Chapter 480
Just kidding, this isn't a soul tool, it contains the future of the Star Luo Empire! We can't afford to be careless.
Xu Jiawei never expected that Jing Hongchen's grandson would be such a romantic, and that he would be interested in this Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red.
Unfortunately, even if you vomit blood until you're completely drained, it's impossible for a flower to bloom.
After receiving the storage soul tool from the maid, Xu Jiawei played with it in his hand for a while, and a wicked smile appeared on his face.
This was a pleasant surprise for him; he acquired over a dozen more level-eight soul tools, which, after analysis, would allow them to catch up with the Sun Moon Empire by a significant margin. Moreover, he could also manage to persuade the grandchildren of the Mingde Hall Master.
When the two of them cough up blood and develop chronic illnesses, it will be considered that they have solved two major threats to the future Star Luo Empire. After all, these two people will inevitably take over Mingde Hall in the future. Jing Hongchen only has these two grandsons. If he doesn't give his family to them, who else will he give it to?
Thinking of this, Xu Jiawei's mood improved, and Teli gave Xiao Hongchen an extra percentage of gold soul coins.
Anyway, it's all his money coming in with his own hands and going out with his own hands, so what's the big deal? Give him a little more, today is just the beginning, this top-level auction is just an appetizer.
Among the VIPs, Xiao Hongchen was determined to obtain this supreme treasure. Meng Hongchen was the same; everyone knew he was interested in being second to none.
The second most beloved person in the world is so infatuated with this flower that he is willing to die for it. After buying this flower, it will surely make the love-sick Duan Changhong bloom. After eating it, his cultivation level will instantly increase by ten levels, and he will be able to surpass the second most beloved person in the world and be qualified to stand by his side. This is what he has always dreamed of.
His feelings for being the second best in the world were pure and unwavering. Therefore, Meng Hongchen firmly believed that he would definitely make it bloom.
He can definitely do it.
"Brother, I want it!"
Meng Hongchen had never asked Xiao Hongchen for anything before. Today was the first time Meng Hongchen had ever asked Xiao Hongchen for anything since birth. Looking at his sister's expression, Xiao Hongchen immediately understood.
He wanted his sister to be happy more than himself.
My sister has been pursuing the Second Under Heaven for several years, but this idiot has never made any move. She even doubts whether the Second Under Heaven is a man at all.
Unfortunately, his own sister had a particular fondness for this kind of person and was convinced that he was the only one in the world who could be with him. He had thought many times about replacing his sister with someone else to love, but love is something that cannot be controlled by oneself.
Just like him, isn't he also unable to control his liking for the wind?
The word "love" is the most hurtful.
Xiao Hongchen knew that when his sister said she wanted the Acacia Heartbreak Red, she had completely given up on absorbing the 100,000-year-old Soul Beast Embryo. In other words, his sister had given him the 100,000-year-old Soul Beast Embryo. This touched him deeply, and the loss of the Acacia Heartbreak Red also lessened considerably.
The two of them had already claimed the Heartbreak Red as their own. Because among all the empires on Douluo Star, Mingde Hall was the most powerful; what they couldn't seize, no one else could.
When they decided to bid on this item, they already considered it theirs.
Unfortunately, within the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, it wasn't just the two of them whose eyes shone with fervent light; even the usually aloof and indifferent Feng raised her smooth chin.
Her perfectly pure face remained expressionless, but her eyes held a hint of longing.
She wanted this acacia blossom, a symbol of unrequited love and heartbreak. She had never desired anything so desperately, but now she had it.
She wanted to know her true feelings towards the golden figure in her heart, and just how much she loved him.
She wanted to know.
She desperately wanted this acacia flower, and wanted to water it with her own heart's blood to see if it would bloom.
She didn't want her years of perseverance to be a joke.
She was confident she could make the acacia blossoms bloom. She wanted to prove that she truly loved someone.
Therefore, she was determined to have this acacia flower, a symbol of unrequited love.
If he can't have a happy ending, then he should put a perfect period to this ridiculous and inexplicable love affair, and from then on, he should seal his heart away from his beloved and stay by the side of the second-best in the world, helping him to ascend to that position.
Repay kindness!
The Second Under Heaven didn't have those feelings for him. He didn't say it explicitly, but it was very obvious. Even with Ye Guyi, the Second Under Heaven showed her more affection than Ye Guyi.
Ever since she met that golden figure, her heart has been filled with him.
When I close my eyes in my sleep, he is always on my mind.
She didn't know if this was love. He thought it was, but she wasn't sure because she was still young and didn't understand any of this.
Now that the best tool for proof has arrived, she absolutely cannot miss it.
She has 400 million gold soul coins in her hand. She doesn't believe she can't buy this item. Although Xiao Hongchen and the others are rich, they still need to save money to bid for the 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo.
She had no interest in this 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo, after all, she possessed divine inheritance.
Twin martial souls and 100,000-year soul rings are meaningless to him. As long as he honestly completes the divine test, he will surely become a powerful god-level expert in the future.
He had no interest in the so-called twin martial souls. Although the 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo was very good, it could not tempt her.
Five minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and soon a number of fifty million appeared on the screen, and soon the number began to jump wildly.
Although it's very likely that you'll end up with a piece of junk, this legendary treasure is still extremely valuable even if you just buy it as a collectible. And who can say for sure that it won't be activated in the future? Keeping it would make it a family heirloom.
The numbers on the screen jumped repeatedly, quickly rising from fifty million to sixty million, then to seventy million, and finally stopped slowly at eighty million, but were still steadily increasing.
Xiao Hongchen, a VIP from Xingluo Huangjia Huandao Experimental School, looked determined to win.
"Ninety million."
Adding ten million in one go—that's the foundation of Mingdetang.
At the Silla Royal Soul Master Academy, everyone else was shocked by his extravagance. However, when they thought that he was the grandson of Jing Hongchen, the head of Mingde Hall, they knew that he was different from them. He had money to squander at will, so what was this little bit of money to him? Therefore, after a slight surprise, everyone paid little attention to him.
They lost interest in the subsequent auctions, as they were not at their level to participate in. They weren't even qualified to buy the previous items, each costing tens of millions of gold soul coins. Where would they get the money to buy them? Even if everything was sold out, the entire family wouldn't have enough. This was the difference between top-tier wealthy families and ordinary nobles.
After Xiao Hongchen made his bid, the screen instantly went cold. The price of 80 million gold soul coins was enough for many people to think twice, since 100 million gold soul coins could buy a very powerful soul bone.
Whether it's worth the gamble for this level 10 environment is still up for consideration, just like gambling on stones. One thought leads to heaven, the other to hell. If you don't get anything, it's just a piece of trash. If you do get something, it will increase your soul power by 10 levels and improve your aptitude. It's a huge gamble, but not many people are willing to take it.
The countdown was on, and in the last few seconds, the screen started jumping again.
This is the gambler's mentality.
They complained about the high price but didn't want to buy it, but then felt bad after someone else bought it.
I continued to force myself to follow along.
The price on the screen began to fluctuate slowly again, gradually increasing from 90 million to around 100 million. "110 million," Xiao Hongchen announced, his eyes red.
This price is already very close to its limit.
Any higher and it would be really unbearable.
However, it was confirmed at the scene that no one dared to bid against it anymore. No one has the same courage to spend 100 million yuan to buy a worthless stone as Mingdetang does.
However, just when Xiao Hongchen thought she had it all figured out, suddenly, Feng, who had been silent all along, raised her fair hand.
"One hundred and twenty million."
Upon hearing Feng's words, all the VIPs gasped, and everyone turned their gaze to him.
Just when everyone thought that this treasure belonged to Xiao Hongchen, an unexpected incident suddenly occurred.
The wind suddenly swept across my foot, which was quite unexpected.
To be honest, even the auctioneer was quite surprised. He hadn't expected that in the end, it would be an internal conflict within the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, with them bidding against themselves.
However, he was happy to watch this dogfight. Their internal bidding proved that there was no delaying. In the end, they would all handle it themselves. The higher the bid, the more excited they would be, and the more His Majesty would profit.
The auctioneer immediately raised the price of the wind, which jumped by ten million in an instant, shocking everyone.
Isn't this as attractive as a broken stone or something? They really want to see whether this gamble will be a win or a loss.
If the Acacia 'Heartbreak Red' doesn't hatch, I'd probably be devastated.
"Feng, what's going on?"
Xiao Hongchen looked at the wind and was shocked when it suddenly raised the price by ten million.
He couldn't believe that the one who would betray him in the end was Feng, the one he had always secretly loved.
He hadn't expected that Feng was actually a hidden heiress, so incredibly wealthy. He had thoroughly investigated Feng's background; wasn't she the one whose child was sold on the border of the Star Luo Empire? How could she suddenly be so rich?
But the issue now isn't money; the key issue is that Feng is actually going to bid against him for this priceless treasure.
"I want it, I have the money, is there a problem?" This was the second sentence spoken by Fan VIP 10, and it was very cold. After saying it, he stopped talking and just stared at the screen quietly, looking very noble and elegant.
The wind element is present in the body of the wind, and there is a dust-free place around it, which makes people dare not approach it and gives people a feeling of being high above.
Upon hearing his words, Xiao Hongchen's face fell, and his previous confident demeanor vanished.
If Feng wanted it, why would he bother to snatch it? But the problem is, his two favorite women are both going to buy this item.
Lovesickness is red.
What frustrated him even more was that the two women he liked most were probably the only ones in the world who would buy this item. Thinking of this, his jealousy of the number two in the world reached its peak.
He's second in the world, what right does he have to be so good? Just thinking about it makes him angry, but the problem is, he has no way to deal with someone who's second in the world.
Not daring to contradict Feng, and feeling guilty towards his sister, he could only retreat to her side with a defeated expression.
However, those who dream of the mortal world are not accustomed to the wind.
She knew her brother had given in; he was such a spineless coward, turning into this for a woman.
The brother didn't take it; he let her take it herself.
The red petals of longing and heartbreak can be given to anyone but the wind; that's her bottom line.
"One hundred and thirty million."
The cold numbers came out of Meng Hongchen's mouth: half of the Hongchen family's assets belonged to her, and even if she asked for a high price of 1 billion, her grandfather would not give her credit.
Like the wind, this was the first time she had ever desperately wanted something.
There is absolutely no way we'll give it away.
Feng seemed unsurprised by this, and immediately followed suit after seeing her make a bid.
"One hundred and forty million."
The two of them kept raising the price by ten million, leaving everyone stunned.
The auctioneer, in particular, was incredibly excited.
She was assigned here not only because she was Xu Jiawei's relative, but also because she was a member of the Xu family clan. She was placed here because there was a lot of money to be made here; Xu Jiawei would ask her to do things and give her big rewards in return.
Originally, extracting a soul beast embryo that had been around for 100,000 years would yield a profit of several hundred thousand.
Now, with the addition of this Acacia Heartbreak Red, his income for just one night has reached a terrifying million-level figure, which is equivalent to a year's tax revenue for a certain city in the empire.
He actually earned it all in one night.
Just thinking about it makes me excited!
Add more, add more, the more the better. If you gods fight, who will get this broken stone? My Star Luo Empire will profit from it all.
But what kind of thing could possibly cause two women, as beautiful as celestial beings, to quarrel over this stone?
It's like their ancestors' graves are emitting auspicious smoke.
The price increased very quickly and terrifyingly; in just a few breaths, the price on the screen reached 250 million.
This price has shocked everyone. Even large countries cannot afford it; it would be a huge financial burden for them.
There are now two major forces bidding fiercely for the auction.
Raising the price by tens of millions is absolutely insane.
All for a broken rock.
Huo Yuhao was also stunned.
The Star Luo Empire's marketing is truly shrewd; they've inflated the price of a broken stone to 250 million, and it's estimated to go even higher.
Aren't they afraid of how things will end?
