Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law-Chapter 825 - 824: The Final Auction Item

As a cultivator who had comprehended the spatial attribute Dao Laws, if he could obtain the Divine Skills inheritance of the silver-heart bird, it would undoubtedly greatly enhance his control over space.

However, even in death, these silver-heart birds would typically bury themselves in the endless void.

It was generally very difficult to find their bodies, and one wondered how the Tai Xuan Trading Company had managed to find one here.

"Ladies and gentlemen," Ouyang Baixin continued to announce, "after consulting many records, we have verified that this is the rare Divine Beast known as the silver-heart bird. Although this kind of Divine Beast is not very powerful, they possess a strong ability to travel through space. If one can obtain its inherited Divine Skill, it is undoubtedly a treasure."

The crowd around became excitedly agitated.

For many cultivators, the ability to travel through space held a deadly attraction.

If one mastered such a Divine Skill, it would undoubtedly greatly enhance one’s means of survival, and even one’s attack methods would be significantly increased.

Xu Ping’an could think of this, and naturally, so could everyone else.

"Miss Ouyang, please state the starting bid," someone excitedly shouted from the floor.

Ouyang Baixin smiled and said, "Because the body of this kind of Divine Beast is extremely rare, the starting bid for this auction is one million, with each bid not to increase by less than one hundred thousand."

"One million? And each increase not less than one hundred thousand?" Someone exclaimed on the spot.

There were sighs over the high price.

Even Xu Ping’an frowned to the extreme in a moment.

He only had one million two hundred thousand Superior Grade Spirit Stones on him, making it nearly impossible to win the bid for this body.

But the silver-heart bird would be really useful to him.

If he could obtain its body, it would be like adding wings to a tiger; unfortunately, the Spirit Stones he had were not enough.

Xu Ping’an carefully considered but realized he had nothing valuable to sell.

Reluctantly, Xu Ping’an had no choice but to give up.

"I bid one million two hundred thousand!"

"One million three hundred thousand!"

"One million five hundred thousand!"

...

A string of bids quickly erupted.

Xu Ping’an watched the price soar and shook his head helplessly.

Unless he sold some of the extremely valuable items he had, it was impossible to win the bid for this body.

But those treasures still had significant uses for him, so he could only continue to watch the auction.

At that moment, Xu Ping’an truly felt how poor he was.

But he couldn’t be blamed; he was just one person, while many behind these bidders had vast and powerful factions.

Their depth was beyond his imagination.

"I bid two million," shouted someone from Box No. 2 with the character "Earth" just then.

Him again?

The people around were speechless.

The Mysterious Yellow Sect really did have deep pockets.

"Two million one hundred thousand," someone from Box No. 5 with the character "Heaven" bid.

Xu Ping’an glanced at the bidder; he was also a young man who seemed to be from an Ancient Sect.

He was very strong, having already reached the Fifth Layer of the Immortal Emperor Realm.

He must be a top genius from an Ancient Sect, but it was unclear which Sect he came from.

"Hmph, I bid two million three hundred thousand," Mo Ya once again belligerently called.

"Two million four hundred thousand!" the youngster from the Ancient Sect continued to bid.

The crowd around marveled incessantly.

Two million four hundred thousand!

That was a staggering amount of wealth.

The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.

"Two million five hundred thousand!" Mo Ya called out furiously.

"Two million six hundred thousand!" the other party responded calmly.

This time Mo Ya was thoroughly enraged.

"Three million!" Mo Ya called out.

Three million?

Everyone gasped in shock.

Xu Ping’an also shook his head with a face full of emotion.

Three million, Mo Ya really was a madman, offering such a high price just for the sake of one breath.

"Brother Mo, this might not be appropriate. The Sect Master has instructed us to bid for the last treasure; with this, you might not have the strength to compete for the final item," Yu Wei hurriedly advised.

"It’s not your place to interfere with my business. I know what I’m doing. The corpse of the Silver Heart Bird is also a treasure; what’s the problem with me obtaining this item?" Mo Ya retorted with a cold snort.

Yu Wei instantly shut up, her face filled with embarrassment.

She knew Mo Ya was always autocratic, but she hadn’t expected him to be so resistant to advice.

As expected, the young man in the ’Heaven’ character private box did not raise the bid anymore.

After all, the other party was not a fool to quarrel with a madman.

In this way, the auctioned item simply fell into Mo Ya’s hands.

"This is interesting. In this case, I have a chance to get my hands on the Silver Heart Bird’s corpse," Xu Ping’an chuckled.

Since the Thousand Mechanism Pagoda was in Mo Ya’s hands, he was determined to obtain it no matter what.

In doing so, he wouldn’t mind becoming a thorough bandit when the time came.

"Congratulations to the distinguished guest in the ’Earth’ number two private box for obtaining the Silver Heart Bird’s corpse," Ouyang Baixin announced.

People around were full of emotion.

Three million was such a high price.

He was indeed willing to spend.

That price was almost enough to reach the cost of an intermediate-grade Divine Artifact.

For such a price, Xu Ping’an also felt it was excessively high.

Of course, that was because he didn’t have that many superior-grade Spirit Stones; if he did, he wouldn’t mind bidding for the Silver Heart Bird.

After all, its value was much greater to him than to others.

"Next, we will proceed with the last auction item, which is also the finale treasure of this auction. Its value exceeds the previous two combined," Ouyang Baixin began.

Upon hearing this, everyone was amazed.

More valuable than the previous two items? What on earth could it be?

Could it really be related to unlocking the Source Ground of Dao Principle as rumored?

Xu Ping’an became curious too.

Although he felt he didn’t have the power to bid for the item, it would still be good to have a look.

Ouyang Baixin stopped talking halfway through.

Everyone’s appetite was whetted, becoming somewhat anxious.

"Just say it, what is it exactly?"

"Yeah, what is it? Don’t keep us hanging."

...

People began to shout one after another.

Even the individuals in the ’Earth’ and ’Heaven’ private boxes were curious, clearly even they did not know what the last auction item was.

"Could it really be boots?" Xu Ping’an curiously joked.

"Boots? That’s unlikely, isn’t it?" Lv Yun said in surprise upon hearing Xu Ping’an’s words.

"I also think it’s unlikely, but someone said it’s a pair of shoes, so I’m curious too," Xu Ping’an laughed.

Before in the Heaven-Penetrating Mirror shard, Number Six had said that the most important item in this auction was a pair of shoes.

So he was curious whether Number Six was just talking nonsense or if it was actually the truth.

Seeing everyone becoming impatient, Ouyang Baixin immediately smiled and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is our final auction item."

After finishing her sentence, she waved her hand, and an exceedingly ancient pair of shoes appeared before everyone.

"Shoes?"

Everyone was blank-faced.

Xu Ping’an, however, was utterly astounded. Was it really a pair of shoes?

Was what Number Six said true?
