第三千七百一十六章 鼐龙真人与万蛟王

The treasures of the Immortal Mansion were indeed captivating, but bidding them away at such a cost seemed too steep. Most participants had already begun to lose heart.

After careful consideration, these treasures were not meant for ordinary practitioners. Even if one bid everything they had, it was uncertain whether they could survive the journey out of the Flowing Pear Orchard.

For domain masters who possessed such power, acquiring this treasure would be a boon. However, those lacking in strength might find themselves doomed by what should have been a blessing.

Though these words sounded absurd, upon reflection, they held undeniable logic.

Only the domain masters who had already taken up residence in the Flying Sky Mansion continued to bid. The price had risen to twelve million crystal stones almost instantaneously—high-quality ones at that.

Lin Xuan could not help but marvel; his first encounter with high-grade crystal stones was on Demon Spirit Island, where a single stone had sparked intense competition among cultivators. He nearly lost his life over it, and now he found himself in a position to vie for such treasures.

When did he become one of the top cultivators in the Spirit Realm?

A glimmer of confusion flashed across Lin Xuan's face. Indeed, his achievements were remarkable, and his pride was justified.

While pursuing eternal life, Lin Xuan had succeeded. However, the path to immortality was long and arduous; the pursuit of power knew no bounds. Moreover, there was Asura to consider. Unraveling the mystery surrounding Moon's past was a duty he owed her.

With these thoughts in mind, Lin Xuan regained his sharp focus as the bidding for the Red Robe Immortal Sword continued.

The auctioneer, Tianxuan, noticed that few were willing to bid at such a high price. Even domain masters had to carefully consider whether it was worth spending so many crystal stones.

"Friend Tianxuan, since no one else is bidding, shouldn't you declare thebelong toof this Red Robe Immortal Sword?"

A cold voice echoed through the hall, filled with dissatisfaction. The speaker was undoubtedly the highest bidder at that moment.

It made sense for him to want a swift resolution.

"Haha, friend, there's no need to rush. I have no reason to delay. According to the rules, I will ask three more times. If no one bids… " Tianxuan's face darkened as hereluctantlysmiled and spoke.

Before he could finish, a deep, authoritative voice interrupted: "Two million crystal stones! This treasure may be flawed, but at such a price, even the True Immortal in the underworld would weep. I claim this item for two million crystal stones."

"Whoa…"

The cultivators present gasped. They had underestimated the increase in value; it was now clear that they were dealing with something far more valuable than expected.

Two million crystal stones to twelve million—such wealth was beyond mere grandiosity.

And that voice sounded familiar…

Could it be…?

"King of Ten Thousand Serpents!"

Someone swallowed hard, and this guess quickly gained consensus. Although Immortal Kings and Demon Lords were elusive figures, the hall now gathered some of the most powerful cultivators in the Three Realms. Many recognized King of Ten Thousand Serpents by his voice.

One of the three most renowned Demon Kings, his reputation was legendary.

Everyone sucked in their breaths. These were acknowledged top-tier powerhouses, far more formidable than ordinary domain masters.

In the past, Immortal Kings and Demon Lords had participated in the Peach Banquet, but bidding for treasures was rare. The Immortal Mansion's treasures truly warranted such attention; even the rebellious King of Ten Thousand Serpents seemed interested.

The cultivators' surprise reignited their interest in the item. After all, King of Ten Thousand Serpents's discernment was beyond doubt.

However, none dared to bid, for two reasons: the price was exorbitant, and most lacked the funds. Even if they could afford it, competing with King of Ten Thousand Serpents?

The thought alone made them shudder. While auctions favored the highest bidder, in the end, power still spoke louder than wealth.

King of Ten Thousand Serpents might respect his own status but would not hesitate to cause trouble later.

Indeed, bidding for a treasure against such an entity was not worth it. The hopeful cultivators collectively lost their enthusiasm once more.

The matter seemed settled with King of Ten Thousand Serpents's bid. However, just as everyone thought so, a lazy voice interrupted: "Twenty-five million!"

There truly were those who did not fear death…

The cultivators stared in disbelief. Some even laughed and jeered: "Is this person mad? Bidding on an item known to be favored by King of Ten Thousand Serpents."

"Shh, I think you're the one who's living dangerously. A cultivator willing to bid twenty-five million crystal stones is no fool; how do you know they fear King of Ten Thousand Serpents?"

Before anyone could respond, the second bidder was recognized.

Nail Dragon!

Indeed, it was Lin Xuan's sworn brother. One of the top three powerhouses in the Three Realms.

Lin Xuan felt a mix of surprise and curiosity. Could his brother also be interested?

King of Ten Thousand Serpents was both surprised and angry. He had assumed the item would be his but was now faced with an unexpected competitor.

Nail Dragon, who cared about status, would not hesitate to challenge him.

"Thirty million!"

He gritted his teeth and offered a staggering price.

"Forty million!" Nail Dragon, the Immortal, seemed even more wealthy. He spoke without hesitation.

"You… fifty million!" King of Ten Thousand Serpents's voice was filled with rage: "If you bid one more crystal stone, I'll take it."

I've been feeling unwell these past couple of days, but I'll try my best tomorrow!
