Swallowing the Stars: The Rise of Emperor Wei

"Now we have the first batch of auction items. You can all see the 1000 items to be auctioned on your auction tokens. If you wish to purchase, please prepare to place your bids," the old man in the tortoise shell shouted. "Now we have the first item—92 members of the Berna Clan, a metallic life form."

……

Items were auctioned off one after another, like a flowing stream.

Luo Feng and Gao Sheng watched the auction price rise steadily, but did not place a bid.

……

"Lanko Fruit is the best item for cultivating spirit beasts and plant life. Even if one is seriously injured, consuming Lanko Fruit will have a healing effect. 100 Lanko Fruits make up one unit. There are 39 units of Lanko Fruit here. The minimum price for each unit is 1000 billion cosmic coins."

"Bid 1100 billion." This time, Gao Sheng did not hesitate. Even if there was nothing else to buy at this auction, he had to buy the Lan Ke Fruit.

Luo Feng also joined the scramble.

In the end, Gao Sheng and Luo Feng each won four and two units respectively, at a price of 1800-1820 billion cosmic coins per unit.

The main reason for buying so many is that Gao Sheng's cultivation is progressing too fast, and the Brahma Flower can't keep up with his level. In addition, Nan Si has just cultivated a Snow Taro Vine, which is at an even lower level. With two sets of Lan Ke Fruits each, plus other cultivation resources, they should be able to reach the sixth or seventh level of the Universe level relatively quickly.

Using Lanco Fruit is significantly more expensive than normal cultivation resources, but it's not outrageous.

The auction for this batch of items ended quickly, and Gao Sheng and Luo Feng paid their fees and agreed on a delivery location.

……

"This is the fourth batch of auction items. On your auction tokens, you can see the 1000 items that will be auctioned next. If you see something you want to bid on, please get ready," the old man in the tortoise shell said with a smile.

Gao Sheng and Luo Feng both carefully examined the tokens in their hands.

"Divine Weapon, Divine Weapon. One of the nine divine weapons wielded by mental masters, the Divine Weapon. Luo Feng, this is the most suitable mental weapon for you. You absolutely must bid for this Divine Weapon!" Babata exclaimed excitedly.

As Gao Sheng looked through the batch, he saw many rare or top-quality Tier 5 weapons, but unfortunately, he didn't see the Ash God Weapon.

"This one?" Gao Sheng stared at one of the auction items.

"The Fire Disc, a fifth-tier flying weapon, is suitable for cultivators of the Fire-Space Law."

Xiao Ai said to Gao Sheng's shoulder, "Master, the Fire Disc, this one should suit you."

……

As time went by, each item was sold.

"The following items for auction are Divine Weapons! ... There are nine Divine Weapons in total. The nine highest bids will be awarded. Starting price—5000 billion Cosmic Coins!"

Luo Feng immediately entered a quote.

5500 billion...6000 billion...6600 billion...7000 billion...

Prices skyrocketed.

30000 billion... 30800 billion... 31000 billion...

Luo Feng's expression gradually turned ugly.

"Luo Feng, is this enough? If not, I can lend you some." Gao Sheng didn't know how much Luo Feng had gained in the Realm Within a Realm, or how much money he had now.

Luo Feng said, "It's alright, we don't need it for now."

……

"The ninth bid is 36150 trillion cosmic coins. Three seconds left... 3... 2... 1... Congratulations to the nine guests! You have become the owners of this 'Divine Weapon'!" the tortoise-shell elder announced loudly. "Let's continue. The next item for auction is..."

……

"The next item up for auction is the Fire-Separating Disc! As you all know, the Fire-Separating Disc is a weapon specifically designed for flight, suitable for Realm Lords who have comprehended the Laws of Fire and Space. Even if you are a martial artist, having it will bring about a qualitative change in your ability to fly and dodge! You can fight whenever you want and leave whenever you want..."

"There are twelve Fire Discs in total. The twelve highest bids will be awarded. The starting price is 1000 billion Cosmic Coins!"

Gao Sheng immediately placed a bid of 1200 billion on the token.

Luo Feng was somewhat tempted, but he wouldn't make a bid. The Fire Disc wasn't suitable for him; the fifth-tier flying weapon that applied the Law of Metal was called the Dark Cloud Shuttle.

3200 billion... 3500 billion... 4000 billion...

Prices rose rapidly, reaching 5000 billion in no time.

"Damn, so many people are competing for this?"

Xiao Ai said, "After all, this is a flying weapon. It can be used not only by mental cultivators but also by world lords who have comprehended the Law of Fire."

Soon, the price reached 6000 billion, and the upward trend gradually slowed down.

"It's just a flying weapon, after all. It's much easier to manufacture than a telekinetic weapon, so its value should be far less than the Nine Divine Weapons."

Gao Sheng angrily entered the price: 6430 billion.

"The twelfth bid is 6422 billion cosmic coins. Three seconds left... 3... 2... 1... Congratulations to the twelve guests! You have become the owners of this 'Fire Disc'!" the tortoise-shell elder announced loudly. "Let's continue, next item..."

……

"This is the fifth batch of auction items. On your auction tokens, you can see the 1000 items that will be auctioned next. If you see something you want to bid on, please get ready," said the old man in the tortoise shell.

Gao Sheng and Luo Feng both carefully examined the tokens in their hands.

"The fruit of life?" Gao Sheng smiled.

"The starting price for the Fruit of Life is 5000 billion cosmic coins. However, the Fruit of Life is essentially another life for a realm lord. Therefore, the price will be quite high! It will generally exceed two trillion, and if there are many competitors, the price may be even higher!" Babata said.

In fact, Gao Sheng understood that even three trillion cosmic coins, let alone two trillion, wouldn't be expensive; it would be much cheaper than buying directly, if one truly had the qualifications and authority to do so. The Cosmic Kingdom's primary auctions often featured items specially released by higher authorities, giving even realm lords without direct purchasing authority a chance to obtain them. The final transaction prices for many items were even lower than buying directly.

However, Gao Sheng still has two Life Fruits left, and he doesn't need them at all right now.

When it came time for the auction to reach the Fruit of Life, Luo Feng was making a bid.

"Luo Feng, why are you filming this?" Gao Sheng asked.

Luo Feng said, "Actually, this was bought for Brother Hong."

"If you really want it, I have some more, and I can sell them to you for a little less than the final price."

"Okay." Luo Feng stopped filming.

"Luo Feng, what does Hong need the Fruit of Life for? To cultivate the Cloud Vine? Are you crazy?" Babata said. "The best use of the Fruit of Life is not to cultivate plant life. Didn't you buy 200 Lanco Fruits? Give Hong 100. His Cloud Vine can take one Lanco Fruit every ten days, and in three years it can grow to the third or fourth level of the universe level. It's much better than swallowing the Fruit of Life all at once."

The final transaction price for a single Life Fruit reached 2.86 Mixed Yuan Units, a price that was definitely worthwhile for a Realm Lord.

The auction was held in five consecutive batches, each containing 1000 different items in varying quantities. The first day's auction lasted for five hours before being declared over.

The entire primary auction will last for ten days.

……

For the next eight days, Gao Sheng and Luo Feng came every day, but they only had a great time and didn't buy anything. Even if there were some things they wanted, the prices were too high...

On the tenth day, all five batches of items were auctioned off.

"All 50 batches of auction items, totaling 5 pieces, have been sold out," the old man in the tortoise shell announced with a hearty laugh. "Now we've reached the final climax of this auction—the auction of the final 100 items. Each item in this final auction is either unique or incredibly valuable, and every single one of them has a starting price of 0!"
