Chapter 56
“Well, are you still bidding? It’s already 30 million. Bidding more might affect the competition for the last two treasures,” some participants were already backing out.
“Blood Jade Tokens don’t usually circulate. Seeing one at an auction is already rare. I don’t want to miss it. What if there’s really something I want there?” Another person muttered, then called out a high price of 35 million.
“Not many people know the secret of the Blood Jade Token. Many have gone there and returned. Not everyone gains something, and there might even be life-threatening dangers. Many have perished there. Without a compelling reason to go, these tens of millions aren’t worth spending. I’d better give up. It’s better to steadily buy some cultivation resources I need with these tens of millions,” someone contemplated.
Slowly, the Blood Jade Token was bid up to 40 million.Điscover new chapters at novelhall.com
Baizhi gritted her teeth, “45 million!”
Zhanyue beside her could see that this girl was determined to get this item.
“48 million!” At this price point, only two voices were left bidding.
“50 million!” Baizhi bid again.
“What a pity. If I didn’t need to save money for the items later, I’d really like to take this and experience it. What a shame.” The person bidding against her finally gave up. He knew that if he went higher, others would probably follow. 50 million was his psychological limit.
“50 million once, 50 million twice, 50 million thrice! Sold!” Bing Qianqiu hammered it down.
Baizhi let out a long sigh, her whole body going limp. This was a reaction to extreme tension. There had been no battle, but the previous bidding had used up all her mental energy.
Having achieved her wish, Baizhi had no interest in the later auction items. She just wanted to leave immediately, but leaving now would be too conspicuous.
“What exactly is this thing you bought for 50 million for?” Zhanyue leaned over, asking curiously.
The Profound Breaking Pill is useless to Profound Beings, but as Bing Qianqiu said, which Profound Being doesn’t have parents, wives, and children? Can all their relatives enter the Profound Realm? Five hundred years is too long, long enough to witness the passing of many loved ones.
“900 million!”
“1 billion!”
Zhanyue was stunned. These bids were increasing by 100 million each time. The value of this seventh-grade Profound Breaking Pill opened Zhanyue’s eyes.
“If someone had the Profound Breaking Pill formula, wouldn’t they directly become the world’s richest person?” Zhanyue muttered happily.
“Don’t even think about it. Someone once excavated fragments of the Profound Breaking Pill formula. Although it wasn’t complete, it gave some insight. Some key spirit materials for refining the Profound Breaking Pill are already extinct. Otherwise, why do you think a seventh-grade pill is so expensive?” Baizhi had woken up and heard Zhanyue’s self-talk, criticizing him.
In the end, the Profound Breaking Pill was bought for 2.3 billion by someone sent by the Sea Suppressing King. Everyone suddenly remembered that the Sea Suppressing King seemed to have a eldest son with mediocre cultivation aptitude, already over 60 but still at the ninth stage of Soul Control Realm, having eaten many Profound Entering Pills without effect. It seems that even Spirit God experts can’t forcibly make their family members enter the Profound Realm.
“Let’s go. Once we get the item, we’ll leave immediately. The three associations have done a good job with protection. We can leave through the secret passage to avoid being robbed.”
The auction officially ended, and everyone left. Some people’s eyes inevitably showed disappointment. Missing this Profound Breaking Pill might mean never having another chance. But the sky-high price of 2.3 billion deterred people. Besides, even if they continued bidding, it would still end up with the Sea Suppressing King in the end. Who could be richer than the City Lord of Pearl City?
After leaving through the secret passage, Baizhi took Zhanyue directly towards Black Whale Island. “Once we reach Black Whale Island, our transaction will be over. I’ll give you the pill formula.”
Baizhi had now recovered her spiritual power. After all, the two were about to part ways, and she didn’t want to continue being a helpless ordinary person.
Soon, the two boarded a fishing boat. After giving the fisherman some money, he took them towards Black Whale Island. Black Whale Island was to the east of Pearl City, not a bustling place or tourist attraction, rarely visited by people. Generally, only some fishermen would rest there.
However, at this moment, apart from Baizhi and Zhanyue, there were actually several other fishing boats sailing towards Black Whale Island. Zhanyue’s heart jolted, fearing that the trouble wasn’t over yet.
