Xia Fei did a recalculation of his funds. After deducting the sixty-five thousand grade 5 Origin Crystals from the Crimson Gold Flying Cicada Chrysalis, he still had nine hundred and thirty-five thousand left out of the one million he had earned. His Rock Bank account originally had ten thousand grade 5 Origin Crystals, and adding the other grade 4 Origin Crystals he had, Xia Fei had about ninety-eight in cash.
According to the rules, Xia Fei needed to pay at least 50% of the total price in cash for the Tree of Life, and the other 50% could be transferred to the Haotian Trading Company's account within three days. This was also a discount for the trading company's golden clients. Anyone else would have to pay in full immediately.
Aside from cash, Xia Fei still had some weapons that he could not bear to dispose of, such as the dark gold Ode of Hundred Spirits, the telepathic weapon Dragonscale Hectoslasher, and so on. These weapons were no longer as important to Xia Fei as they were in the past, and it would not affect him too much if he sold them if he needed them. Adding some high-value supplementary items, Xia Fei's total value should be around 1,050,000 grade 5 Origin Crystals.
Gritting his teeth, Xia Fei decided to set his highest bid at one million and use that as a limit.
"The starting bid for this Tree of Life is also fifty thousand Origin Crystals. Is there anyone here who is willing to pay fifty thousand grade 5 Origin Crystals to take away this precious Tree of Life!?" the auctioneer shouted.
"50,000!"
"60,000!"
"80,000!"
The price increased exponentially, and in just a short while, it had reached 600,000!
After all, this was the Tree of Life, a divine artifact that had given a warrior a second life. The competition this time was obviously much fiercer than before.
The price paused at 600,000 for a moment. At this price, no one would recklessly bid unless they were determined to get it.
Xia Fei lightly tapped his finger on the bidding machine and directly raised the price by 100,000! It reached 700,000 grade 5 Origin Crystals!
Whoa ~
The crowd immediately went wild. So far, no one had raised the price by 100,000 in one go! This was a sign of extreme confidence, or else no one would raise the price so crazily!
Everyone looked around, hoping to find the person who was willing to pay any price for the Tree of Life. Alas, there were too many people present, so they did not discover that Xia Fei, who was hiding in the dark, was the final bidder.
Crazily increasing the price was a psychological technique. When someone interested in the Tree of Life was faced with such intense competition, most would choose to give way. After all, Xia Fei's aura had already made it clear that price was never his first consideration.
Soon, someone made a bid of seven hundred and ten thousand, but unfortunately, Xia Fei raised the bid by another hundred thousand just as the bid appeared, pushing the final price to a staggering eight hundred and ten thousand!
Lou Fei's bid was very fast. He didn't give anyone any time to hesitate. Almost at the same time that person made his bid, he immediately killed him!
"Eight hundred fifty thousand!"
"Nine hundred fifty thousand!"
Once again, there was not even a second of pause. Xia Fei used his strength to stab all the opponents who intended to take away the Tree of Life!
Enemies that could not be seen were the most terrifying. Xia Fei was hiding in the shadows, unleashing a series of powerful moves, and his aura had long since reached an overwhelming advantage. If anyone wanted to continue competing, they would have to weigh their own pockets first.
At this time, luck came into play.
There was still one more item up for auction, and it was the most important item of the day. Everyone wanted to obtain it, and almost everyone was willing to give up on the Tree of Life and go all out for this ultimate item.
Did they not know how many people were eyeing this final item? Moreover, it was the last item, the last hope. No one had any hopes of getting lucky, and there was no longer any room for retreat. The intensity of the competition would probably surpass everyone's expectations. Xia Fei did not go for the last item but instead crazily bid on the Tree of Life, taking advantage of the wishful thinking of others.
* Pa! *
"Nine hundred and fifty thousand grade 5 Origin Crystals. Sold!" The curly-haired auctioneer made the final decision, and Xia Fei felt as if a large stone had been lifted from his heart. There was a limit to how much he could crazily raise the price. If someone really wanted to go head-on with Xia Fei, Xia Fei would have no choice but to give up. After all, his net worth was there for all to see.
The old demon lord said in surprise, "You didn't even bat an eye when bidding. You're truly very imposing."
Xia Fei shrugged. "This is just a bidding strategy. What I want is an overwhelming effect. Besides, spending nine hundred and fifty thousand for a life, do you think it's expensive or cheap?" Oro heartily laughed. "Cheap! It's too cheap! There's nothing that can compare to a life. These people will definitely regret this later. There are plenty of people who can afford this amount of money, but in the end, it was still you who got it. "
Xia Fei did not say anything. The right time and the right place were indispensable. If not for everyone's thirst for the last item and the desire to get lucky, he would not have been able to pick it up. Auctions were not just about money but also about the hearts of people.
Xia Fei had never imagined that the last item would be one of the Immemorial Mystical Armaments!
Immemorial Mystical Armaments were divided into the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. The Brilliant Five Flames included the Wolf Butcher Flame, the Empty Valley Flame, the Searing Sun Flame, the Sorrowful Flame, and the Sonic Flame. The last item was actually the Searing Sun Flame of the Brilliant Five Flames! Extreme Yin Flame!
A small flame the size of a candle was brought out, and the entire auction hall instantly turned incomparably cold. The audience felt as if they had fallen into an icy cavern.
"Your wood element mystical armaments are known to have the strongest vitality, while the fire element mystical armaments are known to be the most violent existences. Though this Splitting Sun Flame is of the fire element, it has an extreme Yin attribute. It's the Yin Dark Flame of the Brilliant Five Flames. Look at this small flame. It's exuding a cold Yin aura precisely because of its intrinsic Yin Chill," Oro said.
"It's a good thing that you didn't give up on the Tree of Life and waited for this Splitting Sun Flame. After all, you already have a wood element Immemorial Mystical Armament, so there's no way for you to subdue the other elements. Even if you spend an astronomical amount of money to get this Splitting Sun Flame, it'll just be a decoration …
Xia Fei nodded. It seemed that he had made the right choice. Immemorial Mystical Armaments were exclusive, and since Xia Fei had chosen the wood element, he had no way of accepting the other four elements.
Xia Xi had already obtained three of the Seven Plants of the Cloud Sea. If this was a wood element Immemorial Mystical Armament, Xia Fei would have given up everything he had to get his hands on it. Unfortunately, he was a fire element cultivator, so Xia Fei had nothing to worry about.
Just as Xia Fei had predicted, this Splitting Sun Flame was sold for a whopping 3.4 million grade 5 Origin Crystals! It was enough to last the Skywing Clan for three years! Everyone at the scene did their best to raise the price to a shocking level!
Sticking out his tongue, Xia Fei looked at his right arm and muttered to himself, "An Immemorial Mystical Armament for 3.4 million? Does that mean that this arm of mine is worth ten million grade 5 Origin Crystals?! "
Oro chuckled. "Of course. Your arm is probably the most valuable in the entire Law Realm, with three great Immemorial Mystical Armaments on it!" "Sigh, if I had known that this Splitting Sun Flame would be so expensive, I would have gone all out to get the Tree of Life! Now, I've brought 1.7 million, but I haven't gotten a single one of them. "
"Be content. I emptied out my entire clan this time, bringing 2.9 million! In the end, I still lost. " Xia Fei smiled as he listened to the vexed conversations of the crowd, feeling rather pleased with himself. After all, there was only one Splitting Sun Flame, and with so many people competing for it, it was only natural that the vast majority would return empty-handed.
After completing the handover procedures, Xia Fei paid for the Crimson Gold Flying Cicada Chrysalis and the Tree of Life. He then set off to an empty space outside Haodu, activating his spatial compass and preparing to return.
Though he had obtained two great Immemorial Mystical Armaments, Xia Fei had paid a hefty price. He only had 20,000 grade 5 Origin Crystals and 3.7 million grade 4 Origin Crystals left in his account. Xia Fei could not help but sigh at how easy it was to spend money in the Law Realm.
"Looks like I'll have to find a new way to solve the problem of money once and for all," Xia Fei muttered to himself.
Oro replied, "You should be content. You bought the Crimson Gold Flying Cicada Chrysalis and the Tree of Life very cheaply. If not for that Splitting Sun Flame, I'm willing to bet that you wouldn't have been able to get the Tree of Life for less than two million!" Xia Fei shrugged and did not say anything else.
"Eh? Where are you going? " Oro noticed that Xia Fei was not heading to Return Wind Garden, so he curiously asked.
* Whoosh ~ *
Xia Fei did not answer. Instead, he activated Oro and arrived at an unfamiliar location. It seemed to be in the wilderness.
"This is the Exiled Grounds! What are you doing here?! "Oro looked around and suddenly realized.
Xia Fei did not say anything. He took out the Crimson Gold Flying Cicada Chrysalis and the Tree of Life from his spatial ring. Xia Fei lightly flicked the Blood Crystal in his hand, and two metal plates the size of buttons dropped from the packaging of these two Immemorial Mystical Armaments.
"We're being followed. The Haotian Zhou Clan seems to be very interested in me," Xia Fei said as he put away the two Immemorial Mystical Armaments.
The old demon lord was speechless. It turned out that Xia Fei had already noticed something fishy when he was delivering the goods, which was why he had used this tactic of luring the enemy away from the Return Wind Garden, instead of luring them to the Exiled Grounds!
"The Haotian Auction House's people had strange looks in their eyes when they delivered the goods, and they even agreed to let me use grade 4 Origin Crystals to replace grade 5 Origin Crystals. As merchants, their actions are too unusual. Xia Fei nonchalantly said.
The instigator of all this was naturally Zhou Xiaoman. This lady was furious that Xia Fei had chased her out of the private room, and she was determined to investigate Xia Fei's identity. However, she had not considered the fact that with Xia Fei's sharp eyes, there was no way he would be so easily followed by her clumsy methods.
Xia Fei flexed his arms, doing a few stretches in the wilderness. The power of the Law of Primal Chaos slowly gathered in his hands. Xia Fei decided to teach Zhou Xiaoman a proper lesson for her unfriendly actions.
* Whoosh ~ *
Sure enough, a spatial passage opened several minutes later. The other party had also used a spatial compass to track him!
"Falling Leaf Double Kill!"
Xia Fei did not hesitate, making his move the moment the spatial passage opened!
The Law of Primal Chaos had a disruptive power, and even spatial passages were within its range of disruption!
* Kaboom! *
His two palms slammed heavily on the spatial passage that had just opened, and before the people inside could come out, Xia Fei sealed the spatial passage shut! As for where these people would be sent to, that was not Xia Fei's concern!
These pitiful people who had followed Zhou Xiaoman's orders to track Xia Fei did not even know how they died. Xia Fei did not even give them a chance to attack!
It was still in that room of the Haotian Trading Company, where one could see the distant mountains and rivers, when Zhou Xiaoman received news that the tracking party had been completely wiped out.
"Where was the last location?" Zhou Xiaoman anxiously asked.
"The Exiled Grounds." Li Ning dejectedly reported. This time, the Haotian Trading Company had lost three Law Emperors, a disastrous loss. This was all because of Zhou Xiaoman's stubbornness.
"Hmph! The Exiled Grounds? I've long since deduced that these fugitives wouldn't dare to stay in the Law Realm! "Zhou Xiaoman said, her face ashen." Send people to the Exiled Grounds to investigate! I want to know who they are and what their goal is! "
