Chapter 379: Auction Success
! [Second update, seeking full subscription]
Soon, the auction began! At first, the auction items were all ordinary treasures, though 'ordinary' was only from Ye Tian's perspective. For other Emperor-level cultivators, those treasures were quite rare and difficult to purchase outside, as few people sold them.
They could only occasionally be encountered at auctions, so quite a few Emperor-level cultivators were bidding.
Ye Tian and the other Prodigies naturally looked down on these items, and none of them competed.
Before long, the auction finally reached the Mira Sutra.
The Auctioneer began introducing the Mira Sutra, saying, 'The next auction item is a single page from the Nine-Star 9 Wonder, the Mira Sutra.
Everyone has likely heard of the Mira Sutra. This wonder originally appeared not in the Galaxy but in the Fairy Star System. Back then, many Divine Rank and True God cultivators fought over this Nine-Star 9 Wonder, and part of the Mira Sutra flowed into our Galaxy. This page is from that time.
This page records a secret technique: the Xu Mi Eye.
The Xu Mi Eye can see through illusions and penetrate space, making it an extremely powerful illusion technique.
Of course, the cultivation requirements for the Xu Mi Eye are also very high. Not only does one need Space Talent to Cultivate it, but one must also master the Void Nering Realm technique. However, the Void Nering Realm technique has long been lost and never reappeared. Perhaps during that battle long ago, the page of the Mira Sutra containing the Void Nering Realm technique was destroyed.
Because of this, the Xu Mi Eye from this page of the Mira Sutra is almost impossible to master!'
'An unmasterable secret technique can still be auctioned?'
Someone complained.
The Auctioneer smiled and said, 'Under normal circumstances, the Void Nering Realm technique cannot be cultivated, but a great expert from our Galaxy Chamber of Commerce created a minor technique called the Minor Nering Realm technique, which can assist in cultivating the Xu Mi Eye, achieving about one-third of the original effect.
This auction of this page of the Mira Sutra includes the Minor Nering Realm technique as a gift!'
'Gifting the Minor Nering Realm technique makes it worth bidding for!'
Many Prodigies were tempted, as a secret technique like the Xu Mi Eye has great practical use! In the seats.
Ye Tian frowned slightly. At first, when he heard the Auctioneer say the Xu Mi Eye couldn't be cultivated, he got excited.
Because he possessed the Void Nering Realm technique and could fully master the Xu Mi Eye.
He guessed that the Void Nering Realm technique must be a very important foundational secret technique in the Mira Sutra, with many secret methods requiring it as an aid.
He thought that since others didn't have the Void Nering Realm technique, they wouldn't bid for the Xu Mi Eye.
But he didn't expect the Galaxy Chamber of Commerce to have a substitute technique. Even though the complete version of the Xu Mi Eye couldn't be cultivated, the incomplete version was enough to attract the Prodigies.
So, his competition pressure wasn't small either.
'Mira Sutra Xu Mi Eye, starting bid: 3 billion Star Points!'
The Auctioneer shouted.
3 billion Star Points was undoubtedly a huge number for Eight or Nine-Star Emperor-level cultivators. Many Eight or Nine-Star Emperor-level cultivators couldn't gather 3 billion Star Points, but for the Prodigies, it was nothing.
'3.1 billion Star Points!'
'3.2 billion Star Points!'
'3.3 billion Star Points!'
…One Prodigy after another competed, as if the money were just numbers in their eyes.
'3.5 billion Star Points!'
Ye Tian made a bid.
At this, many Prodigies gave up.
3.5 billion Star Points—they could afford it, but the key was they all wanted to bid for the Five-Star Universe Spaceship.
Once they acquired the Five-Star Universe Spaceship, they could travel across many Star Systems.
However, a few Prodigies still competed with Ye Tian, one of whom was Prodigy Qing Zhan, who had a grudge against Ye Tian.
Prodigy Qing Zhan had almost been killed by Ye Tian with a single move before, which was a great humiliation for him! Since he couldn't defeat Ye Tian in combat, he could only compete with him in the auction.
'3.6 billion!'
Prodigy Qing Zhan said.
Ye Tian smiled slightly and calmly quoted a price: '4 billion.' Just as Prodigy Qing Zhan was about to continue bidding, an Emperor-level cultivator beside him quickly reminded, 'Prodigy Qing Zhan, 4 billion is too much. It far exceeds the value of the Xu Mi Eye by many times. If you spend too much money here, what if you can't compete for the Five-Star Universe Spaceship later?'
Hearing this, Prodigy Qing Zhan immediately gave up bidding.
With Prodigy Qing Zhan out, the other Prodigies naturally gave up too, and Ye Tian successfully won the Xu Mi Eye at auction.
Although he spent a lot of money and it was somewhat a loss, he wasn't short on funds and didn't care about a mere 4 billion Star Points. As long as he could obtain the Xu Mi Eye, it was worth it! After the Mira Sutra Xu Mi Eye was auctioned, other auction items were presented one by one, their value no less than the Xu Mi Eye from the Mira Sutra. But… those treasures were useless to Ye Tian, so he didn't bid.
Half an hour later, it was finally time for the Five-Star Universe Spaceship to be auctioned.
Since the Five-Star Universe Spaceship was very heavy—though only 100 meters long—it wasn't easy to carry, so it was placed inside a spatial ring.
This spatial ring was brought onto the auction stage and the auction began.
'Five-Star Universe Spaceship, a personal model Five-Star Universe Spaceship, equipped with space jump, 100 times light speed, and ordinary True God-level defense. Capable of traveling across various Star Systems. Starting bid: 100 billion!'
The Auctioneer said.
A starting bid of 100 billion meant many Emperor-level cultivators and even some Prodigies couldn't reach it, having no qualification to participate.
Those who could participate were either Peerless Geniuses or Disciples of top major forces with substantial backing and no lack of funds.
Soon, an extremely intense round of bidding began! '110 billion Star Points!'
'120 billion Star Points!'
'130 billion Star Points!'
…Before long, many Prodigies couldn't compete anymore, as the value of the Five-Star Universe Spaceship exceeded their expectations.
'600 billion Star Points!'
Prodigy Qing Zhan quoted an astonishing price.
'610 billion Star Points!'
Prodigy Lei Ling shouted.
'620 billion Star Points!'
Ye Tian also started bidding.
Several Peerless Geniuses competed, and the bid price kept soaring, soon rising to 630 billion Star Points.
At this point, Prodigy Lei Ling gave up, as he simply didn't have enough prepared funds.
Now, only three Prodigies were still competing.
Ye Tian, Prodigy Qing Zhan, and another Peerless Genius—Prodigy Long Yan! Prodigy Long Yan was one of the three Peerless Geniuses who had chased Prodigy Scorpio back then, and his wealth was also considerable.
'650 billion Star Points!'
Ye Tian quoted another astonishing price.
At this, Prodigy Qing Zhan said, 'Ten Thousand Laws Genius, you have no major backing. I don't believe you have so many Star Points. If your deposit is insufficient, you can't bid recklessly; that's the auction rule.'
'How do you know I'm not qualified to bid?'
Ye Tian sneered.
'Let the three of us have the Galaxy Chamber of Commerce auction staff check and assess our qualifications. Otherwise, reckless bidding would break the rules!'
Prodigy Qing Zhan said.
'Fine!'
Ye Tian agreed.
Soon, the three of them went to the auction stage and had a Galaxy Chamber of Commerce Staff Member check their deposits.
A moment later.
Ye Tian's funds were checked: over 500 billion. Since he had previously won the Xu Mi Eye, his available balance was over 450 billion.
Prodigy Long Yan and Prodigy Qing Zhan had available funds around 700 billion, much more than Ye Tian's.
'Ten Thousand Laws Genius, with only this little funding, you dare bid 650 billion? You're breaking the rules!'
Prodigy Qing Zhan said.
Below the stage, many Emperor-level cultivators' expressions changed.
Bidding high without funds was rule-breaking. If truly done, one's reputation would be ruined.
Ye Tian said very calmly, 'Prodigy Qing Zhan, you probably forgot one thing. If I have a treasure consigned for auction, its value counts toward my funds. And I happen to have a treasure consigned; the Galaxy Chamber of Commerce staff can confirm!'
The Galaxy Chamber of Commerce Staff Member went to verify and soon returned, saying, 'Ten Thousand Laws Genius does indeed have a treasure consigned, with a starting bid of 300 billion, so he has sufficient funds to bid for the Five-Star Universe Spaceship!'
'What? A treasure with a starting bid of 300 billion!!!'
Prodigy Qing Zhan and the others were stunned.
A treasure worth 300 billion—they could produce one too, but they would never auction it.
And if they tried to prepare funds now, it would definitely be too late. Since the auction had started, consigning treasures temporarily wasn't allowed; it didn't conform to the rules.
According to the auction rules, since Prodigy Qing Zhan requested checking the fund balance, he couldn't raise his bid again. Ye Tian's quoted price of 650 billion Star Points was valid, so Prodigy Qing Zhan effectively withdrew from the bidding.
As for Prodigy Long Yan, knowing he couldn't outbid Ye Tian and not wanting to offend Ye Tian intentionally, he also gave up.
In the end, Ye Tian won the Five-Star Universe Spaceship at a price of 650 billion Star Points.
At this moment, many Prodigies were very curious about what treasure Ye Tian had consigned that had a starting bid as high as 300 billion.
