On the auction stage, Lu Zhongtian removed the black cloth that covered the tray in front of him. Immediately after, the first thing that caught everyone's eyes was a jade box that was a few inches in length and width. When Lu Zhongtian opened the jade box, a blood-red fruit appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
The blood-red fruit appeared to be the size of a dragon fruit. Its entire body was suffused with a blood-red color. If one were to take a closer look, there seemed to be blood flowing on its red skin. Under that layer of strange blood-red light, the surface of the fruit was covered with a layer of strange snake-like scales.
The scales were diamond-shaped and covered the surface of the fruit layer by layer, making the fruit look rather smooth. From afar, it looked like a bird's egg.
At the same time that this fruit was exposed to the air, Xiao Yan, who was in the private room, also saw this bright red fruit through the screen in front of him.
It was also at this moment that Xiao Yan's pair of dark black eyes firmly locked onto this fruit. Within his heart, there was an agitated emotion that could not be suppressed as it surged out.
His hands, which were originally lightly placed on the stone armrest, involuntarily tightened their grip. Blue veins popped out, and a terrifying force was released from his fingertips, easily crushing the armrest.
Standing up, Xiao Yan stared at the fruit in front of him with a fiery gaze. His face involuntarily revealed a fanatical expression.
"This is …"
"Dragon Scale Fruit. I'm sure there are many people here who know about it."
Just when Xiao Yan was feeling excited, Lu Zhongtian, who was in the field, introduced the fruit to the crowd with a face full of smiles.
"The Dragon Scale Fruit, just like its name, grows in a place where thousands of dragon scales gather. Only by gathering countless dragon scales will there be a certain chance of growing a Dragon Scale Fruit."
"Wow!"
As soon as these words came out, the crowd was in an uproar. When they looked at the Dragon Scale Fruit, their eyes could not help but surge with astonishment. Some of the people who did not know about the Dragon Scale Fruit were also extremely surprised.
Dragon scales were the symbol of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, and the Ancient Void Dragon Clan was a supreme force on the continent. Their strength was even more frightening. Only by gathering countless dragon scales would there be a certain chance of growing a Dragon Scale Fruit. Just from this point alone, the value of the Dragon Scale Fruit was astonishing.
To be able to be related to the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, even if it was just a little bit of it, was enough to make everyone present feel excited.
"Hehe, indeed, the Dragon Scale Fruit is indeed related to the Ancient Void Dragon Clan. Of course, it is only in certain aspects …"
As if he saw the fiery thoughts in the hearts of the crowd, this time, Lu Zhongtian did not exaggerate and spoke the truth.
"The Dragon Scale Fruit is unable to increase a practitioner's cultivation. At the same time, purely based on its nature, it is also unable to heal injuries …"
At this point, Lu Zhongtian intentionally paused. Most of the people present who did not know much about the Dragon Scale Fruit frowned. It could neither increase a practitioner's cultivation nor heal injuries. Since that was the case, what was the use of keeping it?
"The true effect of the Dragon Scale Fruit is …"
"Increasing physical strength."
Within the private room, Xiao Yan and Lu Zhongtian spoke at the same time. The former's expression was indifferent, but the latter's expression was filled with fanaticism.
That's right, the effect of the Dragon Scale Fruit was to increase the physical strength of the person who consumed it. From a certain point of view, the effect of consuming the Dragon Scale Fruit was not inferior to consuming a Transformation Pill. It was just that the direction of development of the two were different.
"Increasing physical strength?"
These words entered the ears of most of the people present, but it did not cause much of a stir. After all, these people mainly focused on Dou Qi cultivation. Physical strength was really too weak in their eyes. In a real battle, relying on the strength of Dou Qi, one's physical strength was unable to effectively unleash one's strength. Auctioning off this Dragon Scale Fruit did not benefit them at all.
Of course, not everyone thought so. It was not as if there were no powerhouses who cultivated physical strength. Therefore, in just a short moment, fiery words came out one after another.
"Ha ha, not bad, not bad. It is actually the Dragon Scale Fruit. Sir chairman, quickly announce the price. I can't wait to get it!"
"Hee hee, recently, I have been unable to break through a bottleneck in one of my physical Dou Techniques. Now, it has actually taken the initiative to deliver itself to me. The old me will definitely get this Dragon Scale Fruit!"
In the viewing gallery, a few factions spoke one after another. Their eyes contained a fiery expression when they looked at the Dragon Scale Fruit. The Dragon Scale Fruit was the greatest help to these experts who practiced physical strength. With the Dragon Scale Fruit, they would be able to raise their strength by a large amount. This would save them a lot of training time!
Upon seeing this scene, Lu Zhongtian, who was on the auction stage, smiled faintly. Although he had already predicted that there would not be many people interested in the Dragon Scale Fruit, the fact that it was so popular had already exceeded his expectations.
"Ha ha, the starting price of this Dragon Scale Fruit is two hundred low grade Spirit Stones. Everyone, please!"
Lu Zhongtian wore a smile on his face as he swept his gaze across the entire place. He raised his hand and made a 'please' gesture to everyone present. After which, he did not say anything else and quietly waited for the change in the auction.
Initially, the price of two hundred low grade Spirit Stones had indeed shocked many people present. Although they more or less had some faction standing behind them, this did not mean that they could treat two hundred Spirit Stones as nothing. However, under the enormous temptation of the Dragon Scale Fruit, there was finally someone who could no longer remain silent and made the first bid.
With the first bid, there would naturally be a second and third. Hence, not long after, the price of the Dragon Scale Fruit swiftly rose from the initial two hundred Spirit Stones to five hundred Spirit Stones. It even showed signs of continuing to rise.
"I bid six hundred Spirit Stones."
At this moment, a deep voice was suddenly emitted from one of the private rooms in the auction house.
Immediately, everyone present couldn't help but look towards the source of the voice. The expressions on the faces of the people from the few factions who were shouting loudly earlier couldn't help but change slightly when they noticed that the voice came from within the private room.
If it was an ordinary faction, they naturally would not have any scruples. However, if it was the people in the private rooms, they had no choice but to be careful.
Those factions that were able to enter those private rooms were the true top tier factions in the Western Region. Most of them were factions that only president Lu Zhongtian could afford to pay attention to. Therefore, the words that rang out from those private rooms possessed quite a bit of deterrence to these factions.
Although they were fortunate enough to enter this auction, they knew in their hearts that the real competition was the Fusang Flower at the end. At this moment in the auction house, the only factions who had the ability to bid for the Fusang Flower were the people in the private rooms. At most, they could only bid for the first few items.
With regards to this, they were very self-aware.
In the auction house, as the deep voice from the private room rang out, the group of factions gradually calmed down. As for the other private rooms, although those factions also knew the value of the Dragon Scale Fruit, it was not suitable for them. Hence, no one bid.
The appearance of this scene caused Lu Zhongtian, who was on the auction stage, to frown slightly. The fact that the people in the box had started to bid now had undoubtedly broken his expectations. At the same time, he was afraid that it would cause a certain amount of difference in the profits of the auction. This was something that he did not expect.
However, looking at the current situation, it seemed that no one intended to bid anymore. Could it be that this Dragon Scale Fruit could only be auctioned for six hundred Spirit Stones?
"Hmph hmph, this Dragon Scale Fruit is only effective for people who cultivate physical strength. There are very few people who can use it. Since no one else is bidding, I guess there won't be anyone else who will bid. In that case, Lord Lu, please make your decision."
In the private room, a deep voice rang out once again. This time, many people in the auction house could only shrug their shoulders helplessly.
Indeed, although the Dragon Scale Fruit was expensive, it was only effective for people who cultivated physical strength. Even if an ordinary person consumed it, the effects would be minimal. It was because of this reason that the auction price of the Dragon Scale Fruit was limited. Hence, there were very few people who actually bid for it in the auction house.
"Sigh …"
After a long while, Lu Zhongtian could only shake his head helplessly in his heart. He lifted his gaze, intending to judge the outcome of the auction for the Dragon Scale Fruit.
However, at this moment, in the private room, Xiao Yan, who had been hesitating, finally frowned and asked Lu Zhongtian.
"President Lu, may I ask if this Dragon Scale Fruit can be auctioned with other items of equal value?"
As Xiao Yan intended to keep the Spirit Stones for his incarnation to raise its strength, he did not intend to use the Spirit Stones in his Storage Ring to auction off the Dragon Scale Fruit. Therefore, he could only turn his gaze to the other valuable things in his Storage Ring.
The words that Xiao Yan suddenly spat out caused everyone present to focus their attention. After which, they turned their gazes. This included the people in the other private rooms. All of them turned their gazes toward the private room that Xiao Yan was currently in.
At the same time, Lu Zhongtian, who was on the auction stage, was also stunned by Xiao Yan's words. Then, he smiled and said,
"Sir, if you can take out an item worth more than six hundred Spirit Stones, then it can naturally be auctioned for the Dragon Scale Fruit."
When he said this, Lu Zhongtian's eyes were fixed on Xiao Yan's private room, and a smile appeared on his face again.
Within the private room, Xiao Yan smiled and nodded when he heard these words. He said with a smile,
"In that case, I wonder if ten bottles of Icy Spirit Liquid are worth this price?"
