I Truly Am The Villian - Chapter 2372
Chapter 2372: Chapter 2371: Void Stone, Divine Ruins’ Number One Sword
“His name is Qiu Jueming. His father is the Alliance Hierarch of the Left Alliance of the Myriad Immortals Alliance. His position as Vice Alliance Hierarch is basically that of an heir apparent.”
Xu Zimei took a look.
This Qiu Jueming was about one meter seventy or so, hawk-like eyes sweeping the surroundings, dressed in a long cyan robe.
And beside Qiu Jueming, there was still a man with a skull-like appearance.
This skull man was called “Skull” because he seemed to have no flesh on him.
Just a layer of skin wrapping the bones.
That was what “skin and bones” meant.
He looked skinny to the extreme, bones protruding, eye sockets sunken, breathing weakly.
Just standing there like that, he was extremely creepy.
“He’s the young master of the Skull Commerce Association, named Lu Yun,” Zhu Yunlong introduced one by one at the side.
“And that woman over there, she’s the Chief Leader of the Left Alliance of the Myriad Immortals Alliance. She definitely didn’t get there by connections.”
“She’s hailed as the Divine Ruins’ Number One Sword, named Xue Zhiqing.”
When he mentioned this name, even Zhu Yunlong’s eyes were full of admiration.
It was clear that this woman’s reputation among the younger generation of the Divine Ruins was extremely great.
The woman wore a tight-fitting outfit, black clothes as dark as ink, her long hair tied up behind her head, not a strand loose at her temples.
From a glance you could tell she did things with extreme rigor, the meticulous kind.
…
Xu Zimei wasn’t concerned about the others.
He simply looked at the old man under the cattail tree and asked, “That’s the Old Ghost?”
Zhu Yunlong hurriedly nodded.
“My lord, this Old Ghost is not simple. It’s said his strength is unfathomable. In his courtyard, if anyone violates the rules, even someone from the Myriad Immortals Alliance will be killed on the spot.”
When the Old Ghost’s auction first started, there were indeed people who tried to rely on their status to oppress others.
They wanted to seize the Old Ghost’s auction items.
But the Old Ghost didn’t show a shred of mercy and killed them directly on the spot.
And the people he killed all had very high status.
Yet, for some reason, the forces behind them never came seeking revenge.
Over time, stories of the Old Ghost’s unfathomable strength gradually spread.
Seeing that almost everyone had arrived, with about a dozen or so people present, the Old Ghost waved his big hand and immediately closed the courtyard gate.
The quota for the auction ended there.
Only to see the Old Ghost lift his head, revealing a stern, chilling face.
His skin was a waxy yellow, only a row of white teeth exposed outside.
“Everyone, since almost all are here, let’s officially begin our auction.”
“Old Ghost, I heard you excavated a Divine Monarch’s tomb. Is it true?” Qiu Jueming couldn’t help asking impatiently from the side.
The reason the Old Ghost Courtyard was famous was because the things he auctioned were all extremely precious.
From this, you could also tell that the Old Ghost’s tomb-raiding skills were first-rate.
Otherwise, how could he possibly have so many rare ancient items?
“A Divine Monarch’s tomb, huh,” someone nearby exclaimed.
You had to know that the Divine Race’s treasures were incredibly abundant.
Moreover, the Divine Race had always had burial customs.
Their life-bound treasures generally wouldn’t be left outside, but would be buried with them in their tombs.
So tomb raiding was definitely a very promising line of work.
The treasures and precious Cultivation Techniques inside were things you couldn’t find anywhere else.
After all, the Divine Race’s rule over the Kun Ruins Domain was unimaginably strict; even a single Cultivation Method was something outsiders could hardly ever find.
As for Qiu Jueming’s question, the Old Ghost didn’t answer head-on.
Instead he said, “Here I only trade item for item. Vice Alliance Hierarch Qiu, have you prepared your goods?”
“Naturally,” Qiu Jueming replied with full confidence.
The Old Ghost nodded slightly.
He waved his hand, and seven items were taken out at once.
The first item was an iron hammer.
The iron hammer looked no larger than a palm.
But when the Old Ghost held it in his hand, the iron hammer could actually change size at will.
At its largest, the hammer was even a hundred meters tall; otherwise it couldn’t be lifted at all.
“The Heaven Shaking Hammer,” Xue Zhiqing frowned slightly.
She said in surprise, “Did you rob the Heaven-Shaking Divine Monarch’s tomb?”
“Young lady has good eyes,” the Old Ghost nodded slightly, tacitly admitting it.
You had to know that in each era, the Divine Race had only twenty Divine Monarchs, but who knew how many eras had already passed by now.
Both the deceased and the still-living Divine Monarchs added up to a huge number.
For Xue Zhiqing to be able to guess the owner’s identity just from a single weapon was truly impressive.
“This Heaven Shaking Hammer bears a total of Sixteen Divine Patterns. Although six Divine Patterns have already worn away, it can still unleash most of its power.”
The Old Ghost spoke calmly.
“I want to trade this Heaven Shaking Hammer for a piece of Treasure Medicine with a Mysterious Ice Attribute.”
Hearing this, the few people exchanged glances.
Qiu Jueming waved his hand, and someone beside him immediately presented a white box.
“I’ll trade!”
The white box was thrown over. The Old Ghost caught the box, opened a small slit, and took a quick look.
A frozen white mist instantly spilled out from within.
“Good!”
Confirming that the item was correct, the Old Ghost nodded directly.
The next moment, he took out another item.
“The Armor of Strength, once the battle armor of the Heaven-Shaking Divine Monarch. However, under the corrosion of time, few Divine Patterns remain on this item.”
“In exchange for a General Level Treasure Medicine,” the Old Ghost continued.
Everyone was somewhat astonished.
They hadn’t expected that this time, all the Old Ghost wanted in his auction were Treasure Medicines.
And all of them with a Mysterious Ice Attribute.
Could it be that he wanted to refine some kind of Pills?
As item after item was auctioned off, Xu Zimei never bid.
After all, to him, these things were hard to stir up any interest.
Finally, when the last auction item was brought out—
Xu Zimei narrowed his eyes slightly.
Not because the item itself was so good, but because it was somewhat special.
“This is a Void Stone. It can be fused into the body, or used in artifact forging.”
The Old Ghost looked at the Stone no larger than a fingernail in his hand.
He spoke with great solemnity: “For this Stone, I want to trade for a Divine Monarch-level Holy Healing Medicine.”
“Void Stone,” at the sound of this name, the venue erupted.
Even Zhu Yunlong was breathing heavily, staring fixedly at the Void Stone in the Old Ghost’s hand.
Though it was only the size of a fingernail, the significance it carried was incomparable.
“My lord, this is a good thing,” Zhu Yunlong said.
“Human strength has its limits, but with the help of this Stone, you might be able to gain inexhaustible power.”
The Void Stone’s function was very simple.
But this one simple thing was enough to stir up a great storm.
Because within a Void Stone, you could store a single type of attribute power, and then release it with a hundredfold amplification.
To put it more simply, it was an amplification divine artifact.
Moreover, the stronger you were, the stronger its amplification would be. It was the kind of treasure without an upper limit.
“How could the Old Ghost possibly take out something like this to sell?”
This left Zhu Yunlong rather puzzled.
Although trading it for a Divine Monarch-level item wasn’t exactly a loss—
Void Stones were clearly things that had a price but no market.
