The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2111: Return

When Chunyu Bo uttered these words, he deliberately glanced at those Immortal Rhythm Netherworld Realm powerhouses. His tone carried a certain instigating element. If he could make those strong individuals clash with Lord Zu Ming, this Immortal Rhythm Treasure could naturally fetch a higher price.

However, it was evident that this tactic did not work as those Immortal Rhythm Netherworld Realm powerhouses did not raise their bids further. In fact, some had already stood up and left the auction venue directly.

"Congratulations, Lord Zu Ming! Haha, this Immortal Rhythm Treasure will belong to you from now on." Chunyu Bo, after multiple inquiries with no one raising the bid, announced that the Void Eye was successfully auctioned to Lord Zu Ming.

After the successful auction of the Void Eye, the event continued. However, this auction was already more than halfway through, and the subsequent dozen items were auctioned one by one, with the final item hitting a high price of eighty million Black Crystal Stones. Without the Void Eye, this last item should have been the most valuable in this auction; it was a fist-sized vibrant red Elixir.

As the auction concluded, Jing Yan and Lord Ying Zhu followed the crowd out of the auction venue.

"Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, although I expected that Immortal Rhythm Treasure to fetch a high price, I never imagined it would go for a hundred million Black Crystal Stones," Lord Ying Zhu remarked, somewhat ruefully.

"Indeed, Lord Zu Ming is wealthy; otherwise, such a high price might not have been achieved," Jing Yan replied with a smile.

"Yes, Lord Zu Ming is the wealthiest Nether Sky Realm Cultivator in our Blue Rain Divine Continent. Not only is his power close to the Immortal Rhythm Netherworld Realm, but he also has a large number of Nether Sky Realm powerhouses under his command," Lord Ying Zhu admired.

The two deliberately waited for a while and then went to meet Chunyu Bo after two hours.

After the auction ends, the items are settled for transaction. If it’s a large auction, the items might be exchanged even before the auction ends. The auction hosted by Chunyu Bo, though high-end, did not have many bidders or items.

Within two hours after the auction ended, most transactions were completed.

When Jing Yan and Lord Ying Zhu went to see Chunyu Bo, he had leisure time.

"Haha, Lord Ying Zhu, I thought you had already left," Chunyu Bo laughed heartily.

"Young Master Chunyu is jesting. I thought the auction just ended, and you might be busy, so I waited a while before coming," Lord Ying Zhu responded with a smile.

"Indeed, I was busy earlier. Lord Ying Zhu, let’s not waste words. The Immortal Rhythm Treasure you entrusted to me has closed at a hundred million Black Crystal Stones. According to the rules, I must charge a ten percent fee. Is that acceptable, Lord Ying Zhu?" Chunyu Bo looked at Lord Ying Zhu.

Lord Ying Zhu did not immediately reply but looked at Jing Yan beside him.

Jing Yan nodded to Lord Ying Zhu.

It’s reasonable to charge a fee for consignment auctions. You can’t expect someone like Chunyu Bo to serve you for free. Moreover, a certain fee is charged at any auction house, wherever it may be. A ten percent fee is not considered high.

And Chunyu Bo observed this scene.

Chunyu Bo’s face didn’t change expression, but he was somewhat surprised internally. He initially thought Jing Yan was merely a follower or guest of Lord Ying Zhu, but now things appear more complex.

This Lord Ying Zhu seems to show excessive respect towards the person beside him. However, Chunyu Bo didn’t want to ask more; he didn’t care much about who this person accompanying Lord Ying Zhu was. How significant could the background be of someone coming with Lord Ying Zhu? As for Cultivation, Chunyu Bo didn’t sense a Nether Sky Realm aura from Jing Yan.

"It’s reasonable for Young Master Chunyu to charge a ten percent fee," Lord Ying Zhu said with a light smile to Chunyu Bo after Jing Yan nodded.

"Pleasant cooperation!" Chunyu Bo immediately took out a spatial storage bag.

"Inside here are nine million Black Crystal Stones. Lord Ying Zhu, please verify," Chunyu Bo handed the spatial bag to Lord Ying Zhu.

"I trust Young Master Chunyu," Lord Ying Zhu said as he received the spatial bag.

Even though he claimed to trust Chunyu Bo, he still activated Divine Thought to check the quantity of Black Crystal Stones inside the spatial bag. There were indeed nine million without any discrepancies. For Ying Zhu, this was also a huge sum.

"Young Master Chunyu, we won’t disturb you any longer," Ying Zhu bade farewell to Chunyu Bo.

"Lord Ying Zhu, I hope we can cooperate again in the future. If you have more Immortal Rhythm Treasures to sell, do come to me," Chunyu Bo said.

"Certainly, certainly," Ying Zhu nodded repeatedly.

After leaving Chunyu Bo’s residence, Ying Zhu handed the spatial bag to Jing Yan.

"Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, shall we return to Divine Martial City now?" Ying Zhu looked at Jing Yan.

"The scale of this Radiant City is slightly larger than Divine Martial City; I want to purchase some resources here as it might be more convenient than in Divine Martial City," Jing Yan contemplated and said.

Lord Ying Zhu smiled.

Jing Yan saying Radiant City is slightly bigger compared to Divine Martial City really gives face to him, Ying Zhu. Radiant City, in the entire Blue Rain Divine Continent, is also a top-tier city, how can it be compared to Divine Martial City?

Subsequently, Jing Yan and Lord Ying Zhu went to various business buildings and associations in Radiant City, purchasing many materials. Jing Yan mainly bought materials for cultivating the Seven Luminaries Technique.

Although the materials were precious, they weren’t too difficult to obtain in a city like Radiant City. With enough Black Crystal Stones, those business buildings would even take out auction-level resources.

The materials for cultivating the Fifth and Sixth Layers of the Seven Luminaries Technique cost Jing Yan nearly thirty million Black Crystal Stones. As for the materials needed for the seventh layer, Jing Yan assessed they would require over a hundred million Black Crystal Stones.

After purchasing the materials, Jing Yan and Lord Ying Zhu returned to Divine Martial City.

...

Lifeng City, at the Zu Family Residence of Lord Zu Ming.

This Lifeng City is the main city of the Zu Family Territory, a city comparable in scale to Radiant City and also quite renowned in Blue Rain Divine Continent.

At this moment, Lord Zu Ming was in a room at his residence, standing before him was an elder in a black robe.

Lord Zu Ming had just returned to Lifeng City from Radiant City, and upon his return, he invited this black-robed elder over.

What was surprising was that Lord Zu Ming was showing a respectful expression in front of the black-robed elder. He didn’t even dare to sit while the elder stood there.

If this scene were witnessed by an outside cultivator, they would surely be astonished. Lord Zu Ming wouldn’t be this restrained even in front of those Immortal Rhythm Netherworld Realm Cultivators. Furthermore, Lifeng City is his city. Within the city, leveraging the power of the internal and external Big Array, he is fully capable of battling those rather formidable Immortal Rhythm Netherworld Realm powerhouses.
