This was not the first time Lu Li was in this situation. Last time at the Heaven Punishing Auction House, it was a drop of Origin Blood Essence.
When the Origin Blood Essence came out, the silver dragon bloodline on his back glowed. The Burning Blood Skill was released automatically. His blood was boiling and his mind was filled with a strong idea that he must get that drop of blood.
Now, his blood was boiling again. The silver dragon bloodline once again sent him a strong message that he must get that beast claw.
Last time, that drop of Origin Blood Essence gave Lu Li the Dragon Roar Skill. This beast claw must be beneficial to his bloodline. Therefore, Lu Li shouted that he must get it at all costs.
He forced himself to calm down. He turned to Han Wuxin, forced a smile and said, "Lord Wuxin, this beast claw is very useful to me. I will get it.
But this time, I will do it myself. I can afford the billions of Xuan Crystals. "
Han Wuxin looked at the silver glow in Lu Li's eyes. He thought more highly of Lu Li.
The qi and energy of a warrior of the Soul Pond Realm made Han Wuxin feel depressed. This young man was not simple. If he really was a disciple of the immediate Lu Family, then Han Wuxin was taking a big gamble.
Soon, Han Wuxin made up his mind and said, "Brother Lu, since you value it so much, then go ahead. If you don't have enough Xuan Crystals, I will pay for you. It doesn't matter how much."
"Okay!"
Lu Li didn't waste any more time. He nodded and looked down. The pretty auctioneer had started to call out the base price. The base price was one billion Xuan Crystals, which was very high.
Almost all the people in the hall were disciples of small families. They were not qualified to participate in this kind of bidding. They could only enjoy the show.
Someone in the private rooms above made a bid. The beast claw was at least of a Beast King's claw. It might be an ancient beast claw. The three drops of Origin Blood Essence were valuable in itself.
Soon, the price was raised to two billion Xuan Crystals and people were calling out bids frequently. Lu Li didn't even make one bid. He just sat there in silence.
Yu Huashen, Ming Yu and the others looked at Lu Li nervously, waiting for him to make a move.
The price kept going up. By the time the price reached three billion, the number of bidders had dwindled. Only three people in private rooms were still raising the price.
Han Wuxin observed for a while and explained, "The bidder is in private room No. 7. It is the Tu Family, a sixth-rank Family.
There are also two other families. One is the Yang family from the Pavilion of Green Water, and the other is the Sixth Rank Chen family. "
Lu Li turned around and asked, "People from the Pavilion of Green Water are bidding as well?
Isn't this auction house owned by the Green Water Pavilion? "
"Hehe!"
Han Wuxin smiled faintly and said, "The Pavilion of Green Water is not a family. It is made up of four families. The Yang family is just one of the smaller ones.
The Pavilion of Delicacy and the Palace of Heaven's Roars were made up of several families. The Jiang Family was the leader of the Pavilion of Delicacy and the Ke Family was in charge of the Palace of Heaven's Roars.
If any of the twelve forces' clans is in power, they will become the twelve royal clans. If the Linglong Pavilion's Jiang Clan is no longer in power, another clan will take over, and that clan will become the new royal clan. "
"I see!"
Lu Li understood. Yu Huashen and Ming Yu were not surprised. Many forces at the Northern Desert were formed by several families.
Some took turns to hold power, some rose to power depending on the family's strength, and some held power together.
The price kept going up. When it reached four billion crystals, the Yang Family of the Pavilion of Green Water quit. Only the Tu Family and the Chen Family of the sixth rank were left.
Ming Yu and Yu Huashen were worried. The price was so high. If Lu Li got it, they would lose their travel expenses.
Could they borrow Xuan Crystals from the Han Family?
Would the Han Family lend them so many Xuan Crystals?
When the price reached 4.5 billion, the Tu Family said nothing. Clearly, the price had reached its limit and they didn't want to go further.
Finally, Lu Li made his move. He said to Han Wuxin, "Five billion for me."
Rich as the Han Family was, they were shocked by Lu Li's generosity. Others would raise the price by one or two billion and Lu Li would raise it by 500 million.
Han Wuxin knew that Lu Li had gotten a lot of Purple Xuan Crystals and Soul Crystals at the Gargoyle Mountain. Lu Li said he had billions of Xuan Crystals as well. Naturally, Han Wuxin wouldn't hold back.
It would feel good to take someone else's Xuan Crystals and shock the other families. Han Wuxin shouted, "Five billion."
There was an uproar and then silence. Everyone looked towards the private room of the Chen Family.
After a moment of silence, the Chen Family raised the price by 100 million. Han Wuxin looked at Lu Li who waved his hand and said, "Six billion."
Han Wuxin rolled his eyes. Lu Li was raising the price too fast. He was treating the Xuan Crystals like they were nothing.
That being said, the effect was good. The other families would know that Lu Li was determined to get it. Lu Li's imposing manner made the other families afraid to raise the price again.
Han Wuxin shouted again, "Six billion!"
The crowd was boiling again. This time, the Chen Family didn't say anything for a long time.
Lu Li and Han Wuxin were relieved. Six billion was a high price but Lu Li was satisfied with it.
When the pretty auctioneer was about to hit the gavel, someone in a private room suddenly shouted, "Seven billion!"
Han Wuxin and Lu Li looked gloomy. They didn't even have to see which private room it was. They could tell from the voice that it was Song He who made the bid without even looking at the private room number.
The Song Family didn't make a bid before. Now that they suddenly raised the price by one billion, their intention was clear — Han Wuxin almost fell out with Song He. Clearly, Song He was trying to get back at them. He was raising the price on purpose or he was trying to snatch the auction.
Han Wuxin looked at Lu Li, asking for his opinion.
Lu Li lowered his head and thought for a while. Then he reached out 10 fingers.
"Ten billion?"
Han Wuxin and the other patriarchs of the Han Family were shocked. Was Lu Li out of his mind?
Raising the price by three billion?
Did he have that many Xuan Crystals?
Lu Li nodded with certainty. Han Wuxin made up his mind and said, "Ten billion. I don't want more."
Han Wuxin's intention was clear. If Song He was just raising the price, then he had achieved his goal. If he raised the price higher and no one made a bid, then the Song Family would buy it.
This time, there was no more noise. They were waiting for the Song Family to make a bid.
The Song Family was scared. After all, they didn't want to buy the beast claw. They were just raising the price.
"Bang!"
The pretty auctioneer made the final decision. The highest price of the day had been reached.
Ten billion Xuan Crystals. That was almost all a powerful Fifth-rank Family could afford just for one treasure.
"Yu Huashen, give me more Xuan Crystals. If it is not enough, fill it with Soul Crystals!"
Lu Li waved his hand. Yu Huashen took out the Interspatial Ring with the Purple Xuan Crystals and handed it to Han Wuxin.
There were more than 700,000 Purple Xuan Crystals, which was equivalent to more than seven billion Xuan Crystals. Lu Li squandered it all at once.
Yu Huashen took out another 2000 Soul Crystals and handed them to Han Wuxin so that he could settle the bill with the auction house.
Han Wuxin didn't refuse. After all, he couldn't make the decision for such a large amount.
He sent a patriarch to settle the bill with the auction house and get back the auction item.
There was one more item that Lu Li didn't care about. He didn't even pay attention to it.
By the time the auction was over, the patriarch of the Han Family had come back with the huge golden claw.
Lu Li took over the golden claw with excitement. Last time, a drop of Origin Blood Essence helped him awaken the Dragon Roar Skill. What kind of Bloodline Skill could this golden claw help him?
