CHAPTER 1697: CHAPTER 1695: RELIC KEY

"Next for auction is a treasure that can quickly enhance a martial artist’s strength, and it is what our Zijin Commerce Guild obtained at great expense. This treasure is the rare Spirit Fruit, Fire Dragon Fruit!"

As Yuan Zhimo spoke, she opened a box, revealing a completely red fruit before everyone, emitting vast energy, with an intense Spirit Fruit aroma spreading around.

"Fire Dragon Fruit, such a precious item being brought out for auction, truly worthy of the Zijin Commerce Guild!"

Reen Tianwu exclaimed.

"This Fire Dragon Fruit contains incredibly strong energy!"

Xiao Yifeng said in a deep voice.

"If a Hollow Void Realm Expert consumes this fruit, it can elevate their realm by one or two levels, making it an exceptional cultivation treasure!"

Reen Tianwu remarked offhandedly.

"Kid, bid for this Fire Dragon Fruit and give it to your disciple, the energy in this fruit can better stimulate the Martial Vein Force within him, possibly pushing him directly to the Opening Spirit Realm."

Long Qian spoke.

"Understood!"

Xiao Yifeng nodded. Although he initially wanted to bid for the Fire Dragon Fruit for himself, since it has a greater effect on Yun Tianxiao, he did not mind.

After all, Xiao Yifeng had high hopes for this disciple, hoping his strength could increase rapidly.

At this moment, the entire auction house was in a frenzy over the Fire Dragon Fruit, eyes filled with greedy enthusiasm, especially those young Hollow Void Realm talents.

Everyone wanted to obtain the Fire Dragon Fruit to enhance their strength, and some forces among the various clans and experts were eager, ready to bid at any moment.

"Fire Dragon Fruit, starting bid is one hundred Top-grade Spirit Stones, bidding starts now!"

Yuan Zhimo directly stated.

The starting price of this Fire Dragon Fruit was terrifying, directly at one hundred Top-grade Spirit Stones, equivalent to ten thousand Superior Grade Spirit Stones, but no price could stop everyone’s desire for power enhancement.

"Two hundred!"

"Three hundred!"

"Five hundred!"

"Seven hundred!"

As soon as Yuan Zhimo spoke, the price of the Fire Dragon Fruit soared dramatically, the speed was simply alarming.

In no time, the price reached two thousand Top-grade Spirit Stones, which was a price beyond what ordinary people could bear, causing more than half of them to withdraw from the bidding.

"Three thousand Top-grade Spirit Stones!"

Lin Dong, the Young Master of Lin Family, opened bidding among the Five Great Clans.

"Five thousand Top-grade Spirit Stones!"

The voice of Fourth Prince Feng Yu was heard, clearly participating in the bidding.

"Ten Inferior Grade Spirit Crystals!"

At this moment, Crown Prince Feng Chen’s voice was heard for the first time, reaching throughout the auction house, astonishing everyone. An Inferior Grade Spirit Crystal is equivalent to one thousand Top-grade Spirit Stones.

These ten Inferior Grade Spirit Crystals are equal to ten thousand Top-grade Spirit Stones, doubling the previous offer, truly displaying grandeur.

Seeing Feng Chen’s bid, Lin Dong and Feng Yu’s faces were not pleasant, yet they still gave up on bidding, as the Crown Prince Feng Chen controlled most of the Spirit Stones and Spirit Crystals in the Wind Cloud Kingdom’s Imperial Family, making it impossible for others to compete.

"Big brother, it seems this Fire Dragon Fruit belongs to you, with it, your power can once again be elevated."

In the box with Feng Chen, Feng Cai’er spoke to him, showing no change in his serene expression.

"Fifty Inferior Grade Spirit Crystals!"

Unexpectedly at this moment, a peculiar voice rang out pervasively in the Zijin Auction House, surprising everyone.

Not everyone can possess Spirit Crystals, even entities like the Five Great Clans have few Spirit Crystals within their ranks, mostly relying on Spirit Stones. Only the Wind Cloud Kingdom’s Imperial Family stores a portion of Spirit Crystals, but not many.

Given the scarce resources in South Desolation, even Spirit Stone resources are limited, let alone Spirit Crystals, which are even rarer, yet someone offered fifty Inferior Grade Spirit Crystals, enough to drop jaws.

"It’s that guy!"

Feng Cai’er said suddenly.

Feng Chen stated.

"Xiao Yifeng, the person I wanted you, big brother, to help me deal with, also the person Fourth Brother has always been trying to recruit!"

Feng Cai’er said, having not recognized Xiao Yifeng’s voice at first, but caught it upon the second listen.

"Xiao Yifeng!"

Feng Chen murmured to himself.

"Kid, your bid shows some grandeur!"

Reen Tianwu looked at Xiao Yifeng, exclaiming.

"One Middle Grade Spirit Crystal!"

Feng Chen announced again, one Middle Grade Spirit Crystal is equivalent to one hundred Inferior Grade Spirit Crystals.

"One Superior Grade Spirit Crystal!"

Xiao Yifeng’s statement caused a stir throughout the room.

One Superior Grade Spirit Crystal is equal to ten thousand Inferior Grade Spirit Crystals, which almost no one present could afford, not even Feng Chen.

After all, these Imperial Spirit Crystals do not solely belong to him, despite his authority, he could not utilize them entirely.

"That damned fellow, daring to challenge big brother, truly unaware of impending doom!"

Feng Cai’er said indignantly.

Feng Chen remained calm, showing no sign of anger.

Eventually, Xiao Yifeng easily took the Fire Dragon Fruit, and one Superior Grade Spirit Crystal hardly mattered to him.

Subsequently at the auction, an Imperial Grade Third Rank Elixir was up for auction, of greater value than the Fire Dragon Fruit, as Imperial-rank Elixirs are not easily obtainable.

This elixir too was secured directly by Xiao Yifeng with three Superior Grade Spirit Crystals, leaving no room for competition.

Next, a highly precious artifact refining material named Xuanjin was presented, regarded as the best material for crafting swords.

However, due to its extreme hardness, common flames are insufficient to melt Xuanjin, requiring Earthfire, which limited interest in bidding. Nonetheless, Xiao Yifeng bid successfully, despite lacking artifact refining skills currently.

But the Yin-Yang Forbidden Tome encompasses content on formations, naturally including artifact refining knowledge, enabling him to utilize Xuanjin in the future upon mastering artifact refining, or opting to enlist an Artifact Refiner for crafting.

"Alright, the next auction item is not something else, but a key!"

Yuan Zhimo produced a long, black key and informed.

The crowd was taken aback upon seeing this key, confused as to how a mere key could be auction-worthy.

"All should not underestimate this key; it is a key capable of unlocking the relic of a Dominant Realm Expert."

Yuan Zhimo stated.

"The key to unlock a Dominant Realm Expert’s relic!"

The crowd was astounded upon hearing Yuan Zhimo’s words, realizing that the relic of a Dominant Realm Expert is far from ordinary, bound to house numerous treasures.

This offers tremendous allure to anyone on the Martial Path, even to Life and Death Realm Experts.

Perhaps they might discover secrets within to break through to the Dominant Realm, instantly captivating many attendees whose eyes burned with fervent desire fixed upon the key.
