Emperor Qiankun

Chapter 442 Working Together to Retrieve the Immortal Sword?

Also at this time.

Yue Qinghuan was even more decisive, taking out the Purple Gold Card from the Treasure Pavilion directly.

The card contained a full 500,000 top-grade mystic crystals, gleaming with dazzling light.

A slight smile played on her lips as she said confidently:

"As the eldest daughter of the Treasure Pavilion, I certainly have the financial resources."

"Young Master Li, I hope this Purple Gold Card will help you successfully obtain the Immortal Sword."

"But don't forget our friendship in the future."

Even Yu Yangzi, this seemingly impoverished old man dressed in tattered clothes.

At this moment, he "reluctantly" took out nearly 100,000 top-grade Xuan Crystals!

As he slowly took out the Xuanjing crystal, he said to himself:

"Hmph, you brat, you know how to seize an opportunity."

"However, this immortal sword is indeed a good thing... but I can't miss this opportunity to observe it."

"Consider these 100,000 Xuan Crystals a loan; you'll have to repay them with interest later..."

"By the way, you also need to lend me that 'Blood Soul Evil Pearl' for a while to study."

"I'll pay you back once you've paid off your debts."

Li Qingyuan felt somewhat helpless upon hearing Yu Yangzi's words.

But right now, nothing is more important than the Qixia Sword, and he has a reason to acquire it!

Therefore, he agreed to Yu Yangzi's conditions without hesitation.

......

at the same time.

Even the seemingly unassuming Jiang Nan seemed to sense Li Qingyuan's urgency.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, a meaningful smile appearing on his lips, thinking to himself:

"This Li Musu is quite a sentimental person, losing his composure for the sake of the Legend of Sword and Fairy."

"If I lend a helping hand now and befriend him, it might be of some help to me in the future."

So, he took out two spatial rings and calmly told Li Qingyuan that each contained 100,000 top-grade Xuan Crystals.

Li Qingyuan couldn't help but gasp.

He never imagined that Jiang Nan, the seemingly unassuming young man who had only sat and admired the treasures, exuding an air of scholarly refinement, would possess such strength!

He secretly guessed in his heart:

"It seems that Jiang Nan has a very important background. He is probably a direct descendant of the family and has a high status."

"Now that he's taking the initiative to be friendly, I naturally can't be coy."

So he decisively wrote an IOU and agreed to it:

"Brother Jiang, if you ever need anything in the future, I will do my utmost to help you if it is within my power..."

Only then did he solemnly accept the spatial ring offered by the other party.

Jiang Nan simply smiled and didn't say anything more.

His main reason for doing so was that he saw Li Qingyuan as a person of strong emotions, and therefore he wanted to befriend her.

As for what will happen in the future, no one can say for sure, and there's no need to explain it too clearly.

......

------

At this point, Li Qingyuan now possesses far more than one million top-grade Xuan Crystals, reaching an astonishing 1.2 million.

In his opinion, this number should be more than enough to take down the Qixia Sword.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of confidence and anticipation in his gaze, as he secretly calculated in his mind:

"Unless... those top-tier powers or ancient families shamelessly unite and pool their resources to bid."

"Even so, it will be difficult to determine who will own the Immortal Sword after that."

"After all, there's only one Immortal Sword, and neither side will easily give in..."

However, even so, considering the sheer number of mystic crystals currently available...

Li Qingyuan also felt that he had a good chance of winning and that the chances of winning the Legend of Sword and Fairy were very high.

But he also knew in his heart that once he obtained the immortal sword, trouble would likely follow.

Those forces will not let this go easily, even though he has been using the conch shell to transmit his quotes and trying to hide his identity.

But this place is the Northern Underworld Dragon Palace, a true dragon's den and tiger's lair, teeming with experts and employing endless tricks.

Someone will definitely find out where they came from.

His brow furrowed, his expression grew serious, and he thought worriedly:

"Even with the top young ladies from the three major forces—Su Yaoyue, Yue Qinghuan, and Wang Anran—they can only exert their influence temporarily, not permanently."

"After all, money can move people's hearts, let alone a supreme treasure like the Immortal Sword!"

Therefore, it is inevitable that some soldiers will take risky and treacherous actions, and engage in looting.

"My actions have put myself, Su Yaoyue, and the others in the spotlight, making us the target of public criticism..."

But at the moment, he really had no other choice.

He can't just go and steal the Legend of Sword and Fairy, can he?

Even if he did have the ability, it would be very difficult for him to succeed.

The old tortoise Xuancang was now staring intently at the immortal sword.

It's like guarding the most precious treasure in the world.

Anyone who dares to act recklessly will likely be smashed to pieces by his enormous tortoise shell.

He sighed helplessly, a hint of determination in his eyes:

"Well, now that we've come this far, there's no reason to back down."

"For the sake of the Qixia Sword, I will brave any danger, even if it means facing mountains of knives and seas of fire."

"At worst, we can just be more careful in dealing with the retaliation from those forces in the future!"

......

And at this time.

The atmosphere in the arena grew increasingly heated, like a pot of boiling water, constantly radiating intense energy.

The price has soared to 780,000 top-grade Xuanjing!

This number is like a dazzling shooting star streaking across the night sky, breathtaking and awe-inspiring.

Such an astronomical price is unprecedented and will never be repeated!

As for whether there will be higher offers in the future.

That remains to be seen, depending on who ultimately acquires this immortal sword.

And at what astonishing price will it be sold...?

Undoubtedly, this year's Wanbao Grand Ceremony has been given unprecedented brilliance by the appearance of the Qixia Sword.

It is like a dazzling pearl, inlaid on the stage of the Wanbao Grand Ceremony.

Let's make this event even more prestigious than ever before!

Moreover, the increase was far from insignificant; it could be described as a doubling of growth.

Even after the Grand Ceremony of Ten Thousand Treasures comes to an end, the cultivators of the Central Plains will still talk about it with great interest for years to come.

After all, who wouldn't be amazed by such a breathtaking scene?

Who wouldn't be impressed by the grand scale of the Northern Underworld Dragon Palace?

That scene will surely become a legendary tale passed down through the ages in the cultivation world of Zhongzhou.

......

In fact, when the Qixia Sword emitted that dreamlike and dazzling glow...

It seemed that a wisp of the weapon's spirit was faintly surging within the sword, not yet completely dissipated.

A strong impulse surged within Xuancang, and he wished he could immediately retrieve the sword and end the auction!

Previously, he thought the immortal sword was already "useless"!

It was just a broken sword that had lost its former glory, which was why it was put up for auction in exchange for some resources.

But to everyone's surprise, such an unexpected turn of events occurred.

This seemingly "broken" immortal sword actually shows signs of regaining its vitality.

However, he is currently in a predicament, as if he were being roasted over a fire.

If he dares to rashly retract the sword, he will likely be drowned in the spittle of the crowd in an instant!

The Northern Underworld Dragon Palace will be infamous for this, becoming a laughingstock in the Central Plains.

After all, going back on one's word in full view of everyone is a blatant violation of auction rules and a disrespect to all participants!

Xuan Cang secretly weighed the pros and cons, and the idea of ​​"you can't catch a wolf without risking your cub" kept flashing through his mind.

For the future of the Northern Underworld Dragon Palace, and to maintain its current prestige and status in the Central Plains...

He ultimately resisted the urge to reach out and retrieve the immortal sword, and could only watch helplessly as the auction continued.

Even Ao Ni Chang, a woman who usually exudes a cool and aloof aura and is like a fairy descended from heaven, had a gleam in her eyes at this moment.

Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her eyes sparkled with an indescribable light.

In that radiance, there was a longing for the Qixia Sword, an awe of the celestial treasure, and an irrepressible excitement.

This is an absolute treasure, undoubtedly a true celestial artifact!

It exudes a mysterious and powerful aura, as if it contains endless mysteries and power.

If you miss this opportunity, you may never have another chance to encounter such a priceless treasure!

The cultivators present felt an unbearable burning heat in their hearts, as if a flame was raging in their chests.

They knew that this was a top-tier auction that would go down in the history of Central China, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Everyone stared intently at the Qixia Sword, their eyes filled with greed and longing.

It's like they'll seize any opportunity to acquire it without hesitation!
