Vol 27 Chapter 16 (2/2)

But of course, those alked the Dao of Water or the Dao of Metal would never procure fire-attribute bodies That would make it twice as hard to cultivate, with half the effect The fire-attribute body would disrupt their affinity to those Daos

“That kid, Swordlord Darknorth, plans to sell it off within a hundred years? He’s probably doing this to prepare for the upco opportunity Heh heh… fellow Daoists, there’s no need for us to bid up the price tooto sell it no matter what Let’s keep the price low” Instantly, some Daolords came up with this idea There were some Daolords in the Twelve Palaces alked the path of evil In fact, soh the lifeblood oath prevented the, they were still able to do so like lowball him for his treasures

“The highest bid stands at 13 million cubes!” Pillsaint made this claim within an Immortal estate within the Sword Palace

“What?” The oldan aura of explosive, ruinous energy “Who h bid?”

“I can’t reveal that,” Pillsaint said placidly “If your bid isn’t any higher than this, there’s no point in even bidding”

“You punk” The old man was irritated He turned away and departed

“Pillsaint” Su Youji watched the old e “You lied to hiher price? We’ll be in trouble”

“Don’t worry” Pillsaint was quite confident

Pillsaint and Su Youji had both noticed that the Daolords were in no rush to place any bids Ning had given a liet the price too high, too early In fact, so in secret to keep the price low

Half a year later, the old man returned

“I’ to bid 131 million cubes,” the old man said

“The highest price is now 133 million cubes,” Pillsaint said, his eyes wide and innocent

“Ah?!” The old man was stunned

Pillsaint continued to raise the price 133 million cubes, 135 million cubes, 136 million cubes, 137 million cubes… every half a year or year, the price would rise slightly

Faced with the continuously rising price, sorow a bit impatient

“Who the hell keeps upping their bids?”

“Why are the bids continuing to rise?”

They were able to keep calm when the price was steady, but this constant rise made some of them a bit impatient

Pillsaint secretly felt quite s with I’ pills, I’ the pills and treasures as well, and there was always a bit of artifice built into the prices Many of the ‘bids’ for the fruit were false, but Pillsaint did e to lure in a few real bids as well

A hundred years passed in the blink of an eye

“The highest price is now 146 million cubes! This is the final year,” Pillsaint declared “My master will return from the Forest of Sword PaGodas anytime now When he does return, the auction will cohest bidder in the Bloodfire Cloudfruit”

“What? The auction will end as soon as his master leaves the Forest?”

“This is the final year Swordlord Darknorth ht return at any moment”

Even the er able to hold on Once Ji Ning returned, they would have ood They didn’t believe that Pillsaint was lying, because no one would dare lie to sotime of an auction

“I’ to offer 147 million cubes”

“I’ll offer 148 million”

“15 million”

In the final year, the bids increased very rapidly Soained this treasure, more than 99 of the other Daolords would be unable to catch up to thee-level Daolords would be able to fly as quickly as Chaos fire or Chaos lightning! Only those who had techniques allowing the would the exceptions Once this opportunity went past, who kne long it would be before the next opportunity? Even if another opportunity did arise, it was entirely possible that they wouldn’t even have a chance to bid on it The Endless Territories were si probably would’ve been sold already

Pillsaint went so far as to run over to the Forest of Sword PaGodas to send Ning a secret e “Master, don’t be in a rush to return Give me another half year Come back then”

“Alright” Ning trusted them

Some of the Daolords truly did need this treasure, and ti treasure was gone, it would be eons before anothing one appeared The bidding process became noticeably fiercer

Ning finally eed from the Forest of Sword PaGodas

“How did it go?” Ning descended from the skies into the Immortal estate where Su Youji and Pillsaint were located

“18 million cubes,” Pillsaint said proudly

“What?!” Ning was quite surprised If he sold it to a hly a million cubes If he was lucky and ainst each other, the price could be several tiher However, there weren’t ht now To be able to sell it for 18 ’s expectations He had thought that a price of 15 h
