"The ruins of the Three Kings?!"

"But what about those three prodigies from hundreds of thousands of years ago who reached the Integration Stage in less than a century?"

"The legacy left behind by a legendary supreme powerhouse of an era?"

A collective gasp filled the hall, and the previous hissing and skepticism vanished instantly.

Instead, they were met with burning gazes and rapid breathing.

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement, as many were aware of the significance of the Three Kings.

Hundreds of thousands of years ago, there were three exceptionally talented individuals who were considered the cream of the crop.

Their talents were unparalleled throughout history, and in less than a century they all reached the Integration Realm, sweeping across an era and being revered by later generations as the "Three Kings".

Anything they left behind, even a single piece of rubble, could contain unparalleled opportunities or earth-shattering secrets.

If this piece of iron truly came from the ruins of the Three Kings, then even if it now looks like just a piece of scrap metal, its potential value cannot be measured by ordinary spirit stones!

Hongyu was very satisfied with everyone's reaction and pressed on while the iron was hot.

"As you all have guessed. This item comes from the depths of the Three Kings' Ruins. Although its effects are unknown, its origin and indestructible nature alone make it worthy of in-depth study."

"Starting bid: 5,000 high-grade spirit stones; minimum increment: 1,000 spirit stones!"

Five thousand high-grade spirit stones

This price would deter most cultivators, but it is a relic of a supreme cultivator at the Integration Stage!

After a brief silence, someone immediately gritted their teeth and made a bid.

"Six thousand!"

"Eight thousand!"

"Ten thousand!"

Prices rose rapidly, with bidders mostly coming from the second-floor VIP rooms and some composed, independent cultivators, who were clearly quite wealthy and knowledgeable.

Inside the No. 1 private room.

Zhou Tian's originally lazy gaze sharpened slightly upon hearing "the relics of the three kings".

He put down his teacup, his Golden Eyes of Truth silently working.

My gaze pierced through the crystal wall and landed on that black iron sheet.

The rust and blurred patterns on the surface of the iron sheet gradually faded in his eyes.

An extremely ancient aura emanated from within the iron sheet.

This aura was so faint that it was almost imperceptible; if Zhou Tian hadn't possessed the Golden Eye of Truth, he probably would have missed it as well.

"That's interesting..."

Zhou Tian's lips curled into an interested smile.

This piece of iron is definitely not simple.

Xuefei, who was standing nearby, had been secretly observing Zhou Tian.

Seeing that Zhou Tian's gaze lingered on the iron sheet for a while, she couldn't help but ask softly.

"Senior, are you perhaps also interested in this item?"

Zhou Tian nodded without looking at her, and simply uttered two words.

"really."

At this moment, the price outside had already reached 28,000 high-grade spirit stones.

The bidder was a rogue cultivator in the late stage of the Golden Core realm with a hoarse voice. This price was already astronomical for an auction in Qingzhou City, and the hall became much quieter.

Zhou Tian spoke directly, his voice calmly resounding throughout the room through the sound transmission array.

Thirty thousand.

The voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable calmness.

The jump from 28,000 to 30,000 demonstrates a determination to succeed and substantial financial resources.

Everyone was startled upon hearing this, and they all turned their respectful gazes toward the No. 1 private room.

As expected of an unfathomable senior, he offered 30,000 high-grade spirit stones without batting an eye!

However, just as Hongyu was about to speak to confirm.

Another voice came from private room number three on the other side of the third floor.

It was equally calm, yet carried a subtle, almost imperceptible sharpness.

"fifty thousand."

Increase the price by 20,000!

Welcome to the fantastical world of fantasy novels! The entrance is here:

Zhou Tian raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

It seems he's not the only one who knows his stuff, and the other party also appears to be quite wealthy.

Zhou Tian spoke again: "Sixty thousand."

"One hundred thousand."

The sound from room number three followed immediately.

They raised prices again by a significant margin, pushing them to an astonishing level.

One hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones are enough to buy several decent high-grade Xuan-rank magic treasures.

Or is it possible to support a medium-sized family for decades just to buy a piece of iron for an unknown purpose?

The entire auction hall was so quiet you could hear a pin drop; everyone held their breath.

They all looked toward the No. 1 and No. 3 private rooms.

This is no longer a simple bidding war; it's more like an invisible contest between two big players.

Immediately afterwards, the cold female voice from room number three rang out again.

This time, his words carried a clear identity and a subtle sense of pressure.

"Your Excellency, I am Mo Li, an elder of the Sword Sect. This item is of great significance to our sect's research, and I hope you can give our sect some face."

"Sword Sect!"

"Is it the Sword Sect, a top-tier sect renowned for its swordsmanship?"

"I've heard that their sect leader is already a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, a powerful swordsman!"

"No wonder they're so wealthy and powerful, they're elders of the Myriad Swords Sect..."

A low murmur rippled through the hall, and many people looked at the top-tier VIP room with pity.

Within the territory of Qingzhou City, the name of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect was indeed renowned.

Ordinary cultivators, and even families and sects, would give him some face.

Inside the top-tier private room, Zhou Tian smiled, but there was no warmth in his smile.

Sword Sect?
