Chapter 81: Chaos Stone

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation | Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Chaos Stone!

If she wasn’t mistaken, that was indeed a Chaos Stone!

The Chaos Stone was a rare and powerful stone that contained the primordial energy created during the birth of the heavens and earth. It had been highly coveted and difficult to find in the Tianji Continent.

For cultivators at the divine level and beyond, the Chaos Stone could greatly enhance their cultivation.

Furthermore, when a Chaos Stone the size of a thumb were to be used in the process of forging, it could elevate the quality of the resulting artifact by one level and there would be an eighty percent chance of imbuing it with a specific elemental attribute.

This knowledge had been widely known in the Tianji Continent. Flowever, only Gu Qingluan and the head of the Jun family had been aware of an even greater benefit hidden within the Chaos Stone—it could be transformed into Hongmeng Qi!

Increasing one’s Hongmeng Qi had been an incredibly challenging task.

Despite years of cultivation, Gu Qingluan had only managed to expand her Hongmeng Qi from the size of a bean to that of an egg. This progress had mainly been attributed to her possession of a Chaos Stone.

Without it, her Hongmeng Qi would have been even scarcer.

However, the power unleashed by the Hongmeng Qi, which had grown to the size of an egg, had far surpassed the potency of any other energy.

In fact, it was due to the protection of the Hongmeng Qi that Gu Qingluan was able to traverse dimensions and be reborn in her current body.

“Mother?” Feng Yuanxi looked at Gu Qingluan with a puzzled expression. “What’s wrong?”

Gu Qingluan indulged in a sip of fruit wine, graciously provided by the Lushi Auction House. The refreshing taste and fruity aroma of the wine helped her regain a semblance of composure.

“I’m fine,” she had replied calmly.

Her gaze had remained fixed on the elevated platform.

Feng Yuanxi followed her line of sight, his mind filled with speculation.

“Could Mother be interested in that black stone?”

In the face of the crowd’s ignorant laughter, Lu Yao remained unfazed and said, “Currently, our Lushi Auction House is unable to decipher its secrets. However, we believe that someday someone will discover what it is and how to utilize it. Treasures also require destined individuals.”

“Lu Yao is absolutely right!”

“I offer one hundred Xuanling Stones!”

“I’ll bid one hundred and one!”

One after another, several individuals raised their hands, expressing their interests.

A hundred Xuanling Stones were equivalent to one hundred thousand taels of gold, which was not a small sum.

Of course, considering the esteemed guests present today, one hundred thousand taels of gold was insignificant to them.

They could afford to spend such an amount on a stone like this.

Just as Lu Yao mentioned, who knows, it might truly be a valuable treasure.

As the bidding slowly escalated, a voice rang out, “Two hundred Xuanling Stones!”

The auction hall on the first floor instantly erupted into a commotion.

Up until now, the increments had only been one or two Xuanling Stones, so the sudden addition of almost a hundred more left everyone curious as to who had made such a substantial bid!

“Could this be some extraordinary treasure?”

“Can’t you see where you are? This is the renowned Lushi Auction House! ‘Two hundred Xuanling Stones are insignificant here! Why are all of you so astonished as though you’ve never witnessed the grandeur of the world!”

The prices of the recently auctioned items were already higher than two hundred Xuanling Stones, so it wasn’t a big deal.

After giving it some thought, everyone realized the rationale and calmed down.

“Two hundred Xuanling Stones for a stone of unknown nature seems a bit expensive, don’t you think? Who was the one who made the bid? Should we join in?”

Whispers circulated among the people in the hall.

Meanwhile, in the VIP room on the third floor, Gu Qingluan’s heart leaped with anticipation.

It wasn’t because she couldn’t afford a higher price.

Rather, she was concerned that if the price kept rising, someone might notice the extraordinary nature of the Chaos Stone and start bidding as well.

For Gu Qingluan, winning the Chaos Stone was a must.

However, there were too many wealthy individuals present today, and she was uncertain if she could outbid them..
