Strongest Lord by Opening Blind Boxes

Chapter 507: Chapter 343: The Auction

Wang Yi hadn’t expected the Mingyu Divine Country to have business interests in the Mirror Lake Royal Court.

’The Mingyu Divine Country didn’t open the Bright Moon Tower here just to earn Gold Coins and Star Yuan. There must be a deeper meaning. This perpetually neutral Mirror Lake Royal Court must hide many secrets and has close ties with the various Divine Countries of the Fifth Dimension...’

Wang Yi’s thoughts raced. Faced with the Mingyu Divine Lord’s sudden visit, he had to welcome her politely. After showing her into the room, Wang Yi cupped his hands and said, ”To what do I owe the pleasure of your visit, Divine Lord?”

”Your strength has grown quickly. Very good. You’re strong enough to help me with some things now. I’ve come to you with four small matters!”

The Mingyu Divine Lord was also direct. ”First, my younger sister. Let her live in your Royal Court. The divine war in the Fifth Dimension is fierce. She might be safer staying in your Royal Court’s territory.”

”Alright,” Wang Yi nodded. ”If I’m helping the Divine Lord take care of her family, I trust the Divine Lord won’t treat me poorly.”

”Such a pragmatist. I expected as much!” As the Mingyu Divine Lord spoke, she took out a Storage Bag and said, ”This Storage Bag contains one hundred million Star Yuan. Consider it your payment. I hope you’ll put some effort into taking good care of her. Also, there are two other items in the bag: a Lord’s Heart and a Chaos Bright Jade Skill Book I recently created. These two items are crucial for Longyu’s Cultivation. Please make sure to give them to her.”

”No problem!”

Wang Yi took the Storage Bag, feeling delighted.

’A hundred million Star Yuan! As expected of a Lord of the Divine Kingdom,’ Wang Yi thought. ’So generous.’

As for the [Lord’s Heart] and [Chaos Bright Jade Skill Book] in the Storage Bag, Wang Yi briefly inspected them.

The former was a special item that allowed the user to change their class to Chaos Lord. It could be used by both Indigenous People and Adventurer Players.

Wang Yi was certain that this [Lord’s Heart] was extremely valuable. For many Players, the chance to become a Chaos Lord again and make up for past regrets was something they could only dream of.

And the [Chaos Bright Jade Skill] was a Skill Book created by the Mingyu Divine Lord herself, specifically for Lord Players. It was certainly stronger than the [Tai Chi Ming King Skill] and the [Infinite Bright Jade Skill].

Of course, Wang Yi had no intention of coveting it.

”Your little sister is lucky to have an older sister like you!” Wang Yi said as he put away the Storage Bag. ”So, what’s the second matter?”

”The second matter is not as urgent. In the future, if you enter Hundred Battle Mountain, please go to a place called the Moon-Reflected Well. There is a mirror in that well that ordinary people cannot retrieve. I hope you can retrieve it. I am willing to purchase it for one billion Star Yuan.”

”One billion Star Yuan!” Wang Yi rubbed his chin. ”That mirror must be an incredible Treasure!”

”No, it’s just a vanity mirror I used a long time ago, back when my territory was still just a Royal Court. I sealed a portion of my life essence inside it as a contingency I hid in the Fourth Dimension. But now, I need it. The item is useless to anyone else! If you can get it, send it to the Mountain and Sea World and give it to Li Bozhen or Jiang Kui. Both of them are working as Transmission Envoys now. Give it to them, and I will reward you handsomely.”

”Alright, you’ve made it sound very appealing. I’ll take the job!” Wang Yi said. ”Actually, I’m very interested in the divine war in your Upper Realm. I heard it has evolved into a conflict between Schools. Could you give me some reliable information from a professional’s perspective? How did this divine war even start?”

The Mingyu Divine Lord said, ”Kid, listen up. Wherever there are people, there is Jianghu. The so-called ’conflict between Schools’ is just a pretext for war. This divine war is nothing more than some big shots wanting to reshuffle the deck and control the order of the Fifth Dimension. There’s nothing unusual about it.”

”I see. So, is the Eco-School being suppressed?”

”The Eco-School... As far as I know, the Eco-School is weak. A few Lords of the Eco Divine Countries have banded together for survival, and they are indeed getting beaten down. It’s very likely they’ll be eliminated. Kid, your territory has only just ascended and lacks foundation. Don’t worry about these things. By the time your territory ascends to the Fifth Dimension, this divine war will likely be long over.”

The Mingyu Divine Lord waved her hand and continued, ”Alright, my time is limited. Let’s move on to the third matter. The upcoming auction at the Jade Palace is no ordinary event. My reason for meeting you is related to it.”

”What, is the Divine Lord interested in an auction in the lower realms too?”

”This auction is being hosted by the Miracle Divine Country. The Miracle Divine Country holds a transcendent status in the Fifth Dimension and often uses auctions to send Treasures down to the lower realms. In this particular auction, there is a wondrous item called the [Yellow Springs Gu House]. I need you to take action. No matter what, you cannot let this item fall into the hands of the Demon Realm Royal Court!”

”You want me to get into a bidding war with the Demon Realm Royal Court?”

”If you can’t outbid them, at the critical moment, you can destroy the Yellow Springs Gu House!”

”What happens if the Yellow Springs Gu House falls into the hands of the Demon Realm Royal Court?”

”The Demon Realm Royal Court has a much longer history than my Mingyu Divine Country. It already existed when my territory ascended to the Fourth Dimension, and it was ranked first on the territory leaderboards. In fact, the Demon Realm Royal Court could have ascended to the Fifth Dimension long ago, but it has delayed doing so. The Lord of that Demon King’s Court is a scheming fellow. He’s plotting something big, and the Yellow Springs Gu House could very well be what allows him to succeed.”

”And if he succeeds, what’s that got to do with you?”

”Of course it has something to do with me. The ramifications are enormous, and I can’t explain it all in a short time. What you need to know is that this isn’t a personal request from me. It’s a commission from our Cultivation Alliance, backed by orders from a major figure. If you can complete it, you will receive a handsome reward.”
