Nine Revolutions Star Transformation-Chapter 243 - 242: The Final Auction (Part 1)

Chu Lin was cautious on his way back. The matter with the Cyan Frost Sword seemed settled, but the danger he faced was not resolved, so he must return quickly.

Fortunately, nothing happened on the way, though Meng Ji effortlessly making him almost cough up blood was annoying. Since when did he become so cowardly, needing to hide at the sight of someone stronger?

His desire for strength grew stronger, and upon returning to VIP room number three, Ling’er had already left, leaving only Wei Qun in the room.

"Xiaotian, why do you look so pale? What happened?" Wei Qun immediately asked.

"It’s nothing, the wind outside is strong, and I was in a hurry. I need to cultivate a bit, so don’t disturb me. Once tomorrow’s affairs are over, we head straight to the Imperial City," said Chu Linfeng.

Without caring about Wei Qun’s expression, he took out a Star Stone from the Storage Ring and started absorbing it.

The Star Power quickly reached his Dantian, and Chu Linfeng began circulating it within. Meng Ji’s casual gesture still left a dull pain in his chest, indicating the strength of the force.

Not knowing how much time passed, Chu Linfeng felt the pain dissipate and asked Sword Spirit, "Sister Yue’Er, why could Meng Ji make the Cyan Frost Sword glow?"

After a while, Sword Spirit replied, "I thought you wouldn’t ask. The Demoness has Demon Blood, which repels the seal on the Cyan Frost Sword. However, it seals an incredibly powerful demon’s Residual Soul, and Meng Ji, being its offspring, resonated with it, causing the sound."

"So does that mean Meng Ji is a millennia-old demon?" Chu Linfeng asked.

"Not really. Her age might be similar to yours. Remember the strange phenomenon when gaining the Reincarnation Bracelet? Some places where a day inside might equate to a year or more outside, it’s not surprising.

You should focus on enhancing your strength. You’ve obtained an Earth Spirit Pearl. Although its essence diminished, it’s enough for you to practice Earth Transformation.

However, mastering Earth Transformation requires understanding the Earth Element, which may be challenging for you. If it were a Wind Spirit Pearl, you could probably practice Wind Transformation, but Wind Spirit Pearls are extremely rare, unlike the more common Five Great Spiritual Pearls."

After hearing this, Chu Linfeng made up his mind. Comprehending an element requires a subtle harmony, much like when he grasped the Wind Element. Once you seize that subtle feeling, comprehension follows.

Chu Linfeng continued absorbing the Star Power. Unknowingly, dawn arrived, indicating the start of the final day’s auction.

Chu Linfeng ceased his cultivation and quietly rested in a chair, awaiting the appearance of items he needed.

Soon, outside noises began. Chu Linfeng knew people were arriving at the auction, while Wei Qun watched the commotion below intently.

As everyone awaited anxiously, two people walked to the auction stage: an elder from Wenqin Auction House and Ling’er. Their arrival quieted the once-bustling auction house immediately.

"Esteemed guests, today marks the last auction day in Xuanwu City, and it promises to be the most exciting and intense. Naturally, the final items are what everyone desires the most, and Wenqin and Pingwu will conclude the auction together!" the elder loudly announced to everyone below.

The auction site buzzed with excitement again, but Ling’er raised her hand to quell the noise before speaking, "The first item today is from Wenqin Auction House, a Profound Tier Top Grade Martial Arts Manual named Blazing Sword Technique. Starting at fifty thousand Star Stones, with minimum increments of ten thousand. The auction begins now."

Ling’er waved a somewhat yellowed martial arts manual, sparking a frenzy among the crowd below once more.

"I’ll bid fifty thousand Star Stones! Don’t compete with me! I’ve needed a martial arts manual for quite some time," declared a middle-aged man in the front row, shouting to everyone.

"I bid sixty thousand Star Stones; I must have this manual!" someone else declared.

"Damn it, Wang the Second, are you trying to cross me? I claimed it first!" the middle-aged man shouted.

"Seventy thousand Star Stones! If you two want it, come find me at the Chen Family!" an elder declared.

"The Chen Family ranks among the top ten in Xuanwu City, and their background and strength are formidable. It seems those two have no choice but to give up," someone whispered.

Suddenly, a purple light flashed from the auction platform, indicating a bid from VIP room number seven. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"VIP room number seven bids one hundred thousand Star Stones. Is there a higher bid?" Ling’er asked.

The entire place fell silent. Those in the VIP rooms were incredibly powerful individuals. Seeing Tuoba Clan, ranked sixth in Xuanwu City, seated in the regular area spoke volumes.

Even the sixth-ranked family couldn’t enter a VIP room, revealing the strength of the people in them.

Everyone waited for bids from VIP rooms one, three, and four from the previous day, but minutes passed without a bid, leaving the martial arts manual to VIP room seven.

"The second item up for auction comes from Pingwu Auction House, a Magic Beast Egg from a King Tier Flying Magical Beast. Should it hatch, you’ll know what that means. Starting at eighty thousand Star Stones, with increments no less than ten thousand Star Stones," the elder declared.

No sooner had he spoken than someone bid ninety thousand Star Stones, indicating the Magic Beast Egg’s immense appeal.

Sitting in the VIP room, Chu Linfeng remained indifferent to these items but felt a sense of wonder. At Celestial Dragon Academy, even obtaining a few Lower Grade Star Stones was extremely difficult, while here, tens of thousands of Star Stones exchanged hands with ease. Truly a world apart.

Wei Qun wanted to consult Chu Linfeng about bidding several times, but refrained upon seeing his indifferent expression.

Ultimately, the Magic Beast Egg was purchased by the Tuoba Clan in the common area.

The auction continued intensely and nervously, and after about two hours, Ling’er announced, "The next item is exceedingly rare, from Wenqin Auction House. It has significant restorative effects for those with soul injuries, and is called Plant Soul Snow Grass, with a starting price of one hundred thousand Star Stones and minimum bids of twenty thousand. Bidding begins now."

After Ling’er spoke, no one bid for a while, leaving everyone puzzled. Such a soul-restoring herb valued at one hundred thousand, yet no interest?

"No bids? Then let’s proceed to auction the next item!" Ling’er declared after waiting, with no one bidding.

At this moment, Chu Linfeng said, "Brother Wei, bid one hundred thousand Star Stones for the Soul Snow Grass!"

Wei Qun looked at Chu Linfeng in confusion. "Though rare, this spirit medicine means little to us. Why buy it?"

"Just buy it, no questions," Chu Linfeng replied calmly.

Shaking his head, Wei Qun pressed the button for one hundred thousand, making the auction platform glow yellow...
