Gaowu invasion, I can see the future

90: Demon Slaying Samurai Sword, Dragon Blood Ancient TreeBai Yu raised his cup, took a sip, and asked, ”I see you haven’t Cultivated yet. What are your plans now?”

Wu Hao gave a bitter smile and said, ”No plans. It’s just... I might sell all the useless things like the family’s properties. Improving my strength is the main priority.”

”Hmm, that’s not a bad idea. A chaotic world is upon us!”

Saying that, Bai Yu took another sip, glancing at Wu Yuming and his somewhat pampered-looking son.

Although they were relatives, Wu Hao wasn’t their biological son, so he could only rely on himself.

Bai Yu wasn’t familiar with Wu Hao, so naturally, he couldn’t help him.

Everyone has their own path in life.

For some reason, Bai Yu suddenly thought of what Professor Kong Shen had said.

Although he was a Transmigrator with a Golden Finger, seemingly with a bright future, in the end, he was just one of the brilliant stars.

To save this world with his own power, it was incredibly difficult!

After a brief chat, one group of people left, and another arrived.

This was the dinner party, a social game.

Bai Yu had met most of his few connections.

’Not all my connections, though. My biggest connections, besides the Investigation Bureau staff, are still Director Yang, Professor Professor Wang Wen, and Professor Feng.’

’Oh, right! And those two wealthy individuals.’

Bai Yu looked at He Chenming and Wei Wutao; these two had competed fiercely for the Taiping Secret Art.

Moreover, these two guys had spent most of the dinner party together, so they were probably in cahoots.

Just like that, the one-hour dinner party quickly ended.

After the dinner party, the auction continued.

As the second half began, Bai Yu, who clearly knew an attack was imminent, still felt a little uneasy.

’I wonder how Director Yang prepared for this.’

’If I weren’t a key target, and Zhao Yu wasn’t also watching me, staying there could be dangerous. If I ran this time, there would be a next time. So I really didn’t want to come...’

The auction continued, and many of the items up for bid this time looked quite good.

A golden abacus-like item was acquired by Li Yunbin and given to Zhao Bin.

Unfortunately, there was nothing suitable for Liu Feifei and Jiang Chen.

Liu Feifei had already obtained a fire whip, so she wasn’t in a hurry.

As for Jiang Chen, Li Yunbin had promised to let him choose from the subsequent treasure vault.

In the blink of an eye, an hour passed, and it was time for the blind box again.

Bai Yu couldn’t help but perk up.

Dragon Blood Tree, it should be here by now, right!?

The first item was a samurai sword, and the auctioneer introduced it, saying, ”This item comes from the island nation of the Seventh Administrative Region. According to current research, it has the ability to slay strange creatures, and after slaying them, this weapon can gain some enhancements.”

”Besides this ability, it is also incredibly sharp and can easily cut through any metal.”

”...”

”Starting bid is ten million, with each bid not less than one million.”

Although the ghost-slaying and strengthening ability seemed a bit unusual, everyone’s enthusiasm for bidding remained high.

Bai Yu’s attention wasn’t on this item, but on a withered tree being brought onto the stage from behind, its surface covered in a layer of gray, looking like dust.

Dragon Blood Tree! My Dragon Blood Tree!

Baby, you’ve finally appeared!

In just one minute, the price of this sword was raised to 33 million.

It was eventually acquired by Wu Hao’s cousin, Wu Yifei.

”The next item for auction is a withered-looking tree.”

”But don’t underestimate this tree. Although it looks a bit withered, our tests show that ordinary Ling Yuan Realm weapons, even thousands of degrees of high temperature, minus one hundred degrees of extreme cold, etc., cannot affect it in any way!”

”Everyone should have heard the stories of the Bodhi Tree and the Wutong Divine Wood. When they were first discovered, they also exhibited this characteristic. I won’t say much more about the specifics.”

”Starting bid is ten million, with each bid not less than one million.”

The wealthy individuals present were not foolish. Even if they had heard of the Bodhi Tree and the Wutong Divine Wood, what good was it?

No one knew how to actually use this item!

This was purely to stimulate bidding with such information.

Bai Yu, however, clearly knew that Wang Chongfei had spent three years to figure out this item! And it had resulted in his demise.

If he obtained this treasure, he would definitely keep a very low profile.

And also kill more Blood Race and Lizardmen to nurture the tree and grow flowers.

These twoAlien staying in Tianhai City seemed to be providing him with experience.

How nice!

”Fifteen million.”

”...”

Wang Chongfei bid twenty-two million, and then it seemed no one else was bidding.

Bai Yu paused for a moment, raised his paddle, and said, ”Twenty-three million.”

Wang Chongfei, beside him, looked at Bai Yu in surprise and chuckled, ”I just liked the look of this item; I don’t know what it’s used for.”

”I don’t mean to compete with CEO Wang; I just genuinely want to buy this item.”

”Oh? Do you know its use?”

”I don’t. However, I have a good relationship with a professor, so buying it as a gift for him to research would work.”

”Alright then, I won’t interfere.”

But in front, He Chenming raised his paddle: ”25 million.”

Bai Yu frowned. Are you trying to provoke me? Just watch me deal with you!

”28 million!”

Ultimately, Bai Yu acquired the item for 28 million.

He acquired it, but He Chenming just had to make him uncomfortable.

That was absolutely intolerable!

Li Yunbin saw that Bai Yu was very displeased with He Chenming and chuckled, ”Bidding at an auction is common. Just consider it a contribution to the canal; no need to take it to heart.”

But what was Bai Yu’s temperament like?

These two guys, due to the stolen spiritual material case and the Blood Pi Xiu case, had already entered his radar.

Now they were even staying at the Investigation Bureau. And they had participated in the auction of the Taiping Secret Art, which almost confirmed it!

In any case, an investigation was unavoidable.

Thinking of this, he whispered into Li Yunbin’s ear, ”Captain, this He Chenming might be colluding with the Blood Race.”

The reason he said ’colluding with the Blood Race’ was mainly because they cultivated blood-attribute spiritual materials and there was information about the Blood Qilin case.

Li Yunbin was stunned for a moment, looking at Bai Yu with an expression that seemed to say: Are you sure this isn’t personal?

Bai Yu said speechlessly, ”It was confirmed through several incidents. You can investigate.”

Hearing this, Li Yunbin nodded and said, ”Okay!”

After acquiring the Dragon Blood Tree, Bai Yu felt satisfied with the auction; it had ended perfectly.

He carefully calculated, owing Li Yunbin forty-six million! That meant he had spent over one hundred million!

Money was flowing like water.

Subsequently, one auction item after another appeared, all seemingly of high quality. Those who hadn’t bought anything yet were now in high spirits.

Bai Yu, meanwhile, was looking down at the time.

8:37 PM, 8:40 PM.

The auction seemed to be nearing its end. Professor Kong Shen walked onto the stage, taking over from the auctioneer.

Bai Yu was a bit surprised. What did Professor Kong Shen intend to do?

Just as he was thinking this, an image appeared on the screen.

This image was clearly taken by a drone.

The scene captured seemed to be an oasis in a desert.

No!

This oasis was incredibly lush, beyond imagination. The key was that the camera had spiritual energy imaging capabilities.

The Spiritual Qi in the image was almost tangible!

’What exactly has Professor Kong Shen come up with...’
