Chapter 1797, Item 9!
"The Primal Rune Crystal is the seventh item up for auction."
"But before that, there are several treasures that will be a great temptation for your competitors and drain their funds."
"And most importantly..."
The auctioneer pointed to the ninth item.
It was a blurry image, and it was impossible to make out what it was.
"Even now, I still cannot fully authenticate this item."
"It comes from an ancient world that has been destroyed, and was sealed in a chaotic divine stone."
"I tried everything, but I couldn't break the seal and see what was inside."
"But one thing is certain: the value of this thing far exceeds that of the Primal Rune Crystal."
Ye Chuyun stared wide-eyed, carefully observing the image: "Could it be a treasure of a higher level than the Primordial Rune Crystal?"
Primal Rune Crystals are key to awakening War Fortresses and are worth at least eight to twelve trillion.
It's even more precious than that; could it also awaken the War Fortress to a higher level?
The Ruins Master's expression was solemn: "I suspect that this thing may be a fragment of some ancient treasure, or a lost heirloom."
"This item will be the subject of a crazy bidding war tomorrow."
"At that time, the funds of all major forces will be greatly depleted, and when it comes to the Origin Rune Crystal, their remaining funds will be much less."
Ye Chuyun's eyes lit up: "This is a good thing for me."
The Ruins Master shook his head: "Not entirely."
"Because of this item, Mr. Fu was determined to get it."
Ye Chuyun was taken aback: "Old Man Fu?"
The Lord of the Ruins nodded: "Old Man Fu comes from the Ancient Realm of Runes and has a deep understanding of ancient runes and seals. He has long had his eye on this item and has prepared at least fifty trillion in funds for it."
"And he also needs the Primal Rune Crystal."
"Therefore, tomorrow he will face a choice: whether to go all out to compete for the ninth item or to conserve his funds to compete for the Primal Rune Crystal."
Ye Chuyun understood: "If he chooses the ninth item, then the competition for the Primordial Rune Crystal will be much less."
"But if he abandons the ninth item and focuses all his efforts on obtaining the Primal Rune Crystal, then..."
The Lord of the Ruins said, "Then you will be facing a crazy opponent who has prepared at least fifty trillion in funds."
Ye Chuyun frowned.
Fifty trillion...
He only has 80 trillion left. If the old man of the talisman is really going to use 50 trillion to compete for the Origin Rune Crystal, then the price will likely be driven up to more than 20 trillion.
The Lord of Ruins looked at his expression and smiled slightly: "However, since I have asked you to come here, I will not leave you unprepared."
He flipped his hand, and a token appeared in his palm.
The token is entirely purple, with the character "墟" (xu) engraved on the front and a complex carving on the back that looks like a city.
It's probably a smaller version of Tianxu.
"This is the [Heavenly Ruins Token]. Holding this token allows you to temporarily allocate up to twenty trillion in credit within the Heavenly Ruins area."
"The interest rate is very low, only 1% per annum, and it can be repaid in installments."
Ye Chuyun was immediately tempted.
This means that he will actually have access to 100 trillion yuan in funds.
If Elder Fu prepares fifty trillion, then he has one hundred trillion, and his chances of winning will be much greater.
But Ye Chuyun did not immediately accept the token. Instead, she asked, "Why are you helping me so much, senior?"
There is no free lunch in the world.
The Lord of the Ruins must have some ulterior motive for providing such strong assistance.
The village lord gave him an approving look: "Caution is a good thing."
"My condition is simple: if you really master the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique in the future, I need you to do three things for me."
"These three things will not violate your principles, nor will they endanger your life."
"I'll tell you the specifics later."
Ye Chuyun pondered for a moment, then solemnly accepted the token: "This junior agrees."
The market lord nodded in satisfaction: "Very good."
"Go ahead and prepare well. I'll be keeping an eye on things from the shadows tomorrow."
"However, I will not take action; it all depends on your methods."
Ye Chuyun bowed again, then turned and left.
When he stepped out of the wooden door and back into the passageway, he realized that his back was soaked with sweat.
Even without the Lord of Ruins releasing his power, the invisible pressure he felt was enough to make it hard for him to breathe.
"Phew, Nirvana Realm, huh..."
A hint of longing flashed in Ye Chuyun's eyes.
He naturally admired such a powerful being.
However, one must eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time.
Let's finish what we need to do now...
Back in the No. 1 VIP room, as soon as Ye Chuyun pushed open the door, Zu Long and Hei Ze, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately surrounded her.
"You're finally back." Zu Long said with a worried expression.
"What does the Lord of the Ruins want with you? Has he made things difficult for you?"
Hei Ze also said in a deep voice, "We just inquired and found out that the Lord of the Ruins rarely invites people in person. Your invitation this time has already attracted a lot of attention in the Heavenly Ruins."
Ye Chuyun gestured for the two to calm down, then turned to Bai Chen and said, "Butler Bai, you can go ahead and get busy. I'll call you if I need anything."
Bai Chen understood, bowed respectfully, and left the private room, carefully closing the door behind him.
Only three people remained in the private room.
Ye Chuyun then recounted the events that had occurred.
From the shock of entering the Ruins Lord's residence, to the enlightenment of the Nirvana Realm, to the Ruins Lord revealing that Feng Qingyu was the mastermind behind it all, and finally to the matter of the ninth mysterious auction item and the Heavenly Ruins Token.
After listening, both Zulong and Kurosawa fell into deep thought.
After a long silence, Zu Long sighed, "So that's how it is. Feng Qingyu had already set up this scheme long ago."
Hei Ze frowned and said, "Feng Qingyu has helped so much, even persuading the Lord of the Ruins to make an exception. This favor is no small matter."
Ye Chuyun nodded: "I know. But the most important thing right now is tomorrow's auction. With the twenty trillion yuan limit of the Heavenly Ruins Token, my total funds will reach one hundred trillion yuan, and I should be more confident in facing Elder Fu."
Zu Long shook his head: "Don't be so optimistic yet."
"The Ruins Master said that the Old Man of Runes has prepared at least fifty trillion, but this is only a minimum. With the foundation of the Ancient Rune Realm, if they really want to compete with all their might, they may have to offer sixty or seventy trillion."
"Furthermore, the ninth item you mentioned reminds me of something."
Ye Chuyun perked up: "Please speak, senior."
Zulong was lost in memories: "Before my physical body decayed, a major event occurred in the world of gods and demons: the discovery of ancient ruins."
"Ancient ruins?" Ye Chuyun asked in confusion.
Kurosawa explained, "Ancient ruins refer to those ancient civilizations that existed and were destroyed. The technology, techniques, and treasures of these civilizations far surpassed the current level."
Zu Long continued, "When the ruins were discovered, several items were unearthed that were sealed in special materials. Those materials were extremely hard, and even Nirvana-level experts could not easily break them."
