Legend of the Monster
Chapters 169. Spiritual Spirit Fruit
After finishing everything, Dugu Changfeng returned to the room where Yun Feilong and Ling Tian were. Now, his view towards Ling Tian had also changed drastically.
Although Yun Feilong had yet to explain who Ling Tian really was, yet Dugu Changfeng at least understood that the character of a person like Ling Tian definitely had an extremely outstanding background.
Dugu Changfeng also thought, if only he could cooperate with Ling Tian, then, then it was certain that the business territory of the Ancient Treasure Association would become increasingly widespread and might even be able to reach the imperial Capital region.
"Please take it, Young Master! This is all money from the sale of your martial techniques," Dugu Changfeng said as he passed a Space Ring to Ling Tian.
"Thank you!"
Ling Tian took the Space Ring and then examined it. However, his face immediately turned astonished as the money inside the Space Ring was still intact with the amount of 65 billion gold coins.
"Hmmm... Isn't the money inside this Space Ring supposed to be reduced because it has been taxed by the Ancient Treasure Association?"
"Well... It was indeed true that every item sold at the auction would get a tax deduction of 5%. But especially for Young Master, our Association will not take him a dime from the proceeds of the sale," Dugu Changfeng replied with a smile.
"mmm... Then I say thank you again, sir!" ling Tian said with a nod of his head.
"Aahh! Don't call me 'Master'! Because it would sound very formal. I am a close friend of Chairman Yun. So, Young Master can call me the same as the call to Chairman Yun as well, which is called 'brother'."
"Huh... Another one an old geezer who wanted to be called as a brother by me," Inner Ling Tian in a complaining tone.
"All right! In that case, I will call you as brother Dugu," Ling Tian replied slowly.
"Well, like that would sound better, Young Master!"
"Hmmm... May I ask, brother Dugu? Is there a Star Spirit Grass at the auction today?"
"Nothing, Young Master! Since 5 years ago, I have never seen a Star Spirit Grass again other than the one on Chairman Yun."
"Huuff... It turned out that I couldn't find the Star Spirit Grass at this auction event," Ling Tian's inner voice sighed as he heard what Dugu Changfeng said.
On the stage, Ning'er again continued to lead the auction event. The items that were at the auction next were nothing that caught Ling Tian's attention. Several Spirit Potions as well as materials forging Heirloom weapons, were all purchased by Yun Feilong.
"All right! We'll continue this auction. The next item was a 5000 year old Spiritual Fruit. This fruit is quite rare and there are only 3 fruits. We'll auction everything at once."
"As a cultivator, all of you must know its usefulness. The function of the Spiritual Spirit Fruit could increase the soul power as well as the spiritual senses of the cultivators eating it. However, this only had a once effect."
"If you eat it a second time, the Spiritual Spirit Fruit will only become like an ordinary fruit and will have no effect on increasing your spiritual power anymore."
"The starting price for these three Spiritual Spirit Fruits was as much as 1 billion gold coins. Each of his bids would have a multiple of 50 million gold coins."
Hearing this, Xiao Jun immediately turned his head towards Ling Tian with a gaze as if he was begging him.
"Aaiih... No need to see me like that, Jun! Even if you don't say it, your handsome master will definitely buy it for you."
Xiao Jun's face was instantly excited when he heard what Ling Tian had just said. When he ate the Spiritual Spirit Fruit, his soul power as well as his spiritual senses would also increase.
"1.1 billion...."
"1.2 billion...."
"1.3 billion...."
The guests had already begun to compete shouting their bids. Some great clans and Sects had already fought over it as well. Because, with the 3 Spiritual Spirit Fruit, it means it will be able to increase spiritual power in three clan members or members of their respective Sects.
In just a short time, the price of the three Spiritual Spirit Fruits had become 3.5 billion gold coins.
"Dad! You should get the fruit for me as well as for Liang'er too!" Inside a special room for the Zhuge clan, Zhuge Liuyun who was also participating in the auction said to his father Zhuge Changlai in a pleading tone.
"Calm down, Yun'er! I'll definitely try to get it because I need the fruit too."
"Thank you, Dad!" Zhuge Liuyun smiled happily at Zhuge Changlai's reply.
"3.7 billion...."
"3.9 billion...."
"We from the Han clan will give a bid of 4 billion!"
"Our Jiu Clan will raise his bid to 4.1 billion!"
"Our Twin Mountain Sect will also provide a price of 4.3 billion!"
"We from the Immortal Bone Sect will offer 4.5 billion!"
"Our Klan Zhuge offers 5 billion!
The competition to obtain the Spiritual Spirit Fruit continued fiercely. The atmosphere inside the hall became heated again because there were still many people who were not willing to give up shouting their offers.
"10 billion!" Ling Tian who was starting to feel bored, immediately raised his bid price.
"Ciiha... The voice of this young man again! What does this have to do with chairman Yun Feilong so that he can be in the same room as him?" The leader of the Immortal Bone Sect said in an annoyed tone.
"Maybe that young man is a disciple of chairman Yun Feilong!" replied one of the elders from the Immortal Bone Sect.
"Hmphc... We can give up on losing to this Spiritual Spirit Fruit due to looking at the reputation of chairman Yun Feilong. However, we must seize the Lightning Spirit Fruit that is on him. Because it's very important to increase my body strength."
While inside his room, Zhuge Changlai clenched his fists tightly upon hearing Ling Tian mention the value of his offer.
"Dad! It's...."
Zhuge Changlai immediately raised his hand to stop Zhuge Liuyun's words. His teeth were grinding and his face had turned red from holding back his anger.
Just like the leader of the Immortal Bone Sect, Zhuge Changlai also learned that Yun Feilong and Ling Tian were in the same room. Because when Yun Feilong shouted his offer to buy some Spirit Potions as well as weapon forging materials, his voice was heard coming from the room where Ling Tian was.
"Patriarch! Our spies have previously said, that the young man who injured our clan members as well as the second Young Master was seen with chairman Yun Feilong upon entering the auction hall."
"Hmmm... Could it be that the young man who had just shouted out his offer was that young man?" ask Zhuge Changlai.
"If not the young man, maybe the other young man, the patriarch! Because, among the entourage of chief Yun Feilong, only two young men were with him. While the rest were the elders of the Alchemist Association."
Zhuge Changlai was seen thinking hard while listening to the explanation from his clan elder. When he acted rashly, it would only make his clan offend Yun Feilong.
Although the Zhuge clan was not afraid of having to fight with Yun Feilong or with the members of the Alchemist Association, but he had to be careful because his clan also needed their artificial pills.
"Ciiha... We must continue to investigate every movement made by the two young men. If only there was a chance, we would have to act in secret so that the Alchemist Association would not know about it!"
"Okay, patriarch!"
Seeing the situation of the hall turn awkward, Ning'er quickly said, "Since there's already no one to bid on these three Spiritual Spirit Fruits, then I'll start counting them."
"10 billion, first!"
"10 billion, second!"
"10 billion, third! Sold! These three Spiritual Spirit Fruits had been won by the Master in room number 8."
"Hmphc... We let the arrogant young man hold the Fruit of the Spirit. When this auction ends, we will immediately snatch the Spirit Fruit from his hand." The leader of the Immortal Bone Sect snorted furiously.
