Chapter 907: Chapter 907: Chaos Demon Lord’s Wooden Sword
Afterward, the staff of the association lifted the chunk of Hanhai Divine Iron onto the auction stage.
As the counter manager mentioned earlier, the Hanhai Divine Iron measured one cubic meter.
The Hanhai Divine Iron exuded bursts of dusky light, and within the Divine Iron, one could faintly hear the sound of ocean tides.
"This piece of Hanhai Divine Iron was a serendipitous find by our Duobao Commerce Association. Such a large piece of Hanhai Divine Iron is only seen once in a million years in the Divine Domain. The starting bid is one thousand Divine Spirit Veins."
"Each increment must not be less than one Divine Spirit Vein,"
Chen Keying looked around with her beautiful eyes, her voice pleasing to the ear, "Now, let the bidding begin."
As Chen Keying’s voice died down, the venue fell silent.
Just as the experts present were about to speak up and bid, suddenly, from VIP Room No. 3, a young man of the Food God Clan chuckled, "I bid one thousand and one Divine Spirit Veins."
Hearing the young man of the Food God Clan bid, everyone who was about to participate in the bidding stopped abruptly.
"Is there anyone offering a higher bid than mine?" After pausing for a moment, the voice of that young man of the Food God Clan rang out again, smug and presumptuous.
The threat was unmistakable.
The previously silent venue was now utterly soundless.
The air in the venue seemed to grow stagnant.
Chen Keying frowned slightly.
Seeing that no one spoke up, the four members of the Food God Clan looked even more smug.
"If no one else is willing..." Just as the young man of the Food God Clan was about to speak, suddenly, a voice interrupted, "One thousand one hundred Divine Spirit Veins."
One thousand one hundred!
Everyone was taken aback and turned their gazes toward VIP Room No. 4.
The speaker was none other than Yang Xiaotian.
Chen Keying was also startled.
This VIP Room No. 4, she was aware, had been reported to her by her subordinates; it was the consignor of the two hundred five-disaster top-grade Bodhi Pills from yesterday.
The four members of the Food God Clan were startled as well and then, the one who had spoken earlier’s eyes turned icy, "There actually is someone who is not afraid of death." He then licked his lips, revealing a bloodthirsty expression, "One thousand one hundred and one Divine Spirit Veins!"
"One thousand two hundred," said Yang Xiaotian calmly.
Upon hearing this, the face of the young man from the Food God Clan darkened, and he huffed coldly, "Kid, you’re looking for death, you know that? No matter who you are, you’re dead today!" He then shouted, "One thousand two hundred and one!"
But before he could finish, Yang Xiaotian’s voice continued, "One thousand three hundred."
Seeing Yang Xiaotian persist in ’antagonizing’ them, the four members of the Food God Clan had murderous looks and auras, but they eventually did not continue to bid further.
The other powerhouses hesitated for a moment and also did not follow up with any more bids.
After a while, seeing no one else continuing to bid, Chen Keying closed the deal; Yang Xiaotian had successfully acquired the Hanhai Divine Iron.
Yang Xiaotian breathed a sigh of relief.
Originally, such a large chunk of Hanhai Divine Iron was worth more than one thousand three hundred Divine Spirit Veins, and he had managed to purchase it at such a low price now, thanks in large part to the interference of several members of the Food God Clan.
A while later, the counter manager delivered the Hanhai Divine Iron to Yang Xiaotian’s VIP room. However, Yang Xiaotian had an agreement with the association to settle accounts after his elixirs were auctioned, so he didn’t have to pay immediately.
Looking at the Hanhai Divine Iron before him, Yang Xiaotian tapped it with his hand, finding it heavier than an Ancient Divine Mountain. No wonder it took several experts of the association just to lift the Hanhai Divine Iron onto the auction stage.
Yang Xiaotian stored the Hanhai Divine Iron into the Green Dragon Heavenly Cauldron. At this moment, the auction continued with the second showpiece item.
"The next item for auction is a relic left by the Chaos Demon Lord," Chen Keying’s sweet voice rose, "The Chaos Demon Lord, I’m sure everyone knows who he is."
With these words, she took out a dark, wooden sword.
This wooden sword was a bit smaller than a typical Divine Sword, engraved with Demon Race Runes, with rolling Chaos Qi, emanating astonishing demonic might and the force of darkness.
As the Chaos Wooden Sword was drawn out, everyone’s gaze was fervently fixed on it, with the four members of the Food God Clan staring intently at the sword.
"This Chaos Wooden Sword was personally crafted by the Chaos Demon Lord and was obtained by a friend of my father, who is now entrusting the auction house to auction it for him," Chen Keying introduced. "Don’t be fooled by its wooden appearance; its power is extremely astonishing, capable of easily severing many divine swords."
With that, she took out an exceptionally hard piece of Divine Iron.
Then, she lightly drew the wooden sword across it, and the slab of Divine Iron was sliced cleanly in two.
"This sword was forged from the branches of the Chaos Divine Tree," Chen Keying revealed, to everyone’s astonishment.
"What, forged from branches of the Chaos Divine Tree!" The crowd was taken aback, and a buzz of surprise ran through them.
Yang Xiaotian was also astonished.
No wonder the aura of chaos was so remarkable coming from the branches of the Chaos Divine Tree.
"We call this sword the Chaos Wooden Sword."
"This sword may contain astonishing secrets, perhaps even relating to the secrets of the Chaos Demon Lord’s Cave Mansion."
"The starting bid is ten thousand Divine Spirit Veins!"
"Each increment must be no less than one hundred Divine Spirit Veins."
Many family experts who were originally interested in the Chaos Wooden Sword suddenly dropped out; ten thousand Divine Spirit Veins was an amount even many top forces on the Desolate Continent would struggle to muster on short notice.
Ten thousand Divine Spirit Veins was equivalent to a Lower Grade Chaos Spirit Vein.
Yang Xiaotian also eyed the wooden sword on the auction stage, and then asked Master Ding if the sword was worth bidding for.
Although Chen Keying said the sword might contain astonishing secrets, it was clear to everyone that this was just a typical auction house hype.
If it truly contained amazing secrets, Duobao Venerable’s friend wouldn’t have been foolish enough to auction it off.
"Bid for it," Master Ding affirmed confidently.
Hearing Master Ding instruct to bid for it, Yang Xiaotian was taken aback. Could it be that the sword indeed contained astonishing secrets?
"Eleven thousand Divine Spirit Veins," the young man from the Food God Clan called out to bid.
"Twelve thousand," Yang Xiaotian said without a second thought.
Since Master Ding insisted he bid for it, there must be something special about this sword.
The four members of the Food God Clan, seeing that it was the occupant of room number four causing trouble again, were overwhelmed with murderous bloodlust.
"Thirteen thousand," the young man from the Food God Clan said angrily.
"Fourteen thousand," Yang Xiaotian continued to bid.
"Fifteen thousand."
...
The voices of the Food God Clan and Yang Xiaotian bidding against each other resonated without cease, and they quickly reached thirteen thousand.
When Yang Xiaotian called out thirteen thousand, the four members of the Food God Clan were livid.
If it hadn’t been for the fact that they were at the Duobao Commerce Association’s auction, they would probably have already lost their temper and charged at Yang Xiaotian from the next room over.
In the end, when the bidding reached fifteen thousand, the Food God Clan did not continue.
"Don’t worry, that kid won’t get away. Once the auction is over and he steps out, we’ll devour him alive, and then we’ll take his Chaos Wooden Sword and that slab of Vast Sea Divine Iron," one of the Food God Clan experts told the others. "Surely, he has other treasures on him!"
Ultimately, Yang Xiaotian successfully acquired the Chaos Wooden Sword.
"This wooden sword has an Inner Space," Master Ding explained. "This Inner Space is extremely secretive and difficult to detect. Ordinary divine power can’t open this sword’s Inner Space, but your Chaos Darkness Godhood can."
"Within the Inner Space, there are not only Chaos Spirit Veins, but also Heavenly Dao Holy Water and other treasures, the value of which far exceeds fifteen thousand Divine Spirit Veins."
