Chapter 1831 - Mister Godcliff’s Goal (1/2)
“This is troublesome! The wealth the Fairy Tianchu, Luo Ji could mobilize is not something we can compare. Fairy Lian Xi, why not just give the fragment of the Supreme Sacred Artifact to her?” The Drifter said.
The Wayfarer added, “Our goal is the Eastern Region Saint King manor. We do not need any more complications at this juncture.”
Fairy Lian Xi did not intend to stop and continued to bid. “3.5 billion Saint Stones.”
“Four billion Saint Stones,” Fairy Tianchu called.
“Five billion Saint Stones.”
…
It was just a fragment of a Supreme Sacred Artifact, and the price had been raised at a frenzied level by these two scions of heaven to over 8 billion Saint Stones.
Most of the cultivators in the Tianjue Pavilion were already dumbfounded.
“Spending 8 billion Saint Stones for a fragment, are they insane?”
“With so many Saint Stones, if I were to purchase resources for cultivation, it will be more than enough to speed up my cultivation progress by leaps and bounds, and in reach the rank of a Nine-step Saint King in a short period of time.”
Inside the private room, Xiang Chunan’s eyes lit up as a burning crimson brilliance emitted from his eyes as he said, “Big Brother, how about we go and rob them, we will definitely make a fortune.”
“Among the Saint King cultivators, who would bring so much Saint Stones on their person? I’m guessing both King Daxi and Fairy Tianchu would need to mobilize the Soul Realm and the Tianchu Civilization in order to get such a huge amount of Saint Stones,” Zhang Ruochen said.
Zhang Ruochen knew why Fairy Tianchu did not hesitate the astronomical cost to purchase the tortoisesh.e.l.l fragment. It was because she had seen Awesome the Little Taoist’s Purple-Gold Bagua Mirror.
Now, King Daxi, Jueyan Hu, and Xie Canghai, all these ancient monsters were very close. For Fairy Tianchu to go up against her, even if she wins the bid, and gets the tortoisesh.e.l.l fragment, she would suffer revenge attacks.
At this moment, Fairy Tianchu called another astronomical raise in the bid. “Ten billion Saint Stones.”
As soon as the bid was raised, Fairy Lian Xi fell silent, and a moment later, she softly said, “Since you are so persistent, Fairy Tianchu, I’ll give this fragment to you!”
Fairy Tianchu did not speak, and she waited until Zi Lan on the sacred jade platform called out “Sold”. The Butcher, who was behind Fairy Tianchu, went straight to negotiate with the manager of Tianjue Pavilion. It was clear that they were discussing the terms of payment.
Fairy Tianchu was taken by a steward of Tianjue Pavilion to a private room on the fourth floor.
Luo Yi said, “Brother Ruochen, the situation in Tianjue Pavilion now is very complicated, and there might be a ma.s.sive conflict that will spiral beyond control erupting here. It’s better for us to leave now.”
Zhang Ruochen pondered for a moment before he said, “All of you leave first, I have something to do, and need to wait.”
“No, the Teleportation Array Your highness had inscribed is one-use only. If we leave now, how would you leave?” Murong Yue said.
Zhang Ruochen replied, “If I want to leave, aside from a Supreme Saint, there are not many who can keep me behind.”
“How about that Array Master? The means available to an Array Master is not something we could imagine. Your Highness, let’s go, what are you staying behind for? Is it to s.n.a.t.c.h the Tears of the Void and the tortoisesh.e.l.l fragment? We can always find other ways.” Murong Yue was quite worried about Zhang Ruochen’s safety.
Luo Yi added, “I think Miss Murong’s words are reasonable. Jueyan Hu and his ilk are very powerful. They are not people we can contend with. They probably already know that the G.o.d Stone on Kong Hongbi had already fallen into our hands. If chaos were to erupt in Tianjue Pavilion, we are bound to be attacked. When that time comes, can we withstand the attacks?”
The suspended sacred jade platform started to auction the next treasure.
Zhang Ruochen demurred for a moment before saying, “Wait for me in the room first. I’ll meet that Fairy Tianchu. If there’s chaos, don’t need to wait for me, activate the teleportation array, and leave.”
Immediately after, despite Murong Yue and the others trying to dissuade him, Zhang Ruochen walked to the private room on the fourth floor.
“I have long been admiring of Fairy Tianchu’s name, and am here to visit with hopes to speak to the Fairy,” Zhang Ruochen said.
The gaze of many cultivators in Tianjue Pavilion cast their eyes on the fourth floor of the private room.
“Everyone, take a guess if that arrogant b.a.s.t.a.r.d has fallen head over heels over the fairy’s absolute beauty, and so he paid her a visit for the tortoisesh.e.l.l fragment?” a cultivator said jokingly.
“Whatever the reason, it is absolutely impossible for Fairy Tianchu to want to see him.”
“Fairy Tianchu does not bother herself with worldly matters, and is extremely pure, how would she agree to meet an arrogant fellow like that guy?”
“In the past, when Divine Scion s.h.i.+qing pursued Fairy Tianchu and used a heaven-grade sacred pill, the Kunxu Pill as a meeting gift, he did not even get an opportunity to see how she looked like.”
…
As the crowd gossiped, the door of the private room on the fourth floor opened.
The Butcher walked out and smiled at Zhang Ruochen as he said, “The Fairy invites you.”
Amidst the stunned looks in the eyes of the cultivators present, Zhang Ruochen walked into the private room.
Immediately after, something even more shocking happened, the Butcher and the Fool who had been following Fairy Tianchu actually walked out of the room and stood guard on both sides of the door.
