Chapter 150

This is a building resembling a huge round cauldron, its entire body forged from some dark-gold divine metal, with two rows of guards standing at the entrance, their aura fierce and eyes sharp.

Ye Wuqie calmly said, his gaze sweeping over the lower area, noticing many auras hidden among the crowd or private boxes that gave him slight pressure.

Soon after, accompanied by a resonant bell chime, the hall lights dimmed slightly, focusing on the central massive auction platform.

A woman wearing an almost transparent gauze dress, with a fiery, alluring figure and a charming, captivating face, twisted her snake‑like waist and slowly walked up to the auction stage.

Her eyes sparkled, her glances radiant; every move exuded deadly allure, instantly drawing the gaze of the entire audience.

"Esteemed guests, welcome to this Tai Xuan Auction. I, Lianli, am honored to host this grand event for you."

Her voice carried a bone‑melting, seductive charm that made even cultivators with modest composure breathe a little faster.

"Enough small talk, let's bring up the first item!"

Lianli lightly clapped her jade‑like hand.

A flash of light revealed a towering figure—about 3.3 meters tall—with bulging muscles, bronzed skin, and dull eyes yet emanating the powerful aura of one who has reached the pinnacle of the Immortal Ascension Ladder, shackled in iron cuffs and pushed onto the auction stage.

His whole body emanated a brutal battlefield killing aura, clearly a powerful war slave who crawled out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

"This is the 'Giant Spirit War Slave,' cultivating at the first stage of the Immortal Path—namely, the peak of the Immortal Ascension Ladder, mastering myriad killing techniques, fearless of death, absolutely loyal!"

Lianli smiled like a flower, even adding a hint of ambiguity as she joked: "According to its former master, this slave is not only extraordinarily formidable on the battlefield, but…… in certain aspects, it also performs exceptionally well, knows how to serve—ladies, if you're interested, don't miss out!"

This bold teasing instantly provoked waves of laughter from the audience and even hotter gazes.

"Opening bid: ten million universe crystals! Each bid must increase by at least five hundred thousand!"

Universe crystals, the universal currency of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

He emanated a fierce battlefield killing aura, obviously a powerful war slave crawled out from the Corpse Mountain Blood Sea.

Such a powerful war slave, whether used for guarding, warfare, or certain special predilections, is extremely valuable.

Lianyi's smile blossomed like a flower, even with a hint of ambiguous tone she joked: "According to the previous owner's revelation, this slave is not only incredibly formidable on the battlefield, but…… in some aspects, also lives very well, oh, knows how to serve people, ladies, if you're interested, don't miss out, oh……"

This bold teasing immediately provoked waves of laughter from the audience and even more fervent gazes.

「Starting bid, ten million universal crystals! Each increment must be no less than five hundred thousand! 」

Universal crystals, the common currency of the Nine Heavens Ten Earths.

Finally, after fierce bidding, this Giant Spirit War Slave was sold for a sky‑high price of fifty million universe crystals to a female powerhouse shrouded in pink mist.

The auction's atmosphere had been driven to a climax from the very start.

The subsequent items were all treasures without exception.

There were damaged ancient weapons, divine elixirs that could extend life for ten thousand years, ancient jade slips recording lost divine abilities, rare minerals from the Abyssal Demon Realm… each item sparked fierce bidding, prices climbing steadily, leaving the audience dazzled and hearts racing.

Ye Wuqie remained calm throughout, making no move.

His goal was clear: only the Primordial Divine Fruit.

Time passed, and the auction had passed its halfway point.

"Next up is the eighteenth item—"

Lianli's attendant presented a cold‑jade treasure box; upon opening it, a fist‑sized divine fruit appeared, its entire body flowing with chaotic qi, natural patterns etched on its surface, exuding a rich innate primordial aura, displayed before everyone.

There were damaged ancient weapons, divine medicines capable of extending life for myriad years, ancient Jade Slips recording lost divine abilities, and rare ores from the demonic abyss…… each item provoked fierce bidding, prices soaring, leaving people dazzled and hearts racing.

Lianli's voice also took on a solemn tone: "This fruit contains a strand of primordial primordial essence; it is miraculous for body refinement, Dao comprehension, and repairing one's Dao foundation, especially supreme for cultivators who practice extreme yang, extreme firm body‑refining divine abilities—it is a supreme holy product! Opening bid: eighty million universe crystals; each bid must increase by at least five million."

As her words fell, bidding voices rose one after another.

"Ninety million!"

"One hundred million!"

Lianyi's maid presented a cold jade treasure box; upon opening it, a fist-sized divine fruit appeared before everyone, its entire body flowing with Chaos Qi, its surface naturally bearing Dao markings, exuding rich primordial Tai Chu Qi.

The value of the Primordial Divine Fruit was clearly recognized, with many contenders.

Lianyi's voice also carried a hint of solemnity: 「This fruit contains a trace of Tai Chu Primordial Qi; it is highly effective for body tempering, comprehending the Dao, and repairing the Dao Foundation, especially for fellow cultivators who train in certain utmost yang and utmost firm body-tempering divine abilities, it is a supreme sacred treasure! Starting bid, eighty million universal crystals! Each increment must be no less than five million! 」

He directly raised the price by nearly double; his voice, transmitted from his private box, rang throughout the hall, instantly causing many bidders to lose their spirit.

This price already exceeded many people's expectations.

Yet some major powers were unwilling to give up.

"Three hundred twenty million!"

"Three hundred fifty million!"

Ye Wuqie's expression remained unchanged: "Five hundred million."

The entire auction hall fell silent!

Five hundred million universe crystals for a single Primordial Divine Fruit—though worth it, it can still be considered a grand expenditure.

The War Prince timely spoke in the name of the War God Heavenly Palace, declaring his determination to win it at all costs.

Finally, with no further bids, Ye Wuqie successfully secured the Primordial Divine Fruit.

The moment he obtained the fruit, Ye Wuqie could feel his indestructible Imperial Golden Body rejoicing, signaling that a breakthrough to the eighth transformation was imminent.

The auction continued, the atmosphere growing ever hotter.

After several more stunning treasures were auctioned off, the auction gradually drew to a close.

At that moment, an attendant presented a purple‑sandalwood tray covered with red silk.

Lianli lifted the red silk, revealing an object that left most of the audience puzzled.

Finally, with no one raising the bid, Ye Wuque successfully secured this Tai Chu divine fruit.

The instant he obtained the divine fruit, Ye Wuque could feel his Undying Indestructible Imperial Golden Body exulting within him; breaking through the Eighth Turn was now imminent.

The auction continued, and the atmosphere grew ever more heated.

After several more sensational treasures were sold in succession, the auction gradually drew to a close.

At this moment, a maid presented a sandalwood tray covered with red silk.

Lian Yi lifted the red silk to reveal the item, but it left most of those present with looks of confusion.

It wasn't some radiant weapon elixir, but rather a sheet that looked quite aged, its edges even somewhat rough, the whole thing dark gold in color, with nothing on its surface but the natural grain, merely emitting on its own a gentle and brilliant radiance… a mysterious golden paper?
