Invincible Immortal Cultivator in the City
Chapter 150 - 149 Cold Blade

Chapter 150: Chapter 149 Cold Blade

Lin Hao’s relaxed and casual words spilled out, one by one, and as the sound spread, it reached every corner of the auction hall.

When his last word fell.

Whether it was Lan Yue’s Yuxue, the elites in the main hall, or the honorable upper-class individuals in the private boxes, all were plunged into a brief silence.

Even the three generations of the Yu Family, led by Yu Shilong, were slightly dumbfounded.

The only one who had no reaction was Nangong Wan’er. Lin Hao glanced at her inadvertently, his lips slightly upturned, but he said nothing more.

In the Emperor Level private box, Yi Lingchuan’s face instantly darkened.

After a long while, a burst of surprise finally erupted from the crowd:

"Is that the Hundred Year Ice Mountain Snow Lotus?!"

"The Hundred Year Ice Mountain Snow Lotus? Is it real?"

"If it really is a century old, 150 million is a steal. Such an item is a rare treasure."

Voices rose and fell in succession.

Yi Lingchuan’s face tensed as he said, "Paying 150 million for a flower, and not feeling satisfied, claiming it to be a hundred years old—are you just being cunning, trying to curry favor with the Yu Family?"

As soon as he spoke, people immediately agreed, thinking that whoever had won the Ice Mountain Snow Lotus was looking for a way to justify their purchase.

How easy is it to come across a hundred-year Snow Lotus?

"Whether it’s a hundred years old or not, why not have a few professionals check it?" Lin Hao replied lightly, "Miss Xue, there should be experts in the hotel, and I don’t mind having them take a closer look."

"We must authenticate it!"

"That’s right, we also want to know if it’s really the Hundred Year Ice Mountain Snow Lotus."

Many in the crowd beneath the auction stage were clamoring, and Lan Yue’s Yuxue, after a brief moment of astonishment, regained her composure and said, "Since the buyer doesn’t mind, then Yuxue will find someone to authenticate it."

She maintained her dignity and steadied the scene before heading backstage, and soon returned with four middle-aged and elderly individuals.

"Ladies and gentlemen, these four are well-known botanists and guests who have come for the event. They will now verify this for everyone."

Lan Yue’s Yuxue said with a beaming smile, "Please begin."

"Alright."

After one elder spoke, he nodded to the other three, and they each took out a toolbox, carefully opening a corner of the box and using various professional instruments to carry out the authentication.

As time passed, expressions of surprise emerged on their faces, and ten minutes later, all four saw shock in each other’s eyes.

"It really is the Hundred Year Ice Mountain Snow Lotus!"

"I never imagined I would see a Snow Lotus of such an ancient age in my lifetime. This life is worthwhile, truly worthwhile!"

"That’s right."

Besides shock, their eyes also held a hint of covetousness.

Their reactions, witnessed by everyone in the hall, left no doubt as to the real answer.

This Ice Mountain Snow Lotus indeed dated back a hundred years!

Everyone was shocked.

million.

Acquiring such a rare treasure was an absolute fortune!

Even with only a ten-day lifespan, it was still a huge profit. If auctioned again, even 500 million would find a buyer!

Once a person has money, what they seek is enjoyment and a sense of novelty; such rare treasures are sought after but not easily found.

The people in the Emperor Level VIP rooms had forcefully won every competition before, but this time, they let the truly good stuff slip by them, which was a huge loss.

"Damn it!"

In an Emperor Level VIP room, Yi Lingchuan’s face grew uglier by the minute. He clenched his fist and slammed it hard on the table.

The entire table shattered with a crash.

Tian Shuang’s eyes were full of mockery; her fellow disciple tried to show off in front of a woman time and again, only to be made a fool of. She was growing more and more disdainful of Yi Lingchuan and could not understand why Jin Chengdao would take on such a student.

"That guy really took a big hit."

"Haha, he’s such an idiot, sitting in an Emperor Level box, no less, and he can’t even outplay the folks from the Yu Family, what trash."

"Keep your voice down, don’t get heard, or he might retaliate."

"..."

After a brief moment of pity, the grand hall erupted with more ridicule towards Yi Lingchuan. His eyes filled with murderous intent, he wished he could flay Lin Hao alive.

On the auction stage, Lan Yue Yuxue looked towards Lin Hao in surprise, gave a slight smile in his direction, and then saw off the four individuals and the Ice Mountain Snow Lotus.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please calm down. The Ice Mountain Snow Lotus was just a trinket; what comes next will be even better," she said.

Lan Yue Yuxue had a strong ability to control the crowd. With just a few words, she refocused everyone’s attention on her.

As she said, what followed were indeed rare treasures, almost each one unique in this world, causing wave after wave of amazement within the auction hall, bringing the event to its climax.

The items were good, but in Lin Hao’s eyes, they meant little. This trip not only allowed him to deal with the Xu Family’s items, but also to obtain the Ice Mountain Snow Lotus he needed, which was an unexpected surprise.

"I just need a ten-year-old rattlesnake to refine the Transcendence Pill and make my mom and dad Cultivators," Lin Hao murmured to himself. Ten-year-old rattlesnakes were not easy to find, and they definitely weren’t in the Binhai area.

However, it wasn’t really a problem for him.

Lin Hao didn’t pay much attention to the following part of the auction, nor did he participate, leaving Yi Lingchuan no opportunity to regain his pride and seething inside with frustration.

As the auction progressed fervently, just as Lin Hao began to doze off, Lan Yue Yuxue suddenly exclaimed:

"Ladies and gentlemen, today’s auction is nearing its end. Before we conclude, we will present the long-anticipated finale piece to all of you."

"Before coming here, you should have already learned about it. It’s a sword from the Qin Dynasty or perhaps even an older era."

As Lan Yue Yuxue spoke with passion, a beautiful woman brought a rectangular wooden box to the front.

"Xiao Liao, open the box and let everyone have a look," Lan Yue Yuxue instructed her.

"Okay."

The woman smiled slightly, bowed to everyone, and slowly slid open the lid of the wooden box under the watchful eyes of all.

At the same time, all the lights in the venue dimmed.

A spotlight shone on the wooden box.

As the lid opened, a sword cast in bronze, about three feet long, appeared before everyone’s eyes. Despite thousands of years, the Treasure Sword still shone brightly, untouched by the passage of time, radiating cold brilliance.

At that moment, everyone in the three Emperor Level VIP rooms stood up, gazing intently at it.

In the nine supreme VIP boxes, apart from Lin Hao, not a single person remained seated!

"So that’s how it is." Seeing it, Lin Hao finally understood why this auction was so grand.

This was the only sword among the seven known Spiritual Artifacts of Huaxia.

Cold Blade!
