Chapter 2975: Nameless Branch

The Four Symbols Immortal King, even placed within the entire region of the Thousand Kingdoms, is considered a top-tier powerhouse.

And for such an existence, the things brought out for auction, how could they be ordinary?

So, upon hearing the old man hosting the auction say that the auction item in his hands was consigned by a Four Symbols Immortal King, everyone was full of anticipation:

What exactly did that Four Symbols Immortal King realm Loose Cultivator consign at this Singles Kingdom’s royal auction?

"I didn’t expect to encounter a treasure consigned by a Four Symbols Immortal King realm Loose Cultivator here... Luckily I didn’t leave, otherwise I would have missed this spectacle."

"Yes... but I wonder, what kind of treasure will it be?"

"If possible, no matter the cost, I will try to win it! A treasure consigned by a Four Symbols Immortal King realm Loose Cultivator cannot be ordinary."

"The jade box is about to be opened!"

...

In the auction hall, a crowd fixated their gaze on the slowly opening jade box in the old man’s hand.

In the box where the Autumn Holding Kingdom’s group was seated, Wyatt Barnes’s gaze also penetrated through the window, landing on the jade box slowly opening in the old man’s hand.

Clap!

In a moment, the jade box was completely opened.

At the same time, the contents inside the jade box were fully revealed to everyone.

An oddly shaped branch lay quietly inside the jade box. Although it was a detached branch, it was a lush green, and the leaves upon it were flourishing, showing no signs of wilting.

Logically speaking, a branch, when detached from a tree, is akin to losing its nutrient supply and should gradually wither.

But this branch, lying quietly in the jade box, showed no signs of withering at all.

Not only did it show no signs of withering.

Now, anyone extending their Divine Sense toward the branch within the jade box could clearly feel the vibrant vitality contained within.

"This is..."

"Heavens! Why is there such a thing here?!"

"How could this thing appear here?!"

Just as Wyatt Barnes’s attention was captured by the branch in the jade box, within him, three voices resonated almost simultaneously, each filled with disbelief.

And these three voices belonged to the Supreme Profound Divine Gold, Chaos Divine Fire, and the Primal Chaos Divine Soil.

"You... recognize this branch?"

Wyatt asked curiously.

Meanwhile, in the auction venue, as well as in the boxes where the people of Autumn Holding Kingdom, Eastbright Kingdom, and Morning Kingdom were, the atmosphere was heavy.

"What is this thing? Why does it have such powerful vitality?"

"This branch, leaving its tree, not only hasn’t withered but holds such strong vitality... it’s quite extraordinary."

"Does anyone recognize what tree this is from?"

"Perhaps it is some kind of rare material... this thing clearly isn’t ordinary."

...

Although no one present could recognize what the branch was, they could all clearly feel that it was not simple.

More people speculated that this branch might be an extremely rare material.

"What is this?"

"Yes... host, what is this?"

...

All eyes full of curiosity fell on the old man on the auction stage, with many unable to resist asking him.

Facing the curious stares from all directions, the old man calmly said, "I don’t know what this is."

"You don’t know?"

The crowd was stunned.

"Not only do I not know what this is, even the Four Symbols Immortal King who consigned it does not know what it is."

The old man continued.

"What?!"

"Even the Four Symbols Immortal King who consigned this does not know what it is?"

"This... how can we bid on it? Although this thing does not appear simple, it seems to lack value before knowing how it can be used?"

...

Upon learning that even the Four Symbols Immortal King who consigned the branch did not know what it was, many in the auction hall frowned together.

"Although I don’t know what this is, it contains extremely powerful vitality..."

The old man took the branch out of the jade box, displaying it for all to see, while raising his other hand in a knife-like motion towards the branch.

Buzz!

The motion of his hand brought a sound like a blade cutting through the air.

Plop!

With a soft sound, a deep cut appeared on the thickest part of the branch’s trunk, and the branch swayed slightly, as if it might break at any moment.

Just when everyone was puzzled by why the old man did such a thing, a shocking scene unfolded before their eyes.

The part of the branch that was almost severed showed threads of pale green light wriggling on it, quickly healing at an astonishing speed.

About a dozen breaths later, the branch, which had been on the verge of breaking, restored itself completely, as if it had never been damaged at all.

"This... this..."

"Incredible! Simply incredible!"

"This is too incredible... it was almost severed, and in just a dozen breaths, it returned to its original state?"

"This branch is definitely extraordinary!"

"Even if I don’t know the details of this branch, I will do my best to bid for it... if only for its terrifying restorative ability!"

...

Amidst the vast auction hall, the sound of gasps echoed continuously, like waves upon waves, frequent to the extreme.

"The starting bid for this nameless branch is one hundred thousand top-grade Immortal Crystals!"

On the auction stage, the elderly man loudly announced.

After speaking, he quickly added another sentence, "Each bid increment must not be less than ten thousand top-grade Immortal Crystals!"

"Additionally, our Singles Kingdom royalty is also interested in this item... therefore, I will also be participating in the bidding."

The old man supplemented once again.

His words, once uttered, immediately stirred up a thousand ripples!

Even the Singles Kingdom royalty is interested in this nameless branch?

"It seems this branch truly is put up for auction by the Four Symbols Immortal King... otherwise, the Singles Kingdom royalty would have taken it privately long ago."

"Even so... this might be the Singles Kingdom royalty intentionally driving up the price of this nameless branch; we must remain cautious."

"No matter what, this nameless branch is captivating... the final price might not be less than two hundred thousand top-grade Immortal Crystals!"

"Two hundred thousand top-grade Immortal Crystals... that’s equivalent to the value of two King Grade Immortal Artifacts!"

...

The auction hall was filled with continual murmurs and whispers.

"One hundred thousand top-grade Immortal Crystals!"

Meanwhile, from the box occupied by people from the Morning Kingdom, a voice robustly rang out.

And the person who participated in the bidding was none other than the leader among the group from the Morning Kingdom, a middle-aged man dressed in a blue robe, with a stern visage.

"Two hundred thousand top-grade Immortal Crystals!"

Almost the moment the voice from the Morning Kingdom fell, the old man on the auction stage suddenly spoke, directly quoting a doubled price.

Wow!

Immediately, the entire venue was in uproar.

No one expected that not only was the old man the second participant in the bidding for the nameless branch, but he was also quoting a double price.

After his words fell, the old man supplemented with another sentence, "This is the psychological price point for our Singles Kingdom royalty... if anyone offers over two hundred thousand top-grade Immortal Crystals, our Singles Kingdom royalty will no longer participate."

As the old man’s words fell, for a long moment, no one continued to bid.

"The psychological price point for the Singles Kingdom royalty is two hundred thousand top-grade Immortal Crystals... it seems the Singles Kingdom royalty isn’t very optimistic about this nameless branch."

"It’s actually quite normal... even the Four Symbols Immortal King couldn’t discover any clues about this nameless branch; what use would the Singles Kingdom royalty have for it, other than collecting it?"

"Two hundred thousand top-grade Immortal Crystals, to buy a collectible... it’s just too extravagant!"

"Indeed. It’s equivalent to using two King Grade Immortal Artifacts to exchange for a collectible... such audacity, normal people simply can’t have."

...

In the midst of incessant discussions, the box where the people from the Morning Kingdom were located returned to calm, having no activity for half a day, clearly having given up on the bidding.

"Two hundred thousand top-grade Immortal Crystals, first call."

On the auction stage, the old man began counting down.

"Two hundred and ten thousand top-grade Immortal Crystals!"

From the box occupied by people from the Eastbright Kingdom, an elderly voice emerged; it was evidently the elder who led the group from the Eastbright Kingdom participating in the bidding.

"Two hundred and fifty thousand top-grade Immortal Crystals!"

Following the elder’s participation in the bidding, Ismael Yellow from the Autumn Holding Kingdom also joined the fray.

"Father, could it be you know what this is?"

Bradley was surprised that his father would participate in the bidding, momentarily astonished.

"I don’t know."

However, facing Bradley’s inquiry, Ismael Yellow shook his head, "Just feel that this item is remarkable, casually placing a bid for fun... if anyone raises the price, I won’t go further."

"For fun?"

Bradley was speechless, unexpectedly finding his father more capricious than himself, casually taking out two hundred and fifty thousand top-grade Immortal Crystals to play around.

"Elder Inky, can you recognize what that thing is?"

Ismael Yellow asked the elderly man who had been frowning beside him.

"Can’t recognize it."

The elder shook his head.

"Two hundred and sixty thousand top-grade Immortal Crystals!"

From the auction hall, a middle-aged man loudly offered a higher bid, decisively surpassing Ismael Yellow’s quote.

Instantly, this middle-aged man became the focus of the entire venue.

"Isn’t this the Vice Sect Leader of the Thousand Hands Sect of the Eight Grade Sect, Everett Clive?"

"It is him! Didn’t expect him to be here!"

"Seems like Everett Clive is also interested in that nameless branch."

...

Within the region of Mystic Abyss Mansion, not only are the thousand Immortal Kingdoms within the Thousand Countries Land considered Eight Grade forces, but some Sects and families are also Eight Grade forces.

However, most Eight Grade Sects and families, in terms of strength, are far inferior to Eight Grade Immortal Kingdoms.

Even so, their power surpasses those Nine Grade forces.

"Three hundred thousand top-grade Immortal Crystals!"

Just as everyone’s attention was centered on the Vice Sect Leader of the Thousand Hands Sect, Everett Clive, a calm voice emerged from within the box, shifting everyone’s focus.

"Hmm?"

"It’s Autumn Holding Kingdom people again?"

...

The voice came from the box occupied by people from the Autumn Holding Kingdom.

Wyatt Barnes participated in the bidding!
