Death... and me

Chapter 2959: Bidding War



Chapter 2959: Bidding War

Roan felt the power of the Fragment with his Spiritual Sense and nodded. "There is no doubt. It is a Fragment, although it seems ridiculously weak."

Rean agreed with him. "It is indeed. It has pretty much no more Dark and Light Elements inside. Could this be because the Universe it came from is no more?"

"Maybe..." Roan didn't discard that possibility. "Or perhaps because the Werdlem Empire has been separated from the rest of the Great Void, it lost its connection with its own Universe... if such a thing is even possible. In any case, the Fragment isn't that valuable anymore."

Rean pondered a bit. With how feeble the power of the fragment was, it truly wouldn't be of much help to the twins. However, he changed his focus and tried to find something else. "Oh! It does indeed have almost no Light or Dark Elements, Yin Yang, or whatever. But... it does have one thing in abundance, something very useful for the two of us."

Roan narrowed his eyes and thought about it. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he changed the focus of his Spiritual Sense as well. "Well, would you look at that. It is indeed brimming with energy. Buy it, even if it means using all our Rank Five Spiritual Stones. How many did we use cultivating just now?"

Rean scratched the back of his head. "Almost a hundred. We have 907 remaining."

"Fuck, we shouldn't have used them," Roan still complained.

"There is no helping it. We never thought we would find such a thing in this mortal world. Let's hope we have enough," Rean sighed as he commented.

What the twins found in the Fragment was very simple, lots of Stellar Energy! Just like the fragments the twins acquired before, the Fragment was also bathed in Stellar Light for countless years, accumulating a huge amount of it. The other properties of the Fragment were pretty much useless now, but the Stellar Energy definitely made up for it.

Rean didn't make the first bid, though. Instead, he let it roll to see if anyone would make an offer.

However, many Spiritual Senses fell over the Fragment, and no one found it to be of any interest. The little bit of Light and Dark Element coming from it wasn't as good as some other items one could buy. The Yin Yang energies even less so.

Finally, when Fubei was about to give up and send the item back, two bids echoed at the same time.

"50 Rank Five Spiritual Stones!"

Rean immediately looked around, trying to find who made the same bid as him. However, it was pretty obvious it came from one of the Private Rooms, so he wouldn't be able to tell who it was. In the end, Rean's bid came a fraction of a second later than the previous one, so his opponent's bid was the bid that remained.

"60 Rank Five Spiritual Stones!" Rean didn't care, though. He simply bid again.

"70!" The other side continued

"80!" Rean didn't give up.

"200!" Yet, the other side seemed to lose its patience and bid 200 at once.

Rean snorted, though. "300!"

Everyone took a deep, cold breath. Was that small ore really worth all of it? Some people couldn't help but reevaluate that ore. More Spiritual Senses fell over the ore, but no one could see anything special about it. From the looks of it, Starlight Body cultivation was also quite a rare occurrence in this Universe. Perhaps even in the entire Werdlem Empire.

"400!"

"500!"

"600!"

"700!"

Rean gritted his teeth. Since it came to this, he might as well offer everything he had. "900!"

Different from Spiritual Stones, there was no such thing as Stellar Stones. The twins could get more Spiritual Stones later, but the same couldn't be said of the Stellar Energy. That was a slow process. Because of that, Rean and Roan still had a First Grade Stellar Body.

The auction house went silent for a while while Fubei waited for Rean's opponent to respond. It looked like a huge price was being offered, but that was only for those far below the Transition Realm. The Transition Realm experts watching the show didn't seem interested in the least. It would be like meddling in the kids' play.

Finally, Fubei began to speak. "900 Rank Five Spiritual Stones. Going once, going twice..."

"1000 Rank Five Spiritual Stones!"

Fubei faintly smiled. "1000 Rank Five Spiritual Stones. Going once, going twice... sold!"

Back in the twins' room, Rean sat down and sighed. "Well, I tried."

Roan didn't seem concerned, though. "Forget it. We can simply leave a little bit of our Spiritual Sense in the stone and try to steal it later."

Rean shook his head. "Our Spiritual Sense level is just too low. If the expert who bought the Fragment is someone at much higher cultivation, we might be committing suicide. Don't forget that 1000 Rank Five Spiritual Stones isn't something more Core and Soul Fusion Realm experts can pay. Anyone at the Saint Realm and above would definitely notice our Spiritual Sense in the stone."

Roan narrowed his eyes. He truly didn't want to give the Fragment up. "The inquisitor mentioned it was found in the Dark Ruins of the Robtel Country. Could there be more of it there?"

Rean shrugged. "Foundation Fragments lying around like that? I refuse to believe there are. Of course, it might be worth checking later."

Roan agreed and closed his eyes again. There were still many items to be sold. After all, there were even Transition Realm experts participating. No doubt there would be items worth Rank Six or maybe even Rank Seven Spiritual Stones.

The rest of the auction continued without any incidents. The Inquisitor was there, after all, so everyone was on their best behavior. In the end, the last item was a rare metal said to be from the Higher Realms. Rean checked it with his Spiritual Sense and confirmed it was indeed the case. In a mortal world, it was definitely a priceless treasure. However, in a Divine Realm, it was barely useful. It was sold for 1100 Rank Six Spiritual Stones, and the winner obviously was not disclosed.
