CHAPTER 306: AUCTION 2

"The whip is a peak level six weapon and is inscribed with ninety-nine inscriptions. Half of the inscriptions increase the whip’s burning effect, and the remaining include protective inscriptions to protect the whip and attack inscriptions to increase its offensive power."

After hearing this, the hall fell into chaos.

Level six weapons, let alone peak grade ones, were extremely rare.

Unexpectedly, an inscribed fire-element peak level six whip appeared as the first auction item! Everyone couldn’t help but be excited when they learned this.

Seeing this, Sun Cheng nodded and continued.

"The starting price is one hundred million spirit stones, and every increase must not be less than one hundred thousand."

"One hundred million and one hundred thousand." Someone immediately shouted.

Unfortunately, his price didn’t stick, and he was immediately overwhelmed.

"One hundred and ten million."

"One hundred and seventy million."

"Two hundred million."

"Three hundred million..."

In this way, the price continued to rise and didn’t slow down until it reached six hundred million.

"Six hundred and ten million."

"Six hundred and twenty million."

"Six hundred and fifty million."

After that, no other bids were raised, and Sun Cheng called the sale.

Shen Xu smiled when he saw this.

The double often refined pills, weapons, food, and wine when he was free.

However, he didn’t have many level six and seven materials, so he could only get creative with what was in the space.

As a result, he refined a lot of products from mysterious heart iron, fire silver ore, and the trees in the space.

Fortunately, these things were treasures, hence the resulting goods were of a high level.

The second auction item was a peak level six teleportation talisman.

Unexpectedly, this was also their group’s product, and it sold for two hundred million.

[Ayuan, I estimate we will earn more than one hundred billion spirit stones from this auction.] Shen Xu transmitted in an excited voice.

[Mmh.] Zhen Yuan nodded and quickly continued.

[It’s a reasonable estimate.] He said.

[One hundred billion is more than enough for everyone in our group to advance to the fusion realm.]

[It’s also enough to tempt some old monsters to commit robbery and murder.]

[You think the Myriad Treasures Pavilion will sell us out?] Shen Xu asked and subconsciously frowned.

[They have no way to sell us out.] Zhen Yuan reminded.

They got a spirit stone card in the Talisman Tower City’s branch of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion. With the card, they could receive spirit stones without exposing their identity.

Most importantly, for this auction, they decided to use the card to receive payments but use spirit stones to make purchases.

That way, no one would be able to connect their group to the one hundred billion fortune.

After all, even if their group was powerful, they couldn’t withstand a siege of void refining and fusion realm cultivators.

Six items later, the auction changed rhythm and began selling level five treasures.

Since everyone in their group was either a void refining or fusion realm cultivator, Shen Xu and the others lost interest.

"Ayuan, the one who bought the fire whip..." The double started, and Zhen Yuan nodded.

"It’s Bai Guo."

"I thought so." Shen Xu sighed with a complicated expression.

He still couldn’t make up his mind about Bai Guo.

At times, he wanted to know more about the double.

After all, they were twins and had an intangible connection that couldn’t be severed, but at other times, he felt no interest in knowing Bai Guo.

That said, Shen Xu knew that the cause of his conflicting emotions was guilt.

No matter how he thought about it, he always felt his transmigration had affected Bai Guo’s life trajectory, entangling his fate with that of Xiao Weimin.

In the original book, Xiao Weimin didn’t like doubles.

After he married the book Shen Xu, the two were never intimate, even on their wedding night.

Most importantly, Xiao Weimin treated Shen Xu like a tool and eventually saw him as an eyesore, leading to the double’s gruesome death.

Thinking of this, Shen Xu couldn’t help but wonder if Bai Guo’s fate would be the same.

However, he soon shook his head.

Unlike the book Shen Xu, Bai Guo had relatives in the Tianxuan continent.

Additionally, the Bai family was a big clan even in the immortal realm.

Considering that, Shen Xu guessed Bai Guo’s fate would not be miserable, at least not in the short term.

’What a troublesome situation.’ The double thought and sighed.

The main part of the auction lasted three days and two nights.

During that time, almost five hundred items were sold, and billions of spirit stones changed hands.

In the end, Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu earned one hundred and twenty-six billion spirit stones.

After the main auction was the blind auction.

This auction didn’t involve blind boxes.

Instead, it was an auction of unknown things that couldn’t be properly appraised.

"The first item is this stone slab." Sun Cheng said, pointing at an item.

At a glance, the stone looked like a piece of broken wall.

It had jagged edges and was only fifty centimetres long on its widest side.

However, strange characters were etched on its surfaces, making it look more mysterious than an ordinary stone.

"Those characters..." Yang Shi exclaimed and subconsciously stood.

At the same time, he glanced at Feng Xue, and she nodded in understanding.

However, Dongfang Jing and Chen Yi were in the box, so the two didn’t openly explain.

Instead, Feng Xue turned to Shen Xu.

"Shen Xu, you can buy this stone." She said, and Shen Xu nodded.

Although he didn’t know what was special about the stone, he knew Feng Xue and Yang Shi wouldn’t cheat him. Since they asked him to buy it, the stone was definitely a good thing.

On stage, Sun Cheng began describing the stone.

"Excluding the unknown characters on its surfaces, this stone is ordinary. That said, our appraisers feel the stone has an extraordinary origin but can’t decipher the characters."

After saying that, Sun Cheng looked at the crowd and began.

"The starting price is one million, and every increment must not be less than one thousand." He said.
