Chapter 55 - 55 100 Billion, I Want a Discount!
55 100 Billion, I Want a Discount!
“In the past, what kind of price would an Imperial Dao supreme treasure like the Universe Origin Fruit be auctioned for?” After a moment of observation, Lin Wudao asked Mu Jiutian, who was beside him.
“That’s not for sure. Imperial Dao supreme treasures are only effective for those above the Heavenly Emperor who have reached the extreme in the Human Dao or the Imperial Dao, and each of them has a different effect.”
“Ultimately, their biggest use is to help the Heavenly Emperor cultivate the Imperial Dao golden body. At the extreme of the Human Dao, one will form a Human Dao golden body; At the extreme of the Imperial Dao, one will form an Imperial Dao golden body; At the extreme of the Heavenly Dao, one will form a Heavenly Dao golden body. Only after the three golden bodies are combined into one can celestial energy be produced and form the immortal body.”
“The last time an Imperial Dao supreme treasure appeared, it seemed to have been sold for a sky-high price of 80 billion catties of supreme-grade divine source…” Mu Jiutian thought for a moment and replied.
80 billion?
Lin Wudao nodded slightly when he heard the price.
He continued to pay attention to the fierce competition in the auction house.
At this moment, the bidding for the Universe Origin Fruit among the three heaven rooms had already reached the climax.
“I offer 40 billion catties of the supreme-grade divine source,” A roar suddenly came from heaven room number three. It seemed that he was determined to win.
However, the other two rooms were also unwilling to show weakness.
“50 billion.”
“60 billion.”
Two consecutive sounds rang out.
Whoosh!
In an instant, everyone’s eyes fell on the number one private room in unison. It was obvious that whoever was in the room must have an even stronger foundation.
“70 billion,” After a few moments of silence, a deep voice was heard from heaven room number two.
“80 billion.”
The calm bidding continued.
As soon as this price was out, the surrounding crowd immediately burst into an uproar.
“The last Imperial Dao supreme treasure was auctioned off at this price, right?” Someone exclaimed.
“The Universe Origin Fruit this time is of much better quality than the last Imperial Dao supreme treasure. If there is nothing unexpected, the price will definitely exceed eighty billion.”
“Wow, among the ancient forces in the Heavenly Emperor realm, I’m afraid there aren’t many who can take out 80 billion catties of supreme-grade divine source.”
“Heaven room number one has the greatest hope of winning this bid!”
“He should be able to get it within 100 billion.”
…
The crowd was in a heated discussion.
All this time, Lin Wudao had been watching coldly from the side.
“85 billion,” In the face of the high bid from heaven room number one, heaven room number two seemed to be struggling. After a moment of hesitation, he gritted his teeth and bid a high price of 85 billion.
“88 billion.”
“F*ck, I don’t want it anymore!” An angry roar came from heaven room number two.
Seeing this, a wave of sighs came from the crowd. They had originally wanted to watch a show, but who knew that heaven room number two would back down?
“It seems that the Universe Origin Fruit will definitely belong to heaven room number one this time,” Everyone exclaimed.
Even if the most ancient Heavenly Emperor force could take out 88 billion catties of the supreme-grade divine source, they would lose 30% of their foundation.
“Are there any higher bids?” Ji Ruyue asked indifferently as she looked around the auction podium when she saw that heaven room number two had given up bidding.
Upon hearing this, there was a moment of silence.
Facing a high price of 88 billion, no one had the strength to raise the bid.
On the other hand, a mysterious smile appeared on Lin Wudao’s face.
“Bid 90 billion catties of the supreme-grade divine source,” He suddenly said to Mu Jiutian without turning his head.
What?
When he heard this, Mu Jiutian was stunned at first, but then he revealed a shocked expression.
“Brother Dongfang, you just said that… You want me to raise the bid?”
“Yes,” Lin Wudao gently nodded.
“But I only have 10 billion catties of supreme-grade divine source. Now, the price has soared to 88 billion. I can’t afford it with my meager financial resources.”
Mu Jiutian’s face was bitter. Of course, he craved the Imperial Dao supreme treasure, but in the face of the sky-high price of 88 billion, he could only look on helplessly. That was not something he could touch.
Lin Wudao’s expression remained calm.
“Don’t worry, I have a way.”
Huh? He had a way?
Mu Jiutian was completely dumbfounded.
He could not understand where Lin Wudao’s confidence came from.
“Brother Dongfang, this… If I raise the price and really win the bid, I’ll be expelled from the City of Heavens forever if I can’t produce that much supreme-grade divine source.”
“I know. If you want this Universe Origin Fruit and trust me, then continue bidding. Otherwise, forget it.”
The other party’s calm voice slowly sounded.
Ha!
Mu Jiutian gasped. He was struggling internally.
At this time, Ji Ruyue was already asking for the second time on the stage, “Heaven room number one has bid 88 billion catties of supreme-grade divine source. Is there any higher bid?”
When her voice fell, the venue was still silent.
“88 billion going three times. If there’s no…”
“I offer 90 billion catties of supreme-grade divine source.”
Boom!
Just when everyone thought that the Universe Origin Fruit would go to heaven room number one, a roar suddenly rang out from below.
Whoosh!
In an instant, everyone’s eyes fell on Mu Jiutian.
At this moment, he had become the center of attention.
Even Qian Ruming’s eyes widened in disbelief.
“Brother Mu, you… That’s 90 billion. Are you mad?” Qian Ruming said in extreme shock.
He couldn’t believe that those words had come from Mu Jiutian.
According to his understanding over the years, Mu Jiutian did not have such wealth and could not take out 90 billion catties of supreme-grade divine source.
“Huh? It’s Mu Jiutian?”
“He’s just a mere guide of the City of Heavens, and he actually has such wealth? It’s really unbelievable!”
“F*ck, he couldn’t have just randomly bid, right?”
“Hmph, who would dare to randomly bid given the rules of the Nine Heavens Tower? He will be permanently expelled from the City of Heavens, okay?”
“It seems that this guide has hidden very well.”
…
Everyone present knew Mu Jiutian.
Therefore, when he called out the sky-high price of 90 billion, the surrounding crowd instantly burst into an uproar. Countless disbelieving eyes swallowed him like a tide.
Mu Jiutian was also filled with fear.
At this point, he could only pray in his heart that Lin Wudao really had a way, Otherwise, he didn’t dare to imagine the consequences.
At the same time, when Mu Jiutian called out the price of 90 billion catties of the supreme-grade divine source, Ji Ruyue, who was on the auction podium, also looked at him with a slightly surprised look.
90 billion catties of Supreme-grade divine source was nothing to her, but to a First Heaven power, it was a sky-high price.
It was not something that any force could take out.
“Mu Jiutian has bid 90 billion catties of supreme-grade divine source. Are there any higher bids?”
“92 billion,” There was a long silence before another bid was made by heaven room number one.
Seeing this, Mu Jiutian’s body trembled, and he looked at Lin Wudao again.
“Brother Dongfang.”
“Continue.”
“93 billion,” Mu Jiutian used all his strength to bid this price.
Even the sound of a pin drop could be heard in the Nine Heavens Tower.
The atmosphere of the scene was extremely tense.
“95 billion.”
“Just raise the bid to 100 billion,” Lin Wudao’s calm voice continued.
“100 billion.”
At this moment, Mu Jiutian went all out. He immediately called out a sky-high price that made everyone present feel suffocated.
Whoosh!
The crowd shifted their attention to Lin Wudao at the same time.
They could all tell that Mu Jiutian was following the other party’s instructions and bidding.
“Who is that? How could he have such strong financial resources?”
“I don’t know…”
“It looks like Mu Jiutian has really found a big customer this time.”
“Tsk, tsk, 100 billion. Such a foundation is truly terrifying.”
…
Everyone’s focus was now on one more thing.
“100 billion catties of the supreme-grade divine source. Is there a higher bid?” Ji Ruyue asked as usual.
There was complete silence.
“100 billion going once.”
“100 billion going twice.”
“100 billion going three times.”
“Congratulations to this distinguished guest for successfully bidding for the Universe Origin Fruit.”
…
Thump!
Ji Ruyue made the final decision.
Upon hearing this, Mu Jiutian’s heart sank into the abyss. He used all his strength to turn his head and look at Lin Wudao, fully expectant of the method the other party had come up with.
Lin Wudao did not panic at all.
“My esteemed guest, please make the payment. 100 billion supreme-grade divine sources.”
At this moment, a red-robed elder with an extraordinary aura came forward with a jade box in his hands.
“Brother Dongfang…” Mu Jiutian’s voice was trembling.
“Can I get a discount?”
A discount?
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was slightly stunned.
But immediately after, they stared at Lin Wudao without blinking.
One had to know that in the City of Heavens, one’s status and position were determined by the grade of their talismans. Anyone who had the authority to get a discount was a great figure.
Even Ji Ruyue’s expression turned solemn when she heard about the request for a discount.
“Of course, sir. please show me your talisman. The Nine Heavens Tower will give you a corresponding discount according to the rules of the City of Heavens.”
The red-robed old man was extremely respectful. He couldn’t afford to offend someone who had the right to enjoy discounts.
“Brother Dongfang, you… You have a discount talisman?” Mu Jiutian stuttered.
Originally, in his mind, Lin Wudao was just an ordinary person who had just obtained a talisman. Who knew that he actually had the right to enjoy discounts?
All of this had completely exceeded Mu Jiutian’s expectations.
Lin Wudao was indifferent to his shock.
Whoosh!
Under the gaze of countless people, he flipped his hand and handed the purple supreme talisman to the red-robed elder.
Thump!
The moment he saw the talisman, the red-robed elder knelt in fear as if he had seen something terrifying.
There was an unprecedented fear in his eyes.
