What a load of rubbish!
Can't the Devil Race have a purer mind?!
Xie Feng took a deep breath.
After a while, Gu Yuan leaned closer again, his right hand secretly pointing to the side:
"Brother Xie, can you also see that beautiful woman next to me? Even that huge cloak can't hide her great figure!"
Hehehe!
That last laugh was truly lewd.
In the direction he pointed, sat a woman in a black cloak. She was tall and straight, with silver-white hair hanging down from her hood, the ends of which curled like waves. Her whole demeanor was serene and awe-inspiring.
Xie Feng asked, "Are you a lecherous demon?"
Gu Yuan feigned seriousness. "Well, even demons have a love of beauty! Brother Xie, what do you think of her figure?"
Xie Feng clenched his fist, shaking it as he suppressed the urge to beat him flat.
Gu Yuan immediately and tactfully retreated to his seat.
Time passed quickly, and before we knew it, the auction was coming to an end.
"The tenth item is the highlight of our entire auction!" Mu Ting raised her voice as she stood in front of the final treasure chest and opened it.
Swoosh--
Golden light burst forth.
It illuminated the entire third floor, making it shine brightly.
Inside the treasure chest, a strange fruit came into view. It was entirely blue-green, with an uneven surface, as if it were covered with scales.
On the fruit, a spiritual energy bursts forth, with boundless vitality and a chilling aura intertwining.
A power of life and a power of death have achieved the most exquisite balance in this treasure!
"This treasure has always been one of the highlights of the auction. Due to some unforeseen circumstances, the auction house needs cash flow, so it is being auctioned off."
"This thing is a creation of nature, the essence of heaven and earth, and is extremely rare in the world. In the history of the Origin Realm, it has only appeared less than a hundred times in total!"
"This treasure may seem ordinary, but it can activate the properties of other things. It has no grade; if you fuse it with an Emperor Grade item, it will be upgraded to Dao Grade; and if you fuse it with Dao Grade item, it will become the Extreme Dao!"
"It is: the Dark Spirit Fruit!"
Mu Ting was very good at stirring people's emotions. With her long speech and sufficient emotional appeal, she successfully aroused the guests on the third floor!
"Fusing with Dao Grade cultivator allows one to ascend to the Extreme Dao?!"
"This thing is awesome!"
"This item is something our Blazing Devil Dragon Clan must obtain!"
"Tsk tsk, so they're already introducing themselves? That's really lacking in martial ethics!"
"Everyone here has power and influence. Just wait and see, a fierce war has begun!"
"Here, money is king!"
The guests started discussing it, and the single Dark Spirit Fruit successfully ignited everyone's emotions!
Xie Feng leaned forward slightly, a smile appearing on his face, " Dark Spirit Fruit? Exactly what I need! It seems this trip was worthwhile!"
Gu Yuan nodded. "You even managed to encounter something as obscure Dark Spirit Fruit... I must say, Brother Xie, you have incredible luck! It's like a pillow being delivered to your sleepy head. I've never seen anything so outrageous!"
Xie Feng said with a faint smile, "You'll have to learn to get used to it."
Gu Yuan took a light breath, "I originally thought the Devil Emperor's luck was invincible, but now it seems you have an edge. How about... I follow you?!"
Xie Feng's lips twitched. "There's absolutely no need for that!"
Gu Yuan chuckled sheepishly, "Hehe, I was just saying it casually. If I really betrayed the Devil Emperor, he'd skin me alive and tear my tendons out! Besides, I've had a friendship with the Devil Emperor for over a hundred years!"
Auction stage.
Mu Ting said, "I believe everyone has a fairly good understanding of the Dark Spirit Fruit. Without further ado, let's begin the bidding! Starting price: 100,000!"
The starting bids for the previous ones were only a few thousand, with the highest being no more than fifty thousand, but the starting bid for this Dark Spirit Fruit has doubled!
Two hundred thousand!
"Five hundred thousand!"
One million!
"One million five hundred thousand!"
Everyone competed fiercely, raising their placards in eager bidding.
The most intense fighting was between the Blazing Devil Dragon Clan and the group sitting inconspicuously in the back row, especially the three in the center, who clearly exuded the aura of leaders.
The two sides were at loggerheads, neither willing to back down.
The price of the Dark Spirit Fruit was quickly driven up to three million!
Gu Yuan glanced at the back row, sniffed the air, and frowned, saying, "This smell... it's nauseating, and it seems familiar. Didn't I smell it not long ago?"
Xie Feng replied calmly, " The Heavenly Gu Emperor Python Race."
Yes, yes, yes!
Gu Yuan also remembered, "They're here too, huh, it seems like enemies always meet!"
Xie Feng said, "Now, we must control our tempers and let the Blazing Devil Dragon Clan and the Heavenly Gu Emperor Python Race fight each other. Then, we can let them fight it out and the third party reap the benefits."
Gu Yuan said, "Although the Blazing Devil Dragon Clan is very strong, to be honest, compared to the Heavenly Gu Emperor Python Race, the Blazing Devil Dragon might not be able to defeat them!"
Xie Feng smiled, "And we're here too!"
They quieted down, and the bidding intensified. Other forces had initially followed suit, but when the price soared to thirty million, many gave up.
"Those who gave up bidding were actually wise. Those sitting on the third floor are all powerful and influential people. They may not necessarily be short of tens of millions, but they have to assess the risks involved."
" Dark Spirit Fruit a good thing, but what Mu Ting didn't say is that it is also very fragile. If you want to fuse it with something else, you need extremely high skills and abilities. If you are not careful, you will fail at the last minute."
"They chose to give up because they didn't want to lose both the treasure and the money. Sigh, if they had your strength, Brother Xie, they certainly wouldn't have anything to fear! Someone who can incinerate millions of planets Transcendence Tribulation Crossing, with super-strong luck protecting them, would be absolutely certain of success in everything they do!"
Gu Yuan explained in a low voice, then smacked his lips in admiration.
Xie Feng said, "Don't do that, I'm afraid you'll idolize me!"
Gu Yuan laughed and said, "If I have any admirers, it's His Majesty the Devil Emperor! Or, to put it another way, you!"
Xie Feng stroked his chin, a smug look spreading across his face. "They say gaining the approval of the same sex is true strength, it seems... I really am too charming!"
Gu Yuan said quietly, "If you were a little more humble, you would be even more charming!"
Xie Feng turned his head. "Do demons also observe human humility and etiquette?"
Gu Yuan said, "Being civilized and polite is the standard His Majesty the Devil Emperor requires of us! We are demons with gentlemanly conduct!"
Xie Feng grinned. "I've never seen you act like a gentleman before?"
Gu Yuan said guiltily, "Well, cough cough, you'll see him when the Devil Emperor arrives!"
Xie Feng: "..."
At this moment, on the auction stage, Mu Ting, holding a golden hammer, smiled and said, "The current price is fifty million! Are there any other bidders? If not, Dark Spirit Fruit will be sold to the distinguished guest in the back row!"
Back row.
"Stop arguing, hurry up and take the picture!" a man with a pointed chin whispered.
" Ni Hao, mind your manners," the burly man beside him reminded him, then turned to ask, "Your Highness, what do you think?"
