CHAPTER 546: CHAPTER 544: EXCITED HUMAN EMPEROR_1

"This spear, known as the ’Falling Flow Red Melt Gun’, was the weapon of Chu Liuyun, the ’Undefeated Spear God’, an expert in spear techniques who once shocked the Martial World. With this spear, Chu Liuyun roamed Jianghu, set Skypiercing Peak of the Saint Witch Religion ablaze, and challenged the Demonic Sect’s ten greatest experts. You must have heard of his legend."

As the white-haired elder finished speaking, a commotion immediately stirred below the stage. Indeed, the ’Falling Flow Red Melt Gun’ was the weapon of Chu Liuyun, the ’Undefeated Spear God’. After Chu Liuyun was defeated by the ten great Demonic Sect experts and subsequently died from his severe injuries, the spear had disappeared. Unexpectedly, it had ended up in the hands of the Black Market.

"If Mo Tianya were here, he would be interested in this item," Liu Feiyue said indifferently, gazing at the dazzling Treasure Spear in the transparent cabinet.

It had to be said that an item like the ’Falling Flow Red Melt Gun’ truly deserved to be called an exceptional Treasure. Many people had never even seen such a thing, so it was quite surprising that the Black Market would offer it for sale. After all, top-tier Treasures like this were generally the most prized possessions of major Sects, and no one would be willing to sell them.

The ’Netherworld Scroll’ in Sikong Yi’s possession was also a top-tier Treasure. However, compared to the ’Falling Flow Red Melt Gun’, the ’Netherworld Scroll’ was closer to being a Sacred Object. The spear, in turn, could likely be considered a Half-Divine Artefact.

Though the Treasure Spear was excellent, Ling Chen was not very interested. The Red Sky Sword he wielded was a genuine Divine Artefact. It would probably be very difficult to find another weapon in the Five Kingdoms that could surpass it.

The starting bid for the ’Falling Flow Red Melt Gun’ was five million taels of gold, but its final transaction price incredibly reached fifteen million taels. The final bidder was a senior member of Mo Tianya’s Sect.

"The second highlight item of this auction is a mysterious plant called God Perching Grass. It enhances the Heart Power of Practitioners. Even for warriors who do not cultivate Heart Power, refining the God Perching Grass can greatly boost their Martial Will, benefiting them for life."

"The starting bid for this God Perching Grass is five million taels of gold," the white-haired elder said with a smile.

This indeed seems to be a good item, Ling Chen thought, his eyes showing slight surprise and interest.

The price is indeed a bit steep. Judging by the current situation, the interest in the God Perching Grass might be slightly lower than that for the ’Falling Flow Red Melt Gun’, but the final price is likely to be around fifteen million as well.

This high price was still out of Ling Chen’s reach.

"Boy, you must get this God Perching Grass for me, no matter what!" Just as Ling Chen was about to give up, the Human Emperor’s voice suddenly rang out, filled with obvious excitement.

"Why?" Ling Chen was taken aback. He rarely saw the Human Emperor so excited and asked cautiously, "Does it have any special uses?"

"Yes, it has great uses." The Human Emperor’s voice contained a hint of pleasant surprise. "God Perching Grass is an excellent item for restoring Willpower. If we can obtain the God Perching Grass and refine it, my Will Incarnate can fully recover its power from its peak period!"

Recover its power from the peak period? A glint flashed in Ling Chen’s eyes. Is that the power you lent me at Sky Void Palace?

"That was far from my peak." The Human Emperor’s voice held a hint of contempt. "If I can get the God Perching Grass, in addition to restoring that power, my cultivation can increase by at least two more levels!"

Hearing this, Ling Chen’s eyes widened in shock. Back in the Sky Void Palace, by borrowing the power of the Human Emperor’s Will Incarnate, he had been able to defeat powerhouses like Dong Shenglong, who was at the Sky Apex Realm Third Layer. If that power were to improve by at least two more levels, wouldn’t that mean he could easily defeat even formidable figures like the Tianxu Palace Supreme Elder Zhong Ziqi?

Alright! Even if I have to sell everything I own, I must get this God Perching Grass! Clenching his teeth, Ling Chen slapped his thigh hard. There was no longer any need for hesitation; the God Perching Grass was a must-have, no matter what! At worst, he would just have to sell everything he owned.

The stronger the Human Emperor became, the better it was for Ling Chen. This would give him more confidence in future confrontations.

"You want this God Perching Grass? You might have to pay a hefty price," Liu Feiyue said, shaking his head as he saw Ling Chen’s eagerness. This wasn’t something ordinary people could afford. Moreover, it seemed that many people in the VIP boxes were interested in this God Perching Grass.

It can’t be helped. It looks like I’ll have to pay a heavy price today, Ling Chen thought, shaking his head. At this moment, he was determined to secure the God Perching Grass.

As expected, the auction price of the God Perching Grass quickly rose into the tens of millions. As the price soared, the number of bids started to dwindle.

"Thirteen million." The Sect Leader of the Sea Shark Sect called out a high price.

"Fourteen million." The bidder was a woman, none other than Lian Ji from the Saint Witch Religion.

This branch of the Saint Witch Religion sure is wealthy, Ling Chen thought, quite surprised to hear Lian Ji call out this price. It seemed that the Saint Witch Religion’s branch in the Black Sand Land, while not as affluent as a commercial giant like the Black Market, was still incredibly wealthy.

"Fourteen million five hundred thousand!" Yin Zongli gritted his teeth and ruthlessly added five hundred thousand taels. The God Perching Grass had the ability to substantially enhance Willpower. It was a rare Treasure; missing this chance meant it was gone forever. However, fourteen million five hundred thousand taels of gold was no small sum for him; it was practically his entire fortune.

As soon as Yin Zongli’s bid was announced, Lian Ji hesitated for a moment and finally shook her head, not placing another bid.

"Fifteen million!" However, just as Yin Zongli’s words fell, a young voice suddenly sounded from not far behind.

It’s this kid? Yin Zongli looked towards the sound and saw that the one who had just raised the price was none other than Ling Chen.

Damn it, is this little brat doing this on purpose? Yin Zongli seethed internally. He suspected Ling Chen was deliberately trying to give him a hard time and make him suffer losses. Why else would this kid have waited so long to place his bid, deliberately picking a fight with him?

However, he misunderstood Ling Chen. Ling Chen was determined to get the God Perching Grass; he would have bid regardless of who the competitor was. Ling Chen wasn’t bored enough to deliberately target Yin Zongli.

"Let it go, Young Master. Fifteen million is our limit. It’s not worth it for a single God Perching Grass," an elderly member of the Yin Family advised.

"Retreating is not Yin Zongli’s style." Yin Zongli took a deep breath, then raised his placard and shouted, "Fifteen million one hundred thousand!" He refused to believe Ling Chen could continue to raise the price.

"Sixteen million!" Without batting an eye, Ling Chen immediately raised his placard and increased the bid.
