Abyss Walker

Chapter 221 Auction (Part )

The value of Dragon Crystal is self-evident. It can not only greatly enhance personal strength, but also serve as the core of a powerful magical artifact, making it incredibly attractive.

This crystal contains the power of the ancient dragon race and is a rare treasure in the world, exuding an awe-inspiring aura in every inch.

In the eyes of cultivators, dragon crystals are supreme treasures for enhancing cultivation and breaking through bottlenecks. The pure and powerful energy contained within them can help cultivators cleanse their meridians, condense their inner strength, and even provide additional power support at crucial moments.

For martial artists and mages who aspire to become stronger, dragon crystals are the aid they dream of.

As the core of magical artifacts, the role of dragon crystal is not to be underestimated. It can perfectly fuse with various magical artifacts, giving them greater power and more diverse functions.

Whether it's offensive weapons or defensive armor, as long as they are inlaid with dragon crystals, their power and effectiveness will undergo a qualitative leap.

The existence of dragon crystals has greatly increased the value of magical artifacts, making them the object of contention for many powerful individuals and forces.

However, even with the blessing of dragon crystals, magic weapons still cannot compare to divine artifacts, because divine artifacts are weapons that gather the essence of heaven and earth, absorb the spirituality of heaven and earth, and obey the Great Dao.

For example, even the strongest semi-divine artifact cannot compare to the weakest void artifact. To give another example, even the strongest chaotic plane artifact cannot compare to the weakest supreme treasure of the heavens.

“We must proceed with caution. If news of the Dragon Crystal leaks, we will become the target of everyone’s attacks,” Yun Muhan said as he walked, his eyes constantly scanning the surroundings warily.

Dugu Jianling nodded, his expression equally serious: "Yes, we need to find a safe place to store the dragon crystals until the auction begins."

They decided that upon returning to Apocalypse City, they would immediately find a reliable safe or secret warehouse to properly store the Dragon Crystal.

At the same time, they also plan to find some powerful allies at the auction so that they can get support if necessary.

Upon returning to Tianqi City, Yun Muhan and Dugu Jianling did not choose to store the Dragon Crystal in the Golden Shield Vault, but instead decided to send it directly to the auction house.

They believed this was safer because Tianbaoge, as the most famous auction house in Zhongzhou, had an extremely high reputation and strict security measures, which could ensure the safety of the dragon crystal before the auction.

“This way we can avoid the risk of carrying dragon crystals in the city,” Dugu Jianling said, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes.

Yun Muhan nodded, already considering their strategy for the auction: "We need to prepare some gold coins to buy items that might be useful to us. At the same time, we also need to be wary of anyone who might pose a threat to us."

The two spent the next day running around, not only raising funds but also gathering intelligence, making thorough preparations for the upcoming auction. This would be a war without bloodshed, where every detail could determine the final outcome.

The two of them traversed the streets and alleys of Tianqi City, talking to merchants and dealing with information brokers to ensure they had sufficient knowledge of the items to be auctioned and the potential competitors.

Finally, the day of the auction arrived.

Yun Muhan and Dugu Jianling, dressed in unassuming robes and cloaks that concealed their faces, arrived at Tianbao Pavilion. Their attire was intended to avoid drawing too much attention and maintain a low profile, while preparing to make a splash at the auction.

The interior of Tianbao Pavilion is luxuriously decorated and resplendent with gold. Nobles and powerful figures from all over the world gather together, creating a lively yet tense atmosphere.

The enormous crystal chandelier cast a dazzling light, the smooth marble floor reflected the light, and a faint fragrance filled the air—all of which demonstrated the luxury and prestige of Tianbao Pavilion.

Yun Muhan and Dugu Jianling found an inconspicuous corner to sit down, their eyes scanning the venue, observing every potential competitor.

Their eyes gleamed with determination and anticipation, ready to make their mark at this auction. They knew it was not just a contest of wealth, but also a battle of wits and strategy.

The two noticed some nobles dressed in gorgeous clothes, as well as some cold-looking martial artists, and even some mysterious figures whose identities were hard to fathom, but who were clearly there for the valuable items to be auctioned.

Yun Muhan and Dugu Jianling discussed in hushed tones, devising an auction strategy. Their goal was to acquire the most valuable items at the lowest possible price.

As the auction began, one precious item after another was displayed, and each bid was filled with tension and excitement.

Yun Muhan and Dugu Jianling sat in an inconspicuous corner, their sharp eyes observing every potential competitor. They knew that the Dragon Crystal was extremely valuable, enough to attract the attention of anyone present.

Among the many precious items at the auction, the Dragon Crystal was undoubtedly the most eye-catching. Yun Muhan and Dugu Jianling decided to send the Dragon Crystal to the auction house for auction, believing that with its value, they could obtain a large amount of gold coins and amethyst.

Based on the exchange rate they were familiar with, 10,000 gold coins were equal to one amethyst, which would provide them with ample funds for subsequent bidding at the auction.

They handed the Dragon Crystal to the person in charge of Tianbao Pavilion and explained in detail its value and the potential bidding frenzy it would generate.

The person in charge of Tianbao Pavilion conducted a professional evaluation of the Dragon Crystal and promised to give it a fair starting price. Their eyes revealed appreciation for the Dragon Crystal and anticipation for the upcoming auction.

As the auction progressed, one precious item after another was displayed, each bid filled with tension and excitement. The bidders' eyes were fixed on the auction stage, and each item unveiled sparked a murmur of discussion and a flurry of bidding.

Yun Muhan and Dugu Jianling waited patiently until the Dragon Crystal was revealed.

When the dragon crystal appeared before everyone, the atmosphere at the auction reached its climax. Its beauty and power moved everyone present, and bidding erupted one after another, with the price rapidly climbing.

Thirty thousand!

"forty thousand!"

"Fellow Daoists, please give me some face! Seventy thousand!"

A voice rang out from inside the private room: "One hundred thousand!"

Yun Muhan and Dugu Jianling calmly observed the bidding process. They knew that their goal was not only to sell the dragon crystals, but more importantly, to use the gold coins and amethysts they obtained to bid for other items that would be useful to them.

As the bidding for the dragon crystals intensified, Yun Muhan and Dugu Jianling noticed that not only ordinary nobles and merchants, but also some powerful cultivators were beginning to participate in the auction.

"130,000!"

"150,000! Brother Yan, don't blame me."
