"Really!"
Mu Ling'er was deeply touched by her master's words, "Thank you, Master."
Mu Ling'er understood that without her Master, she would likely not even be able to enter the Atlantean Auction House. After all, auctions of this caliber could be considered planet-level events, attended only by the elites of various planets. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it was a gathering of powerhouses.
Soon, the group arrived in front of the Atlantean Auction House.
Upon seeing the venue, Ye Xuan curved his lips, as he had discovered something good on his way to the Star River Mall.
The Emperor Breaking Pill!
That's right, a pill capable of increasing a Great Emperor-level cultivator by one rank.
Seeing this pill, Ye Xuan's eyes lit up. He flipped his hand, took out a pill, and consumed it immediately. His aura, which was at the peak of a fifth-tier Great Emperor, directly advanced to that of a sixth-tier Great Emperor.
Of course, although it was an Emperor Breaking Pill, it only increased the probability of Great Emperor-level cultivators advancing. Furthermore, each Great Emperor-level cultivator could only use it once in their lifetime. The closer they were to the peak, the better the effect.
With this pill, he was sure to make a fortune at this auction.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for redeeming [Emperor Breaking Pill] x5, consuming 5000 Star River Coins!"
Ye Xuan directly redeemed five Emperor Breaking Pills. With these pills, they were definitely cheat-level artifacts. Moreover, once their effects spread, they would surely cause a sensation. After all, the Emperor Breaking Pill was effective for all cultivators below the ninth tier of Great Emperor, and it had no side effects.
The Atlantean Auction House was managed by the second Battle King of Atlantean Planet, Seven Kill King. As the subordinate of Killing King, Seven Kill King was deeply trusted by the Star Lord Ilif.
Upon recognizing Ye Xuan's Battle General status, the staff immediately led Ye Xuan, Mu Ling'er, and Zophie, who was accompanying them, to VIP Room No. 8.
"You wait here. I'll be back soon."
After saying that, Ye Xuan left the Atlantean Auction House. How could he miss such an opportunity to gain Middle-grade Emperor Crystals? After all, all the attendees were wealthy individuals from various planets.
Subsequently, Ye Xuan, cloaked in a black robe, appeared behind the auction stage. His aura was fully unleashed, the power of a fifth-tier Great Emperor surging forth, immediately drawing the attention of the Atlantean Auction House staff.
"Sir, is there anything we can help you with?"
A respectful and sweet voice, as gentle as a spring breeze, entered his ears, feeling very comforting. It was evident that the Atlantean Auction House had very strict training for its staff.
However, this was understandable. After all, anyone who could enter this place was either rich or noble. A slight oversight could lead to unnecessary trouble.
"I want to auction something."
"Oh, I see."
The exceptionally beautiful staff member heard this and said, "This way, sir."
Under the guidance of the staff member, they arrived at an appraiser's seat. Sensing Ye Xuan's extremely powerful aura, the appraisers collectively stood up.
It was no joke.
With this gentleman's peak fifth-tier Great Emperor cultivation, it was enough to command such respect from them!
"Greetings, sir."
Seeing the four third-tier Great Emperor appraisers, Ye Xuan gave a low hum, then with his right hand, he produced the [Emperor Breaking Pill] redeemed from the system.
"This is what I wish to auction."
He paused, and the eyes of the four appraisers simultaneously fixed on a brocade box. "This item is called the [Emperor Breaking Pill]. As for its effects, it can greatly increase the breakthrough probability of peak cultivators below the ninth tier of the Great Emperor realm. The closer one is to the peak, the greater the possibility of breakthrough."
What!?
Upon hearing Ye Xuan's words, the pupils of the four appraisers constricted, and their gaze towards the brocade box on the appraisal table changed.
Then... they carefully opened the brocade box. As soon as a sliver of the lid was revealed, a wondrous medicinal fragrance wafted out. Just the diffused fragrance made the four of them feel refreshed, and their auras clearly improved slightly.
Immediately, they swiftly closed the brocade box.
This... is a divine artifact!!
Clearly, although they had never seen this item before, its effects were unprecedented. They believed that once this item appeared at the auction, it would undoubtedly attract fierce competition from various planets and forces.
"Sir, we will place this item as the final auction item."
Gulp~
Swallowing their saliva, one of the appraisers respectfully bowed, "May I know, sir, what your name is?"
"Xuan Ye."
The calm voice emanated, as if possessing some magical power that commanded the respect of the four.
"Understood."
"Lord Xuan Ye, we will make the arrangements immediately!"
After a brief exchange, Ye Xuan left and then put away his black cloak before returning to VIP Room No. 8.
"Sir!"
"Master!!"
Zophie and Mu Ling'er greeted Ye Xuan as he returned.
"The auction seems to be about to begin."
As Ye Xuan's voice fell, a person appeared on the auction stage. This person was none other than Seven Kill King, who was second only to Killing King on Atlantean Star.
His aura as a peak fifth-tier Great Emperor surged forth. Although his combat power was inferior to Killing King, it was not by much.
Moreover, in various VIP rooms around the auction house, one could sense strong auras, with several being no weaker than Seven Kill King, all at the peak of the fifth-tier Great Emperor realm.
"Welcome, esteemed guests. We are honored to have you attend the Atlantean Auction House's annual auction. This auction has accepted 318 consignors who have entrusted us with their items. Among them, there are three final auction items: the remains of a powerful Elf from tens of thousands of years ago, a Royal-class spaceship, and a mysterious medicinal pill."
"We believe these three items will not disappoint our guests. Let the auction commence!"
"Please present the first auction item..."
Following that, the auction began as scheduled.
The first auction item was covered with a red cloth. As Seven Kill King's voice fell, the red cloth was lifted, revealing a battle axe on the auction stage.
"This is a King-class battle axe. Its previous owner was a seventh-tier Great Emperor, who was ultimately slain by the consignor. They have entrusted it to our auction house for sale."
"The bidding for the first auction item begins now!"
"The starting bid is 10,000 Star River Coins, with increments of no less than 5,000 Star River Coins!" The Great Feng Novel
As Seven Kill King's voice concluded, the crowd immediately erupted in excitement. A King-class battle axe was a rare item indeed. After all, Imperial-grade weapons, like those of Killing King, were rarely seen even in the Star River Empire.
As expected, the auction hall buzzed with bids.
"10,000 Star River Coins!"
"15,000 Star River Coins!"
"20,000 Star River Coins!"
Soon, the first auction item, the King-class battle axe, was acquired by a fifth-tier Great Emperor. Subsequently, the second auction item began...
The bidding was rapid, with one item after another being sold. Without exception, they were all rare and valuable items.
Two hours later, the auction arrived at the final items.
"Very well, we will now proceed with the auction of the final items. The first final auction item is the remains of a powerful Elf from tens of thousands of years ago!"
At this point, Seven Kill King's voice rose several decibels. "According to intelligence, the power of this Elf from tens of thousands of years ago was likely above the Great Emperor realm. Although tens of thousands of years have passed, its physical body has only suffered minor damage. It might even be possible to extract Elf essence blood from it, though the probability is not high."
"Now, the first final auction item, the remains of the Elf power, is up for auction!"
"The starting bid is 50 Middle-grade Emperor Crystals, with increments of no less than 5 Middle-grade Emperor Crystals!"
However, upon hearing Seven Kill King's words, the entire venue fell into an eerie silence. It wasn't for any other reason than the unknown value of the Elf's remains. Although they were powerful in life, it was, after all, just a corpse. Just as Seven Kill King had predicted, the hall fell silent, and the Elf's remains seemed on the verge of being unsold.
Mu Ling'er, in the VIP room, clenched her fists, as these were the remains of her ancestor. Ye Xuan also paused, looking at the silent hall, surprised that this item seemed so easy to obtain. Just as Seven Kill King thought it would go unsold, Ye Xuan curved his lips, "50 Middle-grade Emperor Crystals, I'll take it!"
