5046 Eternal Wushuang
Even though the Eternal Wushuang Auction House only had three Yan Immortals on the surface, any Heavenly Region lord with a clear mind would not think so.
This was because all the lords of the Heavenly Regions who were not clear-headed, those who wanted to pillage the Eternal Wushuang had long disappeared without a trace in the past 20,000 years.
No one knew that after 20,000 years of development, the hidden strength of the Eternal Wushuang Auction House was deeply intertwined.
Because from the fact that one evening, the number of Heavenly Regions was destroyed, and the methods they were destroyed were incredible. From this, the Eternal Wushuang was already a giant that was above ordinary Heavenly Regions.In 20,000 years, no Yan Immortal or even lord of Heavenly Regions dared to challenge them anymore.
After all, it was an irrefutable principle for an auction house like this to bid for a treasure.
As time passed, the Peerless Auction House changed from accepting Sky Crystals to only accepting Black Mountain Crystals.
Moreover, the coveted Emperor-grade pill could be bought with Black Mountain Crystals. However, even the price of the starting bid reached an unimaginable level.
Even if the lord of a Heavenly Region controlled three to five Heavenly Region planes, he might not be able to get a single Emperor-grade pill with all the resources in his Heavenly Regions.
Therefore, in the past 20,000 years, there were only a few Emperor-grade pills that were auctioned off.
This was also the reason why the lords of the Heavenly Region were willing to risk their lives to attack the auction house. It was because they really could not afford their treasures…Fortunately, in the Eternal Wushuang, other than using Black Mountain Crystals to trade, they also supported bartering.
And this was also the reason why many Yan Immortals could not take out a huge amount of Black Mountain Crystals, but they still tried their best to enter the auction house. Because they had treasures, they could exchange for treasures of the same value.
This was a grand banquet and a supreme opportunity.
Another 500 years had passed, and the Eternal Wushuang Auction House had opened.
It opened the doors of the hall and the Yan Immortals who were invited came one after another. Among them, there was no lack of lords of the Heavenly Region who came personally just to see the peerless-grade pill that only the Eternal Wushuang could possess.
The door opened and the Yan Immortals arrived.
The auction house was built with the entire Heavenly Region as its foundation. After several changes, it had reached its peak and could accommodate hundreds of thousands of peak cultivators and Yan Immortals.
The Heavenly Palace, which was almost made of all kinds of precious jade and warm jade, was extremely grand. It had changed from the original three levels to five levels in a strict order.
The ordinary sect’s Yan Immortals and top cultivators sat on the first level. Some hidden great sects or great clans that controlled many Heavenly Regions were placed on the second level.
As for the second level and above, it was the lords of the various Super Heavenly Regions, the lords of the Heavenly Sects, and the lords of the Heavenly Regions who had made several or even dozens of transactions.
Only the highest level was sealed.
No Yan Immortal knew who that position belonged to, and very few Yan Immortals cared about it. They came here to obtain the treasures.
Under the guidance of the maids, thousands of Yan Immortals entered the auction house, waiting for it to open.
As the atmosphere in the hall gradually warmed up, a spring breeze caressed the jade, and a beautiful fairy with an extraordinary figure appeared slowly, finally standing in the center of the hall.
This candidate fairy that Chen Qing had kidnapped from the Heavenly Court was called Qing Ling. She had been auctioning in the Eternal Wushuang Auction House for nearly 20,000 years and had become an indispensable sight.
With her appearance, the auction officially began.
“Ladies and gentlemen, another 500 years have passed. This time in Eternal Wushuang, there are a total of 40 items in this auction. Among them, there must be…”
As the crisp voice resounded in the Heavenly Palace, all the seated Yan Immortals focused their attention and listened quietly.
In the space around the third floor, there were faint undercurrents.
“Any confirmation?”
A rather refined and easy-going voice sounded in the dark space.
Immediately after, a figure that was extremely hidden, like a black shadow that could not be dispersed, bowed and said in a low voice, “There is confirmed news, Young Master. There are indeed two pills that contain that kind of special fate energy in the finale of this auction. It has been confirmed.”
“But…”
“But what?”
“However, these two pills have already been reserved by Guhai City…”
“A reservation? Do they have the strength to do that?” The elegant and easy-going voice had a hint of coldness and disdain. “You should know that the price of that piece is an entire mountain of Black Mountain Crystals. No matter how deep their foundation is, do they have that many resources?”
The black shadow whispered, “Young Master, have you forgotten? 10,000 years ago, when the 10 lords of the Heavenly Regions wanted to destroy the Eternal Wushuang Auction House, the old guys of Guhai City secretly helped and protected this place.”
The elegant and easy-going voice sounded again, “Oh, I forgot about this. However, just by relying on the help from 10,000 years ago, I’m afraid it’s not enough to snatch two pills.”
The black shadow said in a low voice, “I’m afraid that it’s already set in stone, Young Master. When I looked at the Young Master of Guhai City earlier, he already had victory in his hands. I’m afraid that this time…”
“Alright, stop talking.”
The voice changed from lazy to cold and decisive.
Then, he slowly got up. His luxurious clothes were interwoven with gold, blue, and silver, giving off an indescribable deep and magnificent feeling.
Surging derivative energy surged around his body.
Under the warm moonlight, he looked extraordinary and handsome.
“Before the final result is decided, everything is just nonsense. I really want to see just how amazing Guhai City is to reserve two pills.”
…
Meanwhile, in another chamber on the same level, a figure exuding the same majestic aura sat upright on a jade throne, propping up their head with their hand, bored out of their mind as they watched one auction item after another.
It was widely known that auctions at the Eternal Wushaung Auction House were rather tedious affairs. This was because the failure rate for each priceless treasure was exceedingly high.
In fact, after a single auction, it wasn’t even guaranteed that ten priceless treasures would be sold.
And even when priceless treasures were sold, there was a high likelihood that they would be exchanged for other goods.
This was because the price of True Treasures here had reached an unimaginable level, and they could only be traded with Black Mountain Crystals.
One had to know that the Black Mountain Crystal, which contained abundant Yan power and even weak fate energy, was too extravagant to be used as a currency.
However, the Eternal Wushaung Auction House only accepted Black Mountain Crystals as their designated currency, leading to an exceptionally high failure rate for True Treasures and making barter-style transactions even more prevalent.
This situation remained unchanged from countless millennia ago until now.
So, for a multitude of reasons, it was the most tedious of auctions in the Eternal Wushuang Auction House.
