An auction was going to be held in Sky Dragon City. For this reason, there was a lot of publicity.
Currently, there were a few announced treasures that would appear in the auction. One of them was the Black Dragon Essence Blood. In addition, there were other treasures that were quite eye-catching.
There was a technique to choosing the treasures to be auctioned. Not all treasures could be announced. If the right choice was made, the auction would become more famous and attract more people.
Of course, the auction also set a corresponding threshold. One had to pay a certain amount of deposit to enter. This deposit was a kind of guarantee. After the auction ended, the deposit would be returned. If it was verified that one did not have the corresponding wealth during the auction, not only would one be expelled, but the deposit would also be confiscated.
Whether it was auctioning a lot of treasures or setting a threshold, it was inevitable that there would be some conflicts and conflicts during the auction. If the host of the auction did not have enough strength, they would not be able to deal with such a situation. They might even be turned into the host. At that time, the auction would become a big joke.
Therefore, the host of the auction often had to have enough strength or backing. In a situation where one did not have enough strength, they could only ask for external help.
It was because of this situation that Kong Liu came and happened to meet Chu Mu, who was being chased by Zhan Wuming.
The host of the auction had a little relationship with Kong Liu. To put it simply, Kong Liu once owed a favor to the host of the auction. It was because of this relationship that the host was able to invite a second refinement expert like Kong Liu to oversee the auction.
After this time, the favor would be used up. It would naturally be impossible to invite an expert like Kong Liu to oversee the auction next time.
"If the Black Dragon Essence Blood wasn't announced, I could use my face to obtain the Black Dragon Essence Blood for you and avoid the auction." Kong Liu brought Chu Mu towards Heavenly Dragon City.
Unfortunately, one of the announced treasures was the Black Dragon Essence Blood. This meant that the Black Dragon Essence Blood had to appear in the auction. Otherwise, it would be a slap to the host's face.
"It's okay. I will get it." Chu Mu said. Because he had obtained a lot of law crystals from the secret realm of the Holy Water Palace ruins, he had a great chance of bidding for the Black Dragon Essence Blood.
Perhaps, other than the Black Dragon Blood Essence, there would be other treasures suitable for him at the auction. For example, treasures that could increase his cultivation.
Now, Chu Mu's Yuan Power had been refined to the extreme. Two-thirds of his Dantian was empty. The Dragon Yuan Elixir could be used again. It continued to absorb the Yuan Power of Heaven and Earth, turning it into pure Yuan Power and injecting it into his Dantian. Its absorption speed was equivalent to the cultivation speed of a Nine Star Martial Saint.
So now, the amount of Divine Wilderness Sword Essence that had not been tempered in Chu Mu's Dantian had increased by quite a bit.
…
Sky Dragon City was a very big city. It was rumored that the City Lord of Sky Dragon City was a peerless expert. However, his strength was a secret and very few people knew about it.
The auction would be held in Sky Dragon City's Soaring Dragon Pavilion.
Since he had been invited by the organizer of the auction, even though it was not appropriate for him to directly purchase a treasure like the Black Dragon Blood Essence, it was not difficult for him to obtain an independent room.
Although the organizer of the auction was shocked that Chu Mu had come together with Kong Liu and was curious, he did not dare to ask. He treated them with respect and was very sincere. Not long after, he sent someone to deliver a list of the treasures to be auctioned.
"Senior Kong Liu, we have already prepared a room for you," the organizer of the auction said respectfully.
"No need, I will stay in this room with brother Chu," Kong Liu said indifferently. Then, he looked at Chu Mu and smiled, "Brother, you won't drive me away, right?"
"Haha, it's great that brother Kong Liu is willing to stay," Chu Mu said with a smile.
This scene caused the person in charge of the auction to be extremely shocked. Originally, he thought that Chu Mu was a younger generation that Kong Liu thought highly of and would give him some pointers. However, when he heard the way the two of them addressed each other, he realized that the two of them were probably friends of the same generation.
One must know that Kong Liu was a recognized peerless Second Refinement expert. To be able to talk to him as an equal, one must at least have the strength of a peerless First Refinement expert.
This person who didn't seem very old was actually a peerless expert?
"In that case, let's enjoy the wine together," Kong Liu said with a smile.
"Senior, please wait a moment. I have some good wine here. I will bring it up immediately for you to taste," the organizer of the auction immediately said. The person in charge of the auction immediately said and quickly left. Not long after, he came in with a big pot of wine. In addition to the big pot of wine, there were some exquisite dishes that went with the wine. They looked, smelled, and looked very appetizing.
"Seniors, this pot of wine is called Silver Moon Clear Stream. It is a five-hundred-year-old wine. Please have a taste." After putting down the dishes, the organizer turned and left, closing the door of the room.
A wine that had been brewed for five hundred years was indeed very old. Its value was extraordinary.
"Five-hundred-year-old wine, Silver Moon Clear Stream. I have heard of this name before, but I have never tasted it. Today, you and I will taste it," Kong Liu said. With a thought, the wine pot flew up automatically and the wine was poured out.
The two of them sat in the room, tasting the wine and chatting as they looked at the treasures on the list.
Silver Moon Clear Stream lived up to its name. It was refreshing and sweet. It was as if they were sitting beside a clear stream, looking up at the silver moon in the sky. It was an indescribable feeling.
The auction started as scheduled.
There were more than a hundred kinds of treasures listed on the list. Of course, to hold a large auction, it was impossible to do so without enough treasures. However, it was not only quantity that was needed, but also quality.
Hence, there were a few treasures that were extremely precious. Even peerless experts would be tempted.
The treasures in front of the auction were useless to Chu Mu. Naturally, he wouldn't bid for them.
"This elixir is called Shang Qing Extreme Elemental Elixir. One elixir can replenish all the elemental energy of a peak Seventh Sky of Aeon. There are ten elixirs in total. The starting price is 10,000 Upper Grade Elemental Elixirs.
Chu Mu's eyes lit up.
His current situation was that the Divine Wilderness Sword Essence had been refined and condensed. Hence, the quantity had decreased. Two-thirds of his dantian was empty. He urgently needed to replenish his elemental energy to recover to the peak of the Ninth Star Martial Saint level.
This situation wasn't considered a consumption of elemental energy, but it was similar. Hence, elixirs that could increase and recover cultivation were useful to him. Of course, if the quality of the elixir wasn't high enough, the effect wouldn't be obvious. It wasn't as effective as the Dragon Essence Elixir.
Each of the Shang Qing Extreme Elemental Elixir could replenish the elemental energy of a peak Seventh Sky of Aeon. The energy contained in the elixir was shocking. It was very suitable for Chu Mu's current situation.
Hence, Chu Mu bid.
He had plenty of Upper Grade Elemental Elixirs. To him, Upper Grade Elemental Elixirs were worthless.
In the end, ten Shang Qing Extreme Elemental Elixirs were won by Chu Mu at the price of 50,000 Upper Grade Elemental Elixirs. This price exceeded the price of ten Shang Qing Extreme Elemental Elixirs. However, to Chu Mu, it didn't matter. Using useless Upper Grade Elemental Elixirs to exchange for useful Shang Qing Extreme Elemental Elixirs, Chu Mu was willing to pay more.
This was Chu Mu's first reward in this auction.
The auction continued. Chu Mu and Kong Liu slowly tasted the wine. Then, some treasures appeared. The effects were similar to the Dragon Essence Elixir, but they were weaker and couldn't be stacked. Chu Mu didn't bid.
One by one, treasures appeared and participated in the auction. Soon, a treasure that was advertised appeared.
The final price of this treasure reached an astonishing 300,000 Upper Grade Elemental Elixirs. Chu Mu could also afford such a price. However, that treasure was of no use to him now. Naturally, he didn't bid.
"Soon, it will be the Black Dragon Essence Blood's turn," Kong Liu said.
The treasures that appeared in the auction were all recorded on the list. Moreover, they were listed in order. Chu Mu glanced at it. After two more treasures, it was the Black Dragon Essence Blood's turn. Although it wasn't the finale, it was still the third last treasure.
"I can sense that among the people participating in this auction, there are a few peerless experts who haven't bid yet. I guess they are aiming for the last treasure. The Black Dragon Essence Blood may be among them. When the time comes, it may be a fierce competition," Kong Liu said.
The reason why the organizer of the auction had invited him over was to intimidate the few peerless experts. After all, the organizer of the auction was not weak. There was also a peerless expert present. However, he was only at the First Refinement. He was not a deterrent to other peerless experts. However, he was more than enough to intimidate those below the level of peerless experts.
"It doesn't matter. I am determined to get the Black Dragon Essence Blood." Chu Mu said softly. His tone was indifferent, but there was an unquestionable firmness in it. It was like a boulder that couldn't be shaken. This was a kind of belief.
Kong Liu nodded. "It's fine. If you don't have enough money, I still have some here."
"Then I might really need to borrow your help," Chu Mu said with a smile.
Soon, this treasure was also auctioned off.
The third last treasure was presented. It was sealed in a transparent crystal. It was a ball of black liquid about the size of a baby's fist. It was so black that it was pure and deep, as if it had absorbed all light.
A domineering and fierce aura spread out from the ball of black liquid and covered the entire auction venue. Under the terrifying aura, many people's faces immediately changed. They raised their own aura to resist it.
Vaguely, there seemed to be a domineering roar. It was as if there was a huge shadow of a black dragon entrenched in the void. Its aura skyrocketed. The Saint-level experts who were not peerless experts all changed their faces. Their eyes were full of fear and passion.
