Today's third update: Chapter 2153! 3/4!
A hundred SS-tier Spirit Stones—by the exchange rate, that was equivalent to one SSS-Rank Spirit Stone.
It was not that the starting price was absurdly high. Compared to a Jiao claw from a powerful eighth-realm Flood Dragon Race expert of a distant era, one engraved with inscriptions, this starting price was practically rock bottom!
What followed was bound to be a fierce contest.
The key issue was not the starting price itself, but the method of payment!
With SS-tier Spirit Stones as the settlement unit, some people who had originally wanted to compete immediately found themselves helpless.
Quite a few attendees of the Supreme Auction had prepared enough Spirit Stones.
But by "enough," they generally meant S-Tier Spirit Stones!
Some ancestral figures from various races, whose lifespans had reached their limits, had come to the Supreme Auction carrying vast fortunes in search of an opportunity.
There were plenty carrying hundreds of thousands of S-Tier Spirit Stones!
But not many had enough SS-tier Spirit Stones in their pockets!
One ancestral figure from a race sighed helplessly. "Forget it. This price is beyond our reach."
Many others felt the same. Even if they had brought hundreds of SS-tier Spirit Stones, they knew they could not afford the final price. Why become cannon fodder?
The guests present were all prominent figures in the outside world, yet nearly eighty percent of them chose to give up outright.
Of the remaining twenty percent, some were not interested in this Jiao claw at all. That left very few who would actually participate in the bidding.
The first to speak was a sixth-realm giant dragon from Dragon Race Island.
"Three hundred SS-tier Spirit Stones."
Damn it!
Some bidders who had just been about to raise their paddles nearly started cursing.
