Death… And Me

Chapter 1315 - Years

Chapter 1315 - Years

Naturally, everyone was surprised to hear such a small number. However, they quickly recovered. They all knew that this item wouldn't be sold for such a low price at all. Sure enough, Cailin soon explained the reasoning behind the price. "Because it has been a very long time since we auctioned an item like this, we aren't entirely sure about its price. With that being said, it will be auctioned for whatever the price at the end is."

Cailin then smiled, saying, "However, there's a catch! Everyone will only have one chance of placing a bid, and you will have ten minutes to do so. After time runs out, the highest bid will win. Of course, those who want to shout out your bid can do so, but you will only be able to do so once as well."

Even the white robbed old man from before refrained from saying anything this time. Otherwise, some could simply cover his bid, and he wouldn't be able to place a new one. Instead, he started to ponder about how much he should offer. The Freezing Star Liquid wasn't going to be used by himself but his daughter. Nevertheless, he was willing to pay a very high price for it.

Rean then looked at Roan, who simply said in response to his glance, "You're the one in charge of our finances. It's up to you to decide how much you wanna fork up for it."

Rean shrugged his shoulders after hearing that. "The problem is that we will probably need to do some work to gain enough Divine Stones later. It might catch unnecessary attention as well. Are you fine with that?"

Roan nodded in response. "Fine."

Rean nodded after that and didn't hesitate before immediately sending his bid through the badge he received.

The rich people around obviously had conflicted expressions. Some wanted it so they could use it for themselves. Others wanted to give it to a junior or family member. Obviously, there were those who wanted it to be used as a trade object if needed in the future.

Time passed in a flash, and finally, Cailin called everyone's attention. "Time is up. Thank you, everyone, for your biddings. The winning bid value is... 43000 Rank Two Divine Stones! Congratulations to whoever placed that bid. You will be given the Freezing Star Liquid in the barracks at the back later. No one will know it was you who acquired it either."

Cailin then bowed to the public after that, telling everyone, "With this, we reached the end of our yearly Lost Realm Auction. Thank you for coming, and I hope to see you all next year."

Immediately, everyone who bid and won some of the items headed to the barracks of the auction at the back. Rean, naturally, did the same thing. It's just that he had a sad expression on his face. 'I bid all our remaining 27000 Rank Two Divine Stones. Other than that, there were only the Rank Three ones. However, in the end, I thought it would be too risky to show the Lanqueas Sect auctioneers that some Saint Realm cultivators like us had those things. Sorry, I shouldn't have hesitated.'

Roan shook his head, saying, 'I was also caught in the heat of the moment. Your logic was sound, so I have nothing to complain about. Besides, it seems like we've got one more item on our list of things to grab from the Lost Star Realm. We definitely can't leave that place without the Freezing Star Liquid. If we can grab our hands on another vial, we'll be able to cultivate our Star Bodies to Grade Four as soon as we get the Molten Divine Rock Flowers.'

Rean nodded and headed to the barracks together with Hurio. From the looks of it, Hurio also won something from the hundreds of items auctioned today. However, neither Rean nor Hurio asked what they got.

Around an hour later, Rean came back from the auction house, carrying the divine medicines and herbs that Roan bid for in the Dimensional Realm. Hurio came out around ten minutes after that before joining Rean and Roan once more. "Now then, shall we follow the crowd and enter the Lost Star Realm? Usually, they all wait for the auction to be over to enter en masse. That reduces the risk of falling into traps and other things there as there are too many people."

Rean and Roan obviously had nothing against it, nodding in response. "Alright, let's enter that place."

The Lost Star Realm was a separated dimension of the Realm of Gods, just like the twins' Dimensional Realm. Because of that, the entrance was, in fact, a gigantic spatial gate connected to that place. The impressive thing was that Rean couldn't see any formations keeping the spatial gate open. "How come it doesn't close?"

Hurio then explained, "From what I know, the Lanqueas Sect has nothing to do with it. To be more precise, the spatial gate was already here when the first batch of people arrived. It's kept open by the realm itself. Most likely, it's also part of those ancient formations I told you about."

Rean nodded in response and began to move with the people. There were tens of thousands of people entering at the same time, making it difficult for those inside to come out. It was always like this after the auction. Seeing that, Roan narrowed his eyes before jumping on Kentucky's back, telling them, "Come up, you two. That gate is more than big enough for us to fly above the crowd."

Rean and Hurio could see that cultivators at the Transition Realm and above were also flying there. Those with flying demon beasts also did the same thing. In the end, Hurio and Rean nodded and jumped on Kentucky before Kentucky took flight and headed to the spatial gate as well.

When they passed through, their vision blurred for a few seconds until finally, they arrived at the other side of the gate. "It sure looks big," Rean could not help but say, watching their bodies become more distant from the sky behind Kentucky's back.

Hurio nodded, saying, "It's normal for people to stay several years, or even decades, exploring this place.. You better have a lot of time in your hands because it won't take less than two or so years before we reach the depths of this realm."
