White Void Spirit’s figure was moving, standing on the auction stage as if she was a stunning siren. She integrated her true qi into her voice, turning it into sound waves that spread throughout the auction house, saying, “White Ginseng Fruit, starting price, one thousand spirit crystals. Each increase in price shall not be less than one hundred spirit crystals.”
“Twelve hundred spirit crystals!”
“Fifteen hundred spirit crystals!”
……
The martial artists in the auction house kept raising their crystal cards and refreshing their prices.
Although the starting price of the White Ginseng Fruit was not high, there were many people who wanted to put the White Ginseng Fruit up for auction, and the competition was unprecedentedly fierce.
Any Heaven and Earth Spirit Quencher that could enhance one’s cultivation would mostly be looted by martial artists.
“White Ginseng Fruit, although it is said to be able to help Earth Extremity Realm martial artists to raise their level by one realm, that is only successful in theoretical situations, and it is not completely absolute.” Si Xingkong said.
Zhang Ruochen nodded in agreement.
For example, Zhang Ruochen himself, after taking a five hundred year old Ice Domain Snow Lotus, he seemed to be struggling to break through the Earth Extremity Realm’s Great Extremity Position.
Not to mention, the White Ginseng Fruit, which was only three hundred years old.
However, it would be good to photograph the White Ginseng Fruit and give it to Kong Xuan to take.
Zhang Ruochen raised his card and called out the price, “Two thousand spirit crystals!”
“Two thousand one hundred spirit crystals!”
“Two thousand two hundred Spirit Crystals!”
Those older generation martial artists also made their moves, although, the White Ginseng Fruit was not of much use to them, but they were able to shoot it down and give it to the younger generation.
The White Ginseng Fruit was different from the battle map.
If the battle map was given to the younger generation, the younger generation would think that they would be invincible if they got the battle map, but it would increase the inertia of the younger generation and their dependence on the battle map. The White Ginseng Fruit, however, could enhance a martial artist’s strength, which was the most tangible benefit.
Spiritual fruits that could enhance cultivation were each unattainable.
The county king of the Min Zhu County Kingdom, bid, “Five thousand spirit crystals.”
Seeing this price, many people began to beat a retreat, after all, this price, had far exceeded the true value of the White Ginseng Fruit.
Moreover, there was another reason, the person who bid was the County King of Minshu County.
In the Heavenly Demon Ridge, there were still not many people who dared to offend the Minshu County King, after all.
“Forget it! County King Minshu, he is so powerful and perverted in his own right, and he is also the senior brother of the Palace Master of the Palace of the Too Clear, Night Huiyi, we can’t afford to mess with him. There’s no need to offend such a big shot for a White Ginseng Fruit.” Chang Qi Qi advised.
Si Xingkong glanced at Zhang Ruochen and said, “I have a three-hundred year old Lunar Spirit Emerald Fruit there, and its medicinal power is comparable to the White Ginseng Fruit. If Senior Brother needs it, feel free to take it.”
Zhang Ruochen’s auction to buy the White Ginseng Fruit was actually just to help Kong Xuan raise his cultivation level, it was not something he had to have, and there was even no need to offend the County King of Minshu because of it.
“Alright! The Moon Spirit Emerald Fruit, after all, is Eldest Brother’s spirit medicine, how can I take it for nothing? I will also bid 5,000 spirit crystals, what does Eldest Brother think?” Zhang Ruochen said.
Si Xingkong lifted the wine gourd and took a sip, saying, “Whatever you want! Since you want to buy it, don’t call me Eldest Senior Brother in the future. Five thousand spirit crystals doesn’t seem like much. Fifty thousand spirit crystals, one less, and I won’t sell it.”
Zhang Ruochen laughed slightly bitterly, if he insisted on paying any more, he might anger Si Xingkong, and that would in turn hurt the feelings between senior brothers.
Just like that, Zhang Ruochen did not spend a single Spirit Crystal and accepted the Moon Spirit Emerald Fruit that Si Xingkong handed over.
As for the White Ginseng Fruit on the auction table, it was naturally auctioned off by the County King of Minshu.
The third auction item was a Spirit Grade Medium Grade Blade Technique, and after a fierce competition, in the end, that Blade Technique was auctioned off and bought by someone from the Divine Blood Sect.
Bai Void Spirit began to introduce the fourth auction item, “This is a set of formation flags refined by a fifth-grade formation master, called the ‘Water, Fire, Wind, and Thunder Formation’, with a total of thirty-two formation flags, once the formation is set up, it can be used for attacking as well as defending. When attacking, it possessed the power to kill a Heavenly Extremity Realm Minor Extremity Position martial artist. When defending, it can withstand the attacks of a Heavenly Extremity Realm Great Extremity Position martial artist.”
As soon as the words fell, a large chorus of shocked cries rang out from below.
“The power of this set of formation flags is comparable to a city protection formation.”
“This set of formation flags is more powerful than a normal city protection formation, it’s definitely a good thing, even if the price is higher, I have to buy it.”
“Our Helian Clan happens to be lacking a township formation, this set of ‘Water, Fire, Wind and Thunder Formation’ formation flags, we are bound to get it!”
……
Seeing that the martial artists in the entire auction house were all attracted by the ‘Water, Fire, Wind and Thunder Formation’ flags, Bai Void Spirit smiled slightly and continued, “The starting price for this set of ‘Water, Fire, Wind and Thunder Formation’ flags is eighty thousand Spirit Crystals, and the price shall not be increased by less than one thousand Spirit Crystals each time. Spirit Crystals. The bidding begins.”
Upon hearing the starting price, the crowd, who were only now arguing vehemently, were instantly mute.
The starting price, 80,000 spirit crystals, which was 80 million silver coins.
There were only a handful of martial artists who could come up with such a huge amount of spirit crystals.
One of the clan elders of the Helian Clan, clenched his teeth and finally decided to bid, “Eighty thousand spirit crystals.”
The Helian Clan was only a sixth-rate clan with limited family resources, and 80,000 spirit crystals was already a large amount of property for them. That one clan elder of the Helian clan, the most crystals he could mobilise was only 80,000 crystals.
Now, Helian Wen could only hope that other forces were not interested in the Water, Fire, Wind and Thunder Formation. Otherwise, he had no hope of taking down this set of formation flags.
Unfortunately, Helian Wen had underestimated the importance that the major powers placed on the Water, Fire, Wind, and Thunder Formation, and right after he placed his bid, the VIP auction room of the Yuntai Sect Mansion lit up with the price of 90,000 Spirit Crystals.
He directly added 10,000 spirit crystals!
It had to be said that as a fourth-rate sect, the Yuntai Sect House was indeed rich and generous.
Immediately after, the VIP chamber of the Min Zhu County King, also lit up its price, “One hundred thousand spirit crystals!”
“One hundred thousand and five thousand spirit crystals!” The Divine Blood Sect’s VIP secret room also lit up its price.
All the major powers valued this set of formation flags, not just because of the value of the set itself, but more importantly, the research value of the flags.
It was important to know that there were only two Fifth Grade Formation Masters in the entire Heavenly Demon Ridge, from the Martial City Palace and the Inscription Guild respectively.
In other forces, the most powerful formation masters were only fourth grade formation masters.
If this set of Water, Fire, Wind, and Thunder Formation was bought back and given to the Fourth Grade Formation Masters in the sect to study, it would definitely be able to enhance the attainments of the Fourth Grade Formation Masters in Formation, and perhaps even refine a few more sets of Water, Fire, Wind, and Thunder Formation.
That was the true value of the “Water, Fire, Wind and Thunder Formation” flag.
In just a moment, the price of the “Water, Fire, Wind, and Thunder Formation” exceeded 120,000 Spirit Crystals, and it was still soaring upwards.
Yellow Smoke Dust transmitted sound waves directly into Zhang Ruochen’s ears, communicating in secret, saying, “Zhang Ruochen, the Underwater Dragon Palace is in great danger, we must auction the ‘Water, Fire, Wind, and Thunder Formation’ in order to have one more point of capital to save our lives. How many spirit crystals do you have on you?”
After auctioning the Cloud Jiao Diagram, Zhang Ruochen only had over 90,000 Spirit Crystals left on him.
Zhang Ruochen asked back, “How many Spirit Crystals can you take out?”
Huang Yanduan said, “For members of the royal family of our Thousand Water County Kingdom, only the higher their cultivation level is, the more money they can dispose of. With my current cultivation, I can probably dispose of an amount of 50,000 spirit crystals.”
“That should be enough!”
Zhang Ruochen raised his crystal plaque, “130,000 spirit crystals.”
When Zhang Ruochen placed his bid, the entire auction house of martial artists were amazed.
A treasure like the “Water, Fire, Wind and Thunder Array” was normally only swallowed by the top powers, and didn’t they see that even the Helian Clan had gone into hiding?
“A young junior also dares to bid for the ‘Water, Fire, Wind, and Thunder Formation’, who exactly is he?”
The gazes of the crowd stared at Zhang Ruochen.
Someone recognised Zhang Ruochen and said, “Isn’t that the Ninth Prince of the Yunwu County Kingdom, Zhang Ruochen, who is said to be a terrific genius, whose natural talent is not below that of his elder brother, Zhang Tiangui?”
“A mere prince of an inferior county state also has the financial power to purchase the ‘Water, Fire, Wind, and Thunder Formation’?”
Someone let out a playful laugh, “The financial power of the royal family of the Yunwu County Kingdom should be about the same as the Helian Family. Even if the Yunwu County King was here, I’m afraid he wouldn’t dare to easily shout out a sky-high price of 130,000 spirit crystals.”
“You guys just don’t understand! Zhang Ruochen isn’t just the prince of the Yunwu County Kingdom, he has other identities as well.”
“What identity?”
“The extra horse harnessed by the emperor’s side of the Thousand Water County Kingdom, can’t you guys see the Smoke Dust County Princess sitting beside him? It’s estimated that he’s just helping to shout out the price, the person who can really afford the ‘Water, Fire, Wind and Thunder Formation’ is the Smoke Dust County Lord.”
“So it’s just a little white boy. Lol.”
Chen Xi’er, who was sitting not far away, revealed an astonished expression, very puzzled that Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yichen had first purchased the Cloud Jiao Diagram, and now they were going to purchase the ‘Water, Fire, Wind, and Thunder Array’.
What exactly are they up to?
Both treasures were top-notch battle weapons that were worth a lot of money and could cross realms to kill enemies.
However, for the trainees of the Martial City Academy Palace, most of the time they stayed in the Academy Palace, and they hardly encountered any major dangers. Normally, when trainees sparred with each other, it was also to the point. Even if they went out to practice, they basically wouldn’t encounter too dangerous Heavenly Extremity Realm experts.
Was it necessary for them to spend so many spirit crystals to purchase such a powerful treasure?
It would be better to spend such a huge amount of spirit crystals to purchase a battle weapon than to purchase some high grade pills to enhance their martial cultivation. They wouldn’t be unable to calculate this sum!
“There’s a problem, there’s definitely a problem.”
Chen Xi’er’s eyes slightly raised as she glanced towards Yan Yunyue, who was sitting beside her, and laughed, “Zhang Ruochen deserves to be Pavilion Master Lei’s disciple, he is indeed young and rich, and he is actually able to take out more than a hundred thousand Spirit Crystals to purchase a formation flag. If I could also obtain such a formation flag, I wouldn’t be afraid of encountering those evil martial artists when I go out for training in the future.”
Yan Yunyun Fantasy puffed out his chest with an air of bravado as he confidently said, “It’s only more than 100,000 spirit crystals, it’s just a drop in the ocean for our Yan Clan. If Sister Xi’er really wants that one formation flag, wouldn’t it be fine for this gongzi to auction it off and give it to Sister Xi’er?”
Chen Xi’er waited for Yan Yunyue’s words, deliberately revealing a look of surprise, saying, “Really? But …… it’s too expensive!”
“It doesn’t matter, as long as sister Xi’er likes it, even if it’s a star in the sky, I’ll pick it for you.”
Saying this, Yan Yunyue raised her crystal plaque and bid, “One hundred and fifty thousand spirit crystals.”
