Chapter 2267: Continue the Auction!

Chapter 2267: Chapter 2267: Continue the Auction!

At this moment, Xiao Longhe took a deep breath and looked at Elder Lu.

"Brother Lu, I’m sorry for what happened."

"Since the auction item is no longer here, Brother Lu, please take back your spirit stones."

Xiao Longhe returned all of Elder Lu’s spirit stones.

And Elder Lu also sighed.

Encountering such a situation, he could only consider himself unlucky.

He didn’t say anything, but put away the spirit stones and returned to the first floor.

Afterward, Xiao Longhe spoke to the crowd:

"In light of the recent incident, the auction will be paused for an hour."

"Please take a moment to rest, fellow Daoists."

After saying this, Xiao Longhe turned and left the podium.

Soon, experts from the Eight Clans began to restore the array barrier around the auction hall.

After about an hour or so.

A considerable portion of the array barrier was restored.

However, fully restoring it would still require a lot of effort.

Now, with the auction unfinished, it wasn’t possible to make everyone wait.

The hour quickly passed.

Xiao Longhe reappeared on the podium.

At this moment, he had fully regained his previous demeanor; neither his appearance nor his expression showed any abnormalities.

"The auction continues."

"Next, we will auction off this treasure."

As he spoke, Xiao Longhe took out a specially made ring and waved his hand.

In the next moment, a huge spirit boat appeared on the podium.

This spirit boat was nearly a hundred feet long and several dozen feet high.

It was covered with countless rune spells, looking exceptionally extraordinary.

The moment this spirit boat appeared, many people showed expressions of shock.

"Isn’t this the Giant Battle Spirit Boat of the Divine Horn Clan?"

"There’s such a treasure in the auction?"

For a time, many people couldn’t believe their eyes.

After all, the reputation of the Giant Battle Spirit Boat was indeed tremendous.

Especially given the Divine Horn Clan’s recent massive conquest of the Black Cloud Twenty-eight Clans.

The Giant Battle Spirit Boat was basically a nightmare for the entire Black Cloud Twenty-eight Clans.

At this time, Xiao Longhe spoke:

"Indeed."

"I believe you all have already recognized it."

"This item is indeed the Giant Battle Spirit Boat of the Divine Horn Clan."

"But now, its appearance is not its final form."

"If activated to its final form, its scale would be expanded tenfold at least."

Hearing this, the auction hall erupted into chaos.

Ten times larger?

Doesn’t that mean that this Giant Battle Spirit Boat is perhaps the most powerful of its kind, even within the Divine Horn Clan?

At this moment, Xiao Longhe continued:

"Alright, that’s the general situation."

"Now, let the official auction begin."

"Giant Battle Spirit Boat, starting bid: two billion!"

With Xiao Longhe’s words concluded.

Immediately, bids rang out from the first and second floors.

"Two billion five hundred million."

"Three billion!"

"Three billion seven hundred million!"

"..."

Under the stunned gazes of the crowd, the price of the Giant Battle Spirit Boat rapidly climbed.

At this time, people from the lower three floors were dumbfounded.

Of course, faced with this treasure, they could only watch the spectacle.

Not only them, but also some from the second floor.

It should be noted, the power of the Giant Battle Spirit Boat, though terrifying.

Its most terrifying aspect is not just this.

But rather, the cost of using it.

To activate the Giant Battle Spirit Boat relies on top-grade Spirit Stones.

And to fully activate the Giant Battle Spirit Boat, unleashing its maximum power.

The required number of top-grade Spirit Stones is at least ten thousand.

How could ordinary cultivators or ordinary forces support such a terrifying consumption?

Therefore, anyone who could bid is certainly one of the top forces in Black Cloud City.

In the crowd, Zhou Yu looked at the Giant Battle Spirit Boat floating on the podium.

He had no interest at all.

And was simply watching for entertainment.

This Giant Battle Spirit Boat, in the eyes of others, might be some extraordinary treasure.

But in Zhou Yu’s eyes, it was nothing at all.

After all, not long ago, he personally destroyed two Giant Battle Spirit Boats.

In his view, a Giant Battle Spirit Boat encountering the Titan Black Mountain is merely fodder, incapable of stirring any waves.

Soon, amid fierce competition among the big figures.

Finally, the Giant Battle Spirit Boat was sold for a price of six billion.

Immediately afterward, Xiao Longhe didn’t waste words, promptly inviting the next treasure.

This treasure was precisely the Heavenly Thunder Wood that Zhou Yu had brought forth.

At this time, Xiao Longhe took out the Heavenly Thunder Wood from a specially made wooden box, and then displayed it to the crowd.

Just with a slight use of primordial power from Xiao Longhe.

In the next moment, the withered wood branch in his hand instantly burst forth with a deafening sound of heavenly thunder.

Furthermore, it emitted an aura of destruction.

Feeling this aura, some people on the first and second floors suddenly shrank their pupils, and then they all simultaneously stood up, fixating tightly on the piece of Heavenly Thunder Wood.

"Heavenly Thunder!"

"Power of Destruction!"

"Wood Attribute Supreme Treasure!"

"..."

For a time, exclamations rose one after another.

Soon after, many high-level cultivators showed intense excitement in their eyes.

It is known that the power of Heavenly Thunder is always regarded as the strongest among all powers.

Because it represents the will of the Heavenly Dao.

However, very few things can preserve this force belonging to the Heavenly Dao.

And Heavenly Thunder Wood is one of them.

The Heavenly Thunder Wood is almost useless to low-rank cultivators.

But to high-rank cultivators, especially those above the Void Refinement Realm, it holds immense value.

One of its most important functions is during Tribulation Crossing; borrowing the power of Heavenly Thunder Wood can reduce the power of the Heavenly Tribulation to some extent.

Just this alone is enough to drive all high-rank cultivators crazy.

Not to mention the Heavenly Thunder Wood has many other wonderful uses.

Xiao Longhe glanced at the crowd and then smiled:

"Heavenly Thunder Wood, starting bid: five billion!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a succession of bids came forth.

"Six billion!"

"Seven billion!"

"Seven billion five hundred million!"

"Eight billion"

"Eight billion three hundred million..."

At this moment, Zhou Yu in the crowd listened to the rapidly rising bid prices.

Even he showed a surprised expression.

He hadn’t expected that the price of Heavenly Thunder Wood could soar to such heights.

Earlier, he thought getting five billion would be quite good.

Now it seems, he underestimated the high-rank cultivators’ longing for Heavenly Thunder Wood.

When the bid reached nine billion, suddenly a woman’s voice rang out from the first floor.

"Nine billion two hundred million."

Hearing this voice, everyone showed expressions of surprise.

Because this woman was the one who had just bought the Giant Battle Spirit Boat.

This person had just spent six billion, and now she was offering nine billion to bid for the Heavenly Thunder Wood.

What is her background, for her wealth to be so substantial?

Just then, a man directly spoke up:

"Ten billion."

"As for this Heavenly Thunder, Jing is determined to get it!"
