Chen Ping carefully observed the flame called the Blood Karma Red Lotus Flame, pondering to himself. The name of this flame was similar to the legendary Red Lotus Karma Fire; he wondered if it possessed the power to burn away all sins and karma.
He couldn't help but ponder: if the Blood Karma Red Lotus Flame truly lived up to its name and could burn away karma, it would undoubtedly be a great tool for cultivators, helping them purify their karma and improve their cultivation.
After weighing his own resources and needs, Chen Ping decided to participate in the auction. Although the starting price was as high as 100,000 Origin Gold Coins, and each bid required an increment of at least 1,000 Origin Gold Coins, he believed that the investment was worthwhile considering the unique value of the Bloodstained Crimson Lotus Flame and the enormous benefits it could bring.
Looking at the black token in my hand, I know I'm going to have to overspend now. Ugh, this is really annoying.
Looking at the soaring price, it seems there are quite a few people interested in this flame. Well, that makes sense, after all, it's a flame on the Heavenly Flame Ranking, and it's ranked fourth. You know, there are only 30 spots on the Heavenly Flame Ranking.
The auction price of Bloodstained Crimson Flame quickly reached 247,000 Origin Gold Coins. Although it is still slowly rising, it will soon become clear that the final transaction price will likely be below 300,000 Origin Gold Coins and will not be higher.
After all, that wasn't their goal; the appearance of the Bloodstained Crimson Lotus Flame was merely an unexpected bonus.
As expected, Chen Ping successfully acquired the Bloodstained Crimson Lotus Flame for 273,000 Origin Gold Coins.
Looking at the black token in his hand that showed a negative number, Chen Ping shook his head and muttered, "Fortunately, I still have that God King Path. I can pay it back by selling it."
Now, on the auction stage, Lilysa returned to the center and began introducing the next item.
Chen Ping: "Huh! It's actually the God King's Path? Then what will the last item be?"
Upon seeing that it was his own God-King Path, Chen Ping became interested in the last item up for auction. Its value was even higher than the God-King Path itself, which was quite rare. After all, the God-King Path wasn't a one-time item; anyone suitable could successfully break through from a main god to a God-King through it, so its value was self-evident.
......
When Lilisa saw the God-King Path about to appear on the auction stage, a hint of amazement and longing flashed in her eyes. As a succubus who had presided over countless auctions, she hadn't expected such a rare and precious item to appear on the black market. She herself had been stuck at the God-King level for over 2000 years. If she couldn't break through to a higher level within another 1000 years, she would reach the age of ten thousand, and if she hadn't advanced by then, she would likely miss the best opportunity for cultivation.
Despite her burning desire for the Path to Godhood, Lilisa was well aware of the rules and background of the black market auction. Every item there was strictly controlled by the authorities, and any attempt to acquire it through illegitimate means would face extremely serious consequences. Therefore, she had to suppress her impulses and remain professional and calm.
However, in an instant, Lilisa smiled with relief. She realized that with the sale of various rare treasures at this auction, her auctioneer commission would certainly be considerable. This substantial income would be enough for her to purchase suitable advancement techniques or resources, potentially allowing her to break through her current bottleneck and realize her dream of reaching a higher level. With this in mind, she focused even more intently on the remaining auction work and began her presentation.
Lilisa: "This is the God King's Path. I don't think I need to explain its function, right? Hehe~ I'm sure most of the distinguished guests here are here for it, so I won't waste any more words."
"God King's Path, starting bid 500,000 Origin Gold Coins, minimum increment 10,000 Origin Gold Coins, auction begins!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Ping was slightly taken aback. So expensive? This was something he hadn't expected. At first, he thought he would be lucky to sell it for a few hundred thousand Origin Gold Coins, but the starting price was already 500,000!
It seems that his understanding of the God King is too shallow. But thinking about it, it makes sense. At least on the surface, the God King is the most powerful being in the high-level sea areas. Even if there are beings at an even higher level, they only exist in legends.
The only being above the God-King that is known to the public is the master of the deep abyss.
......
The auction then became very heated. The initial bid of 500,000 Origin Gold Coins lasted for less than a second before the price instantly jumped to over 1 million Origin Gold Coins. As expected, most factions were after this bid.
Chen Ping smiled as he watched the prices soar, muttering to himself, "Up, up, up, up, up, not bad, not bad."
Prices skyrocketed, leaving everyone in the lobby utterly bewildered, as were those on the second floor. They all had no choice but to give up. The third floor was for the big shots, not to mention that those who could enter the third-floor VIP rooms received a discount on their auction prices. Normally, the highest-level members could get a 30% discount.
Therefore, the price offered by premium members is always much more favorable than that of premium members. Same price, different prices! How infuriating!
Finally, the path to becoming a God-King was determined.
Lilisa gracefully returned to the center of the auction stage, a bright smile on her face. She announced enthusiastically, "Distinguished guests, please allow me to give a warm round of applause to Member Room 111 on the 3rd floor! They have successfully won the God-King Path with an astonishing 1.53 million Origin Gold Coins! Let's give them a thunderous round of applause! Clap clap clap clap!!!"
Upon hearing the final price, Lilysa couldn't contain her joy. She had initially expected some profit from the auction, but the final price far exceeded her expectations. Now, her share would be enough for her to purchase the precious resources she needed for her cultivation advancement.
In her excitement, Lilisa's charm shone even brighter. A pink aura seemed to emanate from her graceful figure, appearing and disappearing intermittently, captivating the audience. Those with weaker willpower were easily drawn in by this alluring charm, their minds unconsciously conjuring up beautiful and dreamlike images.
The God-King's Journey has come to an end, but Lilisa hasn't forgotten about the last item up for auction. She wonders how much profit it will bring her? She's really looking forward to it, hehe~
Lilisa: "Distinguished guests, now we come to the final grand finale. Please welcome the last item to the stage!"
As Lilysa's voice faded, everyone's eyes turned to the auction stage, filled with anticipation.
