Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny IBWASFM

Chapter 360: Dark Treasure (12th Update)
Lu Xia shook his head vigorously, “As a descendant of the Miao sorcerers, how can you be without a Gu heart? You’ll come back with me when the time comes!”

Ah Fei’s face fell instantly, then he quickly began to change the subject.

“Gu Master, have you prepared enough money for attending the auction in Xiangjiang?”

“Money? What money?” Lu Xia asked.

Ah Fei’s eyes widened, “Of course, the money to bid for items! Are you planning to snatch them by force instead?”

Lu Xia smiled, “Of course not. The item I’m interested in cannot be measured in money. It’s an exchange of items. As long as the other party is interested in what you have, they can trade with you.”

“Then, Gu Master, what are you prepared to offer?” Ah Fei asked curiously.

Lu Xia chuckled, and suddenly, two insect eggs appeared in his hand.

Although they seemed to be only the size of chicken eggs.

The aura they contained, however, shook Ah Fei to the core.

“These… These are the eggs of a Gu King?” Ah Fei exclaimed.

Lu Xia nodded proudly, “That’s right, and they are Gu Kings that I have personally cultivated!”

Ah Fei was filled with shock.

He was very clear on the value of a Gu King.

Every Gu King could be said to be an extremely precious treasure, let alone Gu Kings personally raised by Gu Master Lu Xia.

Using such treasures for exchange, what kind of astonishing and shocking item must that be? Ah Fei wondered curiously.

The day of the auction finally arrived.

Unlike typical auctions.

This time, the auction was not open to the public.

All the participants were there by invitation.

The security was extremely tight.

Almost everyone arrived wearing masks and sunglasses, fully armed as if they were afraid of others seeing their true faces.

This made Xue An, who came to spectate, stand out a bit.

Many looked at Xue An with surprised eyes, for he was a face they had never seen before, naturally drawing the curiosity of many.

Meanwhile, Wang Geng sat in a corner far away, occasionally glancing at An Yan, who was sitting next to Xue An.

Even though An Yan now looked completely ordinary due to an Illusory Art.

Wang Geng still felt there was something familiar about this woman.

Strange, where have I seen her before?

However, as soon as the auction officially began.

All attention focused on the stage.

A man with white hair but a powerful aura stepped onto the platform.

“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to today’s auction. The first item up for auction is this Thousand-Year Wild Ginseng.”

As he spoke, he opened a delicate box revealing a ginseng over a meter long, with what appeared to be facial features faintly visible on the root.

“I don’t need to elaborate on the preciousness of this item— not to mention bringing the dead back to life, having it with you is like having an extra life. Therefore, the starting bid is ten million with a minimum increment of one hundred thousand. Let’s begin!”

With the command of the auctioneer.

The bidding began below.

“Eleven million!”

“Twelve million!”

“Fifteen million!”

In the end, the ginseng sold for an astronomical price of eighteen million.

Xue An, however, remained unimpressed, as the item didn’t look thousand-year-old at first glance; at most, it was four to five hundred years old.

Although it was still rare, the thousand-year mark is a benchmark that real Spiritual Medicine kings must cross.

Otherwise, it’s just a slightly better medicinal herb.

The items that followed were even more diverse.

Such as Spirit Talismans personally written by a True Master of the Heaven Master Dao.

What beads blessed by the Ninth Incarnation Living Buddha from the great Buddhists temples of the Western Regions.

These items are almost like magic artifacts.

To the secular people, these items already possess incomparable mystical effects.

But for Xue An, they could only be considered trash.

So he even began to yawn out of boredom.

If the auction were just this, it would be too dull.

As he was thinking, the voice of the auctioneer suddenly rose.

“The next item up for auction can be said to be second only to the finale treasure, please look!”

With that, the auctioneer pulled away the red cloth that was covering the item.

What appeared on the stage was actually several small pink bottles emitting the glow of gems.

Xue An looked slightly surprised and then chuckled to himself.

Isn’t this Tianyuan? Who would have thought it would also be part of the auction?

The auctioneer then excitedly said, “Ladies and gentlemen, there’s no need for me to introduce Tianyuan, and these particular bottles are even more special – they are the newly released limited edition from China. What does ‘limited edition’ mean? According to Tianyuan Company, the potency is much stronger and purer than the regular ones, hence they are called limited edition!”

“So when these limited editions were released, they were immediately snapped up.”

Xue An in the audience couldn’t help but smile wryly.

It seemed like this must have been the idea of his three brothers.

Limited edition indeed.

It’s all just to hoodwink the foreign tycoons.

Of course, he wasn’t going to expose it.

Meanwhile, the auctioneer went on to elaborately introduce the effects of Tianyuan.

“The regular Tianyuan can rejuvenate a person, but these limited editions bring the effect to its pinnacle. Therefore, its importance is self-evident. The auction starts now, with a starting bid of 50 million! Each increment must be no less than 5 million!”

Listening, Xue An was also quite astonished.

Tianyuan had actually reached such a price?

But no sooner had the auctioneer finished speaking than the room erupted like a boiling pot.

“60 million!”

“70 million!”

…

No one was bidding incrementally; jumps of ten million were the norm.

Eventually, those few bottles of Tianyuan were sold for 130 million.

Xue An thought to himself that he might have to tell Qiao Le and the others to set a higher price in the future; otherwise, the money was all being made by these scalpers.

By this time, the auctioneer surveyed the room, waiting for the crowd to quiet down before saying with a smile, “Now, we will auction our last item, the most precious of the day!”

A murmur ran through the crowd.

What could be more precious than Tianyuan?

As he said this, the auctioneer opened a beautifully crafted small box.

As the lid was lifted, a blood-red light bathed the entire hall.

Inside was a Blood Pearl emitting strong fluctuations.

The people in the room let out a chorus of gasps.

Lu Xia and Ah Fei sat in the most inconspicuous corner, maintaining their silence.

But when this moment arrived, Lu Xia stared intently at the Blood Pearl, his expression growing solemn.

He wasn’t the only one with that look; Long Guanyu’s eyes were filled with greed.

And Quintina took a deep breath, then murmured intoxicatingly to herself, “Such a powerful aura of the Blood Emperor… This must be at least from a Grand Duke.”

Yes, what was being auctioned was a Blood Pearl that formed after the fall of a member of the European Blood Clan.

Looking at this Dark Treasure, Xue An suddenly sat up straight, his eyes beginning to shine.

Interesting!
