Chapter 466: 1 Million Spiritual Stones, North Sea Black Turtle
"Sixty million spirit stones!" Chu Lengyu raised the bid.
The people in box number 99 were clearly surprised that she would raise the price so decisively.
But he didn't hesitate for long and immediately followed up: "Seventy million spirit stones."
This unwavering demeanor was exactly the same as that of the golden-masked man before, as if millions of spirit stones were nothing more than dust in his eyes.
This round of bidding caused a complete sensation at the auction.
Whether in the regular seats on the first floor or the other private rooms on the second floor, everyone realized that this auction was unusual.
A fragmented fifth-order body-refining technique actually fetched a sky-high price of seventy million spirit stones?!
Did they mishear, or has the other party gone mad?
No, neither is right.
The auction had an eerie atmosphere, raising suspicions.
Both Box 99 and Box 88 appeared unusually suspicious.
Why are they so determined to obtain this Demon Blood Body Refining Technique?
The person in VIP room number 99 thought that their bid was high enough to deter others from bidding.
Unexpectedly, there was someone else equally determined to win.
The two bidders took turns bidding, seventy million, eighty million, sixty million...
Until Chu Lengyu quoted an astonishing price of one hundred million spirit stones!
The whole place was in an uproar!
Everyone stared in disbelief at the direction of VIP room number 88.
One hundred million spirit stones is an astronomical figure for most cultivators; they could never see that many spirit stones in their entire lives.
And she quoted that price without hesitation.
"It's her again! She was the one who auctioned off the Destiny Wheel Fruit before!"
"No wonder Senior Danzhu said she was willing to pay any price, and she could come up with 100 million spirit stones. What a ruthless person she is!"
"Are you crazy? You're willing to spend 100 million spirit stones for a flawed fifth-order body refining technique?"
"No, she must know something. This Demon Blood Body Refining Technique holds secrets we don't know."
"But that's a hundred million spirit stones!"
The discussions were mixed with a variety of emotions, including shock, doubt, envy, and jealousy.
Everyone stared intently at VIP room number 88, wishing they could penetrate the array and see what lay inside.
Even the people in the Sea King's Palace were taken aback.
They naturally understood that possessing 100 million spirit stones and being able to take out 100 million spirit stones at any time were two completely different levels.
In the world of cultivation, wealth, companions, methods, and land are all important, with wealth ranking first, which shows its importance.
At this moment, they stared in the direction of VIP room number 88, their eyes flashing with shock and suspicion.
This mysterious woman was able to produce 100 million spirit stones so easily, so her identity must be limited to those top-tier powerful forces.
Inside VIP room number 99, a brief silence fell, as if someone was weighing something.
A moment later, the hoarse male voice rang out again: "Fellow Daoist in Box 88, our bidding is nothing more than giving spirit stones to the Myriad Star Alliance for nothing. How about I compensate you with some rare spiritual materials, you..."
"Do you think I lack those spiritual materials?" Chu Lengyu interrupted the other party without any politeness.
The strongest beings in the Minghai Realm are only at the seventh rank, and high-level materials are not abundant.
For her, being alone and without any ties, low-level materials were useless, and high-level materials required time and effort to find weapon refiners and alchemists, which was too troublesome.
The hoarse-voiced man hadn't expected her to refuse so directly, and his tone carried a hint of threat: "Aren't you afraid that you might have the life to bid but not the life to take it?"
"Ahem!" Just then, Fairy Danzhu coughed lightly, making her presence known.
The people in VIP room number 99 were wary of the hidden strength of the Myriad Stars Alliance and dared not offend them easily.
So he simply continued with his bid: "Two hundred million spirit stones!"
All the cultivators on the first floor were numb.
They seem to have forgotten what a spirit stone is.
These big shots really don't care about our feelings at all when they're making offers.
At this moment, a doubtful voice suddenly came from the No. 1 private room where the Sea King Palace was located: "Two hundred million spirit stones is no small amount. Can you really produce it immediately, fellow Daoist?"
The Qianlan Sect members followed closely behind: "Yes, could it be that they're deliberately asking for an impossiblely high price?"
Inside VIP box number 99, he realized that these forces were beginning to doubt his identity.
But so what?
He stopped pretending and said frankly, "You don't need to guess. Beihai can afford a mere two hundred million spirit stones."
As soon as the words were spoken, the expressions of the cultivators changed drastically.
The Demon King of the Four Seas—what kind of being is that?
They ruled over the vast ocean, possessing immense power and immeasurable wealth.
Among these four sea demon kings, only the North Sea Black Tortoise has transformed into a man, and its identity in VIP room number ninety-nine is now obvious.
The high-ranking cultivators from sects such as the Sea King Palace and the Thousand Mist Sect were astonished, their eyes immediately lighting up as if they had seen a rare treasure.
The North Sea Black Tortoise, this ancient and mysterious race of demonic beasts, has a completely different way of reproducing than other demonic beasts.
They reproduce asexually, and the world has the most instances of father and son existing at the same time, which cultivators jokingly refer to as "single heirs for ten thousand generations."
Bound by bloodline, each generation of demon kings inherits all the cultivation of the previous demon king. This unique method of inheritance ensures that the demon kings of the North Sea Xuan Turtle clan will become stronger and stronger.
However, this also means that once a certain generation of demon kings meets with misfortune, the entire lineage of demon kings of the North Sea Black Tortoise will be severed, and the entire race will be wiped out.
This extreme system of single inheritance would probably have disappeared without a trace in the long river of history long ago, had it not been for the long lifespan and amazing defense of the North Sea Black Tortoise itself.
Because of this characteristic, the North Sea Black Tortoise is extremely afraid of death and has always lived a secluded life, dwelling in the North Sea whirlpool. It never easily appears in the world, and even if cultivators want to find its traces, it is as difficult as ascending to heaven.
However, the fact that this North Sea Demon King has actually appeared here today is truly astonishing.
The high-ranking cultivators began to converse as if no one else was around.
Some people wondered, "Is this really the Demon King himself? Or could it be a puppet or some kind of substitute?"
Another person scoffed, "Heh, even that eternal turtle has moved. The other three sea demon kings are probably on Jin Gu Island too. I'm afraid today's auction isn't so simple."
Someone else exclaimed with sudden realization, "So it's a demon! No wonder he wanted to bid on this demon blood body-refining technique. Could he be scared? Haha!"
Then, the conversation shifted abruptly.
The Neptune Palace cultivator said meaningfully, "I wonder which fellow Daoist is in room number eighty-eight?"
