Chapter 2380: Chapter 2384: Fifty Million
"It doesn’t matter."
Jiang Chen shook his head lightly: "You have no obligation to help me. It’s just that your character is not to my liking. Although my strength is humble, I am not so lowly as to need to give away the formation diagram I gained with difficulty to others and then pledge loyalty to them for stability."
Hu Yiqiu was taken aback by these words, furrowed his brow slightly, glanced at Tan Ming on the second floor, and then looked at Mu Wanqiu, as if he understood something, his face turned somewhat grim.
Fan Buzhuo opened his mouth, wanting to speak for Mu Wanqiu, but the words got stuck in his throat.
Mu Wanqiu’s earlier attempt to take advantage of the situation to ask for the ’Five Elements Emperor Slayer Array’ made him somewhat disgusted, lacking the face to plead for her.
Mu Wanqiu’s expression changed slightly upon hearing this, she gritted her teeth, glared at Jiang Chen, then turned her head to Hu Yiqiu, cupped her hands again and said: "Elder Jiu, this humble woman Mu Wanqiu, is the Commandery Princess of the Mu Royal Mansion, I wish to invite Elder Jiu to the Mu Royal Mansion as a guest, and hope Elder Jiu will not refuse."
"No time."
Hu Yiqiu said coldly, directly refusing.
Mu Wanqiu’s expression completely changed, she didn’t expect Jiang Chen held such a high position in Hu Yiqiu’s heart, enough for him to blatantly disregard the face of their Mu Royal Mansion. For a moment, she was at a loss.
"Up next is the final auction item."
At this time, the auction had reached its final stage, Zhang Qiushan chuckled and said: "This auction item, everyone should know by now, it is the Sky-Cleaving Spear of the Sky-Cleaving War Emperor. This spear is a Spirit Treasure Divine Weapon, within it is a legacy combat skill of the Sky-Cleaving War Emperor, the Sky-Cleaving Strike!"
"Is there really a legacy?!"
"Wow, it’s the Sky-Cleaving Strike, the famed combat skill of the Sky-Cleaving War Emperor?!"
"Back in the day, the Sky-Cleaving War Emperor, at the peak of the Unity Realm, used this Sky-Cleaving Strike to slay a Semi-Saint level expert!"
Zhang Qiushan’s words elicited a series of exclamations, and no one doubted the truth of his words. If it were just rumors, people might be skeptical, but with Zhang Qiushan’s direct announcement, there would be no mistake, otherwise it would impact the reputation of the Canghai Trade Alliance.
"Boy, bid for that Sky-Cleaving Spear. This Sky-Cleaving combat skill has no grade. Its power enhances with the deepening comprehension of the Golden Path, so you can practice it now!"
A transmission echoed in Jiang Chen’s mind.
Hu Yiqiu knew that in terms of reserves of Spirit Stones, Jiang Chen had more than him.
Jiang Chen was slightly surprised, his eyes showed a hint of excitement, was this Sky-Cleaving Strike combat skill really that miraculous? Also, not only spear path cultivators could execute it, but anyone who comprehended the Golden Path could?
"The starting bid for the Sky-Cleaving Spear is two million inferior Spirit Stones, each increase must not be less than one hundred thousand, and if there is a seventh-grade or higher Spirit Grass, one can replace five million Spirit Stones. Now, let the bidding begin."
Zhang Qiushan said with a light smile.
With a base price of two million, this price was not even enough to buy a single Spirit Treasure, but Zhang Qiushan was not worried. A Spirit Treasure Divine Weapon paired with a combat skill legacy capable of slaying a Semi-Saint would definitely drive every cultivator below the Saint rank crazy; the base price was merely symbolic!
"Two million!"
"Two point five million!"
"Three million!"
...
"Eight million!"
As soon as Zhang Qiushan’s voice fell, a series of calls rang out, the entire venue was immediately filled with a fervent atmosphere.
Jiang Chen did not call a bid, he knew very well it was meaningless to bid now.
"Twenty million Spirit Stones!"
Suddenly, a determined voice rang out, raising the bid price by twelve million directly, and then the bidder spoke again: "Don’t even think about it, know your limits. This Sky-Cleaving Spear is not something your small factions can lay a finger on!"
The crowd at the venue glared angrily over, but when they saw who it was, most of their eyes showed a hint of dejection.
Tan Ming from the Qingwang Residence has made a move, so it seems they really don’t have a chance at the Sky-Cleaving Spear!
"Twenty-five million!"
Mu Wanqiu, by Fan Buzhuo’s side, glanced at Tan Ming and began to place her bid.
"Thirty million."
A fierce voice sounded, everyone was slightly stunned, and turned to look at a man wearing a bamboo hat.
Jiang Chen’s eyes also showed a hint of surprise, that man was one of the targets he had specifically observed before.
After the man placed his bid, he reached up and removed the bamboo hat from his head.
"It’s Ling Tian Spear Emperor!"
"It’s the Ling Tian Spear Emperor, who was once as renowned as the Sky-Cleaving War Emperor, I didn’t expect him to bid for the Sky-Cleaving Spear too!"
"It’s rumored that the Ling Tian Spear Emperor has always been a nemesis of the Sky-Cleaving War Emperor, why would he bid for the Sky-Cleaving Spear?"
"Perhaps the Sky-Cleaving War Emperor’s breakthrough to the Saint rank provoked him, and he wants to find some opportunity for breakthrough from the Sky-Cleaving Spear!"
The man’s revealed appearance caused another wave of astonished murmurs.
Jiang Chen looked at the man, who had an unwavering face and somewhat somber eyes, his eyes occasionally glinting with a fierce light, clearly not an easy person to deal with.
"Giggle, so lively, this little girl will join in too, thirty-five million."
A soft giggle sounded, and an alluring voice came from Room 1.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen’s eye twitched slightly, he wasn’t apprehensive about the Fox Immortal Sect, but rather because he felt his Spirit Stones might not be enough to win the Sky-Cleaving Spear.
Divine Sense probing into the Space Ring, Jiang Chen carefully counted the Spirit Stones inside.
Five thousand one hundred...
Damn it!
Is there such a gap between the Outer Circle and the Inner Circle? This is the combined savings of several Unity Realm stage experts plus a top power, and it still falls short of these people. Surely they haven’t brought all their assets! Bringing even a fifth of it would be impressive!
Cursing inwardly, Jiang Chen’s Divine Sense moved to the pile of Spirit Grass.
Do I have to use the Spirit Grass?
Jiang Chen felt some heartache.
"Young Jiang, don’t feel pained, the Sky-Cleaving Spear of that old man Sky-Cleaving is definitely worth far more than it’s priced at, you must get it! If that old man hadn’t gone to guard the Extradomain Station, he would’ve never auctioned the Sky-Cleaving Spear!"
Hu Yiqiu’s voice echoed again in his mind, Jiang Chen hesitated slightly, and replied in disbelief: "Master knows the Sky-Cleaving War Emperor?"
"Old friends, back then, we were archenemies, but after fighting for a while, we became friends."
Hu Yiqiu replied through the transmission again.
"Forty million!"
While the two were communicating, Tan Ming of Qingwang Residence bid again.
"Fifty million!"
Jiang Chen shouted at the top of his voice.
"Fifty million?"
"Wow, that kid is running around with fifty million Spirit Stones at the Mid Divine Infant Realm?"
"Who is this kid?"
"He couldn’t have gotten that many Spirit Stones just from being a Changling Academy student, he must have another backer!"
The crowd in the venue looked at Jiang Chen in shock, their eyes full of disbelief.
Some people’s eyes towards Jiang Chen were filled with greed, but when they noticed Hu Yiqiu next to Jiang Chen, they hesitated and dismissed some thoughts.
