Just as Wang Baole was calculating in his heart and regretting the loss of 15 million red crystals, the eyes of the other geniuses on the boat flickered, and they immediately began to speak one after another.
"Fellow cultivator Xie, I'm also willing to buy a Soul Spiritual Fruit for three million red crystals!"
"Fellow cultivator of the continent, I'll pay you three and a half million Spirit Stones. Indeed, only the first fruit is fully effective. The rest of the fruits are almost useless. Moreover, you've eaten a lot of them. Sell them to me!"
"Four million. Fellow cultivator Xie, the price I offered is already a sky-high price. Although I don't have enough Red Crystals on me, I can use a Dharma artifact as collateral!"
The others spoke successively, causing Wang Baole to feel even more regret in his heart. Thus, after he sighed, Wang Baole's eyes slowly narrowed. Even though someone had bid 4,000,000, Wang Baole felt that even though the masked woman was icy cold as before from the beginning until the end, she hadn't participated in the ridicule and didn't conceal anything. At the same time that he had a good impression of her, he understood very clearly that he was still slightly weak on this vessel, or perhaps in the Graveyard of Stars that he was about to head to.
'To me, 4,000,000 or 3,000,000 is a huge amount of wealth. There's no need for me to be so greedy …' When he thought of this, a strange light appeared in Wang Baole's eyes. With a wave of his right hand, he swept up the only remaining Soul Spirit Fruit on the altar and threw it to the masked woman. To avoid any misunderstandings, he spoke at the same time.
"First come, first served. I'm from the Xie family, so I have principles!"
Almost as soon as Wang Baole pulled out the Soul Spirit Fruit and spoke, the masked woman's body blurred. Before anyone else could make a move to snatch it, she appeared outside the altar. She lifted her right hand and grabbed the Soul Spirit Fruit that Wang Baole had pulled out.
Holding the fruit, the masked woman lifted her head and stared deeply at Wang Baole. The coldness in her eyes lessened significantly. She nodded slightly and, ignoring the greedy gazes of the people around her, returned to where she was meditating and swallowed the fruit in one gulp.
"Everyone, the fruit in my hand has been bitten by me, and the skin is a little broken … If you don't mind, let's auction the last fruit. The highest bidder wins!" Wang Baole coughed and drew everyone's attention. He raised the Soul Spirit Fruit in his hand, which had his teeth marks on it.
The surrounding Chosen looked at the Soul Spirit Fruit in his hand, and despite the obvious bite marks on its surface, their eyes burned with passion. After a moment of silence, the voices of bids could be heard.
The price soared, going from three million to five million. Wang Baole shuddered as he watched. The wealth had come too suddenly, and he was caught off guard.
However, this did not mean that those heaven's prides were fools with too much money. In fact, to them, as the heaven's prides of their respective clans and forces, the fact that they were qualified to participate in the Meteor Fall this time already showed that they had high hopes placed on them. To them, as long as the wealth was not too exaggerated, they could accept it.
Furthermore, as far as they were concerned, any opportunity or precious material that could be purchased was worth it as long as it was useful to them. That was especially true of the Soul Spirit Fruit, which not only increased their chances of reaching the Planet realm, it also increased their chances of fusing with Immortal planets, or even unique planets. Therefore, how could they possibly fall behind?
After a round of bidding, the Soul Spirit Fruit with Wang Baole's teeth marks was purchased by Li Linzi …. The price he had offered was so high that it bordered on ridiculous.
"Nine million!!!" Roared Li Linzi. His eyes were bloodshot. Worried that Wang Baole wouldn't sell it to him, he simply offered an astronomical price.
When the others heard the price, they couldn't help but gasp and hesitate. In the end, they fell silent.
Seeing this, Wang Baole's eyes lit up. In fact, Li Linzi was overthinking things. If he had offered an ordinary price, it would have been fine. However, Wang Baole was completely moved by this price.
"This bunch of people is so damn rich!" Wang Baole suddenly felt energized. He realized that perhaps his fortune on this trip to the Fallen Star wasn't to obtain a good Planet to fuse with, but … to make a huge fortune here!
With that thought, Wang Baole noticed that no one else was speaking. He was about to nod his head when he remembered that he was, after all, a person of status. Therefore, he coughed and pretended to be nonchalant about money as if it were nothing, waving his hand nonchalantly.
"Since there are no more bids, I'll sell it to you."
Li Linzi was nervous but also excited. However, he still felt aggrieved, but he had to suppress it at this moment. He quickly handed over three red crystal cards and completed the transaction with Wang Baole.
When he received the Soul Spirit Fruit, he ignored the teeth marks on it and swallowed it in one gulp. Then, he sat down cross-legged and immediately meditated. Although some people had said that Wang Baole was recklessly wasting a precious treasure, it was more out of jealousy. If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn't have refined it into a pill and would have swallowed it directly. After all, it was only truly yours after you ate it.
He easily earned twelve million red crystals. Holding such a large amount of wealth that he had never and never even dreamed of having, Wang Baole's head was a little dizzy. After a long while, he recovered, and his eyes hid a fanatical light.
"I want to go to the Xie family market and buy twenty Nine Heavens Thunder Spirits!"
"I want to buy twenty catties of Heavenly Water Cloud River!"
"I also want to buy that Spirit Boat of Heaven and Earth, which is worth millions!"
When he thought about it this way, while he was excited, he suddenly felt that ten million didn't seem like a lot … So, he quickly looked around the altar. When he found that there was nothing to sell, he looked around again.
"There's nothing left …." When he was sure that there was nothing on the boat that he could sell, Wang Baole sighed regretfully. He was just about to leave the altar when suddenly, Wang Baole saw a familiar bright light appear in the distant sky, which looked like an oil painting.
"That's …." Wang Baole's eyes went wide. The bright light instantly reached a blinding level, and it whistled through the air toward the Specter Boat.
It moved with incredible speed, and before anyone could sense what was happening, it transformed into a gigantic lightning bolt, fully nine meters long, that slammed into the Specter Boat!
A huge boom filled the air. Although the Specter Boat was unharmed, everyone on board was shaken. Even the masked woman's eyes went wide with vigilance, as did everyone else.
"An enemy attack?"
"How could there be lightning all of a sudden!?"
"The size of that lightning is comparable to Heavenly Tribulation!!"
Although everyone was shocked, they didn't notice that although Wang Baole's expression was one of shock, his eyes were flickering with a guilty conscience.
No one else knew why the lightning had appeared, but Wang Baole already knew the answer. It was a side effect of the wishing bottle, and it was even more terrifying than before. That was especially true when he thought about how the Specter Boat had been traveling at incredible speed, and yet the lightning had still managed to catch up to it. From that, it could be seen how shockingly fast the lightning was.
The sheer size of the lightning caused Wang Baole to feel a bit nervous. Based on his experience, he knew that more lightning bolts like this would appear in the future.
"I'm sure the Specter Boat can stand up to them!" Wang Baole hurriedly consoled himself. He was even more worried about being discovered. Therefore, he immediately put on the same expression as the others. However, just as he was consoling himself, in the next moment, a second bolt of lightning came crashing down, followed by a third, fourth, and fifth …
In a short period of time, dozens of bright lightning bolts appeared in the starry sky. But that wasn't the end. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of lightning bolts appeared, rumbling toward the Specter Boat.
All of the Chosen on the boat were astonished, except for the paper man rowing the boat. His expression and actions were the same as ever, and he allowed the hundreds of lightning bolts to descend. Despite the massive booms, the Specter Boat wasn't affected at all, except for a slight tremor.
Wang Baole breathed a sigh of relief, and a sense of pride welled up in his heart. He thought to himself, 'Daddy is so smart. With this invincible Specter Boat, no matter how powerful the side effect of the tiny wishing bottle is, it won't be able to do anything to me.'
However, he wasn't sure if his thoughts had angered the lightning, but in the next moment, the starry sky around them suddenly lit up. If one were to stand at a vantage point and look down, they would see that the starry sky around the speeding Specter Boat was rumbling, forming a sea of lightning the size of an entire civilization!
Countless bolts of lightning turned crimson in color. They were like raging red pythons that surged toward the Specter Boat from all directions with the force of toppling mountains and overturning seas!
All of the Chosen on the boat, including Wang Baole, were shocked. Even the paper man rowing the boat, whose face had always been expressionless, twitched, and the hand holding the paper oar paused for a moment.
