I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 934: Chapter 489: Auction Convention (Part 2)_3

”Elder Li, if you wish to successfully acquire this World Stone, I’m afraid it will cost quite a bit!”

Perceiving the divine thoughts of Integration Powerhouses from the VIP rooms, Sword Master Feng looked at Li Mu with some concern.

”Indeed! There sure are many old fellows eyeing this World Stone!”

Sword Master Chen furrowed his brow, feeling a hint of tension about the upcoming auction competition.

Holding the Bidding Order, Li Mu smiled nonchalantly: ”The two Sword Masters need not worry, this Shattered Boundary Stone is mine for the taking.”

The words of Li Mu exuded an incredibly confident composure, causing Sword Master Feng and Sword Master Chen to exchange smiles, their worries slightly eased.

The auction continued as Wan Tiancheng began announcing the bidding rules: ”Starting bid: 500,000 Top-grade Spirit Stones, with a minimum increase of 20,000 Top-grade Spirit Stones per bid, bidding limit: 120 breaths, now, the bidding begins!”

As Wan Tiancheng’s voice faded, the cultivators in the venue began placing their bids. The price quickly soared, with High-Tier Cultivators in the VIP rooms being particularly generous, engaging in competitive bidding with great intensity.

”VIP Room No. 5: 600,000 Top-grade Spirit Stones!”

”VIP Room No. 11: 680,000!”

”VIP Room No. 17 bids 800,000 Top-grade Spirit Stones. Does anyone else want to bid? There’s only 30 breaths left.”

...

The atmosphere in the auction hall grew increasingly tense, each of Wan Tiancheng’s quotes accompanied by a slight commotion.

In VIP Room No. 1, Li Mu’s divine thought moved, directly inputting 1,000,000 Top-grade Spirit Stones into the Bidding Order, instantly elevating the Shattered Boundary Stone to new heights.

”VIP Room No. 1, 1,000,000 Top-grade Spirit Stones!”

Upon seeing this number, Wan Tiancheng paused slightly, naturally aware that the person in VIP Room No. 1 was Master Li.

The High-Tier Cultivators participating in the auction also paused upon hearing this number, ceasing their bids, seemingly shocked by this price, or perhaps giving some face to him, deciding not to participate further in the bidding.

In the auction hall, discussions among the Void Refining Cultivators rose and fell, stirring a wave of disbelief.

”Why has everyone stopped? Logically, for such a rare Spiritual Object like the Shattered Boundary Stone, even 1,500,000 Top-grade Spirit Stones isn’t expensive!” Although the voice of a Void Refining Cultivator was not loud, during this brief silence, it was especially clear.

”Are you stupid?” A more seasoned-looking Void Refining Cultivator chuckled softly beside him: ”Refining a small world is not just about having the Shattered Boundary Stone, it requires an Artifact Refining Saint Master as well. No matter how valuable the Shattered Boundary Stone, without an Artifact Refining Saint Master, it’s all futile.”

”So what? Those big figures have broad connections! How could they not find someone to refine a small world?” The Void Refining Cultivator retorted unwillingly.

”You’re not wrong, the big figures do indeed have wide connections, but refining a Magical Treasure on the level of a small world is not something any Artifact Refiner can handle.” The elder cultivator shook his head, continuing, ”Also, do you know who is sitting in VIP Room No. 1?”

”Who?” The cultivator asked curiously.

”It’s the Artifact Refining Saint Master who can refine Daoist Soldiers—Master Li!” The elder cultivator spoke with reverence.

Upon these words, the surrounding cultivators revealed expressions of shock and envy, all aware of the fame of Master Li. This auction even featured several Daoist Soldiers consigned by him, yet they hadn’t expected he would appear at this auction, much less spend a fortune for the Shattered Boundary Stone.

”No wonder no one dares to bid against Master Li. With this Shattered Boundary Stone in his hands, it truly is like a fish in water!”

”Indeed, with the Shattered Boundary Stone, along with Master Li’s Artifact Refining Skill, who knows what astonishing small world might be refined.”

”This auction was truly worth attending, to witness Master Li in action with our own eyes, it’s certainly not a wasted trip!”

The cultivators chatted enthusiastically, their faces showing anticipation and envy.
