Chapter 571 - 259: Invincible Money Power, Gathering of the True Venerables of the Immortal Dao Alliance

Next to him, Lou Yuwei, sipping tea, suddenly shook his hand, and the fragrant scent of the tea wafted towards him.

"Da... Dao brother, no, elder! You’re already late-stage Nascent Soul?"

"Late-stage Nascent Soul? No." Lu Wenwu answered frankly, "Just bidding for fun, might as well use it later on."

The fact is indeed so.

At worst, he could sell it after returning to Blue Star later.

Players on Blue Star are numerous, there’s always someone following the cultivation system.

Having one more elixir to aid advancement is always a good thing.

"But this..." Lou Yuwei looked stunned, "Dao brother, I know you aren’t short on Spirit Stones. But... but... although most of the Great Cultivators and Divinity Transformation True Venerables present care about face, there’s always someone who doesn’t. Doing this... you’re easily targeted."

In the short time they were conversing, the price of the Dragon and Tiger Harmony Fetal Breath Pill had already risen to two thousand one hundred and thirty-four Spirit Stones.

"Thanks, you’re a good person."

Lu Wenwu smiled slightly, pressed the bidding device in his hand.

"I understand, but I don’t care at all."

With the price projection changing once again, the previously restless auction hall fell into dead silence again.

"Mr. from Room A-413, bid... five thousand Upper-grade Spirit Stones!" The auctioneer shouted excitedly.

In all his years of service, he had seen rich men who aren’t short on Spirit Stones, or the second generation who didn’t treat Spirit Stones as Spirit Stones.

These people often spend lavishly, unconcerned about offending others.

However, that only happened in some small-scale auctions.

Once the auction level rose to include Nascent Soul True Monarchs, this kind of situation usually wouldn’t occur.

A Nascent Soul True Monarch might not mean much.

But behind a Nascent Soul is often a complex web of interwoven systems.

Who knows what kind of person is standing behind them?

Therefore, in high-end auctions, it’s rare to see someone like "rich man" splurging Spirit Stones, wanting all the items.

As for the once-in-a-decade grand auction...

Since the formal establishment of the grand auction system, this was the first groundbreaking occurrence.

Spending five thousand Upper-grade Spirit Stones to buy an auxiliary category Realm-Breaking Elixir, even if it aids Divinity Transformation breakthrough, is incredibly extravagant.

After all, it only enhances part of the breakthrough ability, not the entire process.

If it were the legendary God-Brewing Pill, which could increase the success rate to Divinity Transformation by ten percent, perhaps it would be worth this many Spirit Stones, or even more.

Once the auctioneer dropped the hammer for the third time, the Dragon and Tiger Harmony Fetal Breath Pill successfully fell into Lu Wenwu’s hands.

In the ensuing time, Lu Wenwu’s bidding device was never idle.

Whenever a new item came on stage, it started with ten times the opening bid.

If opponents followed and bid competitively, he would immediately counter with double, if that didn’t work, then triple or quadruple.

Whether it was Magical Treasures, Talismans, antiques, materials, Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, regardless of their level, as long as there was a base price, Lu Wenwu would immediately bid.

With the power of overwhelming wealth, this auction was described for him in two words.

The venue was booked!

Holding five billion and a few million Upper-grade Spirit Stones, Lu Wenwu was even wondering whether he could spend all of the loose change after the auction ended.

Based on the current value of the auction items, maybe not.

Until now, none were even worth over ten thousand, truly uninteresting.

To be fair, these cultivation realm big shots indeed have restraint; most are truly cautious.

Originally, after Lu Wenwu finished bidding for the first three items, some Nascent Soul True Monarchs and Divinity Transformation True Venerables felt displeased with his actions and started sending people to investigate Lu Wenwu’s background secretly.

However, after Lu Wenwu consecutively secured twenty-seven items, these cultivation realm giants tacitly decided to lower their flags and remained obediently to follow bids, hoping to win once through normal means.

They... chickened out!

For someone with the guts to act like this, who knows what kind of demon fiends are supporting him?

Better not to offend him if they can avoid it.

Unfortunately, competing with Lu Wenwu in terms of Spirit Stone quantity is destined to be a sad story.

The Dragon Race had accumulated Spirit Stones for who knows how long, even loose change is unmatched by cultivation families with only about three to five thousand years of accumulation.

Moreover...

The Dragon Mansion still had several thousand spirit veins... none of which had been mined in eleven thousand years!

The richness of Spiritual Qi... with a random dig into the mine vein using a crane-beak shovel yields dozens of pieces!

Buy!

Just buy it all!

As long as Lu Wenwu saw it, he must acquire it!

While the big shots were still restraining themselves, some cultivators below started to curse without reservation, the discussions about Lu Wenwu grew louder and more chaotic.

For heavens’ sake, bidding on high-end items is one thing, since it indeed has nothing to do with us and isn’t something at our level to covet.

But the heck, you’re even bidding on Golden Core and Foundation Establishment Stage items?

With financial power like yours, you’re at least Divinity Transformation True Venerable, what on earth would a true Divinity Transformation want with Foundation Establishment Stage items to quicken cultivation progress?

Even if you somehow need them, at your status, do you need to come to an auction to buy them?

Damned demon beast, that’s what!

Other cultivators were unhappy, but the sellers at Celestial Secret Tower and the consignors of the auction were almost laughing, instantly delivering the items Lu Wenwu had bid on to him.

Who buys isn’t important, whether it’s sold and how much, that’s what matters.
