Legend of Swordsman

Of course, after the sale, a portion would be given to Emperor Duobao. However, due to Huang Yue’er, the handling fee was waived directly.

Jian Wushuang returned to his true form.

Just then, Huang Yue’er also returned.

”Fellow Daoist Yue’er, I need to trouble you once again!” Jian Wushuang smiled slightly and handed over a mustard seed.

Inside were various precious treasures.

The less valuable ones had already been refined by him into Immortal Crystals.

Seeing this, Huang Yue’er sighed and said, ”Next time, just give me everything all at once!”

Even so, she was still quite surprised by the treasures Jian Wushuang and his companions possessed.

The last mustard seed he had given her, when appraised by Brother Duobao, was valued at two trillion Immortal Crystals.

Now, yet another mustard seed was handed over, containing several pinnacle treasures.

There were also some extremely rare and valuable curiosities.

After agreeing, Huang Yue’er left once more.

”These are for all of you!” Jian Wushuang turned and handed another mustard seed to Immortal Jiu Chen, which contained two hundred billion Immortal Crystals.

Immortal Jiu Chen swallowed hard and, clearly moved, said, ”Jian Wushuang, I don’t know how to thank you this time, but rest assured, if you ever need my help, I, Immortal Jiu Chen, will have no hesitation.”

”Stop being so polite. It’d be strange if Wushuang cared about your strength!” Xue Yang still wore his casual, indifferent expression.

However, this time Jian Wushuang patted his shoulder and said, ”Brother Xue Yang, this time I truly will need your help, but that will have to wait until you’ve reached the pinnacle or even become a Universe Master!”

”Understood!” Xue Yang’s expression became serious, and he nodded.

The second phase of the auction began on time.

Huang Yue’er also returned to her seat.

The treasures in this phase were hotly contested.

Jian Wushuang and the others were in no rush to place their bids.

They were all waiting for the treasures related to merging with the Dao.

”The nineteenth item up for auction: the Dao-Merging Spring, a rare treasure from the Chaotic Void. A single drop can enlighten the heart; two drops can trigger an epiphany, and three drops can bring one to the understanding of Dao-Merging.” After Emperor Duobao finished speaking, everyone in the audience gasped.

”This time, three portions will be auctioned. Each portion contains three drops. The final price offered by the top three bidders will determine who gets one portion. If the same person holds the top three bids, they will take it all!”

”The starting bid is ten billion Immortal Crystals. The auction begins now!” As soon as Emperor Duobao finished his sentence, every Dao Master in the hall placed their bids at the same time.

Fortunately, Duobao was an Emperor; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to keep up with all the prices.

From the initial bid of ten billion Immortal Crystals, in just three breaths, the price had soared past one hundred billion.

The top three bids were all over one hundred eighty billion.

The further it went, the more intense the bidding became.

After a stick of incense’s time, only seven or eight people were still bidding.

Jian Wushuang nodded slightly, and Immortal Jiu Chen started to bid.

”Two hundred billion, two hundred one billion, two hundred two billion!”

Immortal Jiu Chen called out three bids in a row.

Many people in the hall glanced over.

When they saw he was seated with Huang Yue’er, they understood that Immortal Jiu Chen had an extraordinary background.

Several people were indeed frightened off.

However, there were still bidders continuing to raise the price.

The bid leaped from 20 billion to 30 billion in a single increment.

But this bidder only offered one price, clearly indicating they only wanted a single portion.

Immortal Jiu Chen kept bidding, still offering the price for three portions.

In the end, the total for the three portions surpassed 100 billion.

That was how they secured the three shares of spirit spring.

”Goodness, that wiped out all the Immortal Crystals!” Xue Yang sighed with emotion. Jian Wushuang furrowed his brow.

He hadn’t expected money to vanish this quickly.

The treasures they auctioned off had only raised half the amount-about one trillion five hundred billion Immortal Crystals-which Huang Yue’er had just delivered. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to afford the next round of treasures.

There were still half of the treasures remaining, roughly equivalent to another one trillion five hundred billion.

Altogether, they had three trillion Immortal Crystals, not including the Deep Sea Pearl.

That item had been reserved for the third phase.

But the Dao-comprehending treasures in that phase were even more extraordinary. They might exceed trillions.

Jian Wushuang would have to sell more treasures.

But now, even the supreme treasures on Jiu Chen and Xue Yang had been sold.

There was nothing left to sell.

”It seems... I’ll have to sell my blood!” Jian Wushuang rubbed his temples.

If it were Ancient Demon Blood, they could have an endless supply.

However, Ancient Demon Blood was highly valuable to mortals but not as useful to

True Immortals, and even less so to Dao Lords.

So, it wasn’t worth much.

That meant he’d have to sell his own blood.

But now that he’d condensed his God Eye Clan lineage, the blood he produced was diluted divine blood, meant for self-sacrifice.

Selling it would be a waste.

”I’ll sell divine power then!” Jian Wushuang closed his eyes slightly.

Since he had already sacrificed himself to become a golden puppet, his 50,000-fold divine power could condense into five billion divine crystals.

Five billion divine crystals were equivalent to five trillion Immortal Crystals.

After condensing it, his golden puppet body would be drained of power, but fortunately, he could go to the third layer of the Universe Origin to replenish it. Of course, only he could absorb the Origin, as Old Ancestor Xue He could not. However, Jian Wushuang couldn’t absorb too much. This Universe Origin had been given by Senior Brother Ghost Eye to his clansmen.

He couldn’t help but feel a bit guilty for taking more than his share.

This time, in order to help Jiu Chen and Xue Yang, he’d set aside his pride entirely. The remaining Dao-comprehending treasures in the second phase were almost all secured by them.

This naturally drew a lot of attention.

Of course, they had nearly exhausted their funds as well.

They had spent a total of six trillion Immortal Crystals.

Ordinary Emperors only possessed wealth of that level.

”Wushuang, that should be enough. With the experience from my past life, I just need some assistance, and it will be sufficient!” Xue Yang could tell that Jian Wushuang was genuinely running out of Immortal Crystals.

Jiu Chen also hurriedly reassured him, ”I also have the Dao-comprehending experience left by my former master, so I don’t need any more treasures!”

Seeing that both of them spoke this way, Jian Wushuang then said, ”There’s still a Flower of Life, a crucial Dao-comprehending treasure. I want to buy it for Jiang Ni. How many Immortal Crystals do we have left?”

”Hmm, I have six hundred billion left!”

”I have eight hundred billion, so that’s one trillion four hundred billion, plus a Deep

Sea Pearl. That should be enough!” Jian Wushuang calculated in his heart.

Soon, the third phase began.

The third phase consisted entirely of high-level treasures.

The first item was the Deep Sea Pearl. As soon as it appeared, the Dao Lords were stunned.

This treasure was somewhat beyond expectations.

After all, it was a legendary item.

The starting bid was already one trillion Immortal Crystals.

”I can’t believe there’s a Deep Sea Pearl. Why didn’t I hear about this earlier? Unfortunately, I didn’t prepare enough Immortal Crystals this time, so I can’t bid!”

”Deep Sea Pearl!”

”Notify the family patriarch!”

Many Dao Lords began to gather funds.

The Deep Sea Pearl could serve as a family treasure, a priceless heirloom.

It had immense value, even greater than the Dao-comprehending treasures.

Some Dao Lords, realizing their own strength was insufficient for Dao-comprehension, gave up bidding on those treasures and immediately aimed for the Deep Sea Pearl instead.

The starting price of one trillion rapidly soared to one and a half trillion.
