Sword Sovereign of the Celestial Emperor-Chapter 92, Bronze Armor

Next, quite a few martial artists entered, including many disciples from smaller sects. Although they were considered elite in their own sects, in the Great Yan Kingdom, they were insignificant.

The core disciple from Cyan Nether Mountain was a swordsman in a green robe, possessing unfathomable cultivation, his eyes sharp as lightning. Just one glance from him made people’s scalp tingle; ordinary martial artists quickly made way, not daring to approach.

As soon as he entered, Chu Ming felt a strong sword momentum rapidly gathering. Although this person’s strength couldn’t compare to Cyan Yang Sect’s core senior disciple Li Yuqing, he was still formidable, likely one of the stronger core disciples in Cyan Nether Mountain.

"Cyan Sword Leng Wuyan, I didn’t expect him to be here...."

"I just saw Burning Fire Valley’s core disciple Li Huo arrive, tsk tsk tsk. There’s going to be a good show."

"Hehe, Li Huo cannot compare with Leng Wuyan, he should look in the mirror! If it weren’t for him being Li Yun’s younger brother, he couldn’t be a core disciple of Burning Fire Valley."

"Shhh! Are you insane? Don’t let this word reach Li Huo’s ears, or you’re doomed." freewebnoveℓ.com

.....

"Cyan Sword, last time you defeated me, this time let’s compete again after the auction!" Burning Fire Valley’s core disciple Li Huo stood at the VIP room’s door, coldly saying, his aura pressuring towards Leng Wuyan.

"My target is your elder brother, as for you? A defeated opponent is not worthy to be my rival." Leng Wuyan lived up to his name, his words extremely cold, making people feel like they were in the midst of winter.

Facing Li Huo’s aura pressure, Leng Wuyan exuded a sharp Sword Dao cold edge, seeming to cut through Li Huo’s aura with countless sword blades.

"You think you can compete with my elder brother, what a joke!" Li Huo mocked Leng Wuyan in return, though he was not pleased inside. Whenever people talked about him, they always mentioned his elder brother, as if everything he had now was only because of his brother, which was intolerable for someone who prided himself on being exceptional.

"Hmph!" Cyan Sword Leng Wuyan remained silent, stepped into the VIP room, on one hand, Li Huo’s words were true, Li Yun’s strength was far beyond him. On the other hand, the auction was about to start, mutual mockery would only make fun of himself.

Very soon, the auction began.

The auctioneer with gray hair walked onto the stage, started with an opening speech, and then said, "There are a total of 120 items in this auction, including elixirs, spirit grass, weapons, cultivation techniques at various levels, many treasures, all must be bid with spirit stones. If there aren’t enough spirit stones, gold can be used to exchange spirit stones at a ratio of 1500:1, meaning 1500 taels of gold for one lower grade spirit stone."

The auction house allowed gold to be exchanged for spirit stones, but the ratio was astonishing compared to outside. The martial artists present were aware of this rule and did not show any surprise.

As the auctioneer’s words fell, the crowd immediately quieted down, a beautiful maid walked up with a tray.

"The first auction item, Fourth Level Spiritual Medicine Cold Ice Grass, as for its efficacy, I believe everyone present knows better than me, so I won’t elaborate. The starting price is 150 lower grade spirit stones, each increment no less than 10 lower grade spirit stones."

The auctioneer uncovered the red cloth on the tray, revealing a sky-blue herb emitting a faint coldness, crystal clear.

"160 lower grade spirit stones!"

"170 lower grade spirit stones!"

"....."

Those bidding were mostly powerful Transcendence Realm martial artists; True Dao martial artists did not bid. Cold Ice Grass, as Fourth Level Spirit Grass, could accelerate the condensation of Cold Ice Qi within martial artists’ bodies, highly alluring to those cultivating Ice Attribute techniques.

Soon, Cold Ice Grass was auctioned off to a Ninth Layer Transcendence Realm martial artist for 320 lower grade spirit stones.

Chu Ming ate a snack on the table, looking relaxed, leaning back on his chair. The early auction items wouldn’t be particularly valuable; some might be useful to certain martial artists, but he wouldn’t bid. Watching everyone enthusiastically bidding was quite entertaining.

After Burning Fire Valley’s core disciple Li Huo and Cyan Nether Mountain’s core disciple Leng Wuyan entered the VIP room, they remained silent, clearly unimpressed by the early items.

"Next auction item, Profound Level Intermediate Defense Armor, Bronze Armor, starting price 1000 lower grade spirit stones, each increment no less than 50 lower grade spirit stones."

Unexpectedly, a Profound Level Intermediate Defense Armor appeared. Chu Ming felt a bit tempted. He was still wearing Gold Top Tier Flowing Light Armor, which used to be good, but now, with his current strength, it was unsuitable.

Profound Level Intermediate Defense Armor would be perfect for him; he couldn’t even dream of Profound Level High Tier Defense Armor, probably even Ironfire City’s City Lord, Ling Fan, only wore Profound Level High Tier Defense Armor.

Not to mention the price, wearing it would likely attract numerous vagrant attacks.

Though tempted, Chu Ming didn’t immediately bid, preparing to secure it in the final moments.

As prices climbed, even some True Dao Martial Artists joined the bidding, though they were few.

"3000 lower grade spirit stones!" An arrogant voice came from Li Huo’s VIP room, suppressing all other bids, the other martial artists fell silent.

Firstly, they were intimidated by Li Huo’s price; a Profound Level Intermediate Defense Armor typically cost around 3000 lower grade spirit stones, more wouldn’t be worth it.

Secondly, bidding against Li Huo would offend him indirectly, which wasn’t frightening in itself, but his elder brother was among Great Yan Kingdom’s top five talents, potentially dominating the kingdom in the future. Offending Li Huo meant indirectly offending Li Yun.

"3100 lower grade spirit stones!"

Just when everyone thought no one would bid, a clear voice suddenly emanated from a VIP room, freezing the scene.

The bidder was naturally Chu Ming. He had around 2000 lower grade spirit stones, even if he exchanged all his gold, he still had 2600 lower grade spirit stones. But he carried middle grade spirit stones, each worth a hundred lower grade spirit stones.

lower grade spirit stones were trivial to him; Profound Level Intermediate Defense Armor was rare, enhancing his strength, spending more spirit stones was acceptable for Chu Ming.

"3200 lower grade spirit stones!" Li Huo’s slightly angry voice echoed, obviously triggered by Chu Ming’s actions, stirring his antagonism.
