"Nie Sky Flower … …"
The pair of sisters who were serving Chu Mu noticed that Chu Mu, who had been sitting motionlessly with his eyes closed, suddenly sat up straight and opened his eyes. A sharp light shot through the void like a sword, and a faintly discernible aura of desolation spread out from his body. The sisters could not help but take a few steps back in shock.
"I must get it." Chu Mu's eyes lit up. Through the window of the VIP room, he stared at the silver-white three-petal flower on the auction stage and secretly said to himself.
He had already comprehended the concept of emptiness to perfection. The next step would be the Ultimacy.
However, it was difficult to raise the concept of emptiness to the Ultimacy. With normal progress, Chu Mu did not have the confidence to break through in a short period of time.
The most conservative estimate was that it might take one or even two years. Now, with the appearance of the Nie Sky Flower, Chu Mu saw the hope of breaking through in a short period of time. Moreover, there was only one Nie Sky Flower. No matter what, he must get it.
Chu Mu, who had made up his mind, emitted a shocking aura. The sisters' eyes flashed with infatuation from time to time. They were like two delicate flowers waiting to be plucked.
Young, good-looking, extraordinary temperament, and amazing strength. These were all excellent tools to attract beauties.
Unfortunately, Chu Mu's attention was completely attracted by the Nie Sky Flower. He did not even look at them.
A trace of mysterious aura was emitted from the Nie Sky Flower. It was mysterious and indescribable.
"Hahahaha, I did not expect there to be a treasure like the Nie Sky Flower." A loud laughter came from one of the VIP rooms. The voice was sharp and rough, and it was full of energy. It spread throughout the entire place: "I, Zhuo Buming, want the Nie Sky Flower."
"Zhuo Buming!"
"Bloodless Sword Lord Zhuo Buming!"
"It's actually this murderer. Didn't he disappear for three years?"
On the first floor, there were continuous exclamations. Obviously, Zhuo Buming's reputation was very well-known. To be able to be one of the hundred VIP guests was enough to show that this person either had a prominent status or was powerful.
"Zhuo Buming, I, Lian Qingshan, have also taken a fancy to this Nie Kong Flower." A loud and clear voice rang out. Everyone instantly felt as if a mountain was pressing down on them.
"Hmph, then let's rely on our own abilities." Zhuo Buming shouted coldly.
"I, Yang, am also interested in the Concept of Emptiness. Why don't the two of you give up?" A gentle voice rang out. Although no one could see the person, the voice was enough to give people the impression that it was a scholarly swordsman.
"Bullshit, what qualifications do you have, Kai Yang?" Zhuo Bu Ming shouted coldly.
The people who spoke were all from the VIP room. That was to say, from now on, the VIPs who had been motionless were ready to make a move.
The swordsmen on the first floor seemed to have sensed that a storm was coming. If the honored guests wanted to make a move, they naturally did not have the ability to resist. Only the honored guests on the second floor could resist.
"Whether or not I am qualified is not up to you to decide." The voice was still gentle.
"Alright, whatever you want to bid for, it's up to you." A voice rang out with a bit of majesty, immediately suppressing the others. Chu Mu recognized that it was Su Hao Sha's voice.
He was one of the two Deputy Commanders of the Sacred Sword Guards. He was so majestic that no one dared to provoke him.
Elder Dong announced the start of the auction for the Nie Sky Flower. The starting price was three million Top Grade Spirit Stones, and each bid increment was no less than one hundred thousand.
The Nie Sky Flower was a treasure that could allow people to comprehend the Concept of Emptiness.
What was the Concept of Emptiness?
It was one of the highest concepts, only slightly inferior to the Concept of Time. It was above other concepts, and it was the king of concepts. When it became a profound meaning, it was the king of profound meanings. It was a tyrannical existence that suppressed other concepts and profound meanings.
Moreover, after comprehending the Concept of Emptiness, the effect of escaping was also very good.
It could be said that any knowledgeable swordsman yearned to comprehend the Concept of Emptiness and the profound meaning of Emptiness. It would significantly increase their strength.
However, comprehending the Concept of Emptiness was too difficult. Not only did it require extremely high comprehension, but it also required appropriate opportunities.
The Nie Sky Flower was a treasure that could allow people to comprehend the Concept of Emptiness. As long as one was not a pig, they could comprehend the Concept of Emptiness by consuming the Nie Sky Flower. Of course, how to improve it depended on oneself.
"Five million, I'll take it." Zhuo Bu Ming's sharp and rough voice resounded throughout the auction.
"Six million." Lian Qingshan also bid.
"Eight million." Yang Kai's gentle voice sounded.
"Ten million!" An unfamiliar voice sounded, and the price immediately stunned everyone.
"Ten million and five hundred thousand." Zhuo Bu Ming was secretly resentful. In the past few years when he disappeared, he was wholeheartedly in seclusion to comprehend the Concept of Emptiness. Now, with his own efforts and some opportunities, he had finally improved his Concept of Emptiness to 69%, but he was still unable to break through to Dacheng's level.
Participating in this auction was also because he hoped to encounter a useful treasure. He did not expect to really encounter the Nie Sky Flower.
Zhuo Bu Ming believed that once he obtained this Nie Sky Flower and consumed it, not only would he be able to improve his Concept of Emptiness to 70%, he might even be able to improve it to 80%, 90%, or even perfection.
At that time, his survival ability would definitely be greatly improved, and his strength would also increase.
"Eleven million." Lian Qingshan said.
"Thirteen million." Yang Kai seemed to be determined to get the Nie Sky Flower.
"Fifteen million." The unfamiliar voice sounded again.
The swordsmen on the first floor of the auction hall were all dumbfounded.
In the blink of an eye, the price of the Nie Sky Flower had soared to 15 million.
Was this price high?
Very high.
Was it worth it?
For those who did not have extravagant hopes, it was not worth it, but for those who had extravagant hopes, it was worth it.
Chu Mu did not bid, because it was not the time yet.
Zhuo Bu Ming was about to explode in anger. A terrifying aura emanated from his body and filled the VIP room. He could not wait to draw his sword and kill someone.
"Sixteen million!" Zhuo Bu Ming gritted his teeth and roared.
"If you can't afford to play, then don't play." Yang Kai said indifferently, "Seventeen million."
"Twenty million, this is my highest price. If someone surpasses it, I will not raise the price." Lian Qingshan's loud voice sounded. His idea was very simple. It would be best if he could get the Nie Sky Flower and use it to comprehend the Void Concept. If he could not get it, then it would be fine. After all, even if he comprehended the Void Concept, it would take a lot of time and energy to improve in the future. It might delay his current progress.
Twenty million was definitely a high price. All of a sudden, it shocked everyone. For three breaths, no one bid.
"Twenty million going once …" Elder Dong's loud voice sounded as if he was reminding everyone.
"Twenty-one million." The unfamiliar voice became a little low. This price seemed to be challenging his ability to bear.
Basically, it was only the four of them that were bidding, and the others didn't make a move. Even though the Nie Sky Flower was precious, they knew very clearly that comprehending another Void Concept would divert a portion of their attention. There were advantages and disadvantages, so there was no need to force it.
"Twenty-one million for a Nie Sky Flower. This price is already high." Yang Kai's voice sounded again. He was also hesitating whether to continue bidding.
"Twenty-one million and five hundred thousand." Zhuo Bu Ming did not give up and still shouted with gritted teeth. Compared to the others, he was the one who needed the Nie Sky Flower the most. Because the others had not comprehended the Void Concept, only he had comprehended sixty-nine percent of it.
"Twenty-two million, this is my final price." Yang Kai seemed to ponder for a moment before he said resolutely. Although he had some wealth, if he continued to bid, even if he bought the Nie Sky Flower, he would most likely not be able to get the rest of the treasures.
And now, the auction was only halfway through. There were still a lot of treasures waiting to be auctioned.
"Okay, I'll bid twenty-two million and five hundred thousand." Zhuo Bu Ming saw hope.
The unfamiliar voice did not sound again. A full three breaths passed.
"Twenty-two million and five hundred thousand going once …" Elder Dong's voice sounded at the right time and paused for a moment. No one bid, but Zhuo Bu Ming's whole body was tense, as if he was ready to fight at any time. His expression was cold.
"Twenty-two million and five hundred thousand going twice …" Elder Dong's voice sounded again and again, affecting the hearts of countless people. Zhuo Bu Ming's breathing also became rapid.
"Twenty-two million and five hundred thousand going thrice …" Elder Dong's voice sounded. At the same time, he raised the small hammer in his hand and was about to fall. Once the hammer fell, it meant that the auction of the Nie Sky Flower was over. Zhuo Bu Ming suddenly exhaled and his whole body relaxed. Because he felt that the Nie Sky Flower was in the bag.
"Twenty-three million."
Very abruptly, at the moment when everyone's hearts fell, a voice that was as light as the wind and clouds sounded clearly.
Elder Dong's hammer, which was about to fall, stopped steadily in mid-air. Zhuo Buming only felt a surge of anger, and he almost fainted. The swordsmen on the first floor were first stunned, and then, one by one, they trembled with excitement for no reason.
"Who is it?"
"To bid at this time, is it to provoke Zhuo Bu Ming?"
"Zhuo Bu Ming's temper is not good. Isn't this to anger him?"
Yang Kai, Lian Qing Yun and the others were stunned. Su Hao Sha was also stunned. He immediately smiled bitterly. He recognized that it was Chu Mu's voice.
In fact, Chu Mu did not mean to be enemies with Zhuo Bu Ming. It was just that this time, he misjudged and thought that someone would continue to bid. After all, in his opinion, the Nie Sky Flower was very precious.
What he did not expect was that no one would continue to bid. It was not until Elder Dong's hammer was about to fall that Chu Mu was sure that there was no one else who would continue to bid.
In the blink of an eye, Chu Mu hurriedly bid before Elder Dong's hammer fell.
"Twenty-five million!" Zhuo Buming regained his senses, his face was as gloomy as the dark clouds in the sky. His eyes were filled with an incomparably sharp killing intent. His voice, seemed to roll out from his throat like thunder, resounding throughout the entire place: "Sir, I am determined to obtain the Nie Kong Flower. I hope that you will be magnanimous. Otherwise, you will be making an enemy out of me, Zhuo Buming." If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
