An ancient golden token lay quietly on the silver plate. The mottled traces on it revealed the taste of time. This token did not seem to have any special fluctuations, but it gave off a mysterious feeling. Faintly, it seemed to have an extraordinary luster.
Countless gazes were directed at the golden token in the massive pavilion. Most of the experts here belonged to the various forces and the objective of their trip was clearly this mysterious golden token.
Mandala wasn't the only one that knew about the matter of the Second Hall Master. The other peak forces of the Greatlaw Continent had also investigated the Ancient Haven Palace, so they knew about the position of the Second Hall Master. Now that the token of the Second Hall Master was spread out, it would definitely attract many people's attention.
The resources and opportunities in the Ancient Haven Palace were too massive, and any top-tiered force that managed to obtain it would be able to soar and inherit the orthodoxy, becoming the new Overlord of the Greatlaw Continent. At the same time, they would also become a genuine supreme force in the Great Thousand World!
Therefore, anything that could allow them to obtain an advantage in the Ancient Haven Palace was extremely precious and they had to obtain it!
Not only did the Fourth Prince, Xia Hong's gaze turn sharp, even Qin Ya of the Horizon Pavilion, Mu Shan of the Hidden Dragon Pavilion and Jiang Ling of the Sword Saint Sect had their expressions turn grave.
Evidently, the item that they had been waiting for had appeared.
Han Fei looked at everyone's drooling gazes and chuckled as he raised the silver plate in his hand. "The auction of this item will now begin. The starting price is 1,000,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid, and every increment must be no less than 1,000,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid."
The starting price of the token was extremely low, far inferior to the previous three items. However, no one felt relaxed because of it, since they knew the price of this item.
It would definitely reach the peak in a short period of time.
"2,000,000!"
Just as everyone had expected, when Han Fei's voice resounded, an anxious voice resounded.
"Three million!" But the previous bid had not yet been heard.
Another voice resounded.
"4,000,000!"
“”
Voices rose and fell in succession, continuously reverberating within the enormous building. The atmosphere had clearly been pushed to the peak because of the appearance of the token. All the factions had red eyes, appearing as though they would not give up until they obtained it.
And it was also under this fiery competition.
In just a few minutes, the price of the token had soared by 10,000,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid.
When the price rose to 10,000,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid, the frequency of the bidding decreased. However, there were still quite a few voices chasing the price. The owners of those voices all had the backing of a first-rate force.
A few minutes later, the price had risen to 16,000,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid.
"Sixteen million!"
In the attic, Mu Chen looked at the formation.
They couldn't help inwardly smacking their lips. The genuine peak forces had yet to make a move, but the price was already rather frightening.
"18 million!"
Just as Mu Chen was sighing, a laughter suddenly rang out from within the building, instantly suppressing the fiery atmosphere. Countless gazes shot over, only to see the junior pavilion master of the Hidden Dragon Pavilion, Mu Shan, smiling as he looked at the crowd. Clearly.
After observing for a while, the Young Pavilion Master, who had the support of a top force behind him, was finally going to make a move.
The moment he made a move, he had raised the price from 16,000,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid to 18,000,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid.
An increase of 2,000,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid had caused the faces of many first-rate forces to turn unsightly. In the end, after a brief hesitation, they unwillingly sat back down and chose to give up.
"Haha, Young Pavilion Master Mu is so generous.
My Xia Empire can't be weak, either. 20,000,000. "
But after Mu Shan made his bid, a lazy voice resounded. It was Xia Hong who had also made his bid.
Seeing this scene, the other forces that still had some wishful thinking could only shake their heads in regret. It looked like they could only rely on the wealthy peak forces to compete for the token.
"21,000,000."
A gentle laughter resounded. Qin Ya of the Horizon Pavilion covered her rosy lips with her hand and chuckled, "Since the two of you are so interested, then I will join in as well."
"22,000,000." Jiang Ling of the Celestial Sword Sect made his bid without any expression on his face.
The four peak forces had made their bids at the same time, instantly pushing the price to a terrifying height. At this moment, the other forces had completely given up on their thoughts.
Xia Hong's gaze flickered as he glanced at the other three and his voice turned a little cold, "25,000,000."
He was determined to obtain the token, but the three forces would probably be a considerable obstruction to him today. Who knows, they might even make him bleed. However, he wasn't worried that he wouldn't be able to obtain it today. That's because in terms of foundation, the Hidden Dragon Pavilion, Horizon Pavilion and Celestial Sword Sect couldn't be compared to his Xia Empire.
Mu Shan, Qin Ya and Jiang Ling had also slightly knitted their brows. They had clearly sensed Xia Hong's determination. 25,000,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid wasn't a small amount, even for forces like them.
Thus, they had briefly pondered and started to consider their gains and losses.
When Xia Hong saw this scene, he coldly sneered in his heart. A few peak forces with a weak foundation wanted to compete with their Xia Empire?
What a fool's dream!
"28,000,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid."
But just when Xia Hong was feeling complacent in his heart, a calm voice suddenly resounded and broke the silence.
Rustle!
Everyone's gazes shifted with shock before they saw a young man with a smile on his face. That person was Mu Chen, who had previously obtained the incomplete Spiritual Array.
"He actually bid such a high price?!"
Someone exclaimed in disbelief. 28,000,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid wasn't something that any random force could take out.
Qin Ya, Mu Shan and the rest looked at Mu Chen in shock.
Xia Hong was briefly stunned before he recovered from his shock and looked at Mu Chen with a dark expression. His tone was a little cold, "Brat, this isn't a place for you to mess around. If you bid recklessly, you will have to pay the price."
Mu Chen raised his eyelids and faintly said, "There's no need for the Fourth Prince's reminder.
The Great Heaven Domain can still afford it. "
Standing behind him, Tan Qiu and the rest were also a little startled by Mu Chen's sudden high price. Aside from the Sovereign Spiritual Liquid that Mu Chen had previously used, they only had a few.
He was only left with 30,000,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid and Mu Chen had immediately called it out.
Although they were shocked, they did not say anything. Moreover, they understood that their financial resources were limited.
If he wanted to fight for it, he would have to appear heroic to intimidate others and prevent them from interfering.
However, he had no idea if 28,000,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid could intimidate Xia Hong.
In the opposite pavilion, Xia Hong's countenance was grim as he stared at Mu Chen with a cold light in his eyes. Although the foundation of their Grand Xia Empire was deep, the amount of resources he could use was limited.
It wasn't that there was no limit.
Nearly 30,000,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid was sufficient to support the development of a first-rate force and attract countless experts.
Xia Hong's eyes flickered. After a long while, he took a deep breath and said in a sinister tone, "30,000,000!"
Rustle!
The entire pavilion trembled and many experts were dumbfounded as they shook their heads. Those fellows were truly insane.
That's 30,000,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid! That's even enough to buy a few Quasi-Saint Artifacts. It's said that in some assassin organisations in the Great Thousand World,
It was said that even some assassin organisations in the Great Thousand World could invite an Earth Sovereign to make a move.
Not only were the spectators shocked by the price, even Qin Ya and the rest had a grave expression as they inwardly shook their heads.
Countless gazes were directed at Mu Chen, wondering how he would choose.
Under those gazes, Mu Chen did not have the slightest hesitation.
He faintly said, "31,000,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid."
His expression was calm and no one could see through him. Only Jiu You, Tan Qiu and the rest knew that this price was practically their limit. It was so much so that they couldn't even take out another 10,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid.
Rustle!
Xia Hong abruptly stood up with his face distorted at this moment. He gnashed his teeth as he looked at Mu Chen with a venomous gaze. His hand had even left deep fingerprints on the railing before him. He never expected that Mu Chen would dare to play with him in this manner!
"35,000,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid!"
Xia Hong had practically roared out a price that made many people feel their scalps going numb. It had also reached the limit of their Xia Empire.
Mu Chen stared at Xia Hong, whose face was distorted, while his slender hand gently caressed the armrest. Although his expression was calm, he inwardly sighed in his heart. The Xia Empire was truly wealthy. Even he couldn't take it anymore, even with such a level of competition.
Thirty-five million drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid, even with the current status of their Great Havenlaw Domain, it wasn't something that could be obtained in a year.
Thus, he gently shook his head and could only give up.
"Let's think of another way in the future." Jiu You said in a low voice. Even if Xia Hong obtained the token, he might not be able to bring it away.
Mu Chen nodded his head, since that was the only way.
"Why aren't you bidding anymore?"
Seeing that Mu Chen had given up, Xia Hong's distorted face sneered with ridicule, "A puny Great Heaven Domain dares to compete with my Xia Empire? You're simply overestimating your own abilities!"
Jiu You's face was filled with killing intent. Just when she wanted to stand up, she was stopped by Mu Chen, since there wasn't a need to make a move here.
Xia Hong coldly snorted as he looked at Han Fei and coldly said, "Still not going to announce it?"
Who could compete with the price of 35,000,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid?
When Han Fei heard her words, he quickly nodded his head and was about to announce the end of the auction. However, just when he opened his mouth, a delicate voice that sounded like a pearl falling on a silver plate suddenly resounded in the building. Like a bolt of lightning, it struck everyone dumb.
"Hey, wait, I bid 45,000,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid."
Silence.
The entire pavilion was silent and Xia Hong was briefly stunned by the price. It was so much so that even Mu Chen was stunned. Who was it that directly increased the price by 10,000,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid?
What did she think it was?
Peas?
Who added it?
Every gaze in the pavilion frantically searched and a brief moment later, countless gazes were directed at Mu Chen's location.
Sensing those gazes, Mu Chen was startled. Shortly after, he abruptly turned his head around and saw a fairy-like girl standing behind him without him knowing. The girl was donned in black clothes. At this moment, her jade-like hand was holding onto a spiritual fruit as she chewed on it. Her spirited eyes seemed to be filled with celestial aura, possessing an astonishing beauty.
As she chewed on the spiritual fruit, she looked at Mu Chen, who had a shocked expression on his face. She immediately waved her hand and swallowed the fruit before chuckling, "Hey, Mu Chen, we meet again."
