Chapter 251: The Ultimate Finale Treasure!

Chapter 251: The Ultimate Finale Treasure!

Upon hearing General Deng Xian's words, a silence descended upon the auction venue.

It seemed that the individual bidding against General Deng Xian in the box behind had indeed once been a benefactor of General Deng.

The crowd was filled with astonishment. Just how influential was the person in that ordinary box to have garnered such a profound debt of gratitude from the renowned General Deng?

"Haha, an old friend is always an old friend!" Yan Cangtian chuckled as he smoothed his long beard, his gaze shifting towards Ling Feng. With a sense of triumph, he remarked, "Well, kid, the Sword Enlightenment Stone is definitely yours now!"

"Indeed it is, thanks to you, Elder Yan!"

Ling Feng felt a subtle thrill coursing through him. Once he obtained that Sword Enlightenment Stone, his Slaughterous Sword Will would be able to fully take shape, and his strength would naturally soar once again.

Observing the lack of further bids, the auctioneer picked up the small wooden hammer from the podium and gently tapped it against the surface. With a flourish, he announced, "And so, this seven-inch Sword Enlightenment Stone is claimed by the esteemed guest in VIP box number 1-2-7! Congratulations!"

Soon, the Sword Enlightenment Stone was delivered to Ling Feng's box. After paying with high-grade elemental stones, the seven-inch Sword Enlightenment Stone finally landed in Ling Feng's grasp.

As Ling Feng held the stone, excitement surged within him. He could feel the powerful sword qi emanating from it and faintly resonating with the sword embryo in his sea of mind.

After carefully stowing away the Sword Enlightenment Stone, Ling Feng felt thoroughly satisfied. Tonight's endeavor had not been in vain.

The Sword Enlightenment Stone ultimately fetched a price of forty-five thousand high-grade elemental stones. The auctioneer's face betrayed a hint of satisfaction at that hefty sum. With such a substantial commission, he would be set for quite some time.

The auctioneer's smile faded as his expression turned serious. "Next up is the final item of this auction."

Glancing at the list in his hand, he noticed a deviation from the originally planned treasured items. Chuckling softly, he continued, "This last treasure is truly remarkable. It wasn't the one originally intended for the grand finale, but due to unexpected acquisitions tonight, the guild has decided to make this change!"

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere grew intensely vibrant. Items temporarily substituted at the last minute were typically of extraordinary value.

A glint of fiery anticipation immediately flickered in everyone's eyes.

Ling Feng and Yan Cangtian exchanged glances, unable to resist commenting. "Could it be that the last-minute treasured item substitution is for the twelve medicinal pills we used to trade for those high-grade elemental stones?"

Yan Cangtian nodded. "It's quite possible. While a single ancient medicinal pill alone might not suffice as a grand finale, the combined impact of twelve... Well, even the elders of the Alchemist Guild might scramble for them!"

After introducing the pills, the auctioneer highlighted how they had been praised by the appraisers, building up their prestige before getting to the main point.

"Now, onto the auction!" The auctioneer declared with a hearty laugh. "These twelve incredibly precious ancient medicinal pills have a starting bid of one hundred thousand high-grade elemental stones. Let the bidding begin!"

One hundred thousand!

This price had already surpassed the limits of affordability for ordinary martial artists.

These were treasures reserved exclusively for the distinguished individuals in the VIP boxes.

Given that alchemy was generally a wealthy profession, the final price for these twelve ancient medicinal pills would undoubtedly be staggering.

"One hundred and fifty thousand!"

Right from the beginning, a weathered voice, deep and commanding, rang out from VIP seat number six. It promptly raised the bid by fifty thousand, showcasing its owner's immense capital.

It was worth noting that fifty thousand high-grade elemental stones equated to one hundred million crystal coins!

Ling Feng's heart surged with shockwaves, his expression changing repeatedly. It was no wonder Master Jing Xuan had warned that selling directly to the Tianmeng Chamber of Commerce would undoubtedly result in significant losses for himself.

Sure enough, a mere bid from someone else already resulted in a loss of thirty thousand for Ling Feng!

In contrast, Yan Cangtian appeared completely unfazed. These deeply experienced high-tier alchemists were indeed formidable individuals, and they were undeniably incredibly wealthy.

"One hundred and eighty thousand!" Without hesitation, VIP box number eleven swiftly countered, adding another thirty thousand high-grade elemental stones to the bid.

The increasing numbers sent the hearts of ordinary guests racing and their faces flushing with excitement.

Now, these were the true heavyweights!

As for individuals like Luo Shao from South City and the local Ye Tianchen...

They were nothing more than mere clowns!
