Chapter 506 - 505: Pure Yang Treasure Iron!
Unless it is a Spirit Treasure, an Innate Spirit Root, or some form of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, he wouldn’t be interested.
As for those he already possesses, Gu Yuan is not really interested.
However, an intriguing item appeared next, even Gu Yuan was surprised.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are now starting the auction for the next item. I believe many of you will find this item interesting."
As True Master Shu Tong spoke from the high platform, a maid with a beautiful appearance and a graceful figure came up, holding a tray in her hands.
Though the maid was striking in appearance, with stunning presence, at this moment, no one spared her a glance; their gazes were all fixed on the tray she held.
In the tray, there was obviously an item, not very large, about the size of a chicken egg, covered with a handkerchief, and no Divine Thought could penetrate it.
At this time, True Master Shu Tong continued, "This item is one of the Nine Divine Metals, a piece of Western True Gold, weighing around seven hundred and sixty-three pounds, with extremely high purity."
"The starting bid is one hundred and fifty thousand Spirit Stones, with each bid increase no less than ten thousand Spirit Stones. Of course, if any fellow cultivator can offer spiritual materials or magical artifacts of the same level, they will have higher priority. So now, cultivators may start bidding..."
As soon as the words fell, the large auction house fell into silence.
For a moment, surprisingly, no one spoke.
Many people cast fervent gazes toward the tray.
To be precise, at the item inside the tray.
And just then, the maid removed the handkerchief, revealing a roughly chicken egg-sized, irregularly shaped dark gold metal block below.
Anyone who looked at it felt a slight sting in their eyes. Instinctively, they averted their gaze, yet their hearts started to heat up.
Western True Gold!
This is recognized as one of the Nine Divine Metals in the world!
It’s one of the most suitable spiritual materials for sacrificing Spirit Treasures!
Its appearance at this auction truly caught many by surprise.
Especially some Celestial Human Realm cultivators, whose eyes lit up brightly.
But soon, they dimmed down.
The reason is simple.
With a starting price of one hundred and fifty thousand, they couldn’t afford it, not to mention that even with a rough guess, you would know it wouldn’t sell for less than three to five hundred thousand Spirit Stones.
However, many Golden Core Great Cultivators from various cultivation forces or Yin God Giants felt a sudden heart flutter.
The true inheritances of great sects often seek rare materials to sacrifice their Lifebound Magical Artifacts and Magical Treasures.
Because the better the material, the greater the power and potential for the future!
Some lifebound items can even ascend to become Spirit Treasures along with the cultivator’s ascension.
Many Great Immortal Sects are very enthusiastic about such spiritual materials.
Because even if they can’t use it themselves, they can leave it for their disciples in their sect.
So quickly, someone directly placed a bid:
"Two hundred thousand Spirit Stones!"
The bid came from a distinguished guest in one of the upstairs private rooms, increasing the price by fifty thousand Spirit Stones at once, yet no one was surprised by this.
A voice came from another private room not far away: "Two hundred and fifty thousand..."
"I bid two hundred and eighty thousand!"
"Three hundred thousand Spirit Stones!"
...
In a short time, the price soared continuously.
Later on, even a Yin God Giant offered several high-quality Spirit Medicines with excellent age, trying to trade goods for goods.
After a simple appraisal, the value of those Spirit Medicines was around three hundred and eighty thousand.
However, that price was quickly broken by someone else, who called out an even higher price.
By this time, there were actually very few people bidding.
Although Western True Gold is rare and precious, those who came here usually had a certain purpose.
The vast majority simply couldn’t afford it, and the remaining few couldn’t possibly exhaust all their wealth for this piece of Western True Gold.
Meanwhile, in the private room where Gu Yuan was, his expression turned somewhat peculiar.
With a thought, he had already taken something from his Storage Pouch.
This was also a piece of Divine Gold, even larger than the Western True Gold on the high platform, like a pebble, with a red-black texture, exuding a faint red glow, radiating a pure and scorching aura.
Pure Yang Treasure Iron!
This was also one of the Nine Divine Metals and is extremely rare, suitable for sacrificing Pure Yang Attribute Magical Treasures or Spirit Treasures.
Speaking of which, this piece of Pure Yang Treasure Iron was obtained by Gu Yuan after killing a cultivator by chance.
In recent years, Gu Yuan had slain quite a number of cultivators, including some Golden Core Great Cultivators.
These individuals often had considerable wealth, and Gu Yuan himself had forgotten which Storage Pouch he found this Pure Yang Treasure Iron in.
However, after discovering it, he cherished it greatly and kept it safe.
For the time being, he didn’t need it, but he could use it to exchange for other necessary items.
At this moment, Gu Yuan suddenly heard a faint voice coming from a certain pavilion above, saying, "Twenty thousand Spirit Stones, along with a Middle Grade Magical Treasure, the Five Fire Demon Bird Fan!"
Though the voice was calm, Gu Yuan detected a hint of the sharp and compelling aura typical of a Sword Cultivator.
He immediately understood that the speaker was none other than Yan Chunyang of the Heaven-Sundering Sword Sect!
And once Yan Chunyang placed his bid, the entire auction house fell silent for a moment.
However, no one was surprised by this bid.
Because the Nine Divine Metals are mostly used to sacrifice Magical Treasures and Spirit Treasures meant for offensive purposes like weapons and swords.
Especially Western True Gold, known for its hardness and sharpness, is one of the top-grade materials for sacrificing flying swords for Yin Spirit Sword Immortals like Yan Chunyang. Even if merged into his Lifebound Flying Sword, it could enhance its power.
Therefore, Yan Chunyang naturally wouldn’t miss such a good thing.
After Yan Chunyang’s bid, the entire auction house was notably quiet, with no new bids.
Truly, Yan Chunyang’s strength was too great, and his reputation too formidable, not to mention his terrifying ability to kill. Even several Yin God Giants at the same level had died at his sword. As for other souls, there were countless, making him incredibly powerful and isolating him in a league of his own.
So, few dared to offend such a person.
"This humble monk bids thirty thousand Spirit Stones, along with a Lower Grade Magical Treasure nearing Middle Grade."
However, at this moment, a low and old voice rang out.
"Is that the old monk Ku Rong? Did he come today?"
Gu Yuan raised his eyebrows, seemingly surprised.
This voice belonged to the old monk Ku Rong whom he had encountered earlier. Unexpectedly, he too was interested in this Western True Gold.
And the monks’ position wasn’t on a pavilion on the fourth floor but in a private room somewhere on the sixth floor like Gu Yuan.
After the old monk Ku Rong’s bid, Yan Chunyang’s voice rang out again: "Besides the Magical Treasure, I also bid thirty-five thousand Spirit Stones."
Though Yan Chunyang’s voice was calm, it carried an unwavering determination, and almost everyone could feel a sense that he wouldn’t stop until he achieved his goal.
