Old Five is a Goose.
Chapter 476: Half-Moon Halberd Blade
Though she also hoped the auction would get more Immortal Lattice Stones, she didn't want Mo Wuji to be killed for no reason. If five thousand Immortal Lattice Stones only made others envious, then announcing ten thousand Immortal Lattice Stones was purely inviting hatred.
A Heavenly Immortal cultivator dared to use Immortal Lattice Stones so unscrupulously to bid for items; she really didn't know if it was due to ignorance and inflated courage or reliance on some powerful backing. In any case, she believed Mo Wuji shouldn't offend the Golden Immortal expert in that private room.
"Ten thousand Immortal Lattice Stones thrice. Congratulations to friend number 1233 for obtaining the Nirvana Extreme Fire Essence as desired." No one competed with Mo Wuji, and the Nirvana Extreme Fire Essence was obtained by him without any surprise.
The auction of the Nirvana Extreme Fire Essence was over, and everyone in the auction hall, including Mo Wuji himself, knew that the battle for the Nirvana Extreme Fire Essence was just beginning.
As soon as he got the Nirvana Extreme Fire Essence, Mo Wuji sent it into his ring. If this weren't an auction venue, he would have couldn't resist immediately upgrading his Flame Nirvana.
Seemingly to reduce attention to Mo Wuji, Li Yue didn't even congratulate him on obtaining the Nirvana Extreme Fire Essence. She waved her hand again, and an ancient and simple pill furnace floated in front of her.
"This is a very ancient pill furnace. Judging from its aura, this pill furnace is at least hundreds of thousands of years old. Despite such a long time, the grade of this pill furnace is still no less than a Rank 3 Immortal artifact. The only regret is that a restriction inside this pill furnace has been damaged and cannot be refined with 100% success. Otherwise, this pill furnace could even reach the level of Rank 5 or Rank 6..."
"The starting price for this pill furnace is three hundred thousand mid-grade Immortal Crystals, with each bid increasing by no less than ten thousand mid-grade Immortal Crystals..."
"Three thousand Immortal Lattice Stones." As soon as Li Yue finished speaking, Mo Wuji directly placed his bid. Mo Wuji was already lacking a pill furnace; the pill furnaces he had were all from the cultivation world. Wen Lianxi had given him a Rank 1 Immortal artifact pill furnace, but then took it back. As for a damaged restriction preventing perfect refining, it didn't have much impact on him.
Several cultivators who wanted to bid stopped their offers after seeing Mo Wuji's bid. Everyone knew that number 1233 was a fool, and a wealthy fool at that. Anyone with a normal mind wouldn't want to compete with a fool.
Originally, this Rank 3 Immortal artifact pill furnace could have been sold for at least five hundred thousand mid-grade Immortal Crystals. Because Mo Wuji bid first, there wasn't a second bid. In the end, Mo Wuji bought the pill furnace at the starting price.
Li Yue, who had been feeling some sympathy for Mo Wuji, was immediately speechless. If this guy bid first for everything, would anyone else still bid?
Fortunately, what she was worried about didn't happen. After buying this pill furnace, Mo Wuji finally quieted down. He didn't bid on the next few dozen items. On the other hand, Han Qingru and Tong Sheng, who were sitting next to Mo Wuji, each made a bid once. Han Qingru bought a wood-attribute technique, and Tong Sheng bought an astrolabe.
"The next item to be auctioned is the highest-grade Immortal artifact in this auction, the Crescent Halberd. According to our auction house's Immortal artifact appraiser, this should be a Rank 9 Immortal artifact..."
Li Yue's words were once again drowned out by the enthusiastic discussions of the auction hall. A Rank 9 Immortal artifact? Even in the Immortal World, it was a top-level existence. How could it appear in Yong Ying Immortal Corner?
Li Yue pressed down on the noise with her hand and said with a smile, "Everyone, please don't misunderstand. There are two reasons why this Crescent Halberd appeared here. First, this halberd is a defective product, with only the crescent blade remaining. The halberd shaft and handle are gone..."
Hearing this, everyone understood. This meant that only a quarter of this Rank 9 Immortal artifact was left. In that case, this halberd was just a fragment, even inferior to the pill furnace with a damaged internal restriction.
"The second reason is that this halberd comes from the Immortal Chasm. Problems arose in the Semi-Immortal Domain, and many cultivators in the Semi-Immortal Domain crossed the Immortal Chasm. Although they mostly perished in the Immortal Chasm, some lucky ones survived to the Space Blade Array and brought some top-level treasure fragments. This Crescent Halberd fragment is one of them..."
Hearing Li Yue's words, a trace of killing intent flashed in Mo Wuji's heart.
The people of Yong Ying Immortal Corner were too tyrannical, not only preventing people from the Semi-Immortal Domain from coming over, but also setting up a Space Blade Array at the entrance to the channel. Even he, if it weren't for his Life Meridian, would have perished in that Space Blade Array.
If he had the ability, he would definitely open the transfer array from Yong Ying Immortal Corner to the Semi-Immortal Domain, allowing anyone from the Semi-Immortal Domain to enter Yong Ying Immortal Corner and gain the opportunity to enter the Immortal World.
"Now, let's take a look at the crescent blade of this halberd!" Li Yue waved her hand, and a wave appeared in the space in front of her. A crescent halberd blade nearly one and a half meters long appeared before everyone. The blade was cyan in color, and even though it was just a fragment that had experienced countless years, it still exuded a sharp killing intent.
An ancient and distant aura permeated Mo Wuji's spiritual will. Mo Wuji suddenly closed his eyes, and he even felt the halberd blade calling to him.
This crescent halberd blade actually gave him a sense of eagerness and fervor. He was extremely familiar with this aura; it was the aura from when his Immortal World had just been opened. Moreover, compared to his Immortal World, this crescent halberd blade was even more ancient and vast.
This was definitely not a simple Rank 9 Immortal artifact fragment. It came from a top-level treasure.
He wanted this halberd. Mo Wuji opened his eyes, his gaze fixed on the halberd blade with some eagerness. Originally, he wanted to buy a long spear or a blade-type magical treasure. Only that kind of sharp magical treasure could unleash his killing intent.
But as soon as this crescent halberd blade appeared, Mo Wuji decided to take it down. There was no reason, just a feeling.
"The starting price for this crescent halberd blade is five hundred thousand high-grade Immortal Crystals, with each bid increasing by no less than ten thousand high-grade Immortal Crystals. Bidding starts now." After Li Yue finished speaking, she raised her hand again to cast a restriction, sending the nearly one-meter-long halberd blade into a long jade box and sealing it with a restriction.
"Six hundred thousand high-grade Immortal Crystals." As soon as Li Yue put away the halberd blade, someone bid.
Everyone knew who was bidding. It was the Golden Immortal cultivator who had competed with Mo Wuji for the Nirvana Extreme Fire Essence. This Golden Immortal cultivator had lost to Mo Wuji in the competition for the Nirvana Extreme Fire Essence, and now he had his eye on this crescent halberd blade.
"Six hundred and fifty thousand high-grade Immortal Crystals." A second bid came out, showing that not everyone would be intimidated by that Golden Immortal.
Seeing that it wasn't Mo Wuji who had stood up, the Golden Immortal cultivator didn't get angry, but instead bid again with a price of eight hundred thousand high-grade Immortal Crystals.
Everyone knew that this Golden Immortal cultivator had an extraordinary background. After he raised the price to eight hundred thousand high-grade Immortal Crystals, several private rooms that wanted to bid gave up.
The person who made the second bid also knew that bidding again would be equivalent to making an enemy, so he simply stopped bidding.
"Eight hundred thousand high-grade Immortal Crystals once. Is there a higher bid? Eight hundred thousand high-grade Immortal Crystals twice..."
"Ten thousand Immortal Lattice Stones." Mo Wuji's bid interrupted Li Yue's words.
The auction hall was in an uproar again, not because of the Crescent Halberd, but because that fool with Immortal Lattice Stones was acting crazy again and competing with the Golden Immortal expert from the Immortal World.
"Haha, you really have guts. Two million Immortal Crystals." The Golden Immortal cultivator laughed, but his laughter was full of killing intent, with no trace of joy. After laughing, he directly bid two million Immortal Crystals.
Even knowing that the kid was doomed to die and the item would eventually be his, he didn't want to lose several bids to a tiny Heavenly Immortal ant who hadn't even condensed an Immortal Lattice in such a public setting.
