Su Rou's expression changed slightly when she heard Lin Dong call out the price. She knew that Lin Dong was buying the Balance Spirit Fruit because she needed it, but the price of one million Nirvana Pills made her feel both touched and a little heartbroken.
"One million two hundred thousand!"
Before Song Tai could make a statement, a faint voice rang out from the front.
Without a doubt, it was Feng Cang of the Fengyun Dynasty. After calling out the bid, he slightly turned his head, glanced at Lin Dong indifferently, and curled his lips slightly, as if with a hint of mockery.
"One million five hundred thousand."
Although his plan to find a bargain was thwarted, Lin Dong wasn't going to give up immediately.
"One million seven hundred thousand," Feng Cang said lazily, seemingly enjoying the feeling of toying with others.
"Two million," Lin Dong said again.
"Hehe, as expected of someone who has obtained the inheritance of the Four Great Mystic Sects, you're quite well-off. Since you want it, then take it." As soon as the price reached two million, Feng Cang smiled faintly, glanced at Lin Dong with a playful look, waved his hand, and said.
Lin Dong merely chuckled dismissively at Feng Cang's actions, then a Qiankun bag flew out from his sleeve and landed in Song Tai's hand on the auction stage.
After the Qiankun Bag landed in his hand, Song Tai sighed slightly—this price was far from what he had in mind, but it was barely on par with the price the sect would pay for the Balance Spirit Fruit. So Song Tai flicked his finger, and the Balance Spirit Fruit shot towards Lin Dong.
"That guy is so evil!"
Watching Lin Dong leisurely put away the spiritual fruit and take his seat, Su Rou said angrily.
"Whether it's bad or not is hard to say, but it's definitely stupid," Xiao Yan chuckled. "One million one hundred thousand... Even if it were to be auctioned off, Lin Dong wouldn't dare to offer only that price. His intervention actually saved us a lot of Nirvana Pills."
"That's what people who don't know their stuff are like." Little Mink had a faint smile on his face.
However, although they had some Nirvana Pills left, Feng Cang's actions had truly disgusted them...
"Don't kill him outright," Xiao Yan said calmly. "Leave him half-alive. I think the Yin Sen people are still quite interested in his life."
"Okay, okay." Xiao Yuan nodded obediently.
Chapter 270 Black Dragon Roaring to the Sky Seal
The gazes in the auction hall gradually shifted away from Lin Dong, who had taken his seat. Everyone could see that the previous scene was deliberately orchestrated by the Fengyun Dynasty, simply to get Lin Dong to pay more Nirvana Pills.
Ahead, Mu Lin, the leader of the Lonely Moon Dynasty, watched this scene. He was quite surprised by Lin Dong's composure in controlling his emotions, and then he thought more highly of the latter.
"Since Feng Cang has angered Lin Dong so much, perhaps we can pull Lin Dong and Xiao Yan to our side when we make our move later..." Mu Lin said with a faint smile.
The Fengyun Dynasty, one of the four super dynasties in Wanxiang City, was at odds with the other three. After learning that the Fengyun Dynasty had three members at the Fourth Nirvana Realm, the three super dynasties secretly joined forces, preparing to completely annihilate the Fengyun Dynasty's team after the Wanxiang Auction ended.
“But those people from the Great Yan Dynasty have already clashed with Feng Cang and his group. Even if we don’t try to win them over, they will still make a move when they attack Feng Cang, right?” Mu Hanyue raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, puzzled.
“Lin Dong is at the Fourth Nirvana Realm, and Xiao Yan is probably not much different. After all, his name is listed as the number one Earth-level cultivator on the Nirvana Stele,” Mu Lin shook his head helplessly. “The other three… no matter how bad Lin Diao is, he can hold off Luo Tong, and the last few can deal with the rest of the Fengyun Dynasty.”
How could Feng Cang, that venomous snake, recklessly start a war with the Great Yan Dynasty? Don't be fooled by their apparent deep-seated hatred; with the core area opening imminent, a full-scale battle between them is impossible. But our relationship with the Fengyun Dynasty is different..."
Although Mu Lin was unaware of the specific conflicts between the Fengyun Dynasty and Xiao Yan and his group, there was no doubt that the conflict between the three super dynasties and the Fengyun Dynasty was irreconcilable. Even if he couldn't bring the Great Yan Dynasty group to his side, he at least had to get them to leave Wanxiang City and not get involved in the war between the four super dynasties...
As Mu Lin pondered the possibility of winning over Xiao Yan and the others, the bidding frenzy between Lin Dong and Feng Cang subsided, and Song Tai on the auction stage took out the next item for auction.
None of the items that Xiao Yan or Lin Dong wanted appeared in the subsequent auctions. As each item was successfully sold, the number of light orbs floating in the air in front of Song Tai decreased until finally, only one remained.
At this point, a strange commotion began to break out in the room, with all eyes burning with intense, almost scalding heat, fixed on the single purple orb of light on the auction stage.
This is the real trump card of this Vientiane City auction – a Heavenly Rank Spiritual Treasure!
Sensing the increasingly heavy breathing in the arena, Song Tai smiled faintly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the next item to be auctioned is the final item of this auction. Of course, you probably already know what this item is," Song Tai said with a warm smile, "that's right, a Heavenly Rank Spiritual Treasure!"
Song Tai's words completely confirmed the existence of the last trump card, immediately causing a stir in the auction hall. The eyes of the four super dynasties that had been silent all along suddenly turned fiery.
The ball of light slowly descended and landed in Song Tai's hand. The purple light then subtly diminished, and finally, under the unblinking gazes of countless eyes, it fully appeared in everyone's sight.
It was a black iron seal, its color deep and ancient. Mysterious patterns covered the area around the seal, and at the top of the seal was a winding, coiled black dragon with its head raised to the sky, as if it could awe the heavens and the earth.
"This is the final item up for auction, a Heaven-Rank Spiritual Treasure, the Black Dragon Roaring to the Sky Seal!"
Song Tai's voice completely ignited the auction, and the atmosphere reached its peak at that moment!
"Is this a properly crafted Heaven-Rank spiritual treasure?"
Lin Dong's gaze fell on the black iron seal, his eyes filled with curiosity. Unlike Xiao Yan, whose spiritual power was only at the Lesser Stage of Immortal Talisman Master, he had not seen this Heavenly Rank Spiritual Treasure beforehand!
“A dragon spirit is sealed inside,” Xiao Yan clicked his tongue. “Aside from that, the materials aren’t actually that good, and the refining technique is a bit rough… cough, of course, this is in comparison to the Vermilion Bird Palace Master!”
Sensing Lin Dong's strange gaze, Xiao Yan coughed lightly, indicating that the second half of his statement was not actually his own opinion.
"So, can you rework it?"
Although Xiao Yan's second half of his sentence was a bit boastful, Lin Dong knew that he was far inferior to Xiao Yan in weapon crafting—even though Xiao Yan had copied the weapon crafting knowledge he inherited from the Vermilion Bird Palace for him.
"Reforge it?" Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment. "The dragon spirit inside is fine, but the external materials... it's not feasible. That material doesn't support a second forging; we'll have to replace it with a new one."
"For example, the Gold of Life?" Lin Dong asked with a slight upturn of his lips.
"That's such a waste," Xiao Yan complained. "Although the Life Gold is very malleable, its original form is only a fifth-grade metal. This Dragon Spirit is at least at the Life Profound Realm... Ah, no, you refined the Life Gold into a Soul Weapon, didn't you?"
In the end, Xiao Yan suddenly remembered the final fate of the Life Gold he had found back then.
"So, that means it's possible?" Lin Dong raised an eyebrow, clearly excited.
“…Yes, but you’ll have to do it yourself if you’re using it to enhance your soul weapon,” Xiao Yan nodded after thinking for a moment. “If you have any questions, you can ask me directly.”
"Row!"
Xiao Yan and Lin Dong were both preparing to take the Black Dragon Roaring Heaven Seal, not to mention the leaders of the super dynasties at the front. If Song Tai hadn't been holding the Black Dragon Roaring Heaven Seal, those men with obvious greed on their faces might have just snatched it.
"Black Dragon Roaring to the Sky Seal, a Heavenly Rank Spiritual Treasure, starting bid... eight million Nirvana Pills!"
Finally, Song Tai shifted his gaze from the black iron seal in his hand to the massive auction hall below. His expression paused slightly before he spoke calmly.
"Eight million five hundred thousand!"
It seems that the four super dynasties ahead have been waiting for this Heaven-Rank Spiritual Treasure for far too long. Therefore, as soon as Song Tai finished speaking, Feng Cang was the first to speak.
After announcing the price, Feng Cang's sharp eyes swept around, displaying an overbearing attitude that he was determined to win and that anyone who dared to compete with him would become an enemy of the Fengyun Dynasty.
"Nine million." However, Feng Cang's attitude had no effect on the leaders of the other super dynasties. As soon as Feng Cang finished speaking, Mu Lin sneered.
"Nine million five hundred thousand!" This time, the bidder was the leader of the Li Huo Dynasty.
"Ten million!"
The auction had barely begun when the Forest Dynasty raised the price to ten million, a price that perhaps only a few super dynasties could afford.
Upon hearing the price, a cold glint flashed in Feng Cang's eyes. He then stood up abruptly. "I don't have time to waste playing games with you here..."
"Twenty million."
However, before Feng Cang could reveal his trump card and announce the price he had prepared in advance, which could crush the other three super dynasties, a faint voice doubled the price of ten million.
Upon hearing this voice, Feng Cang turned his head with a cold expression and looked at Xiao Yan, "What, can a guy like you from a low-level dynasty really produce so many Nirvana Pills?"
In the auction hall, all eyes were focused on Xiao Yan, and their eyes were filled with some doubt. Although Xiao Yan and his companions had proven their strength and potential in front of the Nirvana Stele a few days ago, they were ultimately from a low-level dynasty. Could a low-level dynasty really produce so many Nirvana Pills?
“No need to trouble yourself,” Xiao Yan’s gaze fell on Song Tai. “I think if I can’t produce enough Nirvana Pills, Mr. Song won’t let us off the hook, will he?”
Following Xiao Yan's gaze, Feng Cang also looked at Song Tai on the auction stage.
On the auction stage, Song Tai frowned slightly, then said calmly, "If you can't produce it, strip the Nirvana Seal, banish the dynasty from the Ancient Battlefield, and prohibit it from participating in the next Hundred Dynasties War."
Hearing what Song Tai said, and glancing at Xiao Yan's calm expression, Feng Cang had to admit that the people of this low-level dynasty might really have 20 million Nirvana Pills.
"Damn it..." After cursing under his breath, Feng Cang grinned, a chilling smile spreading across his face. "Thirty million. That's all the Nirvana Pills our Fengyun Dynasty has. Can you produce more?"
“Brother Xiao Yan, our Lonely Moon Dynasty has a total of 16 million Nirvana Pills. You are welcome to continue bidding!”
However, just as Feng Cang finished speaking and before Xiao Yan could make another offer, Mu Lin suddenly stood up and said, "All you need is for your Great Yan Dynasty to join forces with us to completely defeat the Fengyun Dynasty, and then we can use the Nirvana Pills they possess to pay for it!"
Wow!
In an instant, the atmosphere in the entire venue became even more intense.
Although everyone in Wanxiang City knew that the Lonely Moon Dynasty, the Forest Dynasty, and the Blazing Fire Dynasty were at odds with the Wind and Cloud Dynasty, most people thought they would maintain this state until they entered the core area before tearing off the mask. However, they did not expect that the arrival of the Great Yan Dynasty would bring forward the time for tearing off the mask so much!
"Our Li Huo Dynasty also has fifteen million Nirvana Pills," the bare-chested burly man, the leader of the Li Huo Dynasty, laughed. "If Brother Xiao Yan needs them, he can take them. Just return them after the Feng Yun Dynasty's forces are wiped out!"
The leader of the Li Huo Dynasty's statement raised the atmosphere to a new peak.
Everyone became excited, and all eyes turned to Wu Tuo of the Forest Dynasty. Everyone knew that the Forest Dynasty and the Wind and Cloud Dynasty had the worst relationship in Wanxiang City. So, now that they were kicking a dog when it was down, would the people of the Forest Dynasty make a move?
Even Song Tai on the auction stage looked at Wu Tuo with curiosity. Clearly, he was also curious about Wu Tuo's choice—especially since he knew that the Forest Dynasty and the Wind and Cloud Dynasty had long since joined forces!
Under everyone's gaze, Wu Tuo felt a pang of hesitation. He felt that it was not appropriate to still stand on the side of the Fengyun Dynasty...
"Wutuo, give me your fifteen million Nirvana Pills!"
Upon seeing the hesitation on Wu Tuo's face, Feng Cang coldly shouted. If the three super dynasties and the Great Yan Dynasty joined forces, their Fengyun Dynasty would surely be doomed. Therefore, the only thing they could do at the moment was to completely win over the Senzhi Dynasty to their side!
Hearing Feng Cang's words, those who were unaware of the situation were all shocked. Wu Tuo's hesitation earlier had already puzzled them, but when combined with Feng Cang's words...
For a moment, the people of the Lonely Moon Dynasty and the Blazing Fire Dynasty looked at Wu Tuo in disbelief.
'The bold get rich, the timid starve; besides, my Forest Dynasty is the one who will decide the outcome!'
Having become the center of attention, Wu Tuo gritted his teeth, stood up, and threw a Qiankun bag at Feng Cang, saying, "After you deal with them, I want double the Nirvana Pills!"
"Don't worry, you'll get your share!" After letting out a sigh of relief, Feng Cang said coldly. Then, his ferocious gaze turned to Xiao Yan, who was standing still, quietly waiting for things to develop. "You've managed to push my Fengyun Dynasty to this point, which is quite an achievement. However, the one who laughs last will always be our Fengyun Dynasty!"
"Including the Nirvana Pills from the Lonely Moon Dynasty and the Blazing Fire Dynasty, you have a total of 51 million, right?" Feng Cang sneered, but a hint of heartache still flashed across his face. "53 million, and the Black Dragon Roaring to the Sky Seal, my Fengyun Dynasty wants it!"
Feng Cang's face was contorted with rage, even contorted, clearly showing signs of fury. This price had exceeded his expectations: 53 million Nirvana Pills for a Heaven-Rank Spiritual Treasure...
This isn't a question of whether it's expensive or not. If others knew, they might think he was a sucker. After all, there are very few people in this world willing to pay twice the price for a Heaven-Rank Spiritual Treasure.
But what could he do?
He had been driven to the brink by the people of the Lonely Moon Dynasty, the Blazing Fire Dynasty, and the Great Yan Dynasty. If he could not acquire this Heavenly Rank Spiritual Treasure, his head would be severed from his neck once he left the Myriad Elephant City Auction House!
Seeing Feng Cang lost in his own lament, Song Tai who, after watching the show, felt that the ownership of the Heavenly Rank Spiritual Treasure was already decided and stopped asking if anyone would continue to bid, and the pale-faced leaders of the Lonely Moon Dynasty and the Blazing Fire Dynasty, Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment, thinking that it would be better not to continue bidding.
Although he still had billions of Nirvana Pills that he had extracted from the Dan River in the Vermilion Bird Palace, those were non-renewable resources. Moreover, since someone was willing to buy this spiritual treasure for him, why should he pay for it out of his own pocket?
"The Black Dragon Roaring Heaven Seal, final auction price: 53 million Nirvana Pills!"
The final announcement finally came from Song Tai's mouth, bringing this farce to a close.
A Qiankun bag filled with 53 million Nirvana Pills flew through the air and landed in Song Tai's hand. After counting the number, Song Tai waved his hand, and the black iron seal turned into a black light and shot out. Finally, it was grabbed by Feng Cang, who was showing signs of madness.
"Today, I will make you wish you were dead!" Feng Cang's roar was filled with chilling killing intent.
