第三千七百五十一章 三件宝物

Clearly, they were wary of the Treasure Snake!

This wasn't unusual. As one of the Nine True Demons' Ancestors, regardless of his strength or fame, he was still on par with Loose Immortals and Demon Kings in the Spirit Realm.

Even domain masters generally wouldn't dare offend the Treasure Snake under normal circumstances.

For a moment, the scene froze as everyone waited to see what would happen next.

Of course, this was also due to the exorbitant price of the Treasure Snake. Even if immortal fruits were rare, seven million top-grade crystal stones could easily cover it.

Everything seemed to be settled now.

But just then, a faint voice entered his ears: "Treasure Snake, commoners are innocent until proven guilty. This is true, but for this handsome fellow, that rule doesn't apply. Do I speak correctly? Eight million!"

The voice was all too familiar to Lin Xuan—it was his sworn brother, Nailed Dragon!

Nailed Dragon actually appeared at a critical moment again, and the Treasure Snake fell silent, showing no intention of speaking.

She wasn't afraid of Nailed Dragon; rather, she had learned from past experience. During the first half of the auction, the final piece of treasure, Red Robe Immortal Sword, was originally obtainable for two million crystal stones. But Nailed Dragon caused a commotion, and as a result, the Ten Thousand Serpent King ended up paying five million crystal stones.

The silent suffering of being wronged was more than just frustrating—it was maddening.

Now that the Ten Thousand Serpent King had perished, this incident couldn't be easily forgotten. Seeing Nailed Dragon come to bid for the immortal fruit, something about him made the Treasure Snake feel uneasy… The Ten Thousand Serpent King had been so badly tricked; she didn't want to repeat his fate.

This hesitation allowed Nailed Dragon to seize the initiative. A cold laugh entered Lin Xuan's ears: "Just a few million crystal stones—what is there to hesitate about? A True Demon Ancestor shouldn't be so petty."

Nailed Dragon was truly remarkable. Looking across the three realms, he had dared to speak thusly to the Treasure Snake in front of everyone.

Though this woman obeyed Ice Soul without question, she was still one of the Nine True Demons' Ancestors, and her strength wasn't inferior to Loose Immortals or Demon Kings.

Such a direct insult would have caused other cultivators to spill blood. But Nailed Dragon… The Treasure Snake surprisingly held back.

Of course, his tone and voice were filled with extreme anger: "Just a few million crystal stones. How audacious of you! I won't bother with you. Since you want the immortal fruit, I'll let it go."

The Treasure Snake actually withdrew from the bidding.

Amidst the shock of the other cultivators, no one dared to stir up trouble. Nailed Dragon thus became the final victor, acquiring these immortal fruits for eight million crystal stones.

Everyone envied him.

On Daji Loose Immortal's face, a satisfied expression appeared as well.

After all, though these were immortal fruits, their value of eight million far exceeded their initial expectations and was more than worth it. Thus, everyone could consider themselves pleased with the outcome.

The only strange thing was that while Nailed Dragon's strength was sufficient to use such items, he had no need for them.

Though Lin Xuan was puzzled, he vaguely understood his brother's intentions. He himself wasn't in need of such items, but his wife was a different story.

Qianqian Immortal Maiden was only at the middle stage of Tribulation Transcendence, and Heavenly Essence Fruit would be perfect to refine her cultivation energy.

After all, pure cultivation energy not only significantly boosted one's strength but also had miraculous effects on breaking through bottlenecks.

Regardless, this first item's auction was now over. The atmosphere for the Peach Banquet was already fully charged.

Footsteps sounded as Daji Loose Immortal stepped down and Tianxuan Venerable reappeared.

"Thank you all for your enthusiastic support. Now we will begin the second piece of treasure…"

Tianxuan Venerable's words were still echoing when he waved his sleeves, revealing a colorful light. This time, what appeared was a huge axe.

Electric arcs danced around the blade, and a thin lightning snake seemed to slither along it. A formidable spiritual pressure emanated from its surface, indicating that this wasn't an ordinary treasure.

Heavenly Essence Artifact!

Lin Xuan's pupils constricted as he recognized it instantly with his vast experience.

The other old monsters weren't fools; they easily identified the artifact's grade and the discussion was lively but not too enthusiastic.

A Heavenly Essence Artifact could indeed attract a lot of attention elsewhere, but to these old monsters, it was just another ordinary item.

It was fine if they got it or didn't—it wasn't worth getting upset over.

Thus, when the auction began, though not ignored, most participants were middle-stage Tribulation Transcenders.

The later-stage old monsters weren't interested either. They felt that participating in such a competition for a mere Heavenly Essence Artifact would be unnecessary.

After some bidding, it finally sold for twenty thousand crystal stones.

While this price wasn't cheap, it was also not unreasonable. A Heavenly Essence Artifact's value could roughly be assessed at this amount.

Tianxuan Venerable's expression remained calm as he took out another treasure from his storage bag…

Time passed unnoticed in the ensuing hours.

Over the next half day, dozens of treasures were auctioned off, ranging from magical artifacts to immortal fruits, talismans, and even some more obscure items.

The process varied. Sometimes it was incredibly lively with hundreds competing at once, while other times only a few participants showed interest. Regardless, no item went unsold throughout the entire session, and Lin Xuan participated in several auctions, all of which were successful.

While there were highlights, the auction lacked truly exciting moments.

Lin Xuan almost dozed off.

But just then, Tianxuan Venerable's voice entered his ears: "Dear fellow cultivators, we will now enter the final auction环节. Yes, that is the last piece of treasure."

Almost everyone's attention was immediately drawn to him.

Even the three realms' most powerful beings were included.

Whether Loose Immortals or True Demon Ancestors, at their level, only a few treasures could pique their interest—indeed, they were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

The final piece of treasure in the Peach Banquet was undoubtedly attractive. Thus, everyone wanted to participate, naturally showing great interest.

This was expected, but Tianxuan Venerable still wore a satisfied expression.

Clearing his throat, he continued: "This auction is different from previous ones. There are three pieces of treasure at the end, each a rare gem among gems. Don't miss this opportunity; all fellow cultivators must seize it."
