Compared to Lu Yin and Lulu, Big Pao, Little Pao, and Big Pao were much more well-behaved. They could not use the medallion, so they had to pay for whatever they wanted. With their financial abilities, they still had to consider the price of the items they wanted.
"For the next item, please decide for yourselves whether or not it's worth purchasing, as no one knows what it's used for. All we can say is that this item came from the Astral Beast Domain." The auctioneer waved his hand, and a beautiful, tall, and pale woman walked out with a black box covered by a white cloth.
The auctioneer walked over and lifted the cloth.
A disgusting piece of flesh appeared before everyone's eyes. There were still traces of blood on it, and lightning occasionally flickered around it.
Everyone was confused. What was this?
The auctioneer covered the box with the white cloth again. "The auction will now begin. This is a piece of flesh that contains lightning. The starting price is 100 star essence."
Someone shouted from below, "Hey, do you think that you can just sell something for money? You don't even know what it's used for, and yet you're asking for 100 star essence? Only an idiot would buy it. Isn't that right, everyone?"
"That's right. You don't even know what it's used for, yet you're still asking for such a high price. Take it down."
"Take it down."
…
The auctioneer was helpless. "Everyone, the owner of this piece of flesh has requested for our auction house to sell it, and we can't refuse. After all, he's a powerhouse with a power level of over 200,000."
The crowd was astonished, but they did not kick up a fuss. An Enlighter with a power level of over 200,000 was indeed a powerhouse in the universe, and they rarely showed themselves.
At this moment, someone from one of the VIP rooms made a bid, and the auction began.
Everyone else looked at each other, and some did not care about 100 star essence and raised their hands to bid. After all, this was an Enlighter's item.
There were too many rich people in the universe, and anyone who could come to the Sea King's Dome was rich. Everyone was willing to spend 100 star essence to buy this piece of flesh for research.
The auctioneer relaxed, as it was fine as long as the item did not go unsold.
A new round of bidding began, and in the end, it was won by someone from one of the VIP rooms. Someone recognized that the VIP room had purchased quite a few items, and they were curious as to who was inside.
Not long after, Lu Yin received the piece of lightning flesh. He was naturally the first to bid, as he had done so because the Ghost Monkey had asked him to buy it.
"Tell me, what is this thing?" Lu Yin asked. He looked at the lightning flesh inside the box, and he felt disgusted.
The monkey excitedly replied, "Seventh Bro, your luck is pretty good. This is the Void Thunderbeast's innate gift of lightning..."
"The Void Thunderbeast's innate gift of thunder?"
"That's right. It's precisely because of this strand of thunder that the Void Thunderbeast was able to escape through the void. The person who provided this thing isn't simple, as they were able to kill the Void Thunderbeast and even cut off its flesh. Just as the auctioneer said, this person might be an almighty Enlighter."
"What do I need this for?" Lu Yin asked.
The monkey rolled his eyes. "Idiot, of course you're going to escape. Release your lightning, and you'll be able to travel through the void like a Void Thunderbeast. Of course, how far you'll be able to escape depends on how strong the Void Thunderbeast was when it was alive."
Lu Yin was delighted. "You mean I can use it as well?"
"Of course! It's equivalent to an extra life! Your luck is too good! Now, you don't have to be afraid of Feng Mo chasing you anymore. You can just shake him off easily," the monkey laughed.
Lu Yin sighed in amazement. This was indeed a good item, and it was worth it no matter how expensive it was.
Soon enough, the auction house took a break midway through the auction, and all of the items that he had obtained from the auction were delivered to him. He merely waved the Sea King's Medallion around, and the items naturally fell into his pocket.
Lu Yin did not linger and left the auction house to head to the next one. He could not be too conspicuous.
At the auction house in the west, Lulu did the same thing as Lu Yin. She waved the Sea King's Medallion vigorously and then stored a pile of items into her cosmic ring before swaggering away.
"Manager, should we report this to the higher-ups?"
"No need. Every month, all of the shops send their bills to the Sea King at the top level."
"But that Mavis girl bought too much. I'm afraid that the Sea King will blame her."
"You're overthinking it. The Sea King is rich."
…
Looking down from the waist of the Sea King's Peak, one could see everything at a glance. Countless buildings were arranged in a trapezoidal formation, and there were forests, waterfalls, and fields. It was a picturesque scene.
This was a paradise.
Lu Yin wondered if he could bring Ming Yan here to settle down once things were settled down.
No, if he wanted to stay here, then he could not be too conspicuous, and he could not offend the Sea King either. In that case, he should buy fewer things, and he could not be the most conspicuous one.
At that moment, Lulu walked over with a smug look on her face.
Lu Yin's eyes lit up when he saw her, and he hurried over. "How much did you buy, Lulu?"
Lulu was on guard. "What?
Mine. "
"I know, I bought quite a bit as well. I bought everything in that auction house," Lu Yin said generously.
Lulu was shocked. "Everything?
Are you crazy? Aren't you afraid of offending the Sea King? "
Lu Yin laughed. "The Sea King is a super powerhouse with unlimited resources. Why would he care about this little bit of money? The more I spend, the happier he'll be."
"Is that so?" Lulu was suspicious.
Lu Yin replied, "Of course. Think about it carefully. The richer someone is, the more likely they are to spend."
Lulu thought about it and realized that he was right. Did that mean that she had bought too little?
No, she could not embarrass the Mavis family. She looked up and saw another auction house on the other side of the mountain. "I'm leaving. See you in three days."
Lu Yin grinned and waved. Perfect! With Lulu in front of him, the Sea King would not notice him. This girl was from the Mavis family, so the Sea King would have to get her even if he wanted to. He would just casually buy something and not attract too much attention.
Lu Yin also looked into the distance. Since Lulu had gone in that direction, he would head in the opposite direction.
The Sea King's Dome was a conical mountain that led in all directions. Not long after Lu Yin's ship arrived, another ship arrived. However, this ship was not in the same direction as the Sea King's Dome and had deviated slightly. Given the size of the Sea King's Dome, this small distance was already very far away.
The Sea King's Dome had five waterfalls, which were known as the Skyfall Cascades. The five Skyfall Cascades represented the five main directions, which were also the destinations of the five ships.
Lu Yin's ship was heading southeast, while the second ship was heading southwest.
Just like Lu Yin's ship, when the ship docked, a maid led a dozen rather handsome men to the upper level of the Sea King's Dome. It was worth noting that there were three people on this ship who had obtained the right to choose a son-in-law based on their strength.
One of them held a simple wooden flute with an indifferent expression as he calmly walked into the harbor. The other two were obviously together.
There were very few people who could approach the strength of a Cruiser at such a young age, and there might not even be one in an entire weave. Now, there were two of them, which attracted quite a bit of attention. Many people tried to guess the identities of these two.
Very quickly, one of the two was recognized: Lan Yu, one of the top experts of the Grayweed Continent's younger generation. He had the qualifications to challenge the Top 100 Rankings and was an influential figure in the Starfall Sea. He also had another identity: he was the younger brother of the Ten Arbiters' Divine Fist.
Lan Yu's appearance was not unexpected, as there had long been rumors that the Grayweed Continent wanted to form a marriage alliance with the Sea King's Dome, but the Sea King had never agreed. Now, Lan Yu wanted to marry the Sea King's daughter based on his own strength.
However, although Lan Yu was strong, he was not an expert on the Top 100 Rankings. In the eyes of most people, the ones who could truly reach the end were the experts on the Top 100 Rankings, such as Qin Chen.
As for the person with Lan Yu, he was quickly recognized. His name was Lan Dao, and he was a genius powerhouse that the Ten Arbiters' Divine Fist had recruited for the Lan family. He had always followed Lan Yu, and his reputation in the Grayweed Continent was not low. More importantly, he was a Limiteer, which shocked many.
In this selection, many people saw that the two of them had a chance of winning. At the very least, aside from the experts on the Top 100 Rankings, no one would be able to match them.
Lan Yu brought Lan Dao into the Sea King's Dome, and they were informed that all expenses would be reimbursed. However, the two of them did not take this to heart, as they did not lack money.
Not long after Lan Yu and Lan Dao arrived at the Sea King's Dome, a large ship stopped in the northwest. The surface of the sea quickly froze, and a man with a cold expression walked onto the Sea King's Dome with a long weapon on his back.
Very few people revealed their weapons, as they usually kept them in their cosmic rings. Thus, the man's strange attire attracted quite a bit of attention.
Fortunately, there were many strange people around, and they were not the first batch to arrive at the Sea King's Dome to participate in the selection. There had already been a group of people who had arrived before them, and they were quite lucky. They had just arrived, and they only needed to wait three days before the selection began.
On the ship, the maidservant led a group of handsome men away, and Qin Chen appeared on the deck.
His appearance caused quite a few people to cry out in surprise, as the Top 100 Rankings was too famous. The Sea King's criteria for selecting a son-in-law was to be under the age of twenty-five, and most of the top experts on the Top 100 Rankings were over the age of twenty-five. In other words, Qin Chen was considered the strongest.
At the harbor, a powerhouse's eyes burned with passion. "Qin Chen from the Heavenly Network, I'll definitely defeat you in this selection and step into the Top 100 Rankings."
The appearance of an expert on the Top 100 Rankings caused quite a few people to want to challenge him, but they also knew that they could not casually make a move. After all, the Top 100 Rankings was a true assessment and not a sham.
Ling Que had also arrived, and he had boarded the large ship in the northeast.
He was a genius, and not only had he obtained the qualifications for his strength, but he had also obtained the qualifications for his appearance. The Lingling clan's innate gifts were extraordinary, and whether it was in terms of appearance or battle prowess, they were all outstanding. Ling Que was one of the best of the best.
Along the way, the maidservant's gaze never left him.
He was like a beacon of light in the darkness, and wherever he went, he would be noticed.
The Nightfall Banquet had raised his reputation to the peak, and he had stepped on Lu Yin's name to get there. This time, he had come to the Starfall Sea with the intention of challenging an expert on the Top 100 Rankings, but it just so happened that the Sea King's son-in-law selection was taking place. Qin Chen and Northgate Lie had both arrived, so he had immediately rushed over. He wanted to step into the Top 100 Rankings, and a mere Lu Yin was not worthy of being his stepping stone.
Experts from all over had gathered at the Sea King's Dome, which attracted countless people. To the Starfall Sea, this was a grand occasion.
There was only one day left until the Sea King's son-in-law selection. Many screens appeared in the sky above the Sea King's Dome, and they all showed scenes of the Skyfall Cascade. Everyone guessed that the selection might be related to the Skyfall Cascade.
