Age of Evolution

Chapter 632: Chapter 634: Auction

The Auction House of the World ranks among the top auction houses in the entire Original World, alongside the Endless Star Sea Auction House and the Unique Auction House, forming the top three auction houses.

An auction house itself is a business, where almost anything you want can be bought. Auctions are held only when rare and precious items appear.

Lin Zhen’s access allowed him to check the items to be auctioned at the auction house, which could attract customers.

White Tiger Blood was just a starting item here, and while the Four Spirits Blood was a good item, it was not too rare.

“Huh~! There’s actually an ancient alchemy recipe!”

A picture caught Lin Zhen’s eye, and it was a Dan prescription.

In the Original World, the prescriptions for elixirs were basically public, and it was a matter of who could make them. However, some unique prescriptions were exclusive, and alchemists did not spread them to protect their interests. These prescriptions were very valuable.

This prescription had appeared in the auction house, found from some mysterious ancient ruins.

This would definitely attract a large number of alchemists to buy, and as an alchemist, Lin Zhen was naturally tempted.

“I don’t know what it specifically is, but since it’s unique, it’s worth buying.”

With the prescription locked in his mind, Lin Zhen continued browsing the items.

The items that appeared here included cultivation techniques, treasures, treasure maps, opportunities in various forbidden areas, and even stunning beauty.

After looking for a while, Lin Zhen felt that he wanted many of these items.

Finally, Lin Zhen saw a special auction item.

An ancient cultivation technique, Star Fall Five Skill!

This was a set of lethal skills, a cultivation method with a total of five techniques, namely Meteor Fall, Comet Fall, Satellite Fall, Planet Fall, Constant Star Fall.

Once mastered, each strike would possess the power of a real falling star.

For example, with Planet Fall, once mastered, a casual strike could bring down a real planet.

“A destructive martial skill like this is exactly what I need, and if I master the Constant Star Fall, I could probably even fight against Longevity Warriors!”

Even Longevity Warriors dared not face the direct bombardment of a Constant Star.

However, having seen the price on the official website, this item might start at 3 billion!

Lin Zhen calculated his cash on hand, which was now 110 billion. It was not enough to guarantee his success at the auction house.

The White Tiger Blood would probably cost a hundred million, and the ancient alchemy recipe and Star Fall Five Skill were worth tens of billions, or even hundreds of billions. It would be considered good if he could win one with full effort.

“The ancient alchemy recipe can help me make more money, while the Star Fall Five Skill will greatly increase my strength. Both have pros and cons, making it difficult to choose.”

“Unless my money doubles, there might still be hope.”

Lin Zhen searched around in his Dark Star Space and Space Ring, hoping to find something he could sell.

His four-year stockpile of elixirs had been mostly consumed. The value of all elixirs combined wouldn’t exceed 30 billion, and that was only because he had been refining them like crazy lately.

But besides the elixirs, Lin Zhen realized that he didn’t have anything else worth selling.

Apart from what he brought from the New World that was still edible, everything else had become trash, like those technological products, spaceships, Cosmic Crystals, which were all piled up like waste in his Dark Star Space.

“Hm…what’s this book?”

Just when Lin Zhen had almost given up hope, he suddenly noticed a book.

Taiyuan Sword Skill!

This sword skill was acquired by Lin Zhen from the New World and hadn’t come in handy yet.

At that time, he didn’t know the origin of this sword skill, but now he did—this sword skill came from the Original World’s secret technique, and it should be a very good secret technique.

Looking at the Taiyuan Sword Skill, Lin Zhen felt a bit of a pity. Now his avatar was using a sword, and after inheriting Hua Hua Taisui’s memories, Lin Zhen’s understanding of sword skills had greatly increased. Now he was no longer tied to weapons, and both spears and swords became his weapons.

However, Hua Hua Taisui was also proficient in the Original World’s sword skills, so the Taiyuan Sword Skill in his hand seemed a bit redundant.

“Fine! Sell this sword skill and hope it fetches me a good price.”

Making up his mind, Lin Zhen directly contacted the Auction House of the World.

In the Dimensional Universe, a manager from the auction house met with Lin Zhen in a room. After exchanging pleasantries, they got down to business.

The auction house staff were very knowledgeable. They studied the Taiyuan Sword Skill for a while and then gave Lin Zhen some information.

This Taiyuan Sword Skill originated from a Longevity Realm expert and was a unique secret technique.

Sword skill secret techniques were always popular, especially those of Longevity Experts, which were even more valuable. The auction house staff conservatively estimated that this secret technique could sell for 50 billion, with a starting price set at 20 billion. They asked Lin Zhen if he agreed.

From this point of view, the price of this secret technique was not much different from the Star Fall Five Skill, so Lin Zhen nodded in agreement.

After consigning the item to the auction house, Lin Zhen continued his alchemy.

With three days left, he needed to accumulate wealth as much as possible. One should never miss out on good opportunities because of a lack of money.

Apart from leaving himself enough advancement pills, Lin Zhen put all the remaining elixirs on the shelves!

Within three days, Lin Zhen’s wealth continued to increase rapidly under his crazy work. By the night of the third day, all his elixirs were sold out, and his wealth accumulated to 150 billion!

“That should be enough. The auction begins tomorrow morning, so I should stop now.”

Lin Zhen stretched his muscles and felt that the medicinal effects within him had been completely dissolved, so he could advance once again.

After swallowing the pre-prepared Star System Stage Juyuan Powder, Lin Zhen made another breakthrough once the effectiveness of the pill was digested, reaching Tier Nine Star System!

The Star Power of 900,000 was once again increased, reaching 970,000!

Lin Zhen was very satisfied with his Star Power. It had only been a little over five years since he arrived in the Original World, and he had already advanced to Tier Nine Star System. Another breakthrough would make him a Domain King.

It could be said that the experience of being trapped for 700 years had finally been somewhat compensated for.

The Black Hole Beast’s devouring talent was indeed an extraordinarily powerful ability.

He sat quietly in the room, calming down his inner realm that had just been advanced, and waited for the start of the auction.

*********

Early the next morning, Lin Zhen tidied up his clothes and walked out of Auction House of the World with Lin Feng.

His main body went out, and his clone was still working crazily inside the Alchemist Guild. That was the advantage of having a clone.

They rode a Dapeng bird and arrived in front of the Auction House of the World.

The auction started at 8 o’clock, and it was 7:40 now, so everyone was entering the venue.

Not only could this auction be attended in person, but one could also participate in the Dimensional Universe. However, Lin Zhen wanted to see the site in person because there were some things in the Dimensional Universe that were not quite as realistic.

“Welcome, Elder Lin Zhen! It’s an honor to meet you!”

The manager at the door greeted him with a friendly attitude and a smile, bending over to salute Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen nodded slightly and entered the auction house, guided by the attendant. His seat was on the left side, slightly towards the back.

Although being a Fifth Grade Alchemist was already a noble status, there were no ordinary people attending this auction. Therefore, Lin Zhen’s identity was not particularly outstanding.

He sat down in his seat, and each guest was equipped with two small seats behind them, prepared for attendants. Lin Feng, who was gradually entering the role of an attendant, consciously sat behind Lin Zhen.

Whenever a high-profile person arrived, the manager would announce it loudly, welcoming the person’s arrival.

Those who could be considered high-profile people here were either the dignitaries or Longevity Warriors.

“President of the Xianle County Elixir Association, Mr. Gu Yunting, has arrived!”

Lin Zhen suddenly opened his eyes on hearing this and saw Gu Yunting walk in from the outside, talking, and laughing with people around him, all the way to the front row.

As Gu Yunting passed by Lin Zhen, Lin Zhen felt Gu’s sidelong glance at him, revealing a hint of mockery.

Lin Zhen thought that Gu Yunting would take action against him early on, but there was no movement for a long time. However, Lin Zhen never relaxed his vigilance, since Gu Yunting might be planning something. Lin Zhen didn’t believe that Gu would let it go so easily.

As more people took their seats, the auction house, with hundreds of seats, quickly filled up.

A man dressed in a white suit stepped onto the stage as the host, and the lights brightened.

“I am honored to gather with all the distinguished guests at the Auction House of the World. My name is Wu Dongliang, and I hope everyone will have some gains tonight and leave with satisfaction!”

After a simple opening remark, the first auction item appeared on the stage.

“First, let me show you a kind of medicine that many Alchemists like, one of the Four Spirits Blood, White Tiger Blood. Its effectiveness is very well-known, and its use is widespread. The price of this bottle of White Tiger Blood is 50 million, and each bid represents an increase of 10 million. Let’s begin now!”

Under the light, a bottle of blood was contained within a crystal vial.

This was an item Lin Zhen had to obtain as it was essential to unseal the first Divine Needle.

Seeing the appearance of White Tiger Blood, many Alchemists and Medicinal Material merchants in the audience became restless, and people raising their bids were emerging one after another.

However, Lin Zhen didn’t make a move immediately. He was observing his opponents to see who had the strength to compete with him.

He didn’t care about the other Alchemists and Medicinal Material merchants, as they wouldn’t engage in loss-making deals. Once the price exceeded the normal range, they would give up.

However, Lin Zhen suspected that Gu Yunting might not let him get the item that easily.

His gaze turned to Gu Yunting, but the man hadn’t made a move, seeming uninterested in the White Tiger Blood.

“No matter, if you don’t act, then I won’t be polite. I must get this bottle of White Tiger Blood.”

By now, the price on the scene had been called to 120 million. The normal price of White Tiger Blood was around 150 million, so those with the mentality of picking up bargains had already backed off.

“200 million!”

Lin Zhen’s first bid immediately quieted the scene.
