Chapter 1001: Chapter 999: Purple Cloud Sword!

"I never expected to encounter Eternal Sand here!" Lin Bai’s eyes were tightly fixed on the gold sand in Zhao Yongsheng’s palm, his expression outwardly calm, but his heart was extremely shocked.

"Master once mentioned that Eternal Sand is extremely precious, even sufficient for crafting Divine Spirit Instruments."

"Now that I’ve come across Eternal Sand here, naturally, I cannot easily let it slip away!"

"Moreover, among the warriors here, perhaps only I understand the value of this gold sand, so the chances of acquiring it are incredibly high!"

Lin Bai stared intently at the gold sand, his face composed, not saying much.

And Gong Chan, standing next to Lin Bai, seeing that he had no intention of bidding, stopped detailing the particulars of this gold sand to him.

"10,000 points!"

"13,000 points!"

"17,000 points!"

"..."

"50,000 points!"

The crowd below was embroiled in a fierce bidding war.

But when a warrior suddenly jumped from "17,000 points" to "50,000 points," the entire place fell quiet, and all eyes turned toward the direction of the VIP area upstairs.

"My friends, this gold sand is of great importance to me, I ask you to kindly spare me this round," Cai Yunqi said with a smile, stepping toward the window and bowing slightly to all the warriors in the hall.

"It’s Cai Yunqi!"

"A disciple of Spear Daoist Courtyard!"

"Looks like these top contenders on the Heroes List are getting ready to defend their rankings!"

"I heard recently Cai Yunqi has been frequenting the Artifact Dao Sect, seems like he invited some Artifact Refiners to craft a Spiritual Tool, and this gold sand must be one of the primary materials!"

"Now that Senior Brother Cai Yunqi showed up, surely no one here would be foolish enough to bid against him, right?"

Many warriors were pressing down the urge to make a bid in their hearts.

Cai Yunqi, seeing that everyone had gone quiet, smiled slightly and returned to sit down in his chair.

"Seems like this gold sand is destined for Brother Cai," Wu Qiu remarked with a light smile, "Once Brother Cai has crafted his weapon of choice, I will have to rely on him in the Hero Ranking Martial Arts Competition."

Wu Qiu said this in a teasing tone.

"Brother Wu, you jest. With you and I working together, safeguarding our rankings on the Heroes List will be no issue," Cai Yunqi replied with a slight smile.

Lin Bai sat in the room.

Noticing that all the warriors had fallen silent.

Zhao Yongsheng’s face bore a smile, seemingly about to announce the ownership of the treasure.

"No more bids?" Lin Bai asked with a curious smile.

"Although the gold sand is valuable, 50,000 points is already a sky-high price. Since Senior Brother Cai Yunqi, the Chief Disciple of Spear Daoist Courtyard, bid the highest price in one go, naturally no other warrior will bid," Gong Chan said with a light smile.

Zhao Yongsheng having waited a while, then said, "Since there are no more bids, then this gold sand will be sold for 50,000 points... "

"60,000 points!"

Just as Zhao Yongsheng was about to declare the treasure sold, Cai Yunqi and Wu Qiu’s faces revealed smiles.

Suddenly, at that moment.

A frivolous laughter came from within the VIP area upstairs.

"60,000 points!"

These simple words drew the attention of all the warriors present.

"Who is it?"

"Who has the audacity to challenge our Brother Cai Yunqi?"

"It’s from Heaven Character No. 13 Room, the same person who was bidding against Brother Wu just now!"

Many warriors turned their gaze towards Heaven Character No. 13 Room.

Gong Chan, standing behind Lin Bai, also showed a hint of surprise on her face.

Gong Chan had just felt that Lin Bai wouldn’t bid anymore, but to her utter surprise, he made an offer at the last moment.

"Hm?" Both Wu Qiu and Cai Yunqi, hearing this voice, instantly lost their smiles.

Cai Yunqi was so irritated that he stood up from his chair, looking towards Lin Bai in Heaven Character No. 13 Room.

Lin Bai just smiled slightly, noncommittal.

"Fine, you want to play, let’s play," Cai Yunqi said.

Cai Yunqi sneered.

"70,000 points!" Cai Yunqi immediately roared.

"80,000 points!" Lin Bai continued to shout.

"90,000 points!"

"100,000 points!"

"..."

Wow!

They were really going to clash, huh.

Who was so fearless to provoke the Chief Disciples?

Many warriors looked in astonishment at Lin Bai within Room Heaven Character No. 13.

"Damn it, Lin Bai, when will you be done?" Cai Yunqi yelled at Lin Bai, exasperated.

Lin Bai stood up and sneered, "Indeed, you guys really are never done."

"Cai Yunqi, I guess you have at most 100,000 points on you!"

"Even if you could borrow Wu Qiu’s 100,000 points, you would at most have 200,000 points!"

"I bid 200,000 points!"

"If you can, raise the price!"

Lin Bai stared at Cai Yunqi, directly offering a bid of 200,000 points!

"Mad, have you gone insane? This mere piece of Gold Sand has actually been bid up to 200,000 points!"

"It’s not about the auction anymore; they really want to clash!"

"Price hiking, this is definitely price hiking!"

"This person in Room Heaven Character No. 13 is incredible, directly offering a price that Cai Yunqi absolutely cannot accept. It seems Cai Yunqi might give up."

Many warriors were looking toward Cai Yunqi, anticipating his final bid.

200,000 points!

This indeed was beyond the range that Cai Yunqi and Wu Qiu could afford.

Although the points they had together were many, amounting to just over 300,000, they couldn’t possibly spend all their money on a single treasure with other Treasures still to be auctioned.

"Brother Cai, let’s forget it and just let him hold on to it for now," Wu Qiu said with a light laugh. "After all, I’ve also left an item with him."

Cai Yunqi glanced at Wu Qiu and snorted, "Okay, let’s do as Brother Cai says!"

Cai Yunqi sat down angrily, giving Lin Bai a spiteful glance from the corner of his eye.

Wu Qiu also sneered repeatedly.

After a long wait, Zhao Yongsheng smiled and said, "Well then, this piece of Gold Sand will go to the distinguished guest in Room Heaven Character No. 13 for 200,000 points!"

Zhao Yongsheng announced the owner, and then continued with the auction.

Soon, a maid delivered the Gold Sand, and after Lin Bai paid the points, he placed the Gold Sand into his Storage Bag.

"Now I’m just missing the Destiny Stone and Sky Flying Divine Iron. Once found, I can forge another Flying Sword," Lin Bai mused quietly to himself.

"Gong Chan, can you contact the owner who auctioned this piece of Gold Sand?" Lin Bai asked curiously.

Lin Bai was eager to know where the Eternal Sand had come from.

Could there really be Eternal Sand on the Miracle Ridge?

Gong Chan showed a hint of difficulty on her face.

"I can pay with points," Lin Bai said with a faint smile.

"Senior Brother misunderstands; it’s not a matter of points. Most warriors who bring Treasures to the Black Market don’t want to reveal their names and won’t easily leave contact information," explained Gong Chan.

"Finding the warrior who brought in this item might be somewhat difficult."

Gong Chan spoke calmly.

"No matter, if you can find this warrior for me, I can pay you 30,000 points, how about that?" Lin Bai asked with a smile.

Hearing about 30,000 points, Gong Chan’s eyes lit up: "Gong Chan will definitely do her best."

"Here is an Order Talisman. Take it for now, Senior Brother, and if I find the warrior, I will inform you using a Spiritual Talisman," Gong Chan said, pulling out a token from her Storage Bag and handing it to Lin Bai.

Lin Bai took a glance at it then tossed it into his Storage Bag because, at that moment, Zhao Yongsheng had taken out another treasure that interested Lin Bai!

"The Purple Cloud Sword, a top-tier Ninth Grade Spirit Instrument, crafted by Xun Han, the Chief Disciple of the Artifact Dao Sect!"
