Death… And Me

Chapter 1314 - Freezing Star Liquid

The shield was exceptional, but it was still an item used by cultivators at the Transition Realm level or below. Otherwise, Rank Two Divine Stones wouldn't be used as currency, but Rank Three Divine Stones instead. Cailin then started the auction after a while, announcing, "The start bidding price is 1000 Rank Two Divine Stones."

Rean and Hurio's mouths twitched after hearing that. That was an incredibly high price. Sure, Rean still had more than twenty thousand Rank Two Divine Stones, but he would need to pay the smugglers of each continent, so he couldn't spend too much money. He then looked at Hurio, who nodded at him, saying, 'Since we're sharing the costs, we might as well go for it.'

On the stage, Cailin began to announce the bids she was receiving.

"1100!"

"1300!"

"1500!"

Rean pondered in silence for a bit before asking, 'What's our limit here?'

Hurio narrowed his eyes for a moment before saying, 'I can part with 1500 at most. More than that, and this thing will be my downfall.'

Rean thought the same thing. 'Alright, I'll fork out another 1500. If it goes beyond that price, we'll pull out of the bidding war.'

Without wasting time, Rean decided to give the next bid.

"2000!"

Seeing the price suddenly jump by so much, the auction became silent. Obviously, 2000 was already going above most of the Elemental Transformation Realm cultivators' budget. The Transition Realm ones weren't faring any better, either. Nevertheless, some people who were very proficient in Yang Energy manipulation gritted their teeth and continued to bid.

"2100"

"2150!"

"2200!"

Rean decided to make them silent once again.

"2500!"

This time, the majority immediately shook their heads. The shield was amazing, but not that amazing to warrant such a high price. However, it was then that a voice echoed in the auction.

"3000!"

Unlike before, the person didn't use the badge to tell the bid but spoke himself. It was an old man with white robes. He bid leisurely as if 3000 Rank Two Divine Stones meant nothing to him.

Seeing what was happening, Rean bitterly smiled as he looked at Hurio, who was also bitterly smiling right now. They both shook their heads, knowing that they definitely wouldn't try to outbid that man. The Fallen Light Star Fragment was important, but not to that extent.

Cailin was also surprised that the shield reached such a monumental price. However, it was her job to continue the auction. "Is there anyone offering a bigger bid? Going once, going twice... sold to the white-robed sir on the back. Congratulations. Since you didn't mind showing yourself, you can pay and withdraw your shield straight away."

The old man nodded before throwing a spatial ring at Cailin. She quickly caught it and scanned the contents inside. Soon after, she showed a bright smile before delivering the shield to the old man.

Rean tried to see the man's cultivation, but it was obvious that it was too high for him to detect. The old man wasn't using his Divine Sense, so Rean couldn't determine the old man's cultivation through that either. However, Roan gave him a warning, telling him, 'He's definitely above the Transition Realm. I can't tell his cultivation, but he doesn't look like the other Transition Realm guys in our surroundings.'

The old man then looked at a woman by his side before throwing the shield at her. "Here, take it. Make sure to use it if necessary."

The woman resembled the old man at some places, so it was quite obvious that they were related. It wasn't hard to deduce that the woman might be his daughter or granddaughter.

Everyone couldn't help but look at her in jealousy. How great would it be for them if they had a backer as rich as that guy?

Cailin didn't care what the guy did with the shield as long as it was paid for, so she continued the auction. "Alright, everyone. Let's proceed with our auction."

She then brought quite a few other rare items into the stage, but there wasn't anything Rean and Roan were interested in. Until finally, the last item was taken out. Cailin then took the mantle of the cart to show it to the public. It was a vial that seemed to be completely empty. However, the strong Yin Energy the vial emanated and the Water Element it gathered on its own proved that it was definitely not the case. Some Yin Energy cultivators couldn't help but feel greed towards the vial as it would prove to be very beneficial to their cultivations and abilities.

Rean and Roan couldn't identify the item, though. However, when they heard its name, they felt like they were struck by lightning.

"The next item is called the Freezing Star Liquid. It can only be found in the Lost Star Realm, as far as we know. We usually wouldn't put such an item for sale as it's also very beneficial to our Lanqueas Sect cultivators. However, it just so happens the cultivators who found it wanted to have it auctioned instead of accepting our initial offer. Our Lanqueas Sect takes the yearly auction very seriously, so we will comply with the liquid's owner and put it up for auction. We also won't have anyone related to our sect bid for it. Everyone here should take this opportunity as this kind of item won't appear anytime soon again."

Hurio noticed the change in the twins' expressions and couldn't help but ask, "Is that something you need?"

Rean and Roan simply nodded in response but didn't say anything. Instead, they used their Soul Connection to talk.

'That's the item we need for the Fourth Grade Star Body!' Rean could not help but exclaim.

Roan nodded, saying, 'To think we would find it here.'

Obviously, they reached the same conclusion. 'It doesn't matter how expensive it is, even if it costs all our Rank Three Divine Stones, we have to acquire it.'

Sure, the liquid was found in the Lost Star Realm. However, anyone could tell just how ridiculously rare it was. The twins hoping to find it by themselves would just be just idiotic. The only bad thing was that they wouldn't be able to use it straight away. After all, they needed ten Molten Divine Rock Flowers to achieve Third Grade Star Body first.

Cailin saw that she obtained the reaction she wanted before announcing the initial bidding price. "The initial price is....just one Rank Two Divine Stone!"
