Chapter 1762: Chapter 1762: Bidding Against Yang Xiaotian to the End
Hearing that someone from Hongmeng Academy’s Main Campus intended to deal with Yang Xiaotian, everyone became interested and started inquiring and discussing.
"Who from Hongmeng Academy’s Main Campus wants to deal with Yang Xiaotian?"
Everyone wanted to know who in the Hongmeng Academy’s Main Campus intended to take on Yang Xiaotian.
At this time, Yang Xiaotian returned to his rented courtyard, took out the sword and the Sword Path Manual, and first refined and assimilated the sword.
After refining the sword, a message about the sword appeared in his mind.
"Star Robe Sword."
This sword was indeed called the Star Robe Sword.
However, he only knew that the sword was called the Star Robe Sword.
He knew nothing more about it.
Yang Xiaotian began to flip through the swordsmanship manual.
This swordsmanship manual was called the Star Robe Sword Art, a Sword Path Defying Heaven Top Tier Holy Technique!
Now, Yang Xiaotian had already mastered one hundred and twenty Sword Path Defying Heaven Top Tier Holy Techniques, and with this one, it made one hundred and twenty-one.
He needed only seventy-nine more.
Yang Xiaotian carefully read through the Star Robe Sword Art from start to finish, then closed his eyes and recalled it once, ensuring he had fully memorized the essentials of the technique.
He then carefully read it a second time.
After finishing, he closed his eyes again to recall and comprehend.
Although for the second time, he already fully understood it, Yang Xiaotian was not eager to practice. Instead, he read through it a third time, and only after completing the third did he begin practicing the Star Robe Sword Art.
In no time, Yang Xiaotian had cultivated the Star Robe Sword Art to the Minor Accomplishment Realm.
When he activated the Star Robe Sword with the Minor Accomplishment Realm Star Robe Sword Art, the one hundred and twenty Sword Stars on the blade emitted dazzling sword lights.
These sword lights were magnificent, seeming less powerful, but when the sword light fell upon a distant mountain rock, it silently pierced through.
Furthermore, when Yang Xiaotian activated the Star Robe Sword with the Minor Accomplishment Realm Star Robe Sword Art, a mysterious star map appeared in his mind.
This star map corresponded with the pattern formed by the one hundred and twenty Sword Stars of the Star Robe Sword Stone.
Yang Xiaotian felt that the secret of the Star Robe Sword lay within this star map.
However, the star map was still very vague.
He supposed that once he cultivated the Star Robe Sword Art to the Summit Mastery realm, the star map would become completely clear.
Thinking of this, Yang Xiaotian continued to cultivate.
Once he cultivated the Star Robe Sword Art to the Great Accomplishment Realm, indeed, the star map in his mind became a bit clearer.
And the star map seemed to form a special symbol.
Yang Xiaotian noticed that the sky had completely darkened.
He continued to cultivate.
Unknowingly, the sky had completely brightened.
Today was the day of the auction, and Old Lu came to call him.
Only then did Yang Xiaotian stop.
Due to his Divine Avatars not being able to be too far from his body, he could only retract the two Divine Avatars he was cultivating and then head to the Star Auction with Old Lu.
"Young Master Yang!"
"Young Hero Yang!"
Seeing Yang Xiaotian’s arrival, everyone greeted him warmly.
Even sect masters, family heads, and those like Emperor Long Shi from yesterday addressed Yang Xiaotian as Brother Yang.
Even people from the Star Auction solemnly invited Yang Xiaotian to their auction’s VIP room.
A Saint Realm being like Yang Xiaotian being invited into the Star Chamber of Commerce Auction was a first.
The Holy Child of the Six Paths and Master of the Nine Sha Hall had already arrived, and both looked coldly at Yang Xiaotian being surrounded by the crowd from their respective VIP rooms.
Especially the Holy Child of the Six Paths, he looked at Yang Xiaotian coldly and snorted softly.
Before yesterday, people were extremely enthusiastic about him, but today, after Yang Xiaotian had comprehended the Star Robe Sword Stone, they became much less enthusiastic about him.
He was experiencing being ignored for the first time.
"Young Master, Yang Xiaotian is here," said a subordinate of the Holy Child of the Six Paths.
The Holy Child of the Six Paths glared coldly at that subordinate, thinking, I’m not blind; do you need to remind me?
The subordinate lowered his head, not daring to speak again.
"No matter what Yang Xiaotian bids on later, I must compete against him to the end!" The cold voice of the Holy Child of the Six Paths echoed in the VIP room.
Sensing the killing intentions from the Holy Child of the Six Paths and the Master of the Nine Sha Hall, as well as from others, Yang Xiaotian remained composed and sat in the VIP room with Old Lu, waiting for the auction to begin.
While Yang Xiaotian waited, experts from all sides continued to flood into the auction, and soon, there were no empty seats.
Before long, the auction began.
The first item up for auction was a Supreme Sword Holy Technique Secret Manual.
Supreme Holy Techniques were of no use to Yang Xiaotian, so he did not participate in the auction. Although Yang Xiaotian showed no interest, there were many factions present who were interested in this Supreme Sword Holy Technique Secret Manual, leading to intense bidding.
After that Sword Path Manual was auctioned off, the next item was a rare relic from the Ancient Era.
With each auctioned item, the atmosphere on site grew increasingly enthusiastic.
In no time, more than a dozen items had been auctioned.
The Holy Child of the Six Paths wore a gloomy face, having waited for Yang Xiaotian to start bidding, but never seeing Yang Xiaotian make a sound after more than a dozen items were auctioned.
Seeing the gloomy countenance of the Holy Child of the Six Paths, one of his subordinates whispered, "Perhaps Yang Xiaotian is also here for those two Sword Path Manuals of Emperor Long Shi."
The Holy Child of the Six Paths nodded; if that were the case, then he must rival Yang Xiaotian to the end.
He desired those two Sword Path Manuals of Emperor Long Shi so much that he was willing to empty his resources to obtain them!
Previously, he had acquired an ancient powerhouse’s cave mansion treasure.
This time, he brought ten billion with him.
It was all his assets.
At this moment, the auction leader brought out a Space Ring, opened it, and inside floated clusters of flames.
Seeing these Sacred Flames, Yang Xiaotian’s eyes brightened.
These flames were precisely the Dao Holy Flames he was looking to bid for this time.
Initially, he was worried that there wouldn’t be enough Dao Holy Flames at the auction to allow one of his Chaos Divine Flames to transform into a Holy Fire, but these Dao Holy Flames were as plentiful as the ones he obtained at the Flame Princess’s palace, enough for him to let one Chaos Divine Fire transform into a Holy Fire.
"Next up for auction are the Dao Holy Flames. These Dao Holy Flames have a wide array of uses; they can be used for alchemy to enhance elixir quality, or for artifact refining to strengthen the defense and attack of Holy Artifacts," the auctioneer smiled as he introduced the uses of the Dao Holy Flames to the crowd one by one.
After extolling the Dao Holy Flames to the sky, he announced, "The starting bid for these Dao Holy Flames is one hundred million, with a minimum increment of one million."
Originally, those interested in the Dao Holy Flames lost interest upon hearing this.
After all, a hundred million had far exceeded people’s psychological price point.
The venue fell into silence.
The auctioneer, noticing no one bid, was getting awkward and was about to speak when suddenly a voice rang out: "One hundred and ten million."
