Then he had to secure this Immortal Herb.
The auction for the Dragon Blood Jade Ganoderma began just then, with an opening bid of 800 million and minimum increments of 50 million Federation coins.
The auctioneer's voice rang throughout the venue.
900 million. A sect with Dragon Clan Martial Souls was the first to raise its paddle.
One billion. The Star Luo Empire joined the bidding.
1.2 billion. The Heaven Dou Empire refused to be outdone.
1.5 billion. The Spirit Pagoda raised the bid by a full 300 million, sending the price soaring past 1.5 billion in the blink of an eye.
At this price, most factions had already withdrawn from the bidding. Only the Spirit Pagoda and the Star Luo Empire were still raising their bids.
En Ci, the Demigod-level headmaster of the Star Luo Empire's Monster Academy, was determined to secure this Immortal Herb.
His Martial Soul was the Radiant Sacred Dragon. He had remained stuck at the Demigod level, unable to advance an inch, and he needed this Immortal Herb to improve his strength.
1.6 billion.
He bid again on behalf of the Star Luo Empire.
1.8 billion. The Spirit Pagoda followed.
1.9 billion. En Ci added another 100 million.
With such fierce bidding, the price soon reached 3.9 billion. This was already an outrageous price for what was merely a ten-thousand-year Immortal Herb.
Inside the Spirit Pagoda's private room, the Qiangu Clan representative frowned.
This Immortal Herb was actually of little use to their Coiling Dragon Staff Martial Soul. After all, they did not possess Dragon Clan Martial Souls themselves.
It was not that he could not afford the price, but that he could guess who the other bidder was.
The headmaster of Monster Academy was determined to secure this Immortal Herb. What harm was there
