Chen Ping watched the numbers on the screen rise steadily, but he wasn't particularly surprised. He knew that this Divine King Pill was an extremely precious elixir; consuming it could directly raise one's cultivation level by a small amount, an irresistible temptation for anyone below the peak of the Divine King realm.
Linafeier nodded slightly and waited quietly. She knew that the price was still rising wildly, and it wouldn't be too late to place her bid when the price increase slowed down. She believed that the Divine King Pill would eventually belong to her.
The price quickly reached over 700 million Origin Gold Coins, then surged to over 800 million Origin Gold Coins before slowing down. It wasn't that no one could afford it; rather, the price was excessively inflated.
Although the Divine King Pill can directly raise one's cultivation level by one small realm after consumption, it already exceeds 500 million contract gold coins, which is already excessive. After all, 500 million Origin Gold Coins are enough to buy cultivation resources to break through one small realm. It's just that compared to the Divine King Pill, it requires a lot of time, but at the Divine King realm, time is not a problem.
Just then, Linafil began to bid.
She immediately bid 850 million Origin Gold Coins, more than 30 million higher than the previous bid. The entire auction hall fell silent. The other bidders exchanged bewildered glances, all showing surprise. They thought to themselves, "Who bids like that? This is simply rude!"
However, just two seconds later, Linafil bid again, raising the price to 851 million. Her expression was blank, seemingly unconcerned about the others. At this point, the other bidders began to hesitate. They didn't know how to respond to this price, nor did they know how much money Linafil actually had.
In the end, no one else bid, and Linafil successfully won the God-King Pill. She nodded slightly, seemingly satisfied with the result. With the conclusion of the second auction item, the atmosphere in the auction hall became even more lively. Everyone's enthusiasm was aroused, and the hall began to buzz with excitement.
The fallen angel began auctioning the third item with a blank expression. This time, the item was a divine artifact, which was in high demand in the core sea area, since the divine king realm was the mainstream here.
The fallen angel displayed the divine artifact, which exuded a powerful aura, conveying its mystery and strength. Bidders began to place their offers, and the price soared. Everyone in the hall yearned to possess this divine artifact, for it could elevate their power to a new level.
The Divine King's artifacts are never sold in bulk, so their price was destined to be lower than the previous two, but the final transaction price still reached more than 200 million Origin Gold Coins.
Chen Ping raised an eyebrow. As expected of a core sea area, this price could buy at least several divine king artifacts in a high-level sea area. Indeed, the prices of goods in different sea areas are completely different.
The auction continued, with items being brought up and sold one after another. Soon, all of the more than one hundred items were sold, and none of them were auctioned off in a round-robin fashion; all of them were sold at prices exceeding the allotted price.
Of the more than one hundred items auctioned, Chen Ping and Linafeier only bid on a few island resources. For them, the quality of the island was the most important factor, since it could be reset. They would buy top-quality island resources no matter how expensive or small they were.
With the last item sold, it's now time for the final 10 items to be auctioned. Six of them are provided by the official organizers, and four are items listed by other sellers.
......
With the last 10 items up for auction, the fallen angel tugged at her skirt, then strolled to the center of the auction stage to begin her presiding duties. Of the hundreds of items up for auction, she only needed to preside over the first three and the last 10.
After glancing at the auction item—a quacking duck with strangely sixteen different colors of feathers—the fallen angel announced directly, "Distinguished guests, the tenth item from the bottom, the Sixteen Treasure Duck!"
"I believe most of our esteemed guests may not be familiar with the Sixteen Treasure Duck. Let me give you a brief introduction. The Sixteen Treasure Duck is an extremely rare and precious beast with sixteen special abilities. I will briefly introduce a few of them."
1. Delicious Delicacies: As a "precious duck", its meat is incredibly delicious and has rich nutritional value. It can nourish and strengthen the body and satisfy sixteen different taste preferences.
2. Sixteen Transformations: This means that it has sixteen different forms or skills, each of which can cope with a specific environment or solve a problem.
3. Sixteen Treasures: Contains sixteen magical treasures within its body, each with different functions such as enhancement, healing, and protection.
4. Musical Art: It possesses sixteen beautiful timbres, and each call is as melodious as music, capable of soothing the heart or conveying a message.
5. Knowledge and Wisdom: Symbolizing abundant knowledge, capable of solving difficult problems in sixteen fields, it is the embodiment of knowledge and wisdom.
There are 11 more special abilities, which I won't go into detail about.
The Fallen Angel paused, then continued, "The Sixteen Treasure Ducks are officially produced and are all completely unused. The starting bid is 100 million Origin Gold Coins, and each bid must be at least 10 million Origin Gold Coins higher!"
As the Fallen Angel's voice faded, the price instantly soared from 100 million to 1.2 billion, and it continued to rise. Wow, even those who didn't know the Fallen Angel thought the five special abilities he had just introduced were already incredibly powerful, but they couldn't have imagined that the price would be so outrageous.
Those who knew about the Sixteen Treasure Ducks had already started bidding like crazy. They hadn't expected the Sixteen Treasure Ducks to appear on the black market this time. If they had known, they would have brought all their savings.
Those who found out, but didn't have the money, were filled with regret, almost to the point of beating their chests.
Chen Ping and Linafei were a bit confused, but the five special abilities introduced by the Fallen Angel were already quite overpowered, not to mention the eleven more. So, despite their confusion, they decided to buy it.
Anyway, their Heart of the Divine Island may not have much else, but they do have tens of billions of Origin Gold Coins.
The price of the "Sixteen Treasures Duck" has already reached 2.9 billion, and it will soon break through 3 billion. However, the rate of increase has slowed down, with the price only increasing by 10 million every two or three seconds.
Linafil appeared immediately, with a bid of 3.1 billion Origin Gold Coins. However, just two or three seconds later, someone raised the bid by 10 million Origin Gold Coins.
