Chapter 423: Divine Remains

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma TranslationsThe Divine level spinal bone on the stage was something which a small group of grave robbers had gotten from a graveyard. Thereafter, they had sold it to Hildebrand, the leader of the Great Western City’s underground influence.

When Hildebrand first saw this Divine level spinal bone, he had been extremely excited. However, after countless attempts, he discovered that the Divine level intent had already disappeared. What it now contained was a different consciousness which was extremely evil. Upon contact, one would be attacked, and the prowess of the consciousness would not lose out to that of a Divine level expert.

Unless a Divine level expert took action, it was impossible for it to be forged into a weapon.

Additionally, the cost of getting a Divine level expert to help drive out the evil consciousness in it was far too high. The losses would outweigh the gains. Therefore, he decided to just put it up for auction and pass on the headache to whoever bought it.

When Fang Xingjian saw the Divine level spinal bone on the stage, he revealed an interested gaze. If it was said that the previous items he had bidded for were all things which he had casually bought, then this Divine level spinal bone had really aroused his interest.

Lilia, who was seated on his lap, shifted her hips a little and said, “Teacher, you’re thinking of buying this Divine level spinal bone?”

Fang Xingjian nodded as his eyes were fixed on the spinal bone on the stage. He said, “Mmm, it’ll be best if I can make a longsword from this Divine level spinal bone.”

Just then, Hoult took the chance to call out the first bid, “One million gold!”

The highest bid of the night had appeared, instantly extinguishing the intention of most people who had wanted to bid.

However, it was not as if no one else was bidding for it. Tynon stared intensely at the Divine level spinal bone and bidded, “1.1 million gold.” After winning the items from the auction earlier, he was still left with 1.8 million gold. His plan was to get his hands on the Divine level spinal bone even if he had to spend all of the 1.8 million gold he had.

Hoult stood up as well, clenching his fists as he looked at the Divine level spinal bone. As a student under the teachings of a Divine level expert, he was a person who had actual contact with a true Divine level expert. So, out of everyone present, he probably knew best how great the prowess of a Divine Remains Equipment made from the spinal bone of a Divine level expert would be.

Hearing Tynon’s bid, he immediately said, “1.2 million gold!”

However, Hoult had only just said this and before his attendant had even called out the bid, a cold voice rang out from private room number one, “Three million gold.” It was the voice of the attendant from private room number one.

Three million gold… This was a sum which was even greater than the combined price off all the earlier auction items. Such a terrifying sum of money was like a great and heavy mountain, smashing down on Hoult and making him unable to gather up a will to resist.

Hoult let out a breath and said, “To be able to spend so much money at once… It would have to be either Xiao Tianxia or Odysseus.”

Miley said, “Don’t forget, there’s still Fang Xingjian.”

Hoult frowned. “His money shouldn’t be in that quickly, right?”

“That’s hard to say.” Miley shook her head. “I heard from my father that the archbishop has agreed to all of Fang Xingjian’s requests, so it isn’t impossible for the money to be remitted to his account quickly.

“Do you think it’s true that Fang Xingjian has some relations with the Church of Universal Truth? First it was Lord Holy Orison, then it’s the archbishop… To think that everyone’s standing on his side.”

Hoult shook his head and casted a yearning look toward the Divine level spinal bone while saying, “Who knows.”

In another private room, Tynon clenched his teeth and stared viciously with wide-open eyes in the direction of private room number one. ‘You! It’s you again! Who on earth is in private room number one?! Don’t let me find out…’

However, in the auction hall, it was impossible for Tynon to take action.

Therefore, he could only look upon this scene with a crestfallen expression. The moment the auction was over, he headed in the direction of private room number one but was told that the other party had already left.

He punched the wall angrily, smashing a small hole into it. Just then, he saw Hildebrand walk over.
