Asura Mad Emperor-Chapter 742: Mysterious Ice Immortal Vine

"Ten thousand? Who is that, they can't be serious! The starting bid is ten million, what are they joining the excitement with just ten thousand Mysterious Crystals!"

"Purple Mysterious Crystals! Not ten thousand Mysterious Crystals!" A cultivator reminded.

"What, ten thousand Purple Mysterious Crystals!"

"That... that means it's... a billion Mysterious Crystals!"

Everyone instantly came to their senses.

What's more crucial, at this moment, the crowd realized that the bid hadn't come from the main hall, but from a VIP room on the top floor.

"It's from VIP Room Number 68!"

"Do Great Emperor powerhouses also need this Blazing Flame Grass?"

Everyone was dumbfounded.

The Blazing Flame Grass indeed has the effect of improving one's realm without damaging the foundation or potential, but this was only effective for those below the Supreme Saint level.

Why would a Great Emperor fuss over it?

The bidder was Qinchuan. The Blazing Flame Grass was indeed rare to come across and could elevate Huo'er's cultivation level by a notch.

Qinchuan, however, had no time to pay attention to the reactions of the crowd below, as Ji Huo'er was clinging to his hand, continuously shaking it in gratitude.

Since the last stargazing talk at Thousand Fox Mountain, Ji Huo'er had become increasingly "pushy".

Maybe it was because of the height difference between them, as Qinchuan now seemed like a porcelain doll in Ji Huo'er's eyes, bold enough to lean in, and give his cheek a fierce nibble.

"Thank you, big brother!"

As the Fire Attribute Technique was one of the most domineering cultivation techniques on the Divine Wilderness Continent, those proficient in them outnumbered those with Yin attributes. Therefore, the price of Blazing Flame Grass was likely to be higher than that of Netherworld Flower, and ten thousand Purple Mysterious Crystals was not yet the limit—there was still room for bidding.

But with a Great Emperor powerhouse joining the fray, who would dare to compete in the bidding and seek their own death?

Thus, with just a single bid increase, the Blazing Flame Grass was acquired by Qinchuan.

Soon after, Elder You personally delivered the Blazing Flame Grass to the VIP room.

The auction continued with various attribute spiritual herbs and sacred grasses making their appearance.

Upon seeing some rare divine strain spirit medicines, Qinchuan did not hesitate and decisively bid, securing them.

Though these sacred medicines were useless to him, he could use them to enhance the power of Tianyuan Nation.

"It's Room 68 again!"

Every time Qinchuan bid, the many cultivators below no longer dared to continue bidding.

If it had happened once or twice, it might have been fine, but VIP Room Number 68 seemed interested in everything.

All this stuff was clearly of no use to Great Emperors, so why bid for so much of it?

This caused many cultivators to be outraged and very angry.

However, they could only brood over it in silence, not daring to do anything.

"Hmph, remember to win a lot, so this young master can later reward those under me," Ming Qi mocked from the adjacent VIP room, looking askance at Qinchuan and the others through the viewing platform, his expression laced with cold sarcasm.

Clearly, he considered Qinchuan and the others as his prey, confident that the treasures they won would ultimately fall into his pocket.

"You pauper, can't afford to bid because you have no Mysterious Crystals? If you're short, you can ask big brother to lend you some!" Ji Huo'er, experienced in quarreling and bickering, said with her head held high, directly clashing with Ming Qi.

"Hehe, so defiant even on the brink of death. I hope you don't run away with your tails between your legs after the auction," Ming Qi said arrogantly, standing there with contempt, unabashedly displaying his pride and looking at everyone.

"But, this young master has already locked onto you. Even if you run, you won't escape, hehehe…" Ming Qi laughed wickedly.

"If you are looking for death, then come," Qinchuan remained calm throughout.

Since the Spirit Clan had found mostly heavenly treasures, most items in this auction were such treasures, but there were also a few Dao artifacts and high-rank divine power spells.

Divine powers and magical treasures held little attraction for Qinchuan, who never competed for them.

The Spirit Clan's auction had an abundance of items for sale, far too many and rich in variety.

At first, the attendees were bidding with Mysterious Crystals, but as it progressed, they began to make offers with Magical Treasures and Spiritual Medicine. Some treasures could no longer be measured by the value of Mysterious Crystals.

"Next up for sale is a segment of the Mysterious Ice Immortal Vine!"

As a woman on the stage unveiled the red cloth covering the jade box, a segment of the Divine Vine as thick as an arm and half a person's height appeared, emitting a spray of colorful radiant light.

"Is that actually the Mysterious Ice Immortal Vine?!"

Qinchuan's pupils constricted as he stared intently at the segment of Divine Vine within the jade box.

"Indeed, it's the very Mysterious Ice Immortal Vine recorded in the Ancient Books!"

"I offer one piece of Thousands Colors Stone, one Ninth-Rank Divine Beast Demon Core, and one Xuan Yuan Grass for exchange!"

Qinchuan placed his bid decisively.

The Mysterious Ice Immortal Vine was one of the Heavenly Materials Treasures he had been pursuing to awaken the Innate Soul.

He had once ventured deep into the polar regions for tens of thousands of years in search of it but had ultimately failed. Now, to his surprise, it was appearing at this auction.

"Boom 68 strikes again!"

Atop the great hall, the cultivators who wanted to bid were once again electrified, a chorus of discontent filling the air.

Just when everyone thought the segment of Divine Vine would go to the occupant of booth 68 with a Great Emperor bidding for it…

A deep voice suddenly echoed out of nowhere.

"Merely three Heavenly Treasures for the Mysterious Ice Immortal Vine?"

"I offer three pieces of Thousands Colors Stone, three Ninth-Rank Divine Beast Demon Cores, and three Xuan Yuan Grass for exchange"—

This person offered the same materials as Qinchuan but tripled the quantity.

"Finally, a Great Emperor makes their move!"

Seeing another powerhouse from a different booth making an offer, the crowd in the hall was delighted at the misfortune of others.

They had long been exasperated by booth 68, yet no one dared to compete in bidding. Now that someone was contesting booth 68, they were naturally happy to see it happen.

The bid came from booth one, and everyone turned their gaze in anticipation, hoping that the person inside would seize the treasure from booth 68. freewёbnoνel.com

It would be, in essence, a collective sigh of relief for them all.

The Mysterious Ice Immortal Vine was no ordinary item, and of course, Qinchuan was not naive enough to believe that it could be purchased with just these offerings.

"I offer ten Imperial Yuan Pills, ten Xuan Ming Grasses, thirty Huangyuan Stones…"

Qinchuan listed off his materials methodically, neither hurried nor slow.

The voice from booth one rose again, cutting him off abruptly.

"You don't need to list them. I offer one Ninth-Grade Divine Artifact."

"Boom!"

The voice erupted, and the crowd immediately burst into an uproar.

"What, a Divine Artifact!"

"Did a Divine Artifact actually appear?!"

Not just many of the cultivators in the hall, but even several indigenous Great Emperors from the booths shone with eager eyes, closely watching booth one.

For different individuals, the Mysterious Ice Immortal Vine and a Divine Artifact had different values.

Take the Mysterious Ice Immortal Vine; because it was excessively precious, ordinary people could not Refine it. Even the highest-ranked alchemists of the Divine Wilderness Continent could not turn it into an Elixir.

Thus, for those from the Lower Realm, it was a Supreme Treasure that was only to be seen, not used.

But for Qinchuan or certain individuals from the Upper Realm, it was a treasure beyond price.

On the contrary, a Divine Artifact held more allure for the many Great Emperors of the Lower Realm.

"With a Divine Artifact in play, who else would dare to compete for it!"

The cultivators in the hall buzzed with discussion, expressing admiration at witnessing the emergence of a Divine Artifact and feeling a thrill of excitement.

"Now, let's see what that booth 68 has to contend with," sneered many strong cultivators who longed for the Sacred Medicines Qinchuan had fiercely competed for, casting their gazes towards Qinchuan's booth 68.
