k has been empowered by the power of formations, naturally becoming even stronger and ascending to a new height.Suddenly, a loud boom!With a roar, the Iron Camel struck with its blade, cleaving throug...Two burly half-orc Blood Wolves carried a three-meter-tall bronze cauldron onto the auction stage.

Although the two of them were very careful, when the bronze cauldron fell to the ground, it still made a loud clang. The four legs of the bronze cauldron pressed the platform slightly inward.

From this we can see how heavy the bronze cauldron is.

This bronze cauldron, weighing at least 800,000 jin, was not cast from ordinary materials.

A hush fell over the crowd as all eyes were fixed on the bronze tripod displayed on the auction stage. They whispered amongst themselves, their faces full of anticipation.

A massive bronze cauldron, completely covered in green verdigris, bore intricate inscriptions beneath the patina, radiating an ancient charm.

Qi Feiyu stood under the bronze tripod and began to introduce: "This tripod is called the Kaiguan Lu Ding. It was a sacred vessel used by the former glorious Central Imperial Empire to worship their ancestors, deities, and heaven and earth."

Zhang Ruochin's gaze was fixed on the bronze cauldron, and suddenly, familiar memories surged like a tide, seeming to transport him back eight hundred years ago.

Every year on the winter solstice, as snow falls heavily, Zhang Ruochin would be served by palace maids, bathe in incense, and change into a clean and tidy dragon robe. He would then follow Emperor Ming and civil and military officials to sacrifice to heaven and earth and all gods under the Kaiyuan Lu Ding, praying for the good fortune of the coming year.

He felt as if he heard a palace maid calling him to wake up by his ear, and as if the Taizi Tai Fu was reading aloud a sacrificial text in a booming voice.

For the old soldiers of the Holy Ming Central Empire, it held extraordinary significance, carrying the fortunes of the Holy Ming Central Empire.

Perhaps the Bai Yue Demon Cult is aware that Kunlun Realm is about to be thrown into chaos, which is why they are auctioning off the Kaiyuan Lu Ding. They want to stir up the already muddy waters even further.

A look of surprise flashed in Murong Yue's eyes, she immediately turned her head and fixed her gaze on Zhang Ruochin, saying, "Your Highness..." Zhang Ruochin stretched out a hand to stop her from speaking, saying, "Wait a moment, you will be the one to bid publicly. No matter what, you must get the Kaiyuan Deer King.""But my subordinate doesn't have that many sacred stones," Murong Yue showed a hint of worry.

"Don't worry about the sacred stones, I will use divine blood to replace them. I believe the cultivators of the Demon Cult would be more willing to receive divine blood," Zhang Ruochin said.

Reassured by Zhang Ruochin's full support, Murong Yue instantly felt at ease.

The opening bid for the Kaiyuan Sacred Tripod is 10,000 sacred stones. Each increase must be at least 100 sacred stones.

When Qi Feiyue announced the starting price of the Kaiyuan Shengding, a wave of sighs swept through the auction hall.

After all, the Kaiyuan Lu Ding is just an ancient bronze artifact and not even a hundred-patterned sacred artifact. [To read the latest chapters of this book, please go to] Even if its starting price were a Sacred Stone, no one would buy it unless it was the ancestral artifact of the Shengming Central Imperial Dynasty.

"The Zhuangguangge is really asking for an exorbitant price, clearly intending to fleece Kong Hongbi ruthlessly," a figure of the sect master level said with a low chuckle.

All the cultivators present knew that the Kaigen Deer Head was crucial to the Mingtang, and Kong Hongbi would definitely bid for it.

A chill flashed across Kong Hongbi's eyes, and a hint of hatred welled up towards the Baiyue Demon Cult. A silent vow formed in her heart: she would find a way to get revenge.

One million sacred stones, indeed a hefty sum, but still within Kong Hongbi's reach.

"“Ten thousand holy stones.” Kong Hongbi shouted the price.

"

In the auction hall, the three stewards of Zhu Guang Ge simultaneously smiled and nodded, feeling very satisfied.

Just when everyone thought Kong Hongbi would spend ten thousand sacred stones to win the Kaiyuan Deer Horn, Murong Yue, who was sitting beside Zhang Ruichen, shouted the price: "Ten thousand one hundred sacred stones."

Everyone looked at each other in surprise, then turned their gazes to Murong Yue, and whispers filled the air.

An elder spoke, revealing Murong Yue's family background. He said, "Murong Yue is a distinguished descendant of the Murong clan, and the Murong clan was once a powerful aristocratic family in the Holy Bright Central Empire. Could it be that the Murong clan also wants to compete for hegemony and rebuild the Holy Bright Central Empire"

In the auction hall, all sorts of speculation arose.

Of course, they would only dare to utter such outrageous words in the Black Market Headquarters' auction house. In the Martial City's auction house, anyone who dared to mention rebuilding the Holy Bright Central Empire would surely be stripped of their possessions and eradicated from existence.

Kong Hongbi glanced at Murong Yue with disdain and said, "I never expected that the Murong family would be so interested in the Kaigen Lu Ding. It's a pity that the legitimate authority of the Shengming Central Empire lies in Mingtang. Even if the Murong family obtains the Kaigen Lu Ding, they wouldn't be able to command the warlords."

Then Kong Hongbi raised the price: "12,000 sacred stones." "13,000 sacred stones."

"Fifteen thousand sacred stones."

...

Prices are soaring at a rapid pace.

When Murong Yue shouted the sky-high price of "20,000 sacred stones," even Kong Hongbi hesitated slightly.

On the contrary, the three deacons of Zhuangguangge became increasingly happy, with smiles on their faces, hoping that Kong Hongbi and Murong Yue would bid the price higher.Yuanfu, with a vast organization and over a million cultivators. It can be considered a top-tier third-rate sect, occupying many mineral veins and spiritual herb resources.This is a piece of fat that...
