I Can Strengthen Everything

Chapter 188: Chapter 111: Demon King Core, Celestial Scroll

"Three..."

"Senior Brother Xu, I’m out of money! Stop bidding. The two of us combined don’t have that much." Seeing Xu Yan about to call out another price, Lin Ze quickly grabbed his hand.

"Why didn’t you bring more?" Xu Yan glared at him.

Lin Ze: "..."

’You’re the one bidding, not me, and you’re blaming me?!’

Lin Ze’s anger flared at Xu Yan’s words, but intimidated by Xu Yan’s imposing presence, he could only suppress his rage.

"Senior Brother Xu, we left in a hurry this time. I don’t have that much money on me."

Lin Ze sighed helplessly.

At his words, Xu Yan seemed to deflate as if all the strength had been drained from him, the light in his eyes dimming.

"Damn it all! They’d better hope I never find out who they are, or we’ll be enemies to the death!"

Veins bulged on Xu Yan’s forehead as he let out a low, bestial snarl.

"Congratulations to our esteemed guest number eighty-eight for winning this item!"

The auctioneer’s voice rang out, the fall of the gavel sealing the deal.

"Success."

Watching the auctioneer’s gavel fall, Fang Xing let out a sigh of relief.

He had taken quite a risk this time.

Although he could borrow money from the other two for the auction, it wasn’t his own. Using it inevitably came with a certain pressure.

"Three hundred fifty thousand gold... The price, hmm, is actually not bad," Zhou Yu nodded.

Fang Xing came back to his senses and looked at Hong Miaojin. "Your Excellency, I may need to borrow two hundred sixty thousand gold from you."

’Instead of owing two people, it’s better to just owe one.’

Hearing this, Hong Miaojin’s expression didn’t change in the slightest; she simply gave a light nod.

Seeing this, Fang Xing immediately clasped his hands in a salute. "Thank you, Your Excellency. This subordinate will definitely repay the money as soon as possible."

"There’s no hurry. Just pay it back slowly when you have it," Hong Miaojin said faintly.

Fang Xing smiled slightly at her words.

’What a great superior.’

Anywhere else, it would be impossible to borrow hundreds of thousands of gold so easily.

Hundreds of thousands of gold was no small sum.

Although Fang Xing knew Hong Miaojin was making this move to win him over because she saw potential in his cultivation, it could still be considered a form of "investment transaction."

He was, of course, well aware of this point.

The only thing he could do was to perform beautifully on the tasks Hong Miaojin assigned him in the future and do his best to repay the money.

A short while later, the Demon King Core that Fang Xing had won was delivered. He took out the money he had on him, transferred two hundred sixty thousand gold from Hong Miaojin’s card, and completed the transaction.

With the Demon King Core in his hands, the weight in Fang Xing’s heart was finally lifted.

Although he didn’t have enough Enhancement Points right now, he wasn’t in a hurry. If worse came to worst, he just had to complete more missions.

The demon and monster infestation in Cang Province was on a completely different level than Jiang Province.

As long as his luck was decent and he killed enough Demons and Monsters, getting five hundred thousand Enhancement Points wouldn’t be a huge problem.

...

The auction soon reached its final act.

The last auction item was officially revealed.

A golden scroll.

[Celestial Mental Consciousness Scroll. Condenses the heart’s blood and consciousness of the Celestial Martial Dao. Enhancement Cost: Fifty Million Enhancement Points!]

[Current Enhancement Level insufficient. Unable to enhance!]

"Holy shit!"

Fang Xing’s heart trembled as he stared at the panel prompts before him.

’A Celestial Mental Consciousness Scroll... condenses the heart’s blood of the Celestial Martial Dao... fifty million Enhancement Points...’

Waves of shock crashed through Fang Xing’s mind.

This final auction item was truly a heavyweight.

It had been a long time since Fang Xing had encountered a situation where his Enhancement Level was insufficient.

This was the first time it had happened since he broke through to the Two-star Level.

’Something from the Celestial Human Realm... I can only look at this thing.’

Fang Xing sighed internally.

Even if he had the money to buy it, it would probably be useless to him.

He was only in the True Qi Realm. The gap between that and the Celestial Human Realm was an insurmountable, sky-shattering chasm!

Buying it would be fucking useless.

His power level wasn’t even close to being high enough!

"Esteemed guests, this will be the final item of tonight’s auction: a Martial Dao Mental Scroll from the Celestial Human Realm. It condenses the very heart’s blood of a Celestial Human Realm expert, contains their Celestial Martial Dao consciousness, and even holds a remnant of the Path of Heaven and Earth. This can increase a martial artist’s probability of breaking through to the Celestial Human Realm."

The auctioneer’s voice echoed throughout the hall. In that instant, countless pairs of eyes were fixed in unison on the golden scroll on the stage.

"Now that’s a real treasure. This trip wasn’t a waste."

In the private box, Hong Miaojin’s eyes shone brightly.

Hearing her, Fang Xing and Zhou Yu turned to look at her in unison.

"Your Excellency, you’re interested in this item?" Zhou Yu asked curiously.

"This item might be able to improve my strength. It seems today was not a wasted trip after all."

A smile appeared on Hong Miaojin’s face.

’Yes, given her level of power, this item might have an unexpected effect.’

The thought flashed through Fang Xing’s mind.

Hong Miaojin had already reached the Great Perfection of the True Essence Realm.

She was the number one Marshal in all of Celestial South.

Her power was extraordinary and unparalleled.

Only something like this could capture her attention.

Even miracle elixirs couldn’t compare.

"The starting bid for this item is five million gold! Each subsequent bid must be an increment of no less than five hundred thousand gold!"

The auctioneer’s voice rang out.

The hall fell silent.

Five million gold!

The starting price alone was far beyond what an ordinary person could even dream of bidding.

However, for a Divine Object that could increase one’s chances of breaking through to the Celestial Human Realm, it was worth it.

The Celestial Human Realm was the domain of Martial Dao Saint Level beings.

A Celestial Martial Saint’s power could reach the heavens and shake the earth!

"Five million, five hundred thousand!"

After a brief silence, a voice called out a bid.

"Six million!"

Immediately after, a second voice followed with another bid.

"Seven million!" A third bid emerged.

...

After just five bids, the price had already soared to a staggering nine million gold!

’I’m so fucking poor...’

Listening to one staggering bid after another, Fang Xing couldn’t help but sigh in amazement.

He originally thought that hundreds of thousands of gold was already an astonishing amount, but now it seemed his perspective had been far too narrow.
