Nine Revolutions Star Transformation

Chapter 245: Chapter 244: The Final Auction (Part 3)

Just as everyone was speculating about the identities of the number one and number three VIPs, the elder at the auction stage began to speak, ”The next item is the second-to-last highlight of the Pingwu Auction. It is a spiritual fruit called the Cloud Dream Fruit.

This fruit is an incredibly miraculous healing holy medicine, comparable to a seventh-grade elixir. It can heal anyone who has undergone qigong deviation or suffered heart spirit damage. Its most significant characteristic is that it is rich in Star Power. In terms of Star Power content, it is equivalent to one Upper Grade Star Stone, which can be directly absorbed and transformed into Star Power.

The Cloud Dream Fruit is said to mature only once in a thousand years, making it extremely rare. The starting price is 200,000 Star Stones, with each increment not less than 50,000. The auction starts now.”

The elder spoke at length, highlighting the extraordinary nature of the Cloud Dream Fruit. Many people showed expressions of envy and anticipation upon hearing this, but the price was too steep for most to accept.

Everyone was aware that only the seven mysterious VIPs could compete for it, with numbers one and three being the most prominent.

As for the Tuoba Clan, they could only look on in helplessness. The starting price of 200,000 Star Stones meant that the final result would probably exceed a million, which was beyond what they could afford.

At this moment, the first to bid was the number five VIP room, offering directly 250,000 Star Stones. It seemed that they had been biding their time, waiting for the right moment.

After the number five VIP room, the adjacent number six VIP room also placed a bid, reaching directly 300,000 Star Stones, and suddenly, the previously quiet VIP rooms became lively.

Chu Linfeng, upon hearing that this Cloud Dream Fruit could heal heart spirit wounds, made up his mind to obtain it no matter what. If his heart spirit was not healed, his strength would be unable to improve, which was an urgent matter.

When the price of the Cloud Dream Fruit reached 400,000, Chu Linfeng placed a bid, directly raising it to 450,000 Star Stones.

People below were somewhat excited; number three had finally made a move, and the upcoming competition was going to be fiercer.

The initial competition was intense, and when the bid reached 800,000 Star Stones, significantly fewer VIP rooms were still bidding. Now, it was down to just two competitors: number five and Chu Linfeng, while number one had not placed any bids at all.

Chu Linfeng knew that the opponent was waiting for the opportune moment to make a move, possibly intending to take it outright, like with the Fire Crystal or Ice Crystal. Unfortunately, Chu Linfeng was determined to not give the opponent any chance.

When Chu Linfeng increased the bid to 900,000 Star Stones, someone from the number one VIP room finally made a move, raising the bid to 1,000,000, an additional 100,000, which brought the long-quiet atmosphere to life again.

It seemed that the person in the number five VIP room was also determined to obtain the Cloud Dream Fruit. After the number one VIP room raised the bid, they immediately added 50,000 Star Stones without any hesitation.

Chu Linfeng felt somewhat annoyed. Damn, with them raising the bid like this, how much would he need to finally buy it at the end? He immediately exclaimed, ”Brother Wei, go directly for 1,500,000 Star Stones. I want to see who would still dare to compete with me!”

Wei Qun was stunned, thinking he had heard wrong. ”What? 1,500,000 Star Stones?” His face was filled with doubt.

”Yes, you heard right, 1,500,000 Star Stones,” Chu Linfeng stated.

Wei Qun’s hand trembled as he pressed the button. Was Niu Tian out of his mind, to increase by 450,000 all at once? Damn, this would surely cause public outrage.

Sure enough, when the elder announced that number three VIP room had raised the bid to 1,500,000, everyone was shocked, including those in the number one VIP room, who were slightly taken aback.

Soon after, a middle-aged man beside them said, ”Go find out who this person is, and tell him that the Cloud Dream Fruit is of great use to me. Ask him not to raise the bid further, and I will repay him.”

”Understood! I will take care of it right away,” the middle-aged man replied, leaving the VIP room to approach Ling’er, standing near the auction stage.

As Ling’er saw the middle-aged man approach, she immediately met him. After he whispered a few words into her ear, he left, and Ling’er then headed towards Chu Linfeng’s room.

”Young Master, Ling’er requests an audience on an important matter!” Ling’er stated from outside.

Fully understanding Ling’er’s intentions, Chu Linfeng responded, ”Tell the other party, everything else I can let him have, but not the Cloud Dream Fruit. That is specifically why I came here.”

After hearing this, Ling’er spoke directly to the people in the number one VIP room. The middle-aged man could be heard exclaiming angrily, ”He dares to refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit! Once this auction ends, have him killed and take the Cloud Dream Fruit back.”

”Do not act recklessly! This is not the Imperial City; we should restrain ourselves. Since he wants it so much, we should let him have it. This Cloud Dream Fruit is indeed too expensive at 1,500,000 Star Stones; we don’t need to spend so many Star Stones.”

Those below once again experienced the shock delivered by the number three VIP room, all speculating that the person in number three might be the Second Prince of the Imperial City.

In the end, Chu Linfeng acquired the Cloud Dream Fruit for 1,500,000 Star Stones, and next was the final highlight of the Wenqin Auction House.

”Ladies and gentlemen! The most anticipated moment of today has arrived. We are now auctioning the crown jewel of the Wenqin Auction House! The Earth Tier Top Grade Martial Arts Manual—Demon-Breaking Fist! Everyone here should understand what an Earth Tier Top Grade Martial Arts Manual means, so I won’t say more. The starting price is 500,000 Star Stones, with each bid increase not less than 100,000. The auction starts now!” Ling’er announced loudly.

Earth Tier martial arts, especially Top Grade ones, are indeed extremely rare. The one Old Man Xu gave to Chu Linfeng was only of lower grade, incomparable in value.

”Brother Tian, are you going to bid for this martial arts manual? An Earth Tier martial art, its power must be impressive,” Wei Qun reminded him at this moment.

Chu Linfeng was also indecisive. He really did not have any good martial skills to wield, the only one being the Wind Chasing Sword Technique. Unfortunately, it was merely a Profound Tier martial skill. Although he possessed Heaven-Defying Martial Skills, they were too restrictive and currently unlearnable; if he encountered a Celestial Martial Realm expert, he would only be able to run for his life.

And soon entering the Imperial City, increased strength was necessary. It seemed he had no choice but to acquire this martial arts manual as well.

”Buy it, no matter how many Star Stones it costs! Handle it yourself, and I’ll wait for your result!” Chu Linfeng instructed.

The Earth Tier Top Grade Martial Arts Manual was indeed enticing, with even participants from the general area joining the bid. The price quickly soared to 1,000,000 Star Stones, and continued to rise.

Especially number four and the previously silent number two, whose bids were the fiercest; before long, it reached a total of 1,500,000.

Wei Qun watched Chu Linfeng with a tense expression, hoping for guidance, but the latter didn’t even glance at him.

In the end, the bidding for the martial arts manual halted at 1,700,000 Star Stones, the price offered by number four VIP room. Just as Ling’er prepared to announce the final winner as the fourth VIP room, Wei Qun, in a moment of resolve, added an additional 300,000, bringing it to a total of 2,000,000 Star Stones.

This move shocked everyone, causing numerous speculations and discussions, the most formidable being from those in the number four VIP room, loud enough for Chu Linfeng to clearly hear, ”The person inside number three, after this auction ends, be prepared to meet your doom...”
