585 Breakthrough To the Thousand Year King! (1/2)
Although these families currently did not have any Thousand Year King realm experts, they still had a legacy of over a thousand years. With such a long period of development, it was easy to imagine how deep their foundations were.
At this time, the King-grade cultivation technique had already caused the entire crowd to be unable to sit still. Everybody had red eyes and agitated looks on their faces as if they were gamblers that were staking everything they had on the largest bet of their life. Everyone wanted to get the item and let their own clansmen reach the Thousand Year King realm!
”80,000 high-grade spirit stones!” A loud roar rang out as a person cried out while waving his placard furiously.
”85,000!” another person cried out immediately after. As long as a Thousand Year King could be nurtured in their family, it would be completely worth the expenditure of these spirit stones!
”85,500!”
At this time, there were only three families left still bidding for the item. These three families were normally quite reserved, but this time, all their foundations had been revealed for the sake of acquiring the King-grade cultivation technique!
The three of them clung on desperately, none willing to give up. This was an opportunity that dropped from the heavens; it could not be missed so easily!
”90,000 high-grade spirit stones!”
At this time, the gaps between each bid had become much larger. As for Lu Baiyu, he simply stood to the side, not intending to hurry them at all, allowing the three families to bid freely.
”Ai, I give up.”
An old man sat back down on his chair feebly, his heart aching at the loss. This was a King-grade cultivation technique…! To think that it had slipped out of his hand just like that.
”Family Head Liao, I'm taking this cultivation technique! 91,000 high-grade spirit stones!”
”Hmph! You think that it's yours if you say so? 100,000 high-grade spirit stones!” A strange curve appeared on Liao Yang's lips as he gritted his teeth and roared out a terrifying number.
”What a huge bid! These three families' have hidden themselves too deeply!”
”These families are normally extremely low key, just as if they didn't even exist. Who would have thought that their foundations were actually so deep!”
”That is only to be expected. The City Lord Manor and the Zeng Family were two huge wolves that would never be satiated. If they'd stuck their heads out, they would undoubtedly have been swallowed up long ago.”
The other families discussed among themselves in low voice. This time, they had truly been greatly shocked. No one had expected that families that had been incredibly dazzling normally would suddenly be dominated so hard by these three families. It was as if they were on a completely different level.
At the same time, the eyes of many flickered with a strange light as they looked at the three families.
”Interesting… only, I wonder if their strength is as good as their financial power.”
”These three families had only floated out of the water now that the Zeng Family and the City Lord Manor have been destroyed. It's good like this as well; we'll let them go forward to try the waters for us first.”
Many people's eyes glowed red as they looked at them. These three families were truly too wealthy, causing others to have designs on them.
”Hmph, looks like I've still underestimated your Liao Family.”
The Qiu Family's old patriarch's face turned a strange shade of green and white. However, he did not raise his bid anymore.
100,000 high-grade spirit stones… even a Thousand Year King with weaker foundations would not necessarily be able to take such a sum out. It was easy to see just what a great fortune this was.
”Since there's no higher bid, this cultivation technique will go to the Liao Family. Everyone, please bring your number cards to the back of the stage to make the payment.”
Lu Baiyu sighed heavily and turned around. Although 100,000 high-grade spirit stones was a huge sum, he was somehow unable to feel happy.
The auction came to an end, without anyone daring to commit any kind of robbery. After all, the Zeng Family and the City Lord Manor had been a perfect example to ward off any who would have such designs.
”BOOM!”
All of a sudden, a loud bang rang out in the Lu Family's Manor. A huge tremor surged out, and countless wood fragments flew into the air, splintering in all directions. A terrifying pressure rose into the sky!
”What happened?!”
”Quick!”
Everyone within the Lu Family could feel the wave of energy, and quickly rushed in the direction of its source.
”Isn't this the room where Miss Buhui is cultivating in?!”
”Miss Buhui managed to break through? But why is this Qi so terrifying?”
The first to arrive was Lu Bu and the gang. They stood outside the collapsed hut, looking shocked.
Lu Buhui was only at the Hundred Year realm Third Layer before cultivation, so, theoretically speaking, her Qi should not reach such a high level.
One had to know that those guards were all Hundred Year realm Fourth Layer cultivators, so in order for them to feel threatened, the said Qi had to be very terrifying and powerful.
”Ta, ta!”
The sound of steps could be heard as Lu Buhui stepped out of the rubble, her body surging with powerful Qi.
”Congratulations on breaking through, Miss Buhui!” The guards bowed as they congratulated Lu Buhui.
”Ok, there's nothing else, so you may take your leave. General Lu, where is my grandfather?” Lu Buhui asked Lu Bu while dismissing the guards.
”Miss Buhui, Family Head is currently in seclusion, trying to break through.”
Lu Bu was actually feeling very happy as he could see that Lu Buhui's cultivation had reached the late stage of the Hundred Year realm Fourth Layer!
What was more amazing was the body of mixed blood Qi, sturdy and purer than an ordinary person's by many times!
Although it could not be compared to his own, it could be considered very outstanding. Cultivators at her level might not survive one of her attacks!
”Yeah, the entry exams are starting soon, so I shall return to school first. I have 80 percent confidence of entering the University of Tianmu.” Lu Buhui nodded before leaving.
