Legend of the Monster
Chapters 166. Confrontations
Although the Lightning Spirit Fruit was only devoted to cultivators who cultivate body strengthening techniques as well as to the Spirit Beasts who possessed the lightning element, it was only for cultivators who cultivated body strengthening techniques as well as for the Spirit Beasts who had the lightning element, yet there were still many guests from the great clans and Sects who wanted it.
For example the Immortal Bone Sect. The members of his Sect specialized in cultivating body strengthening techniques. And also some other large Sects that some of its members had who practiced such techniques.
"550 million...."
"570 million...."
"580 million...."
The guests began to shout their respective offers towards the Lightning Spirit Fruit. While Ling Tian himself, he still remained seated quietly while occasionally sipping the tea that had been provided for him.
"700 million...."
"970 million...."
"1.2 billion...."
The price of the Lightning Spirit Fruit rose even faster as the competition was made by the guests who desperately wanted the fruit. In just a few minutes alone, the price of the Lightning Spirit Fruit had reached 1.6 billion.
"2 billion...."
"I'll raise the price to 2.5 billion!"
"Hmmm... In that case, I'll raise it again to 2.6 billion!"
"Don't compete with us! The Steel Hand Sect will definitely win that Lightning Spirit Fruit. My offer is 3 billion!"
"Ciiha... It's not just you who want it. Our Zhuge clan also needs the Lightning Spirit Fruit. I'll raise the bid to 3.1 billion!"
"Haha... In that case, our Immortal Bone Sect will also not lose to all of you. I'll bid it for 3.3 billion!"
The competition between the clans and the great Sect was getting fiercer. Although previously low-grade Sky Level Heirloom weapons were also needed by them, but they were not too enthusiastic to raise the price. Because, for a great clan or Sect, such weapons already existed partly within their respective treasury treasures.
As for an item in the form of a pill or Spirit Plant that could increase their strength as well as cultivation, it was far more important than a low-grade Sky Level Heirloom weapon.
"3.5 billion...."
"3.6 billion...."
"3.8 billion...."
The offer continues to be tight because no one wants to give up. The atmosphere in the hall was now becoming increasingly heated. There were even some among them who had started to grow furious and yell at each other.
"4 billion! If anyone were to allow me to win the Lightning Spirit Fruit, we from the Steel Hand Sect would remember this kindness!"
"Hmphc... Pardon me! Our Immortal Bone Sect also needs him the most. My offer will continue at 4.1 billion!"
"Patriarch! Maybe we should just give up on them. It's better to use our finances to compete on the Clear Cloud Pill later."
"I think so too. But my father desperately needed the Lightning Spirit Fruit to increase his body strength."
Inside his room, Zhuge Changlai as well as the several elders of the Zhuge clan who had come with him were talking about obtaining the Lightning Spirit Fruit. Because, his father who was also the patriarch of the Zhuge clan was previously a cultivator who cultivated body strengthening techniques.
"If it is like that, we will leave all these decisions to you, patriarch!"
After thinking for a moment, Zhuge Changlai immediately shouted in a slightly threatening tone, "I will give my final offer of 5 billion Lightning Spirit Fruits. If anyone bids it any higher, we of the Zhuge clan will surrender!"
"Haha... There's no need to be angry like that, patriarch Zhuge. We have to compete fairly. If indeed you have given up, we from the Steel Hand Sect will take it for 5.1 billion!"
"It was not you who decided to take it at such a price. We from the Immortal Bone Sect will raise the price again to 5.2 billion!"
"Ciiha... I want to see to where the limits of your Immortal Bone Sect's abilities are. I'll offer you 5.3 billion!"
"5.4 billion...."
All that remained were now only the Steel Hand Sect and the Immortal Bone Sect competing for the Lightning Spirit Fruit. Both of them kept shouting their offers. When the price had reached 7.9 billion, each of them started to think hard.
Because, they also had to set aside some of their finances to compete for the Clear Cloud Pill which became the main item in the auction event.
"We from the Steel Hand Sect will also give the final offer which is 8 billion. If you are able to raise the bid again, we will give up on the Lightning Spirit Fruit!"
"Hmmm... All righty! In that case, I thank you for allowing our Immortal Bone Sect to win the fruit. I'll take it for 8.1 billion!"
The girl named Ning'er who was leading the auction event smiled happily as the price of the Lightning Spirit Fruit became higher than she expected.
"Hehehe... I didn't expect the fruit to be able to get an offer at this price!" Dugu Changfeng who was the head of the Ancient Treasure Association, turned his head towards Yun Feilong while chuckling.
"You are very lucky because quite a number of cultivators are cultivating body strengthening techniques in this region of Primordial City," Yun Feilong replied with a smile.
"All right! Is there still anyone who will give his offer to the Lightning Spirit Fruit?" Ning'er said some pleasantries towards the guests who were inside the hall. Because he knew that no one would dare to shout their offer.
"Then I'll start counting."
"8.1 billion, first!"
"8.1 billion, second!"
"8.1 Billion to...."
"10 billion!"
Ning'er had no time to finish her sentence, a relaxed sounding voice coming from room number 8 instantly stopped her speech.
"Whataaa?!"
Everyone almost simultaneously immediately cried out in shock when they heard someone shout his offer of as much as 10 billion gold coins for the Lightning Spirit Fruit.
"Who is that?" The leader of the Immortal Bone Sect spontaneously stood up from his seat.
The face that had originally been overjoyed for feeling that it had managed to win the Lightning Spirit Fruit, had now turned red with anger. He did not expect that there would be someone else who dared to compete with him to get the fruit.
While Dugu Changfeng who was in the room with Ling Tian, directly sprayed the wine that was still inside his mouth. Because, the one who mentioned the offer of 10 billion was Ling Tian who had just quietly enjoyed his tea.
With a puzzled look, he turned his head towards Yun Feilong as if asking him. But Yun Feilong only answered him with an awkward smile while rubbing his beard.
"Haha... It turns out that there are still people who dare to contend with our Immortal Bone Sect. If I may know, who is this Lord and which clan or sect are you from?" Although the leader of the Immortal Bone Sect sounded like he was laughing, there was killing intent within.
Ling Tian who sensed that just shook his head and said softly, "This is the rule that applies at every auction place. Who bids higher, he's the one who gets the goods. You don't need to know who I am and what sect I come from. Just raise the offer again if you want to get the Lightning Spirit Fruit."
"Who's in room 8?"
"I don't know either! Because, every room here has been set up Sealing Formation so we can't examine it using our spiritual senses."
"The person was very brave to offend the Immortal Bone Sect. It seems he didn't realize that it had put himself in danger."
"Hmmm... Nevermind! We can't interfere with their business."
