"The third auction item is a set of mid-grade spiritual armor. Wearing this mid-grade spiritual armor can resist the attacks of a True Martial Realm expert. The starting price is four million taels of silver, and each bid must be no less than four hundred thousand taels of silver. Please bid."
Wu Chen was quite interested in mid-grade spiritual armor, because he was wearing such a mid-grade soft armor, which could resist the attacks of Zhenwu realm masters. Once, he relied on this soft armor to block Fu Bi's attack and dragged the old man to death.
However, it was obvious that he would not buy it, because he already had one, although it was a little broken, but with the Yunlei Silk, he could repair the soft armor. If he bought another one, it would be a duplication, so there was no need for him to buy it.
The fourth item is the same as the first one, both are earth-level intermediate martial arts. This martial art is more domineering and more powerful than the first one. Naturally, the price is also higher, with a starting price of 4.5 million.
Wu Chen had no interest in martial arts at all. Even the high-level earth-level martial arts were not something he bothered to take a look at.
Until the fifth thing appeared.
"The fifth auction item is the corpse of the Nine Nether Bird."
Two big men carried up a corpse. Seeing the corpse, Wu Chen couldn't help but think of the days when he and Shun Yan captured the Nine Nether Bird together in the depths of the Demon Cloud Mountains. Those days were so nostalgic, as if they had happened just yesterday.
"What is this, a dead body?"
"What's the use of a corpse? If it's a living Nine Nether Bird, it's easier to deal with."
"A live Nine Nether Bird? Are you dreaming? Who would be willing to sell a live Nine Nether Bird?"
"hehe."
Everyone was talking at once, discussing the matter.
He Yafang moistened her throat and introduced, "My dear friends, this Nine Nether Bird is extremely powerful. It is also a top-level beast among the fourth-level monsters. Its body is intact, and even its essence and blood are still preserved in it. It can be used to make pills, refine weapons, etc. The starting price is five million taels of silver, and each bid must be no less than five hundred thousand taels. Please bid."
Hearing the words "essence and blood", Wu Chen's eyes lit up. He naturally remembered that the essence and blood of the Nine Nether Bird contained a trace of Phoenix blood. Phoenix blood was exactly what he needed most at the moment. It was a must for him to practice the Fire Phoenix Art and break through the realm.
He wanted this thing.
For him, he must get anything related to the Phoenix bloodline. Moreover, as He Yafang introduced, the corpse of the Nine Nether Bird has other uses. If he buys this thing, it may bring him some unexpected gains.
"Five million."
"Five and a half million."
"Six million."
The bidding sounds continued one after another, but most of the people who made bids were people of special identities, such as alchemists, weapon refiners, and puppeteers. These people of special identities were the only ones who would be interested in the corpse of the Nine Nether Bird.
"Ten million taels of silver."
The sudden voice drew everyone's attention, and they looked at Room 48 with confusion in their eyes.
"This is Wu Chen. Is he going to compete for the corpse of the Nine Nether Bird?"
"Since the price has been called, there must be competition. Is there any need to ask?"
"No, what I mean is, what does he want to do with the corpse of the Nine Nether Bird?"
"That is unknown."
In Room 48, Milan asked, "Handsome guy, what are you competing for the corpse of the Nine Nether Bird for? Are you going to make an elixir?"
She knew that Wu Chen was an alchemist, and he had also promised personally that he would make them a second-grade top-grade elixir.
"Perhaps."
His answer was somewhat ambiguous. In fact, the main reason he purchased the corpse of the Nine Nether Bird was because of its essence and blood. If the essence and blood were not there, he would definitely not compete for it.
"It's this kid, great, let me show you how to deal with you."
In private room No. 36, Zhao Chonglou's eyes lit up. It was Wu Chen's sudden attack that caused him to lose the Yunlei Silk. This time he must take action and take revenge on this kid.
"Nonsense."
Suddenly, a voice came from his father's mouth, which scared Zhao Chonglou.
"Father, you?"
Glancing at Zhao Chonglou, Zhao Fengguo said calmly: "Chonglou, don't forget, we came here with an important mission."
Zhao Chonglou was stunned and speechless. Yes, they came here with an important mission and should not waste money easily. What if he offered to buy the corpse of the Nine Nether Bird, but Wu Chen suddenly gave up, causing them to lose more than 10 million taels of silver in vain? If they did not have enough financial resources, his father would definitely not forgive him.
"Boy, you're lucky."
With his father's reminder, Zhao Chonglou naturally would not take action. However, the grudge between him and Wu Chen would not end so easily. Sooner or later, he would get revenge on Wu Chen.
Wu Chen's move did not stop the interest of others. As everyone took turns bidding, the price of the corpse continued to rise, and now it has exceeded 14 million.
"Fifteen million." Wu Chen raised the price again, showing his determination to win it.
When this price came out, many people were shocked. With such a high price, even a Zhenwu realm expert would feel painful if he wanted to pay it. This time, Wu Chen was really going to make a big splash.
"Compared with us, he is not on the same level at all."
Situ Jiannan and the others sighed and shook their heads. Whether from the comparison of cultivation, strength, financial resources or other aspects, Wu Chen had left them far behind. Now, they could hardly even see his taillights. They couldn't believe that such a person really came from their small country, the Great Qi Kingdom.
"If we want to catch up with him, we have to work hard all our lives."
Zhou Jie also felt an unprecedented pressure. Although he was an earth spirit body and was favored by nature with unlimited future, the talent Wu Chen showed now far surpassed his. Now the gap between him and Wu Chen was not narrowing, but widening.
"It's better to have someone chasing you than no one."
Li Yunxiao and the others also clenched their fists. Wu Chen had now set a good example for them, so they naturally had to continue working hard, practicing more diligently, and improving their own strength.
In private room No. 48, Milan and Mu Youxue were both shocked by the price, because they clearly remembered that Wu Chen had said before that he only had 10 million silver on him, so why would he call out a sky-high price of 15 million now
