I Can Strengthen Everything

Chapter 189: Chapter 111: Demon King Core, Celestial Scroll

This Cang Province City is truly full of hidden masters!

Just being able to attend an auction like this and witness such a grand spectacle made the trip worthwhile.

"Ten million!"

A sixth voice called out a bid. Fang Xing glanced at Hong Miaojin beside him, his heart clenching.

Ten million gold coins!

’The financial power of this super-rich woman is simply astounding.’

She didn’t even bat an eye.

"Eleven million!"

The price continued to climb.

Six voices bid back and forth.

In no time, the price reached twenty million gold coins!

And it still wasn’t over.

The bidding continued, but the six bidders had dwindled to four.

Fang Xing watched in silence.

Listening as Hong Miaojin continuously called out higher and higher prices, he began to wonder, ’Is she carrying the national treasury with her?!’

...

With four bidders competing, the price soon reached thirty million gold coins.

And then, only two bidders remained!

"Thirty-one million!"

The other voice continued the bidding, but just as the words were spoken, an astonishing new price was announced.

"Forty million!"

Hong Miaojin had raised the price by a full nine million gold coins in a single breath.

The moment this bid was announced, the other voice fell completely silent.

After a brief silence, and confirming no new bids were forthcoming, the auctioneer’s gavel fell, sealing the deal.

"Congratulations to our distinguished guest in Suite Three for the winning bid of forty million gold coins!"

...

"Forty million gold coins..."

Fang Xing felt as if his heart had stopped beating. The price was truly staggering.

Looking at Hong Miaojin’s beautiful face, Fang Xing found her completely unreadable.

It seemed that even forty million gold coins was not her limit.

If the other bidder had continued, he had no doubt that Hong Miaojin would have gone all the way.

She was determined to obtain this Celestial Scroll!

A moment later, the Celestial Scroll was delivered to their suite.

Hong Miaojin took out a Storage Pouch and tossed it to the steward before her.

"Combined with the remainder on the card, this should be enough. You can count it."

The steward chuckled and nodded. After counting the contents, he bowed deeply. "Congratulations, Lord Hong, on winning this treasured item. We look forward to your patronage again in the future."

Hong Miaojin paid him no mind, her gaze fixed on the Celestial Scroll in her hands.

Beside her, Fang Xing and Zhou Yu peeked over with curiosity.

They could feel an incomparably terrifying aura emanating from the golden scroll.

A single wisp of its aura made them feel as if it were difficult to breathe.

It even caused the spirit of the Celestial Court within him to tremble.

’This thing... it must be a supreme Divine Object. I wonder if I’ll ever have the chance to encounter something like it again.’

The thought flashed through Fang Xing’s mind.

Without sufficient strength, one wouldn’t even be qualified to comprehend such a Divine Object.

Hong Miaojin put away the golden scroll and looked at Fang Xing and Zhou Yu.

"Alright, the auction is over. Let’s head back."

The two snapped out of their daze and followed Hong Miaojin out of the suite.

The results of tonight’s bidding would surely send shockwaves throughout Cang Province.

A price in the tens of millions of gold was an astronomical figure, unimaginable to ordinary people and even to most Martial Artists.

The wealth involved in this single auction was enough to fund the resources needed to create multiple Martial Dao Powerhouses.

...

After leaving the auction house, the group boarded a carriage and returned to the Observatory.

Fang Xing, however, returned to Qingfeng Villa.

Tonight’s auction had truly been an eye-opener for him, greatly expanding his horizons.

Furthermore, his own gains for the evening were astonishing.

A Middle Grade Spiritual Treasure-level Blood Spirit Seal, and an Inner Core from an Initial Realm Demon King.

These two items would both provide a massive boost to his strength.

The Demon King Core, in particular, was the key to his breakthrough to the Late Stage of the True Qi Realm.

With the Demon King Core, the time it would take for him to break through to the Late Stage of the True Qi Realm would be shortened considerably.
