The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2262: Chapter 2262: Prices Soaring

After the specialty auction for magic technique books, the spotlight shifted to magical treasures.

Jing Yan’s Ice Flame Sword is merely an Immortal Rhythm Level Magical Treasure, while in the magical treasure showcase, there were several Immortal Venerable Level Magical Treasures, including sword-shaped ones. However, after having taken a glance, Jing Yan did not feel a strong desire to bid. He had used the Ice Flame Sword for a long time and had been in sync with its Sword Spirit. Indeed, using an Immortal Venerable Level Magical Treasure could increase his Attack Power to a certain extent, but at Jing Yan’s level, one or two magical treasures wouldn’t make much difference.

”I should find an opportunity to reforge the Ice Flame Sword in the future,” Jing Yan pondered, making such a decision.

Days passed by.

The last day of the auction.

The Immortal Rhythm Level Virtualization Technique Manual was taken out as the finale item for this auction.

”Fellow Daoists.”

”This manual is the Immortal Rhythm Level Virtualization Technique Manual. The Divine Soul Energy contained within is roughly sufficient for three cultivators to learn this spell.”

”Regarding the value and significance of the Immortal Rhythm Level Virtualization Technique, I won’t dare to boast about it here. I know that many of you present came specifically for this technique, and you’re all well aware of what the Immortal Rhythm Level Virtualization Technique signifies. Haha, Wuxia Immortal Venerable was able to reach the Immortal Venerable Realm in such a short time owing to this spell.”

A clamor broke out. Some knew that Wuxia Immortal Venerable had cultivated the Immortal Rhythm Virtualization Technique, but many did not know.

”Next, the bidding for this Immortal Rhythm Level Virtualization Technique begins. This item has no reserve price.” The Elder of Mystic Moon Trading House restrained his smile and spoke solemnly.

No reserve price for the item.

This is the confidence Mystic Moon Trading House has in the Immortal Rhythm Level Virtualization Technique. Generally, items have a reserve price even at Mystic Moon Trading House auctions, where items are precious and highly sought after. But nothing is guaranteed; one or two items without competition might result in significant loss if there’s no reserve price.

As for Mystic Moon Trading House having ’plants’ to raise prices, it’s not feasible. Among attendees are top-tier figures from the Heavenly Domain, with formidable energy. If Mystic Moon Trading House attempted such a maneuver, trouble would be inevitable once evidence surfaced.

Today, the Immortal Domain Level Virtualization Technique has been decided to be without a reserve price.

”Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, your Virtualization Technique Manual is the final item of the auction.” Elder Kuo Lian recently visited Jing Yan in his private room, smiling as he spoke.

”Yes,” Jing Yan nodded.

Jing Yan was not calm at heart, though many major forces had shown determination to acquire the Immortal Rhythm Level Virtualization Technique. Nonetheless, the price had yet to emerge, and Jing Yan couldn’t be certain what price the manual might fetch. Although creating the Immortal Rhythm Virtualization Technique isn’t difficult for him and he could easily create many in a short time, Jing Yan was unwilling to produce them indiscriminately.

Firstly, rarity enhances value. Secondly, if the Immortal Rhythm Virtualization Technique becomes too common, it might upset certain balances, possibly leading many Immortal Rhythm cultivators to ascend to the Immortal Venerable Realm.

”Fellow Daoist Kuo Lian, what do you think the final price will be in Black Crystal Stones for this manual?” Jing Yan looked at Elder Kuo Lian and asked.

”In my judgment, at least three trillion Black Crystal Stones, possibly reaching five trillion,” Elder Kuo Lian responded.

He had previously assessed the Immortal Rhythm Level Virtualization Technique’s potential value and now expressed it readily.

”Let’s hope so,” Jing Yan nodded again.

The auction below had already begun. Without a set price, initial bidding was not very fierce, mostly coming from leaders of smaller factions. These people knew it was unlikely they could win the Immortal Rhythm Level Virtualization Technique, so they casually quoted prices for fun.

”One billion Black Crystal Stones!”

”Two billion Black Crystal Stones!”

”Five billion Black Crystal Stones...” The initial bids were not high, just several billion Black Crystal Stones.

It took several breaths before the price of the Immortal Rhythm Level Virtualization Technique Manual rose to ten billion Black Crystal Stones.

”Wasting time!” At this point, an Immortal Venerable Realm Expert snorted coldly.

He scanned around, then quoted: ”Five hundred billion Black Crystal Stones!”

Five hundred billion Black Crystal Stones certainly couldn’t secure this Virtualization Technique Manual. After the Immortal Venerable Realm Expert made his bid, ridicule immediately followed.

”Gui He Immortal Venerable, your bid of five hundred billion Black Crystal Stones doesn’t quite match your status!” The speaker was in a private room, unknown from which faction yet seemed to have animosity with the expert named Gui He.

”Mind your own business!” Gui He Immortal Venerable retorted proudly.

”One trillion Black Crystal Stones,” the person who mocked Gui He Immortal Venerable bid.

Once the bid reached one trillion Black Crystal Stones, leaders of the smaller factions fell silent. One trillion Black Crystal Stones was challenging even if they could pool it together; still, it was a hefty sum. These small factions comparable to the Xin Family and Shadow Tower from Yuantong’s region could gather one trillion Black Crystal Stones, but not without difficulty and risking the operational impact on their organizations.

”One trillion two hundred billion Black Crystal Stones.” A bid came from an Immortal Rhythm Cultivator sitting in the hall.

This person wore a veil, sounded female, seemingly unaffiliated with any faction but rather a Loose Cultivator. An Immortal Rhythm Level Loose Cultivator managing over a trillion in Black Crystal Stones was shocking. Many whispered, trying to uncover the veiled woman’s background, but no one seemed to know her origin.

”One trillion five hundred billion Black Crystal Stones. My master, Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable, is very interested in this manual,” another voice emerged.

This voice was one Jing Yan was somewhat familiar with, and upon hearing the words, Jing Yan’s lips curled slightly. The bidder was none other than Min Lan Immortal Venerable, who had visited Wuxia City earlier.

This person brings up his master, Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable, during bidding, which was somewhat amusing.

With so many major faction leaders present, while they might typically show face to Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable, they wouldn’t relinquish the Immortal Rhythm Level Virtualization Technique for this reason. By mentioning Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable, Min Lan Immortal Venerable might only be making himself a subject of ridicule.

”What a fool,” Jing Yan muttered softly.

”This Min Lan Immortal Venerable is accustomed to arrogance due to being Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable’s disciple and also being at the Immortal Venerable Realm himself. Usually held in high regard wherever he goes, it leads to many presumptions,” Elder Kuo Lian chuckled and said.
