Chapter 97: Intense Bidding
"Oh? Interesting." Seeing the list of immortal materials given by Fang Yuan, Feng Jiu Ge's gaze shined as he restored his calm.
The Eastern Sea Gu Immortal's expression was like it had never changed, he sat on the chair with a disposition of being in control, he asked Murong Jin Xiao beside him: "How many refinement path grandmasters are there in Northern Plains?"
Murong Jin Xiao replied without thinking: "There are four major refinement path grandmasters in Northern Plains. The greatest one is Yao tribe's rank eight Gu Immortal, Yao Huang, rumors say that his refinement path attainment has exceeded grandmaster and perhaps is even quasi-great grandmaster level.
The second is a Gu Immortal of my Murong tribe, Murong Xue Xiang, she had once refined a snow path Immortal Gu successfully. The third is the second leader of Snowy Mountain, Lady Wan Shou, she has refined Gu for many demonic path Gu Immortals. The fourth is a lone cultivator, she is called Lady Miao Li, she is skilled at refining enslavement path Gu worms."
"The Gu Immortal in the tenth secret room is not simple."
"By asking for so many Gu refinement materials, even if this is an exorbitant amount, one can see his ambition and unique characteristics!"
In the main hall, after the Gu Immortals regained their senses, they realized this.
"Right now, this situation has become interesting. Both buyers are quite the characters, they have ample purchasing power. The seller is not to be underestimated either, he has a mysterious background, he is simply unfathomable." Qin Bai Sheng watched with anticipation as he thought about this.
"Immortal zombie Sha Huang, he might look ordinary but he may possibly have a rank eight monster backing him up. And this rank eight great expert is skilled in refining Gu. I'm afraid Fairy Li Shan knows this as well. Otherwise, why would he, a mere rank six immortal zombie, be so close to the third leader of Snowy Mountain?"
Qin Bai Sheng was making a guess.
"In that case, I will add in a hundred and fifty pieces of thunder sound leaves." After a bit of silence, Feng Jiu Ge was the first to speak.
"Hehehe." The Eastern Sea Gu Immortal laughed: "Is Prince Feng Xian so petty? This list clearly states that the seller wants two hundred and eighty thunder sound leaves."
After pausing for a while, the Eastern Sea Gu Immortal shouted: "I have three hundred and sixty heaven flying jades!"
In the single room, Feng Jiu Ge snorted, his expression turned solemn.
The other party's actions made him realize, they were determined to get worldly wave trace Immortal Gu.
Feng Jiu Ge did not hesitate, he continued: "I'll add ten thousand pieces of star pupils."
The Eastern Sea Gu Immortal heard Feng Jiu Ge's offer and his breathing stopped for a moment. Honestly speaking, he did not expect that he would attract a fiercer counterattack, an even stronger backlash.
"Although there are a lot of star pupils, I must remind the seller. Star pupils, after all, vary in quality, a fragmented star pupil and an intact star pupil have very different value." The Eastern Sea Gu Immortal said.
"You've said so much, but can you actually make a new offer. If not, I have a lot more here." Feng Jiu Ge smiled coldly, he continued his attack, mentioning region sand, sun salt, star galaxy wind, plain fire, and three other immortal materials, although the amount did not fill up the list, the variety was enough to be shocking.
Feng Jiu Ge's offer gave the Eastern Sea Gu Immortal in the first secret room a reminder.
"That's right, the seller can take out such a list, they definitely cultivate refinement path. Refining Gu requires a large variety of materials, a large quantity of one material is not enough. The other party is making such an offer to attract them, I need to change my tactics as well." The Eastern Sea Gu Immortal thought about it before shouting again.
He competed with Feng Jiu Ge, offering huge amounts of immortal materials, this made the Gu Immortals present listen with dazed expressions, like they were dreaming.
After a few rounds, be it Feng Jiu Ge or the Eastern Sea Gu Immortal, they started breathing roughly.
"I'll offer five kilograms of drunk immortal qi!" At one side, the Eastern Sea Gu Immortal had made another offer.
Feng Jiu Ge was hesitant, if he made an offer again, he would need to provide value equivalent to five kilograms of drunk immortal qi.
He calmed down and thought about it, asking himself: "For solely worldly wave trace Immortal Gu, is such a price worth it or not?"
Of course it was worth it!
For Water Pavilion, Spirit Affinity House had put up detailed missions, recovering each of the core Immortal Gu would have an immense reward!
"In that case, so be it!" Feng Jiu Ge thought about it rapidly, after making up his mind, he took out another Immortal Gu while gritting his teeth.
"This is the strength path Immortal Gu, Pulling Water." He reported.
Qin Bai Sheng, was a bit stunned, he asked: "Exchanging two for one, is that what you mean, Fairy You Lan?"
"That is the case." Feng Jiu Ge made the decision already, he had no more hesitations.
At this time Fang Yuan informed Qin Bai Sheng of his decision.
Qin Bai Sheng nodded, announcing publicly: "The seller has decided, they will sell worldly wave trace Immortal Gu to Fairy You Lan!"
"Prince Feng Xian…" The Eastern Sea Gu Immortal muttered this name as his expression turned slightly dark.
A mainstream path Immortal Gu was rapidly sold after several rounds of bidding, the quick deal gave people a relatively boring feeling.
Towards this, Qin Bai Sheng was helpless, he could only smile bitterly.
"This is worldly wave trace Immortal Gu… after so many years, it is finally back in Spirit Affinity House's hands." Feng Jiu Ge sighed softly, he felt some emotions.
As Immortal Gu were auctioned off one by one, as time passed, the atmosphere of the auction hall became heated once again.
"Next is the thirty-fourth auction item, strength path Immortal Gu — Cauldron Strength, this is a rare strength path defensive Immortal Gu. Once activated, it can create a strength cauldron, protecting oneself. The seller wants a wisdom path Immortal Gu." Qin Bai Sheng said.
Just as the owner of cauldron strength Immortal Gu was anxious, a hoarse and unique voice came from a single room: "Wisdom path Immortal Gu Loving Affection."
"This voice, it's Domination Immortal Chu Du!" Immediately, someone in the hall shouted.
"Domination Immortal Chu Du…" In a single room, Feng Jiu Ge drank his tea as his eyes shined.
At this time, a voice echoed: " Delight in water and mountain Immortal Gu, and five thousand kilograms of cloud soil."
Guh.
Feng Jiu Ge spat out the tea in his mouth, his eyes stared widely as he lost his calm.
"Delight in water and mountain Immortal Gu!" He shouted: "Damn it, my worry came true."
"One heaven pillar wind." Facing Fang Yuan's competition, Domination Immortal Chu Du raised his offer.
"The tenth secret room bids an intact skeleton of a sky dragon, along with one thousand five hundred grams of fury powder." Qin Bai Sheng stood on the platform and shouted loudly.
Chu Du frowned.
"This is a strong foe." Chu Du sighed inwardly.
Chu Du thought of this, and gritted his teeth as he continued to bid.
However, no matter how much he added, Fang Yuan also kept on adding.
Several rounds later, Chu Du finally could not persist with this and sent a message to Qin Bai Sheng secretly, wanting to communicate with the tenth secret room.
Qin Bai Sheng was surprised, but without any change in expression, he sent the message to Fang Yuan.
Which Fang Yuan rejected.
Fang Yuan increased his bid again, adding on rank seven immortal materials, which could act as the main refinement material to refine a rank seven Immortal Gu, their value was very high.
Chu Du sighed but still was not resigned to giving up, as he again added bits and pieces from here and there, bidding many rank six immortal materials. The overall price was similar to Fang Yuan's rank seven immortal materials.
Chu Du was feeling anxious, but there was someone else who was more anxious - Feng Jiu Ge.
"This Domination Immortal also cannot handle the situation!" Feng Jiu Ge felt disappointment. He had been hoping Chu Du could pressure the tenth secret room with his might and overwhelm them to achieve victory.
"Worldly Wave Trace and Delight in Water and Mountain, these two Immortal Gu both belong to the Gu Immortal in the tenth secret room. This person is mysterious and seems to have a major origin, it is even possible that they are the main culprit of the Imperial Court case. I know them, but they don't know about me, the enemy is in the open while I am in the dark right now.
It won't be appropriate if I directly buy Delight in Water and Mountain from him or her. Not to mention the chance of inadvertently alerting them, if they infer some clues and decide to not sell the Immortal Gu, that would be anything but good."
Feng Jiu Ge kept on thinking.
"If I directly interfere and participate in the bidding, that would be inappropriate as well! I am under the identity of Swordmaster You Lan, but I have already bought Worldly Wave Trace, if I openly buy Delight in Water and Mountain again, in the case that the person in the tenth secret room knows of the secret of Water Pavilion, the possibility of exposing myself increases greatly."
"The most troublesome thing is even if someone outbids others in this auction, if the seller does not choose them, it would still be a failure. Even if I interfere and suppress others, there won't be much significance."
Feng Jiu Ge's mouth dried, he took a sip of tea while having a regretful feeling in his heart: "If I was not alone and had someone to help me, it would be much simpler to deal with this problem."
With these thoughts in mind, Feng Jiu Ge made the decision and quietly got in contact with Domination Immortal Chu Du.
Chu Du felt strange as he received Swordmaster You Lan's letter. He was fairly close to Yao Huang, but he had only met Prince Feng Xian once.
In the letter, Feng Jiu Ge said he was willing to fund Chu Du to help him win cauldron strength Immortal Gu. However, he made a request, saying that he hoped Chu Du could sell the immortal material, true heaven silver.
"It seems that there is some value for the injuries I had in the exploration of white heaven. I obtained three hundred kilograms of true heaven silver, which is extremely rare even in treasure yellow heaven! With Swordmaster You Lan's help, I can still compete!" Chu Du naturally was somewhat doubtful of Feng Jiu Ge's true intentions.
Chu Du immediately replied to Feng Jiu Ge, thanking the other party for the help and also stating that after this event, he would give detailed information on the exact location of true heaven silver.
With Feng Jiu Ge's help, Chu Du gained confidence and made a bid again.
The bidding price continued to increase higher and higher.
After using up the immortal materials from Lang Ya blessed land, Fang Yuan had no choice but to start bidding with the immortal materials he had obtained earlier.
Feng Jiu Ge could not help but feel vexed.
These immortal materials had been his previously. He had not thought that after taking them out, they would be used against him so quickly.
"I must have this cauldron strength Immortal Gu!" Fang Yuan suddenly shouted, making an empty show of power, "Whatever the seller wants, speak, I will do my best to satisfy it."
"The same goes for me, whatever the seller wants, please speak." Chu Du was silent for a moment before he followed suit, showing no weakness.
The seller did not think for long, immediately speaking of a new requirement — a wisdom path inheritance.
Chu Du gave a bitter smile when he heard this request, where would he find a wisdom path inheritance.
Feng Jiu Ge also gave a bitter smile, he had many Immortal Gu with him, but the seller's request of a wisdom path inheritance caused things to be awkward for him.
For a while, Fang Yuan and Chu Du went silent.
