Chapter 396: Chapter 291: Qingchan’s Recent Situation, Auction Begins (4K)

A young Blue Phoenix bird, legendary template, initial level 48, wind-type Immortal Beast.

A Kunpeng, legendary template, initial level 60, becomes Kun in water, Peng out of water.

Three Immortal Beasts housed within the Sea Suppressing Realm, the Sea Overturning Dragon Turtle thrown into the sea, its limbs expanded into a small island, motionless.

The Kunpeng dives into the sea and disappears.

The Blue Phoenix, due to its beautiful appearance, is liked by Miss Qingchan and settles in the center of the Sea Suppressing Realm. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

In the Sea Suppressing Realm, Spiritual Qi is abundant, with a time flow of one to one hundred; a real ten years is equivalent to a thousand years inside, even slow-growing ones will surely rise above level 200 in ten years.

The resources on the Mainland of Divine Land far exceed those of Blue Mountain Island and even the Fallen Star Islands. After browsing for a while, Su Yu discovered a large association specifically selling various Spirit Plants.

Besides common medicinal Spirit Plants, there are also many extremely beautiful ornamental Spirit Plants, various Spirit Fruits, and even Spirit Roots available for sale.

Like the Purple Mansion Immortal Spirit Fruit strengthened by Su Yu using the Power of Heavenly Dao Origin, there are not just one plant available here.

"Buy!"

Regardless of the type of Spirit Plant, as long as it’s not available in the Sea Suppressing Realm, buy a batch and plant them, anyway, there’s money to spend.

He spent nearly 600,000 gold in total, buying over a thousand kinds of Spirit Plants to move into the Sea Suppressing Realm, then started planning the area, opening up new fields, busy and happy.

Unnoticed, half a month passed and the auction at Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion began.

Su Yu and Qingchan finally went out, heading to the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion branch.

Just as they reached the entrance, they saw Jiang Muyun and several companions chatting with some peers at the pavilion entrance, Su Yu waved from afar:

"Brother Jiang Dao."

The few people chatting with Jiang Muyun turned their heads, one of whom was a handsome young man with long hair over his shoulders, his gaze intensified as he directly turned and walked over in large strides.

"So you’re Su Yu?"

Su Yu was slightly taken aback, hearing Jiang Muyun’s voice transmission in his ear:

"He is Ding Xuan, the top True Disciples of the Star Dwelling Sect, one of Miss Qingchan’s former admirers."

Su Yu nodded slightly at Jiang Muyun, turned to the young man, level 166, First-Grade Dao Foundation, average.

"So, you want to challenge me like Brother Jiang Dao?"

Ding Xuan hesitated, pausing for a few seconds before somewhat unconfidently saying:

"You can even defeat Brother Jiang, I’m not your opponent."

"Then why did you stop me?"

"I just wanted to see what the person Miss Qingchan is interested in looks like."

"And now?"

"You’re not as handsome as me!"

"???"

"Don’t disappoint Miss Qingchan, or I won’t let you off."

Having said this seriously, Ding Xuan waved goodbye to Qingchan and turned to enter the auction hall, leaving the crowd puzzled.

"Ah... haha!"

Someone burst into laughter, and soon everyone joined in, including Su Yu, who shrugged and laughed too.

He had heard the name from Qingchan but had never met him, unexpectedly so amusing.

In fact, most of those suitors of Qingchan, those so-called rivals, had only met Qingchan once or twice.

In previous conversations with Qingchan, she mentioned that most admirers met her six years ago at an Immortal elder’s five-thousand-year birthday celebration.

Various factions gathered, with many outstanding young men present; her beauty naturally captured the hearts of young men at first sight.

Most of these young men had only seen her once, and there weren’t particularly close childhood friends among them, so her father was mostly scaring him with tales of numerous rivals. As long as he demonstrated enough ability, most wouldn’t persist.

Like Jiang Muyun, who decisively withdrew after losing.

While those like Ding Xuan, whose abilities were lacking, didn’t even dare challenge.

In two months, when he has time for challenges, probably only one or two would dare challenge him.

After chatting outside the pavilion for a while, they waited for everyone to arrive before entering separately.

Su Yu and Qingchan were designated a separate spot in the hall, without a private box.

The Mainland of Divine Land is full of hidden talents; to have a private box requires either the presence of an Immortal, or the Immortal’s direct disciples, or high-level sect members, Dao practitioners, and the like.

In theory, Su Yu’s identity as a Dao practitioner should earn him a private box, but Blue Mountain is a small place, the Xuanzhen Immortal Sect not being recognized here.

Su Yu did not dwell on this, as he and Qingchan each received a mask to attend.

The mask is a special production of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, capable of concealing one’s aura and appearance, preventing conflicts during bidding and subsequent retaliation; after the auction ends, the mask can be kept and need not be returned.

Of course, this can be used or not, as incidents of robbery after auctions are rare at Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion; most guests do not use them.

Su Yu also didn’t use one, quietly sitting with Qingchan in their designated spot.

As time passed, more people entered the hall until it was filled.

"Clang!"

A clear bell sound awakened the lovebirds sitting closely together, raising their heads to see a well-dressed young man on stage, announcing loudly:

"Welcome everyone to the decade-held grand auction of Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion. I’m the auctioneer for this event, now I’ll introduce the auction rules to you all."

"All guests may bid on any item, but malicious overpricing is not allowed."

"Please bid within your means. If you cannot produce enough funds for payment, you’ll be penalized 20% of the item’s price and added to Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion’s blacklist."

"Moving on to the auction now."

The auctioneer gently struck a bell, a beam of light descended from above, suspending three flying swords rotating in it.

"A set of three Tier Nine Treasure Flying Swords, named Pure Yang, True Yang, Lesser Yang, sharing one flying sword slot, the three swords can merge into one."

As the auctioneer introduced, the attributes of the flying swords displayed to all guests, and also appeared before Su Yu.

Pure Yang Immortal Sword (Tier Nine): Immortal Weapon, Treasure, crafted from five-crystal divine iron mixed with Sun Essence Gold, imbued with Pure Yang Force.

Attributes: Attack 5800-7500, Attack Speed 3600-4800, Sword Control Speed 3500-4500, Sword Formulas Amplification 100%, Traits: Armor Piercing +7, Pure Yang Force, Spirit Link, Three Swords Merge.

True Yang Immortal Sword (Tier Nine): Immortal Weapon, Treasure, five-crystal divine iron...

All three flying swords have extremely powerful attributes; their visible attributes aren’t inferior to Su Yu’s Star God Sword and Tiangang Immortal Sword, but with the additional advantage of Three Swords Merging and occupying only one flying sword slot, they surpass his two swords, estimated not to be inferior to a Tier Ten Flying Sword.

"The three swords are auctioned together, starting at 1 million gold, each raise must be no less than 10,000 gold, starting now!"

As soon as the words fell, someone bid immediately.

"1,100,000 gold."

"1,200,000 gold."

"1,300,000 gold."

.....

The bidding speed was swift, within seconds reaching 3 million gold, leaving Su Yu astonished.

"Too expensive."

Neither he nor Qingchan intended to bid.

He possessed two Tier Nine flying swords, Qingchan even had two Tier Nine flying swords plus two Tier Ten flying swords, her wealth in flying sword weapons surpassed his.

The bidding for the three Tier Nine flying swords continued until it soared to 4.8 million gold, at which point no more bids followed, claimed by a guest who had concealed their aura and appearance.

After the first item, the next item was of much less value, a formula for the Creation Great Rejuvenation Pill.

The Creation Great Rejuvenation Pill is an Immortal Pill, containing the force of creation, able to regenerate severed limbs, reconstruct the body, even reviving a nearly destroyed form.

This formula started at only 50,000 gold, and when bidding reached 150,000 gold, it couldn’t go higher.

At this point, Su Yu decisively placed a bid, managed a few rounds and secured it with just 170,000 gold.

Although Vast Sea is a master of all professions and an expert in alchemy, his store of recipes was lacking. Upon seeing such a powerful one’s formula, he needed to acquire it.

The next item is top-level Artifact Refining material, which Su Yu wasn’t interested in.

For the following few items, he continued watching other bids, until after over a dozen items, one made Su Yu’s eyes gleam.

Jade Nectar Formula: Ninth-grade Immortal Wine, brewed from a hundred Immortal Fruits and Immortal Realm spring water, is a top-tier wine of the Immortal Realm.

Attributes: First sip permanently adds +3 to all innate attributes, Qi and Blood and Mana limits +10000.

Attributes: Instantly restores 5 million Qi and Blood and 5 million Mana, subsequently restores 500,000 Qi and Blood and 500,000 Mana per second, lasts 120 seconds, Traits: Removes statuses, dispels enchantments.

This item starting at 200,000 gold, as bidding actions slowed down at 320,000 gold, and only two or three were placing bids, Su Yu decisively bid again.

After several back and forth raises, succeeding at 370,000 gold, he secured the item.

"Having wealth is great!"

Spot something desired, with wealth, one secures it.

Back when the Thousand Feather Association fell, had he refused Chu Xinyue’s proposal to go overseas and establish the Thousand Star Hall, merely focusing on cultivating, his prowess might have been stronger, but his wealth could never compare to now.

Lacking guild support, affording even 100,000 gold would be hard, unlike now with over 20 million gold at hand, a true tycoon.
