Cultivating Through The Game-Chapter 691 - 367: Kunpeng Feather, Sea Eye_3
The bidding speed increased slightly, one person bid followed immediately by another, and soon it went from three people competing to two, with the price reaching 50 million Spirit Stones.
"53 million."
Faced with this price, both sides remained silent for a moment, ready to seize the Kunpeng Feather in one go.
Lu Yu pondered for a long time, eventually deciding to go all in.
He would bid just once, and if he couldn't secure it, it would mean it wasn't meant for him, and he was not inclined to compete further.
He pressed the bidding button and said calmly, "60 million."
"60 million."
Lu Yu's calm voice echoed throughout the hall, and everyone's eyes turned red; sixty million Spirit Stones piled together would form a small mountain.
Moreover, Lu Yu's voice sounded so calm, exuding an air of indifference.
The crowd in the hall boiled with excitement, but those in the VIP rooms became quiet.
They also sensed the calmness in this person's words, as if coming up with sixty million Spirit Stones was as easy as sprinkling water.
They also wondered if a new competitor would emerge.
They had thought that once they defeated their competitors, they would secure the Kunpeng Feather, only to have someone unexpectedly bid again.
This made them feel like potential competitors were endless, surveying the VIP rooms around them as though every room might bid again and join the competition.
Thinking of this, they felt a slight inclination to withdraw.
If there was a clear competitor, it would be a matter of whose financial strength was greater. But now, no one knew if in the end, victory would be snatched by someone else.
Moreover, a price of sixty million was not low.
Continuing to bid higher, they too would feel the pressure.
As a result, they all shared the same thought, which was to wait for the other side to bid or rather wait for the next competitor to bid.
To see who the other competitors were, and then decide whether to follow up.
The auctioneer, holding the gavel, glanced at the VIP rooms above and shouted, "Is there anyone offering a higher price?"
"Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two... one."
"Bang!" The first gavel strike, everyone focused on the VIP rooms above, and although they couldn't see the people inside, it was as if they could see them at this moment.
"Bang!" The second gavel strike, the auctioneer stared at the VIP room that had bid previously.
"Bang!" The third gavel strike fell, and the auctioneer looked towards Lu Yu's VIP room, loudly declaring, "Congratulations to the distinguished guest of Purple Clouds for securing the Kunpeng Feather."
"Purple Clouds? People from Divine Weapon Pavilion?" Those who often attended auctions realized a bit late.
The two who had been waiting for a new competitor to appear heard the auctioneer's voice and felt a tinge of regret but also managed to breathe a sigh of relief.
Knowing that the one who won the Kunpeng Feather was from the Divine Weapon Pavilion, both became relieved.
The Divine Weapon Pavilion was famously wealthy; they couldn't compete and found it better to yield graciously.
A guest from the previously bidding VIP room spoke, "On behalf of the Tang family, I congratulate our fellow guest from Divine Weapon Pavilion on obtaining the Kunpeng Feather."
Lu Yu was startled, and the other competitor with the Tang family reacted first, quickly saying, "On behalf of the Qin family, congratulations to the fellow guest of Divine Weapon Pavilion on obtaining the Kunpeng Feather."
The Qin family silently cursed the Tang family for shamelessly fawning over the Divine Weapon Pavilion in front of so many people.
But really, weren't they doing the same?
At this point, Lu Yu realized and quickly responded, "Thank you to both seniors for their generosity, allowing Lu Yu to obtain this treasure."
The two families were a bit surprised hearing Lu Yu's young voice, and the people below also felt amazed, not expecting such wealth to come from one so young.
Previously, when Lu Yu bid, he used the array of Purple Clouds to conceal his true voice, so others didn't know his age.
This time when he spoke, he did not cover up his voice.
The Qin family member, somewhat unsure, asked, "Are you the Saint Heir of Divine Weapon Pavilion?"
Lu Yu paused for a moment before responding, "Yes."
"(⊙ o ⊙) Oh!"
The entire hall was in an uproar, staring in shock in the direction of the voice; they didn't expect to encounter the Saint Heir of Divine Weapon Pavilion at an auction.
To most people, the Saint Heir of Divine Weapon Pavilion was very mysterious, akin to royalty, only known by name but not by sight.
"The Saint Heir?" The Tang family looked towards Purple Clouds in surprise; the identity was beyond their expectations.
Then they recalled the news from a few days ago that the Saint Heir of Divine Weapon Pavilion had come to the imperial city at the invitation of the young prince of the Zhou Royal family.
They had thought the Saint Heir had already left the capital, not expecting him to participate in Heaven and Earth Commerce Association's auction.
Normally, if the Saint Heir of Divine Weapon Pavilion wanted something, it would be sought internally first, and only if unavailable would they look outside, which was why the Saint Heir was seldom seen at auctions.
Or rather, the Saint Heir wouldn't personally appear at auctions.
Not wanting to be too conspicuous, Lu Yu said, "Everyone, let's see what the next auction item is."
At this, everyone urged the auctioneer to quickly start the bidding for the next top-grade spiritual item, relieving the auctioneer who had been pondering how to redirect everyone's attention back to the auction, and Lu Yu's intervention solved the dilemma for him.
He gratefully saluted in Lu Yu's direction and then loudly announced the next auction item.
"The next auction item is—the Sea Eye, there's no need to elaborate on the Sea Eye's functions, so let the bidding commence!"
"Starting price: five million Spirit Stones, with increments of no less than one million each time," declared the auctioneer.
Everyone remained silent, all looking towards Lu Yu's direction, waiting for his move.
The auctioneer grew a bit anxious, thinking the Sea Eye, a usual climax item, might go unsold, when the Qin family spoke up.
"Six million."
The Qin family broke the silence, and bidding ensued numerous offers, making the atmosphere even more lively than during the Kunpeng Feather auction.
Many remained silent during the Kunpeng Feather auction partly because the price was too high and partly because they were saving money for the Sea Eye.
They had long known that the Sea Eye was the final auction item in this auction, while the Kunpeng Feather was just an unexpected delight.
Even if they didn't win it, there was no significant regret.
But the Sea Eye had to be secured.
"12 million!" "13 million!" "14 million!"...
The price climbed steadily, and as the bidding for the Sea Eye grew intense, Lu Yu had already left Purple Clouds.
He ran out of money and saw no point in staying, whereas the Sea Eye was unnecessary for him as he possessed something more advanced—the Heart of the Ocean.
The Heart of the Ocean was integrated into his left eye, transforming into the Sea Eye.
Its function was to store a vast amount of spiritual power to be released as needed.
Once refined into a Divine Soldier, it not only stores vast spiritual power but also accelerates the absorption of Spiritual Qi, indirectly speeding up cultivation.
Even without refining into a Divine Soldier, it can serve as a core energy source for most large arrays.
The Heart of the Ocean, not only boasts a larger storage capacity and faster Spiritual Qi absorption but doesn't require storing Spiritual Qi for use, as it naturally gathers nearly endless Spiritual Qi.
Seeing the Sea Eye being auctioned as a top-grade spiritual item, Lu Yu realized that he had long possessed a top-grade spiritual item.
To date, he already had four top-grade spiritual items.
Nine Heavens and Earth, the Primal Chaos Ancient Dragon's Reverse Scale, the Kunpeng Feather, and the Sea Eye (Heart of the Ocean).
