Chapter 2012: Chapter 2013: The Auction Begins
Simple and clear!
There isn’t even any introduction!
This is the style of the Dragon Soul City auction!
Of course, it’s not like there is no introduction at all. Along with the auctioneer’s words, an image appeared above the central auction stage, showing the appearance of the Divine Soul Fruit and a description of its effects. It even included predictions about the success rate of planting this sapling!
Sixty percent!
This Divine Soul Fruit Tree, according to the data given by the Dragon Clan, has a sixty percent chance of survival when planted!
The Divine Soul Fruit isn’t considered extremely precious. Although it’s rare, it can still be found. Naturally, its effect is to enhance the strength of the Divine Soul!
However, what’s being auctioned this time is not just the Divine Soul Fruit. Even though it’s just an appetizer now, the Dragon Soul City auction house wouldn’t use just a Divine Soul Fruit as an appetizer!
This time, it’s the fruit tree!
Typically, the value of a single Divine Soul Fruit ranges from several thousand to twenty thousand Immortal Stones, primarily depending on the fruit’s effect!
And this Divine Soul Fruit Tree can mature once every hundred years, producing dozens to hundreds of fruits each time!
In other words, once successfully planted, it would be a directly profitable item!
It’s important to note that the auctioneer mentioned a Divine Soul Fruit Tree, not just a sapling!
In other words, this tree has already grown and can directly bear fruit!
Ye Luo’s heart slightly stirred, indeed, he was moved. This Divine Soul Fruit Tree truly holds some value for Ye Luo.
After all, the ability to strengthen the Divine Soul is not something that ordinary treasures can achieve!
Treasures that can enhance the Divine Soul are already extremely rare, let alone a tree that can continuously provide Divine Soul Fruits!
But after taking a closer look at the description of the Divine Soul Fruit, Ye Luo still decided to give up.
While this Divine Soul Fruit does enhance the Divine Soul, its effect isn’t considered strong.
In fact, to be precise, it’s relatively weak!
It was simply included as an appetizer in this Dragon Soul City auction due to its capability to enhance the Divine Soul!
Of course, while Ye Luo didn’t care, that doesn’t mean others don’t!
This is something that can enhance the Divine Soul!
The auction had just begun, and bidding voices were already endless!
"Two hundred thousand, I’ll offer two hundred thousand!"
"Hmph, you think two hundred thousand can get you the Divine Soul Fruit Tree? You are truly too stingy, I’ll offer a million!"
Ye Luo’s expression slightly changed, it seems he underestimated the value of this Divine Soul Fruit Tree!
Of course, this also had something to do with the starting price, after all, it was only a hundred thousand!
Who knew it would increase tenfold just from the start?
It seems that the Dragon Clan’s method of auction pricing is different, they don’t estimate the approximate value of the auctioned item but randomly set a price before throwing it out!
Well, who can blame them as they are the Dragon Clan, and indeed the items they bring out are genuinely good stuff!
In the end, the final transaction price for this Divine Soul Fruit Tree was seven million!
Yes, seven million, a price that’s neither particularly high nor low!
Remember, the Dragon Clan only gave a sixty percent success rate for planting!
Other forces don’t have the rich conditions of the Dragon Clan!
Perhaps the success rate for other forces to transplant might be only around forty to fifty percent, maybe even lower!
Buying this Divine Soul Fruit Tree for seven million may indeed be a gamble!
If planted successfully, it could provide a reliable and continuous economic source for one’s family!
But if it fails, the investment might just go to waste! Weaker families might even find it hard to recover!
Seven million is certainly not a small amount!
Yet, merely an appetizer could fetch such a high price!
The most critical part is that it went from a starting price of ten thousand to a final transaction price of seven million!
It’s truly worthy of being an auction organized by the Dragon Clan, undoubtedly a spectacle Ye Luo had never seen before!
However, Ye Luo wasn’t tempted at all.
This time, Ye Luo’s target is to deal with the people from the Chen Family, not to participate in the auction.
Even though with Ao Long’s support, perhaps Ye Luo could buy something for himself, he nonetheless has his own principles.
The relationship between Ao Long and Ye Luo is good, but what’s theirs is theirs. Borrowing is one thing, but directly using it as one’s own is another. Ye Luo still wouldn’t be that shameless!
Quietly waiting, as the auction continued, every item that was auctioned was an extremely attractive super treasure for Ye Luo, but he restrained himself!
He waited for the Chen Family’s individual to make a move!
Ye Luo’s decision to confront this Chen Family young master at the auction wasn’t an impulsive act but based on precise investigation.
This time, the primary purpose for these three forces coming to Longhun City was to find a birthday tribute for the Kunwu Sect Master, thus increasing their chances of being selected as core members. Of course, that’s the apparent reason.
According to the information Ao Dan provided Ye Luo, the Chen Family sent this young master for another secret mission: to bid on an item that originally belonged to them.
No one knows what it exactly is, Ao Dan couldn’t find out more. The only certainty is that the item is extremely important to the Chen Family.
It’s said that if this Chen young master fails to secure a suitable birthday gift, the worst outcome is just losing face in front of the Kunwu Sect Master. But if he doesn’t win this specific target, he might be abandoned by the Chen Family.
This task was reportedly volunteered for by the Chen young master, the item holds profound significance for the Chen Family to the extent that the Family Head almost took action personally.
However, while the item may not be overtly valuable, it holds special significance for the Chen Family.
It was precisely because of Ao Dan’s information that Ye Luo decided to deal with this Chen young master at the auction.
As long as Ye Luo secures the item that the Chen young master wants, the Chen Family certainly won’t let it slide, and Ye Luo is also keen to find out what secret the Chen Family is guarding so carefully.
However, Ao Dan only discovered that the item might be a Furnace Cauldron; other details remain unknown.
Not long after the auction began, the target finally appeared. This item is not considered to have high value to others, but it’s something the Chen Family is determined to obtain, though in reality, it’s not a target everyone competes for.
At this moment, the Chen young master in the opposite private room didn’t seem worried at all. Since his father entrusted this task to him, it was natural for him to have understood its importance, so he had already investigated thoroughly.
This item isn’t particularly desired by others; its presence here is purely coincidental!
"Next up, we have an item named the Xuan Yu Furnace, considered a decent artifact refining magical treasure!"
