Inside the auction ground, a fist-sized Stone of Phoenix's Blood floated in midair. It was emitting light that dazzled everyone's eyes.
Without a doubt, this Stone of Phoenix's Blood was a rare treasure. It could be split into more than 10 Stones of Phoenix's Blood. In other words, Ling Xian had the wealth to bid.
This made everyone's face burn. As if they were slapped in the face, their faces were burning.
As much as they felt embarrassed, they also felt greedy. They wanted to make a move right now and pocket the Stone of Phoenix's Blood. However, remembering Ling Xian's terrifying spiritual energy, they felt like a bucket of cold water was poured over them and they woke up.
A powerhouse of that level was not someone they could provoke.
Everyone shook their heads and bitterly smiled. They were shocked at Ling Xian's wealth and his terrifying capabilities.
"Supreme Headmaster Fang, I wonder if you have anything to say now?"
Ling Xian revealed a faint smile. It was like taunting and taunting.
This made Fang Bie Chen feel like he was slapped in the face and insulted. Yet he had nothing to say.
He was the one who asked for this slap.
"You have nothing to say?"
The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up. Then, his smile disappeared and he said in a cold voice, "Then go back and bid. Or admit defeat. Stop wasting my time."
At that, Fang Bie Chen was enraged. Terrifying Qi howled out of him and engulfed the entire place.
But in the next second, his Qi crumbled.
It wasn't that Ling Xian made a move, it was that all the important figures inside the VIP rooms made their moves and crumbled his Qi.
After all, these people all had extraordinary identities. To be surrounded by Fang Bie Chen's Qi, why wouldn't they be angry?
"Hmmph, young man, I sure want to see just how rich you are."
Fang Bie Chen hissed, "12 Ling Long Jades."
Then, his eyes were full of provocation. But just as he shifted his gaze towards Ling Xian, he was slapped in the face again.
"15 Stones of Phoenix's Blood."
Ling Xian casually uttered out an astronomical number, making everyone gasp.
What the f! ck!
Even if you have a fist-sized Stone of Phoenix's Blood, you can't spend it like this!
Everyone was speechless. They felt like Ling Xian wasn't talking about the Stone of Phoenix's Blood, but the small stones that could be found everywhere.
"Good, very good."
Fang Bie Chen's face darkened. He felt like Ling Xian had slapped him in the face. Killer's intent poured out of him. However, he knew that he couldn't make a move now. Or else he would be going against the House of Thousand Treasures.
Therefore, he swallowed his anger and didn't bid.
Because 15 Stones of Phoenix's Blood was more than he could afford. He could also tell that Ling Xian was determined to get his hands on the Lock of Eternity. Even if he were to use the House's resources, he wouldn't be able to compete with the Stone of Phoenix's Blood.
Therefore, he could only endure it and return to his room.
At this, everyone's eyes widened. They didn't think the arrogant Fang Bie Chen would admit defeat.
This was something unbelievable. But when they remembered the Stone of Phoenix's Blood in midair and Ling Xian's nonchalant attitude, they understood.
Meeting such a pervert who didn't care about the Phoenix's Blood Stone, anyone could only admit defeat!
"Very good."
Seeing that Fang Bie Chen was retreating, Ling Xian grinned. He then took back the Stone of Phoenix's Blood and divided it into 15 pieces.
However, he was stopped by the auctioneer.
"Your excellency, please wait."
The auctioneer had a fawning expression, "Such a large Stone of Phoenix's Blood is a priceless treasure. It would be a waste to cut it into multiple pieces. How about this, I will record it first. Later on, you can continue to bid for the Stone of Phoenix's Blood and we will count it all together. "
"Why should I?"
Ling Xian glared at him, "It's mine. I call the shots."
Hearing this, the auctioneer bitterly chuckled, knowing that Ling Xian still remembered what just happened. This made him bitterly smile. But he could only apologize and make concessions.
"How about this, if you agree to count it all together, I am willing to give you 10% off."
"Oh?"
Ling Xian's interest was piqued. In a transaction like this, even if he could only reduce the price by 10%, it was still a considerable amount of wealth.
Therefore, he softly nodded and accepted this gift.
This made the auctioneer smile. He raised his hand and sent the spiritual paper with the Lock of Eternity into the room Ling Xian was in. Then, he took out the next item. It was also a valuable treasure.
However, Ling Xian was not at all interested.
His attention had been completely absorbed by the spiritual paper in his hand.
The Lock of Eternity was an extremely vicious curse. Based on what was written on the spiritual paper, as long as a few specific items are found and an incantation is chanted, it can be used on any living being.
Of course, the prerequisite is that the target must be below the original level. If the target is above the original level, then it will be useless.
"What a vicious curse. It is no wonder that even with the Wang Clan's capabilities, they couldn't get rid of it."
Ling Xian was silently shocked. Then, he frowned and tried to find a way to solve it.
However, no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't find anything.
After all, what was written here was how to cast the Lock of Eternity, not how to solve it.
"I will have to search slowly. But it's not like I have nothing to gain. At least I have some clues."
Ling Xian softly smiled. The reason why he bought this was to help Gong Suo Xin get rid of the curse. But since the beginning, he didn't have much hope.
Therefore, he wasn't disappointed. Instead, he was somewhat happy.
The theory behind the curse was now in his hands. He believed that as long as he can understand it, he will be able to find a way to solve it.
Just then, the treasures the auctioneer brought out piqued his interest and made his heart waver.
All because it was the 10 fragments of the Wheel of Samsara.
The Wheel of Samsara was an ancient treasure that controlled the six paths of reincarnation. It was insanely powerful. A long time ago, he acquired a fragment of it. Then, he acquired many more from Luo Xin Jie.
Now that he was seeing fragments of the Wheel of Samsara, why wouldn't his heart waver?
He wasn't the only one. Everyone's eyes were heated as well. Immediately, bids began to rise one after another.
Just as everyone was in a heated battle, Ling Xian joined in. The moment he opened his mouth, everyone bitterly chuckled.
"10 Stones of Phoenix's Blood."
This was a soft statement. It was as if he wasn't talking about the Stones of Phoenix's Blood, but about worthless stones.
This made everyone sigh in unison. They all chose to shut up and stop bidding.
What a joke!
To fight against someone who didn't think much of the Stone of Phoenix's Blood … wasn't that just asking for trouble?
Therefore, everyone chose to give up. After all, there were so many fragments of the Wheel of Samsara and there was no guarantee that they would be able to collect all of them.
In the end, Ling Xian collected all 10 fragments of the Wheel of Samsara. Including the original fragments, he now had a total of 15.
One has to admit that this number was shocking. Though there was still a long way to go before he could collect all the fragments, he believed that one day, he will be able to recreate the Wheel of Samsara's power!
After he obtained the Reincarnation Fragment, the auction came to an end.
Under the auctioneer's unwilling gaze, Ling Xian split the Stone of Phoenix's Blood in half and handed one half to the auctioneer. However, after sensing two cold gazes, he split the remaining Stone of Phoenix's Blood and handed it over to the auctioneer.
Then, an arrogant statement left his mouth and echoed throughout the entire auction ground.
"Take it. It is compensation for me for destroying this place."
