The cultivators participating in the auction were not the only ones who were shocked. Even Chu Shen was stunned when he heard Lu Ye say that there were a hundred array discs in his storage ring.
He had personally experienced the wonders of array discs. If there were a hundred of them, how much power could they bring to a force?
A hundred array discs represented a hundred formations. If five late-stage Constellation Masters joined forces, it would be a piece of cake for them to fight against an ordinary Yue Yao.
In other words, each array disc meant that a force could have one more Yue Yao as their battle prowess!
Of course, no matter which force it was, it was impossible to have too many late-stage Constellation Masters. There was a limit to the power that array discs could bring. However, this kind of power was extremely convenient and fast. It was not an exaggeration to say that no matter which force obtained these hundred array discs, their overall strength would increase by at least thirty percent!
How terrifying was this kind of power?
If there were a hundred array discs, wouldn't there be two hundred or three hundred?
The representatives of the various forces participating in the auction originally thought that Fa Wuzun would take out three to five array discs at most. If that was the case, they would definitely fight to the death. It would not be an exaggeration to say that each array disc was worth millions.
However, the number of array disrupted everyone's train of thought. This caused no one to bid in the large auction venue!
After a moment of silence, an old man finally spoke, "Fellow Daoist Fa Wuzun, may I ask … how many array discs are there?"
If they knew the total number of array discs, it would be easier for them to bid. If the number was small, the bidding would be fiercer. If the number was large, the bidding would be gentler. This would ensure that everyone would get benefits and not hurt each other's reputation.
On the round platform, Lu Ye's eyes were slightly lowered. He did not say a word, as if he did not hear anything.
He naturally knew what the old man was thinking. However, as one of the auction parties, how could he reveal his own details?
Chu Shen smiled slightly. "I can't tell you the total number of array discs. However, I can give you a very accurate piece of information. The number of array discs is definitely not enough for all the forces here! Also, the starting price of the next batch of array discs will be the second highest price after the previous batch of array discs. Therefore, Fellow Daoists who want array discs must hurry up. These things will become more expensive the more they are sold! "
The rules of the auction were set by Lu Ye. He had also informed Chu Shen of them through voice transmission. The reason he set such a rule was not because he was afraid that these forces would collude with each other …
There were at least eight hundred forces participating in the auction, if not a thousand.............. It was just that this rule was more advantageous in raising the price of the array discs. Moreover, the person who made the first move would indeed have an advantage, and it would also be easier to arouse the competition among the participating cultivators.
.............. Too many array discs...........................
Don't go back and spend a lot of money to buy the disk array, only to find out that it was different from what you saw. That would be a huge loss of face!
......................................................
................................
... Chu Shen immediately said, "Of course it's not inconvenient. In the future, if there are any Fellow Daoists who have doubts about array discs, you can ask to check them." With that, he released his spirit force and hundreds of almost identical array discs appeared before him.
Chu Shen didn't give the array discs to others to check. If they took them and ran, he wouldn't be able to chase them back. It was undoubtedly better to have the initiative in his own hands.
He looked at the old man. "Old Sir, you can choose any array disc. I'll activate its power and let everyone feel it!"
The old man casually chose one. Chu Shen picked up the array disc, jumped off the high platform, and entered the crowd. He slightly activated the array disc's power.
In an instant, many cultivators within the range of the array disc noticed the mystery of this object.
Previously, they had only observed the battle between Fa Wuzun and others to see the mystery of the array disc. Now that they personally felt it, it was undoubtedly more vivid. They were even more certain that this array disc was a rare treasure!
Chu Shen returned to the round platform, raised the ring on his hand, and said, "One hundred array discs, no reserve price. Fellow Daoists who want one can bid now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a cultivator shouted, "Two hundred thousand!"
Two hundred thousand for one hundred, one array disc was only two thousand spirit jades! This was a far cry from the price they had originally expected in their hearts!
Chu Shen immediately turned his head to look in the direction of the voice and smiled. "This handsome Fellow Daoist bids two hundred thousand!"
"Two hundred and twenty thousand!"
"Two hundred and fifty thousand!"
"Two hundred and eighty thousand!"
Several voices rang out from different corners.
In just a few breaths of time, the price broke four hundred thousand.
After a while, it reached five hundred thousand.
Lu Ye's drooping eyes opened slightly. He realized that the benefits this array disc could bring him might be greater than he had imagined.
He had originally estimated that it would be good if each formation plate could bring him 5,000 Spirit Jades. Now, this was only the first batch, and he had already reached his goal. In the future, it would only get higher and higher. Of course, even if it was higher, it would not be by much. Cultivators all had a scale in their hearts. They might not be able to truly string everything together, but they were all experienced businessmen. Whatever the value of something, they would have a standard in their hearts. Thus, they would not mindlessly bid.
The one who shouted five hundred thousand was none other than a manager of the Vientiane Chamber of Commerce!
He hadn't spoken before, but after he spoke, the other voices quieted down. Obviously, he intended to give face to the Vientiane Chamber of Commerce. After all, no matter which galaxy the Chamber of Commerce was from, they all made a living in the Vientiane Sea. There was no benefit in offending the Vientiane Chamber of Commerce.
"Is there anyone higher than five hundred thousand?" Chu Shen asked with a smile. He asked twice, but still no one responded. "Since there's no one else, I'll bid six hundred thousand!"
He obviously hadn't forgotten that he had promised Lu Ye to help him raise the price.
The group of cultivators participating in the auction was dumbfounded.
They had never heard of the auctioneer participating in the auction. It was as if someone was both a contestant and a referee in an arena battle.
Chu Shen said matter-of-factly, "I'm here on behalf of the Chamber of Commerce. Is there a problem?"
The manager of the Vientiane Chamber of Commerce also had a headache. He never expected that he would be stabbed in the back by one of his own people just as he was about to win.
However, he had also heard of Chu Shen. He knew that Chu Shen had been spoiled by Jiuyan. It was understandable for him to be willful at this time.
Moreover, for a colossus like the Vientiane Chamber of Commerce, there was almost no difference between five hundred thousand and six hundred thousand. As long as he could get the one hundred array discs, his mission would be completed.
He saw that Chu Shen was helping to raise the price, so he said, "Six hundred thousand and one!"
Chu Shen immediately looked at him with a grin. He didn't wait any longer and said decisively, "Sold. Congratulations to Fellow Daoist from the Vientiane Chamber of Commerce for winning the first batch of one hundred array discs! Such divine objects only cost six thousand spirit jades on average. Fellow Daoist, you've made a big profit! "
The manager of the Vientiane Chamber of Commerce stepped forward and took the storage ring from Chu Shen's hand without saying anything. He handed over the sufficient amount of spirit jades and immediately left the hall.
He had to quickly send the array discs back to the Vientiane Sea and hand them over to experts to decipher and study them. The sooner this thing was deciphered, the sooner it could be mass produced. Six hundred thousand spirit jades was only the initial cost. As long as they could decipher the array discs, the profits it would bring to the Vientiane Chamber of Commerce in the future would be thousands of times greater!
In the main hall, the cultivators who participated in the auction also calculated in their hearts according to Chu Shen's words. An array disc was only a few thousand Spirit Jades on average, which was really cheap. It should be known that almost everyone had at least collected hundreds of thousands of Spirit Jades, and there were many who had collected millions of Spirit Jades. Originally, they only planned to buy one array disc, but now they could buy one hundred of them.
At this time, Chu Shen had already taken the second storage ring from Lu Ye and handed the spirit jades to Lu Ye. He returned to his previous position and raised the storage ring, saying, "The second batch of one hundred array discs starts at six hundred thousand spirit jades!"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone followed suit.
In a very short time, the price climbed to seven hundred thousand and was approaching eight hundred thousand spirit jades!
At this moment, Lu Ye was holding the storage ring full of spirit jades in his hand. He looked a little absent-minded. When he first came to the Vientiane Sea, he worked hard for half a year on the Fishing Island and only earned three hundred thousand spirit jades. Now, he had six hundred thousand spirit jades …
And this was only the beginning!
Lu Ye finally understood what it meant to get rich overnight. Sure enough, no one could get rich without a windfall.
Suddenly, he raised his head and glanced at the cultivator who made the bid. He said, "There's no need to auction the Insect Tribe. I'm not selling you the array discs!"
The bidding stopped abruptly.
The Insect Tribe cultivator was stunned and then flew into a rage. "Why don't you sell them to me? It's not like I can't afford the spirit jades!"
Lu Ye did not speak and only stared at him coldly.
Although he wanted to use the array discs to make a fortune, he did not care who won them. However, the Insect Tribe was absolutely out of the question. He did not have a good impression of this race.
The Insect Tribe cultivator was even more furious. "I'll bid one million and two hundred thousand spirit jades!"
He suddenly raised the price of the spirit jades by a few hundred thousand, and this was probably the highest price he could afford. The main reason was that he did not have enough time. Lu Ye had only given him three days. Otherwise, he would have been able to collect even more spirit jades.
As soon as he said this, many cultivators became nervous, afraid that Lu Ye would agree. If he did, there would be one less array disc to bid for.
Fortunately, Lu Ye was unmoved. "If I say I'm not selling, then I'm not selling. There's still the Blood Tribe." He turned to look in another direction. "You don't have to bid anymore!"
He then looked in a third direction. "And you!"
The cultivators in this direction were not Blood Tribe or Insect Tribe cultivators, but proper human cultivators. However, this guy had secretly planted some kind of trick on Lu Ye, and it was neutralized by the Talent Tree.
Fortunately, he had the Talent Tree. Otherwise, Lu Ye would not even know how his whereabouts were exposed in the future. When that time came, he would definitely be in a bad situation.
