Chapter 1976 - 1958: Auction Item – Teleportation Spirit Stone
This herb also has a significant background, named the Soulloss Life Summoning Grass. It is a miraculous yet poisonous herb, but it has another use, which is to refine the Heavenly Grade Elixir Life Renewal Pill. This is a pill that can truly bring the dead back to life, suitable for any cultivation level. What’s more exaggerated is that people revived by the Life Renewal Pill become immune to any extraordinary poison and their recovery rate is astonishingly fast!
It can be said that with the Life Renewal Pill, anyone would have a chance to live again. This allure is irresistible, not even the Earth Immortal ancients, nor anyone in the entire Divine Oracle Cultivation Realm can resist this temptation.
But the Soulloss Life Summoning Grass is merely the main material for the Life Renewal Pill. To refine the Life Renewal Pill, an Alchemy Grandmaster is needed. With the success rate of Heavenly Grade Elixirs, preparing dozens of Spiritual Medicines could barely succeed once. Hence, the value of the Soulloss Life Summoning Grass is far less than that of the Life Renewal Pill.
Yet without the Soulloss Life Summoning Grass, it is even more impossible to have a Life Renewal Pill. Under this premise, for that glimmer of hope, all sects and the Divine Oracle Dynasty placed their bids on this Soulloss Life Summoning Grass.
"Two million!"
"Three million!"
"Five million!"
"Ten million!"
...
The bidding for this high-level Spiritual Medicine is unlike anything before. As soon as it appeared, it immediately triggered a bidding frenzy. After just two or three rounds, most were pushed out, leaving only the four major sects and the Divine Oracle Dynasty in contention, and the price gradually advanced to twenty million.
It can be said that, at this moment, the price of the Soulloss Life Summoning Grass has far exceeded its actual value. Although the Soulloss Life Summoning Grass is hard to find, refining the Life Renewal Pill is even harder. Spending twenty million to buy such a Spiritual Medicine puts even the Divine Oracle Dynasty in a difficult position.
The crowd present was speechless at this situation. But the four major sects and the dynasty have money, so even if they want it now, it’s unlikely. That thing is simply beyond their reach.
Time flew by, and when the price settled at nineteen million five hundred thousand, the bidding had completely stopped. The people of the four major sects and the imperial city exchanged glances, seeing helplessness in each other’s eyes. The last bid was from the Divine Oracle Dynasty.
Just when the people of the Divine Oracle Dynasty thought they could soon secure the Soulloss Life Summoning Grass, Lin Feng’s voice suddenly emerged.
"Twenty million!" Lin Feng’s voice was calm, but everyone present heard it clearly.
In an instant, almost everyone looked towards Lin Feng, wanting to know what Lin Feng was thinking, daring to contend with the dynasty and the four major sects. It was regarded as crazy; what was the Divine Oracle Dynasty? It governed the Divine Oracle Continent for countless years, with even sects having to obey its commands. In such a context, someone dared to bid, leaving people speechless.
The leaders of the four major sects looked at the dynasty’s VIP room, smiling. They had been suppressed by the dynasty for countless years, but lacking strength, they dared not provoke it. Today’s situation was utterly a slap in the face. Just thinking of the dynasty’s people being thwarted made the leaders of the four major sects feel extremely pleased.
In the dynasty’s VIP room, an elder appearing to be in his seventies, known as Lord Liu Pang, currently managing the dynasty’s treasury, was staring intently across at the VIP room, his face unusually grim. If it were the four major sects opposing him, that would be nothing since the dynasty and the four major sects had longstanding grievances. If not for the dynasty’s overwhelming power, conflicts would have erupted long ago. But now, a seemingly young lad dared ruin his plans, making it hard for him to swallow his anger.
"Twenty-one million!"
With a stern face, Liu Pang coldly spoke, with everyone able to hear the killing intent in his tone. The dynasty did not lack money, but spending over twenty million gold to buy the Soulloss Life Summoning Grass, even as he managed the treasury, seemed unjustifiable. This was his final bid; if the other party dared to offer again, he would not be polite.
At this moment, everyone in the auction house turned their gaze towards Lin Feng’s VIP room, wanting to know who dared to continue bidding against Lord Liu. They were even looking forward to seeing Lord Liu humiliated.
The subsequent events unfolded as the crowd expected, with Lin Feng not needing to give anyone face. After this auction ended, he planned to leave for another place, not wanting to waste time. He directly quoted, "Twenty-one million five hundred thousand!"
Sure enough, as soon as Lin Feng’s bid was announced, Liu Pang’s face grew even grimmer, glaring at Lin Feng as if wishing to kill him. However, the VIP room’s exterior doors concealed its occupants, making him unable to bear it. He immediately called over the auction’s organizer.
"Lord Liu, do you have any orders?" Xu Tongqian looked at Lord Liu and cautiously asked.
"I want to know the identity of the person in that VIP room; don’t tell me you don’t know." Liu Pang looked at Xu Tongqian and asked directly, his tone icy, indicating he was in a state of rage. The dignified manager of the dynasty’s treasury felt humiliated by a young man, something he couldn’t swallow.
Xu Tongqian anticipated Liu Pang’s question, weighing his options. Compared to Lin Feng, Xu Tongqian could less afford to offend him, so even unwillingly, he could only respond, "Lord Liu, that person is named Lin Feng; most of the Heavenly Grade Elixirs at this auction are his. We know no other details."
That’s all he could say, and he already sensed that after the auction concluded, Lord Liu might act against Lin Feng, but he could do nothing about it. That was beyond his control.
"Leave!" Lord Liu spoke with a cold expression, but inwardly, he was surprised. To possess so many Heavenly Grade Elixirs, this young man must be extraordinary. Even the four major sects couldn’t produce so many Heavenly Grade Elixirs.
He knew the dynasty infinitely well, aware that no one internally could offer dozens of Heavenly Grade Elixirs, not even the strongest Third Prince. Therefore, Lin Feng’s identity was likely as the disciple of a Hidden World master, giving him no concern.
As Xu Tongqian left the VIP room, Liu ordered the two guards beside him, "You two, go find Lin Feng. If there’s a chance, seize Lin Feng. The Soulloss Life Summoning Grass must be retrieved without fail!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
Upon hearing Liu’s instructions, the two guards immediately agreed and quickly left, waiting outside Lin Feng’s VIP room. They understood Liu’s intention, but this was, after all, the dynasty’s realm. They were officials, and Lin Feng was a civilian. Even if they seized Lin Feng, it wouldn’t matter.
Shortly after the two guards left, the auction of the Soulloss Life Summoning Grass concluded, with Lin Feng securing it at two million one hundred fifty thousand taels.
This situation abruptly caused a sensation in the auction hall. No one anticipated that the young person in the VIP room really defied the dynasty, sparking curiosity about his identity, and the crowd sensed his immense wealth from his calm tone. Spending over twenty million with such ease left them wondering about this young man’s riches.
Meanwhile, in the dynasty’s VIP room, Liu Pang’s expression turned frosty. Now he no longer cared about the auction; he merely pondered how to kill Lin Feng...
The auction continued, with several top-tier Dharma Treasures appearing afterward. These were items Lin Feng had acquired in the ancient mansion, but they were useless to him. Treasures eyed by Heavenly Immortal Realm experts were not trivial, so each sold for around tens of millions, with fierce competition.
Initially, Liu Pang did not intend to bid for anything, but upon seeing these top-tier Dharma Treasures, he was tempted, eventually acquiring one after some bidding.
In the VIP room, Lin Feng calculated the auction prices of several Dharma Treasures. After deducting the Soulloss Life Summoning Grass purchase, he had close to sixty million left to use. Thinking of the few reserved items at the end, Lin Feng gained a bit of confidence.
Soon, it was time for the auction of Teleportation Spirit Stones, grouped by a thousand pieces, with a starting price exorbitantly high at twenty million. Perhaps this grouping approach was intentional by the consignor, aiming to sell Teleportation Spirit Stones, a strategic consumable, at a sky-high price.
At this point, people from the four major sects and the dynasty widened their eyes. They were determined to obtain these Teleportation Spirit Stones. Particularly for the dynasty, they held immense significance, enabling control over any conflict with the reserves.
Thus, as soon as the bidding started, the price soared!
"Twenty million!"
"Twenty-five million!"
"Thirty million!"
"Thirty-five million!"
...
Watching the escalating prices, the freelance guests in the auction almost had their eyes pop out. They anticipated the extraordinary price of the Teleportation Spirit Stones but never imagined such fierce competition. Watching left them in awe, noting that the four major sects and the dynasty were indeed wealthy! Bear in mind, the sects and the dynasty had already acquired many items, yet they still displayed such financial power, truly exceptional!
During this bidding, Lin Feng never placed a bid. Without reaching a bottleneck, bidding was meaningless. He needed only to wait, for the prices to stabilize before acting.
