Chapter 1059: Chapter 656: 10 Trillion Immortal Stones! (4K)_2
Unexpectedly, even though Mr. Wan was determined to win, someone still placed a bid.
Everyone turned to look at a man cloaked in black robes, puzzled by his identity and daring to compete with Mr. Wan for the treasure.
Mr. Wan also cast a disapproving glance his way.
In the western region of the Immortal Realm, especially upon Divine Flame Mountain, who didn’t know about the Ancient Wan Clan and Mr. Wan?
Did this person plan to continue living in this territory?
Although Mr. Wan frowned, he refrained from acting rashly under the public gaze, especially with disciples from other Holy Lands, Prestigious Families, and Sects present. Maintaining decorum was necessary, so he raised his bid: "I bid 35 billion."
"Mr. Wan truly lives up to his name; increasing the bid by 5 billion Immortal Stones in one go. This time, the mysterious figure probably won’t dare compete, right?"
The crowd’s attention shifted back to Xiao Fan.
Since Xiao Fan had outbid Mr. Wan earlier, he had inevitably become the center of attention.
Xiao Fan spoke slowly, "35.1 billion Immortal Stones."
As these words fell, the crowd erupted into murmurs.
Was someone truly out to challenge Mr. Wan?
Each time the other party raised the bid by just 1 billion—it was evident this was targeted at Mr. Wan.
"My lord, this doesn’t bode well."
"This man dares to offend you; shall we teach him a lesson?"
"This is the Liusha Sect’s domain. For the sake of the Wan family’s dignity, we must tread carefully."
Mr. Wan held his temper.
With disciples from other Holy Lands and Prestigious Families present at the auction, it would be unseemly to target someone over a treasure.
At this point, the only way to save face was through money.
"40 billion Immortal Stones!"
"40.1 billion."
"50 billion!"
"50.1 billion."
"55 billion!"
"55.1 billion."
...
Mr. Wan was about to bid 60 billion Immortal Stones, but a servant from the Wan family stopped him: "My lord, the Billion-Year Flamegrass isn’t worth this price. It’s better to use Immortal Stones wisely and save them for other treasures."
"This person is deliberately inflating the price—could he be a plant of the Liusha Sect?"
The servants and disciples of the Wan family all suspiciously eyed the Elder presiding over the auction.
The Elder from the Liusha Sect smiled bitterly and shook his head.
The Liusha Sect, being second only to the Holy Lands of the Human Race, wouldn’t stoop so low as to offend the Wan family over a mere few hundred billion Immortal Stones.
An Immortal Emperor could still produce hundreds of billions or even trillions of Immortal Stones if desperate. Besides, the Liusha Sect housed Great Powers and wasn’t lacking in resources.
"Will Mr. Wan continue bidding?"
The Elder from the Liusha Sect nervously wiped the sweat from his brow.
Pushing the price higher was good, but offending Mr. Wan would be problematic.
Mr. Wan’s face darkened, remaining silent—a clear indication he was unwilling to bid further.
"551 billion once!"
"551 billion twice!"
"Sold!"
The Elder from the Liusha Sect finally concluded the auction, awarding the Billion-Year Flamegrass to Xiao Fan.
Xiao Fan competed with Mr. Wan not only because the Billion-Year Flamegrass was one of the materials needed by Suxin the Pill Saint but also to suppress the Wan family’s arrogance and serve justice on behalf of their Ancestor.
"Up next is a treasure discovered by a cultivator on Divine Flame Mountain—a Sacred Medicine for healing, the Flame Dragon Holy Fruit. This is a Nineteenth Grade Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, capable of curing most cold toxins across the Three Realms."
The Elder from the Liusha Sect retrieved a jade box and slightly opened its lid. Immediately, an overwhelming wave of heat poured out, forming into a fiery dragon, mesmerizing everyone present.
"Hiss... A Nineteenth Grade Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure..."
"Who exactly found this treasure on Divine Flame Mountain? They’ve surely struck it rich now."
"This item is priceless. Even if one doesn’t need it immediately, keeping it might prove useful someday—or it could fetch double its price when sold to someone desperate for it!"
The cultivators at the auction were in uproar.
No one expected that this month’s auction would feature a Nineteenth Grade Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure!
Divine Flame Mountain was abundant in Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures but perilous at the same time. Every month’s harvest rarely yielded supreme treasures like this one to auction.
At typical monthly auctions, even Seventeenth or Eighteenth Grade Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures were already considered remarkable.
This time, however, a Nineteenth Grade treasure had appeared!
"Starting price: 300 billion Immortal Stones, with minimum increasement of 10 billion Immortal Stones."
The Elder’s announcement caused many participants to immediately give up.
Three hundred billion Immortal Stones—many Immortal Emperor Realm experts couldn’t afford such a sum, even if they gave up everything they owned.
Even if they could afford it, most wouldn’t risk their fortunes.
"Though it’s not on the list of necessary medicinal materials, it’s a rare treasure. Starting at 300 billion Immortal Stones is quite reasonable."
Xiao Fan thought briefly and decided to bid on the item.
Lu Changsheng regularly bestowed treasures to Xiao Fan, whose amassed fortune was worth tens of trillions of Immortal Stones—wealth that could rival nations without exaggeration.
Xiao Fan could afford to bid extravagantly for the Flame Dragon Holy Fruit.
"330 billion."
Mr. Wan immediately raised the bid, causing the crowd to withdraw once more.
It seemed Mr. Wan, after losing earlier, was determined to reclaim his pride.
"331 billion."
Xiao Fan again escalated the tension against Mr. Wan.
Gasp.
The crowd was in an uproar once more.
No one expected this mysterious man to bid over 300 billion Immortal Stones!
Adding it all up, he was prepared to spend 400 billion Immortal Stones!
Such extravagant moves undoubtedly indicated that he came from a major power.
Mr. Wan’s expression darkened, and he raised his hand decisively: "500 billion!"
"500 billion?!"
The crowd erupted in shock.
Mr. Wan had increased the bid by 170 billion Immortal Stones at once, enough to purchase several Eighteenth Grade treasures.
This showed just how much Xiao Fan’s previous actions had completely infuriated him; Mr. Wan sought to crush the mysterious figure with a sky-high bid.
However, Xiao Fan leisurely declared, "510 billion."
"Madness!"
The cultivators present were dumbfounded.
One dared to bid, the other dared to counter!
The Flame Dragon Holy Fruit’s price was now at 500 billion!
"I’ll bid 800 billion!"
Mr. Wan’s eyes bulged with bloodshot veins, his breathing heavy—clearly driven into rage by Xiao Fan.
This time, he bid 800 billion with absolute determination.
"My lord..."
Even the servants of the Wan family were stunned.
A full 800 billion Immortal Stones!
It wasn’t that the Wan family couldn’t afford it, but the price was unjustified.
The Flame Dragon Holy Fruit was indeed a rare Nineteenth Grade Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, but that price was simply unreasonable.
The Elder from the Liusha Sect was flabbergasted.
He had predicted the item would sell for 400 billion to 500 billion Immortal Stones but was blindsided by the 800 billion bid!
"800 billion is no trivial sum. Surely, the mysterious figure won’t dare continue placing bids, right?"
"The Flame Dragon Holy Fruit isn’t worth 800 billion."
"Mr. Wan has lost his rationality."
Most participants voiced increasingly animated discussions.
With the price set this high, few were inclined to continue bidding.
"..."
The black-robed man sitting beside Xiao Fan seemed torn between speaking and staying silent.
800 billion was, indeed, an exorbitant price.
"810 billion."
Xiao Fan followed suit once again.
The auction was now thoroughly ignited.
Even as bids reached 800 billion, the mysterious figure dared to match them.
Mr. Wan’s forehead veins bulged: "One trillion!"
"Mr. Wan has gone insane!"
The auction erupted into chaos.
The two contenders for the Flame Dragon Holy Fruit were no longer rational—it had become a personal battle to crush the opposition!
A trillion Immortal Stones—it was unfathomable to most present.
"I’ll bid one trillion and ten billion."
Xiao Fan remained calm and composed.
With his vast fortune worth tens of trillions, spending one trillion Immortal Stones was nothing.
Xiao Fan remained masterful, unfazed.
"Damn, just who is this mysterious man?!"
"He’s locked horns with Mr. Wan. Even with one trillion on the table, he’s unfazed."
"Will Mr. Wan continue bidding?"
"Mr. Wan hails from the Ancient Wan Clan, with immense wealth at his disposal. Surely, he can offer an even higher bid, right?"
The crowd watching the drama unfold was completely stunned. True to the saying ’spectators fuel conflict,’ many even egged Mr. Wan on to bid higher.
It wasn’t their money being spent, after all.
Let the battle escalate.
"My lord, have mercy! We didn’t bring more than a trillion Immortal Stones with us. If we can’t pay afterward, the humiliation will be unbearable!"
The servants of the Wan family began practically begging Mr. Wan to halt his reckless bidding.
Squandering wealth wasn’t the way of the Wan family.
Should their ancestors at the clan learn that Mr. Wan foolishly spent a trillion Immortal Stones on a Flame Dragon Holy Fruit, he would undoubtedly face harsh consequences, perhaps even solitary confinement.
