As the voice fell, the gazes in the auction hall converged on the stone stele, staring intently as if trying to decipher some clues.
However, if even Wangyue Building could not decrypt the stele, how could they easily see through it?
No matter how long they stared, it was impossible to discern anything.
It indeed could be the remnant of some ancient Divine Secret Skill, provided one could understand it!
At this moment, Lin Yi was so excited that he was completely at a loss for words.
Others might not know what was engraved on the stone stele, but he recognized it at a glance!
This was a fragment of the "Heavenly Demon Scroll"!
And it was precisely the page adjacent to the one belonging to the Blood God Sect!
Therefore, he instantly understood the content of the stele.
"Could it be that you know the origin of this stone stele?"
Seeing Lin Yi’s unusual expression, Lu Qingcheng couldn’t help but ask.
Lin Yi nodded and did not conceal the truth, sharing the details of the "Heavenly Demon Scroll" with Lu Qingcheng.
Although Lu Qingcheng had entered the Ancient Family in Central Province for training and hadn’t seen the "Heavenly Demon Scroll," she had heard of the Five Great Mysterious Scriptures of the Green Ruins Realm and knew the significant weight of these five miraculous texts.
"Are you sure this is a fragment of the ’Heavenly Demon Scroll’?"
Lu Qingcheng looked astounded.
Lin Yi nodded, "One hundred percent sure."
This page of the "Heavenly Demon Scroll" was precisely the one following the page he was practicing—how could he be mistaken?
Lu Qingcheng fell into deep thought, then suddenly a glint of determination flashed in her eyes, "Then let’s bid on it!"
A look of surprise appeared on Lin Yi’s face.
Although others might not know the details of this item, they could also sense its extraordinary nature; he feared that the final price of this stele might exceed ten million.
Such a frighteningly high price—could Lu Qingcheng really afford it?
As Lin Yi had expected, the stele caused a fervor in the auction hall as soon as bidding began, with its price skyrocketing rapidly and soon breaking through the ten-million mark.
As the price soared past ten million, the voices bidding began to thin out. For such a price, not only were they reconsidering, but even people from wealthy Holy Lands of ancient sects had to weigh their options carefully.
In the end, only two Venerables in private rooms were still bidding, relentlessly competing against each other.
As the two were locked in intense rivalry, Lu Qingcheng joined in.
This attracted many surprised gazes.
This noble daughter of the Luo Family had made another move, and she had even called out a high price of fifteen million!
Beside her, Lin Yi had long since been stunned, looking at Lu Qingcheng in utter disbelief. He hadn’t expected her to be such a wealthy lady!
Was this the financial power of a Middle Ancient Family like the Luo Family?
The other Venerable tried to struggle further, unwilling to give up on the stele.
However, Lu Qingcheng completely denied him the opportunity.
Lu Qingcheng called out an astronomical price expressionlessly.
"No more competition, it’s uncontestable."
Even the last Venerable shook his head and withdrew from the bidding.
Finally, the stele was bought by Lu Qingcheng for twenty million.
"My lady, are you sure you can produce so many Spirit Stones?"
Lin Yi stared intently at Lu Qingcheng. "If it’s not enough, don’t count on me—selling my kidneys wouldn’t even total twenty million!"
"Don’t worry, there’s no need to sell your kidneys."
Lu Qingcheng gave Lin Yi a glance, "The wealth my family allocates for me to access is fifteen million King-grade Spirit Stones. Even if it’s more for the fragment of the ’Heavenly Demon Scroll,’ my family should understand my decision."
Lin Yi immediately gave a thumbs-up to Lu Qingcheng, "Worthy of being a Middle Ancient Family; truly rich and powerful."
The Luo Family had allotted Lu Qingcheng a quota of fifteen million King-grade Spirit Stones. Even the combined entire fortune of the three Venerables Lin Yi had killed was only three million King-grade Spirit Stones, merely a fifth of Lu Qingcheng’s quota.
The disparity between people couldn’t be too great!
After acquiring the fragment of the "Heavenly Demon Scroll," the two did not continue to linger at the auction and left the venue directly.
They had each made their gains at the auction and now needed a place to properly assimilate them.
Although the auction had nearly drained Lin Yi, he still had enough money to rent a room in the inn.
Lu Qingcheng’s face flushed slightly, "Okay..."
Lin Yi and Lu Qingcheng began a deep conversation.
He shared the fragment of the "Heavenly Demon Scroll" he had obtained from the Blood God Sect with Lu Qingcheng.
With the base of this first fragment, she could understand the patterns on the stele.
Lin Yi, however, started to practice the content on the stele.
Integrating the two pages of the "Heavenly Demon Scroll."
The Blood God Dharma Form seemed to be reborn, undergoing a quiet transformation.
His body seemed to become more anthropomorphic, his form clad in thick black armor, holding a Demon Weapon, an aura of battle soaring, like a demon god incarnate.
