Chapter 794: Chapter 788: Full of Confidence (3 more)
From the starting price of half a billion to thirty billion.
How crazy is that?
The first bid, a sixfold increase.
This was absolutely the first time in the history of the Sacred Auction House.
After Su Chen spoke, the entire hall seemed to be thrust into an endless void of darkness.
Every Martial Cultivator felt as if their blood had stopped flowing.
Their scalps exploded with a crackling sound.
Crazy!
This wasn’t madness, then what was?
Could it be he has so much money it would bite him if he didn’t spend it?
Even Elder Ji was somewhat stunned; he stared at Su Chen uncertainly and asked, "Young Master Su, are you sure your bid is thirty billion?"
"Yes, thirty billion," Su Chen nodded.
Elder Ji smiled wryly; he had thought that this damaged Small Tower would not attract any interest, as its value wasn’t significant to anyone except Artifact Refiners.
Unexpectedly...
It seemed Su Chen really, really wanted to have it.
In the hall, people like Wei Lin, Nangong Jie, Nangong Ao, and others had an indescribable sense of defeat and rage.
Thirty billion!!! Was it just a number? They had always considered themselves wealthy.
But now, compared to Su Chen, were they not beggars?
How they wished to place a bid as well, to give Su Chen a hard time, but they dared not. What if Su Chen backed out and they had to take over this damaged Small Tower? Spending tens of billions?
Besides, apart from a very few people like Lu Yuanfang and Wei Lin, there weren’t many who could come up with a price over thirty billion! Bidding required verification by the small platform to ensure one had the funds.
Thus.
After Su Chen’s bid.
There was no second bidder.
Only silence remained.
Having waited for quite a while, although reluctantly, Elder Ji had no choice but to say, "Thirty billion, for the first time. Thirty billion, for the second time. Thirty billion for the third time."
Deal.
A bizarre transaction occurred, a bid called, and a success on the first offer, with no second bid or follow-up, which was incredibly rare.
After obtaining the damaged Small Tower, Su Chen’s face was expressionless, but inside he was nearly laughing aloud, too excited to describe, almost wishing he could find a place right away to absorb the Evil Qi within the Small Tower.
Of course, he could only endure for now.
This was only the fifth item.
There were eleven treasures left.
His anticipation grew even more.
And for everyone else present, only endless envy and curiosity remained.
Just how much money did Su Chen have?
He had spent nearly a hundred billion Black Xuan Stones!
Five items!
Five treasures!
He was making history!
Moreover, five consecutive items!
By now, people were beginning to doubt the information they had received. Did Su Chen truly hail from the lower dynasties? Or was he from the Buddha Domain? When did dynasties become so rich?
"Su Chen, you really have money to burn," Su Wanqing sighed. "It’s too much of a bully."
Su Wanqing felt sorry for everyone present.
Meeting Su Chen, they were doomed to gain nothing today.
Others didn’t know, but she knew that for Su Chen, Black Xuan Stones were just a number!!!
As much as he wanted, that’s how much he had.
How could the others compete?
Not even the Emperor of Nan’e would be able to do anything about it if he were present!
"Next, the sixth treasure. This treasure is one that I, myself, am quite fond of," said Elder Ji from the stage with a mysterious smile, "Can any of you guess what treasure it is?"
In the hall, all martial cultivators forcefully pulled back their shock, jealousy, and curiosity towards Su Chen, directing their gaze towards the stage, staring at the red cloth.
Everyone was curious and expectant...
But, no one made wild guesses.
"Haha... Let the old man reveal the secret!" Then, Elder Ji mysteriously unveiled the red cloth.
As the red cloth was lifted.
In an instant!
The entire hall was filled with a chorus of sharp intakes of breath.
Almost everyone’s eyes sparkled with greed, desire, and restless anticipation.
"Yes, as you can see, this is a pair of Teleportation Scrolls!!!" Elder Ji declared solemnly, "The legendary Teleportation Scrolls, their purpose, need I say more?"
The sound of people gasping in the hall intensified and became more pronounced.
Teleportation Scrolls? These are the stuff of legends.
It is said that in the Ancient Era, there were powerful beings who had comprehended the Space Law, and they were able to create Teleportation Arrays and Teleportation Scrolls, among other things.
Later, due to the great disaster that ended the Ancient Era, nearly all the Supreme Powerhouses and powerful beings of that era perished.
It was a complete disconnect.
In this era, there are absolutely no Teleportation Arrays—perhaps the Buddha Domain might have them, but within the Four Great Ancient Nations, there are none!
And Teleportation Scrolls have also become so rare that they’re nearly the stuff of legends. Over ninety-nine percent of the geniuses, powerhouses, and heirs of major forces present have only heard of them and never seen them with their own eyes.
A pair of Teleportation Scrolls has a simple use: one person holds a scroll, and another person holds the other. If you’re in danger, the other person can instantly come to your aid using the Teleportation Scroll.
Their usefulness is simply immense!
Almost everyone present was heated with desire!
"This treasure starts at a base price of ten billion!" Elder Ji announced in a heavy tone.
No sooner had Elder Ji finished speaking than Wei Lin, Tian Sanlin, Yao Zheng, and at least a dozen others began to bid.
"Fifteen billion!"
"Twenty billion!"
"Twenty-one billion!"
"Twenty-five billion!"
..........
In a flash, the bid had reached the figure of thirty-five billion.
At this number, many were forced to painfully give up because they simply didn’t have that much money.
Nangong Jie then said to Nangong Ao and Nangong Hui, "Give me all the Black Xuan Stones. We must secure these Teleportation Scrolls—I’ll owe you!"
Nangong Ao and Nangong Hui hesitated at first, but then nodded their heads in agreement.
Among them, Nangong Hui took out four to five billion, Nangong Ao contributed twelve billion, and Nangong Jie himself had thirty-three billion, which amounted to fifty billion in total.
Fifty billion? Nangong Jie squinted his eyes, thinking that it still wasn’t secure enough.
He knew that Tian Sanlin, Yao Zheng, and Lu Yuanfang among others were wealthy.
Therefore, Nangong Jie borrowed from some others around him.
As the Fourth Prince, one of the most favored by the Royal Family, he had considerable influence, and few dared refuse him when he asked to borrow.
Soon.
Nangong Jie’s funds had reached over seventy billion.
Nangong Jie smiled!!!
Full of confidence.
"Forty billion!" Nangong Jie shouted.
Immediately, Wei Lin’s expression slightly changed; forty billion was beyond her capacity to afford.
The Wei Family Member beside her reminded, "Miss, this is only the sixth item, and there are still nine treasures to come. Although the Teleportation Scroll is extremely precious, we clearly can’t compete with the others. It might be better to step back—there could be even better things later on."
Wei Lin nodded, indicating her withdrawal from the bidding.
Tian Sanlin, however, said with a smirk, "Fourth Prince, this Teleportation Scroll is a must-have for me! Fifty billion!!!"
