appeared, covered with light blue scales.

It would be quite convenient if worn on the sword-bearing right arm.

At least during combat, it would give Lu Chuan an opportunity to defend and block.

Otherwise, he could only rely on the Supreme Phantom Dodge to evade attacks.

Thus, he had set his sights on this piece of equipment and was determined not to let it go.

Lu Chuan quickly raised his placard!

Instantly, the crowd that had been eager to bid all quieted down, none daring to make a move hastily.

With Lu Chuan personally raising his placard, if anyone dared to bid against him, it would be a show of disrespect to Lu Chuan.

They did not dare to provoke Lu Chuan, especially since he had just killed Nangong Tian and destroyed the Nangong Residence.

If they dared to offend Lu Chuan, they would have to prepare for a catastrophic retaliation.

Therefore, they all stood frozen in place, not daring to make the slightest move.

“Congratulations to this young master for successfully acquiring the Illusory Qilin Bracer.”

“Phew!

It seems today’s auction is proceeding very smoothly.”

“Next, the coming item is quite special, and only those with discerning eyes will be able to see its extraordinariness.”

He then carefully brought out a black iron box.

Upon opening it, everyone craned their necks to see.

However, as they saw a branch resting inside the box, they were all taken aback.

“That…

looks just like a stick, doesn’t it?”

“Am I seeing this right, just an ordinary stick, and they brought it to auction?”

“Isn’t this an insult to our intelligence?

Can this even count as an auction item?”

“Hey, what’s so special about this thing?”

The host quickly began to explain with a smile, “This branch is quite extraordinary as it can release a large amount of Spiritual Energy!”

“The most terrifying aspect is that when our clan members came into contact with it and tried to absorb its Spiritual Energy, something strange happened—they exploded and died on the spot, immediately losing their lives!”
