One Trillion Immortal Stones! (4K)
The Yanxia City Auction with people.
Xiuzhenzhe come and go from Divine Flame Mountain gather here, either to rest or to trade; many of them are powerful cultivators.
Xiao Fan saw many Loose Immortals at the Auction, as well as powerful Immortal Emperors sitting in private boxes, or disciples of Holy Lands and Immortal Gate.
"The people of the High Antiquity Wan Household have arrived!"
"Someone from the Wan Household has also come to Yanxia City?"
"The Wan Household is High Antiquity Cultivation Aristocratic Clan, and they also need Cultivation Resources. It's not surprising that they came to Yanxia City to purchase a batch of heavenly materials and earthly treasures."
"Young Master Wan, please come in."
The disciples of the Quicksand Sect fawned over the people who had come from the Wan Household.
These High Antiquity Cultivation Aristocratic Clan held a status equivalent to that of the Human Race Holy Land.
High Antiquity Wan Household?
Xiao Fan's eyes sharpened, and he pulled the hood of his outer robe over his head without uttering a sound.
He had heard his father say that the Xiao Household was a powerful Cultivation Aristocratic Clan in High Antiquity times.
Later, the Household Ancestor Xiao passed away, and some Cultivation Aristocratic Clan seized and plundered his property, causing the Xiao Household's Cultivation Method and treasures to be lost, ultimately reducing him to a third-rate Lineage in a small city.
After the death of the Household Ancestor Xiao, the Wan Household spared no effort in suppressing the Xiao Household.
The Wan Household patriarch and the Household Ancestor Xiao had a considerable feud, which led to the decline of the Xiao Household, Wan Household taking advantage of the situation.
If the Wan Household were to find out that the Xiao Household had once again produced Heaven-Conquering Tyrant Body, they would definitely eliminate him completely.
Xiao Fan tried to keep a low profile in front of his enemies.
The man referred to as Young Master Wan by the Quicksand Sect was White-Clad Man. He slightly raised his gaze, surrounded by a group of white-clad men and women carrying Long Swords.
Clearly, this person held an extraordinary position among the High Antiquity Wan Household.
The Auction proceed as scheduled.
The Auction hosted by an Elder of the Quicksand Sect, who possessed the Immortal Emperor Realm cultivation.
Because the Auction was held monthly, the Quicksand Sect was used to it and thought it was just an ordinary Auction.
Xiao Fan didn't choose a more expensive private room because he didn't want to attract attention, and sat in an ordinary seat like the other Xiuzhenzhe.
There are quite a few Xiuzhenzhe like Xiao Fan who wear black robes to conceal their identities.
Yanxia City is a melting pot of all sorts of people, with disciples from various Holy Lands and Sects residing there.
Beside Xiao Fan was a Xiuzhenzhe wearing a black hooded robe. His face was obscured, but a faint fragrance could be detected.
Xiao Fan didn't care.
"Earthcore Fire Taro, a Fifteenth Grade and heavenly materials and earthly treasures, is edible, enhances True Qi, and can also be used as an ingredient in alchemy. Starting bid: 20 million Immortal Stones, minimum increment: 500,000 Immortal Stones."
The Elder of the Quicksand Sect took out a piece of reddish-brown konjac, which made the eyes of many Xiuzhenzhe practiced fire True Qi light up.
Such treasures greatly enhance their cultivation levels.
"This treasure might help me break through from Great Luo Golden Immortal to Quasi-Immortal Emperor. Unfortunately, it costs 20 million Immortal Stones, which is quite expensive, and this is only the starting bid."
"My bottom line is 40 million Immortal Stones. If anyone bids more than 40 million Immortal Stones, I'll have to give up."
"I am determined to obtain this item."
Many Xiuzhenzhe have already set their sights on the Earthcore Fire Taro, a treasure.
Xiao Fan, however, paid no attention to this treasure.
The medicinal herbs that the Pill Saint Suxin requested were not ordinary; they were at least grade Seventeenth Grade heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
Although the Earthcore Fire Taro is a relatively rare treasure, the Lianshan Holy Land is not lacking in this kind of treasure.
"I'll offer 21 million Immortal Stones."
"Twenty-three million Immortal Stones."
"Forty-five million Immortal Stones, I'm taking them!"
"Hmph, I'll offer forty-eight million Immortal Stones!"
In the end, the Earthcore Fire Taro was sold for 48 million Immortal Stones.
Afterwards, the Elders of the Quicksand Sect took out dozens of treasures, with prices ranging from 30 million to 2 billion.
"The Ten-Million-Year Flame Grass, having absorbed the fiery energy of underground magma over millions of years, is rated as Eighteenth Grade heavenly materials and earthly treasures. Starting bid is 10 billion, with each bid increment being 100 million Immortal Stones!"
The Elder the Quicksand Sect finally took out a treasure that moved Xiao Fan.
The Ten-Million-Year Flame Grass was on the list of medicinal materials compiled by the Pill Saint Suxin.
"Ten billion Immortal Stones?"
"That's way too much."
"After all, this is Eighteenth Grade heavenly materials and earthly treasures; a hundred billion Immortal Stones wouldn't be surprising."
"One hundred billion Immortal Stones is just the starting bid; the final transaction price is estimated to be two to three hundred billion Immortal Stones."
The crowd in the hall was in an uproar. They could not afford treasures that cost hundreds of billions of Immortal Stones, even if they sold their entire fortunes.
Inside the private room, Young Master Wan stared intently at the Ten-Million-Year Flame Grass, his Divine Fire.
"I will give you thirty billion Immortal Stones."
Young Master Wan spoke first, throwing out a hundred million yuan, immediately silencing the entire venue.
Everyone present initially thought the bidding would proceed step by step, but Young Master Wan tripled the starting price.
"Young Master Wan truly lives up to his reputation as a member of the High Antiquity Wan Household; his wealth is inhuman."
"Now, I'm afraid not many people can afford this price."
"Even if one could afford 30 billion, they would probably have to give Young Master Wan face. Who doesn't know that the High Antiquity Wan Household is one of the top Aristocratic Clan families in the Western Region of the Immortal Realm? It's not worth making an enemy of the Wan Household for a treasure. Besides, Young Master Wan has already offered 30 billion Immortal Stones, which isn't unfair to the person who put up the Ten-Million-Year Flame Grass for auction."
"Our Buzhou Holy Land originally wanted to bid for this treasure, but since Young Master Wan is so determined to have it, we will let Young Master Wan."
All the Sects and Holy Lands, to varying degrees, gave Young Master Wan face and did not want to offend him by vying for a treasure.
If the Saint and Saintess of the Buzhou Holy Land Auction, they might be able to stand on equal footing with Young Master Wan.
"I'll offer 30.1 billion."
To everyone's surprise, despite Young Master Wan's determination to win, there were still bidders.
Everyone turned to look at a man shrouded in black robes, wondering who he was and why he dared to compete with Young Master Wan for the treasure.
Young Master Wan also cast a disapproving glance his way.
In the Western Region of the Immortal Realm, especially in the area of Divine Flame Mountain, who doesn't know the High Antiquity Wan Household and their Young Master Wan?
Does this person even want to stay in this area?
Despite Young Master Wan's frown, in front of everyone, especially with disciples from other Holy Lands, Aristocratic Clan, and Sects present, he had to give them face, so he bid. "I'll bid 35 billion."
"Young Master Wan; he raised the price by fifty billion Immortal Stones with a single move. The mysterious man should be too afraid to follow suit now, right?"
Everyone's attention returned to Xiao Fan.
Ever since Xiao Fan outshone Young Master Wan, he has inevitably become the focus of attention.
Xiao Fan slowly said, "Three hundred and fifty-one billion Immortal Stones."
These words caused an uproar among the crowd.
Someone actually dared to challenge Young Master Wan?
The other party only raises the price by 100 million each time; isn't that aimed at Young Master Wan?
"Young master, this visitor is up to no good."
"This man dares to offend the young master; let's teach him a lesson."
"This is the territory of the Quicksand Sect. Out of consideration for the reputation of the Wan Household, we must not act recklessly."
Young Master Wan held back.
There are other Holy Land and Aristocratic Clan families at the Auction; it would be rather undignified to target others over bidding on a treasure.
Since things have come to this, the only way to save face is to use money.
"Forty billion Immortal Stones!"
Four hundred and one billion.
Five hundred billion!
Five hundred and one billion.
Five hundred and fifty billion!
Five hundred and fifty-one billion.
Just as Young Master Wan was about to bid 60 billion Immortal Stones, a servant of the Wan Household stopped him. "Young Master, the Ten-Million-Year Flame Grass isn't worth that much. Let's save our Immortal Stones for other treasures."
"Is this person deliberately driving up the price? Could he be a shill for the Quicksand Sect?"
The servants and disciples of the Wan Household all looked suspiciously at the Elder of the Quicksand Sect who was presiding over the Auction.
The Elder of the Quicksand Sect shook his head with a wry smile.
The Quicksand Sect is Sects second only to the Human Race Holy Land, and it wouldn't risk offending Wan Household for a few hundred billion immortal Immortal Stones.
Even an Immortal Emperor could easily afford to spend hundreds of billions or even trillions of Immortal Stones, let alone the Quicksand Sect, which has Great Expert in charge and is not short of Immortal Stones.
"Will Young Master Wan continue the bidding?"
Elder Quicksand Sect nervously wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Raising prices is a good thing, but it will inevitably incur the displeasure of Young Master Wan.
Young Master Wan's face turned ashen, and he remained silent, seemingly no longer willing to bid.
"Five hundred and fifty-one billion at a time!"
"Five hundred and fifty-one billion twice!"
"Make a deal!"
The Elder the Quicksand Sect finally made the decision, and Xiao Fan obtained the Ten-Million-Year Flame Grass.
Xiao Fan competed with Young Master Wan not only because the Ten-Million-Year Flame Grass was one of the medicinal materials needed by the Pill Saint Suxin, but also because he wanted to suppress the arrogance of the Wan Household and vent his anger for his ancestor.
"The next treasure is a Healing Sacred Medicine found by Xiuzhenzhe in Divine Flame Mountain — the Flame Dragon Sacred Fruit. This is a Nineteenth-Grade heavenly materials and earthly treasures, capable of curing the vast majority of cold poisons within the Three Realms."
Elder of the Quicksand Sect took out a jade box. He simply pushed the lid open slightly, and an extremely hot aura wafted out. The heat wave even formed a fiery dragon, which made everyone present stare in astonishment.
"Hiss... A Nineteenth-Grade heavenly materials and earthly treasures..."
"Who on earth found this treasure in Divine Flame Mountain? They're going to be rich now."
"This item is priceless. Even if we don't need it, keeping it might come in handy someday, or we can sell it at double the price to someone who desperately needs it!"
The Xiuzhenzhe at the Auction were in an uproar.
I never expected that this month's Auction would feature a grade Nineteenth-Grade heavenly materials and earthly treasures!
Divine Flame Mountain heavenly materials and earthly treasures, but it is also fraught with danger. It is not possible to collect top-quality treasures every month and bring them here for auction.
In a typical monthly Auction, the heavenly materials and earthly treasures grade Seventeenth Grade or Eighteenth Grade is already quite remarkable.
However, this Auction actually featured heavenly materials and earthly treasures Nineteenth-Grade!
"Starting bid: 300 billion Immortal Stones; minimum increment: 1 billion Immortal Stones."
The words of the Elder of the Quicksand Sect caused the vast majority of people present to give up on the spot.
Three hundred billion Immortal Stones is a sum that even some Immortal Emperor Realm couldn't come up with, even if they sold everything they owned.
Even if they could afford it, few people would be willing to go bankrupt.
"Although it's not on the list of medicinal herbs, it's a rare item, and three hundred billion Immortal Stones isn't too expensive."
After a moment's thought, Xiao Fan decided to bid on the treasure.
Lu Changsheng has been bestowing treasures upon Xiao Fan over the years. Xiao Fan's wealth, in all its forms, is worth tens of trillions of Immortal Stones. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he is richer than a country.
Xiao Fan was willing to spend lavishly to bid on the Flame Dragon Sacred Fruit.
"330 billion."
Young Master Wan immediately raised the price, causing everyone else to hesitate once again.
It seems that Young Master Wan is determined to get revenge after his defeat last time.
"Three hundred and thirty-one billion."
Xiao Fan clashed with Young Master Wan once again.
Wow.
The crowd erupted in uproar.
Unexpectedly, this mysterious person was able to offer three hundred billion Immortal Stones!
All in all, he will have to pay 400 billion Immortal Stones!
The other party's generosity is unmistakable; they must be from some powerful force.
Young Master Wan's face darkened, and he stretched out his hand. "Five hundred billion!"
Five hundred billion?!
Everyone present was deeply shocked.
Young Master Wan raised the price by 170 billion Immortal Stones in one go; that's enough to buy several Eighteenth Grade treasures.
This shows that Young Master Wan was very unhappy that his previous good deed had been ruined, and wanted to offer an exorbitant price to intimidate the mysterious man.
However, Xiao Fan slowly said, "Five hundred and ten billion."
"This is insane!"
The many Xiuzhenzhe present were dumbfounded.
One dared to make the move, and the other dared to follow!
The price of the Flame Dragon Sacred Fire has reached 500 billion!
I'll offer 800 billion!
Young Master Wan's eyes were bloodshot, and his breathing was heavy; he was clearly enraged by Xiao Fan.
This time, he offered 800 billion, determined to win.
"Young Master..."
This left even the servants of the Wan Household dumbfounded.
A whopping eight hundred billion Immortal Stones!
It's not that Wan Household can't afford it, but rather that an 800 billion yuan worth of Flame Dragon Sacred Fruit is not cost-effective.
The Flame Dragon Sacred Fruit is indeed a rare grade Nineteenth-Grade heavenly materials and earthly treasures, but it's not worth the price.
The Elders of the Quicksand Sect were dumbfounded.
He expected it to fetch 400 to 500 billion Immortal Stones, but it turned out to be 800 billion!
"Eight hundred billion is no small sum. The mysterious man probably won't dare to follow suit now, right?"
"The Flame Dragon Sacred Fruit isn't worth 800 billion."
"Young Master Wan is foolish."
The people present were buzzing with discussion.
With the Flame Dragon Sacred Fruit priced at this level, no one was interested in bidding anymore.
The Black-Robed Person sitting next to Xiao Fan hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
Eight hundred billion is really too expensive.
Eight hundred and ten billion.
Xiao Fan bid again.
The Auction in complete uproar.
The bidding price has already risen to 800 billion, and the mysterious person still dares to follow suit.
Young Master Wan's forehead veins bulged. "One trillion!"
"Young Master Wan has gone mad!"
The Auction completely blown away.
The two have lost their minds in their competition for the Flame Dragon Sacred Fruit; they seem more interested in suppressing each other!
That's a trillion Immortal Stones!
"I'll offer one trillion, plus another billion."
Xiao Fan remained calm and unhurried.
His fortune is worth tens of trillions of Immortal Stones. So what if he takes out one trillion Immortal Stones?
Xiao Fan remained completely at ease.
"Damn, just who is this mysterious person?!"
"The mysterious man has gone head-to-head with Young Master Wan, and he's even willing to spend a trillion."
Will Young Master Wan make another bid?
"Young Master Wan comes from the High Antiquity Wan Household, and is very wealthy. He should be able to offer an even higher price, right?"
The onlookers were already dumbfounded. As the saying goes, the more excitement there is, the more trouble there is. Some even encouraged Young Master Wan to continue bidding.
Anyway, it's not like they're the ones paying for it.
It would be best if blood flowed like a river.
"Young Master, you absolutely mustn't! We've only brought less than a trillion Immortal Stones. If we can't pay later, it will be even more embarrassing!"
The servants of the Wan Household all kowtowed before Young Master Wan, begging him not to continue bidding against the price.
This is no way to squander money!
If the Wan Household's patriarchs found out that Young Master Wan, this sucker, spent a trillion Immortal Stones to buy a Flame Dragon Sacred Fruit, they might lock him up in a dark room.
