Chapter 1162: The Explosion of the City on the Sea

Taoist Xingqiong fell into anxiety. Although he reaped a lot of rewards in the auction of the Zhanyue Red Flower, he also spent a lot of financial resources.

This Lingxu Star Fruit was very important to him, but he was no longer able to raise the price.

"6500 pieces of top-grade spirit stones!" The exiled fairy gritted her teeth and raised the price again.

At this time, Taoist Starry Sky had been completely outshined.

He was a powerful man in the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, and the ruler of the Spirit Transformation Realm in the Western Nine Regions, but he could not produce enough top-grade spirit stones.

Taoist Xingqiong was filled with resentment. He watched the exiled fairy bid but was powerless to do anything.

The Juque God General standing by also had a frown on his face. He wanted to help, but his own reserves were running low.

The eyes of everyone in the venue shifted back and forth between Taoist Starry Sky and the Exiled Fairy.

Some cultivators had a look of gloating in their eyes. The powerful men from the Western Nine Regions, who were usually high and mighty, were now also trapped by financial difficulties.

Just when everyone thought that the exiled fairy was going to take the Lingxu Star Fruit with 6500 top-grade spirit stones, a clear voice suddenly rang out: "7000 top-grade spirit stones!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and found it was Zhang Xuan.

"Fellow Daoist Xingqiong, let me take a picture of this and give it to you." Zhang Xuan secretly transmitted the message.

Taoist Master Xingqiong was slightly startled, and a complex look flashed in his eyes, including surprise and gratitude.

Zhang Xuan's move undoubtedly helped him at a critical moment.

The exiled fairy frowned slightly. She didn't expect that the organizer of the auction would raise the price at this juncture.

She originally thought that Taoist Starry Sky was no longer able to compete, and that Lingxu Star was a sure win, but now something unexpected has occurred.

"7200 pieces of top-grade spirit stones!" The exiled fairy bit her lower lip and made another bid.

Henry Zhang's eyes were firm, without any hesitation: "7500 top-grade spirit stones!"

The exiled fairy's face became increasingly ugly, and she was weighing the options rapidly in her mind.

If she continued to raise the price, her reserves of top-grade spirit stones would run out, but if she gave up, she would be unwilling to do so.

There was silence in the venue, and everyone held their breath, waiting for the banished fairy's response.

Time seemed to freeze, and every second was infinitely stretched.

Finally, the exiled fairy took a deep breath, slowly sat down, and gave up the bidding.

Xue Ji raised the auction hammer in her hand high, and said in a clear and pleasant voice: "7500 top-grade spirit stones for one time, 7500 top-grade spirit stones for two times, 7500 top-grade spirit stones for three times, deal!"

The auction hammer fell, and the crisp sound echoed throughout the venue, announcing that Zhang Xuan had successfully won the first Lingxu Star Fruit.

Zhang Xuan paid the spirit stone and gave the Lingxu Star Fruit to Xingqiong Daozun.

Taoist Xingqiong said solemnly: "The cause and effect of this Lingxu Star Fruit is too great, I will never let Brother Zhang Xuan suffer any loss."

"You are too polite, Daozun. It's just a small favor."

Taoist Xingqiong gritted his teeth and took out his Shenzhou, which was a top-grade spiritual treasure.

"Brother Zhang Xuan, I will accept this Lingxu Star Fruit and mortgage this Shenzhou to you, okay?"

Zhang Xuan hurriedly shook his head and said, "The top-grade spiritual treasure is so precious, this is inappropriate, and the Shenzhou is the Daozun's means of transportation, and it is also the face of the Daozun. How can I use the Shenzhou as collateral?"

"If that's the case, then it will be difficult for me to keep this Lingxu Star Fruit..." Taoist Xingqiong showed a look of pain on his face.

Henry Zhang sighed and said, "I wonder if the Venerable has something that is not very important to you but is also of high value as collateral or trading item?"

"High value is not that important to me..."

At this time, Taoist Starry Sky also had a conflicted look on his face.

Where can such a thing exist?

At this time, the Juque Divine General beside him said, "Brother Xingqiong, have you forgotten that the Heaven Burial Mausoleum is very suitable as collateral? Anyway, you probably won't need it, but its value is indeed immeasurable."

"Heavenly Burial Mausoleum... Is this appropriate? Isn't it unfair to Brother Zhang Xuan?"

Zhang Xuan hurriedly shook his head and said, "This Burial Heaven Mausoleum is very good, but if I only take one Lingxu Star Fruit, I'm afraid the amount is too low. How about I take another Lingxu Star Fruit in exchange?"

Originally, the suggestion of the Juque God General was mortgage, and the intention of the Xingqiong Daozun was also mortgage.

But I don’t know if Zhang Xuan misunderstood or wanted to do a favor and even wanted to make a deal.

At this time, Taoist Starry Sky couldn't refuse.

After all, this Burial Sky Mausoleum is of no use in his hands.

Who is crazy enough to go in there looking for opportunities?

"Since Brother Zhang Xuan said so, I'll trade it to you. I owe you a favor."

"it is good."

The next thing is simple.

Zhang Xuan spent another 7500 top-grade spirit stones to buy the second Lingxu Star Fruit.

As for the third Lingxu Star Fruit, it was bought by the exiled fairy for 7200 top-grade spirit stones.

The auction ended successfully.

Zhang Xuan followed the Taoist Master Xingqiong and the Divine General Juque to the Starfall Treasure Land in order to retrieve the Heaven Burial Mausoleum in the Starfall Treasure Land.

In the City of the Sea, although the auction has ended, its impact continues to spread like ripples in the Wilderness.

The fierce bidding and rare items showcased the rich heritage of the city on the sea.

As soon as the auction ended, Xingluo Treasure Domain and Juque Treasure Domain rented a 10-story palace in the City on the Sea as their future trading base.

Other forces in the Great Wilderness Realm were not willing to lag behind, and those who had not originally set up bases in the Chaoxi Sea area immediately arranged for one.

Those who have already established bases will further expand their scale.

With the establishment of various major treasure area strongholds, the trade of the Sea City has exploded.

In particular, with the addition of the Xingluo Treasure Domain and the Juque Treasure Domain from the Western Nine Domains, a large number of specialties and treasures were brought from the Western Nine Domains. Rare elixirs and spiritual objects filled the store shelves.

The forces in the Chaoxi Sea Area also took out their most valuable treasures, such as mysterious ancient artifacts found in deep-sea ruins, broken high-level natural formations, and so on.

In addition to the 25 palaces, the city on the sea also further expanded the trading market on the periphery, and shops on the streets sprang up like mushrooms after a rain.

In the Xinjian market, every magic weapon shop displays various magic weapons, including sharp swords, sturdy shields, and magical talismans.

The medicine shop is filled with medicines with various functions, including spirit-gathering pills for increasing spiritual power, rejuvenation pills for healing injuries, and barrier-breaking pills for breaking through realms.

Inside the spiritual plant shop, the spiritual plants are lush and green, exuding a charming scent. Some spiritual plants can purify spiritual energy, and some can be used as materials for alchemy.

There are so many rare and precious treasures that it is hard to take your eyes off them.

At the port, huge flying ships were coming in and out, loaded with all kinds of cargo.

As the trade in the Sea City continues to boom, more forces are attracted to trade here.

Some independent cultivators also came to the city on the sea, hoping to make a living in this prosperous place.

Some of them, relying on their own skills in refining instruments and pills, rent small shops in the city and sell the magic weapons and pills they made themselves.
