Chapter 361: Chapter 361: Jade Marrow Spirit Stone (Thirteenth Update)
“Ladies and gentlemen, I don’t need to elaborate on the importance of this item! In any case, if your practice is of the Dark Series, then this item will be of infinite benefit to you,” said the auctioneer.

“Moreover, the auction of this item is different from the others. The consigner does not want gold coins; he only desires world-rare treasures that catch his eye. Once he fancies something, it will be exchanged for that item.”

This statement caused a stir among the audience.

Excitement appeared on Lu Xia’s face as he signaled to Ah Fei with a look.

Ah Fei hastily stood up.

“My friend, what do you plan to exchange for it?” asked the auctioneer.

Ah Fei walked up to the stage with pride and extended his hand.

“This is a Gu King egg from Miao Immortal Valley. Just drip your fresh blood onto it, and once the Gu King hatches, it will obey you for life, never leaving your side! It is an extremely powerful force!”

At these words, there was a disturbance in the crowd.

Many people began whispering amongst themselves.

“Insect Valley! It’s the descendant of Insect Valley!”

“To put forth a Gu King egg, could it be that the famous Insect Immortal has come?”

Amidst these discussions, Long Guanyu’s expression darkened as he cast his gaze towards Lu Xia in the corner.

Finding himself under Long Guanyu’s scrutiny, Lu Xia turned to look.

Their gazes met.

Lu Xia smiled naively and nodded slightly.

Long Guanyu snorted coldly and turned his head back to the stage.

Although Lu Xia appeared to be smiling on the surface, he was also somewhat frightened inside.

Indeed, it was him, Long Guanyu, reputed to be the strongest sorcerer in Nanyang in a hundred years!

It seems that today’s auction, has deep waters!

Meanwhile, on the stage, the auctioneer took the Gu King egg backstage and returned after a while with a regretful face.

“I’m sorry, sir, although the Gu King egg is powerful and mysterious, the gentleman who consigned it is not too fond of it!”

“What?” Ah Fei’s eyes widened.

To not fancy even a Gu King egg was to look down upon Miao Immortal Valley!

Just as he was about to burst out, Lu Xia said in a deep voice, “Ah Fei!”

Ah Fei then glared at the auctioneer, turned, and stepped off the stage, fuming, “Gu Master, these people simply don’t recognize a treasure. It’s infuriating!”

Lu Xia chuckled and then watched the stage with flickering eyes.

He also wanted to know, what on earth does the person who could consign such an item want?

At this moment, Long Guanyu gracefully stood up and walked towards the stage.

“Who is this person?”

“Shh, keep it down. You can’t afford to provoke this person; this is Long Guanyu, the leading figure in Nanyang’s Sorcery!”

Hisss!

At the mention of a sorcerer, many felt a chill down their spines.

After all, that stuff is too sinister.

It’s completely intangible murder.

Long Guanyu proudly walked onto the stage and took out a white bone, placing it on the table.

Seeing this item, many were indifferent.

Only Lu Xia and a few others had their expressions change in unison.

Then Long Guanyu spoke aloud, “Ladies and gentlemen, this is a true bone of the ancient exotic beast, Kylin. It greatly enhances many Spell Decrees, as well as prayers and curses!”

At his introduction, many showed looks of amazement.

A bone from the ancient exotic Kylin!

Let alone everything else, the title alone already made it a world-rare treasure.

The auctioneer nodded, “Please wait a moment!”

With that, he picked up the bone and headed backstage.

Shortly after, he returned and shook his head, “I’m sorry, but the gentleman who consigned the item also does not favor this one!”

Long Guanyu, who had been brimming with confidence, suddenly stiffened.

Fury raged in his heart.

Even such an item was not wanted; what on earth did the consigner desire?

This was also the question on many people’s minds.

Quintina hesitated for a moment before she also stood up, holding a pitch-black dagger in her hand.

“This is a Blade of Darkness; anyone wounded by it, even with the slightest touch, will be afflicted with various curses and negative states. It is the supreme weapon for assassination.”

That item made many of the weapon aficionados in attendance brighten up.

It could actually inflict curses and negative states.

This was considered a divine weapon.

But this time, the auctioneer came out even quicker, shaking his head as he said, “Beautiful lady, I am sorry, but he does not like it.”

At this, the auction came to an impasse.

Many people were unclear about what the mysterious consigner really wanted.

Could it be that he was just showing off and had no real intention of selling the item?

Many people were pondering this in their hearts.

Xue An smiled and stood, walking towards the stage.

His movement attracted everyone’s attention.

After sizing him up, many people showed an air of disdain.

Compared to the overwhelming presence of Lu Xia and Long Guanyu among others.

Xue An appeared quite ordinary.

Could such a person have anything valuable to offer?

Hence, many people were not very hopeful.

When Xue An reached the stage, the auctioneer asked, “Sir, may I know if you have any rare treasures to exchange?”

Xue An nodded and casually threw a stone-like object on the table.

The auctioneer frowned, looking at Xue An’s attitude, wondering if the item could even be valuable.

“Please introduce what this is!” the auctioneer asked.

Xue An smiled faintly, “This… you’d better take it backstage and ask them. If he really knows his stuff, he should know what it is!”

The auctioneer, somewhat skeptical, took the object, which resembled a piece of jade, backstage.

This time, he was gone for quite a long time.

So long that the crowd below began to grow restless.

Only then did the auctioneer return with a shocked expression, nodding at Xue An.

“The consignor said, ‘Deal!’”

Boom!

The entire place was astounded.

Many were baffled.

Some of the more meddlesome ones even started to make noise.

“No way, this has to be rigged. Can a mere stone be more precious than the eggs of the Gu King or the true bones of a Kylin? You all must be in cahoots!”

“Exactly!”

Many people began to echo this sentiment.

Faced with this scene, Xue An just stood with his hands behind his back, smiling faintly.

“A mere stone? Ha, if this is ‘just a stone,’ then there are no treasures in this world at all! Because… that is a Jade Marrow Spirit Stone!”

With that statement.

Long Guanyu and others who had been ready to laugh at Xue An, suddenly changed color.

Jade Marrow Spirit Stone!

The name was unfamiliar to many.

Only well-established sects and those with long legacies knew of it.

It was an existence comparable to a natural and earthly treasure.

It could once be mined in the secular world, used to greatly increase one’s cultivation level.

But as the spiritual energy gradually thinned, it became exceedingly rare!

Unexpectedly, it had surfaced here today.

Many people looked at Xue An with astonished eyes.

Wondering how this unprepossessing man could possess such a wonder of heaven and earth.

At this moment, the auctioneer spoke in a low voice, “Sir, the consignor has asked me to inquire if you have more of these stones?”

Xue An smiled slightly, “Plenty, but I don’t want anything else, just this kind of item!”
