Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 785: Chapter 318 Thunder Series Heaven and Earth Star Will_2

”Young Master Qi, this is our Five-Star VIP Card. With this card, you can use any private room below the sixth floor for free.

Next time you come to our establishment, you can come straight here with this VIP Card.

With it, Young Master Qi will receive a ten percent discount on all transactions conducted here,” Manager Liu said respectfully.

At last, Xu Jin acquired something of use. After accepting it, he was led to a private room on the fifth floor.

It wasn’t large, just about ten square meters.

Yet, compared to the crowded situation of people shoulder to shoulder in the main hall, the sense of superiority filled him to the brim.

All sorts of fruit plates and pastries came one after another at a continuous pace, and two beautiful maidens attended him at his side, but Xu Jin waved them away with a hand gesture.

According to Manager Liu’s hint, those maids could be taken away if he fancied.

However, Xu Jin had no such interest!

Half an hour later, the auction officially began.

It started with more conventional consumable resources, such as pills.

The first item up for auction was the Dragon Turtle Soul Refining Pill.

Five pills to a set, a total of twenty sets were auctioned.

The bids were intensely competitive.

In the end, Xu Jin also took action and bought two sets, each pill going for over one thousand five hundred strands of starlight.

This stuff was now considered the hardest currency in the Galaxy Continent.

No one would find it excessive.

Following that was a large number of emblems, including the emblems Xu Jin had just consigned, which were also up for auction.

But the most fiercely contested were the low-level Star Healing and mid-level Star Healing emblems.

The most expensive mid-level Star Healing emblem was even auctioned for an astronomical price of eight thousand six hundred strands of starlight.

A total of ten emblems were sold.

”Manager Liu, who is so extravagant to put up ten mid-level Star Healing emblems for auction all at once?” Xu Jin asked curiously when Manager Liu came up during the intermission.

”Young Master is not aware, but this is a regular auction by Wood Spirit Palace! Wood Spirit Palace releases ten mid-level Star Healing emblems and two hundred low-level Star Healing emblems for auction at our small monthly auction, which is why our auction house is so exceptionally popular!” Manager Liu explained.

This Wood Spirit Palace really knows how to do business.

Such monopolistic trade is like picking up money.

Wood Spirit Palace must be filled to the brim with wealth.

”The next item up for auction is a mid-tier Five-order Star Healing emblem. Anyone, after using it, can transfer erratically in all directions for two hundred li, making it a life-saving divine artifact!

The starting bid is five thousand strands of starlight for one, with each bid no less than one thousand strands of starlight. We have a total of five pieces available today for bidding.

Those interested can start bidding now.”

Nearly as soon as the auctioneer’s voice fell, the bidding price was called to fifty thousand strands of starlight within a single breath.

This made Xu Jin take in a sharp breath.

What surprised Xu Jin wasn’t the high price of the Chaotic Space Transfer Emblems.

What astonished him was the preciousness of the Chaotic Star Pendant previously given to him by the State Preceptor.

Xu Jin knew the Fourth-tier Star Artifact, the Chaotic Star Pendant, was very precious, but in his mind, it was worth, at the most, one Top-Grade Fifth-tier Star Artifact.

Now, Xu Jin suddenly realized what kind of Fourth-tier Star Artifact the State Preceptor had actually given him.

A priceless treasure!

The Chaotic Star Pendant, which could save your life once a day, was definitely a priceless treasure.

He wouldn’t exchange it even for several Sixth-tier Star Artifacts!

In the end, none of the Chaotic Space Transfer Emblems were sold for less than eighty thousand strands of starlight.

Moreover, Xu Jin sensed that those who bid for these Chaotic Space Transfer Emblems all exuded a terrifying Seventh-tier atmosphere.

All were on the sixth and seventh floors.

In the first and second floors, there were cultivators bidding as well, but they only bid once or twice before they were completely suppressed.

You bid ten thousand, twenty thousand, and someone directly bids seventy thousand.

How could you compete?

There was no way to compete!

These were treasures that could save your life at a critical moment.

Previously, Sixth Elder Xia Zhong from Tianyang Star Hall had likely used such a treasure to save his life from the hands of the State Preceptor.

Today, Xu Jin truly witnessed the money-drawing power of Wood Spirit Palace and Sumeru Palace.

With such money-drawing power, the strength of these two palaces was imaginable.

However, it also reminded Xu Jin of Dai Guanwen, the Fourth Young Master of the Sumeru Palace.

Xu Jin himself had made discoveries and not mentioned them, but the State Preceptor had also specifically cautioned Xu Jin to be wary of this Dai Guanwen in the future.

When the opportunity arises, he must properly settle this score.

Especially since Shen Wei, the Vice Academician, was killed by this wretch!

This auction lasted for two hours, and Xu Jin also successfully bid for the millennium tortoise shell.

It was not expensive.

For five thousand strands of starlight, he acquired an entire millennium tortoise shell; judging by the displayed item’s patterns, it could be divided into over a hundred pieces – a solution to numerous issues at once.

”Ladies and gentlemen, next, we will proceed with the grand finale of this month’s auction.

The first of the grand finale items is a Sixth Tier Lower Star Artifact, the Moon Shadow Sword. This sword has three major characteristics: first, it is incredibly heavy; second, under the moonlight, it is almost invisible; third, the material for forging the sword is mixed with a thread of Blood Evil Gold, making it extraordinarily sharp. It also has eight Sharp Gold Star Patterns engraved.

However, it also has a downside. Of the three Star Skills that should be attached to this Sixth Tier Lower Star Artifact Moon Shadow Sword, there is only one – Moon Shadow.

It is most suitable for cultivators who have cultivated the Object-Controlling Star Pattern.”

”The starting bid is 30,000 strands of Starlight, with each increase not less than 3,000 strands of Starlight.”

Xu Jin, who had originally been on the verge of dozing off, suddenly became spirited.

His Covering Moon Sword was only of the upper fourth tier, and for now, it was just barely sufficient.

Once his Cultivation Level improved a bit more, it wouldn’t be sufficient at all.

This lower sixth-tier Star Artifact, the Moon Shadow Sword, seemed to be tailor-made for cultivators of the Object-Controlling Sect.

What made Xu Jin even more excited was that there weren’t many people increasing the bid.

After several calls, the price had only been raised to 70,000 strands of Starlight.

One must know, a sixth-tier Star Artifact would normally start at 100,000 strands of Starlight, the kind that was priceless and hard to find.

”I bid 80,000!” Xu Jin decisively raised the bid.

A sixth-tier Star Artifact, a treasure one could stumble upon but could hardly seek out!

At places like the Changsheng Auction House, they were offered as the final showpiece items for auction, Xu Jin decided to take a gamble.

As for delivery, it wasn’t a problem for Xu Jin.

He had a large amount of fourth-tier and fifth-tier Star Jades, even sixth-tier Star Jades; that was the basis of Xu Jin’s confidence.

”I bid 85,000!”

The voice that raised the bid came from the sixth floor; it belonged to an elder.

”90,000!”

”95,000!”

”100,000!”

”I bid 110,000!” Xu Jin wanted to clinch the deal in one fell swoop, directly adding 10,000 strands of Starlight.

On the sixth floor, the elder let out a cold huff, ”120,000!”

”I bid 130,000!” Xu Jin raised the bid again, with a look of absolute determination.

The elder on the sixth floor who was competing in the bidding eventually gave up on raising the bid.

He was only looking for a steal.

Above 120,000, it wouldn’t be worth it!

Successful in the bidding, Xu Jin felt slightly exhilarated.

Flush with cash!

That was pretty much it!

The confidence was indeed sufficient.

The bidding was all done with vigor!

”Ladies and gentlemen, the second of our featured items for auction is an object from the fifth-tier Star Domain, the Thunder Series Heaven and Earth Star Will.”

As soon as the host announced this, Xu Jin sat up straight once again.

Heaven and Earth Star Will, and of the Thunder Series, had actually appeared at the auction!

Was Changsheng Auction House really so incredible?

Since the Thunder Series Heaven and Earth Star Will had appeared, that meant that other Heaven and Earth Star Will might appear as well.

On the auction stage, Manager displayed a brilliant cluster of Thunder Light, which made Xu Jin’s eyes blaze with excitement.

All of the bidding participants felt the same.

However, not many were surprised, which indicated that the appearance of Heaven and Earth Star Will at an auction was not unprecedented.

This realization made Xu Jin reconsider the importance of the Galaxy Battlefield. The Heaven and Earth Star Will there was precious but clearly not unknown.

On the contrary, many knew about it.

So, how many had collected pieces of the Heaven and Earth Star Will?

Were there others like Xu Jin, who had collected more than a dozen pieces of the Heaven and Earth Star Will?

Xu Jin felt that it was very likely.

If they could appear at an auction, perhaps some veterans had collected quite a few!

This made Xu Jin shiver with respect.

Again, a sense of awe toward the Galaxy Battlefield arose within him.

But despite the awe, Xu Jin was determined to obtain this piece of the Thunder Series Heaven and Earth Star Will.

Thunder Series Heaven and Earth Star Will was just too rare!

He simply did not know how many strands of Starlight it would take to close the deal?

Two hundred thousand strands?

Or five hundred thousand strands?

Or even a million strands?

If it were over five hundred thousand strands, Xu Jin feared he could only sigh in yearning.

Under the urging of numerous onlookers, the host announced the bidding conditions again, ”As per the consignor’s request, this Thunder Series Heaven and Earth Star Will shall only be traded for the Wood Series or Water Series Heaven and Earth Star Will.

This piece of Thunder Series Heaven and Earth Star Will will continue to be sold for one year, during which time, anyone bringing the required Wood or Water Series Heaven and Earth Star Will can come to exchange for it!”

”Ah, it’s like this again!”

Down below, the bidders sighed in disappointment one after another.

Xu Jin’s eyes, however, lit up listening to this.

There was still a chance!

But if he were to exchange, he would have to add another condition to make it worthwhile!
