5785 s.h.i.+ Xiu’s Tyrannical Ways
Looking at the old man who made the bid, he said leisurely, “Brother Liancheng, you’re old, you shouldn’t take this risk anymore.”
“800.000!”
s.h.i.+ Xiu quoted a price directly, raising it to the highest.
He raised it by a full 300,000 primordial stones.
Liancheng, a strong figure at the Seventh Tribulation, didn’t look too good.
He wasn’t a strong figure from the Ancient Wood Continent, but from the Black Heaven. He was also an ancestor of a force.
Within his family, there was a Universe Master at the Sixth Tribulation.
Securing the Nine Tribulations Tower, even if he couldn’t use it himself, he could give it to the Universe Master of his family.
But to really contend for it.
He couldn’t compete with the royal family of s.h.i.+ Kingdom.
Originally, he thought it was s.h.i.+ Xiu contending for it. Now, seeing s.h.i.+ Xiu bidding as if it cost nothing, he understood that the royal family of s.h.i.+ Kingdom had made a move.
It was uncontestable.
“I leh, kid, don’t end up with it in your hands!” Liancheng sneered, then closed his eyes.
Consider it giving up.
Feng Jiuwu, who was hosting the auction, also understood that there shouldn’t be anyone bidding among the strong figures in the hall.
The royal family of s.h.i.+ Kingdom was sure to win.
No one would dare to provoke them.
As for malicious bidding.
That would offend people.
In fact, Lian Xing could also contend for it.
If he had the financial resources.
The s.h.i.+ family had a vast business, but also many people.
A large group of strong figures to support.
Lian Xing was different, he was alone.
As for those disciples, not only did he not need to support them, but the disciples also had to show filial respect to him,
Moreover, the profits from the Divine Casting Workshop he established were terrifyingly high.
The key was that he didn’t need to personally craft treasures.
His disciples were enough.
Those disciples could only get thirty percent of the primordial stones.
The rest went into Lian Xing’s hands.
Still, there were countless people trying to come in before and after.
But looking at Lian Xing, there seemed to be no intention to bid.
Perhaps he wasn’t interested in this treasure.
In fact, Lian Xing had once crazily collected dozens of treasures rumored to have come from the Ancient Moon ruins, but none of them were usable.
Based on his inspection, he found some strange treasures, all of which were just decorations. Utterly useless. Consequently, he didn’t persist further, thus refraining from making a bid this time.
There was actually another person in the hall capable of bidding. And once they did, the royal family of s.h.i.+ Kingdom had to consider whether they should compete.
That person was Fan Tianfeng.
Her current status granted her the capability to contend.
However, Fan Tianfeng was currently uninterested in these treasures.
What mattered most to her was breaking through to become the Universe Master and then returning to the Qishen Temple.
She had reached a point where she no longer cared about treasures.
“Friend s.h.i.+ Xiu bids 800,000. If no one else bids, the Nine Tribulations Tower will…”
Before Feng Jiawu finished her sentence, Jian Wushuang raised his arm, signaling to wait. He was going to make a bid.
“I have a treasure to mortgage for auction!” Jian Wushuang spoke directly.
Upon seeing Jian Wushuang’s bid, many people were stunned.
Most of them didn’t even recognize Jian Wushuang.
The Universe Master of the Sixth Tribulation could see through Jian Wushuang’s cultivation and realized he was just an Emperor, causing a slight frown,
There were only two Emperors in the hall.
It would have been normal if Fan Tianfeng had bid, but for Jian Wushuang, a random Emperor, to dare to bid was truly surprising.
It left many people bewildered.
Even Sword Immortal Tonghe beside him hadn’t expected Jian Wushuang to counterbid. Lian Xing also stared at Jian Wushuang in astonishment, secretly speculating whether Jian Wushuang would really put up for auction the treasure that enhanced divine power.
He knew Jian Wushuang had the Beast G.o.d Weapon, and the value of that treasure was indeed considerable.
At least, it was a universe treasure of the Seventh Tribulation.
However, this seemed too risky.
An Emperor auctioning off strange treasures?
There was no necessity for that.
Either he was foolish or it was related to the Nine Tribulations Tower.
“Could it be?” Fan Tianfeng looked at Jian Wushuang.
She was the one in the hall who understood Jian Wushuang the best.
Also hailing from the Qishen Temple, Fan Tianfeng couldn’t help but admire Jian
Wushuang’s strength.
Despite having countless resources for cultivation, she was still no match for Jian
Wushuang.
At this moment, Jian Wushuang’s bid probably indicated he had truly seen through the secrets of the Nine Tribulations Tower.
s.h.i.+ Xiu, seeing that he was actually contending with an Emperor, s.h.i.+fted his gaze, speculating about Jian Wushuang’s background and the powerful figure behind him.
He couldn’t believe that an Emperor could discern the uniqueness of the Nine Tribulations
Tower.
At this moment, the powerful figures of the s.h.i.+ Kingdom’s royal family also informed s.h.i.+ Xiu of Jian Wushuang’s ident.i.ty.
s.h.i.+ Xiu realized the connection between Jian Wushuang and his grandson, which piqued his interest even more.
After a brief investigation, he learned about the powerful individuals Jian Wushuang had
befriended.
The newly ascended Universe Master of the Seventh Tribulation, Yun Zhi.
The reclusive Sword Immortal Tonghe, Universe Master of the Sixth Tribulation, residing in
the s.h.i.+ Kingdom.
The number one Divine Forgemaster of the Ancient Wood Continent, Lian Xing.
The more he inquired, the more surprised s.h.i.+ Xiu became.
Jian Wushuang, a mere son-in-law of Yue Kingdom, had actually befriended such super
strong individuals simultaneously.
And it was indeed true.
Due to his affiliation with Yue Kingdom, Jian Wushuang first befriended Queen Yun Zhi.
Subsequently, through Queen Yun Zhi, he got to know Sword Immortal Tonghe.
Their relations.h.i.+p deepened as both practiced the Sword Dao.
As for Lian Xing, grat.i.tude went to Fan Tianfeng.
But it also owed to his own efforts.
If his strength hadn’t been extraordinary and gained Lian Xing’s favor, he wouldn’t have
been recommended to attend such auctions.
Before becoming a son-in-law of Yue Kingdom, Jian Wushuang had already defeated s.h.i.+ Kingdom’s genius, s.h.i.+ Jiu.
It wasn’t just luck; the most crucial factor was his strength.
