"It's actually a Flame Gold Armor that can be used by the Void Realm. I didn't expect that the first item sold at the Wanbao Tower auction would be a treasure of this level."
"The Flame Gold Armor that you used? It seems that we can only watch from the sidelines. I guess only the city lords can come up with 1000 million life crystals."
"1000 million life crystals, this price has to be multiplied tenfold. If it can really have a huge effect on the Void Realm, I'm afraid those city lords above will not let it go..."
...Listening to the discussions of the people around him, Wang Cheng didn't care much. After all, treasures of this level were of no use to Wang Cheng.
But Wang Cheng also felt that this piece of armor should be able to be sold at a good price.
After all, for those city lords, they all know that the battlefield of gods and demons has begun. Having such a piece of armor can naturally improve their ability to survive.
As expected, just as Wang Cheng's idea came to mind, someone in the hall immediately made a bid:
"1100 million life crystals!"
"You must be kidding. You want to get this treasure with just a little bit of money? I'll pay you 2000 million life crystals."
"3000 million..."
……
With one offer after another, in just a blink of an eye, the price of the Yanjin Armor exceeded 100 million life crystals.
"It seems that only those big shots can fight for it. Unfortunately, this treasure has no fate with me..."
"Those big shots are not fools. They probably won't raise the price too much. After all, no matter how precious the Flame Gold Armor is, it's only worth 9000 million Life Crystals..."
……
However, contrary to most people's expectations, the price of the Yanjin Armor was finally called out to 1 million, and was eventually bought by a Venerable in the Kongming Realm.
"No way? It doesn't seem wise to spend such a huge price to get such a battle armor..."
"These big shots really don't take life crystals seriously. They casually take out tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of life crystals to squander..."
……
But it was different from what they imagined. The Yanjin Armor was sent to a suspended VIP room.
A venerable city lord inside looked at the armor and a smile appeared on his face:
"Those idiots don't know shit. You should know that this Flame Gold Armor is not worth so much in normal times, but now is a matter of life and death. With one more layer of defense, the chance of survival will be increased. Otherwise, how could there be so many places for Fountain of Life training..."
……
As the treasures were auctioned off one by one, Bai Qi smiled and said,
"I guess everyone is attending the auction this time for the final treasure. If that's the case, I won't keep you in suspense any longer..."
Looking at the anxious expressions on the faces of the people below, he couldn't help but smiled and said:
"This time, thanks to the trust and entrustment of the City Lord, our Wanbao Tower will auction 100 places for cultivation in the Fountain of Life!"
After hearing Bai Qi's words, there was an uproar below:
"No way, there are so many quotas? In the past, there was only one quota at each auction..."
"There shouldn't be any problem with the quota this time, how come there are so many? But if there is no problem, having so many quotas is actually a good thing for us..."
Chapter 674 Obtaining a quota
"I believe everyone knows how precious it is to enter the Fountain of Life to practice. In the past, there was only one quota at the auction, but this time the city lord showed mercy and directly increased the number to hundreds. This kind of opportunity is rare."
Bai Qi looked around and said with a smile:
"No one has to compete openly for the spot. Each spot will be bid secretly, and the highest bidder will win. The time limit is one month..."
Originally, many auctioneers thought they could get some advantage this time, but once the secret bidding competition method was used, it would be different. After all, secret bidding tests courage and luck, while open bidding tests financial resources.
“Although there are more places this time, I’m afraid the price of each place will only be higher than the price in previous years’ auctions. After all, that is the only reference price standard.”
"I must buy a place this time. The ancestor said that there will be a great crisis during this period. The stronger you are, the greater the possibility of overcoming the crisis..."
"I didn't expect Wanbaolou to be so shrewd. It seems that it is impossible to take advantage of them. In the past few years, each quota was worth tens of millions of life crystals. I'm afraid that this time, the bottom line will be tens of millions of crystals..."
……
As for whether some people will feel that the quota is too expensive and will not participate in the auction, that is basically impossible.
After all, the Fountain of Life has extraordinary effects on the Void Realm, and even greater effects on the Celestial Realm and the Manifestation Realm.
Even those who are strong in the Manifestation Realm will be able to cross more than one small realm if they are lucky, and those in the Celestial Realm will basically step into the Manifestation Realm unless they are extremely unlucky.
It can be said that this quota is the guarantee for admission to the realm of manifestation of holiness, and only the Lord of Dry Bones can possess such a treasure.
Within the entire territory of the Lord of Dry Bones, there are no less than a hundred Venerable-level cities.
Not to mention that there are many hidden forces outside these cities.
So although hundreds of places may seem like a lot, to be honest they are not enough to accommodate so many people participating in the auction.
Wang Cheng looked at Bai Qi on the podium and couldn't help but admire his thoughtfulness. He then directly entered a number:
"I can't go to the front, the back, or the middle, so I'll just choose number 23. Besides, these life crystals are useless to me. I can use the life crystals I got from the Mogu Lord before. For me, the Fountain of Life is the most important..."
Seeing many auction participants below concentrating on thinking, and then carefully entering the price, Bai Qi's eyes were full of smiles:
"I think the harvest this time should satisfy the city lord..."
After a full hour, Bai Qi looked at the time and then shouted loudly:
"Attention, guests, the time is up. It will be impossible to make further bids. This time, the winners of each quota will be directly displayed..."
As the other party finished speaking, a ray of light suddenly appeared on the podium, and under the number 100, the prices of many participants in the auction appeared densely.
“1号名的价码3000万生命结晶……,23号名额的价码5000万生命结晶……,100号名额的价码是4000万生命结晶,恭喜以上100位客人得到了这一次进入生命之泉修行的机会……”
"5000 million life crystals? Who is so stupid as to offer such a high price?"
"I didn't expect that the price of the quota would be higher if I used this secret bidding method. It would be better to auction directly with an open bid..."
"Haha, I guess the one who feels the most distressed is the one who bid for the No. 23 spot. He bid the highest price among all the spots, which is 5 times the reserve price..." "I hope you won't use this method in the future. Otherwise, I'm afraid the price of this spot will be even more terrifying..."
……
Wang Cheng looked at his 5000 million price tag and listened to the discussions of other bidders in the auction hall. He couldn't help but twitch his lips:
"It seems that I am being too cautious and prudent, but it doesn't matter, as long as I can get the quota."
After these 100 places were auctioned off, the auction at Wanbaolou naturally ended.
The next step is naturally to pay the bill and then obtain the items you auctioned.
A member of Wanbaolou had arrived in front of Wang Cheng's seat, holding a plate with a token and a card on it.
"Dear guest, this is the quota you are bidding for. Would you like to settle the bill now?"
Wang Cheng nodded slightly when he heard that. He stretched out his hand and a large piece of life crystal floated in front of the other party. Then he directly grabbed the token in the plate.
The members of Wanbaolou reached out to collect the pile of life crystals in front of them, and said to Wang Cheng with a smile:
"My dear guest, the amount you spent on participating in the auction this time has exceeded 1000 million life crystals, so you will receive a VIP card from our Wanbaolou. From now on, you will enjoy a 9% discount on all purchases from Wanbaolou. This is your card, please keep it..."
Listening to the Wanbaolou member introducing the card to him, Wang Cheng picked up the card and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows:
"Are there any other benefits for this VIP card? I want to find a place to stay and wait for the Fountain of Life to open."
After hearing Wang Cheng's words, the member in front of him smiled and said to Wang Cheng:
"That's absolutely no problem. Many people who have purchased quotas before also chose to stay in our Wanbao Building and wait for the opening of the Fountain of Life. With your VIP level, our Wanbao Building can provide you with free accommodation and delicious meals."
When Wang Cheng heard that he could eat and live for free here, he naturally had no intention of running out to find a place to stay. Looking at the room assigned to him, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.
"Although it's free, I didn't expect the space to be quite large. It's no problem to live there for a short period of time. I just don't know how to enter the Fountain of Life..."
Wang Cheng picked up the quota token that he had won at the auction before. There was a number 23 marked on it. After probing with his spiritual sense, he instantly knew the function of the destiny card.
"You need to leave a soul mark to activate the token, but it seems that this thing can be robbed. It seems that during the time when the Fountain of Life is opened, it will not be peaceful."
Time passed quickly, and Wang Cheng also felt some of the power that had erupted in the City of Dry Bones in the past few days, and couldn't help but shook his head.
"My previous prediction turned out to be correct. Those who were weak and won the Fountain of Life basically did not have a good ending, even in the Wanbao Building."
Wang Cheng also encountered an assassination attempt during these days, but the opponent was only at the Manifestation Saint Realm.
After coming to Wang Cheng, he did not cause any waves, which made Wang Cheng's reputation skyrocket instantly.
To the outside world, the ability to kill a master at the Manifestation Saint Realm level silently means that his strength must not be low.
Chapter 675 The Fountain of Life
Wang Cheng didn't have to wait long. Soon he found that a light began to emerge on the token. Then a ray of light appeared, and a space ripple enveloped him.
Feeling himself enveloped by a force of space, Wang Cheng did not resist. After all, through previous exploration, he already knew that this was the token that would teleport them to the gathering place.
The light on the token did not last long. After a few breaths, Wang Cheng felt the scenery in front of him change, and then he found himself in a hall.
At this time, a voice came from the upper seat in the hall:
"All the people who are going to enter the secret realm for cultivation have arrived. Through the tokens, everyone should have known the taboos of entering the secret realm for cultivation. Each person only has a thousand years to cultivate. When the time is up, they will be automatically teleported out of the secret realm..."
Wang Cheng looked at the master at the peak of the Void Realm sitting in front of the seat in the hall, feeling somewhat disappointed:
"I didn't expect that the Lord of Dry Bones hasn't shown up yet. I wonder when he will show up..."
However, for Wang Cheng, it didn’t matter whether the other party showed up or not. As long as he entered the place where the Fountain of Life was, his goal would be achieved.
After the other party finished speaking, he waved his hand, and a door instantly formed in the hall:
"Okay, you can enter now. Of course, if you enter without a token, you will be strangled by the power on the gate. Now enter one by one."
Although the other party was very rude, his cultivation was truly at the peak of the Void Realm. Among those who had obtained the quota to practice, the strongest was only at the early stage of the Void Realm, and most of the others were at the Manifestation Saint level.
It was obvious that these people knew the identity of the person in front of them, so not only did they not feel indignant, but they even looked very respectful.
Soon, the winners of the quota entered the portal one by one quickly. As the tokens on their bodies flashed, everyone entered the secret realm in an orderly manner.
As soon as Wang Chengfu entered the so-called secret realm, he became refreshed and saw that the entire secret realm was filled with an extremely strong breath of life.
Then Wang Cheng looked at the huge lake in the center of the secret realm, which was filled with colorful water. Each drop of water was very thick, like mercury.
"Is that the Fountain of Life? I didn't expect it to be so big."
"Is all the water in that lake the spring of life? The amount is too much..."
