"What kind of treasure is this? It even glows! Open it up and let us see!"
Treasure? Gu Changqing's eyes lit up as soon as he heard the word "treasure," and he was instantly unable to move. He was very curious and decided to go in and take a look.
Without saying a word, Gu Changqing eagerly went inside.
The house was magnificent and resplendent, with carved beams and painted rafters, and was incredibly grand. The walls were covered with exquisite carvings, and the floor was covered with high-end, classy floor tiles.
The room was very crowded and lively. Every guest was dressed in very stylish and tasteful clothes, with all sorts of exquisite patterns embroidered on them, making them look very high-end and sophisticated.
At this moment, an auctioneer was standing on the stage, auctioning off a treasure.
The treasure was contained in a red wooden box, but it still shone brightly with a purple light, looking extremely mysterious.
The audience members below the stage were all discussing what kind of treasure it was.
"Hurry up and open it, stop keeping us in suspense!" a customer urged impatiently.
Gu Changqing and his companion found an empty seat and sat down, waiting for the auctioneer to open the wooden box.
Amidst the eager anticipation of the crowd, the auctioneer slowly opened the wooden box, gradually revealing the contents inside.
A divine sword appeared in everyone's sight, radiating a purple glow. As the sword was drawn, a powerful and terrifying aura swept over them. Its sword intent was shimmering, and one could feel its unparalleled sharpness with just a glance.
It is—the Purple Light Sword!!!
The moment Jiang Qingcheng saw the Purple Light Sword, her heart stirred, and her eyes were filled with longing; she was instantly captivated.
"My lord, this sword is truly magnificent. I have never seen such a powerful sword before," Jiang Qingcheng said, her heart pounding with excitement.
"Since my wife likes this sword so much, shall I bid for it?" Gu Changqing said with a smile.
He thought to himself: That sword is indeed excellent; I must get my hands on it.
"Okay, sure." Jiang Qingcheng nodded repeatedly in agreement.
"Could this be the legendary Purple Light Sword?" a guest in the crowd exclaimed in surprise.
"Young man, you have a good eye. You guessed it right away," the auctioneer said with a smile.
“He knows, but we don’t. Why don’t you hurry up and tell us in detail about the origin of this sword?” another man urged, full of curiosity.
"This Purple Light Sword is a treasure left behind in the mortal realm when the Wind God fell in ancient times. It caused a sensation throughout the Nine Heavens Realm and a huge uproar. Both righteous sects and demonic cultivators sent people to search for it, but after searching for many years, no one could find it. They were all very regretful and had no choice but to give up. They thought that this treasure had disappeared from the world. Unexpectedly, it was found by an old farmer. The old farmer didn't know its value and had no use for it, so he sold it. After several twists and turns, it has finally appeared in the auction house. You have really come to the right place today. Just feasting your eyes is worth it. Alright, enough talk. Let's start the auction for the Purple Light Sword." The auctioneer spoke slowly and deliberately.
As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, people started bidding.
"I'll offer one hundred million top-grade spirit stones!"
"I'll offer three hundred million top-grade spirit stones!!"
"I'll offer six hundred million top-grade spirit stones!"
…………
"I'll offer 1.6 billion top-grade spirit stones!"
"I'll offer 1.7 billion top-grade spirit stones!"
"I'll offer 1.8 billion top-grade spirit stones!"
"I'll offer 1.8 billion and 1 top-grade spirit stone!"
"I'll offer 1.8 billion and 100 million top-grade spirit stones!"
The bidding was fierce, but Gu Changqing showed no interest in making a bid and instead watched the show with an air of detached amusement.
Moments later, the Purple Light Sword was offered a price of 1.8 billion and 10 billion.
From then on, the price increased little by little.
Looks like it can't be increased any further!
At this point, the auctioneer said, "If no one bids, this Purple Light Sword will belong to this man."
But they didn't say anything, as if they had given up and tacitly agreed.
Just then!
Gu Changqing smiled slightly and said smugly, "I am willing to offer 3 billion top-grade spirit stones!"
These words stunned everyone present, including Jiang Qingcheng.
Everyone turned to look at Gu Changqing, their eyes wide with disbelief. They were shocked, stunned, and speechless, unable to react for a long time.
Holy crap, that's awesome! Rich and carefree, what a tycoon!
Oh my god, did I hear that right? Is there something wrong with my ears?
Holy crap, there's always someone better! They're incredibly generous!
Three billion is a lot of money for them. Even if their family is well-off, they certainly cannot come up with that much money all at once.
But in Gu Changqing's eyes, 3 billion was a small amount, not worth mentioning, and he didn't care about it at all, nor did he feel any heartache. What he had in abundance right now was spirit stones.
"My guest, are you really willing to offer 3 billion top-grade spirit stones?" The auctioneer was the first to react, and then asked with great uncertainty.
"Of course I'm sure, it's just 3 billion spirit stones, which I can afford," Gu Changqing said with a faint smile, seemingly unconcerned.
Only then did everyone realize what was happening, and they began to discuss it amongst themselves.
"My goodness, they really are rich and powerful, even their words are so arrogant!"
"Who says otherwise? Two billion is more than enough to take it over, but they insisted on paying an extra 1 billion. They're incredibly wealthy!"
"Damn it, why didn't I get that billion? I'm desperate for money, please beg me to come and beg for help!"
...
At the same time, upon receiving confirmation, the auctioneer was overjoyed, his face beaming with delight, his smile so wide it was almost invisible, and he excitedly exclaimed:
"I hereby declare this Purple Light Sword to be the property of this guest."
Then the auctioneer rushed over to Gu Changqing and solemnly handed the Purple Light Sword to him.
Gu Changqing smiled faintly and said, "I will pay for it, and my wife can keep the sword for me."
"Don't worry, my husband, I will take good care of it." Jiang Qingcheng quickly took the Purple Light Sword, carefully holding it in her hands, looking at it again and again with great affection.
"What do you mean by 'keeping'? It's a gift for you. I've never formally given you anything presentable before, and today is just the right day. This sword suits you perfectly," Gu Changqing said sincerely.
Although this treasure is very good, Gu Changqing saw that his wife liked it so much, so he simply gave it to her as a token of his affection.
He then took out 3 billion top-grade spirit stones from his storage ring and piled them on the auction stage.
Instantly, the platform was piled high with spirit stones, emitting a dazzling light.
Everyone stared in disbelief, their eyes wide open, their jaws dropping in astonishment.
My goodness, this is the first time in my life I've seen so many spirit stones. It's made my life worthwhile.
