233: Lu Family Obtains Divine Corpse

At this auction, Ji Mo also saw some acquaintances.

Sun Emperor and Ice Emperor were together with a group of Imperial Rank experts. Sun Emperor and Ice Emperor were nodding to him, and he returned their smiles.

Little Dragon Girl was also standing with a few elders, the leader of whom was also an Imperial Rank expert, but only at the Middle Stage of the Imperial Rank.

Suddenly, Ji Mo detected several malicious gazes fixed on him. It was those people from the Lu Family. He ignored them completely; it was just impotent rage.

About a quarter of an hour later, everyone had arrived. A captivating and enchanting beauty, a true femme fatale, suddenly descended onto the auction stage.

Not only was she beautiful, but her cultivation was also at the sixth heaven of the Imperial Rank, which was undeniably powerful.

The appearance of this peerless beauty instantly quieted the noisy atmosphere, and everyone stared at her with fervent eyes.

Even Ji Mo couldn't help but take a few extra glances. This woman was indeed a femme fatale, reminding Ji Mo of Daji from Blue Star.

Suddenly, a small hand climbed onto Ji Mo's waist, bringing him back to his senses. Shangguan Yanran looked at him with watery eyes, her cherry lips slightly parted:

"Is she pretty?"

Even Yan Qingcheng looked at him with a hint of resentment, "I'm not inferior to her either!"

This made Ji Mo quite awkward! He began to speak nonsense with a straight face:

"I wasn't looking at her. I was wondering when the auction would begin."

"Hmph!" Shangguan Yanran didn't believe his lies.

Fortunately, the beautiful woman spoke in time, saving him.

"Thank you all for coming to support our Treasure Gathering Pavilion. This is our most grand auction ever. I am Yao Yao, the host of this auction."

"I also see many old friends and Seniors here. This is an honor for our Treasure Gathering Pavilion."

"A preliminary statement: during this auction, absolutely no one is allowed to use power to oppress others. There will be fair competition, and Old Master Fuzi will monitor the entire process.

Furthermore, once the auction begins, it will be enveloped by a Formation. No one may leave and must wait until the auction concludes to depart.

Also, no fighting is allowed on the island for any reason. Violators will be killed!"

The final word 'kill' was utterly domineering, forcing everyone to be cautious.

"Alright, without further ado, please look."

The peerless beauty opened her jade hand and gently waved it, causing a crystal coffin to appear out of thin air. Inside the coffin lay a mutilated corpse, with only one arm, one leg, and a small part of its skull remaining.

Even with runes covering the crystal coffin, it couldn't conceal the divine Law emanating from within the corpse.

Upon seeing this corpse, all the Imperial Rank experts went mad. Some even couldn't help but stir.

At this moment, the sound of reading echoed through the sky again, temporarily calming these almost frenzied individuals.

"This is indeed the corpse of a god, but it's at least a million years old. Its divinity has vanished, and its divine nature has faded. No wonder the Treasure Gathering Pavilion is putting it up for auction!"

Elder Mu's voice held a hint of regret and relief.

"Elder Mu, do you mean this divine corpse isn't very valuable?" Ji Mo asked, puzzled.

"Hmm, you can't say that. It's basically impossible for it to help someone become a god, but for Imperial Rank experts, keeping it to comprehend Law, Martial Skill, and Cultivation Technique is still very beneficial. With good luck, it's possible to comprehend some semi-divine skills."

"If you can get it, you should. If you can't, it doesn't really matter. You can see if there are any other treasures suitable for you later."

Elder Mu finally gave his conclusion, and Ji Mo thought the same. Although this item was a major treasure, it wasn't something he absolutely had to obtain.

On the auction stage, the woman smiled charmingly, her alluring voice spreading throughout the venue.

"Everyone, I believe you've seen it. This corpse constantly emits divine Law. After the appraisal by that expert, it is undoubtedly a divine corpse. However, it's too ancient. Whether one can achieve godhood through it depends on personal Opportunity, which we cannot guarantee."

"Alright, if you could guarantee it, I wouldn't dare to bid. Hurry up and start!" Before the woman could finish speaking, someone impatiently interrupted her.

The speaker was an arrogant middle-aged man, radiating sharp prowess with his fist intent soaring to the heavens. He was at the Peak of the eighth heaven of the Imperial Rank and paid no mind to the beauty on stage, who was capable of toppling nations. He seemed to be a man utterly devoted to the Martial Dao.

"Hehe... It seems our Fist Emperor Your Majesty is in a hurry. Then this little one won't waste any more words.

This auction has no specific rules; the highest bidder wins. Medicinal Pills, Martial Skills, weapons, Heaven And Earth Treasure, King-Grade Spirit Stones, and any other valuable items can be used as your bidding capital."

"Now, I announce that the auction officially begins!"

As the woman's voice fell, the auction house instantly became lively.

The people in the back rows were merely watching the excitement; all the bidding was done by those in the front.

"Five million Top-Grade Spirit Stones!"

An old man at the third heaven of the Imperial Rank was the first to speak.

"Whoa~"

The first bid shocked the onlookers. This amount was more than enough to buy several large archipelagos.

"What a joke, mere Top-Grade Spirit Stones are not worthy! This old man bids ten thousand King-Grade Spirit Stones." A black-robed old man spoke proudly.

"Five thousand King-Grade Spirit Stones, plus one Advanced Heaven Rank fist technique Secret Manual."

"Twenty thousand King-Grade Spirit Stones, plus one Advanced Heaven-rank Sword Technique Secret Manual."

"Five Top-Grade Spiritual Veins, three Emperor Weapons, ten Saint Rank virgins, one large archipelago, and a million servants."

...The bids climbed steadily, leaving the entire audience dumbfounded, realizing they were like frogs at the bottom of a well.

This made Ji Mo frown deeply; it seemed he had no choice but to give up. In the end, he didn't make a bid.

However, he did drool a bit over those riches. If they were given to him, who knew how rich he would become?

It probably wouldn't be difficult to become an Emperor instantly.

At this moment, Tiger Lord of the Lu Family spoke.

"The Lu Family offers three Imperial Rank Puppets, three large archipelagos from the tenth domain of the Boundless Sea, one hundred top-tier Saint Rank maids, one hundred thousand King-Grade Spirit Stones, ten Emperor Weapons, and ten Top-Grade Spirit Stone ore veins."

"Hiss!"

As this bid was announced, the auction hall, with its hundreds of thousands of people, instantly fell silent.

Everyone stared dumbfounded at the Lu Family. This attitude clearly showed they were determined to win, having invested heavily.

"Excellent, he most hoped that the Lu Family would get the divine corpse. If others got it, he would be too embarrassed to make a move. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?" Ji Mo thought with a hint of darkness in his heart.

He and Elder Mu exchanged glances and smiled, both understanding each other's thoughts.

As expected, although many people and forces competed for this divine corpse, they were still no match for the ancient Lu Family, which had a history of tens of thousands of years.

The divine corpse was eventually acquired by Tiger Lord.

Next, some other treasures were auctioned. Ji Mo successfully acquired two Heaven-rank Sword Technique Secret Manuals and also obtained one Heaven Rank saber technique Secret Manual for his father-in-Law.

It wasn't a wasted trip for Ji Mo and the others.
