Chapter 579: Chapter 580: Sword Qi Acquired (2nd Update)

At this time, whoever bids now is almost tantamount to offending the Ancient Desolate Sect.

"Is there no one offering a higher price?"

Spirit Venerable True Person swept his gaze around the crowd and spoke slowly.

In the venue, silence reigned, and no one dared to answer.

"Spirit Venerable True Person, the Sky-reaching Sword Qi belongs to us now, hand it over,"

Gu Lin looked at the silence of the entire hall and laughed out loud, claiming the Sky-reaching Sword Qi as his, as if it were already in his pocket.

But just as the sound of his voice fell, at the next instant, a voice echoed loudly.

"Others may fear your Ancient Desolate Sect, but I certainly do not!"

"Three hundred thousand Spirit Stones!"

From within VIP room number eleven, Chu Fengmian spoke lightly.

"Someone from VIP room number eleven has spoken again."

"Interesting, the last time, this person snatched the Jianmu tree branch right from the hands of those from the Ancient Desolate Sect."

"Initially, he was silent, and we thought his wealth had already run out, but unexpectedly, he stirs up trouble again."

The people below all watched the dispute with a spectator’s interest.

They dared not offend the people of the Ancient Desolate Sect, but someone else dared.

All they needed to do was to watch the excitement quietly from below.

"Damn it, damn it, it’s this person causing trouble again. Could this person have a grudge against our Ancient Desolate Sect?"

Inside VIP room number ten, Gu Lin wore an extremely happy, prideful expression.

Since the moment he revealed his identity with the Ancient Desolate Sect, no one at the auction dared to compete with him.

Just as Gu Lin was basking in self-satisfaction, Chu Fengmian’s remark made his face turn as unsightly as if he had eaten shit.

"Damn it, my Sword Dao is about to advance again; as long as I get the Sword Qi of this Sky-reaching Sword Qi, my Sword Dao will be able to progress further. This brat dares to meddle at this time!"

Gu Lin cursed furiously; were it not for the fear of the Sky-reaching Pavilion and the fact that he still needed to continue participating in the auction.

Right now, Gu Lin wished he could just take action, capture Chu Fengmian, dismember him into pieces, and refine his soul to quench his boiling rage.

"Five hundred thousand!"

Gu Lin made another bid.

"Six hundred thousand!"

During Chu Fengmian’s calm moment, a detached voice sounded once more.

With every bid Gu Lin made, Chu Fengmian followed right up.

In just a short period, the price of the Sky-reaching Sword Qi had soared to three million Spirit Stones.

"Three million five hundred thousand!"

Gu Lin’s rage had reached its limit, teetering on the edge of anger.

Every time he spoke, his voice contained a terrifying killing intent, making those who heard it sense Gu Lin’s fury.

"Sir, don’t you think you’re going too far? To contend head-on with my Ancient Desolate Sect, do you really think my Ancient Desolate Sect has no one else?"

Gu Lin said coldly.

"I’ll give you a chance; withdraw now, and I can spare you a way out. Continue fighting, and you’re courting death!"

Gu Lin’s words were a blatant threat, arrogant and imperious, attempting to seal one’s fate with a single statement.

"Is that so? Do the people of the Ancient Desolate Sect only know how to use their sect as a shield? The auction has its rules, the highest bidder wins. As Chu has said before, those without money, those beggars, should roll back to the Central Region!"

Chu Fengmian didn’t bother with courtesy and coldly declared.

"Four million Spirit Stones!"

Once again, Chu Fengmian shouted out an even higher price, directly suppressing Gu Lin’s bid.

"Damn it! I’m going to kill him!"

Never before had Gu Lin encountered such mockery.

His anger was so intense it felt like it could destroy everything in the world.

Even though the presence of sealing enchantments in the private box was strong enough to contain it, Gu Lin’s fury nonetheless seeped out.

Gu Lin slammed his palm down, and the throne he was sitting on turned to dust. His body nearly left the private box, ready to find Chu Fengmian and slay him.

"Ancient Elder Brother, our objective at this auction is still the fragment of the Supreme Immortal Soldier. We cannot afford to fall out with Sky-reaching Pavilion just yet."

An Ancient Desolate Sect disciple by Gu Lin’s side quickly came forward to plead.

"Hmph!"

At the mention of the Supreme Immortal Soldier, the rage on Gu Lin’s face gradually dissipated, and he regained some composure.

"Correct, the sect’s business is of utmost importance. After all, this kid is a dead man walking. No matter how much wealth he acquires, it will ultimately fall into my hands," Gu Lin said with contained fury.

With a gesture of his hand, the destroyed throne reassembled itself, and he sat down once more.

The price of four million was already astronomical.

The Sky-reaching Sword Qi then disappeared from the stand, and shortly after, Luo Xi brought the Sky-reaching Sword Qi into private box number ten and handed it over.

Chu Fengmian waved his hand and numerous top-grade Spirit Stones appeared, transforming into a cluster and flying straight toward Luo Xi, who then left with them.

"This Sky-reaching Sword Qi truly is of high quality, likely a special legacy left by the Sky-reaching Sword Venerable for the Sky-reaching Pavilion," Chu Fengmian remarked as he examined the Sky-reaching Sword Qi and could tell its exceptional quality.

Although the price of four million Spirit Stones was steep, it was indeed worth it.

"Bai Xuan, you should begin refining this Sky-reaching Sword Qi now. I will help take your Sword Dao to the next level," Chu Fengmian said, passing the Sky-reaching Sword Qi to Bai Xuan.

Bai Xuan took it and nodded, then unfolded the sealing of the Sky-reaching Sword Qi, and three strands of Sword Qi directly merged into her body.

Entering Bai Xuan’s body, the Sky-reaching Sword Qi merged with her Sword Dao, amalgamating together and causing a transformation in her Sword Dao.

However, the Sky-reaching Sword Qi was, after all, an external force, and only thirty percent of it could be integrated into Bai Xuan’s Sword Dao; the rest would be wasted.

"If this Sky-reaching Sword Qi could be fully refined, there would indeed be a potential to understand Sky-reaching Sword Venerable’s Sword Dao. In that case, I shall lend you a hand," Chu Fengmian said, watching Bai Xuan and stealthily making his move.

His stream of Sword Qi entered Bai Xuan’s body, turning into the Devouring Heaven Python, slithering within her and swallowing all streams of Sky-reaching Sword Qi to help condense her Sword Dao.

"Boom!"

In an instant, all three strands of Sky-reaching Sword Qi were devoured by Bai Xuan.

From Bai Xuan’s body emanated a sharp Sword Intent, swiftly coalescing.

Behind Bai Xuan, ninety-nine different strands of Sword Qi formed a diagram, bringing her Sword Dao close to minor completion with only one more strand of Sword Qi needed.

"With only one missing in the hundred, now I will assist you in completing this Sword Dao!"

Seeing this scene, Chu Fengmian’s mind stirred, and the Devouring Heaven Python also merged into Bai Xuan’s body.

Within the diagram behind Bai Xuan, one hundred strands of Sword Qi fully converged, and her Sword Dao was finally completed.
