Chapter 1037 - 1060: Damn It! Will This Ever End?
"It seems that the Xuanyuan Emperor Palace also wants to recruit this guy. They are willing to spend one billion Immortal Stones to purchase it. How could my Emperor Wu Spirit Realm just give it away? Grand Elder, play along with them. We’ll pass on the final item for now. I want to get this Glzewater Crystal as a welcoming gift for that guy," said the Domain Lord of the Emperor Wu Spirit Realm.
The old man in black directly instructed the young maiden to increase the bid by ten million, bringing the number to one billion one hundred fifty million Immortal Stones. This was indeed an astonishing figure.
In VIP Room No. 3, Fairy Lingxiao slightly furrowed her brows and said, "I didn’t expect the Emperor Wu Spirit Realm to get involved in this. It seems he wants to curry favor with Lin Feng. How should we handle this? Mishandling could offend the Emperor Wu Spirit Realm, and the consequences would be unimaginable."
"Domain Lord, we should watch and wait. It’s foolish to establish a powerful enemy for the Dream-Spirit Sacred Domain over a peerless genius," said the maiden beside Fairy Lingxiao.
In VIP Room No. 2, the Palace Master of the Cold Sha Emperor Palace laughed and said, "Does the Domain Lord of the Emperor Wu Spirit Realm really think others are afraid of him? I’m not. Let’s increase the bid beyond his. It’s just over a billion Immortal Stones; my Cold Sha Emperor Palace doesn’t care about this amount. I just want to suppress the arrogance of the Emperor Wu Spirit Realm."
Subsequently, the numbers on the screen changed again. No one could have anticipated such a situation at this auction. Seeing the screen showing one billion two hundred fifty million, Chu Linfeng said, "Later, just raise it to two billion. I’m done with this; I still want to bid on other items. I can’t keep dealing with these two Emperor Palaces."
"Domain Lord, it seems like the Cold Sha Emperor Palace is deliberately opposing you. How should we handle it? Their power is nearly on par with our Emperor Wu Spirit Realm. This move is undoubtedly a provocation," said the old man in black.
"Do you think this Domain Lord is afraid of him? Increase the bid by ten million and see who holds out," replied the Domain Lord of the Emperor Wu Spirit Realm.
Thus, the numbers on the screen changed again, and the auction house was numb to it. At this moment, everyone seemed to have forgotten the owner of Room No. 16, focusing all their attention on Rooms No. 1 and No. 2. This was a competition between two major Immortal Realm forces.
Seeing the bid from the Emperor Wu Spirit Realm, the Cold Sha Emperor Palace added another ten million, leaving Chu Linfeng somewhat speechless, "Are you kidding?! Is this ever going to end? Lian’er, just raise it to two billion Immortal Stones. If they raise it again, jump to three billion. Let’s see who dares to compete with me."
Lian’er looked at Chu Linfeng in terror, not daring to speak, and directly raised the bid to two billion. Suddenly, the auction house was in an uproar again. The usually silent Room No. 16 raised the bid to an astronomical figure, rekindling curiosity about the room owner’s identity.
"What is Lin Feng up to? Two billion for a single Glzewater Crystal? Perhaps only he would have the guts to do this. I really don’t know how he obtained his Immortal Stones," said the Flame Immortal Monarch in a regular room.
"Why would Lin Feng spend so many Immortal Stones on the Glzewater Crystal? Does he have too many Immortal Stones that he’s running out of ways to spend them?" Lin Ruoxi, also confused, asked the Ice and Snow Fairy and Mei Xiaoxiao beside her.
"He must have his reasons. Don’t use common logic to judge him. Lin Feng is a monster, a heaven-defying monster. Let’s wait and see. Anyway, his Immortal Stones are unimaginably plentiful," said the Ice and Snow Fairy.
The Ice and Snow Fairy originally had a spot in the regular section. It was only with Lin Ruoxi spending three hundred Top-Grade Immortal Stones that she secured a common room, making bidding more convenient.
Seeing Room No. 16 suddenly raise the price so high left the Palace Master Zuo Gufei of Cold Sha Emperor Palace frustrated. The Glzewater Crystal wasn’t particularly useful to him, and seeing the bid reach such an astounding number, he chose to give up, though he blamed the owner of Room No. 16 for any loss of face.
No one else raised the bid afterward. Chu Linfeng won the Glzewater Crystal at two billion Immortal Stones, "Only two billion made you give up? How disappointing. When the good stuff emerges later, I’ll throw two billion at a time. Let’s see who dares to rival me."
"Young Master, aren’t you afraid all the forces will oppose you? You are quite alone; how could you do this?" Lian’er asked in confusion.
"It’s fine. Someone will protect me. Don’t worry. Just wait for the Platinum Crystal. Feel free to bid on anything you like; I’m not interested in these things," Chu Linfeng replied.
When it comes to Chu Linfeng’s Immortal Stones, these two billion Low Grade Star Stones are merely a drop in the bucket, just about two hundred Top-Grade Immortal Stones. However, Lian’er didn’t want Room No. 16 to remain the center of attention any longer.
In the next two days, Chu Linfeng did not bid on anything, which puzzled many who speculated he exhausted his Immortal Stones on the Glzewater Crystal and was waiting for the auction to end.
Chu Linfeng enjoyed a few drinks leisurely, due to the time spent bidding on the Glzewater Crystal. This auction needed time extension, which was advantageous for Chu Linfeng, allowing his Chaotic Immortal Power to soon be lifted.
"Young Master, the next item is the Platinum Crystal. It’s much more precious than the Glzewater Crystal, with Gold Elements that anyone can absorb to enhance strength.
Most importantly, the Platinum Crystal is needed by the Duobao Sect, who once said if anyone could present a Platinum Crystal, they’d gift a Top-Grade Magical Treasure.
The Platinum Crystal is just as valuable as the final item. It’s the last of the ordinary items, so there will be many bidders and fierce competition," Lian’er explained.
After hearing this, Chu Linfeng smiled, "How many Immortal Stones have we spent this time?"
"Less than two hundred thirty Top-Grade Immortal Stones," Lian’er replied, blushing, as she had spent quite a lot.
"That’s all? Looks like it’s time for a spree. How about preparing to splash twenty billion and seeing if anyone competes?" Chu Linfeng laughed.
Lian’er’s mind suddenly thought of two words, madman! She had never seen anyone treat Immortal Stones so nonchalantly, and the auction of the Platinum Crystal had already begun. Its starting price was five million Immortal Stones, with a minimum increment of one million.
Chu Linfeng looked at Lian’er and then said, "Do we settle this in one go, or do we spar with these people a bit?"
Lian’er looked at Chu Linfeng in confusion and asked, "What do you mean, Young Master?"
"Just throw two billion in right away and see if anyone ups the bid. If not, we win directly; otherwise, we take it slow and bid incrementally against the others," Chu Linfeng laughed.
Lian’er was momentarily speechless, watching Chu Linfeng, unsure what to do...
