A full five hundred thousand Purple Twilight Coins! And all that was exchanged for a sword...
And the Grand Elder even said, "It's just five hundred thousand."
Oh... I truly can't tolerate this! This is hardly "just five hundred thousand"! It's five hundred thousand Purple Twilight Coins! That translates to five hundred trillion... Shuiyun Coins!
This astronomical figure could sustain the entire Snow Mountain Sect, along with all its families, all industries in the world, and all expenses, including the spiritual medicine used for cultivation... for a whole year!
Chu Yang maintained a calm demeanor on the surface, as the auction proceeds weren’t his, but belonged to some mysterious buyer. However, inside, he was brimming with joy, because that mysterious buyer was none other than me, Young Master Chu!
Still, Young Master Chu genuinely did not expect that this sword would eventually sell for a sky-high price of five hundred thousand Purple Twilight Coins.
In his mind, he believed that reaching two hundred thousand Purple Twilight Coins would be the limit, and he would be extremely satisfied with that.
After all, the last time a heavenly level weapon was auctioned, it sold for only three hundred thousand Purple Cloud Coins, and the difference between Purple Cloud Coins and Purple Twilight Coins is not just a matter of how much they differ, but how many times they differ!
It truly is a case of foolish people spending their money!
In fact, the reason for such a sky-high price included something that Chu Yang had overlooked: his previous words had created a subtle effect.
At this moment, everyone present believed that this sword and its treasures were specially brought forth by a senior to enhance the strength of Eastern Sovereign Heaven. This itself was a significant favor!
Moreover, initially, there was no set starting bid.
Thus, these people consciously raised the price: they couldn't let that senior suffer a loss, right? And indeed, this sword was worth it! That’s how it continued, leading to Chu Yang achieving this unprecedented high price.
While it was certainly worth the money, there were many other thoughts involved!
If Chu Yang had realized this, he would surely be amazed at how a stroke of luck had produced such miraculous effects! It truly seems fate is on my side; even the auction could yield a heavenly price!
Next up was the second auction item—the peerless blade at the saint level pinnacle began bidding.
Once again, it started without a minimum price.
However, this time, the participants were noticeably fewer. After all, in the Nine Heavens Pavilion, swords were generally more common, while knife users were relatively rare.
Yet because of this scarcity, those martial artists who came here with their knives were all proficient practitioners, and each one was determined to win!
Swords are agile, and generally speaking, if a saint level martial artist wields a heavenly level sword, they can unleash their strongest power; but knives are different!
Knives are easy to learn but hard to master! They have always been referred to as the "king of weapons." Thus, knife users have extremely high standards for the quality of their knives.
For a knife user, a lifelong wish is to possess a divine knife.
Especially with this knife being an unclaimed one, it means that whoever obtains it can nurture it with their heart and soul, and after reaching a certain point, its quality will be able to improve along with their own progress!
If one is at the celestial level, then the knife becomes celestial level!
This is the complete unity of man and blade.
Such value is immeasurable!
In this round of bidding, there were only three competitors!
But the competition was fierce enough to make one’s heart race.
These three individuals were all significant figures in the world!
Each one was an expert in wielding knives.
This even left Duan Cangkong, who was originally dissatisfied with Chu Yang auctioning such a treasure, a bit stunned.
Because any one of these three was above him, no, comparing himself to them was a luxury!
