Chapter 1620: Treasure Auction, Too Much to Handle_1 Chapter 1620: Treasure Auction, Too Much to Handle_1 Editor: Henyee Translations “Have you heard?
There’s a precious treasure being auctioned this time!
Many immortal sects around Gulan City have sent their representatives!” “Hehe, who hasn’t heard?
I even know where this treasure came from!” “Oh?
There’s such a story?
Quickly, tell me, old friend!” “Hehe, this treasure for auction is related to the Xuan ImmortalaEUR|” In the vast and echoing auction hall, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan quietly sat at a jade stone table, sipping the rich and fragrant immortal tea.
They listened intently to the intermittent conversations around them.
It had been half an hour since they entered the auction hall.
With more and more immortals arriving in groups, the atmosphere had become lively, and the place was now bustling with activity.
Having kept an eye on the entrance, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan noticed nearly a dozen Celestial Immortals walking by.
They also overheard many rumors, including the origins of the items being auctioned and some gossip about the local sects, their alliances, and rivalries.
Some of the stories were amusing, while others held a kernel of truth.
For instance, they now knew that this particular auction at the Zungu Auction House coincided with a major event, with nearly all the surrounding immortal sects sending their representatives to attend.
In fact, several sects with Celestial Immortals stationed in Gulan City had also sent their people.
“Dong!
Dong!
Dong!” As Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were enjoying the conversations around them, the sound of a solemn bell suddenly rang out from the valley.
The deep and low vibrations of the bell echoed through the circular mountain walls, gradually rising like waves, reaching a peak that resonated throughout the entire place.
Immediately, the auction hall fell silent.
All conversations ceased, and figures rose from their white jade seats, walking to the edge of the pavilions to lean on the railings and look toward the source of the sound.
“Boom!” With a resounding blast, a nine-colored energy, accompanied by a torrent of immortal light, erupted from below and soared upward.
It reached the sky above the hall, transforming into a layer of vibrant, chaotic, colorful glaze.
“Fellow cultivators!
Welcome to the Zungu Auction!” “Do not blink, for the treasures you have been waiting for are about to be auctioned!” As everyone’s gaze was drawn to the source of the sound, the booming voice echoed through the hall, and the dense mist and clouds that had enveloped the area were parted by an invisible hand, as if a curtain was being drawn back.
A figure then appeared before everyone’s eyes.
It was a slender and graceful figure, exuding charm and elegance.
She wore dark golden, luxurious robes that shimmered with treasure light, accentuating her flawless curves.
Her hair was adorned with a jeweled pin, and her entire being radiated with immortal light, making her appear like a proud phoenix.
Needless to say, this woman was the auctioneer for the event.
“Oooh!” Her identity as a female cultivator sparked a wave of excitement throughout the auction hall.
Many immortals cheered loudly.
Though some were not moved by her beauty, the atmosphere had clearly heated up.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s eyes also glowed with anticipation, though their focus was not on the auctioneer.
After a brief introduction, the auctioneer smiled brightly and exchanged some pleasantries.
Then, with a gentle clap of her jade-like hands, the entire high platform trembled as a treasure was presented for the auction.
“The first treasure of today’s auction is the Heavenly Source Pill, crafted by the renowned alchemist, Guler!
It has the power to assist Celestial Immortals in breaking through their realm!” “Its value is self-evident.
The starting bid is 500,000 auction points!” As the auctioneer spoke, the first treasure to be auctioned was revealed, causing a stir among the cultivators present.
The Heavenly Source Pill, capable of helping Celestial Immortals break through their boundaries, was enough to make even the Celestial Immortals’ eyes turn red with greed.
Although the effect wasn’t as overpowered as the Heaven-Splitting Pill from Jiang Chengxuan’s system, which could directly break through the realm, the Heavenly Source Pill could still increase the probability of a breakthrough, which was something all Celestial Immortals coveted.
After all, the system’s rewards were far more powerful and extraordinary than anything in this world, and even items similar to those rewards were considered rare treasures.
Jiang Chengxuan himself was tempted when he heard about the Heavenly Source Pill’s effects.
He hadn’t yet acquired the formula to make such a pill, and if he had the chance to bid for it and give it to Shen Ruyan, it would be a good gain.
However, when he looked at Shen Ruyan, she gently shook her head, signaling her refusal.
Having just broken through to the Celestial Immortal realm, she felt it was too early to consider breaking through again.
Jiang Chengxuan understood her decision and chose to remain silent about this pill.
“I bid 800,000 points!” “I bid 880,000!” “I bid 900,000!
Kneel before me, all of you!” In the span of a few moments, the voices from different pavilions rose and fell, and the bidding for the Heavenly Source Pill had nearly doubled.
The fervor was palpable.
Finally, with the auctioneer’s beaming smile, the Heavenly Source Pill was sold for 1.1 million points, leaving everyone stunned.
To put it into perspective, Jiang Chengxuan had exchanged his Celestial Immortal source item for only 1.5 million points, but this pill had fetched 1.2 million points.
This showed just how highly sought after it wasaEUR”far beyond what Jiang Chengxuan had anticipated.
Alchemy had always been one of the most profitable and sought-after arts in the immortal world.
“Congratulations to the esteemed Celestial Immortal who won the pill!
Let’s move on to the next item!” The auctioneer’s announcement stirred the crowd’s desires once again.
Quickly, she took another item out of her sleeves, swaying gracefully in her robes, ready to present the next treasure for auction.
