A prodigal auction
Oh, now I remember, you, the prodigal, seemed to have said before that you wanted to buy all the auction houses, and then bundle them together for a super auction... But, that was then, right? And now? Times have changed! The situation is tense and it seems that a fight to the death is about to take place, and at this moment, you still have the mind to care about the auction
This... really made the people in the venue at a loss for words, especially the name of the auction mentioned by Chu Tianxiao... The word "prodigal" always gave them an ominous premonition...
However, premonitions are premonitions, and facts are facts! The current tense situation is the result of interests, and it cannot be eased by Chu Tianxiao's inexplicable jokes... Therefore, after a brief moment of shock, the giants of the major forces in the Savage River Basin all sneered...
"This prodigal son is unaware of his own imminent death... As expected, he is just a loser who got lucky and took advantage of his good father to bully others!"
"You can't even recognize the current situation, and you still think that we are here to show your support? Hahaha! I hope you can still think so when I kill you later! How naive!"
"He is just a young boy, a fool. Everyone, there is no need to hesitate any longer. This guy only has this trick. Let's kill him quickly! Take away the treasure and then divide it!"
"Great! Everyone in the ghost realm is ready!"
It is impossible for anyone who has been in the Savage River Basin for so long not to have anger. Before, Chu Tianxiao "booked the whole place" to show off, which took away the momentum and ruined the normal auction. Then he was played a trick on them and was completely made a fool of... How could they not have resentment in their hearts
Therefore, now, the strong men from the hostile forces have begun to look at Chu Tianxiao as if he were a fool. Powerful auras burst out in the field one after another, and the Sumeru Ring flashed continuously. Countless people drew out various weapons, just waiting for someone to take the first step. A group of "hungry wolves" will follow closely and tear everyone in the Wolf Domain, including the prodigal son who was so cool before, into pieces!
"Chu Baijia, you can only go so far!"
Countless people gnashed their teeth and were ready to attack, however... facing such a tense situation, even Lang Yu and others had sweat on their foreheads and were ready to face a powerful enemy, but Chu Tianxiao still looked indifferent. As soon as he finished speaking, those people with "looking at an idiot" expressions in the field suddenly felt that... maybe they were the real idiots
Then Chu Tianxiao said slowly, "I booked the whole place today, and I bought a little too much stuff. It's too troublesome to transport it back, so I plan to hold a family auction here and sell all these odds and ends to save trouble!"
As he spoke, he picked up the grand prize of a low-level auction—an old-fashioned little sword—and weighed it casually, then said, "Let's take this as a whet... Ancient Fantasy Sword, a treasure of the Tongxuan upper realm, can be used to perform fantasy swordsmanship when fighting against the enemy, so it's a pretty good thing... Starting price, one Spiritual Nirvana Pill! Each bid must not be less than one Spiritual Nirvana Pill!"
After these words were spoken, those powerful warriors who were ready to take action suddenly paused, and their thoughts almost couldn't catch up!
This prodigal son...what did he say
Starting price... One Spiritual Nirvana Pill
…
…
The so-called Lingnie Pill is actually the most common kind of elixir in the vast land of Shenzhou. Although it has a miraculous effect on warming the meridians, it is ultimately just a basic thing, a thing for alchemists to try their hand at, and at best it is only a first-grade elixir...
And now... this prodigal son is using a Lingnie Pill as the reserve price to auction a Tongxuan Upper Realm treasure? Or is it an ancient fantasy sword that has "special sword skills" and is the finale of this low-level auction
Is this...really
For a moment, many people showed disbelief in their eyes. At this price, what's the difference between giving it away for free
But soon, some people reacted, such as those cunning giants, who saw through Chu Tianxiao's intention at a glance and quickly mocked him.
"Humph! So what if the reserve price is very low? It's just an auction tactic. Don't be fooled. No matter how low the reserve price is, it will still be the same as the high price when it is called up later! This person just wants to delay time, or use this method to undermine our fighting spirit! To put it bluntly, he is just teasing us!"
After hearing this, those small forces and independent cultivators who were quite tempted immediately came to their senses and thought, "Right, if the price is raised, we can still see it but not eat it. We were almost fooled!"
After figuring this out, the group of people immediately showed resentment on their faces - you prodigal son, you have teased us again and again, this cannot be tolerated! Fight hard, follow the big forces to rob, at least there will be soup to drink, right
However, in response to this, Chu Tianxiao just smiled faintly and added slowly, which immediately made those old foxes' faces change drastically!
"Oh... I forgot to mention that in order to prevent some people from being unable to afford the auction, there is a rule for the auction."
"This auction... we will only accept Soul Nirvana Pills. We will ignore all other bids! Each auction is a rush bid, and each bid is limited to half a quarter of an hour. If you miss the time limit, you will not be accepted!"
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar! You know, Ling Ni Dan is only a first-grade elixir, and the big forces don't think much of it, but its high cost performance makes it a favorite of those small and medium forces, and... This is the Savage River Basin! Here, killing, robbing, and cheating are simply daily affairs... Some big forces have face and are a little restrained, but those small forces, independent cultivators... definitely don't have so many concerns, and the small fish eat the shrimps, the shrimps have Ling Ni Dan, so the small fish will naturally have it too!
Therefore… If the Soul Nirvana Pill is really used as the “currency” of this prodigal auction, then the big forces will be at a disadvantage due to “insufficient reserves”, while the rest will all have a chance
Not to mention that Chu Tianxiao unexpectedly limited the time of each auction! In this way, doesn't it mean... Strike first to gain the upper hand
There were no fools in the field. Regardless of the big forces, the small and medium forces were immediately tempted. They exchanged glances with each other and quickly turned the ship around. Huh? What did you say? We should respond to the call of the big forces and follow them to grab treasures and eat meat? Please, this is a hard bone to chew. If there is no other way, who is willing to risk their lives to grab treasures? Now that there is such a good opportunity to take, who would want to follow those guys to lick blood on the tip of the knife!
"I'll give you... five Soul Nirvana Pills!"
After hesitating for an unknown amount of time, someone in the room finally yelled with a red face!
This sound is like a signal...
The situation on the field took a sharp turn for the worse!
It was as if a gate had been opened, with voices coming one after another, and soon the atmosphere became hot!
Because the Soul Nirvana Pills are crushed and dissolved in water before use, generally the more they are, the better the effect... Therefore, those independent cultivators and powerful people from small forces carefully searched the Xumi Ring and were surprised to find that the Soul Nirvana Pills they used in the Refining Realm were still in stock!
"I have nine Soul Nirvana Pills, I can give it a try!"
"Back then, because my aptitude was too poor, I bought some extra Soul Nirvana Pills in order to better nourish my meridians... I never thought that I would need them now..."
"Hahahaha... Last time I killed a True Refiner and took away 25 Soul Nirvana Pills! I'm going to be rich, I'm going to be rich!"
"Who would have thought that one day we would be richer than those big powers!"
"Yeah, I was just here to join in the fun. How could I compete with those big powers for the auction items? I don't have the capital to do that! But now... Oh my God, this day will definitely go down in history, it will!"
"…Cousin, are you a fool? At this moment, what are you still talking about with these idle people? The hourglass displayed by Chu Baijia is about to run out, why don't you raise the price quickly?"
"Oh, that's right! I'll give you seven Soul Nirvana Pills!"
"I'll give you nine!"
"Fuck! I'll give you fifteen!"
Seeing the atmosphere in the field become heated, the two giant forces and several second-tier forces were all dumbfounded. They gritted their teeth and rushed to tell each other, saying loudly, "This is all Chu Baijia's conspiracy! He is trying to undermine our fighting spirit and divide us! Don't be fooled!"
But these words had little effect, and most of what they received was a sneer or a mockery - even a fool knew that this was Chu Tianxiao's strategy, and he was indeed using us, but you said it so nicely, isn't it just to make us charge into battle and serve as cannon fodder for you
They all have ulterior motives, so don't laugh at the second brother! Look at Chu Tianxiao, although he used tricks, he was really willing to sell it. If we auction things off in this way, we can all get a share. But what if we follow you? Charge into battle and lick blood on the tip of the knife, let alone really cripple the Wolf Territory and seize the treasures, how will we distribute them? Will you big forces give it to us
Stop joking! Instead of expecting your "pity" at that time, it is better to act decisively and get the benefits in front of you first! As for what I offended... I'm kidding, this is a wild river area, intrigue and deception, it's the norm! You want to punish me? Okay, I'll hold on to the thigh of Wolf Territory!
To survive in the wild river basin, emotional intelligence is a must, and the bottom line must be trampled... So this group of people have no psychological burden at all, but devote themselves to this unique "prodigal auction"...
Seeing this, the big powers were almost furious! Seeing this group of people "defection" to the enemy, the power of both sides was reversed, and they still had their own evil intentions, fearing that if they made a move first, others would take advantage of them...
Seeing this, no matter what others said, the giants in the Gold and Ghost Realms had already seen clearly in their hearts - they had lost this time.
Not to mention that if they take action now, the small forces that "raise their heads and minds" and the powerful independent cultivators will definitely "turn against them", not to mention that some of them are ready to make a move... Even if they can really make a move with all their strength, even with the help of the eldest prince... But facing the current situation, the best they can do is to fight to the point of mutual destruction...
And this is definitely not what the two giants want - forces like them will do their utmost to preserve themselves, because once they suffer too much damage, they will never be greeted with comforting smiles from their allies, but will definitely be... swallowed up and annexed!
"Chu Tianxiao... Who is he? Why is he so willing to do this?"
"... It's unbelievable. Most of those treasures were the top items at the auction. Chu Tianxiao spent at least hundreds of millions of spirit coins to save up such a fortune, but... he did this. Doesn't he feel any pain at all?"
"... Even if I had tens of thousands of Soul Nirvana Pills, I wouldn't be able to buy anything here. But now... It's a waste! A waste!"
"How can there be such a person in the world!"
"This is an open conspiracy! We all know what he is planning, and we can see his plan clearly, but let me ask you, if you were in his place, who among you could spend hundreds of millions of spirit coins without blinking an eye like this prodigal son, and then... lose without blinking an eye?"
"… What's in this loser's head? His thinking is completely different from ours?"
“… The loss was not unfair…”
The big forces sighed and clasped their fists to each other, all looking extremely helpless - if they were seen like this by the allies of the major divine families, they would definitely feel the same way. Yes, Chu Baijia is a monster, he can do anything, and money is no different from paper to him...
However, the people in the major forces are also decisive. They know that the situation is irreversible... So, instead of wasting time here, they might as well find a way to collect a batch of Ling Nirvana Pills. Even if they are a few steps late due to haste, the strength of their own major forces is there, so they should...
Still able to drink soup...
Bar
With this thought in mind, except for the two giants of Ghost Domain and Gold Domain, who knew that they could not get along with Wolf Domain and therefore did not participate in this "spendthrift auction" with gloomy faces, the other second-tier major forces all turned their heads...
The two giants could only watch the now-hot auction with bitterness, and Chu Tianxiao, who seemed to be the favorite of the people...
For a moment, they felt as if they were in a dream, and this scene was full of unreality...
Isn’t it
Think about these two giants, who were able to call the wind and rain just a moment ago, and had gathered all the forces in the Savage River Basin under their "command". They were about to attack the Wolf Territory and seize its treasures, or even destroy this unruly old force!
How high-spirited they were at that moment!
But the next moment...
They seemed to have fallen into a lonely island in the wind and rain, where no one cared about them. The two giants seemed to have become old men in their twilight years, alone and helpless...
There is a world of difference between the two.

“Chu Tianxiao, why do you have such strong financial resources? As far as I know, the Purple Clothes Building has not yet opened the third pavilion! Chu Tianxiao, how could... Hey! I lost my composure.”
After learning everything from Gong Han, the eldest prince knew very well that this time... he was doomed!
