69: Send some money

As Gu Jixiao spoke, the entire auction house instantly erupted.

Clearly, they hadn't expected someone to be so audacious, not even giving Face to the two Great Holy Lands.

If it were just the Violet Flame Holy Land, that would be one thing, but the key was that they hadn't even heard of this Ancient Heavenly Imperial Dynasty.

Inside Box Number One, Ying Lanfeng's expression was incredibly grim.

The Thunder Holy Land was one thing, but what in the world was this Ancient Heavenly Imperial Dynasty?

There were only five Imperial Dynasties with Great Emperor Experts in the entire Heavenly Saint Continent, but none of them were a match for her Tianguang Holy Land.

Most importantly, this Ancient Heavenly Imperial Dynasty wasn't even among them.

So, who exactly was this Ancient Heavenly Imperial Dynasty, to be able to enter Box Number Five?

In the shadows, Qin Tianqiu was equally astonished.

After all, he knew that the invitation for Box Number Five had been given to Heavenly Treasure Pavilion. Could it be that Heavenly Treasure Pavilion had given the invitation to this Ancient Heavenly Imperial Dynasty?

Thinking of this, Qin Tianqiu's expression also turned somewhat unpleasant.

Heavenly Treasure Pavilion's action was equivalent to not giving his Cangling Chamber of Commerce any Face.

In Box Number Two, the Great Emperor Expert of the Thunder Holy Land snorted coldly and stopped bidding.

It was clear, however, that this matter would not end there.

As Gu Jixiao offered the sky-high price of two billion Top-Grade Spirit Stones, neither Ying Lanfeng nor the Great Emperor Expert of the Thunder Holy Land bid again.

Ultimately, the changguang fruit was acquired by Gu Jixiao for two billion Top-Grade Spirit Stones.

Shen Qingyu, however, showed a hint of worry. Did her husband truly have so many Spirit Stones?

In the Cultivation world of the Heavenly Saint Continent, currency was divided into Spirit Stones and spiritual liquid, which were then further divided into Low Grade, Medium Grade, High Grade, and Top-Grade.

Each increase in grade multiplied the value by a full ten times.

Two billion Top-Grade Spirit Stones was equivalent to a full two hundred thousand cubic meters of Top-Grade Spiritual Liquid.

"Husband, do you truly have so many Top-Grade Spirit Stones?"

Shen Qingyu asked with some concern.

Hearing this, Gu Jixiao waved his hand with a calm expression.

"No worries, at worst, I'll just have Wu Tianxie send some over."

Gu Jixiao currently only had one hundred twenty thousand cubic meters of spiritual liquid, far from enough to pay for the changguang fruit, let alone the upcoming heavenly thunder origin liquid.

Therefore, Gu Jixiao directly took out a communication jade talisman and contacted Wu Tianxie.

Meanwhile, in Heavenly Treasure Pavilion in Central State.

After being disheartened by Gu Jixiao, Wu Tianxie was preparing to go into seclusion to break through to Great Emperor.

But before he could even begin his seclusion, Gu Jixiao's message arrived.

Looking at the vibrating and disconnected communication jade talisman, Wu Tianxie couldn't help but sigh.

What was this lord planning to do now?

But he still forced a smile and connected the communication jade talisman.

"Fellow Daoist Gu, may I ask what you need?"

"I'm currently at an auction and I'm a bit short on spiritual liquid. Send me three hundred thousand cubic meters first."

As Gu Jixiao finished speaking, Wu Tianxie froze on the spot.

No, how much did you say?

Three hundred thousand cubic meters?

Why did he feel that the three hundred thousand cubic meters of Top-Grade Spiritual Liquid in Fellow Daoist Gu's mouth sounded as casual as thirty Low-Grade Spirit Stones?

"Fellow Daoist Gu, you're not joking, are you? Three hundred thousand cubic meters of Top-Grade Spiritual Liquid, I can't get that in a short amount of time."

Wu Tianxie said sheepishly.

It wasn't that he was talking nonsense; although Heavenly Treasure Pavilion was indeed wealthy, the money couldn't be directly taken out by him, a Pavilion Master. It required the approval of all the Old Ancestors before it could be used.

Hearing this, Gu Jixiao waved his hand.

"In short, I've already told you. I've already bid for the item. If you don't send it over, you know the consequences."

With that, Gu Jixiao ended the communication directly.

Only Wu Tianxie was left in his Immortal Cave, his Face incredibly grim. After a long while, he stomped his foot in extreme anger.

"What a sin!"

But he ultimately couldn't resist rushing towards the Forbidden Ground. He knew that Gu Jixiao was a man of his word.

If he said he'd deal with him, he absolutely would, and he didn't want to be dealt with by Gu Jixiao.

Arriving in the Forbidden Ground, after hearing that Gu Jixiao needed three hundred thousand cubic meters of Top-Grade Spiritual Liquid, the Old Ancestors' expressions were extremely gloomy, but in the end, they could only agree.

After all, Gu Jixiao had already proven his strength.

If they dared to defy him, the consequences would likely not be good.

And in the Cangling Chamber of Commerce, after ending the communication, Gu Jixiao looked towards the stage again.

The changguang fruit had already been presented. Next should be the final item, which was his purpose for coming: the heavenly thunder origin liquid.

At this moment, Lin Xuaner, with a smiling Face, spoke on the stage.

"Welcome, distinguished guests, to today's event. And next up is the final highlight item of our auction."

"heavenly thunder origin liquid!"

As Lin Xuaner pulled back the red cloth, revealing the palm-sized bottle.

Seeing the turbulent purple thunder Qi within, everyone present was stunned.

After a good while, the scene erupted into a roar like a tsunami.

"Hiss, I didn't mishear, even the heavenly thunder origin liquid is here?"

"I thought the changguang fruit was rare enough, but I didn't expect even the heavenly thunder origin liquid to appear. This Cangling Chamber of Commerce is indeed incredibly powerful!"

"The changguang fruit already sold for a sky-high price of two billion Top-Grade Spirit Stones, so the value of the heavenly thunder origin liquid will only be higher."

"Everyone, the heavenly thunder origin liquid has powerful effects. Just one drop is equivalent to a thousand years of arduous cultivation, not to mention there's a whole jar here."

"Furthermore, the heavenly thunder origin liquid also has various effects such as granting Epiphany in Cultivation Techniques and improving one's Physique."

"Therefore, the starting price for the heavenly thunder origin liquid is ten million Top-Grade Spirit Stones, and each bid must not be less than one million Top-Grade Spirit Stones!"

Lin Xuaner's breathing was also inevitably a little excited, after all, this item was truly too precious.

As Lin Xuaner finished speaking, the bidders present were all very self-aware and did not make a bid.

After all, this item was truly too precious, and even if they managed to bid for it, they wouldn't have the strength to keep it safe.

So, instead of joining the commotion, it was better to watch the show from the sidelines.

However, to their surprise, as the heavenly thunder origin liquid was presented and Lin Xuaner announced the start of bidding, Gu Jixiao's voice came from Box Number Five.

"Everyone, my Ancient Heavenly Imperial Dynasty bids two billion Top-Grade Spirit Stones. Please give my Ancient Heavenly Imperial Dynasty some Face and do not compete with us."

As Gu Jixiao finished speaking, all the Cultivators present froze on the spot.

Clearly, they had not expected that the Ancient Heavenly Imperial Dynasty, after having already acquired the changguang fruit, would still have the spare capacity to buy the heavenly thunder origin liquid.

The two combined amounted to a full forty billion Top-Grade Spirit Stones, which translates to four hundred thousand cubic meters of Top-Grade Spiritual Liquid.

Even the Three Great Sacred Lands might not be able to produce that much.

Where did this unheard-of Imperial Dynasty get such strength?
