Chapter 2158 Ancient Crimson Scorpion Demon Core, the Grand Finale
Spring Fairy's voice is very alluring.
Combined with her beautiful face.
This instantly excited everyone in the auction hall.
As soon as he finished speaking, countless bids from True Immortals erupted.
"Five million and one million!"
"Five million two hundred thousand!"
"Five and a half million!"
Six million!
……
Soon, the price of Starry Sky Stones was driven up to an astronomical six million mid-grade immortal stones.
However, Chen Xuan still showed no intention of making a move.
He sat quietly in place, his expression utterly calm.
This scene made Yu Hui, who was standing to the side, a little anxious.
"Fellow Daoist Xuan Chen, this is a Starry Sky Stone. Aren't you tempted?"
"Hehe, fellow Daoist, you jest. Starry Sky Stones of this quality are extremely rare. How could I not be tempted? However, the current price seems high, but it's actually still far below the market price. There's no point in me making a move now!"
Chen Xuan was not one to speak without reason.
He naturally has his own principles when it comes to doing things.
Moreover, taking action at this moment would be nothing more than a waste of time.
"Alas, it is I who am being a bit impatient!"
Yu Hui sighed and continued to sit quietly in place.
Soon, when the price of Starry Sky Stones was driven up to eight million mid-grade immortal stones, Chen Xuan finally made his move.
"Eight and a half million middle-grade immortal stones!"
Chen Xuan's loud voice rang out.
Everyone present was stunned by his words.
Adding 500,000 mid-grade immortal stones in one go is a truly rare and generous gesture.
However, many people have suffered losses at Chen Xuan's hands.
Everyone cursed under their breath when they saw Chen Xuan raise the price again.
"Is it that madman again? Did his immortal stones just fall from the sky?"
"Isn't that right? He added 500,000 mid-grade immortal stones in one go. This person is really generous!"
"Heh, this guy ruined the Thousand Gold Pill formula last time. Is he planning to use the same trick again this time?"
Countless curses rang out from the scene.
At this moment, Chen Xuan's gaze remained completely calm.
It was as if they hadn't heard the angry shouts from these people at all.
But Fairy Chunling seems to thrive on chaos.
Seeing that everyone had a lot of opinions about Chen Xuan, he immediately chuckled and said, "I wonder if any fellow Daoist is willing to raise the price? If so, you'd better hurry up!"
As soon as he finished speaking, seven or eight experts at the Celestial Immortal level raised their bids.
"Eight.6 million!"
"Eight million eight hundred thousand!"
Nine million? Keep going if you dare!
Seeing these people, I realized they were already starting to sulk with me.
Chen Xuan showed no fear whatsoever.
He smiled calmly: "Ten million!"
Ten million mid-grade immortal stones!
This is no small sum for any expert at the Celestial Immortal realm.
But for Chen Xuan, it was nothing more than a drizzle.
After all, among the spoils he had seized during this period, there were quite a few mid-grade immortal stones.
Even if it costs ten million mid-grade immortal stones at once, he doesn't feel the slightest bit of heartache.
hum!
The atmosphere in the auction room froze once again.
The expressions on everyone's faces as they looked at Chen Xuan became extremely ugly.
Those who were bidding against Chen Xuan originally planned to raise the price and scare him away.
Unexpectedly, Chen Xuan was even more generous.
They added a full million mid-grade immortal stones to their highest price.
This extravagant gesture truly shocked everyone present.
"Damn it, who is this guy?"
"They added a million mid-grade immortal stones in one go. Is this a provocation?"
"Hehe, fellow Daoist is truly generous. However, I also have a use for this Starry Sky Stone. I will not back down!"
Countless people cursed angrily.
However, a few stubborn individuals still did not choose to back down.
Soon, the bidding started again.
"Eleven million!"
"Twelve million!"
"Thirteen million!"
Countless loud voices rang out.
Everyone present was stunned.
The powerful bidders participating in this auction were clearly aiming for Chen Xuan.
Furthermore, everyone paid an extra one million genuine immortal stones.
The pressure was instantly put on Chen Xuan.
"Hehe, fellow Daoists are truly interesting. In that case, how could I back down?"
Chen Xuan sneered, and soon his voice rang out again.
"Fifteen million!"
This time, Chen Xuan raised the price by two million mid-grade immortal stones in one go.
Those who had originally planned to bid against Chen Xuan were secretly lamenting their misfortune.
Just now, the price of thirteen million mid-grade immortal stones was already slightly higher than the market price.
At this moment, Chen Xuan immediately raised the price by two million mid-grade immortal stones.
This is 10% to 20% higher than the market price.
If they continue to raise the price, they will be the ones who suffer the most once the Star Stone falls into their hands.
"Hehe, fellow Daoist, you have quite the grand gesture. I admire you."
"Since even Old Monster Qian is unwilling to bid, I also choose to give up!"
"We are truly impressed by your generosity, fellow Daoist. I will not raise the price."
Soon, everyone who had participated in the bidding said they would no longer raise their bids.
This made Fairy Chunling, who was in charge of the auction, slightly dissatisfied.
But she always had a warm smile on her face.
Soon after, Fairy Chunling's voice rang out.
"Congratulations to this fellow Daoist on acquiring a Starry Sky Stone for 15 million mid-grade immortal stones!"
Before long, the Starry Sky Stone was delivered to Chen Xuan by Cui'er.
After carefully inspecting the Starry Sky Stone and confirming that there were no problems with it, Chen Xuan was satisfied with the settlement of 15 million mid-grade immortal stones.
His extravagant spending made Yu Hui, who was standing to the side, extremely envious.
"Although I am only at the early stage of Celestial Immortal, my net worth is nowhere near yours. No wonder so many people think that you alchemists are all very wealthy!" Yu Hui exclaimed.
Chen Xuan didn't seem to care. After chatting with Yu Hui for a few minutes, he continued attending the auction.
Many more great items appeared at the subsequent auctions.
Yu Hui finally encountered something that moved her heart.
He purchased a low-grade supreme immortal artifact for twelve million.
Although in Chen Xuan's eyes, the low-grade supreme immortal artifact that Yu Hui bought was of very ordinary quality.
But Yu Hui was overjoyed.
Chen Xuan didn't say much, and could only congratulate Yu Hui.
After another half hour, a young female cultivator dressed in a red dress came to the auction platform carrying a tray covered with red silk.
Curious, Chen Xuan quickly scanned the area with his Heavenly Illusion Demon Eye.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that on the tray held by the female cultivator was a demon core the size of a fist, radiating a terrifying, ancient aura.
The patterns on the surface of the demon core are intricate and complex.
Ordinary True Immortals would naturally find it difficult to recognize the origin of this demon core.
But Chen Xuan, after just one glance, couldn't help but feel secretly pleased.
"The outermost ring of this demon core is a dark gold color, while the innermost pattern is a pale blue. Doesn't this mean that this is an extremely rare Crimson Scorpion Demon Core?"
Chen Xuan looked secretly delighted.
Crimson Scorpion Demon Core!
This is the demon core of a famous scorpion-type demon beast.
Although the red silk concealed the aura of the demon core.
However, the demon cores that can be auctioned off must be of exceptional quality.
At that moment, everyone else's attention was also drawn to the contents of the tray.
Wow!
Fairy Chunling pointed her delicate hand in mid-air.
The red silk on the tray was gently lifted by a surge of spiritual energy.
Soon, a fist-sized demon core from a mid-stage Celestial Immortal demon beast appeared in everyone's sight.
The voice of Fairy Chunling rang out as well.
"Fellow Daoists, this is an extremely rare mid-stage Celestial Immortal Crimson Scorpion Demon Core, a valuable resource for cultivating scorpion-type demon beasts!"
"We found this Crimson Scorpion Demon Core among a pile of ancient demon beast cores!"
……
Hearing Fairy Chunling's explanation, Chen Xuan was secretly surprised.
"Found an ordinary Crimson Scorpion Demon Core among a pile of ancient demon beast cores? This..."
Chen Xuan had a feeling that something was not quite right.
Curious, he activated the Heavenly Illusion Demon Eye again for a closer inspection.
He realized that the red silk might have been the reason he was being blocked from exploring.
He couldn't see the demon core on the tray very clearly.
At this moment, the open and aboveboard investigation allowed Chen Xuan to see many details.
The surface of this fist-sized demon core was not smooth; instead, it was entirely jagged.
Even those seemingly irregular lines are not continuous lines, but rather a dense array of tiny dots.
It is only because these tiny dots are so densely packed that they are mistaken for a line when viewed from a distance.
"Hehe, this is not a Crimson Scorpion Demon Core at all. If I'm not mistaken, this is an extremely rare Ancient Crimson Scorpion Demon Core!" Chen Xuan said with secret delight.
Ancient Crimson Scorpion!
This is a famous and powerful monster from the ancient times.
He was also a powerful overlord who roamed the world.
Don't underestimate this demon core; it's only a mid-stage Celestial Immortal demon core.
However, the demon core of the Ancient Crimson Scorpion is completely different from that of the Crimson Scorpion.
"If I can acquire this demon core and have Chen Xie refine it, Chen Xie's cultivation level should be able to rise by one small realm!"
Thinking of this, Chen Xuan became even more determined to obtain the Ancient Crimson Scorpion Demon Core.
Wow!
Chen Xuan's spiritual thoughts spread rapidly.
It was discovered that there didn't seem to be many people interested in this demon core at the auction.
He smiled to himself.
"Looks like I should be able to snag a bargain this time!"
At that moment, Fairy Chunling's voice rang out again.
"One Crimson Scorpion Demon Core at the mid-stage of the Celestial Immortal realm, starting price 500,000 mid-grade immortal stones. Each bid must be at least 20,000 mid-grade immortal stones!"
As soon as Fairy Chunling finished speaking, everyone present showed little interest in the Crimson Scorpion Demon Core.
Only a handful of people started quoting prices.
"Five hundred and twenty thousand!"
"Five hundred and forty thousand!"
"Five hundred and sixty thousand!"
……
After waiting for a while and seeing that no one else had raised the price, Chen Xuan said indifferently, "Five hundred and eighty thousand."
This time, he didn't rashly raise the price.
He was well aware that although this ancient red scorpion demon core was extremely valuable.
But if he were to raise the price too much, many old monsters who were originally uninterested would join in.
In this way, his plan to snag a bargain will fall through.
really!
After Chen Xuan raised the price by 20,000 mid-grade immortal stones, no one else bid.
This left Fairy Chunling, who was in charge of the auction, very anxious.
No matter how much she touted the demon core, no one raised the price.
Helpless, Fairy Chunling had no choice but to announce in public that the demon core belonged to Chen Xuan.
"Congratulations, fellow Daoist, on acquiring a Crimson Scorpion Demon Core! The transaction price is 580,000 mid-grade immortal stones!"
Before long, the demon core was delivered to Chen Xuan.
After carefully examining the demon core in his hand and confirming that there were no problems, Chen Xuan paid the immortal stones and put it away.
After dealing with this matter, Chen Xuan continued to patiently wait for what he needed to appear.
Unfortunately, he waited for a full half hour but still didn't get anything useful.
However, Yu Hui managed to acquire two items in succession.
Although Chen Xuan did not understand what exactly Yu Hui had acquired.
But seeing how happy Yu Hui was, it was clear that these two things meant a great deal to him.
At that moment, the voice of Fairy Chunling, who was hosting the auction, rang out again.
"Fellow Daoists, what we are about to auction is the highlight of this auction!"
"Fellow Daoists, please wait and see!"
