Chapter 897: Rare Dragon Stone
"Are these people crazy? It’s just an elixir, and they’re selling it at such a high price?"
Listening to the ever-increasing Profound Crystals, Lin Kuang thought somewhat shocked.
Of course, for Lin Kuang, breakthroughs never seemed difficult. They were always smooth and natural, happening at the critical moment. Therefore, Lin Kuang was never stuck at any Realm for too long, and he didn’t know what Martial Artists felt when stuck at a Realm for long.
Some people are stuck at a Realm for decades, or even hundreds of years, and such a feeling is naturally frustrating.
So they want to break through, and since they can’t do it with their own strength, they can only rely on elixirs.
Moreover, this Barrier-Breaking Pill is a powerful elixir that can allow True Realm Martial Artists to ascend directly into the Contending Realm!
One must know that a Contending Realm Martial Artist represents a formidable fighting power. If a family or a sect has a Contending Realm expert appear, it can definitely improve the family’s or the sect’s situation!
In this way, the price of the Barrier-Breaking Pill is naturally extremely high.
At this moment, the price of the Barrier-Breaking Pill has soared to three hundred thousand, and now, there are far fewer competitors, leaving only a few people.
After all, this price is already unaffordable for many people.
"Three hundred and ten thousand!"
Someone said in a low voice, obviously this price is close to the limit in that person’s heart.
"Three hundred and twenty thousand!"
Someone said through clenched teeth, seemingly already at their bottom line.
"Three hundred and fifty thousand!"
At this moment, someone shouted again.
At this moment, everyone fell silent; no one spoke. Three hundred and fifty thousand Low Grade Profound Crystals, it was definitely an astronomical price!
Some people wanted to increase the bid but didn’t have that many Profound Crystals.
"Three hundred and fifty thousand Low Grade Profound Crystals once. Ladies and gentlemen, is there a higher bid? If not, this Barrier-Breaking Pill will belong to the bidding guest."
At this moment, Lan Ji smiled and spoke, her beautiful eyes sweeping through the crowd.
Upon hearing this, no one spoke; the price was too high, and no one could afford it.
In the end, the Barrier-Breaking Pill was sold for three hundred and fifty thousand Low Grade Profound Crystals.
The person who bought the Profound Crystals breathed a sigh of relief, while some who didn’t win it said nothing, but were not reconciled, sending people to investigate who bought the Barrier-Breaking Pill.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the last item remains.
This item - we don’t know what it is, nor do we know its purpose.
However, it is very mysterious; even our artifact refining master is unable to refine it, and our Contending Realm Martial Artists from Wanbao Tower could not crush it.
Since its purpose is uncertain but mysterious, Wanbao Tower decided to auction it.
Perhaps someone present, with broader knowledge, might recognize it or find it useful. If anyone finds it valuable, feel free to bid."
Lan Ji smiled as she spoke.
The next moment, the Light Barrier on the pedestal by her side disappeared, revealing a black stone.
The stone looked only fist-sized, simple and unadorned, nothing special, just like an ordinary stone.
People present curiously looked at the fist-sized stone, but were disappointed, as no one recognized what it was.
"Ladies and gentlemen, due to the unusual nature of the black stone, the starting bid is ten thousand Low Grade Profound Crystals, and each increment must be at least one hundred."
Lan Ji said with a smile.
She didn’t know whether this item could be auctioned off, as Wanbao Tower was also taking a chance; selling it would be good, and if not, it was also fine.
Lin Kuang also quietly watched that black stone; he could not see anything special about it, thinking it seemed very ordinary, as if it had no use.
But at this moment, the Black Dragon Sword within Lin Kuang erupted with a strong surge, and a voice rang in Lin Kuang’s mind: "Buy it, you must buy it; that is a priceless treasure!"
The excited voice of the Black Dragon echoed in Lin Kuang’s mind, urgency evident in the voice.
"Huh? You’re the Black Dragon?"
Lin Kuang asked dumbfoundedly in his mind.
"Yes, it’s me. You must buy that Dragon Stone; it’s a priceless treasure."
The Black Dragon spoke again, sounding very excited.
"Dragon Stone? Alright, I’ll buy it.
But, tell me, what is this Dragon Stone?"
Lin Kuang curiously asked in his mind.
Upon hearing this, the Black Dragon spoke again: "Dragon Stone is the essence of the ancestors of the Giant Dragons.
If I absorb this stone, my power will greatly increase, and the Black Dragon Sword’s might will have tremendous enhancement.
Moreover, within the Dragon Stone is a unique treasure called Dragon Essence.
It is the condensed essence of a Giant Dragon’s whole body, one of heaven and earth’s treasures.
If you obtain Dragon Essence, your cultivation of the Dragon Transformation Art will be greatly enhanced, with countless miraculous uses.
So, no matter the cost in Profound Crystals, you must acquire the Dragon Stone."
The Black Dragon seriously spoke.
Upon hearing this, Lin Kuang nodded, yet his heart was filled with immense shock; the seemingly ordinary black stone before him turned out to be the Dragon Stone!
Although Lin Kuang had never heard of Dragon Stones, the Black Dragon’s words made it clear; this Dragon Stone was definitely a supreme treasure.
Especially the Dragon Essence within the Stone could aid his cultivation of the Dragon Transformation Art; naturally, Lin Kuang was very excited.
"Alright, no rush; let’s see if anyone bids first. We’ll wait."
Lin Kuang thought in his mind.
The Black Dragon agreed.
"What’s just five thousand Low Grade Profound Crystals? I’ll buy it for fun. I’ll bid five thousand one hundred."
At that moment, someone spoke.
"I’ll join the fun, five thousand two hundred."
At this moment, someone spoke again, clearly also with a playful attitude.
"Five thousand three hundred, let’s see it."
Someone spoke with a soft voice.
"I love peculiar items; I’ll go for five thousand five."
At this moment, Lin Kuang said with a smile, appearing very calm, without showing anything odd.
"I like to play with these odd items too.
I’ll bid six thousand."
Someone said with a smile, apparently unwilling to let Lin Kuang easily acquire the Dragon Stone.
"You’re competing over a random stone?
Then I’ll have fun, six thousand two."
At that moment, someone smiled and spoke again.
Listening to the continuous bids, Lin Kuang couldn’t help but frown.
It seemed these people weren’t foolish. Some might just want to buy it to study, but some might have recognized the Dragon Stone, or were suspicious.
Therefore, the price hadn’t risen much; everyone seemed to have a mutual understanding, with bids increased by a few hundred or perhaps a thousand, appearing very gentle.
And now, an abrupt voice rang out: "Thirty thousand!"
