Strongest Lord by Opening Blind Boxes

Chapter 514: Chapter 346: Sky-Covering Chess Master, Yellow Springs Gu House

Wang Yi said to Li Longyu. He knew that while his wife seemed carefree and thoughtless, she was actually very hardworking in private. Take her tailoring, for example. She insisted on hand-making the Flying Star Suit and Outer Heaven Suit every day, a workload greater than both Yuan Yao’s and Liu Qin’s. Her skill was already high enough to be an instructor at the Hundred Skills Academy.

In fact, Wang Yi had gotten quite a few Reclassification Certificates from opening blind boxes before, but none of them were particularly powerful, so he had just casually stored them in the Chaos Warehouse. He had even told Jelena that she could use them freely to boldly cultivate talent for their territory.

To Wang Yi’s pleasant surprise, when his Seven-Color Blind Box was upgraded to Seven-Color Quality again, the new ability it gained was precisely [Reincarnation Special].

This ability would affect the opening of Luck Blind Boxes, guaranteeing that they would yield either a Reclassification Certificate or other Reclassification Items.

”Longyu, your luck is pretty good. You might be able to reclassify...”

As he spoke, Wang Yi opened a Luck Blind Box. A DING sounded in his mind, and a selection window that only he could see appeared before him.

Within the selection window were five options, all of them Reclassification Certificates: [Reclassification Certificate of the Earth-Splitting War King], [Reclassification Certificate of the Undersea Hero], [Reclassification Certificate of the Star God Priestess], [Reclassification Certificate of the Thunder God], and [Reclassification Certificate of the Immortal Spirit Master].

Wang Yi described the five Reclassification Certificates to Li Longyu, letting her choose. He also mentioned the number of times each could be enhanced.

Li Longyu thought for three seconds before saying, ”In that case, I’ll choose the one that can be enhanced the most. I want the [Reclassification Certificate of the Immortal Spirit Master]!”

”Alright, as you wish!”

Wang Yi nodded, thinking, ’That’s a wise move.’

Once the Reclassification Certificate was in his hand, Wang Yi read its description. Only then did he learn that the Immortal Spirit Master was one of the Cultivation Professions, able to raise, nurture, and command Spirit Beasts to fight on their behalf!

Its professional enhancement effect was the ability to nurture all of one’s Spirit Beasts into Immortal Beasts, and at an extremely fast rate!

Immortal Beasts, generally speaking, could be considered Spirit Beasts that had surpassed the Mahayana Stage. At a minimum, they had to be level 501!

Li Longyu was very satisfied with this profession. She took the unsealed Reclassification Certificate from Wang Yi and used it immediately. A flash of light enveloped her, and she became an Immortal Spirit Master!

”The name of the profession is a bit lame, but its abilities are really good. Longyu, from now on, you can raise Immortal Beasts!”

Wang Yi thought, ’In the future, I might even have an army of Immortal Beasts in my territory.’

Li Longyu was busy studying her new Professional Skills and had no time to bother with Wang Yi. She waved her hand and said, ”Wang Yi, don’t talk to me right now. I’m studying my new abilities. In the future, can I tame the Duck-Billed Dragon, the Little Phoenix, and the others into Immortal Spirits?”

”You definitely can!”

Wang Shijiu whispered from the side.

Meanwhile, the auction, which had been going on for over seven days, was finally coming to an end. The last grand-finale item appeared.

In the holographic image, Lady Yu said, ”Thank you, our distinguished guests, for your participation. This auction is about to conclude. Now, for our final, grand-finale item. Everyone, please look. This is the Yellow Springs Gu House...”

As Lady Yu continued her introduction, a strange, turtle-shell-like object appeared in the hologram. It was only the size of a fist, its shell covered in complex patterns, and it pulsed with a faint green light, just like a beating heart.

That object was the Yellow Springs Gu House.

Wang Yi perked up.

The Yellow Springs Gu House was the very item the Mingyu Divine Lord had specifically requested. It was also, as he had put it, the item needed by the Cultivation Alliance. To that end, the Cultivation Alliance had sent one hundred billion Star Yuan with the express order that it must not fall into the hands of the Demon Realm Royal Court.

”Gu are the essence of heaven and earth. Some powerful Gu Insects even possess the ability to reshape the world. A Gu House is a dwelling for Gu Insects—or more precisely, for a large number of them. When many Gu Insects live inside a Gu House, it is as if they form an array, granting the Gu House unfathomable power. This Yellow Springs Gu Object has many abilities, but I will mention just one: it can be used to save and load!”

Lady Yu’s introduction immediately sparked a wave of discussion. Even Wang Yi was quite surprised and couldn’t help but pay close attention.

’Is this save-and-load function the same as what I’m imagining?’ Wang Yi wondered silently.

Lady Yu continued to explain, ”The save function can record a Player’s entire state, including personal information, quest progress, location, physical condition, and more. Then, by simply loading—no matter when or where, no matter what situation you’re in, even if you’ve become a Sufferer—with a single thought, you can instantly return to your saved state!”

As Lady Yu said this, her eyes began to sparkle. It was clear she was extremely fond of this item herself.

”This Yellow Springs Gu House is practically the ultimate treasure that Adventurers dream of. With it, you no longer need to fear risk! You can charge into any Secret Realm, you don’t need to fear anyone. Infinite loading, infinite saving—it’s practically unbeatable! This one ability alone makes the Yellow Springs Gu House a priceless treasure!”

Lady Yu paused, giving the bidders time to process the information. She caressed the Yellow Springs Gu House, and after three minutes, she continued, ”I can tell you all with absolute certainty that even in the Starry Sky of the Divine Countries in the Fifth Dimension, this Yellow Springs Gu House would be considered a top-tier Treasure. And aside from saving and loading, it possesses eleven other functions, each one incredibly powerful! That said, this Treasure needs no further introduction from me, does it? The starting bid is ten billion Star Yuan. Let the bidding begin!”

”Ten billion Star Yuan!”

”Ten billion Star Yuan isn’t much! The value of this item can’t even be measured in Star Yuan!”

”With this Yellow Springs Gu House, wouldn’t you get infinite do-overs? You could save before visiting a brothel, have your fun, spend all your money, then just load your save. Then you could go to the brothel all over again, right?”

”This Yellow Springs Gu Object is a Divine Artifact for farming! With it, you could exploit the system for endless rewards. For example, I could deliberately get myself killed and let other people farm me like a monster. With infinite loads, I’d be back in the blink of an eye anyway!”

”This Yellow Springs Gu House... no matter the cost, I have to get it, even if I have to sell my Royal Court...”

At that moment, throughout the Jade Palace, the hearts of countless Players were burning with desire. However, ten billion Star Yuan was no small sum, and not many people had the means to bid.

A full two minutes passed before the first person placed a bid.

Lady Yu announced, ”A Player has bid 11 billion Star Yuan. Are there any other bids?”

”12 billion!”

”20 billion!”

”26 billion!”

”Straight to 60 billion!”

”You think you can get the Yellow Springs Gu House for 60 billion? Dream on! I bid 66 billion!”

”Stop fighting over it. On behalf of the Demon Realm Royal Court, I bid 80 billion Star Yuan. This Yellow Springs Gu House is mine!”

Messages from some bidders appeared in the hologram. The auction had undoubtedly reached its most heated moment, and everyone was watching to see who would be the victor of this bidding war.

’The Demon Realm Royal Court has finally made its move, and they even announced their name. Has the bid already reached 80 billion?’

Wang Yi suddenly felt that the one hundred billion Star Yuan provided by the Cultivation Alliance might not be enough. After a moment’s thought, he called out his own bid.

”One hundred billion Star Yuan!”

Wang Yi directly bid his maximum amount. He thought to himself, ’If this still isn’t enough to win the auction, then there’s nothing more I can do. I’ll have done my best. If the Demon Realm Royal Court is simply too wealthy, what can I do about it?’

But to Wang Yi’s surprise, after he called out one hundred billion Star Yuan, no one else continued to bid.

”One hundred billion Star Yuan, going once! Going twice? Three times... Sold! The auction is over! Congratulations to the distinguished guest in private room number 666 for winning the Yellow Springs Gu House with a bid of one hundred billion Star Yuan and becoming our final winner!”

Even Lady Yu was a little surprised. She thought that with the Demon Realm Royal Court’s power, they should have been able to bid a higher price. After all, they were the Demon Realm Royal Court, whose resources were unfathomably deep!

As for the distinguished guest in private room 666, Lady Yu hadn’t looked into them too much. Now, after checking their information briefly, she learned that it was the Lord of the Strongest Royal Court.

’The Strongest Royal Court! Heh, what a name. I wonder if that Lord is truly confident or just blindly arrogant. Well, the Yellow Springs Gu House is his now...’

Just then, a ”staff member” approached Lady Yu’s side and said, ”There’s no need to teleport the Yellow Springs Gu House. I will personally deliver it to the Lord of the Strongest Royal Court!”

Lady Yu was startled by his words. Looking at the person who spoke, she couldn’t help but frown.

The staff member wasn’t from the Jade Palace; Lady Yu couldn’t see his level information. However, hanging from his waist were two Jade Pendants. One was a token from the Miracle Divine Country, and the other was a token from the Demon Realm Royal Court.

’Who is this person? To possess both of these tokens at the same time, his identity must be extraordinary...’

Lady Yu immediately sensed that something was wrong, but she didn’t dare defy the man standing before her, allowing him to take the Yellow Springs Gu House.
