Chapter 292 The Couple Sets Up a Stall 5
Everyone present understood that King Zhong Dan had brought out this piece of phoenix tree wood because he was willing to sell it.
They were also well aware that this item was extremely valuable, and Zhong Cai might not have only one like it. They even guessed that Zhong Cai might have already used a dead tree with many buds to revive the Phoenix Immortal Tree, and this piece was only being offered for trade because the number of new buds was too small and the chances of reviving it were slim.
Of course, it's also possible that this couple only had one, not enough for both of them to use, so out of love and affection, they chose to exchange it for a treasure that would allow them to use it separately.
Regardless of the reason, it is an opportunity for the Battle Kings and Pill Kings, and it will not affect their covetousness for this immortal wood.
Who cares why they're selling?
Just buy it!
·
Zhong Cai smiled and said, "This item is unique and can be traded for items of equal value, with eighth-grade rare medicines being the first choice, followed by black stones."
Upon hearing this, all the Fighting Kings understood.
Regardless of whether the other party has more, we will only sell this one item.
As for who will actually get it... those cultivators who want it will probably have to bid against it.
The price of this immortal wood will inevitably be very high, after all, it is indeed a rare item.
·
The Pill Kings all frowned slightly.
Although they were very eager to try planting this tree, the Pill Kings would inevitably be reluctant to do so if it were traded for rare medicinal herbs.
Their aptitude is certainly good, but spending so much time on alchemy makes them less effective at improving their cultivation level compared to martial arts cultivators. They are somewhat certain whether they will achieve Nirvana in the future, but as for those who reach the Heavenly Realm... I dare not think about it too much.
The Pill Kings would be willing to spend a large amount of Xuan Stones to acquire this Immortal Wood, even if it meant spending more money, but they would not be willing to give up their own collection of precious herbs.
However, the fighting kings were already impatient and made their bids one after another.
"Three rare medicinal herbs of grade eight."
Four plants!
Six plants!
Although their families had already suffered heavy losses, they really didn't want to miss out, so they shamelessly prepared to offer prices using IOUs.
At worst, once they got the good stuff, they would quickly send a message to their respective factions and pay off the "debt" as soon as possible.
·
Neither the first nor the second Fighting King wasted any words.
With a flick of his finger, Chao Hanxiao conjured seven neatly arranged boxes in front of him.
Each box was open, revealing the level eight rare medicine inside.
The price of a level 8 rare medicine is at least 100 high-grade Xuan stones, but that's just the most common one. The rarer ones, with stronger medicinal effects, cost tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even more!
The level-eight rare medicine that Chao Hanxiao used was naturally not cheap.
Zhong Cai could roughly estimate that the price of each rare medicinal herb was no less than 50,000.
The seven boxes together contain approximately 400,000 high-grade Xuan stones!
However, the phoenix tree wood containing new buds and phoenix essence is actually between level eight and level nine, and its price can often reach several hundred thousand. Isn't that the kind of value that can help Nirvana break through to the Heavenly Realm? It often has a premium price.
Not to be outdone, Weng Yuxian waved her snow-white wrist and released... eight boxes.
The box also contained level eight rare medicines, each of which was very expensive, and the total price was even higher than Chao Hanxiao's.
That's right, the second-place winner has raised the price.
Chao Hanxiao pointed out another finger, causing three more boxes to appear.
He raised the price too.
The value of the precious medicines in the box remained about the same as before.
Weng Yuxian also raised the price.
·
Before long, Chao Hanxiao had sixteen boxes in front of him, while Weng Yuxian had eighteen.
Don't be fooled by their seemingly unassuming actions when they take out level-eight rare medicines; the atmosphere of competition between them is intense.
And it was precisely because the competition between the two had reached such a fever pitch that the other Battle Kings looked rather sullen.
Those who signed IOUs were already "insufficient in funds." Although they were initially shameless enough to offer some prices to join the bidding, now that the price is so high, it's not appropriate to continue to buy on credit.
They're all fighting kings, and not all competitors can't afford to pay. If you try to exchange an IOU for someone's near-level nine top-tier resources, that's just... a bit shameless.
So all the Fighting Kings had reddened their eyes, struggling in every way, but they could only open their mouths and then silently shut up.
The feelings of the Pill Kings were much more complicated.
Besides regretting that they couldn't get their hands on the immortal wood, they were also envious of Zhong Cai, who at such a young age and at the fifth level, was about to obtain so many level eight rare herbs!
Let alone a Pill King, even ordinary pill masters will constantly improve their pill-making skills while accumulating medicinal materials of various levels... The collection of this Pill King Zhong is unimaginably rich!
The more I think about it, the more jealous I get!
But at this moment, the competition is now limited to the top two fighting kings.
Everyone stared at the offers they made, their initial disappointment turning into utter astonishment.
This is a rare, grade eight medicine!
By the time many top fighters had decided to withdraw from the competition, the two had already offered more than twenty coins!
Upon closer reflection, this doesn't seem so strange.
The struggle between different paths is inherently this intense.
With their abilities, Chao Hanxiao and Weng Yuxian are currently the top two fifth-level Dou Wangs, and they will most likely become sixth-level Dou Wangs in the future, still vying for the top two positions. They will never admit defeat. And now that Chao Hanxiao has defeated Weng Yuxian, if he relaxes even slightly, Weng Yuxian might defeat him in the future!
As they advance through higher realms and climb the Heavenly Rankings time and time again, whoever falls behind will lose face.
When one reaches the Nirvana Realm, the struggle continues as one sees who can advance to the Heavenly Realm and who is blocked from entering.
These two never miss an opportunity that might offer them a helping hand.
not to mention……
The many Dou Wang and Dan Wang who made it onto the list also had a vague feeling about it.
Those who stay on the Sky Ranking for longer and have higher rankings seem to have stronger luck in the dark.
Sometimes, in a life-or-death competition, two equally matched Battle Kings or Pill Kings might have their fates decided by a slight difference in their luck.
We must not let our guard down.
All the top fighters on the leaderboard will continue to improve.
Besides saving face and the rewards they could get from the Sky Ranking, it was also for their own lives and property.
Those martial arts cultivators who risked their lives to try and climb the list, and those former Dou Wangs who fought hard and tried their best to get back on the list after being removed from it, all had similar reasons...
·
While the two were bidding, Zhong Cai's eyes never left the boxes.
So many precious medicinal herbs!
Although he had already accumulated countless rare herbs, the combined number of the level-eight rare herbs that these two Battle Kings brought out was actually several dozen, which was not much inferior to the level-eight rare herbs he had obtained from the Pill God Wood.
He only auctioned off a piece of phoenix tree wood!
Zhong Cai's eyes were bright.
As expected of the top two fighting kings, his wealth is so abundant!
Although he and Lao Wu had more valuable resources, they could not underestimate the heroes of the world.
[Old Wu, I think these two Battle Kings are the ones who have truly looted countless ruins; they're terrifying.]
After we've trained for a while longer, let's go out and gain some experience, and maybe try our luck.
That works! We'll discuss it when we get back!
[I'll listen to A-Cai.]
The two occasionally exchanged glances, communicating telepathically.
The competition between Chao Hanxiao and Weng Yuxian gradually slowed down.
Before long, the two took out level eight rare herbs... the quality was a little higher, but only one more herb would be added each time.
Moreover, similar rare medicines gradually emerged.
One quoted twenty-one, the other twenty-two.
Weng Yuxian gently bit her silver teeth.
Chao Hanxiao also hesitated slightly.
The two were indeed unwilling to give in to each other, and after arguing for so long, they both believed that they had a large quantity of rare medicines on hand. However, they did not expect that the other party's stock was no less than theirs, as if they could keep raising the price indefinitely.
It's not unreasonable to keep raising the price; any price is worthwhile for a treasure that can increase the chances of reaching the Heavenly Realm.
only……
When the two Battle Kings made their bids again, Chao Hanxiao added an eighth-level rare herb, bringing the total number of rare herbs to match the number Weng Yuxian had offered. The newly added herbs were all seventh-level rare herbs.
After adding approximately thirty level 7 plants to each plant, they were then upgraded to level 6 rare herbs.
The two added another thirty level-six rare herbs each, and then stopped.
They can't put all their precious medicines up for auction like this. They can trade them for other resources later. Some of them were stored up early and will be of great use for Nirvana cultivation.
The top two fighting kings both paused for a moment.
Zhong Cai understood and quietly transmitted her voice again.
[Old Wu, I feel that this is the most rare medicine they can offer at most.]
Wu Shaogan nodded almost imperceptibly in agreement.
[Indeed, in my opinion, although these two have brought out many level-eight rare herbs, they are still reluctant to part with too many of the most precious ones. Even now, each of them is already quite reluctant to offer just one or two of these in their bids.]
Zhong Cai felt a little disappointed, but that was understandable.
The most precious ones are mostly not plentiful, and unlike Zhongcai, the ancient city's medicinal garden is blessed with advantages, making it easier to grow medicinal herbs.
The reason I took out one or two pieces was because I really couldn't bear to part with Feng Yuan.
·
As the couple expected, the top two fighters also had some tacit understanding.
In the next bidding round, Chao Hanxiao changed his offer to increase it by one hundred high-grade Xuan stones.
When Weng Yuxian bid again, she increased the price by one hundred high-grade Xuan stones.
The subsequent bidding was all done using top-grade Xuan Stones.
After each of the high-grade Xuan Stones had consumed 20,000, the price was then changed to mid-grade Xuan Stones.
Zhong Cai: "..."
Wu Shaogan: "..."
The Fighting Kings: "..."
It's still reasonable, but it feels a bit... hard to explain.
Zhong Cai's lips twitched slightly.
When will this competition end?
They've already switched to bidding on low-grade mystic stones!
He understood perfectly well that these two Battle Kings each had an upper limit in their minds on how many Xuan Stones and what grade of Xuan Stones would be required for this resource. But once they reached their limit with low-grade Xuan Stones, would they have to use Xuan Pearls to bid for it?
It's difficult to evaluate.
The current situation has always been like this—
Chao Hanxiao: "Add another thousand low-grade Xuan stones."
Weng Yuxian: "Add one thousand."
Chao Hanxiao: "Add another thousand."
Weng Yuxian: "Add..."
Zhong Cai's lips twitched again.
Wu Shaogan gently patted Zhong Cai's hand.
Zhong Cai was speechless. The two fighting kings had remained calm throughout the competition, but he felt a little embarrassed.
The Battle Kings and Pill Kings also had mixed feelings.
·
At this point, Zhong Cai really didn't want to wait for a quote any longer, so she cleared her throat and interrupted.
"You two—"
Chao Hanxiao's expression remained aloof and arrogant.
Weng Yuxian's face still held a gentle smile.
The two of them were very composed.
Zhong Cai said, "The price is already high enough. How about this: next time the bidding goes up, each of you will bring out a piece of refining material. Whoever brings out the most valuable one will get the immortal wood. What do you say?"
Chao Hanxiao and Weng Yuxian both looked at Zhong Cai.
The Dou Wangs all understood that what Zhong Dan Wang meant was that raising the price further would be cumbersome for them, and wouldn't significantly improve their chances. So, they decided to simply gamble on luck.
When the offers are roughly the same and both parties have substantial resources, the prize is awarded to whoever is lucky.
The Fighting Kings and Pill Kings all looked at Chao Hanxiao and Weng Yuxian.
The top two fighting kings were both decisive people; without hesitation, they both agreed.
At this moment, everyone was staring at the two Battle Kings, filled with curiosity.
To whom will it ultimately belong?
Chao Hanxiao silently took out a refining material.
Weng Yuxian was just as efficient.
In an instant, everyone's attention was once again focused on the refining materials.
What Chao Hanxiao took out was a piece of seventh-grade Heavenly Frost Jade.
What Weng Yuxian took out was a level seven Yin-Yang attribute refining material.
Both of them coincidentally brought out level seven resources, but compared to each other, the Heavenly Frost Jade was a mutated single attribute, while the Yin-Yang Refining Material was a special dual attribute.
Naturally, Weng Yuxian won.
