"Distinguished guests, the next item to be auctioned is the grand finale of this auction—the Blackfire Bomb!"

"Each black fire bomb is as powerful as a full-force attack from a level Earth Spirit Beast Tamer, and there are twenty of them in this box. I don't need to say more about what that number means!"

Yang Meier paused for a moment at this point.

Seeing the impatient expressions on everyone's faces, he continued speaking.

"The starting bid for a box of black fire bombs is 100 million Blue Star Coins, and each bid must be at least 10 million!"

As soon as Yang Meier finished speaking, eager bidding erupted in the room.

Two hundred million!

Unlike the previous slow bidding, the Blackfire Bomb reached a price of 200 million as soon as the bid was placed, a huge leap that surprised many people present.

However.

This price was nothing to those who really wanted to bid on the black fire bomb, and someone immediately placed a bid.

"Two hundred and fifty million!"

Three hundred million!

"Four hundred million! Don't even think about taking it from me!"

Everyone bid against each other, and in a short time, the price of the Black Fire Bomb was driven up to 400 million!

"My goodness! The price has gone up way too fast!" Zhu Jiaxing couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Just as he was sighing, Zhu Jiayi, who had been sitting silently to the side, suddenly raised the sign in her hand.

Five hundred million!

"What?!"

Zhu Jiaxing's eyes widened instantly.

"Sis, are you crazy? Why did you buy black fire bombs?"

The Zhu family's only business is operating the Lihao Hotel. Even if they occasionally encounter dangerous situations involving outdoor adventures, they always hire professionals to do it, and Zhu Jiayi herself never has to get involved.

He really couldn't understand what Zhu Jiayi wanted to do with spending so much money on black fire bombs.

"Of course I have my own way of using it, so stop asking so many questions!"

Zhu Jiayi rolled her eyes in disgust, clearly unwilling to say anything more.

"have to!"

Zhu Jiaxing crossed his arms, leaned back in his chair, and didn't ask any more questions.

He knew that there was no point in saying anything more. His older sister had always been like this since she was a child. No matter what happened, she would always bear it on her own and never wanted to talk to him.

They could only pin their hopes on Lu Yuan and see if he could get any information out of him.

While the two were talking, the price of black fire bombs rose again.

"Five hundred and fifty million!"

Wu Qiushan raised the sign in his hand and shouted loudly.

Although he did not see the magical artifact as he had hoped, as Yang Meier had said, this box of black fire bombs could potentially be even more valuable than the magical artifact under different circumstances.

He wasn't the only one with the same idea; Xu Lanshan then raised his hand.

"Six hundred million!"

Although he has reached the Heavenly Evolution level, the Black Fire Bomb cannot be considered a trump card for him to save his life.

But when you're out and about, you never know what might happen. Having this box of black fire bombs on you is at least an extra guarantee of survival.

"Seven hundred million!"

Wu Qiushan raised the sign in his hand again and shouted loudly.

Eight hundred million!

Not to be outdone, Zhu Jiayi followed suit and raised her price as well.

The others present listened to the increasingly loud bidding, their faces filled with amazement and envy.

Is this the source of the confidence of the wealthy?

They only needed to raise the price by ten million each time, but these people kept raising it by one hundred million at a time. Is money really just a string of numbers?!

Such a terrifying rate of increase has completely dashed the hopes of some people who wanted to participate in the auction.

With such an astonishing price, even if they wanted to bid, they were simply powerless to do so!

Thinking of this, many people beat their chests and stamped their feet in regret.

If only they had raised funds in advance like Wu Qiushan, otherwise they wouldn't be stuck watching helplessly now!

...

"Mr. Xu, as a master of the Heavenly Evolution level, why are you competing with us for this Black Fire Bomb?"

Wu Qiushan smiled at Xu Lanshan and raised the sign in his hand again.

"I'll offer one billion!"

Xu Lanshan gave Wu Qiushan, whose face was full of determination, a deep look, and finally shook his head and sighed before putting down the sign in his hand.

The price of one billion has exceeded the highest price he had expected.

For him, paying an extra box of black fire bombs would be a completely unprofitable purchase.

With Xu Lanshan being the first to be eliminated, only Wu Qiushan and Zhu Jiayi remained as competitors for the Black Fire Bomb.

"Mr. Wu, I really need this box of black fire bombs. Could you please part with it and let me have it?"

Zhu Jiayi smiled slightly, then raised her sign and shouted, "Eleven billion!"

After hearing this, Wu Qiushan hesitated.

Firstly, as Xu Lanshan thought, as fellow Heavenly Evolution-level Beast Tamers, the Black Fire Bomb wasn't particularly effective against him.

The reason they rushed to bid was simply to have an extra means of survival in case of emergency.

But this is not necessary.

Moreover, what Wu Qiushan feared most was...

At every auction, Zhu Jiayi sat next to Lu Yuan, and the two siblings seemed to have a very good relationship with Lu Yuan.

He wasn't sure if he would be targeted if he took the black fire bomb from Zhu Jiayi. What if it would worsen Lu Yuan's impression of him?

He was determined to cling to Lu Yuan's powerful backer!

Thinking of this, Wu Qiushan finally gritted his teeth.

"I can see that Miss Zhu is sincere. Since that's the case, I'll do you a favor."

He put down his cards and smiled politely at Zhu Jiayi.

See here.

Zhu Jiayi nodded gratefully at him.

"Thank you, Mr. Wu."

Seeing that Wu Qiushan had given up on raising the price, Yang Meier, who was standing on the stage, picked up the gavel and, after confirming it three times, brought it down heavily.

"Congratulations, Miss Zhu, on successfully bidding for this box of black fire bombs for 1.1 billion!"

"After the auction, staff will explain to you how to use the black fire bomb. Please do not leave before then."

Zhu Jiayi smiled and nodded, indicating that she understood.

This is a matter of life and death, so you can't be careless!

What if you accidentally make a mistake? Wouldn't that just send yourself to your death?

With the successful auction of the last box of black fire bombs, the third auction held by the Divine Beast Auction House also came to a successful close.

Just as everyone was preparing to leave, Lu Yuan suddenly walked onto the stage.

Instantly.

Everyone's attention was drawn to it.

"Distinguished guests, the Divine Beast Auction House will be undergoing renovations and upgrades. The upcoming auctions will be open to members only, and only invited guests will be eligible to attend."

"As for the list, it will be selected from the guests who have paid the most so far, and they will be allowed to bring friends."

"The specific details and rules will be released on the official website of the Divine Beast Auction House in the future. Please check it out if you are interested in participating in the auction!"
