Chapter 938 Auction (4)



With this, the beautiful auctioneer waved her hand to the staff standing behind her and they took the curtain off the item being auctioned.

This curtain was a special item that would suppress the aura of the item, so people couldn’t use that to tell what it was.

The moment that the curtain was pulled off, the aura of this item spread across the entire room and everyone suddenly revealed a shocked look.

That was because they could feel the powerful aura that was coming from it.

This was definitely not a normal item.

The beautiful auctioneer could see the shocked looks that everyone had and secretly revealed a smile. This was the reaction that she was waiting for, this was what she wanted the crowd to feel before she gave her introduction.

Now it was time to put the nail in the coffin.

What had been revealed was a large chunk of wood, but it clearly wasn’t a normal piece of wood.

The beautiful auctioneer said in a slow and deliberate voice, “This piece of Ten Thousand Year Old Acacia Wood was found on a planet in the Frost Sector. It is a piece of wood that has absorbed a large amount of natural laws and is filled with natural energies.”

She didn’t say what the use of this piece of wood was, but everyone already knew since they could feel the powerful laws that it contained.

This feeling was even greater than the feeling that they had gotten from that Peak Sun Realm Artifact.

The only thing that could reach this level was Ruler level laws.

That meant that this piece of wood was actually a piece of material that could be used to create a Ruler Artifact.

While it wasn’t guaranteed that they would be able to craft a Ruler Artifact, just the opportunity to create one was more than enough for one to take a risk with this item. After all, it was impossible to get a chance to craft a Ruler Artifact normally since they were strictly controlled by the Lin Astral Family.

This Ten Thousand Year Old Acacia Wood being sold in this Forest Auction House was definitely a first, but no one doubted its authenticity.

Everyone knew that the Lin Astral Family was behind the Forest Auction House, so they knew that this was being sold with their permission.

As for why the Lin Astral Family would allow this to be sold, they didn’t have any clues?

But that didn’t matter to them as the most important thing was securing this item.

Even the young masters and young misses of the Lin Astral Family couldn’t help being shocked when they saw this.

They had never expected something like this to be auctioned off, but they were all filled with greed to obtain it. After all, this was a potential Ruler Artifact and if they were to bring it back, they had a very high chance of creating one.

They were from the Lin Astral Family and even if they were from a branch family, their families still had more than enough knowledge and skills to create a Ruler Artifact.

If they could bring this Ruler Artifact Embryo back to their family, then they would certainly be rewarded by them.

They knew that it was better to be rewarded than to have hopes of getting the Ruler Artifact for themselves. Even if they were to get the Ruler Artifact, they wouldn’t be able to use it in the end, so it was better to get a reward from the family.

𝗈𝑽𝑙xt.𝒸𝑶𝓂

But that was all on the basis of them being able to obtain it.

So all of them started looking at each other with hostility.

Even if they were all cousins, that didn’t mean that they were from the same branch family.

They had cooperated earlier since they had a common enemy in Lin Fan, but now that there was something that they all wanted placed between them, that alliance was destroyed in an instant.

It was just that kind of feeble alliance in the first place.

All of them started to secretly check just how much funds they had access to.

Once the beautiful auctioneer finished introducing this item, she started the bid without any hesitation. She knew that the preciousness of this item was more than enough for everyone to understand how great this item was and there wouldn’t be a problem raising the price.

As expected, as soon as the bidding started, there was a flurry of bids.

This was an item that excited the crowd and they completely lost themselves.

In the past bids, they had all turned to the VVIP room to check if there was an action from that room, but now…

They were so excited that they didn’t care about that at all and immediately started making their bids.

Even if they didn’t let their excitement carry them away, they still would have made a bid for it.

After all, this item was just too important to let slip away.

Even if it meant offending the people in the VVIP room, they would still have to get this item.

Ruler Artifact, this was a sign of absolute power in this Lin Astral Empire.

If they were able to get a Ruler Artifact, they would immediately become one of the most powerful forces in the entire Lin Astral Empire. That was how the main noble families under the Lin Astral Family received their position.

So this was a matter of the utmost importance for these lower tier nobles and merchants.

But before the price could get any higher, there was a voice that suddenly came from the VVIP room that said, “One thousand high grade spirit jades.”

When this bid was made, everyone in the auction hall fell silent.

Before this, the highest bid had only reached ten high grade spirit jades, but it was made in a bid of a thousand medium grade spirit jades.

For the price to suddenly jump up by a hundred times, there was no one in this auction hall that was able to keep up.

Even if they wanted to, it would mean selling everything that they had just to buy this Ruler Artifact Embryo and that wasn’t worth it to them. In addition to offending the person in the VVIP room, they would have to sell everything that they had to buy it.

If it failed to create a Ruler Artifact…then they would have nothing.

No one was willing to take this risk, especially since they didn’t have a way of guaranteeing that a Ruler Artifact could be made.

The only ones that could guarantee the formation of a Ruler Artifact was the Lin Astral Family since they were the only ones that had the technique and knowledge to do so. So no one else would be willing to take this risk.

After this high bid was made, everyone in the auction hall fell silent as they all couldn’t help cursing the person in the VVIP room under their breath.

Though all of them were angry, not a single one of them dared to show it on their faces.

There was nothing to gain from offending the people in the VVIP room after all.

Inside of the VVIP room, the atmosphere had completely changed.

Gone was the relaxed atmosphere from before, now there was a tense atmosphere between the young masters and young misses of the Lin Astral Family.

However, what everyone was doing now was staring at Lin Hong who had made that bid. Based on the expressions on their faces, it was as if they couldn’t believe that he had made this bid.

After all, none of them could understand how he had been able to get this much money.

As younger members of the Lin Astral Family, there was only a certain amount of money that they would have access to. However, in addition to this, they would also be allowed to start businesses and earn money that way as well.

But none of them had ever been able to earn this much money.

The base amount that they had access to was around a hundred high grade spirit jades, but those that were skilled in business were able to gather around two hundred high grade spirit jades.

No one had ever been able to gather an amount like this before.

So many of them were shocked that Lin Hong had been able to bid with this kind of amount.

After all, they knew that he wouldn’t joke around at this point, so he must have this amount if he was making the bid.

What they didn’t know was that Lin Hong had already secretly contacted Lin Tian before the bidding started.

Lin Hong was the one that Lin Tian cared about the most, so he had given him a special method of contacting him when there was something important. So as soon as Lin Hong contacted him, Lin Tian had already made the decision to fund him.

While it was impossible for Lin Tian to get a lot of money on a short notice, something like a thousand high grade spirit jades was easy for him since it could come out of his own personal account.

So he wasn’t worried that Lin Hong would be able to win this Ten Thousand Year Old Acacia Wood since it was impossible for anyone to match him.

It was just too bad that he didn’t know about what Lin Fan had done before, or he would have been worried.

The old pepper is the spiciest, this wasn’t a phrase that was used lightly.

Since Lin Fan had a single dragon vein crystal and he used it so easily, that would mean that he would have another, or maybe even more than that.

But Lin Fan didn’t make his bid right away.

Instead, he waited for the beautiful auctioneer to slowly count it out.

The beautiful auctioneer knew that this was a large amount for this item, but her experience and instincts told her that this wouldn’t be the end.

When someone usually confidently made a bid like this, the winds of change would usually come and someone would make a bigger bid.

It was almost a cliche at this point.

So she stalled out this bid for as long as possible to give this next bidder time to make a bid.

​ But Lin Hong didn’t know any of this.

While he didn’t know why the beautiful auctioneer was drawing it out, he didn’t mind since this allowed him to show off his superiority. While his cousins all had ugly expressions on their faces, he had a winning smile on his face.

As for who he was looking at, it was naturally Lin Fan.

He felt that he had made up for the blunder at the beginning of the auction and had now suppressed him.

So what if you had a dragon vein crystal before?

You’ve wasted it and now you can’t bid for this item, so aren’t you the fool?

But as he was thinking this, Lin Fan slowly raised his hand towards his armrest.

Seeing this, Lin Hong suddenly felt a trace of fear in his heart.

Then in front of his stiff smile, Lin Fan said, “One low grade dragon vein crystal.”
