Chapter 49: The Final Showstopper Item

  Arrived on the fifth day, welcoming the God of Wealth. Wishing everyone a prosperous Year of the Mouse, abundant wealth and treasure! Clouds are gathering to welcome the God of Wealth, seeking recommendation votes! Monday has arrived, rushing to the top, seeking votes! A new week has begun, relying on everyone's support, there will be a second update at 12pm and a third update at 6pm.

  The auction resumed, with the first two items being a low-level defensive magic artifact and a Bi Xue Ling Hai Dan pill that had an extraordinary effect on building foundations.

  The first item was sold for 30 million, while the second item was bought at a sky-high price of 50 million euros by Chu Yu.

  Next up were the eight top-grade blank jade tokens made of Huang Jing Yu, but the competition for the jade tokens was not as fierce as expected. The starting price of 100 euros shocked many people, and after bidding up to two million euros, there were few bidders left, except for the six VIP suites where the bidding continued non-stop.

  "Five million euros at a time..." The auctioneer shouted loudly. The bid was from the person in the first VIP box, Chu Yu smiled lightly and pointed to the first VIP box: "Hero, is that the Long Sun family's box?"

  Hu Tianxiong nodded and said, "That's right, it's theirs." As he spoke, Hu Tianxiong pointed to the wooden carving on the VIP room: "The dragon lying down is the emblem of their Longsun family, can't be more recognizable."

  "Five hundred million euros twice..."

  At this time, Chu Yu made a gesture to Duan Zhongyuan, hinting that he should start bidding up the price.

  With one gritted teeth, Duan Zhongyuan raised his paddle to increase the price.

  Each time the price was increased by one million euros, it didn't take much effort to become a unilateral rivalry between Duan Zhongyuan and the Changsun family, and the price was shouted all the way up to 50 million.

  After Yuan shouted out the price of 50 million euros, his hands couldn't help but tremble slightly, while the auctioneer on the other side had already shouted "50 million euros twice".

  "Five hundred and fifty million..." The Longsun family added 50 million yuan at once, which finally made Duan Zhongyuan's hanging heart relax, and he had already broken out in a cold sweat.

  "As expected, humph, wanting to take advantage of me, Chu Yu, at least you need to show some sincerity, a price of 55 million euros, giving it to you is also nothing. Chu Yu's eyes swept over with disdain towards Long Sun Huo who was still seated at the auction stage."

  The next seven top-quality jade pendants were all sold at a price of 51 million euros. Of course, if there wasn't someone like Duan Zhongyuan who kept bidding up to 50 million and then gave up, the Longsun family would probably have been able to buy all eight jade pendants for just one bid of 50 million.

  On the auction stage, Changsun stood tall with a puzzled expression, revealing a hint of confusion and depression. "Among the people present, except for myself and the eight bidders for the jade pieces, who else could know the value of these exquisite blank jade symbols? That guy who kept raising the price with my family is obviously very weak in his cultivation, it's impossible for him to sense the value of these eight jade symbols... even I only felt the vast spiritual energy contained within after touching the jade symbol... strange, really strange. This time, four billion euros were spent all at once, although it's worth it, but my heart still feels somewhat stifled... could there be a hidden expert somewhere?"

  The temporary auction ended in the midst of everyone's astonishment at the Long Sun family's bold move to acquire eight top-quality jade symbols. Next was the climax of the entire auction, two finale items that were also shrouded in mystery, said to be treasures that could rival those found in the secluded realm of immortal cultivation.

  "The item to be auctioned next is a mid-grade second-level attack-type magic treasure called 'Kan Liduo Baozhu'. This magic treasure has been personally appraised by Mr. Changsun Huo and is absolutely genuine. At the same time, the detailed functions and effects of this magic treasure will be displayed one by one on the large screen behind me."

  The auctioneer announced the first mysterious finale with a flourish, causing a stir in the audience. After all, for the participants who were on the fringes of the cultivation world, even a low-grade magic treasure was enough to drive them crazy, let alone a mid-grade second-level magic treasure that was also an attack-type magic treasure.

  It was clear that the auctioneer was not satisfied with the rendering, and continued: "The origin of this treasure is not convenient to say, but one thing can be told to you all, the refiner of this treasure is none other than Chu Yu, the first refining treasure master of the Zhongtu Xiu Zhen world..."

  For a moment, except for Chu Yu, Hua Tianxiong and Tang Keying who were stunned and speechless at the opening, everyone else was excited beyond words. Not to mention that this is already a mid-grade second-tier awesome treasure in itself, just because it was personally refined by Chu Yu, the great master of alchemy, it's already an invaluable treasure.

  "How could I not remember that I had refined a treasure with this name...?" Chu Yu was probably the most puzzled person at the moment. He had refined many treasures, but it was impossible for him to forget any of them with his memory. Yet, this "Kan Li Duo Bao Zhu" left no impression on him whatsoever.

  There are only two possibilities: either the auctioneer is talking nonsense, or I've forgotten. It's very clear that the probability of the first guess has reached 99%.

  At this moment, the auction item has been brought to the front desk. It is a black and white pearl with a diameter of about 10 cm. A circle of faintly visible spiral ripples spreads and rotates on the pearl, never ending. If you look closely enough, you can see that these ripples are vaguely forming the shape of a yin-yang fish, as if it were alive.

  Witnessing this treasure, Chu Yu's face sank, and he saw Hua Tianxiong casting inquiring glances at him. He slightly shook his head and said: "No need to look at me, it can be determined that this thing was not refined by me."

  Tang Ke Ying also heard it on the side, her cute little nose wrinkled and said: "I know, it must be the owner of this treasure who wants to raise the price of this treasure, so he deliberately arranged a lie that can't be verified."

  "What is 'dying without a witness'?" Hua Tianxiong asked, momentarily taken aback.

  "After Master's failure to cross the tribulation and rebirth in the city, this matter is basically unknown to only a few people. I think that in the eyes of most cultivators, Master has completely disappeared from this world. Since it is so, those who do not know that Master is sitting here at this moment will naturally think that adding such a background to their own auction items won't be afraid of being discovered by others! Moreover, among the people present, I estimate that eight or nine out of ten have never seen an initial-stage treasure in their lifetime. Suddenly, a mid-grade second-level treasure appears, and even if it's said that this Kan Liduo Treasure Pearl was refined by the Supreme Old Lord, there will still be many who believe it."

  Tang Keying's analytical skills were indeed astonishing, and with just a few sentences, the analysis was already very clear. Hua Tianxiong nodded his head and asked Chu Yu for instructions: "Boss, are we going to let them get away with impersonating you like this?"

  "Let him go for now. What I'm interested in is who the original owner of this treasure was. Impersonating my reputation will come at a cost."

  "Don't worry, boss, I'll definitely get to the bottom of this afterwards." Hu Tianxiong patted his chest and guaranteed.

  The bidding for the "Kan Liduo Baozhu" was extremely fierce, with prices skyrocketing to 350 million euros before gradually subsiding, leaving only a few bidders from the six VIP suites.

  The law firm was finally sold for a staggering 780 million euros.

  "It's just a mid-grade second-tier artifact, yet they're fighting over it like mad...” Chu Yu sighed softly and whispered to Tang Ke Yin beside him: “Want to know how much the material cost of refining an artifact of this grade would be in gold?”

  The girl curiously leaned in and said, "Master, speak quickly."

  "Four billion euros at most."

  "Ah! The cost is so low!"

  Chu Yu nodded with a smile and said: "That's why our Baodan Pavilion descendants have never been short of money to use!"

  The next item was placed on the auction table in a rectangular brocade box, and the host's voice rang out: "Now we will proceed to the last item of this 'Treasures Gathering' auction, it is - an unknown rank Daodan from the Sealed Period, once one of the top ten flying swords, Chengying Sword."

  "What?" Chu Yu rarely revealed a hint of emotion, "A product from 3,000 years ago during the Da Dao's sealing period..."

  "Cheng Ying......" Unlike Chu Yu's calm demeanor, Tang Keying's face suddenly turned pale, her eyes reddened, and her black shiny eyes stared tightly at the brocade box on the auction table. Her small white fists were clenched so tightly that even her fingernails dug into her palm without feeling any pain.

  "The Ten Great Flying Swords, this name has been blown out of proportion, I've never heard of such a thing." Hu Tianxiong muttered to himself, deeply annoyed by the host's exaggeration.
