Miracle Throne-Chapter 574: Bidding
West Sea City’s guards were more strict than Chu Tian had imagined!
Therefore he had to find a suitable reason to approach the West Sea City’s City Lord.
West Sea City was greatly different from the Blood Eagle King’s camp. Chu Tian could walk into the Blood Eagle King’s camp mainly because the Blood Eagle King himself wasn’t that strong, so Chu Tian could run at any moment with the Transport Scroll. It was unclear how strong the West Sea City’s City Lord was, but based on the information from the Elven King, they were not weaker than the four giants. Chu Tian had to be discrete when dealing with this kind of Heaven Domain Expert.
Not being careful might mean failing to teleport.
This West Sea City’s City Lord was different from the Blood Eagle King!
The West Sea City’s power not did just represent the sea domain, but also a part of the Forest of Chaos!
Once the West Sea City’s relations were cut off, there would be many problems for the Forest Alliance. With all kinds of things to consider, Chu Tian had to be discrete, at least he couldn’t anger the West Sea City’s City Lord.
Chu Tian had sold the herb at a preferential price to Old Mo and Old Mo temporarily accepted Chu Tian into his company, bringing him to the West Sea City’s celebration banquet. However, Old Mo kept telling him not to cause trouble in West Sea City, otherwise he wouldn’t be able to protect him.
Of course Chu Tian agreed to him.
That night, their merchant group left for West Sea City.
West Sea City’s defenses and customs were very strict, they had to pass through several barriers and restrictions. They passed through groups and groups of Sea Race soldiers before finally entering West Sea City.
West Sea City was a city in a bay, with many of the Sea Race buildings being built right on the seafront and some buildings even being placed underwater. There were all kinds of residents here, going from the slow and firm turtle soldiers, to the fierce and violent shark soldiers, to even the whale soldiers who were at least ten meters tall.
There were also many shrimp and crab soldiers as well. In short, there were all kinds of sea races in the streets of West Sea City.
Just like spirit beasts, the sea races did look like marine species, but their figures were more like that of humans. It was not a fish or a crab walking upright, but rather more like a mix of marine species and humans.
West Sea City was worthy of being called the most beautiful city of the Forest of Chaos.
There was not only beautiful scenery here, it had a unique grace to it. Compared to the extravagant look of Dragon City, this place seemed more natural and artistic. Compared to the primitive Eternal Forest, this place was more bursting with life.
“We’ll stay the night here.”
A beautiful conch house appeared in front of Chu Tian and each one was a room that was around three meters tall. They were arranged based on the style of the continent races, so there was no feeling of discomfort at all.
The West Sea City’s City Lord’s birthday banquet would start tomorrow.
Chu Tian prepared to stroll around the neighbourhood.
“Do you see that giant tortoise shell in front of us?” Old Wu pointed his finger at a giant tortoise shell that was several dozen meters tall and over a hundred meters wide as he said, “That is West Sea City’s famous Giant Turtle Bazaar. The Giant Turtle Chamber of Commerce is West Sea City’s largest company, we have traded with them before. You can go stroll over there if you’re interested in trading, perhaps you’ll be lucky enough to pick up a treasure.”
Interesting.
Chu Tian directly went to the Giant Turtle Bazaar. The Giant Turtle Bazaar was bigger than he had imagined, but it was also a bit messy because it was separated into two parts. One part was for trading with the Giant Turtle Chamber of Commerce as an intermediary and the other part was for free trade. Trading with an intermediary was letting the company sell for them and free trade was open to all to trade in, letting them set up stalls to trade with.
The commodity inside the Giant Turtle Bazaar were all deep sea materials.
This was something that couldn’t be found in the forest or on land, so bringing West Sea City into the alliance was very important to Miracle Commerce.
The little fox felt something and sniffed with its nose. It immediately pointed in a direction for Chu Tian, signalling that there was something good in that direction.
“You found something?”
The little fox ran in front of a stall and the owner looked like a simple, honest turtle man. The turtle clan were generally tall and strong, with four rather small limbs. They had faces that seemed like those of humans, but their bodies were wrapped inside a natural hard shell. This hard shell was a part of their body and it was as important as a skeleton to humans. It would become stronger as they kept growing, being able to defend against more and more attacks.
The turtle clan’s stall had some things fished out of the deep sea. Other than some strange looking coral, there were also some old items. They looked like things that wouldn’t attract people’s attentions, but the little fox smelled an unusual scent coming from it, which came from a bead that looked very normal.
Chu Tian intentionally picked up the bead in a casual manner and used his Divine Sense to simply look over it a few times, discovering some things. This should be an inner core from a great ancient demonic beast. A demonic beast was completely different from a demon beast, with the demonic beast inner core being worth a very high price. Looking at the aura coming from inside the core, it shouldn’t be weaker than the Void Beast Chu Tian killed inside the Purgatory World space.
Of course.
This was because there was a thick layer of stone that appeared on its surface from being left for a long time. If one’s Divine Sense wasn’t strong enough, naturally one couldn’t find its true value.
Chu Tian gave a soft cough and spoke in the human language to ask, “How much is this stone?”
The turtle man was stunned, it was clear that he didn’t understand the human language. Since he couldn’t communicate, Chu Tian pulled out several pieces source stones. The turtle man shook his head seeing this and Chu Tian kept adding, but the turtle man kept shaking his head.
The two of them used this method to keep bargaining back and forth.
When Chu Tian added two hundred source stones, the turtle man finally showed a satisfied expression. When the two sides were about to trade, there was suddenly a very moving female voice that came from behind, “Stop, I want this demonic beast’s inner core!”
Chu Tian was filled with anger.
Damn, who is ruining father’s good thing!
A girl who was very tall walked over, being over one meter and seventy five centimeter. Her body was nice and full, with snow white skin and long golden hair that were like waves on her back. Whether it was her aura or her appearance, she was completely perfect.
The most enticing thing were those long legs.
This girl had artistic legs that seemed to be carved out of crystals, having a graceful shape, not being thin or fat, perfectly fitting her tall stature. She gave off an aloor feeling, so this girl must be an outstanding person.
“Who are you?” Chu Tian had seen many beauties, so he wasn’t surprised at all, “First come first serve, don’t you know that? I have already bought this stone!”
The golden haired beauty revealed a look of disdain and was too lazy to reply to Chu Tian, “This is the inner core of a ten thousand year deep sea Eight Claw Demon, it has a very high price. It is very important to me, so I will give fifty thousand source stones. Sell it to me.”
What? Fifty thousand!
The turtle man almost thought he heard wrong!
The golden haired beauty continued to say, “Some sly fish thought they could get it cheap, don’t be tricked by him.”
Chu Tian’s temper instantly flared. A girl like you dares look down on me? If we speak in terms of money, would father lose to you? He didn’t even think as he said, “You’re taking out fifty thousand? Good, I’ll add another ten thousand! Sell to me!”
Chu Tian took out six heavy bags of source stones from his storage item.
The golden haired beauty was very stunned, “You…..”
The turtle man looked like he had been slammed by a hammer!
This simple dressed human actually raised the price by ten thousand source stones. To a normal cultivator, ten thousand source stones was a number they could never finish using in their entire life!
Chu Tian blinked innocently, “Can we make the trade now?”
“Stop, isn’t sixty thousand the starting price?” The golden haired beauty knit her brows before throwing seven bags onto the ground, “I’ll take out seventy thousand source stones!”
Chu Tian didn’t even think as he threw out another two bags, “Eighty thousand!”
The golden haired beauty was a bit angry as she glared at him, “Ninety thousand source stones!”
“A hundred thousand!”
“A hundred and ten thousand!”
“A hundred and twenty thousand!”
The two of them kept calling out prices, gradually surpassing the price of this inner core, but Chu Tian wasn’t willing to retreat at all. I have nothing but money, want to bid with me! Simply seeking death!
The golden haired beauty’s face became more and more white.
She was not stupid, she could see this damn human was very rich. These ten thousand source stone bids seemed like nothing to him at all!
The golden haired beauty resisted the urge to charge at him before throwing another bag of source stones down. Her body was trembling a bit, “One hundred and fifty thousand source stones!”
This was already three times the original price. Although the inner core was very valuable, one had to divide it into type. The Void Beast was a rare space attributed demonic beast, it wouldn’t be strange for its inner core to be worth one-two hundred thousand. This inner core was just water attributed and its effects were quite weak, so the current price was a very high price.
“A trivial hundred and fifty thousand?”
Chu Tian disdainfully dug into his spatial bag, but he was suddenly stunned.
No more?
Chu Tian suddenly remembered that he had only brought one hundred and fifty thousand source stones. This to any other person or power was not a small amount, he never thought that he still wouldn’t have enough.
He had to not have any more at this time!
The golden haired beauty saw that Chu Tian was out of money so she immediately said, “Don’t be embarrassing if you don’t have anymore! Quickly scram!”
“I can’t take out anymore?” Chu Tian couldn’t stand being looked down on by girls, “Just wait, give me a day. Wait for me to bring more source stones…..”
“Who wants to waste time with you!” The golden haired beauty gave a snort, “One word, are you selling or not?”
The turtle man was already faint from seeing the source stones, a bit more or less didn’t matter to him now. He just wanted to take the source stones away, so he quickly traded with the golden haired beauty.
The golden haired beauty looked at Chu Tian with disdain before turning with a snort.
He had lost to a girl!
This was simply the greatest shame for Chu Tian!
But what background did this girl have? She looked like a human based on her appearance, but Chu Tian could feel an abnormal aura coming from her, so she shouldn’t be a normal human.
A person that could casually take out one hundred and fifty thousand source stones, they were definitely not a simple person!
Chu Tian had suffered this loss, so he wasn’t in the mood to keep wandering. He went back to the coral house to sleep, waiting for tomorrow to see the West Sea City’s City Lord.
