340: Take the Devouring Heaven Corpse, the shock brought by the finale! [Seeking follow-up reading]

On that silver plate was a brown sea chart.

"This is a sea chart obtained from the Sea Demon Clan. The sea area depicted in it is not a known one, so it should belong to an unknown sea area. The starting bid is 800,000 xuan yuan pills."

Similar unknown sea charts are generally considered niche auction items, so they are not usually too expensive. 800,000 xuan yuan pills was already quite a high price.

After some bidding, Lin Dong successfully bid for it at a price of 1.8 million xuan yuan pills.

Although Lin Fan knew that once the main item of the auction was acquired, this sea chart would likely be of little use, he did not stop Lin Dong from buying it.

Who knows when it might come in handy? And it wasn't expensive anyway.

After the sea chart was auctioned, the three continued to follow the progress of the auction.

It must be said that the auction hosted by Tian Shang Pavilion was indeed excellent, with a wide array of items including Martial Art, Spirit Treasures, and spiritual materials, almost everything imaginable.

Then, at one point, a crystal coffin was placed on the auction stage by someone from Tian Shang Pavilion.

Inside the crystal coffin was a withered, pitch-black corpse.

Upon seeing the corpse, Lin Fan's eyes lit up slightly.

At this auction, besides the final main item, this corpse was undoubtedly the most valuable.

Because this corpse was one of the Devouring Corpses refined by the Lord of Devouring back then!

Beside Lin Fan, Lin Dong looked at the pitch-black corpse and suddenly felt the Devouring Ancestral Symbol within him vibrate violently.

The somewhat surprised voice of Ancestral Stone Spirit, Yan, also echoed in his mind, "This is... a Devouring Corpse?"

"A Devouring Corpse? What is that?" Lin Dong was startled by Yan's voice and immediately asked in his mind.

Afterward, Yan proceeded to explain the Devouring Corpse to Lin Dong in his mind.

After a brief exchange with Yan in his mind, Lin Dong lowered his voice and said to Lin Fan beside him, "Brother Lin Fan, we must bid for this!"

"Heh heh, don't worry, I know," Lin Fan said with a slight smile.

At this moment, on the auction stage, Tang Dongling pointed her slender jade finger at the black withered corpse in the crystal coffin and smiled charmingly,

"It is said that this was retrieved from the deep sea. As for what it specifically is, I may not be able to provide a detailed answer."

"However, I can only tell everyone that this withered corpse does not seem ordinary, because Tian Shang Pavilion once had a Dead Mysterious Realm Expert who attacked it with full force, but ultimately could not destroy it."

"Whoosh!"

As Tang Dongling's voice fell, a commotion immediately erupted in the venue. Many people looked at the seemingly ordinary black withered corpse with stunned expressions.

This thing could withstand the full attack of a Dead Mysterious Realm Expert?

"Miss Tang, is this a Puppet?"

In the front seats of the auction hall, a man dressed in black robes suddenly spoke in a low voice.

"That guy is Chen Ying from the Illusion Demon Sect. It seems he's quite interested in this withered corpse..."

As he spoke, many people in the back recognized his identity and couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

"It can indeed be classified as a type of Puppet, however..." Tang Dongling hesitated slightly, then finally said,

"This thing might require a special method of control, otherwise, it seems difficult to activate it."

"Cannot be activated?"

Upon hearing this, many people in the venue were stunned, then shook their heads in disappointment.

If something cannot be controlled, what's the use of buying it? Is it to be used as a shield?

"Let's start the bidding now. The starting price is five million xuan yuan pills," Tang Dongling said with a slight smile, ignoring the changing thoughts of the crowd.

Hearing Tang Dongling's words, many people felt it was too expensive and had no intention of bidding.

After a while, the first bidder finally emerged, "Five million one hundred thousand."

After him, a few more bids followed, but the increases were not large.

The highest bid was from Chen Ying of the Illusion Demon Sect, who bid six million five hundred thousand.

After Chen Ying's bid, no one else continued to raise the price.

Seeing this, Lin Fan smiled faintly and said, "Six million six hundred thousand."

Upon hearing Lin Fan's bid, many people looked over with curiosity. Tang Dongling's eyes also flickered slightly, not understanding why Lin Fan would bid for this black withered corpse.

"Seven million!" Chen Ying glanced at Lin Fan and frowned.

"Seven million one hundred thousand!"

Lin Fan's expression was calm as he continued to raise the price.

"Seven million five hundred thousand!"

"Eight million!"

When Lin Fan raised the price to eight million, Chen Ying hesitated, and finally gave up.

"Nine million."

Just as everyone thought the matter was settled, Xie Yan from Evil Wind Cave suddenly raised the price.

"Ten million. If you continue to bid, then it's yours," Lin Fan glanced at Xie Yan and said indifferently.

Hearing Lin Fan's words, Xie Yan's brows furrowed slightly, looking somewhat indecisive.

He actually didn't know what use this black withered corpse had; he just wanted to annoy Lin Fan and deliberately raised the price.

If he continued to bid and Lin Fan really didn't follow, wouldn't it be stuck with him?

His goal this time was the main item, and if he spent over ten million, he might not be able to acquire the main item later.

Looking at Xie Yan, whose expression was constantly changing, Lin Fan sneered, "If you're going to bid, do it quickly. Don't drag it out and waste everyone's time."

The crowd in the auction hall also noticed the animosity between Lin Fan and Xie Yan, and they watched Xie Yan with an attitude of enjoying a good show.

Xie Yan's face turned dark and uncertain. He had intended to annoy Lin Fan, but now he found himself in a difficult position.

"Young Cave Master, the main objective is more important," the black-clothed elder beside Xie Yan, seeing his shifting expression, worried that he might impulsively continue bidding, and advised him in a low voice.

Xie Yan took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes, clearly indicating that he would not bid further.

On the auction stage, Tang Dongling's expression flickered, and she smiled, "If no one else continues to bid, then this Puppet withered corpse will belong to Young Master Lin Fan."

Hearing Tang Dongling's words, many people in the venue looked towards Xie Yan's direction, but Xie Yan showed no reaction.

Finally, the auction of the Puppet withered corpse also reached its final conclusion.

"Young Lord of Evil Wind Cave, is that all?" Lin Fan shook his head slightly, a soft laugh escaping his lips.

Xie Yan's face was ashen, and he retorted stubbornly, "Spending ten million xuan yuan pills to buy a useless withered corpse, do you think everyone is as idiotic as you?"

"Who said it's useless? Soon, you'll witness its power," Lin Fan said with a mysterious smile.

In the auction hall, the crowd immediately erupted in an uproar upon hearing Lin Fan's words.

Even Tang Dongling on the auction stage was filled with surprise and uncertainty.

Could it be that he really had a way to activate this Puppet withered corpse?

Tang Dongling's thoughts churned, but it did not affect the continuation of the auction.

Under Tang Dongling's hosting, the atmosphere of the auction hall, accompanied by increasingly rare auction items, gradually began to climb.

Especially when a low-grade pure yuan treasure appeared, many people in the entire auction hall had a fervent look in their eyes.

This pure yuan treasure was a dark red longbow named sky phoenix shattering void bow, and its starting bid reached ten million.

After a round of competitive bidding, Lin Fan acquired it for twenty-five million.

The value of xuan yuan pills, of course, could only be realized by spending them.

Moreover, he was not far from Breaking Through to the Death Profound Realm, and xuan yuan pills would not be of much use then.

"Next, is the final treasure of this auction!"

As the previous excitement gradually subsided, a charming smile also appeared on Tang Dongling's face on the auction stage.

As her words fell, the atmosphere in the entire auction hall seemed to solidify.

Especially the powerful factions seated in the front row, all seemed to have subtly straightened their backs.

"The next item concerns an Immortal Cave said to have been left behind by a Samsara Realm Expert. Its value, I believe everyone should understand."

As soon as Tang Dongling's voice fell, the atmosphere in the auction hall immediately exploded.

Cheers like a landslide, like a tsunami, spread throughout the hall. Many people suddenly stood up, their eyes filled with a somewhat frenzied expression. (End of Chapter)
