Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law-Chapter 821 - 820: The Auction Begins

"I wonder what the first auction item will be, I’m really looking forward to it."

"No matter what the auction item is, just having Ouyang Baixin host it is already a feast for the eyes."

"Yes, just looking at her makes me intoxicated."

...

A buzz of conversation surrounded the area.

It had to be said that Ouyang Baixin’s charisma was truly extraordinary.

Even male Cultivators above the Tenth Rank found it difficult to resist her charm.

Ouyang Baixin stood on the stage, like a perfect piece of artwork.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I won’t waste any more of your time, let’s dive straight into the auction. This first item is no ordinary treasure, and I believe many of you will be interested," Ouyang Baixin announced.

As she finished speaking, a jade box appeared in front of her. As the box opened, a plant emitting a rainbow divine light became visible to all.

"Is this Divine Spirit Grass?" someone immediately exclaimed from the audience.

"Yes, it is Divine Spirit Grass, the legendary Divine Spirit Grass. It’s a legendary Divine Level herb that only grows in the Divine Realm, and I didn’t expect it to be the first item at this auction," another person added.

"It’s actually Divine Spirit Grass, such a precious treasure! We must acquire it as it can save lives at critical moments and rapidly enhance one’s Cultivation."

The crowd was thrilled, their eyes heating up at the sight of the herb.

Xu Ping’an was also surprised.

This Tai Xuan Trading House’s auction was indeed extraordinary; the first item itself was so shocking that this kind of herb would be the highlight at any auction.

Of course, it wouldn’t be surprising if the Tai Xuan Trading House intended to use this item to spark enthusiasm at the auction.

However, much as the Divine Spirit Grass was valuable, it wasn’t particularly attractive to Xu Ping’an.

"As you can all see, this is a thirty-thousand-year-old Divine Spirit Grass, a Divine Level herb. It can not only allow an Immortal Emperor Realm powerhouse to advance two cultivation levels, but it can also instantly heal those with serious injuries and even treat certain Dao Laws scars," Ouyang Baixin explained.

As she spoke, the eagerness in many people’s eyes grew intense.

A Divine Level herb that could enhance an Immortal Emperor Realm powerhouse by two cultivation levels—its value was beyond measure.

Soon, people began to get excited and prepared to make their bids.

Ouyang Baixin, skilled in stirring emotions, observed the mood of the room and said, "The starting bid for this item is two hundred thousand Superior Grade Spirit Stones, and each subsequent bid must increase by at least ten thousand."

Two hundred thousand?

The crowd gasped.

Such a price was not cheap.

The item was indeed excellent, but the price was also formidable.

Just the starting bid was already two hundred thousand; acquiring this item might well require up to five hundred thousand.

Xu Ping’an was also evidently surprised.

The starting price of the first auction item was this high; it might be difficult to bid on anything but the Thousand Mechanisms Pagoda with the Superior Grade Spirit Stones he had brought.

"I bid two hundred thousand," someone called out immediately.

"I bid two hundred and fifty thousand," another quickly raised the bid.

"I bid three hundred thousand."

"Three hundred and twenty!"

"Three hundred and fifty!"

...

The bidding continued, and the price kept rising.

Indeed, many desired such an incredibly precious herb.

Although several hundred thousand Superior Grade Spirit Stones were a vast fortune to many, for some major forces, especially deeply established Ancient Sects, this was easily affordable. These powers had accumulated wealth over tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years, with some being incredibly formidable.

As for Xu Ping’an, he had no intention of bidding because he knew that acquiring such a treasure would come at a great cost.

"Fifty million!"

Sure enough, someone from a high-tier private room upstairs began to bid, and it was someone from a ’Land’ designated room.

Those downstairs could only give up.

After all, such a price was beyond their financial reach.

"Land Room Number Three bids fifty million, anyone else willing to raise?" Ouyang Baixin called out.

"Sixty million!"

However, at this moment, a commanding voice came from Sky Room Number Five.

Everyone around exclaimed in shock.

Sixty million?

Who was this, so willing to spend lavishly?

Although Divine Spirit Grass was an incredibly precious treasure, spending sixty million seemed like a loss.

After this bid, no one else raised the price.

"Congratulations to the guest in Sky Room Number Five for acquiring this first auction item," Ouyang Baixin announced.

Xu Ping’an was also feeling emotional.

This first auction item was sold for such a high price; how would the following items sell?

Others were also curious.

"Next, we will proceed with the second auction item, which is a weapon, yes, a Low Grade Divine Artifact,"

The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.

Ouyang Baixin said.

As she finished speaking, a simple battle sabre appeared in front of her, its aura emitting powerful force fluctuations.

Everyone felt a terrifying murderous intent surge towards them.

Xu Ping’an’s eyes brightened; as an Artifact Refiner, he could tell at a glance that this sabre was extraordinary.

"What a magnificent sabre, definitely a sabre of slaughter. The owner of this sabre must have been a powerhouse, and it likely contains the inheritance of his swordsmanship," Xu Ping’an muttered to himself.

Just looking at the sabre, even he found it difficult to directly gaze at its edge, indicating the possible terrifying value of this weapon.

However, as he didn’t practice swordsmanship, the weapon, despite being excellent, held very limited attraction for him.

But for many in the audience who wielded sabres, this was a dream treasure.

"This sabre is called the Zhan Ling Sabre, left by a Divine Level powerhouse named Chi Guang, who was a strong swordsman during his life. This sabre possibly contains his Sword Technique Divine Skill; even if not, it certainly holds the True Intention of his swordsmanship, hence the strong sabre qi it still harbors,"

Ouyang Baixin introduced.

The crowd gasped in unison.

Containing the sabre qi of a Divine Level powerhouse, just this fact alone made the sabre’s value far exceed that of a typical Low Grade Divine Artifact.

If it indeed contained a Sword Technique Divine Skill, its value would be even greater.

"The starting bid for this Divine Artifact is also two hundred thousand, with each increase no less than ten thousand. Let’s begin the bidding," Ouyang Baixin announced.

"Two hundred thousand!"

"Three hundred thousand!"

"Three hundred and fifty thousand!"

...

Immediately, a series of shouts rang out, and the price rapidly escalated.

Quickly, the bidding had surpassed six hundred thousand.
