Overwhelming Dominance
Everyone present was stunned by Xue Tianfei's words, including the Chaos Sage and the Pavilion Master of the Nine Directions Pavilion. They blinked before they came to their senses.
"Listen to this! Is this human language?! How can this be human language?!"
"Raising the price to 50 Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone is one thing, but now they're asking for an additional 5 mid-grade Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone veins?! Are they crazy?! Are they out of their mind?!"
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!!!"
"..."
After a brief silence, the auction hall was suddenly filled with a cacophony of noise, turning the surrounding area into a chaotic marketplace.
As everyone knows, a mid-level Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone vein is worth at least 10 low-level Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone veins, and it is almost impossible for someone who owns a mid-level Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone vein to exchange it for 10 low-level Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone veins!
Now things are really different. Just as they suspected, the Eternal Night Sect seemed to have no low-grade Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone veins left. But damn it, they actually have mid-grade Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone veins, and they've even produced five of them!!!
Are you out of your mind?!
This means that in order to obtain this treasure, the Eternal Night Sect has directly raised the price to 100 low-grade Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone veins!!!
Who would raise prices like this?!
"I thought they had used a mid-level Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone mine to offset their previous offer, but I didn't expect they originally possessed so many low-level Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone mines!" The Chaos Sage's expression turned somewhat ugly. At this moment, recalling Xue Tianfei's domineering bidding method, he felt a slight headache.
The Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone mine he brought this time was worth the equivalent of hundreds of low-level Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone mines, but in total, it was only roughly equivalent to 150 low-level Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone mines!
Xue Tianfei's bid has already reached this level, and the words she spoke when making the Xue Tianfei, as well as her exceptionally confident tone, all give the impression that they still have a lot of confidence!
Could it be that all the Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone mines he brought this time are still inferior to the Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone mines left after the Eternal Night Sect's massive auction?
How terrifying must the total assets of the Eternal Night Sect be?!
Wasn't it said that the Eternal Night Sect was only established recently? Even if Li Muchen and Zhang Shundao invested all their family fortunes into the Eternal Night Sect, it couldn't possibly be stronger than the foundation of their Chaos Saint Sect!
Thinking of this, the Chaos Sage felt a chill run down his spine.
This Eternal Night Sect seems to be more complex than he thought!!!
Zhang Tianshi's thoughts at this moment were not much different from those of the Chaos Sage; the corners of his mouth began to twitch wildly.
The performance of the Eternal Night Sect really strained his back!
How could a newly established sect possess such terrifying resources!
With this foundation, coupled with the current momentum of the Eternal Night Sect, it seems that it won't be long before it can become one of the top ten forces in the Nine Directions and Ten Domains!
"No, absolutely not!" Zhang Tianshi shook his head, his eyes turning sharp.
If the Eternal Night Sect were to acquire this treasure, the Eternal Night Sect Eternal Night Chamber of Commerce under its umbrella would likely experience a significant boost in its growth. He knew he would lose the bet with his junior brother then, so he absolutely couldn't let the Eternal Night Sect obtain it!!!
However, he only brought 80 Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone veins with him on this trip!
They have now lost the ability to compete!
"It seems this is the only way!" Zhang Tianshi suddenly shifted his gaze to the private room where the Chaos Saint Sect was located, his eyes becoming even sharper, with a hint of determination in them.
Since they can't obtain the treasure anyway, they can simply find an ally to take it, and consider the Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone mine they used as an investment!
"Fellow Daoist, there's something I'd like to discuss with you!"
Zhang Tianshi directly transmitted his voice to the Chaos Sage inside the private room.
While the Chaos Sage was still feeling uneasy, not quite satisfied with the Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone mine he had brought, Zhang Tianshi's voice transmission reached his ears. After hearing Zhang Tianshi's suggestion, his eyes lit up and the corners of his mouth curved slightly.
That's a great suggestion!
Why would this old bastard help me?!
Without wasting words, the Chaos Sage directly used telepathy to inquire why Zhang Tianshi had acted in this way.
After a brief conversation, the Chaos Sage smiled.
It's like heaven is helping him!
Then this old guy's actions are perfectly normal!
"Alright, I agree to your proposal. After we acquire this treasure, we can share some of the resources we earn with you. Once we break even on the Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone mine, we'll repay you for the entire Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone mine you borrowed from me!"
"Alright, then it's a deal!"
"Okay, then I'll start competing with him properly!"
The Chaos Sage's eyes were filled with confidence as he looked towards the private room where the Eternal Night Sect was located.
He brought with him assets of nearly 150 Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone veins, plus the 80 Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone veins that Zhang Tianshi lent him, making a total of 230 Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone veins!
The Eternal Night Sect had already spent a large amount of Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone veins to acquire other treasures. He didn't believe the Eternal Night Sect could come up with another 130 Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone veins!!!
In this auction, the Chaos Saint Sect is destined to win!!!
"Fellow Daoists, this fellow Daoist has bid for 5 mid-grade Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone veins and 50 low-grade Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone veins. Does anyone here have the courage to raise the price further?" The Pavilion Master of the Nine Directions Pavilion was now beaming with joy, his undisguised smile perfectly embodying happiness. His voice was strong and resonant, carrying throughout the entire auction hall.
"I'll add a mid-level Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone vein!"
The sound emanating from the Chaos Saint Sect Sect's private room instantly echoed throughout the entire auction hall, causing the previously quiet crowd to erupt into a frenzy.
"Good heavens, as expected of the Chaos Saint Sect! They actually managed to add another mid-grade Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone vein to the original price!"
"What an epic battle today!"
"Good heavens! Both sides are practically using their entire sect's resources to compete! However, the Eternal Night Sect has already spent a considerable amount of Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone mines, so it seems the competition for this treasure has already decided a winner!"
"No need to look anymore, this treasure is firmly in the hands of the Chaos Saint Sect!"
"..."
Hearing the whispers of the people, Xue Tianfei gave a cold laugh.
"Add another mid-grade Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone vein? It seems our offer is still too low. In that case, I'll raise the price a bit more."
As soon as Xue Tianfei spoke, the entire room fell silent again, and everyone stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief.
No? You're serious?!
Can you raise the price even further?!
"It's fake, it's definitely fake, she's bluffing!"
"There's no way anyone in the entire Nine Directions and Ten Domains could possess so many Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone veins!"
"He's just being sarcastic; he definitely won't dare to bid again!"
"..."
Regardless of what these people were saying, Xue Tianfei decisively called out a terrifying price.
"I'll add five more mid-grade Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone veins. The total value is 250 low-grade Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone veins! If anyone else bids, I'll add one more mid-grade Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone vein to the original price! In short, no matter who comes today, this treasure belongs solely to our Eternal Night Sect!"
