Lord of Bones

Chapter 746: Qingxutu Fragments

The outer hall of the auction hall is spacious.

Huge cloud-patterned light curtains are hung all around, like clouds in the sky that are carefully woven, emitting a soft light.

On the light curtain, light and shadow interweave, and countless auction items that are about to appear are displayed one by one.

From rare materials to uncommon ingots, there is a lot to see.

Li Yuanchu took a quick glance and did not find any rare treasures that could excite his heart.

He also knew that the essence of an auction lies in the expectation of the unknown.

The treasures hidden in the bottom of the box often trigger thrilling battles for them.

Some powerful forces have already known all the treasures that have not been revealed through their own channels.

The arrival of these forces will undoubtedly add more variables to the auction event.

Li Yuan's gaze slowly moved among the crowd, and finally fixed on a group of Yuanists wearing purple-red robes.

This group of Yuan masters have extraordinary temperaments, and their every move reveals an indescribable dignity and arrogance.

Especially the young man in the center, with a handsome face and an extraordinary heroic spirit between his brows.

The occasional fluctuations of his energy, though only tiny, were enough to create invisible ripples in the surrounding air, showing his cultivation level at the peak of the Half-Step Transformation Realm.

Moreover, the depth of his aura is far beyond that of an ordinary Half-Step Transformation Realm peak cultivator. Even Shui Qing, the great elder of Shuiyun Peak of Tianyun Sect, can hardly reach it.

"This person is extraordinary. He has such cultivation and aura at such a young age. Guxiao City is indeed a place where heroes emerge in large numbers." Li Yuan murmured softly.

"Although the forces in Guxiao City are not weak, they cannot cultivate such a genius." Mu Li said with a hint of complex emotions that were not easily detected, "He is the direct disciple of an old ancestor of Xuesha Lake, Xue Yinchen.

"Rumor has it that he is very likely to become the next powerful person in the Blood Demon Lake to enter the Transformation Realm."

"Xue Yinchen..." Li Yuan repeated the name, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Mu Li with an inquiring look, "You seem to be quite familiar with this genius?"

Mu Li's face changed slightly when she heard this, but she quickly returned to normal and explained:
“I used to be in the Mu lineage of Shuiyun Peak of Tianyun Sect. My power far exceeded that of ordinary elders. As part of my duties, I needed to understand the geniuses of the seven Wenhe sects.

"The name of Xue Yinchen is naturally known."

Li Yuan was even more curious about Mu Li's identity, but he remained calm on the surface and just nodded slightly, as if he suddenly understood.

Xue Yinchen seemed to sense some subtle gaze and his steps suddenly stopped, as if the air had frozen.

Those eyes, as cold as ice and without any emotion, accurately captured the direction where Li Yuan was. A hint of doubt quietly emerged between his brows like morning mist.

Li Yuan noticed this subtle change, then retracted his gaze, turned to Mu Li, and said softly: "Today's auction is truly a gathering of heroes and strong people.

"Mu Li, you have a wide range of knowledge. Why don't you introduce me to something so that I, a country boy, can also broaden my horizons."

Hearing this, Mu Li raised the corners of her mouth slightly and gently passed her fingers around the hair by her ears. Her elegance was particularly eye-catching in the crowd.

She nodded slowly and began to introduce to Li Yuan one by one the powerful forces and geniuses who had entered the auction hall.

Behind every name, there is a legend and glory, which made Li Yuan fascinated and broadened his horizons.

All of these forces are the best in Wenhe. They all have special privileges and do not need to queue up. They are directly led in by special personnel.

When the last group of powerful forces entered the venue, Mu Li signaled Li Yuan to follow.

She took out a crystal clear white token from her ring. It was engraved with intricate and mysterious patterns and glowed softly under the light.

The guard took the token, checked it carefully, and respectfully made way.

Li Yuan and his companion successfully entered the auction hall.

Passing through a series of heavy stone doors, they came to a dimly lit corridor.

At the end of the corridor, a huge stone door slowly opened, revealing a teleportation array leading to an unknown area.

As I stepped into the teleportation array, a slight noise was heard.

Then they crossed the barrier of space and came to a shocking auction venue.

The scale of the auction venue was beyond Li Yuan's imagination.

The entire venue is paved with countless pieces of cloud-patterned jade. Each piece of jade emits a faint fluorescence, interweaving into a dazzling galaxy, making the entire auction hall look like a dream.

The auction seats are neatly distributed around the room, spacious and comfortable enough to accommodate several people.

The auction platform located in the center of the venue is even more magnificent, carved entirely from jade.

It is inlaid with various gems, sparkling with dazzling light, like the soul of the entire auction house.

At this moment, the auction hall was bustling with people, and strong people from all directions gathered together, looking forward to the auction feast that was about to begin.

The air was also filled with tension and anticipation, as if an invisible battle was about to take place on this dazzling field.

Muli raised the crystal clear white token in her hand and waved it gracefully to a maid with outstanding temperament and beautiful face not far away.

Seeing this, the maid quickened her pace and came over. Her eyes swept across the token with an undisguised look of surprise. Then she humbly whispered:

"Dear top guest, please allow me to lead the way for you."

Led by the maid, Li Yuan and his companion walked through the magnificently decorated corridors.

Finally, the maid stopped at a very advantageous position, pointed to a chair next to her that was three meters wide with a smile, then bowed respectfully and left.

Li Yuan walked leisurely into the luxurious seat and sank into the soft chair, as if the hustle and bustle of the whole world was isolated from him.

Mu Li sat down beside him, skillfully mobilizing the energy in her body and with a slight wave, a subtle light suddenly lit up on the table in front of her, accompanied by a slight crackling sound.

A transparent energy barrier slowly rose up, lifting their seats steadily to a height of more than ten feet above the auction platform.

Looking down from this height, you can have a panoramic view of the entire auction hall.

Li Yuan discovered that there were many similar suspended seats around, like stars in the sky, each emitting a soft light, and each was cleverly separated by a Yuan Array barrier to ensure privacy.

The ordinary Yuan people below naturally cannot get a glimpse of the VIP world floating in the air.

Therefore, when Li Yuan entered the auction hall, he did not see these seats floating in the air.

Li Yuan's eyes inadvertently swept across one of the VIP seats in the auction hall, where Xue Yinchen, the disciple directly taught by the ancestor of Xuesha Lake, was sitting. There was a hint of complexity and strangeness in his eyes, as if he had penetrated many obstacles and locked directly on him.

No, to be precise, it was Muli who was beside him.

Mu Li frowned slightly, and faced with the unusual gaze, she did not make any move, but responded with an extremely indifferent attitude.

Then, she whispered to Li Yuan, "It will take a while for the auction to start, so you might as well take a break."

After saying this, Mu Li slowly closed her eyes, as if isolating the disturbances from the outside world from her heart.

Xue Yinchen retracted his gaze. The middle-aged woman beside him saw this and lowered her voice, asking with a bit of curiosity and caution: "Brother Yinchen, did you find anything?"

With a light sigh, Xue Yinchen said with a barely perceptible solemnity, "I didn't expect that even Wei Mo'er is here.

"It will probably be very difficult to bid for that item this time." "Wei Mo'er?" The middle-aged woman heard this and a hint of surprise flashed across her face, "Didn't she die from injuries in the battle between the ancestors of the Qianchi Sect and their disciples?
"This news is spreading like wildfire in Wenhe."

Xue Yinchen shook his head, his eyes cold: "When Wei Moer showed his talent in Wenhe, he was already a strong man at the peak of the Half-Step Huawen Realm.

"She is mysterious in Qianchi Sect. Except for a few high-ranking officials, no disciples or elders have seen her true appearance.

“There are also rumors that she is proficient in the art of refining Chi, and has reached an astonishing level. She has refined three twelfth-grade high-level Chi.

“She is wholeheartedly pursuing the realm of a Tianchi master, and the final item for auction today is not only a rare material for refining spiritual treasures, but also an indispensable key material for refining Tianchi.

"Whether she is really Wei Mo'er or not, I am determined to get that thing."

The middle-aged woman heard this and a cold smile appeared on her lips: "Brother Yinchen, don't worry, we have already secretly laid a trap.

“Whoever takes that picture will never be able to leave Lonely Sky City.

"Even Wei Moer can't escape our clutches."

Xue Yinchen nodded, his worries slightly reduced. He turned his gaze to the auction platform made of jade, with anticipation in his eyes.

Not only in the Blood Evil Lake, but also in the surrounding VIP seats, the whispers between the major forces seemed to be hinting at the final item of the auction in every word.

Time passed slowly, and the tension and expectation in the air seemed to be stretched to the extreme by an invisible string.

"clang--"

Suddenly, a clear and melodious bell sounded like the sound of nature, penetrating the noise and echoing throughout the auction hall.

All the noise gradually subsides, leaving only silence.

Muli's beautiful eyes slowly opened at this moment, revealing irrepressible excitement and anticipation in her eyes.

"clang--"

The clear chimes of the bells rang out again, like morning bells and evening drums, awakening the desires in the hearts of every Yuanzhe.

Countless pairs of eyes, as hot as torches, were cast towards the auction platform.

"Haha, my dear guests, it seems you can't wait any longer."

On the auction platform, an old woman in white clothes and with frosty silver hair walked out slowly. She had a warm smile and her words were concise and powerful.

“In Guxiao City, the auction held by Xiaoyun Pavilion has always been famous for its rare items.

"Today, I promise that I will not let you down.

"I declare that the Xiaoyun Pavilion's annual auction will begin now."

Without any further ado, the silver-haired old woman was obviously an experienced auctioneer. She knew very well that everyone present was no ordinary person and there was no need for excessive courtesy.

As the words fell, a blinding light suddenly burst out from the auction table, like a star exploding, instantly illuminating the entire venue.

In the strong light, a folding fan as white as jade slowly emerged, emitting a sharp luster all over, and every fan bone seemed to contain extraordinary power.

As the folding fan swayed gently, a chilly air filled the air.

All the Yuanists around stared with bated breath. Even the distinguished guests who had been sitting quietly leaned forward slightly, their eyes filled with greed and desire.

“This fan is called the Ice Jade Fan, and it is a rare treasure in the world.

"Its main texture is carefully selected from a unique piece of ice jade carved from the depths of a 10,000-year-old glacier. The jade is crystal clear and contains the essence of ice soul, which makes you feel cold when you touch it.

"The fan bones are carefully made from the spine of the sixth-level monster Frost Dragon.

"The fan is made of extremely rare ice silk, woven with a secret method. It is as thin as smoke, yet extremely tough."

Inside the auction hall, the brilliant lights seemed to be affected by the chill emanating from the folding fan. They froze slightly, with a hint of coolness mixed in the halo.

The Yuanists were either sitting or standing, their eyes flickering with desire and curiosity for the treasures.

The silver-haired old woman stood on the auction platform, holding a Hanbing Yuyun fan and gently shaking it.

In an instant, a crisp chill spread like ripples, and even the surrounding space seemed to solidify.

The tiny ice crystals on the fan flashed a dazzling and mysterious blue light as she moved, like stars in the night sky, leading all the visitors into a dream world of ice and beauty.

Mu Li looked at Li Yuan's calm expression, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth:
"The spiritual treasure Feather Flame Fan in your hand is already very rare in the world. I'm afraid this kind of earthly fan is not worthy of your attention, right?"

Li Yuan smiled slightly but said nothing.

He has a lot of treasures on him, and ordinary treasures are difficult to arouse his interest.

After the Ice Jade Fan was bought by a force that Mu Li didn't even recognize, one item after another was presented and the bidding became fierce.

Li Yuan just watched leisurely and never took any action.

Muli made several attempts and bought some nice items.

As items were sold one by one, time passed by little by little.

As the auction drew to a close, a truly stunning treasure quietly made its debut.

It was an ingot, or to be more precise, a fragment of an ingot.

"This is a fragment of the Qingxutu. It's much larger than the one that Qingmu Palace gave me."

Li Yuan was shocked, and the fragment in the ring seemed to react as well.

The silver-haired old woman slowly displayed the fragments to the crowd. Although they were covered with mottled marks left by the years, they could not conceal the tremendous power contained within them.

An ancient and mysterious aura permeated the air, causing every Yuan-Zhe present to feel an unprecedented sense of oppression, as if the rules of heaven and earth were changing at this moment.

Just as the people were discussing the fragments, something strange happened.

A mysterious man in black suddenly broke into the venue, aiming directly for the fragments of the Qingxutu.

Dozens of Half-Step Huawen Realm masters from Xiaoyun Pavilion joined forces to fight against the sudden powerful enemy.

The Yuan force is surging, and light and shadow are intertwined.

The man in black was quickly captured and the fragment of the Qingxu Tu was saved.

The man in black was subdued and taken away from the venue. The silver-haired old woman waved her sleeves lightly, as if nothing had just happened, and began to introduce the fragments.

Following her guidance, the gazes of all the beings were focused on the green fragment which was only three inches in size.

“You will definitely be able to sense the aura contained in the fragments.

“It goes beyond the category of the finest earth treasures and reveals an unattainable height.”

The silver-haired old woman's words were full of awe.

"If a mere fragment can unleash such astonishing power, then how earth-shattering would its complete form be?
"That is definitely not comparable to ordinary spiritual treasures. It may be a treasure lost in ancient times, or a miracle born naturally between heaven and earth..."
