Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny novel Chapter 2868

Chapter 2868: Chapter 2869: Starry Core

"What is that?"

"No idea!"

"Doesn’t look like anything special. Why would the Hundred Benevolence Store use it to open the auction?"

People were whispering to each other, discussing in low voices, most of them wearing puzzled expressions.

Only a small number seemed to recognize where this thing came from, and they immediately straightened up, their gazes burning as they stared at this lump of rock.

Someone muttered, "Its texture is like iron, its weight like a mountain! This... could this be a Starry Core from when the world first formed?"

The old man on the stage burst out laughing when he heard this. "Good, there really is a well-informed senior who recognized it. That’s right, this seemingly ordinary lump of rock is exactly what all worlds looked like at the very beginning—a Starry Core!"

There was a stir in the stands.

No one who could appear here was a novice, so naturally they all knew what a Starry Core was.

Just as the old man said, every world looked like this at the very beginning.

To put it bluntly, it is actually just a large boulder formed by dust in the Void accumulating and condensing.

But if that were all there was to it, how could it possibly appear at the Hundred Benevolence Store’s auction?

As expected.

The old man continued, "I’m sure everyone knows that Starry Cores are born by carrying the qi of world-creation, so they all contain powerful opportunities and are rare treasures for any Cultivator!"

"This Starry Core is naturally no exception. Moreover, it was found by our Hundred Benevolence Store deep in the Void. When we discovered it, the fortune it contained was so great that tiny life had already begun to gestate upon it!"

A low commotion rippled through the stands.

The environment within the Void is extremely harsh; aside from Cultivators, few creatures can survive there. Yet this Starry Core, though still in its most primitive state, could already shelter minute life. That had to be called a miracle.

Thinking of this, many people’s gazes grew fiery.

The old man, a veteran who had presided over many auctions, could naturally see this, so he chuckled.

"This thing is endlessly marvelous; I won’t go into every detail. Since it’s appeared here today, we’ll see which fated one will obtain it. Now, I announce that the auction officially begins!"

The Hundred Benevolence Store’s auctions were unlike any others.

Because they set no reserve price.

They didn’t even use open outcry. Instead, each person wrote their bid on the number plate in their hand.

If no one bid higher than you, your price would show up in red.

If it remained that way after a waiting period of one minute, then you were considered to have successfully won the lot.

At that point, the price would be locked and displayed in gold.

If someone outbid you, however, your price would turn green.

A green-status price could still be adjusted upward.

Of course, there was a condition: for each lot, each person could only adjust their price three times.

This tested everyone’s judgment and their grasp of market conditions.

After all, when facing a coveted lot, who wouldn’t want to pocket it?

Especially with those precious cultivation resources—miss this chance and there might not be another.

In such circumstances, everyone had to rack their brains, guessing others’ bids, studying the market, in order to win the lot at as reasonable a price as possible.
