Today’s auction features a total of 108 items!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man waved his right hand, and the surrounding virtual light instantly coalesced into lifelike holographic projections of the items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The 108 auction items include cultivation resources, battle armor, and combat technique manuals—perhaps even something you’re seeking.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I won’t waste your time. I now declare this auction officially open!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid applause, a holographic projection of a peculiar plant emitting cold mist slowly rotated in midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It allowed every attendee to see it clearly. At the same time, the middle-aged man introduced:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lot 1: an extremely rare thirty-year A-grade rare herb, Hanyingcao!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Consumed directly, it boosts the spiritual power of any below fifth-rank adept by fifty points.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It is also one of the main ingredients in crafting Hanying Dan.

Fourth-rank Thunder Cores are rarely sold publicly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss this chance, and you won’t know how long you’ll have to wait for the next. Anyone else?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man called again, but no one bid higher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Forty-four million thrice! Sold!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Congratulations to the gentleman in seat 0310.

You’d be better off hunting them directly in the Thunderstorm Zone—it’s more cost-effective.” Jiang Luo asked in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I feel my proficiency is about to break through, so I want to try pushing it all at once,” Xu Jingming replied with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Already about to break through to Condensation?” Jiang Luo’s eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a Thunder-affinity adept himself, he had only fully mastered it in his third year of college...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The auction continued, item after item sold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this time, Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chu also spent tens of millions, each purchasing cultivation resources and rare herbs they found interesting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, over four hours passed, and more than half of the 108 items had been auctioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The prices of subsequent items rose steadily, each starting bid at least one hundred million.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lot 98: S-grade spear, ‘Liu Yun Jin Feng Qiang.’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Liu Yun Jin Feng Qiang was forged by the master armorer Yu Wen, total length two point one meters.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The shaft is crafted from special A-grade alloy, Kemi’er Alloy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The spearhead is forged from Jifeng Alloy, the hardest and sharpest among S-grade alloys.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the man spoke, a spear materialized in the holographic projection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spear’s body glowed in a subdued, luxurious dark gold, its shaft engraved with dense, intricate cloud patterns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even through the hologram, the spearhead radiated an unmistakable sharpness and edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether cultivation resources or combat techniques, any S-grade item always drew murmurs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This spear was no exception—upon its appearance, the hall erupted in hushed whispers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master Yu Wen hasn’t forged a new weapon in one or two years, has he?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, I didn't expect such an impressive work from your first attempt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kemi’er Alloy and Jifeng Alloy—this combination is perfect!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“......”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many masters in the Thunder Secret Realm could forge weapons, but Yu Wen was the most renowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, different alloys possessed distinct properties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kemi’er Alloy increased in weight according to the energy infused into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jifeng Alloy was the hardest and sharpest among all S-grade alloys.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Combined, these three elements ensured the ‘Liu Yun Jin Feng Qiang’ would be no ordinary weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, the man on stage continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everyone should know the properties of the special A-grade Kemi’er Alloy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Strength-type adepts can infuse it with blood qi; elemental adepts can infuse it with elemental energy, causing the spear’s weight to adjust accordingly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Though spirit-type adepts cannot use it, its base weight is eight hundred kilograms.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When infused with energy, its maximum weight reaches one hundred tons—a feature many will find appealing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The starting bid for this S-grade spear is five hundred million.
