Hearing Xu Zii’s words, Lin Feng turned his head and gave a cold glance.
He then spoke lightly, "After the auction is completed, an Elder from Great Skies Peak will escort us away. Will we still be afraid of Monk Kuwu then?"
"What can you do now? If only father had known, he should have let handle the bidding," Xu Zii shook her head as she said.
"Do you have a way?" Lin Feng quickly asked.
"First tell , why did father auction the Hindoo Flower?" Xu Zii inquired.
Lin Feng looked around, and eventually moved closer to Xu Zii, whispering, "It seems it is for treating an old ancestor of our Great Skies Peak. I don’t know more than that."
Xu Zii nodded, looked toward the first floor, and said loudly, "Monk Kuwu, we certainly cannot let you see our Great Skies Peak’s Vein Skills.
But I’ve studied that Ghost Zen Six Severings. If you want it, I can share it with you."
"What makes believe you?" Monk Kuwu replied.
"You have to believe , otherwise you will never find the Ghost Zen Six Severings from a second place in this world," Xu Zii said.
"Fine, I will believe you this once.
If you deceive , I will hunt you down until death. After all, I am alone and have no fear of your Nine Heavens Imperial Sect," Monk Kuwu stated bluntly.
Xu Zii nodded slightly, then looked to Lin Feng and said, "Bid."
"You learned Ghost Zen Six Severings?" Lin Feng asked with a frown.
"Auction your item and don’t ask so much about what doesn’t concern you," Xu Zii said lightly.
"Six million," Lin Feng said directly.
After all, he bid five million, and the extra one million would be compensated by Monk Kuwu.
Upon hearing such a bid, no one from the floor objected anymore, and the red-robed elder sealed the deal with a hamr strike.
Not long after, the Hindoo Flower was brought up.
The flower was kept in a box to prevent the Buddhist nature of the flower from being depleted.
Lin Feng directly paid six million Spirit Crystals, and for the extra amount he paid himself, he would later ask Monk Kuwu for compensation.
......…
The auction continued fiercely thereafter.
Finally, when only the last three items remained, the atmosphere at the auction silenced completely.
Because everyone knew that these were the three finale items, the big power players’ battle; the rest could only watch the show.
"The next items to be auctioned are the finale items of this ranking event. I believe everyone here is already aware of them.
Still, I would like to give a brief introduction," the red-robed elder said with a smile.
With a wave of his right hand, a high platform rose slowly from the ground.
The top of the platform was covered with a transparent do.
Inside was a "thump thump thump" beating heart, colored crimson-gold, with strands of thunderbolt and fla swirling around it.
Even with the transparent barrier, the power contained within the heart was still shocking to behold.
"The Heart of Thunderfla, birthed and nurtured by heaven and earth, only one appears every thousand years," said the red-robed elder with a smile.
"To acquire this Heart of Thunderfla, I do not need to spell out the twists and hardships involved.
To go to the End of Heaven is to court death, and the bidding for this Heart of Thunderfla starts at ten million Spirit Crystals, with each increase no less than one million."
As the elder’s voice faded, soone from the second floor imdiately called out, "Twenty million."
"Who is it, so rich and imposing?" soone asked, looking for the source of the voice.
It was from the Mountain River Sect’s room.
"In recent years, the Mountain River Sect has developed rapidly and has almost beco the leading force among the five major Imperial Sects," soone remarked.
"Indeed, give them more ti, and they might even beco a Holy Sect," another voice responded.
"Thirty million Spirit Crystals," Just then, a bid was called out from the room where Green Skies Peak was seated, as Yan Song made his offer.
"What gives Green Skies Peak the right to compete with us?" Chu Cizhao from the Mountain River Sect blurted out nonchalantly.
"Forty million Spirit Crystals," Chu Shanhe stated calmly.
"Fifty million," At this mont, soone in another room on the second floor swiftly followed with a bid.
"It’s Old Withered Wood," soone whispered.
"What does he want with the Heart of Thunderfla? The thunder and fla it contains are practically his natural enemy; he can’t use it."
"Who knows, he probably has his own plans," another conjectured.
"Sixty million," anwhile, in an adjacent room, the Realm Emperor Sect joined the bidding.
This trip to Huohuang City, the Realm Emperor Sect had kept a low profile; people didn’t even know who their leader was.
"One hundred million Spirit Crystals," soone from the Mountain River Sect abruptly tried to top the bid.
"One hundred million Spirit Crystals plus one hundred Divine Crystals," Old Withered Wood offered indifferently.
"Divine Crystals? Has the fellow lost his mind?" soone from below exclaid in surprise.
As everyone knows, Spirit Crystals are the most commonly used currency on the Eternal Ancient Continent.
Most transactions are conducted with Spirit Crystals.
However, above Spirit Crystals, there are so very rare and precious crystal stones such as Divine Crystals and Demon Crystals.
In the Divine Demon Battlefield of the Eternal Ancient Continent, many Spirit Crystals, after absorbing Divine Power or Demonic Qi, will slowly transform into Divine Crystals or Demon Crystals over vast spans of ti.
These two types of crystal stones are among the most valuable on the Eternal Ancient Continent.
If Old Withered Wood bids using Divine Crystals, then the others must also bid with Divine Crystals or Demon Crystals; otherwise, no amount of Spirit Crystals can compensate.
"Two hundred Divine Crystals," the Realm Emperor Sect instantly called out.
"One thousand Demon Crystals," the Mountain River Sect also began to bid.
"It’s truly a battle between gods; we could probably never see this many Divine Crystals in our whole lifeti," soone in the crowd remarked emotionally.
"One thousand one hundred Divine Crystals," Old Withered Wood seed determined not to give up and continued bidding.
"I’m out," a man from the Realm Emperor Sect said cheerfully.
"Two thousand Demon Crystals," the Mountain River Sect, with its deep pockets, still eagerly shouted their bid.
"Three thousand," Old Withered Wood coughed a few tis and declared, "If you go beyond this price, I forfeit my right to bid."
At this mont, within the Mountain River Sect’s room, Chu Shanhe frowned slightly and said to an elder beside him, "This price has already exceeded our budget."
"This Old Withered Wood, the old coot, he wouldn’t be a shill deliberately raising the price, would he?" Chu Cizhao spoke candidly.
"But at this point, withdrawing would feel sowhat unfinished," the elder replied.
"Empress, the decision is yours to make, after all, the Heart of Thunderfla is a rare find."
"Three thousand one hundred Demon Crystals," Chu Shanhe decisively slapped the table and made his bid.
With the fall of the auctioneer’s hamr, the next marquee item was placed on the stage.
"Thousands of years ago, a Heaven-reaching Great Saint appeared in the eastern region, a title I presu everyone here has heard of," the auctioneer in red robe said with a smile.
"Today’s auction item happens to be the parting treasure of the Heaven Reaching Sage."
He then lifted the cover from the display on the stage, revealing a stone inside.
