Chapter 641: Six Paths Celestial Tree

Auctioned items could not be claimed until the auction was over, so after the Associated Chalcedony was removed, the auction continued.

Next, about a dozen items were auctioned off in a row.

These treasures included Divine Artifacts and Divine Abilities, each of which was not of ordinary value, thus igniting a fierce competition that intensified the atmosphere in the auction house.

Ordinary Sovereign Stage experts no longer had the means to bid as the auction progressed. Every bid that followed was made by major powers with an Earth Sovereign at the helm, and there was no shortage of Greater Earth Sovereigns among them.

However, the items Xiao Ming was anticipating had yet to appear.

He wanted to refine a pill called the Spiritual Transformation Pill. The effects of the pill were rather ordinary; it merely accelerated the transformation of Spiritual Energy and aided in recovery.

In order for it to be effective for someone of his strength level, the main ingredients were naturally of a high grade.

The main ingredients needed were threefold: the "Withering Luxuriant Divine Fruit," the "Six Paths Celestial Tree," and the "Stellar Origin Fruit."

He knew that two of these items would be available at this auction, but so far, none had been presented.

It was well known that the later in the auction, the higher the price would be to secure an item. More importantly, aside from a single bid from the Fire Spirit Clan, the heavyweights in those small pavilions had yet to make a move.

The Sovereign Spiritual Liquids in Xiao Ming's possession were mostly contributions from evildoers he had previously encountered, amounting to just over fifty million.

Although it seemed like a lot, it would hardly be enough to purchase the three types of medicinal ingredients.

Was he to be reduced to eating soft rice?

TL/N: A man sponging off a richer woman.

Xiao Ming glanced at Qing Yanjing beside him, who seemed to sense his gaze and smiled warmly at him.

Time passed slowly amidst Xiao Ming's contemplation. After the fourteenth item was auctioned off, the fifteenth item finally snapped him back to reality.

On the stage, the white-robed elder held something that emitted six different yet extremely dazzling rays of light that intersected and resonated with each other like the cycles of reincarnation, enveloping the entire auction house in their glow.

A unique fluctuation began to fill the place.

The auction house fell silent for a moment as all eyes focused intently on the divine medicine emitting six rays of light. With their keen vision, the attendees could clearly see that the six rays were emanating from the ends of different branches of a small tree about a foot long. Each branch and even the leaves bore mysterious runes.

Xiao Ming straightened up and his heart filled with joy upon seeing this. The Six Paths Celestial Tree he had been waiting for had finally appeared.

At this moment, some activity could be heard from the small pavilions at the front, as focused gazes were cast towards the stage, clearly drawn by the item.

Sure enough, under everyone's watchful eyes, the price of the Six Paths Celestial Tree soon broke through twenty million Sovereign Spiritual Liquids.

At this stage, both the young master of the White Jade Tower and the lord of the Nine Heavens Continent seemed overwhelmed, their expressions uncertain and clearly hesitant.

"Twenty-one million!"

Just as the two hesitated, a clear voice rang out, causing both of their expressions to change as they abruptly looked up to see that it was the pretty boy who had been perceived as eating soft rice at the beginning of the auction who had made the bid.

Countless astonished gazes turned to Xiao Ming. Had they misjudged him earlier? Was this young man backed by a major power? Otherwise, how could someone so young dare to bid twenty-one million?

Xiao Ming remained calm amidst the surprised looks, his gaze fixed solely on the "Six Paths Celestial Tree" on the auction stage, ignoring everyone else.

The young master of the White Jade Tower and the lord of the Nine Heavens Continent exchanged glances but ultimately did not continue bidding.

Just when everyone thought the bidding was over, a bid came from the pavilion of the Fire Spirit Clan.

"Twenty-two million!"

'This Fire Spirit Clan all cultivate fire attribute Divine Arts, why would they need the Six Paths Celestial Tree? This sudden bid is just to deliberately raise the price, right?'

Qing Yanjing couldn't help but snort coldly as she witnessed this scene. She hadn't expected that their earlier bidding for the Associated Chalcedony had offended the Fire Spirit Clan. No wonder the Fire Spirit Clan had been in decline over the years; the temperament of its members was far too petty!

"Just keep outbidding until you crush them to death! I'll cover the rest if you run out of Sovereign Spiritual Liquids," Qing Yanjing said as she waved her hand in a grand manner.

Xiao Ming smiled calmly, though impatience flickered in his eyes.

"Twenty-three million!"

"Twenty-four million!" the Fire Spirit Clan immediately followed.

"Twenty-five million!"

This time, the Fire Spirit Clan did not bid again.

Inside the Fire Spirit Clan's pavilion, Old Yan, who had witnessed the previous bidding, frowned.

"Why didn't the young master stop the other young masters from raising the price earlier?"

"The Divine Flame cannot be lost. Previously, this young master didn't want to quarrel over the Associated Chalcedony, thinking the other party would stop there. Unexpectedly, that man is still able to produce such a large amount of Sovereign Spiritual Liquids, even though his Spiritual Energy is obviously not strong. Something is strange. Therefore, there is no harm in consuming some of his funds just in case he dares to be interested in the Divine Flame, and it also serves as a way to vent some anger."

"However, this young master is also aware of your concerns, Old Yan. Don't worry, from now on, I will prevent them from further inflating the prices, lest we bid recklessly and end up with the item ourselves," Huo Mo replied indifferently.
