I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property

Chapter 1693 1697: The First Grand Finale Item

"This bastard!" Many people glared angrily at Zhang Menglong. If not for the fact that no information about Zhang Menglong could be found in this virtual world, it is estimated that within a few minutes, there would be a thousand people wanting to tear him apart.

"What should we do?"

"What do you mean 'what should we do'? This elixir hasn't been seen for hundreds of years, and unexpectedly, this auction started with such a powerful elixir."

"I can't gather that much money in such a short time."

"Hurry up, sell whatever you can. If the warm-up items are this impressive, there must be a lot of good stuff to come. Even if we go bankrupt today, we must get a few Saint Grade Elixirs!"

...

"152 billion!" Finally, someone began to increase the bid. This was someone who did not hide their identity. His stature was very burly, and an aura that had long been in high positions emanated from him.

"Do you know this person?" Zhang Menglong asked Black Mist and Black Shadow, who accompanied him into the virtual auction house.

"This is one of the Three Titans, Lord Xichen," Black Mist said. "He was also one of the earliest to come to the Skyless Realm. Before the Skyless Realm had even formed, he was a Divine Cultivator at the Ninth Grade. Now it is estimated that he is exploring how to break through the Divine Cultivation Realm. This elixir is very significant to him, and he is also the largest shareholder of No Sky Bank!"

"Indeed, a big fish," Zhang Menglong looked at Xichen as if he were admiring a beautiful woman. "This guy must have a lot of money, right?"

"That we don't know, but Lord Xichen's assets are definitely ranked in the top three in the entire Skyless Realm, possessing a fortune of five to six trillion Divine Crystals!"

"He better have it!" Zhang Menglong wasn't afraid of how powerful they were, just worried that they weren't rich enough.

"154 billion!" Another person shouted out a price.

"Boss, this is another titan, Yun Cangzi. Not only is he a Divine Cultivator at Ninth Grade, but he is also a highly accomplished Array Master. If he prepares in advance, he is definitely the strongest in the Skyless Realm, bar none, even Lord Xichen has to bow down to him."

"Why would such a powerful Array Master come here?" Zhang Menglong asked curiously.

"I'm not entirely sure, but rumors say it's because he betrayed his master for an Array Mysticism scroll and fled here from a very distant place."

"160 billion!" Another person seated in the front row spoke up. Compared to Xichen's brawniness and Yun Cangzi's mysterious air of a reclusive expert, this person seemed less noteworthy.

"Could this person be the last titan?"

"That's right; he is the leader of the largest assassin organization in the Skyless Realm. No one knows his real name, or if the appearance he shows is his true face. But all the assassins under him are elites, personally trained by him, and their hiring prices are several times higher than those of bodyguards."

"Interesting," Zhang Menglong's face lit up with a smile. He was particularly attracted to mysterious people like this.

This auction for the elixir had almost become a competition exclusively between these three people. Actually, none of them wanted to give it up. But once this elixir was bought, they would essentially be giving up the Universe Ring Pill competition.

...

"Congratulations to Lord Xichen for acquiring this precious elixir at the price of 182 billion!"

After a few minutes of tug-of-war, it was finally Lord Xichen, the wealthiest among them, who won the auction for the elixir.

Although there was a look of pain on his face, it couldn't hide his excitement.

"If it were Lord Xichen who got it, he would still have room to compete afterward," Black Mist said. "After all, he is probably the richest person in the entire Skyless Realm."

With the sale of this prestigious elixir, the atmosphere of the auction immediately reached a climax. After all, never before had the first item in an auction sold for such an astonishing price.

The auction continued to progress fervently. Anything that made it here had a minimum price of over one billion Divine Crystals. However, having seen the staggering amount of over 180 billion just a moment ago, everything else seemed overshadowed.

"Congratulations to this gentleman for acquiring the Beast Blood Fervor Pill at the price of 68 billion Divine Crystals!"

...

"Congratulations on successfully acquiring the King's Absolute Pill for 82 billion Divine Crystals!"

...

Zhang Menglong's elixirs were being sold among all the auction items, becoming practically an elixir exclusive event. However, everyone was still eager, as each elixir was extremely rare. Even without the qualification to participate in the bidding, just watching was already a great delight.

The 27 giants who came with massive funds never expected so many advanced elixirs to appear at this auction. The money they brought wasn't nearly enough to buy everything, and the last elixirs yet to come out left them hesitant, while the royalty and nobility of nearby empires managed to snatch some bargains.

Of course, the final transaction prices still exceeded Rian's estimation. All funds and goods after the auction were immediately transacted, and after deducting service fees, Zhang Menglong's money directly entered his account, and he casually upgraded his citizenship level to Level 1.

"Next, the following auction item," as the auction gradually drew to a close, everyone's breathing grew rapid, estimating that the Universe Ring Pill was about to appear.

"The first grand finale auction item!"

"The first grand finale?" The entire auction hall echoed with puzzled voices. What's going on? Wasn't there supposed to be only one grand finale item, the Universe Ring Pill? Could there possibly be something else comparable to it?

Even Zhang Menglong couldn't help but perk up his ears. Among his elixirs, the value of this Universe Ring Pill stood head and shoulders above the rest, and there shouldn't be anything else with similar worth. This implied that there was something else at this auction nearly as valuable as his elixir!

This immediately piqued Zhang Menglong's strong interest. Anything comparable to the Universe Ring Pill would certainly be a top-level treasure.

"This auction item was also temporarily consigned to our Black Rock Auction House," the auctioneer said. "All of you are quite fortunate today to witness such powerful treasures in a single day. This item was found by a seller in a very special place. We don't even know what it's called, but I believe its efficacy will astonish everyone!"

The auctioneer brought out something that looked like a scroll. The scroll was about two meters long and approximately forty centimeters wide, and on its surface was an altar-like scene with a person in the center, surrounded by thousands who seemed to be followers of this individual.

"Selling a painting? What's going on here? Could a painting possibly compare to a Saint Grade Elixir?"

"What's so special about this painting? If it was painted by someone surpassing the Divine Cultivation Realm, maybe it has some insight to offer."

"Hurry and explain!"

The auctioneer smiled but remained silent. She took out a red Crystal Stone, a higher-grade crystalline product refined from Divine Crystals, with one red Crystal Stone equaling the value of about ten million ordinary Divine Crystals.

She placed this red Crystal Stone into the painting, and the painting absorbed the red Divine Crystal directly. With a flash of light, a character in the painting materialized before them!

"Divine Cultivator at First-grade! This thing can consume Divine Crystals to create a Divine Cultivator at First-grade?"

"This thing is intriguing, but it can't compare to those elixirs!"

"Please stay calm," the auctioneer said. "Our tests show that the more Divine Crystals you invest, the stronger the summoned warrior. As for its limit, we're unsure due to the high cost involved, but according to the seller, with enough money, it can even summon beings surpassing Divine Cultivation Realm!"

"Bullshit! Who would buy it untested!"

"Exactly, that would be foolish!"

The audience erupted into sounds of skepticism.

Yet, the female auctioneer paid no mind. She smiled slightly, "This auction item's starting price is 200 billion Divine Crystals!"
