Walker Of The Blue Sky

Chapter 238: Ch 238: Putting A Weapon For Auction

The auctioneer’s voice cut through the noises inside the Gale Pavilion. "Starting bid for the Celestial Jade Tablet is set at 1 Trillion Credits. Every bid must bring an increase of 10 Billion Credits. Let the auction begin!"

Almost as soon as the auctioneer set the initial bid for the Celestial Jade Tablet, everyone started to raise the bid through the Bidding Device. The bid was increasing fast and in the blink of an eye, the Celestial Jade Tablet’s price had already reached a sky-high price of 2 Trillion Credits, and it was still increasing.

For a treasure that can manipulate time, 2 Trillion Credits are still too low of a price. Emrys suspected that it might surpass 10 Trillion Credits, and he was not wrong.

The bidding competition was fierce and in just a short ten minutes, the bid of Celestial Jade Tablet broke past the line of 10 Trillion Credits.

At this price range, there were not many people competing for this treasure. Only those from the royal family and families that could rival the royal families, and people with extremely high status in the Federation were now competing.

Emrys, having robbed the Great Flame Kingdom’s royal family and several big forces of their credit, only had about 15 Trillion Credits in his account. He felt like his money was not enough to buy the Celestial Jade Tablet.

It has to be known that the Celestial Jade Tablet was only the first item of today, the third day of the Grand Auction.

Who knows what kind of items may appear next?

What to do in such a situation?

After pondering for a few seconds, Emrys retrieved a sword from his storage. This sword was something he had acquired from a skeleton inside the mysterious space where the Arkhaven was concealed.

Compared to the weapons of the Infinite Soul Star, which predominantly rely on advanced technology, this sword was crafted purely through materials and weapon refinement techniques from the Qi Cultivation World. The surface of the sword was beautified with a formation that could easily boost the sword’s strength. Most importantly, the sword was purely fire-attributed and radiated a strong flame aura. The blade shimmered with a crimson glow and flames flickered along its edge.

Now that Emrys had already obtained the legacy of the Divine Weapon Craftsman of Chaos, he could easily see through the refinement process of this sword and the materials used in creating it.

Aside from side materials that only helped in the creation of this sword, two main materials that truly gave it its current strength, durability, and flame attribute were ’Blazing Dragonsteel’ and ’Vampiric Blood Crystal’.

In terms of grade, it could easily be classified as a B-3 Rank Weapon, that only Glowing Red Star Soul Masters are qualified to use.

The weapons and treasures are divided into several ranks in the Infinite Soul Stars and only specific Soul Masters could use specific ranked weapons.

The rank system starts from E-3, which is suitable for Ordinary Soul Apprentices. E-2 and E-1 ranked weapons and treasures are usable by Bronze and Silver Soul Masters, respectively. Next are D-3, D-2, and D-1 ranked treasures, which are designated for Secret Silver Soul Masters, Gold Soul Masters, and Brilliant Gold Soul Masters.

Following the D ranks, there are C-3, C-2, and C-1 ranked treasures, which are meant for Purple Crystal Soul Masters, Freezing Moon Soul Masters, and Blazing Sun Soul Masters.

After these come B-3, B-2, and B-1 ranked treasures, intended for Glowing Red Star Soul Masters, Glowing Blue Star Soul Masters, and Glowing Golden Star Soul Masters.

Finally, there are A-3, A-2, and A-1 ranked treasures for Mystical Mist Soul Masters, Celestial Spirit Soul Masters, and Eternal Sky Soul Masters.

Eternal Sky Soul Masters are the strongest beings in the entire universe, making A-1 ranked treasures the pinnacle of power and the highest grade of treasures within the universe.

Above A-1 grade are Empyrean Grade Weapons and Treasures, which have already surpassed the limits of this universe.

Everyone looked at Emrys in surprise, not expecting him to suddenly take out a marvelous weapon. Caruso and Laura’s eyes lit up when they saw this weapon. After all, both of them had Flame-attributed Soul Marks.

Before they could speak, Emrys disappeared without leaving behind a trace, shocking them a lot.

The next moment, Emrys appeared beside an elderly man in luxurious robes. The man was tall and thin and had a dignified presence. His white hair and the golden emblem on his chest showed his high status. This person was likely one of the main organizers of the Grand Auction.

Emrys had already detected this person’s presence two days ago. He was giving instructions to the auctioneer and other people responsible for overseeing the auction.

The elderly man seemed slightly startled by Emrys’s sudden appearance. However, he quickly regained his composure. He was not a weak person. He was already a Glowing Blue Star Soul Master and had experienced countless dangers in his thousands of years of life. He narrowed his eyes as he looked at Emrys.

"Who are you?"

The elderly man was calm and composed, but his heart was still trembling. Emrys’s presence was like that of a monster in his eyes.

"Don’t worry, I’m not here to cause trouble. I need some help," Emrys could feel the elderly man’s emotions, so he chose to show him a harmless smile. This helped the elderly man’s trembling heart to regain peace again.

"How can I help you?" the elderly man asked while hiding his surprise. His voice was steady, but there was a hint of curiosity in his tone.

"I would like to add an item for the auction," Emrys said nonchalantly, not bothering to elaborate further. There was no need for him to explain that despite once feeling wealthy with his abundance of Credits, he now realized he might not have as much as he thought.

While speaking, he lifted the sword. The sword’s crimson glow immediately drew the gaze of the elderly man.

The elderly man’s eyes widened when he saw the sword. He could sense the powerful flame aura radiating from it. "This is... an extraordinary weapon. May I inspect it more closely?"

"Sure."

Emrys nodded and handed the sword over. The elderly man carefully held the sword in his hands, studying every detail. After a few moments, he looked back at Emrys with a hint of admiration in his gaze.

"This weapon... Although it is a B-3 rank weapon, in terms of lethality and durability, it can rival that of a B-2 rank weapon. The crafting technique is something I’ve never seen before. It is not crafted through technology but purely through years of hand experience and some kind of ancient technique. It’s extremely well-crafted and possesses a potent fire attribute. Such a weapon will definitely attract the interest of many powerful Soul Masters in the auction."

Emrys simply nodded, showing no surprise at the man’s evaluation. "I want to auction it. Make sure it’s placed at a reasonable starting bid."

The elderly man thought for a moment before nodding. "Very well, I’ll have it added as one of today’s items. The starting bid will be set at 400 Billion Credits."

"Agreed," Emrys said without hesitation. He then glanced around the auction hall. "I’ll leave the arrangements to you."

"Rest assured, I’ll take care of everything," the elderly man promised.

Emrys disappeared again, reappearing inside the compartment.

As for the elderly man, he looked deeply at the position where Emrys disappeared, took a deep breath, and walked away to make the necessary preparations.

On the other hand, when Emrys reappeared inside his compartment, Caruso and Laura looked at him curiously, wondering what he was up to.

"Where did you just go?" Laura asked curiously. After spending two days together, they’ve already gotten slightly closer to Emrys and dared to ask him some questions without losing their composer.

"I put that sword for the auction," Emrys answered casually. Then he took the Bidding Device from Caruso and noticed that the bid for the Celestial Jade Tablet had already reached 10 Trillion Credits.

Emrys was not surprised, for he had already expected this result. After all, the Celestial Jade Tablet is something that can manipulate time, and time cannot be bought with just money. Even 100 trillions are less for a treasure like the Celestial Jade Tablet.

Not to mention, Credits have no real value in other words. Credits can only be used in the Infinite Soul Star.

Thinking for a few seconds, Emrys directly raised the bid by 1 Trillion Credits, shocking the crowd.

No one knew who raised the bid by 1 Trillion Credits, but all of them knew that this person was determined to buy the Celestial Jade Tablet no matter how high the price he had to pay.

But... Isn’t everyone the same?

This auction house may lack something but not rich people.

Emrys’s action was akin to igniting a small flame in a dry forest that rapidly escalated into an uncontrollable blaze. The fire spread so swiftly that it became nearly impossible to control.

The bid for the Celestial Jade Tablet started to rise by 1 Trillion Credits instead of 10 Billion, resulting in the price skyrocketing once again, reaching 20 Trillion Credits in the shortest time possible.

By now, although several people still wanted to continue, they had no choice but to give up the bid for the tablet because there were still many treasures yet to be auctioned.
