Chapter 74 Auction
For the next three years, Lin Yi in Chaos City received and saw off a constant stream of guests who came to visit him.
On this day, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom sent a message—the first auction hosted by Huaxia Trading Company would begin in three days.
A year ago, Qi Yun reported to him that in order to enhance the reputation of Huaxia Trading Company, a grand auction would be held. In addition to auctioning the rare items that Lin Yi drew from the card draw, Lin Yi would also bring out a 'Bodhi Leaf' as the final item.
Of course, there's now an even better choice for the grand finale item—the Reversal Pill!
……
The auction was held as scheduled in the virtual universe. In order to support Huaxia Trading Company, Lin Yi used his personal guard command authority to specially open up a special space continent here, an auction venue that could accommodate 10 billion people.
The auction has no entry requirements and consists of one main venue and 100 sub-venues.
The sub-venues cover the resources needed by powerhouses at the Eternal Star level—World Lord level, including weapons and equipment, special treasures, recovery resources, cultivation techniques, and more…
The main venue primarily serves resources for immortals, even those who have been granted the title of King Immortal or the Supreme Being of the Universe.
Of course, the hundreds of cosmic venerables who came were skeptical. They didn't really believe that this suddenly appearing Chinese trading company had venerable-level resources to auction, and that they were just there to give Lin Yi face and show their support.
Beside the dining table in the Venerable Hall.
Lin Yi and the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom walked to the dining table. There were already two other Universe Venerables at the table: Nine Swords Venerable and Barbarian Axe King Immortal.
Manfu is quite special. Although he is an immortal god, he possesses invincible strength and is comparable to a cosmic venerable. Therefore, he is able to come to the Venerable Hall.
He has fought against alien cosmic venerables many times and is very powerful.
What makes him special is that he is an immortal being from a secret realm. It is said that if it weren't for his identity as a human from a secret realm limiting his potential, he would have already broken through to the Venerable level if he were a human from a cosmic kingdom.
"Commander Lin Yi."
"Lin Yi".
Seeing Lin Yi and Qian Wu approaching, the Immortal Barbarian Axe and the Nine Swords Venerable stood up to greet them.
As for the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom, he was only acquainted with these two. Moreover, Manfu and Jiujian were quite wary of Qianwu's status as the "Universe's Number One Negative Person" and were not enthusiastic, only nodding.
The four sat down, and Lin Yi chatted with them.
"Commander Lin Yi, is the 'Bodhi Leaf' really going to start at one level of treasure points at this auction?" Immortal Barbarian Axe asked impatiently.
He got to know Lin Yi through the Nine Swords Venerable. He came to this auction mainly for the Bodhi Leaf. The Bodhi Leaf can enhance talent potential and is the most valued treasure for immortals like the Savage Axe who have exhausted their potential.
Before Lin Yi could speak, the King of Qianwu Kingdom laughed.
"Barbarian Axe, it's all written in the announcement information. The starting price for Bodhi Leaf is 1 Treasure Point."
"But I advise you not to be delusional and think you can take it by just a few treasure spots. Look around, you're not the only one eyeing the Bodhi Leaf."
"Even with Nine Swords' support, I don't think you have a good chance of winning the bid."
The words of the Qianwu Kingdom Lord were like a bucket of cold water poured on the head of the barbarian axe. He glanced around the hall, which covered an area of over a hundred square kilometers. Beside the hundred or so Universe Venerables, a considerable number of those at the limit of the King level and those at the invincible and immortal level stood.
Clearly, they all came for the Bodhi leaf.
The Barbarian Axe Venerable was disheartened, but the King of Qianwu Kingdom was in a good mood.
He controls 20% of the profits of the Huaxia Trading Company within Qianwu territory, and he can get 20% of the proceeds from this auction.
Although the auction revenue is only a 3% commission on the auctioned items, even if the Bodhi Leaf is auctioned for 100 Treasure Points, he will only receive 0.6 Treasure Points. But it's still a good start, isn't it?
……
The four of them drank and chatted.
The auction has begun.
An immortal fox-person with three fluffy white tails trailing behind him stepped onto the stage. This was the work of the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom. The person who came was an immortal powerhouse from the Qianwu Holy Land named Alisi.
With a polite smile, Alis crisply announced the start of the auction.
"Esteemed powerful figures, the inaugural auction of the Huaxia Trading Company is now officially open!"
As Alis finished speaking, the auctions in the 100 surrounding sub-venues outside the main venue began simultaneously.
"Comprehension Advancement Pill + Bloodline Evolution Pill, auctioned together, starting bid 100 Hunyuan."
"100 Mixed Yuan?"
Those seated on the first floor of the main venue were all powerhouses above the Immortal level, while those seated on the second floor were Universe Venerables like the Nine Swords Venerable and King-level Immortals.
The second floor was alright; the powerful beings at the Universe Venerable level didn't even consider this level of Hunyuan a threat.
However, the immortals on the first floor were quite agitated, especially the large number of military lord immortals sitting in the back row.
100 Hunyuan is a considerable sum for them.
The killing moves they prepared for themselves were mostly only a few hundred or a thousand mixed-elemental attacks.
The starting bid is now 100 units of Hunyuan, which is simply astonishing.
Faced with the noisy scene, Alius demonstrated excellent control of the situation, suppressing his emotions with just one sentence.
"Using the Comprehension Advancement Pill and the Bloodline Evolution Pill together can allow a Realm Lord to stably break through to Immortality, cultivate to the potential of becoming a Marquis-level Immortal, and even qualify for the title of King!"
hiss~!
With just one sentence, the entire room fell silent instantly.
These two tiny pills are enough to enable a realm lord to break through to immortality, cultivate to the rank of marquis, and even attempt to become a king.
The effect is a bit too exaggerated.
Even among the four top races, the immortal gods who have been granted the title of King are definitely a core force. The Hong Alliance, which includes all the immortal gods in the human camp, only has 3 million immortal gods. If you take the human immortal gods out of the picture, there are only a mere 100,000.
This is the pinnacle of the human race! 10 kings, minus the kings from the five major powers like the Virtual Universe Company, if evenly distributed among 1008 universe nations, that's barely a handful per universe nation.
After the initial shock, voices of doubt emerged.
This situation was expected, and Alius remained calm, reciting the same explanation he had confirmed with Lin Yi.
"As long as you use two pills under the monitoring of the Virtual Universe Company and cultivate normally for 100 million years, if you still don't meet the conditions to break through to immortality, you can get a full refund from my Huaxia Trading Company. This is endorsed by both Commander Lin Yi of the Imperial Guard and the King of Qianwu Universe Kingdom!"
"If it doesn't achieve immortality within a million years, a full refund?"
"This Huaxia Trading Company is really boastful!"
"Of course it's huge! Don't you see who's standing behind it? The personal guard commander of the Universe King and the Chaos City Lord! Do you think they'd lie to us for a little bit of Chaos Essence?"
"200 Chaos Yuan!"
Having figured out the connections, quite a few people have already started making offers.
"500 Chaos Yuan!"
"1000 Chaos Yuan!"
The allure of being granted titles of nobility or kingship is fatal to the immortal realm lords and military commanders.
Many people have already begun contacting intelligent life forms to sell off their resources and treasures.
The wealth of an immortal military lord is usually around 10000 Hunyuan, which includes treasures, mounts, and a series of other resources.
Having several hundred yuan in actual liquid funds is already considered a lot.
