Chapter 951: Chapter 594: Failed Refining Hammer, Mi Yue

"However, the Nether Sea isn’t only filled with risks. Compared to its terrifying environment, the Nether Sea contains countless treasures, elixirs, secret books, which cannot be refined by our Longyuan World."

"If you can obtain something useful, even the Saint Lords of the Nine Great Sacred Lands would want to trade with you. And this Nether Sea Treasure Ship is the best way to avoid the Nether Sea’s erosion on martial artists. Especially since there is a Cave Mansion onboard to carry various helpers. Just watch, the bidding for this ship has only just begun, the true experts have yet to appear."

Master Wan Chong calmly explained the origins of the Nether Sea to Lu Lin, afterward, he listened to the endless bids from below, lost in his own thoughts.

But Lu Lin was shocked when he heard the bid reaching fifty million Star Stones.

Is this what they call just the beginning?

This is what they call the experts have yet to appear?

Previously, Lu Lin had accumulated roughly over a million Star Stones, all from guiding Star Skills for people. At that time, he thought he was quite wealthy, little did he know, his million meant nothing at the Refining Star Treasure Appreciation Conference.

"Eighty-three million."

"Eighty-four million."

After the bid reached eighty million, the rate of increase noticeably slowed down.

Such immense funds, even some dynasties have to empty their coffers to afford it, naturally eliminating many participants.

Leaving those martial artists hoping for a bargain disappointed and forced to give up.

"Haha, after competing for so long without breaking through a hundred million, let this old man cast the first stone."

"One hundred million Star Stones."

A martial artist sitting in a private room couldn’t help but bid out loud.

Though from just the voice, Lu Lin couldn’t determine the person’s age.

"One hundred and twenty million."

Shortly after the previous expert’s bid, a cold voice followed.

"One hundred and forty million."

"One hundred and fifty million."

The speed of bids exceeded Lu Lin’s imagination.

The process of reaching eighty million Star Stones took roughly a quarter of an hour, whereas now going from one billion to one hundred and fifty million took less than two minutes.

Are these big shots all so wealthy?

"Two hundred and ten million."

The price soon reached two hundred million Star Stones, Master Wan Chong sitting nearby couldn’t help but laugh, "At this price, it should be about right. A hundred years ago, Elder Ou Yang’s treasure ship went for two hundred and twenty million, this time it seems to break the record."

"Two hundred fifteen million."

"Two hundred eighteen million."

Clearly, martial artists who remembered the last Reward Treasure Conference, like Master Wan Chong, were very cautious at this point.

Hong Fu Shan, standing on the stage in charge of the auction, was all smiles.

This time, the creator of this treasure ship was just a novice refiner, though well-educated, highly capable, and a disciple of Master Ou Yang, before this, Cao Xiang was just an unknown man.

But after the Nether Sea Treasure Ship’s auction ended, Cao Xiang was bound to become a rising star at Refining Star Mountain.

"Fellow cultivators, the price has now reached two hundred thirty million Star Stones, is there a higher bid?"

"You must know this ship is inlaid with a precious Cave Mansion, accommodating thirty thousand people. Whether for seabed exploration or seeking treasure in the Dragon Palace, it can play a massive role."

"Even if you don’t use it after acquiring the ship, just using it as a passenger ship transporting martial artists for sea treasure hunting, the returns are substantial. Over time, the ship is practically free."

"Alright, VIP Room No. 11 bids two hundred thirty-nine million Star Stones, any higher bid?"

"Someone offers two hundred forty-two million."

After Hong Fu Mountain’s provocation, quite a few experts gritted their teeth and bid.

However, such bidding was bound to disrupt the upcoming auction plans of various forces. Some, although reluctant, had no choice but to give up.

Eventually, the Nether Sea Treasure Ship settled at a price of two hundred fifty-five million, breaking the auction record of the last conference.

For Refining Star Mountain, this is truly a great start.

Next, various Star Devices were displayed in front of the stage, sword weapons, armor shields, flying boats, palaces, Defense Arrays, anything related to refining was presented to everyone’s eyes.

Lu Lin was dazzled, among all the auction items, he coveted most the three flying boats capable of traversing the skies.

According to Hong Fu Mountain, these three flying boats are a level higher than mass-produced cloud-soaring flying boats, faster, with better defense and concealment, and the interior is more luxurious, completely usable as a cultivator’s space Cave Mansion.

However, the closing price for these three flying boats didn’t go below eighty million Star Stones, Lu Lin looked at his depleted wallet and had no choice but to give up.

"The next item is a rather special Refining Hammer, why do I call it special, please take a look."

Hong Fu Shan unveiled the silk cloth covering the exhibit, revealing the true form of the item inside.

"Strictly speaking, it’s a failure, a product of a whim by the refining new star Mi Yue."

"This Refining Hammer has numerous functions: hammering, striking, knocking, grinding, clamping, refining, coiling, wrapping... though the design is excellent, Mi Yue couldn’t use it after crafting."
