Chapter 683: Chapter 674: I’m Not Lacking in Spirit Stones
"Ten million spirit stones, that’s absolutely an astronomical price!"
For ordinary cultivators, it might be impossible to possess such wealth in their entire lives.
However, compared to a drop of Qiongqi essence blood, ten million spirit stones
seemed somewhat insufficient.
According to everyone’s estimates, this drop of essence blood could at least fetch over twenty million spirit stones!
In fact, not everyone could make use of this drop of essence blood.
Otherwise, its price would definitely not be just this.
Generally speaking, essence blood contained highly concentrated essence of Heaven and Earth, which ordinary people could not absorb.
Only those like Mo Wangchen, who possessed special physiques and were suspected of being supreme geniuses, could absorb it.
Otherwise, their bodies would literally burst from not being able to withstand the essence of Heaven and Earth within the blood, resulting in complete destruction of both body and soul!
"Master Bai Le has offered ten million spirit stones, is there anyone willing to bid higher?" Lin Xiaxue’s gaze swept over Bai Le, who stood by the window of private room number one, and a hint of wariness flashed through her eyes. They were contemporaries, and Bai Le’s strength was not to be underestimated by her.
The crowd fell silent, not a word was spoken; clearly, the price of ten million spirit stones had exceeded what those in the main hall could afford, and some in the private rooms on the second floor were unwilling to offend Bai Le, thus refraining from bidding.
Of course, the Xiaotian Sect was strong but not invincible, and not everyone present feared them.
For example, the alchemists in the private rooms on the second floor, with their status as Holy Rank alchemists, naturally did not fear a single Xiaotian Sect.
But these alchemists had yet to speak up because their goal was the Four-Leaf Ginseng. While they were tempted by the essence blood, the number of alchemists present that day was too great. Who knew how intense the bidding would get later?
Rather than expend over ten million spirit stones now to compete for essence blood of limited use to them, it was better to conserve strength and go all out when bidding for the Four-Leaf Ginseng later.
"Ten million spirit stones, the first call."
With no one speaking up, Lin Xiaxue began the auction process.
She held a small wooden hammer in her delicate hand; once it came down, it would confirm the owner of the essence blood.
"Ten million spirit stones, the second call."
Bai Le would secure the essence blood after the third call.
Seeing Lin Xiaxue mention the second call, a smile also appeared on Bai Le’s face; clearly, everyone present seemed to be giving him face.
"Thank you all..." Bai Le, standing before the window, showed a polite smile and gestured a hand salute to those around him, even before Lin Xiaxue could bring down the hammer.
"Eleven million!"
However, before Bai Le’s words had fallen, a faint voice from private room number six cut through the silence—Mo Wangchen’s voice.
"Ah!"
The hall, already somewhat silent, was clearly resonating with Mo Wangchen’s voice.
Everyone instinctively paused, including Lin Xiaxue, who was about to knock the hammer down, all turning to look in the direction of private room number six.
"Who is making that bid?"
Surprise was evident on everyone’s faces; they were eager to know who exactly was inside private room number six.
"Could it be some Alchemy Dao Master?" someone speculated. "Otherwise, why would they risk offending Bai Le, the future Saint Master of the Xiaotian Sect, just for a drop of essence blood?"
But this thought was soon dismissed by others. "The voice sounds quite young; it’s probably not an Alchemy Dao Master. Maybe it’s a Divine Son from one of the Sacred Lands."
Those who could enter the second-floor private rooms naturally had significant backgrounds. Listening to Mo Wangchen’s voice, which was extremely young, other than the Divine Sons of the Sacred Lands, and doubting the Young Kings of the Ancient Clans, who else could he be?
"May I know who the friend in room six is?"
In the first private room by the window, Bai Le furrowed his brows, his gaze turning towards the number six room where Mo Wangchen was. "This drop of essence blood is extremely important to me. I hope my friend, you can give me some face."
Everyone remained silent, not a single sound was made, and the atmosphere in the auction house suddenly grew tense because of Mo Wangchen’s unexpected bid.
"Private room number six..."
On the auction stage, Lin Xiaxue’s face showed surprise, which she quickly hid. She was aware that the person in room six was Mo Wangchen.
After all, it was she who had arranged this private room for him yesterday.
However, she hadn’t expected that he would also take part in the auction for the Qiongqi essence blood.
Although when she first met Mo Wangchen yesterday, he appeared to have an extraordinary temperament, maybe that of a Divine Son from a Sacred Land, his cultivation seemed not to be very high. It was not even as high as her own, let alone comparable to Bai Le.
Wasn’t he afraid of offending Bai Le?
After a moment of silence throughout the venue, there was still no sound from room number six. Then, after a long while, Mo Wangchen’s voice finally rang out again, "Sorry, this drop of essence blood is also very important to me. I’m afraid I cannot accommodate you."
Hearing this, Bai Le frowned even more. He was currently at the sixth level of the Emperor Realm, just one step away from the seventh level.
If he could get this drop of essence blood, he was confident that he would be able to break through successfully, and then, he would also be a true Emperor Realm Great Mahayana strongman.
"Twelve million," Bai Le called out.
Following this, he looked again towards the number six room where Mo Wangchen was, speaking lightly, "My friend, if you would yield this essence blood to me, once this auction is over, I will personally give you five million spirit stones. How about that? I, Bai Le, am willing to become friends with you."
"Giving five million spirit stones personally..."
Upon hearing these words, the crowd was all flabbergasted; it was no small sum they were discussing.
Together with the twelve million for the essence blood itself, that meant Bai Le was ready to shell out seventeen million spirit stones.
This was clearly beyond what any individual could afford. Only a Divine Son of a great Sacred Land like Bai Le would possess such boldness, right?
"Thirteen million!"
While the crowd was abuzz with discussions, Mo Wangchen’s voice came once more from room six, "Sorry, I am not lacking in spirit stones, and moreover, it seems... I don’t need friends."
"What audacity!"
These words made many in attendance gasp in amazement.
"Hmph!"
Bai Le’s expression darkened, turning colder. He snorted, narrowing his eyes, "Since that’s the case, I’m curious to see just how little you care for spirit stones. Fifteen million!"
"From thirteen million to fifteen million, a direct increase of two million spirit stones..."
Many were stunned by such bidding; it was almost as if they didn’t consider spirit stones as real currency at all.
"If Young Master Mo wishes to bid, please go ahead. The Rejuvenation Water that was appraised yesterday is worth around one hundred million. Our Tianyuan Auction can provide you with the funds to bid for this drop of essence blood. We can deduct it later from the sale of your Rejuvenation Water,"
While others were discussing, Mo Wangchen had already quietly sent a message to Lin Xiaxue, inquiring about something. He had received her response.
Now, spirit stones were not an issue for him. He owned the endless Divine Spring, for Mo Wangchen, spirit stones were just a concept.
After a moment of silence, he finally spoke again, "Twenty million!"
