Chapter 1001 The Real Final Auction Item
The bronze gourd of Yin and Yang was used to store the Darkest Soul-devouring Fires. Li Mu guessed that it was not arranged by Liuyun Wufeng. The gourd might belong to the Cosmic Emperor Deathless. Therefore, the Sword Savant said the gourd was stained with the aura of an emperor. It might be Cosmic Emperor Deathless’s.
Only an emperor like the Sword Savant could erase the aura.
Soon, the Sword Savant finished refining and handed the gourd back to Li Mu.
The bronze gourd of Yin and Yang became brighter like gold.
“It’s a waste to use this gourd to hold the Darkest Soul-devouring Fire. I’ll give you a wine bottle to hold it. This gourd is suitable for cultivating swords and broadswords.” The Sword Savant handed Li Mu a Lazulum bottle. It looked like a beer bottle on the earth. It was slightly smaller and refined after it was made. However, the first Sword Whiz’s things couldn’t be ordinary.
Li Mu did not stand on ceremony. He took the two Darkest Soul-devouring Fires from the gourd and transferred them into the bottle. Then, he put the Four-Blade God Killing Broadsword, the rusted sword, and all the weapons he carried into the bronze gourd of Yin and Yang.
The use of a Gourd Used for Nourishing Weapons was simple. This kind of natural treasure ran automatically, just like a mother-child bronze furnace, absorbing the Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth to nourish the swords and broadswords in it at all times.
“Can it feed living things?” Li Mu asked curiously.
The Sword Savant said, “A person once had the same thoughts as you and tried it later.”
“What happened in the end?” Li Mu asked eagerly.
The Sword Savant said, “The person succeeded and raised a great devil up. Then it ate its chief.”
Li Mu didn’t know what to say.
The Sword Savant added, “Later, that great devil became a Devil Emperor. It is one of the Devil Emperors of the devil races.”
“What the fuck!”
Li Mu was taken aback.
“Raising up a Devil Emperor?
“If the person hadn’t been killed, wouldn’t the person be able to control a Devil Emperor? This person was unlucky.”
“Well, I’ll continue reading the chess manual.” The Sword Savant turned around and returned to his suite.
Li Mu did not stand on ceremony.
With the Sword Savant by his side, who else was qualified to show off in front of him?
All the people being pretentious would be knocked down.
This time, just in case, Li Mu invited Sword Savant to help him in advance. Sure enough, he came in handy.
Who sent the gray-haired elder to assassinate him didn’t matter anymore.
Now that He had gathered Wang Shiyu’s souls and psyches, Li Mu only wanted to return to the Ziwei Star Zone as soon as possible to resurrect her. At first, he thought gathering would be a long process, but it went much smoother than he had expected. Moreover, the dark golden piece of paper left by the Cosmic Emperor Deathless recorded how to return to the Ziwei Star Zone. Everything was ready, and he only needed to set off now.
Li Mu calculated the time with his fingers. If he rushed back to resurrect Wang Shiyu and returned to the Chaotic Continent, he would have time to participate in the Sacred Deathmatch on behalf of the Sanctuary of the Way.
Now, he had to wait for the auction to end and go back to the Sanctuary of the Way with the Green Ox Taoist together.
“Huh? Old Mu’s Life Tablet has broken.” The expression of the purple-robed young man with thin lips suddenly changed. His entire body trembled.
“Big brother, how do you feel?” The younger brother casually asked.
“I’m fine.” The violet-robed youth frowned.
He was clearly aware of Old Mu’s strength. Even experts in the Way Sage Realm weren’t a match for him. He’d already stepped into the Celestial Master Realm. It was terrifying. In the underground city of the Constellation Demon Mountain, only a few heads of the Dragon King Society were able to deal with him safely on the surface. Could it be that some extraordinary experts had come secretly to the auction for dividing the spoils this time?
“How could that be?
“I just asked Old Mu to kill the Heavenly Sword, not to provoke others. Why did his Life Tablet break?
“Since his Life Tablet broke, he must be dead.
“Now it was not a good time to investigate the matter.”
“Brother Zhao, what’s the matter?” A young man holding a white paper fan asked with a smile.
He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. His lips were red, teeth were white, and cheeks were plump. He looked extremely handsome. He came to the VIP seat of the purple-robed young man after Li Mu left. He had an extraordinary status. Both the purple-robed young man and his brother respected him very much. The man with thin lips and a purple robe didn’t look as arrogant as before and kept a low profile.
“It’s not a big deal. Brother Li don’t have to worry about it,” the purple-robed young man with thin lips said. “I didn’t expect you to come here today. I, Zhao Wuji, am honored to be able to entertain the disciple of the Sword Savant.”
“Yes, my elder brother always says that among the sword practitioners in this world, only Senior Sword Savant is invincible.” Zhao Wuyu, the good-for-nothing younger brother, hurriedly flattered him.
The disciple surnamed Li of the Sword Savant shook his folding fan gently, and he had a kind of unrestrained style of Sword Whizzes. When he heard this, he said lightly, “Please don’t flatter me. My master always says, there are many capable people in the vast world. After we overcome a mountain, there will be a higher one.”
In fact, he was not familiar with the brothers surnamed Zhao. However, the brothers were the future leaders of the Sword Fire Sect which had a long history in the Sword Way. He thought that the sect had been destroyed, but it reappeared in Jianghu again. In the past, the Sword Fire Sect did have some means. Li Xuanjun had been a disciple of the Brotherhood of Swords since he was a child. He was extremely talented and had good character. He had been selected as one of the direct disciples of the Sword Savant, and he was very curious about the swordsmanship in the world, especially that of the Sword Fire Sect. In addition, the brothers surnamed Zhao, especially Zhao Wuji deliberately made friends with him. Therefore, the two seemed to be familiar with him.
This time, it was also a coincidence that Li Xuanjun had come to observe the auction of distributing the spoils, but he hadn’t managed to buy a VIP ticket. He happened to run into Zhao Wuji and was specially invited in.
“Young Master, the item we need has appeared.” A guard wearing a deep bamboo hat carefully reminded Zhao Wuji.
At this time, a long sword was being auctioned. Its name was Red Refining, which was the personal sword of the Red Refining Sword Master, the head of the Sword Fire Sect. Zhao Wuji came to the auction in person just for this sword.
After a round of competition, Zhao Wuji finally bought the divine sword at the price of 50,000 Immortal Crystals.
With the Red Refining Sword in hand, Zhao Wuji looked relaxed.
Old Mu’s death didn’t matter. Anyway, he had gotten the Red Refining Sword, and his master wouldn’t blame him after he completed the task this time. More importantly, he had gotten in touch with the direct disciple of the Sword Master. It meant that the sect’s plan would be much smoother in the future.
At this moment, the auction was finally coming to an end.
The valiant female auctioneer in a white swordsman’s uniform said loudly, “Everyone, the next item is the most precious treasure in this auction. I believe that many people are here for it. Please have a look.”
A burly and tall figure slowly walked over from the distant passage and arrived at the center of the platform.
The person was an elder with messy hair. It was strange that half of his hair was black and the other half was white. The black and white were distinct. Not only his hair but also his eyebrows and beard looked as strange as his hair.
At the sight of this person, all the people present exclaimed.
Many people recognized him.
“Be quiet,” the elder said.
The hall instantly quieted down as if someone had pressed a mute button.
This elder was Dugu Can, whose nickname was Lunar Eclipse, the second leader of the Dragon King Society, which controlled the underground city of the Constellation Demon Mountain. He was a horrible existence who could kill people wherever he wanted. It was said that he had already been at the peak of the Celestial Master and was one step away from the Emperor-to-be Realm.
In daily life, Crazy Dragon Roaring was lurking in the underground abyss and rarely showed up. Dugu Can was in charge of the operation of the entire Dragon King Society. In most people’s eyes, the reputation of Lunar Eclipse was even more fierce than that of Crazy Dragon’s Roar.
“The last item for auction is naturally not me.”
Dugu Can used an emotionless voice to make cold humor.
Of course, no one at the scene laughed.
“This auction item is unusual. Only a few people are qualified to know it in advance. But if anyone interested in it here has enough financial resources, you are qualified to participate in the auction.” Dugu Can’s voice was like a mechanical synthesis, without any human feelings.
As he spoke, he opened his palm.
Ten golden light spots appeared in his hand. They looked like stars in the sky or gold in water, looking quite dreamy. At first glance, people were attracted by them. What really shocked everyone present was not this kind of dreamy brilliance, but the wisps of clear aura of the Way of Emperor emitted by these ten light spots.
“They are ten Realm-breaking Diagrams that can lead you to the place where the legacy of the Cosmic Emperor Deathless is hidden. There were originally 12 of them in total. We’ve visited the God Emperor of the Tiger Race and the ancestor of the Corpse Race to appraise them. Therefore, two of them were used as a reward to them. I guarantee that these ten of them are genuine. Everyone, the starting price is 100,000 fairy crystals. You can start the auction.”
Dugu Can said lightly.
“What?”
“Is that true? It’s said that the Cosmic Emperor Deathless left the Realm-breaking Diagrams, which could lead to the Athanasia Immortal Palace. I thought it was just a rumor.”
“Oh my god! I didn’t expect such shocking news to appear at this auction.”
“It’s not a big deal. The Holy Lands of the major races should have known about it and made preparations in advance.”
“Why didn’t they release the news in advance?”
“Well. We can only have a look. Even if we have 100,000 fairy crystals, we don’t dare to bid for any of them. If we buy one, we won’t even know how to be killed. As the saying goes, an innocent man will be guilty because of his wealth.”
The uproar in the venue was like a tsunami.
This time, even Dugu Can, Lunar Eclipse, couldn’t let them be quiet for a while. The news was too shocking and terrifying.
“What?”
Zhao Wuji’s expression changed drastically. A burning desire showed up in his eyes.
“How could there be such divine objects as the grand finale?”
Any one of the Realm-breaking Diagrams was much more precious than any one of the auction items before.
Even the Red Refining Sword couldn’t compare with it.
“Master, have you been waiting for them?” Senior Sister Shu Ying looked at her master. She couldn’t figure out why her master wanted to participate in this auction and hadn’t bid yet. Could it be that her master had already known the Cosmic Emperor Deathless’s Realm-breaking Diagrams would appear?
The middle-aged woman said, “I just want to try my luck. I may not be able to get any of them.”
Lei Cang played with the bottle of Purple Pole Thunder Liquid in his hand with a slightly stunned look. At this time, a hunchbacked elder slowly walked over and sat in the VIP seat. He lifted his hoodie, revealing a face that Lei Cang was very familiar with.
“Master? Why are you here?” He was shocked. Then he suddenly realized something. “You already know…”
“You bid,” the hunchbacked elder said. “We must buy a Realm-breaking Diagram at all costs.”
Bi Yan, who had been silent the whole time as if she was invisible, smiled and said, “They finally show up.”
On the other side, a big white Samoyed-like dog stood up like a human being. “Are they what you want to bid for? The Cosmic Emperor Deathless, who has already passed away, is very popular recently. There’s news about him everywhere. Did someone deliberately hype him up? I heard that his legacy is casting. If one masters it, the person can even forge Transformers. If we get the legacy, we can forge a lot of interesting toys, right?”
A young man next to the dog said, “I’m afraid we don’t have enough fairy crystals with us. Most of the fairy crystals in the Beast Palace have been used by me for electricity. I’ve been short of money recently.”
In the seat where Li Mu was originally sitting, the look of the Green Ox Taoist also became dignified.
The item he had been waiting for finally showed up.
The real big shots from the various Holy Lands and the Military of Man and many giants who rarely showed up looked serious.
