King of Creation-Chapter 1581 - 1566: Ye Zhen’s Embarrassment

Watching Ling Wangke eagerly preparing to grab a great opportunity, Ye Zhen was infected by Ling Wangke’s enthusiasm and straightened his posture. The Five Immortals Island’s annual auction event had such a large reputation, the finale treasure should not be disappointing.

"Distinguished guests, in previous years, the first finale treasure of our Five Immortals Island’s annual auction has always been the Spirit Void Fruit.

This year is no exception, the first finale treasure is still the Spirit Void Fruit," the auctioneer’s voice echoed.

Upon hearing the words ’Spirit Void Fruit’, Ling Wangke’s eyes began to shine, and instantly, Ye Zhen understood the real purpose of Ling Wangke attending this annual auction—it was for the Spirit Void Fruit.

This made Ye Zhen quietly rejoice in his wise decision.

He did not plan to give the Spirit Void Fruit to Ling Qianbi.

Originally, Ye Zhen also intended to give Ling Qianbi the Spirit Void Fruit to aid her cultivation, even though Human Warriors taking the Spirit Void Fruit couldn’t enhance their bloodline, the boost in cultivation speed was tremendously beneficial.

However, for most martial artists, it was not possible to indulge in using such a precious item as the Spirit Void Fruit for daily cultivation. Most of the time, the Spirit Void Fruit was reserved for comprehending the Heaven and Earth Laws and breaking through bottlenecks.

Later, after careful consideration, Ye Zhen decided not to give the Spirit Void Fruit to Ling Qianbi.

Although Ling Qianbi now obeyed Ye Zhen, she was essentially an outsider. If the fact that Ye Zhen possessed a large quantity of Spirit Void Fruit was leaked, not only would Ling Wangke try to take Ye Zhen down regardless of the consequences, but even Dao Realm Experts from all over would come to hunt Ye Zhen.

The demand for Spirit Void Fruits among Dao Realm Experts is immense.

However, at that moment of Ye Zhen’s relief, Ling Wangke’s expression turned extremely unpleasant due to the auctioneer’s words.

"Here, our Five Immortals Island’s Ten Thousand Treasure Auction House can only apologize to everyone, because due to personal reasons of our supplier, the number of Spirit Void Fruits we can auction this year has decreased by... eighty percent!"

Ling Wangke suddenly stood up with an incredulous look, "How could the quantity reduce so much? By eighty percent?"

"How could the quantity of Spirit Void Fruits reduce so drastically? I’ve been attending the Five Immortals Island’s annual auction just for the Spirit Void Fruit each time," Ling Wangke exclaimed.

Not only Ling Wangke, but at the same moment, hundreds of similar questioning voices, and even angry roars, echoed through the auction hall.

Instantly, at least six Dao Realm auras appeared in the auction hall, signaling discontent.

The forehead of the auction host instantly began to sweat, hurriedly explaining.

"Mainly because our previously agreed largest supplier encountered an unexpected situation. As a result, our Five Immortals Island exhausted every effort to secure only twenty percent of the usual auction quantity of Spirit Void Fruits.

Perhaps, next year’s quantity will be even less. Because our Five Immortals Island’s supplier does not have any chance of recovering supply in the short term. Nevertheless, our Five Immortals Island will do our utmost to expand the sources!" 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

The auctioneer’s words were like a cold wave, leaving the hearts of those angry martial artists bleak and cold.

The possibility of not restoring supplies in the short term, and the potential further reduction in next year’s numbers!

The implications caused a shiver of dread in the hearts of many martial artists urgently in need of Spirit Void Fruits.

Under such circumstances, the transaction price of Spirit Void Fruits is bound to soar several folds, possibly even more, over the previous high prices.

Moreover, with fewer wolves and more meat, the bidding will become even more fierce.

Most importantly, even if you have Spirit Stones, you might not necessarily win the bid for a Spirit Void Fruit.

The Spirit Void Fruit is an extremely rare and needed cultivation resource for martial artists, especially those with advanced cultivation.

The output from the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds is limited, but not overly scarce.

It’s just that the places in the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds where Spirit Void Fruits are produced, are all controlled by extremely powerful forces, rarely circulating in the market.

Previously, the Five Immortals Island’s annual auction was the place where Spirit Void Fruits could be seen circulating, but now even Five Immortals Island has lost its supply sources, and it has plummeted by eighty percent.

How are they supposed to survive?

But the issue is, Five Immortals Island’s supply still has at least twenty percent left.

Therefore, as the auctioneer announced the start of bidding, Ling Wangke, who was earlier furious, charged forward like an angry bull, eyes reddened, ready for an intense fight.

This scene made Ye Zhen feel a bit embarrassed.

Because Ye Zhen was indeed the mastermind behind all this, as he had stolen the entire Spirit Void Fruit Tree Garden from the Three-eyed Demon Clan.

Completely cut off their lineage.

It seems that the so-called supply channel for Five Immortals Island was the Three-eyed Demon Clan.

And Ye Zhen was convinced that there was no possibility of this supply channel recovering.

One can imagine that the future prices of Spirit Void Fruits will certainly skyrocket, perhaps doubling or more.

The reason is simple, those million Spirit Void Fruit Trees are all currently lying dormant inside Ye Zhen’s Mirage Dragon Pearl. Without a suitable Little World to place them in, there would be no production in the near term.

In this auction, the number of Spirit Void Fruits offered by Five Immortals Island is only a hundred and nine.

In other words, before this, Five Immortals Island could auction at least five hundred Spirit Void Fruits each year, which has now directly decreased to a hundred.

The additional nine were put in by Ye Zhen to test the waters.

Ye Zhen attended this auction prepared for a massive expense, bringing five Spirit Void Fruits to recoup some funds, unexpectedly hitting the jackpot.

The only thing Ye Zhen was relieved about was his consistent cautious approach, whether bidding for Spirit Void Fruits or offering them as a bounty, was all done using the transformed form of the Demon Marshal’s Avatar to deposit them for auction.

Originally, nine Spirit Void Fruits weren’t much, but now with the significant reduction in the number of Spirit Void Fruits offered by Five Immortals Island, it’s a different story.

The hundred and nine Spirit Void Fruits will be auctioned in eleven rounds, ten fruits per round, a total of eleven rounds, the last group consisting of nine fruits.

In previous years, there were fifty rounds of auctions, the bidding was intense but manageable, with more rounds, there would be opportunities, so no one was in a hurry.

Ultimately, all Dao Realm Experts would secure at least one group, but this year, it was evidently different.

From the first group, the competition was fierce.

To say the least, for the first group, Ling Wangke beside Ye Zhen grimaced as he continuously raised his bids.

For ten Spirit Void Fruits, the starting bid was fifty thousand High Grade Spiritual Stones, with each increase not less than five thousand High Grade Spiritual Stones.

But for the first group of Spirit Void Fruits, within just twenty breaths, the price had multiplied tenfold, reaching fifty thousand High Grade Spiritual Stones per group.

And in previous years, the highest bid price for Spirit Void Fruits was only fifty-three thousand High Grade Spiritual Stones per group.

The martial artists participating in the auction, including Ling Wangke, understood that the real brutal bidding had only just begun.

Ultimately, the first group of Spirit Void Fruits was sold for a sky-high price of ninety-seven thousand High Grade Spiritual Stones.

Subsequently, with each group, the transaction price of Spirit Void Fruits got higher.

The transaction price for the tenth group of Spirit Void Fruits astonishingly reached one hundred twenty-four thousand High Grade Spiritual Stones per group.

And when the eleventh group of nine Spirit Void Fruits sold for an astonishing sky-high price of one hundred thirty-three thousand High Grade Spiritual Stones, even Ye Zhen felt a bit embarrassed.

He was indeed such a villain for causing all of this!
