Chapter 1106: Sky high Price
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Two muscular tiger demons carried the block of wood onto the stage.Though it was currently sealed, the crowd could still smell the scent coming from it along with the dao laws within.
Some tried to take a closer look at the wood with their divine intents but were blocked out by an invisible power.
“Just like the legends, this is really Immemorial Heavenwood. Big Bro, we must buy this at all costs!” The fourth prince of the golden crow became emotional.
Prince Tyrant really wanted to smack the kid. Everyone knew just how much they wanted the wood? Stating this out loud was just asking for trouble.
They were strong but as the saying goes - the highest tree catches the most wind. Some demon tribes wouldn’t mind raising the bid to a ridiculous level.
In fact, some old men in the room smirked nefariously.
“This is just a tiny piece from the tree, its spirit energy is half-depleted as well, no need to spend too much on it.” Prince Tyrant said calmly.
A woman from the firebird tribe said: “Don’t you have a divine pond with water from Time Immemorial? If you place the block there, it might just revive and grow into a tree again.”
Prince Tyrant glared at her after hearing this but she wasn’t afraid at all. The firebirds were also a sacred tribe and didn’t need to fear him.
The atmosphere was already tense before the start of the auction.
The auctioneer was rather satisfied with it and said: “According to Wisdom Master Yuan Hong, this is indeed a piece of Immemorial Heavenwood. Thus, I don’t need to elaborate on its value. The starting bid will be 10,000 with increments no less than 100.”
“10,000.”
“10,100.”
…
“11,000.”
This was a monstrous sum but the participants included nobles and lords from both the human and demon realms.
They had incredible resources, especially the elders from the sacred demon tribes. Their wealth has been accumulating for years and years.
Some of them chose to keep a low profile while still bidding on something this special.
Feiyun was intimidated by their wealth as well. He had around 10,000 dragon stones or so - everything that he managed to get from the treasury of Sacred Court.
Back in Sixth Central, only the territory lords were as rich as him but this didn’t mean much now.
“15,000.”
“15,500.”
The bids showed no sign of slowing down.
At first, Feiyun didn’t think that it would go for so much. After all, this was only a tiny piece and he could get many more like it.
‘I don’t find it special because I have too many. As for them, just this block is an extinct artifact from Time Immemorial that can be used for pills. Tree demons can also look at the barks and runes to learn the dao from back then.” Feiyun thought to himself.
He told himself not to be greedy because the higher the supply, the lower the value. However, he wanted to gift the woman in blue one block since it would be rather useful for her.
He also aimed on entering the vessel again since he became far stronger now and could travel to deeper locations.
“20,000.” The woman from the firebird tribe stood up and raised the price while smiling at the golden crows.
“Bitch.” The fourth prince said with a hushed voice: “She’s purposely provoking us because you killed her oldest son back then. We need to teach her a lesson and burn their mountain.”
“We’re here to bid, not to kill. Let her bid whatever she wants, there are consequences of not being able to pay, she has a clear limit and only wants us to pay a little bit more.” Prince Tyrant said calmly.
“21,000.” A voice from the ninth palace came. This was the old demon from the vision tribe who had shown himself earlier.
“22,000.” An older human shrouded in fog said. One could see that he was wearing a daoist robe - clearly an ancestor from a powerful sect or even an old lord of a dynasty.
“23,000.” A big shot from the blood dragons said.
“24,000.”
“25,000.”
…
Mo Yaoyao smiled while caressing her pekingese: “You’re a wealthy man now, don’t forget about me later. Wow, seeing all the spirit stones makes me want to let you do whatever you want.”
He naturally didn’t buy it.
“I want to know who you are. Why did you open a perfume shop in this market? Was it there before your trip to Jin or after?” He became curious.
“Haha, why are you asking?” She asked.
“You were strong enough to be the empress of Jin yet you started an inn at the border for fun. Always keeping a low profile and being unpredictable. Of course, I’m just curious, you don’t need to answer.” He said.
Meanwhile, the bid was at 30,000 now and showed no sign of slowing down.
“I’ll tell you why I was in Jin, but after the auctions.” She smiled.
“40,000.” The woman from the firebird tribe shouted.
This was a crazy price now.
The old daoist hesitated and stopped. Although this was a heavenly treasure, humans didn’t need it as much. He could have bid higher but there was no point in antagonizing these demons.
Others pondered the situation and stopped as well.
“45,000.” The demon from the vision tribe didn’t stop.
“50,000.” A monstrous aura came from one of the palaces.
The others became alarmed after hearing this voice.
Feiyun could tell that the speaker was a pseudo-saint who had attacked the mountain before. Alas, he knew that he still had a way to go so it wasn’t time for revenge.
“60,000.” Phoenix Goddess finally joined the show.
“80,000.” Prince Tyrant opened his eyes and bid as well.
“100,000.” The firebird woman bid right away.
This price exceeded everyone’s expectations including the auctioneer.
“This is insane, to go this high before the saint’s blood.”
Feiyun could tell that the woman wanted Prince Tyrant to lose a significant sum today.
