The Great Ruler

Chapter 655 - Competition



Chapter 655 - Competition

An endless source of light enveloped the huge auction house. At this point in time, it was tough to conceal the innumerable heated gazes. The rarity of this Void Great Solar Fruit far surpassed the Heavenly Flame Jade Chalcedony from before.

Mu Chen was also one of them that had a heated gaze. He quickly calmed his heart as he inhaled a mouthful of air. His body was tense as he stared at the auction house. Shortly after, he slightly narrowed his eyes as he saw a commotion coming from the few pavilions up ahead, which made his heart heavy. Indeed, as he had expected, those heavyweights also had their eyes on the Void Great Solar fruit.

This sort of treasure that could boost the strength of any Sovereign was pretty tempting.

On the auction platform, Mo Qing looked at the commotion below as he spoke in an indifferent voice, “Ladies and gentlemen, let us begin the auction.”

As he spoke, the entire auction house turned to silence. 7000 Sovereign Spiritual Liquids wasn’t a small amount. Thus, there weren’t many competitors, so now that it’s starting, many of them could only watch.

However, that silence did not last for long and was finally broken by someone.

“7300!”

The one that spoke out was a middle-aged man who had a pair of sharp and cold eyes with powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuating around him. Cleary, he possessed considerable strength.

“7500!”

Not long after he placed his bid, he was soon outbid.

“7800!”

The following price immediately broke the silence as the entire auction house was filled with commotion. Some experts couldn’t hold back on the Void Great Solar Fruit and started to call out prices.

In barely a few minutes, the price had already risen to as high as 8500 Sovereign Spiritual Liquids. The price made the eyes of many turn red. After all, such a massive amount of Sovereign Spiritual Liquids could allow them to speed up their cultivation by several times.

When the price reached this point, the amount of those that could compete for it decreased. However, everyone knew that the real crocodiles would appear next.

“9500.”

An indolent and flirtatious voice rang out. When that voice resounded, nearly everyone had turned their heads towards a pavilion up ahead. The tulle was split apart, and a bewitching face was revealed.

“It’s the Heart Fairy Fox of the Celestial Fox Sect.”

“So she’s actually interested in this Void Great Solar Fruit.”

Looking at her bewitching beauty, whispers started to spread out in the auction house, they must have all heard the name of this enchanting lady before them.

After the price was raised by the enchanting lady called Heart Fairy Fox, the auction house suddenly turned quiet. Even many of the experts that were willing to bid for it had remained in silence. Clearly, they didn’t want to offend this lady from the Celestial Fox Sect.

At the sight of this, Mu Chen helplessly sighed in his heart as he said in a loud voice, “10,000.”

His bid instantly cause a commotion in the auction house as many gazes of shock were shot over. They were all trying to guess Mu Chen’s origin; after all, not just anyone can take out 10,000 Sovereign Spiritual Liquids so casually.

Under the innumerable astonished gazes, Mu Chen maintained a calm expression as he stared at the Void Great Solar Fruit on the auction platform, and did not bother about anyone else.

In the pavilion, Heart Fairy Fox lightly shifted her alluring gaze at Mu Chen as a trace of shock was revealed in her eyes.

Mu Chen sensed her gaze as he turned his head over and gave her an apologetic smile.

Heart Fairy Fox returned with an alluring smile as her eyes flickered. No one knew that she was thinking. But looking from her actions, she actually did not have any thoughts on increasing the price.

“Haha, since Heart Fairy Fox isn’t too interested in the Void Great Solar Fruit, then let me have it.” When Heart Fairy Fox was silent, laughter came from a pavilion not too far away. The feminine-looking youth from before walked out as he cupped his hands towards Heart Fairy Fox with a smile.

“Haha, my wealth is thin, so I can’t compete for it with everyone. If Young Palace Master of the Sky Profound Palace is interested in it, then I’ll have myself withdraw.” Heart Fairy Fox pursed her lips with a slight smile when he saw the feminine-looking youth.

The feminine-looking youth elegantly bowed as he shifted his gaze over to Mu Chen’s direction with a smile hanging on his face, “11,000.”

Mu Chen’s brows instantly frowned from the appearance of this feminine-looking youth.

“That bastard is truly hateful.” Lin Jing couldn’t help snorting out for Mu Chen. Because that feminine-looking youth had ideas about her, she was filled with hatred for that person. Now that he was trying to ruin Mu Chen’s matters, she couldn’t help having rage written on her face.

“Mu Chen, call out all you want! Although I don’t have any Sovereign Spiritual Liquids on me, I have many things that can be sold.” Lin Jing clenched her teeth as she spoke with hatred.

“No worries, I’ll play with him since he wants to play.”

Mu Chen had a calm smile on his face, but there was a smear of cold killing intent in his eyes. Although this feminine-looking youth had a significant position in the Sky Profound Palace, he refused to believe that this fellow could casually take out tens of thousands of Sovereign Spiritual Liquids to smash him.

Sovereign Spiritual Liquids wasn’t water!

But, no matter what, he had to get his hands on the Void Great Solar Fruit.

“12,000.” Mu Chen leaned on the chair as his calm voice resonated throughout the large auction house, causing many people to inwardly smack their lips, they also had strange gazes. They must have treated Mu Chen as a disciple of a particular sect.

On the pavilion, the feminine-looking youth narrowed his eyes as a chill flashed across the depths of his eyes. Mu Chen’s interference earlier had already aroused displeasure in his heart. How could he not see that Mu Chen and the white-clothed girl weren’t too close?

Furthermore, that fellow had just stepped into the Sovereign Realm. If it weren’t for that black-clothed beauty beside him, he would have long thrown that fellow out. But right now, he was taking an inch and wanting a foot, competing with him.

“Young Palace Master, your motive here in the Merchant City isn’t for the Void Great Solar Fruit.” Just when the feminine-youth was about to increase his bid again, the black-clothed elderly man abruptly spoke out.

“I know.” The feminine-looking youth had his brows knitted, and he still continued to wave his hand out along with his voice, “13,000!”

“I want to see how this impudent fellow that comes from nowhere acts!” The smear of a cold smile rose on the lips of this feminine-looking youth. From his point-of-view, Mu Chen was just faking it.

“15,000.”

However, before his voice stopped echoing, Mu Chen calmly raised the price again. Furthermore, he increased it at a shocking increment of 2000 Sovereign Spiritual Liquids.

Such a colossal sum instantly caused a commotion in the entire auction. Even the Heart Fairy Fox was looking at Mu Chen in astonishment. The wealth and temperament of that youth aren’t ordinary.

The feminine-looking youth’s face was a little ashened as his gaze turned sharp. He was looking at Mu Chen with an eerie gaze. The latter was still looking at the Void Great Solar Fruit that was on the auction platform and had not given him a single glance.

The corner of the lips of that feminine-looking youth twitched as he suppressed the killing intent in his heart, and was about to bid again.

“Young Palace Master!” The black-clothed elderly man spoke out in a solemn voice with his brows twitched.

The feminine-looking youth clenched both his fists and teeth, and could only suppress the voice that was about to come out from his mouth. However, his gaze was frighteningly eerie as he spoke out in a cold voice, “Elder Mu, remember that fellow. Items that belong to me aren’t things that are so easily snatched by someone else.”

The black-clothed elder lightly nodded his head as a faint arc rose on the corner of his lips, “Rest assured, Young Palace Master. Just treat it as him spending that huge amount of Sovereign Spiritual Liquids to buy the Void Great Solar Fruit for you.”

The ugly expression on the feminine-looking youth eased a little bit as he eerily smiled and did not speak anymore.

When Mu Chen raised the price to 15,000 Sovereign Spiritual Liquids, there was no one fighting with him anymore, since they were probably all awed by his resolution. After a short time waiting, the Void Great Solar Fruit was successfully purchased by Mu Chen, in the end.

When Mo Qing announced the bidding results, only then did Mu Chen feel relieved in his heart. But shortly after, he felt an eerie gaze directed at him. He turned his head and was also looking at the feminine-looking youth with a cold gaze.

If it wasn’t for that guy, Mu Chen clearly wouldn't need to raise the price to that height. If that’s the case, he would still have had enough energy to compete for the Undying Divine Lead. But now that he had spent such a significant amount of Sovereign Spiritual Liquids, he would apparently be a little helpless in seizing the Undying Divine Lead.

“That fellow has roused killing intent for you.” A flash of chill blinked across Nine Nether’s slender eyes as she suddenly said that.

Mu Chen lightly nodded his head.

Although that black-clothed elderly man had the strength of a Fifth Grade Sovereign Realm, it wasn’t an easy task for him to defeat Nine Nether. After all, she was a genuine Divine Beast.

As for the youth, he should still be at First Grade Sovereign Realm, and if they were to fight, Mu Chen wouldn’t fear him.

Thoughts circulated in Mu Chen’s heart before he calmed down and looked at the auction platform. Right now, Master Mo Qing had already taken out the ninth item for auction.

But as he had expected, the ninth item for auction was the last material he needed to cultivate the Great Solar Undying Body.

The Undying Divine Leaf.
