Ronron tried her best to buy those pills even if they cost a lot. She ended up bidding over 400 thousand True spirit stones for just those pills, which she herself was surprised with.
It wasn't just her as no one expected a young lady sitting at the very last seat of the auction hall to buy so many items.
Some of them wondered how she was so rich.
Some wondered if she even had any money on her.
Some wondered what sect she belonged to.
Some wondered why she didn't just get a VIP seat.
Every single person that was still in the auction hall thought something about Ronron as she had made it very clear that when it came to bidding, she was going to be a force to be reckoned with.
It wasn't just the guests either, even the auction hall was worried about her. They were worried that she didn't have the money.
However, before anyone could even come to ask her about it, Alex had already sent them away.
The next few items were sold quite quickly. They were mostly ingredients and raw materials, which Ronron knew would come in handy, so she bought it all.
She especially bought any wood treasure as that would help her cultivate quite a bit. Aside from that she bought spirit wines that her master would most likely love.
Being in the central continent for over a thousand years, she was sure he would love something like this if she brought it back for her.
Other than her master, she also bought a few defensive items for her own parents, as well as some other artifacts that she could give to the rest of her family.
She knew she had a grandmother to meet who knew a lot about talismans, so she planned on buying a few things for her as well.
Pearl got a few trinkets to wear that would protect him as well, and so did Whisker.
In the end, most of the items that were sold in the second half of the auction had been bought by Ronron.
The final item being sold in today's auction was brought out from behind the stage and placed in front of the woman.
The woman backed off a few steps and smiled at the crowd. "I'm sure this is what most of you have come for," she said as she snapped her finger and the box opened up wide.
As soon as it was opened, the entire crowd went silent as the atmosphere chilled a little. Alex's eyes narrowed immediately when he felt the aura that was coming from the box.
'That's… death aura,' he thought seriously. He couldn't believe there was something out there with such a strong death aura. When using his Demon Eyes, his entire vision went black from the amount of aura that was being produced.
"Not just death," a voice spoke in his head. "It's darkness too."
"Is it?" Alex asked. He could sense death, but darkness was still quite a bit away for him.
"This is the Sword of Death," the woman said. "As you might already know, this is the sword that Gong Lufui used to rampage in the town of Evernight in the State of Bing, destroying the Lost Light sect overnight."
"Gong Lufui went missing afterward, and no one could find him. However, a few days ago, he came to us and asked us to help sell the sword since he no longer needed it."
"Gong Lufui was a nobody looking for revenge, and this was the sword that helped him get his revenge, so guests should know just how good this sword is."
"We won't waste another minute. The bidding will start at 800 thousand True spirit stones, and each successive increase must be over 5 thousand true spirit stones," the woman said. "Please, begin."
The crowd went into a frenzy to bid on the sword. A sword that could make a nobody strong enough to destroy a sect was not a simple matter.
Everyone wanted it, even if they had no use for it just yet.
"Sword of Death, what a terrible name," Ronron said with a disgusted look.
"That's probably something people named it to make it sound better," Alex said as he looked at the sword. It was a simple sword design-wise, but the aura was quite strong.
"It's almost like I'm looking at an amateur version of myself," Godslayer said.
"You're not wrong," Alex said. "Death and Darkness, that's your thing… and yet, here we are with a sword that's not different."
"This is probably one of the many replicas made of me," Godslayer said. "There were many that tried to make a sword that was like me, but one they could control."
"Did they fail?" Alex asked.
"Of course," Godslayer said. "Most people underestimate Death and Darkness aura when together. You can get strong with it and fight for a few months or years, but slowly, the aura takes over your body, eating it from the inside."
"That's why I had to switch hosts every so often because their bodies would give up after a while. Human beings aren't built to handle a lot of Death and Darkness, even if they understand its dao."
Alex nodded softly. "Do I count amongst them? Probably not right?" he asked.
Godslayer grumbled a bit before answering. "No, your body has Yang that is way too potent. Any death and darkness aura you gather is immediately destroyed," he said.
Alex nodded again. "Thought so," he said. "So, are we getting this sword or not?"
"Of course, we are," Godslayer said. "It will make for a fantastic meal."
Alex smiled and turned toward Ronron. "Can you get me that sword?" he asked.
"You want that sword, father?" Ronron asked with a surprised look on her face. "Do you… want to use it?"
"No, I'm going to destroy it," Alex said.
"Oh, okay," Ronron said. "You can count on me."
She turned around toward the stage and shouted her number. "1 Million!" she said.
The bid had only reached halfway through the 900 thousand range when it suddenly jumped to a million. The crowd sighed when they realized the girl was taking part in this bid as well.
The people in the hall immediately backed off, but the ones in the VIP room didn't. After all, this was a sword that helped a nobody gain fame overnight.
The bid continued increasing one after another, but Ronron wasn't backing down at all. She increased the amount every time someone spoke, surprising people with her tenacity.
On the inside, she was a little worried that she was spending so much money, but on the outside, she continued bidding higher and higher.
In the end, the auction ended with 1.75 Million true spirit stones as the final bid of the auction, by none other than Ronron.
When the final gavel hit the table, the sword was sold.
"That was the last item being sold in today's auction. Thank you all for coming today, and I hope you will all come again."
The woman left the stage and people started walking away.
Alex stood up as well. "Come on, time to go get what we bought."
