Chapter 750: The Grand Finale Treasure!
The creation and refinement of the Soul Controlling Killing Talismans and Spirit Shield Talismans demand an enormous amount of effort and time.
Typically, proud and arrogant Soul Tamers avoid making such items, considering them beneath them.
Because of this, Soul Controlling Killing Talismans and Spirit Shield Talismans are rare and carry extremely high prices.
That said, these talismans are incredibly useful. As soon as the auction began, offers flooded in, including those from the top-tier VIP box.
Su Yi felt a moment of temptation. Indeed, the Soul Controlling Killing Talisman held significant appeal.
A Soul Controlling Killing Talisman at the Double Yuan Emperor Realm can strike with the force of a Double Yuan Emperor Realm expert. It can instantly kill anyone at the Yuan Void Realm level, even those at the ninth level!
If Su Yi had such a talisman, he imagined it would provide a surge of power in times of danger.
Su Yi placed a bid, but it was quickly outbid.
In the end, the talisman was sold for an astonishing 230,000 two-star Yuan Stones to the Sacred Mountain box.
Su Yi was taken aback by the price. Though the talisman cost 230,000 two-star Yuan Stones, it had the power to eliminate a Yuan Void Realm expert with a single blow—definitely worth the cost.
The price was set by the Sacred Mountain. It seemed that everyone in the VIP box knew who they were dealing with, as no one else placed a higher bid.
Su Yi refrained from bidding further. It wasn’t due to a lack of desire, but because he was already deep in debt and couldn’t afford to take on more.
After the auction for the Soul Controlling Killing Talisman, a sudden and profound silence fell over the entire venue.
The crowd, previously buzzing with energy, now waited with bated breath.
Su Yi sensed the tension in the air. The final item was likely the rumored treasure.
While many had come to bid on the Star Cloud Ganoderma, an even larger number were waiting for the treasure that was to be unveiled.
Su Yi, too, was intrigued. What kind of treasure would close this grand auction?
A disciple from the Lingbao Pavilion cautiously stepped onto the stage. Despite his training, even he was unnerved by the aura of power surrounding the hall.
With great care, he placed an ancient wooden box, small enough to fit a baby, on the auction platform.
The box was weathered and appeared as if it had been buried for centuries. Its surface was yellowed, with obscure, faded patterns, and there was no detectable energy emanating from it.
“What is that?”
Many in the crowd scrutinized the wooden box, but none could identify anything special about it. Was this really the grand prize of the auction?
Although Su Yi was also doubtful, he observed the box closely. There didn’t appear to be anything extraordinary about it, but he noticed many curious eyes locked on it. It must have some significant origin, he thought, or the prestigious Lingbao Pavilion wouldn’t have chosen it as the auction’s main attraction.
“Ladies and gentlemen, this object is shrouded in mystery. It was discovered in a dangerous secret realm. Many of the Lingbao Pavilion’s most powerful experts have attempted to open it, but they failed. It is sealed with powerful enchantments, and forcing it open could destroy whatever is inside.”
The auctioneer continued, “Experts believe this item has been buried for more than five thousand years. The seals and restrictions placed upon it are extremely powerful, suggesting the person who did so was an extraordinary individual. We believe there’s a valuable treasure inside. Furthermore, our experts have found a unique pattern on the box, which, upon examination, seems to relate to the Fuyao Sect of Youzhou. While it isn’t identical to their emblem, there are similarities. According to legend, this object might be connected to a top Fuyao Sect expert who disappeared eight thousand years ago after entering a treacherous secret realm. It’s believed that this box contains the legacy they left behind!”
“Fuyao Sect in Youzhou!”
The moment the auctioneer mentioned the Fuyao Sect, the hall erupted in excitement. The possibility of uncovering the legacy of an ancient top-tier expert was enough to draw anyone’s interest.
The Fuyao Sect, one of the ten major powers in the Central Region, was renowned alongside the Sacred Mountain. The thought of a treasure tied to the Fuyao Sect, sealed by the top experts of Youzhou, made this box even more irresistible.
“Ladies and gentlemen, though no one knows what’s inside, its value is unquestionable. The starting price is 100,000 three-star Yuan Stones, with bidding increments of 1,000 three-star Yuan Stones!”
The auctioneer announced. The mystery of the box, coupled with the reputation of the Fuyao Sect, ensured its value would be considerable.
“One hundred thousand three-star Yuan Stones!”
A shocked gasp spread through the crowd.
Su Yi’s mind raced as he compared the starting bid for this mysterious box to the 3,000 three-star Yuan Stones for the Star Cloud Ganoderma. It was astounding that the box, with no guarantee of what it contained or even if it could be opened, would command such a starting bid—purely because of its association with the Fuyao Sect.
The room fell into an anxious silence. Who could afford such a price?
In the VIP box, the tension was palpable, but no one made a bid.
“One hundred thousand three-star Yuan Stones!” the auctioneer repeated.
For a long while, the atmosphere remained still. Finally, a bid came from the Sacred Mountain box.
Instantly, all eyes turned toward the box. Many exchanged knowing glances, their expressions a mix of curiosity and intrigue.
No one made another bid, and the room quieted in anticipation.
“One hundred thousand three-star Yuan Stones, going once, going twice!”
The auctioneer’s voice rang out, his pace quickening.
“One hundred thousand three-star Yuan Stones for the second time!”
Among the crowd, it was clear that only those from Sacred Mountain could afford to bid at such a price.
“One hundred thousand one three-star Yuan Stones!”
Su Yi placed his bid, a faint smile tugging at his lips.
Xi Wuqing, still watching from a distance, looked at Su Yi in astonishment, clearly surprised by the unexpected move.
