Chapter 238 Fishing Auction, City Lord Mingfeng
He had seen it a long time ago from the ancient books he collected from the Youzhou Dynasty.
Innate Sword Embryo is a special kind of Innate treasure, to some extent it can already be called an Innate Spiritual Treasure. However, it is extremely difficult for this kind of Sword Embryo to take shape. It requires a long time and a special environment to have a slight possibility of nurturing. Moreover, this kind of Sword Embryo is highly malleable and naturally close to the Great Dao. If it is refined into Magic Treasures, not only will it have great power, but it will also greatly help the user in comprehending the Great Dao.
The most important thing is that this kind of Sword Embryo is naturally spiritual, and it can even be said to be a special kind of life form that can grow on its own.
This kind of Innate treasure is simply immeasurable in value because of its special growth potential. How the person who obtains it uses it will determine its future growth direction. This kind of thing also requires a long time to nurture, often spanning thousands of years, tens of thousands of years, or even billions of years.
This kind of Innate treasure has been studied the most by the human race, so its appearance in the Beast Realm is indeed a surprise and delight for the black-robed clone. It feels like it's being wasted in the hands of these rough guys.
Because of its uniqueness, Innate treasures can emit a kind of aura that shields Celestial Secrets. Just like this stone in front of us, even a human cultivator would find it difficult to discern anything from it.
Although it is difficult to see from the outside, the special aura emanating from its surroundings indicates that it is not ordinary. If it were in the hands of the human race, its price would probably not be just a mere ten million Spirit Stones. Its value would definitely increase several times or even more, after all, the human race likes to gamble.
"Why is it that no one wants such a treasure?" Seeing that no one responded for a while, Chitang furrowed his brows slightly and skillfully enticed, "Everyone can feel the aura emanating from this stone. If it were an ordinary treasure, it wouldn't emit such a special rhythm."
The crowd was tempted by his words.
Soon, someone below made a move: "Fifteen million Spirit Stones!"
"Twenty million Spirit Stones!"
"Twenty-two million Spirit Stones!"
...
The black-robed clone, of course, wouldn't let this kind of treasure fall into someone else's hands. He directly raised the price: "Fifty million Spirit Stones!"
He wasn't afraid of attracting attention either. He was determined to obtain this thing for himself.
As soon as this price was announced, the whole venue fell silent, and everyone turned their heads, their expressions filled with surprise and uncertainty.
Could it be that this guy has figured out its mysteries?
Or is he just gambling?
In a private box on the high platform, a middle-aged man in black clothes with a sinister expression narrowed his eyes and shot out two cold lights. After thinking for a moment, he also entered a price: "Fifty-five million Spirit Stones!"
The crowd was once again astonished and turned their heads to look.
The black-robed clone didn't hesitate and continued to bid: "Sixty million Spirit Stones!"
The cultivators continued to turn their heads.
The middle-aged man in black clothes slowly put down his hand, no longer bidding, but the smile on the corner of his mouth widened, his gaze flickering.
Chitang also didn't expect this stone to fetch such a high price. He was instantly filled with excitement, and even the snake tail behind him was rhythmically tapping the spirit jade floor. "Good, this senior has offered a price of eighty million Spirit Stones. Is there any fellow daoist who wants to continue?"
The crowd rolled their eyes.
We are not fools. With 80 million Spirit Stones, is there nowhere to spend them?
The Venerable senior in this private room has too many Spirit Stones to burn. It can be seen from the fact that he just spent 8 million Spirit Stones to buy those two fox girls.
"80 million Spirit Stones once... 80 million Spirit Stones twice... 80 million Spirit Stones three times! Congratulations, senior, this source stone containing a precious treasure is now yours!"
Chitang smiled and personally came forward to make the handover with the Spirit Stones.
Such a big customer, it's worth doing this.
Throwing the storage bag containing 80 million Spirit Stones, the black-robed figure shook the source stone and put it into the storage ring, a smile flashing in his eyes.
Originally, he only came to rescue the fox clan, but he didn't expect such a pleasant surprise.
After counting the Spirit Stones and looking at the mysterious black-robed person in front of him, Chitang was about to speak when his ears twitched slightly. He nodded discreetly and then smiled, "Senior, are you from another city? It's rare to see a Venerable who has reached the Void Fusion Realm in our city. Our city lord would like to invite you for a drink. What do you think..."
The black-robed figure said indifferently, "Not interested."
Saying that, he waved his hand and rolled up the two fox girls on the soft couch, then got up and left the private room.
Getting this Innate Sword Embryo was already an unexpected joy. He had no interest in the upcoming auction, and it was purely a waste of time for him to stay here.
As for whether his actions would attract attention or make the city lord angry, it was not within his consideration.
Listening to the departing figure of the black-robed figure, Chitang narrowed her beautiful eyes, her red lips moving slightly, and she transmitted a few sounds in a certain direction.
Soon, the private room where the black-robed figure had just competed opened, and a middle-aged man in black clothes walked out quickly, followed closely by a black stream of light.
"It's the city lord!"
"I didn't expect the city lord to come this time. Could there be more treasures behind?"
"This private room was the one that competed with that Venerable before... And this stone was originally brought by the city lord. What's the meaning of this?"
"It's obvious. The city lord personally acted as a bidder to raise the price!"
"Damn, this is too sneaky!"
Many people in the venue recognized him. The black-clothed middle-aged man who had just appeared was the city lord of this city, Ming Feng!
At this moment, the black-robed figure had already left Ming Feng City, stepping on the Flying Sword and speeding ahead, planning to find a place to settle down and inquire about the specific situation of the two fox girls from the Moon Fox Clan.
Suddenly, a stream of light chased after him from behind, directly intercepting him in mid-air.
"Fellow daoist, please stay!"
Ming Feng dissipated the black light protecting him, revealing his true appearance.
"It's City Lord Ming Feng!"
The two fox girls' eyes showed a look of extreme fear.
When they were first brought to the auction house, they had seen Ming Feng and knew how terrifying and cruel this guy was, and he was also a Venerable at the middle stage of the Void Fusion Realm!
The black-robed figure had long sensed the other party's approach. The reason why he didn't return to the previous inn was to lure him out and see what he was up to.
"Who are you and why did you stop me?" The black-robed figure said calmly.
Ming Feng sneered and said, "I am the city lord of Ming Feng City. Fellow daoist just bought that source stone. Do you know what treasures are inside?"
The black-robed figure raised an eyebrow and said coldly, "What does it matter if I know or not?"
Upon hearing the tone in the other party's words, Ming Feng immediately smiled, "As long as fellow daoist is willing to tell me the secrets inside, I am willing to offer 100 million Spirit Stones to buy it. In the end, fellow daoist will make a net profit of 20 million Spirit Stones. This is not a small amount!"
