Blue Card Starry Sky

Chapter 180 Blue Jade Box

The very first item at the auction attracted fierce bidding. Ultimately, the Earth Spirit Pill was won by a small family on the second floor for over a million blue crystals – a price that likely represented their entire fortune! It was insane! It seemed their family had a very good chance of breaking through to the Venerable Emperor realm; otherwise, they wouldn't have paid such a high price for the Earth Spirit Pill!
"Thank you to our distinguished guest for acquiring this Earth Spirit Pill. The next item up for auction is this crystal."

As soon as the host finished speaking, the crystal rose from the platform. Its exterior was covered by a layer of black stone, so it was impossible to see what was inside. However, it clearly had energy fluctuations. Even when Lan Tian used his internal energy to observe it, he couldn't tell what was special about it. It was just a crystal of unknown energy!

Yi Mengying and Wei Ying, however, noticed something different. They were clearly amazed by the crystal; it was a treasure that touched both of them!
"Brother Blue Sky, this is a spiritual energy stone. It is very beneficial to our cultivation and can improve our cultivation speed and stabilize our cultivation level. It is a priceless treasure in the Blue Card Continent and is absolutely invaluable."

Yi Mengying and the others excitedly told Lan Tian that they were both attracted by the energy of this crystal, which was extremely rare! This was the thing they had been dreaming of!

"Okay, if it's useful to you, we'll buy it." Seeing how excited Yi Mengying and the others were, Lan Tian agreed to buy the crystal.

At this point, the host said...

"This crystal has failed to sell five times already! We hope that someone knowledgeable will be able to bid for it today. We don't know its specifics or what it's used for, and our auction house hasn't been able to figure it out either. However, judging from the material of this crystal, it's definitely not an ordinary crystal, so it must have some use. The starting bid is one thousand blue crystals, with each bid increasing by one hundred. The bidding starts now for one thousand blue crystals."

"One thousand blue crystals, once!"

No one seemed interested in this crystal; the room was completely silent as no one bid.

"One thousand blue crystals, twice!"

Lan Tian wasn't in a hurry. Since no one else seemed interested, he decided to place his bid at the last minute. At the last moment, Lan Tian raised his bidding number.

"Alright, alright! Number 2859, you've placed your bid."

The host was thrilled; this was the first time someone had made a bid, and he couldn't wait to speed things up.

"Number 2859, one thousand blue crystals twice,"

Everyone in the arena turned to look at Lan Tian, ​​wondering who this sucker was. This broken stone cost a thousand blue crystals? Was he really that rich and had nowhere to spend his money? Everyone in the arena thought Lan Tian was clueless and a complete novice. Seeing how young Lan Tian was, they all sighed.

"Number 2859, on his third bid, has won the second item. Congratulations to him!"

A chorus of boos erupted; no one was optimistic.

The third item for today's auction appears at the center of the platform, slowly descending to the second level to reveal its full form. This is a set of golden armor, protective gear for warriors. However, it is exceptionally special; its protective power is unprecedented, capable of withstanding a single, fatal blow from a Venerable Emperor level opponent without instant death. This is the strongest set of golden armor below the Venerable Emperor level. It is an extremely rare piece of equipment in the entire wasteland.

"This set of armor is already top-quality. There are only a few pieces in the entire wasteland. It was passed down from ancient times. It is definitely worth having if you want to own it."

"Today's starting price is one million blue crystals, with each bid increasing by one hundred thousand. Please begin the bidding."

This set of armor is truly top-tier equipment now, and a rare item. If you don't bid now, it'll be gone, and there won't be any of the same level on the market! The entire audience immediately stirred, with various families and forces joining the bidding.

Lan Tian was quite fond of this armor set. Although it wasn't as powerful as his own golden armor, it would be the best gift for his family. It was life-saving equipment! However, seeing the bidding, Lan Tian immediately abandoned the idea of ​​owning it. Before long, the bidding had reached three million blue crystals—a price Lan Tian simply couldn't afford!

"Five million five hundred thousand per time!"

"Five million six hundred thousand per time!"

Finally, the armor set was auctioned off to bidder number 110 on the second floor for 6.1 million. It was truly unexpected; with the ongoing war, this armor set proved to be the best protection available!
The next few items were all mediocre, but they were all sold, which is not bad.

"Our next item for today's auction is a blue jade box. This is an item that an anonymous customer has submitted to us for bidding. We haven't been able to figure out what's special about it yet, but the customer is in a hurry to get the money and sell the item. Please observe the item carefully, but once you bid, there will be no refunds."

“Everyone, take a close look and see what this little blue jade box is for. The customer said it was an object from outer space that fell from the sky. It almost ruined their family. Since they got this blue jade box, strange things have been happening to their family one after another. They hope to sell it this time to make up for their losses.”

"Once everyone has seen it clearly, you can place your bids. The starting price is 50,000 blue crystals, with each bid increasing by 1,000. Bidding begins!" At first, the entire room was silent. Indeed, this blue jade box had nothing special about it, no energy fluctuations, it was completely inanimate. Although it was from outer space, no one knew whether it was auspicious or inauspicious. From the customers' descriptions, it was clearly something to be avoided! Too unlucky!
Therefore, only a few major families and powerful figures were bidding, their idea being to buy a piece of junk to study, without causing any harm to Xiaoya.

At first, Lan Tian didn't notice anything special about the item. Indeed, there were no energy fluctuations detected. Was it a fake? Was the extraterrestrial object the customer claimed to possess genuine? Was that its selling point?
Just as Lan Tian was about to give up observing, a spatial fluctuation appeared in the blue jade box. It was very special, and only someone like Lan Tian with a spacetime attribute skill could detect it. Indeed, there was an anomaly in the box, a kind of spatial fluctuation attribute. At this moment, Lan Tian realized that this item had a special use and would definitely be of great help to him. It was a rare and invaluable item for improving his spacetime attribute skill.

When the bidding reached 60,000 blue crystals for the second time, Lantian once again raised his paddle number 2859.

"Sixty-one thousand, once!"

The current price has far exceeded everyone's expectations. Customers were willing to accept a price of 55,000, but it has now reached 61,000, far exceeding everyone's expectations. The sheer number of blue crystals surprised Yi Mengying and her group; they had only earned this much money since arriving in the Wasteland! Although they had a lot of blue crystal coins, they couldn't be used for payment or even appear in the Wasteland; only blue crystals could be used for transactions.

Now, I really don't know what Lantian is going to do? How did he come up with so much blue crystal?

"Bidding number 2859 has been offered 61,000 yuan, the second time!"

Suddenly, the entire room fell silent, waiting for another bid to be placed.

"Sixty-two thousand! Bid number five is on."

"Sixty-three thousand, bidder number 2859 has placed their bid!"

"Sixty-four thousand, bidder number five, please make your bid!"

"Sixty-five thousand, bidder number 2859 has placed their bid!"

The number five sign on the second floor is competing with Blue Sky. Did number five discover the special use of this blue jade box? Why is he keeping up with it? Blue Sky is finding it hard to keep up; if the price rises above 70,000, he really won't have the financial means!
"Sixty-six thousand, bidder number five has made their bid!"

"Sixty-seven thousand, bidder number 2859 has placed their bid!"

The price had reached 67,000, almost at Blue Sky's bottom line. At this point, the other party paused for a moment, and then made another bid.

"Sixty-eight thousand, bidder number five has placed!"

"Sixty-nine thousand, bidder number 2859 has placed their bid!"

At this point, Number Five hesitated a bit. Was it worth spending so much money to buy a piece of junk?
"Sixty-nine thousand, once!"

"Sixty-nine thousand, twice!"

"Sixty-nine thousand, three bids, sold. The blue jade box was won by bidder number 2859. Thank you everyone!"

The deal was finally made, but the price was far too high. Lantian now needs to figure out how to come up with so many blue crystals.

After successfully bidding on the blue jade box, Lan Tian finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly looked towards the direction of number five. There stood a young man, a refined and elegant gentleman; Lan Tian wondered whose son he was. Lan Tian gestured gratitude to number five, thanking him for showing mercy and letting him have the blue jade box. The man noticed Lan Tian's gesture, simply smiled slightly, nodded, and didn't look at Lan Tian again.

Lan Tian lost interest in attending the upcoming auction; he needed to go back and resolve the issue of the blue crystal.

The three quickly left and went down to the lobby on the first floor. They showed their auction paddles to the waiter and settled the auction for the day. Before coming to the lobby, Lan Tian had already teleported back to the Weilai Chamber of Commerce in Tianjing City to borrow 20,000 blue crystals from Luo Xi, and then borrowed another 50,000 blue crystals from Su Qi before coming to the lobby to settle the auction for the day.

After acquiring the two items for today's auction, Lan Tian and his two companions quickly left the area and returned to the NIO Chamber of Commerce headquarters.
