Chapter 1335: Chapter 269: Disputes Arise Again_2

Soon, another item was auctioned off by a monk. Lan Ying’s face was full of smiles as she sweetly said, "The next auction item is a rare treasure between heaven and earth, extremely unusual. Our auction house has exerted great effort to obtain it, and for those who have pursued body cultivation and achieved great accomplishments, it offers tremendous assistance and has extraordinary uses!"

Upon hearing this, many people in the venue immediately perked up, especially the Great Powers from the celestial realms.

Gu Chen was no exception. Hearing that it was beneficial for body refining, he immediately focused all his attention.

Lan Ying smiled, held her head high, and waved her pristine lotus arm as she loudly said, "Ladies and gentlemen, please look at this rare treasure—the Thunder Fruit!"

"What, it’s actually the Thunder Fruit?!"

"They even have such a thing?"

"This is almost comparable to the legendary Thunder Tribulation Fluid, truly exceedingly rare!"

As soon as the words "Thunder Fruit" were uttered, the venue instantly became somewhat tumultuous, just as someone had just mentioned. This spiritual item was almost on par with the legendary Thunder Tribulation Fluid.

The Thunder Fruit could definitely be considered a congenital spiritual item, naturally nurtured, possessing intense thunderous power, and able to help cultivators refine their bodies, serving great purposes!

The moment Gu Chen saw the Thunder Fruit, he was also moved. Currently, his physical body was at the eighth rotation, and to achieve completion, he could not miss out on this Thunder Fruit!

Auctioneer Lan Ying saw that the atmosphere had risen and did not hesitate to strike while the iron was hot, saying, "The starting bid for this Thunder Fruit is—two pieces of heavenly meteorite essence."

"Heavenly meteorite essence, and two pieces at that?!" Monks from the upper realms exclaimed in amazement.

As for the native residents of the holy realms, they frowned slightly upon hearing this; such items were not available internally in the holy realms.

Beside Jian Jiu, a middle-aged man from Sword Monarch Palace also spoke in a deep voice, "Is it possible to exchange it for something else?"

"No," Lan Ying shook her head, "The auction house has decided that the Thunder Fruit can only be exchanged for heavenly meteorite essence."

"Damn it!" In an instant, the native residents of the holy realms cursed in unison.

Clearly, this transaction was meant for the monks from the upper realms and had nothing to do with them.

Jian Jiu also frowned. He really wanted the Thunder Fruit, as his physical body was at the seventh rotation, and not too far from the eighth. With the help of the Thunder Fruit, his physical strength would greatly increase, taking a big step forward.

Perhaps, he might even reach the peak of the seventh rotation. At that time, with the power of thunder augmenting his movements, his swordsmanship would also receive great assistance.

Unfortunately, he did not possess any heavenly meteorite essence, inevitably feeling some regret.

"Young master," at this moment, Long Yi looked at Gu Chen.

Heavenly meteorite essence was exceedingly rare, only found outside their realm, and naturally, Long Yi did not possess any.

Seeing this, Gu Chen offered a slight smile, as he happened to have two pieces of heavenly meteorite essence.

Along his journey through the holy realm where he had slain quite a few formidable demons, Gu Chen’s collection was certainly not small.

The heavenly meteorite essence was from Qi Ling of the Ten Thousand Stars Palace. At this moment, Gu Chen truly felt somewhat thankful to him.

"Two pieces of heavenly meteorite essence, I’ll take this Thunder Fruit," Gu Chen started the bidding, while also feeling somewhat nervous inside.

He also feared that other monks from the upper realms might have more heavenly meteorite essence than he did, in which case the Thunder Fruit could slip through his fingers.

Fortunately, given the extreme rarity of the heavenly meteorite essence, in the entire auction house, only Gu Chen spoke up. Ultimately, as expected, the Thunder Fruit became his.

"That’s a relief." Having succeeded, Gu Chen couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Jian Jiu, what do you think?" At this time, the middle-aged man from Sword Monarch Palace frowned and gave Gu Chen a side glance.

Hearing this, Jian Jiu’s expression turned stern, his voice low and tough, "He once obstructed my path to enlightenment. This time, taking his Thunder Fruit is a way to settle scores, making us even."

"Good!" As soon as he said this, a smile also appeared on the face of the middle-aged man from Sword Monarch Palace.

In his view, or rather the creed of Sword Monarch Palace, sword repairers should be just like that, striving for all they desire with the swords in their hands!

As for everything else, there was no need to care at all, which naturally included the opinions of others.

The moment Gu Chen won the bid for the Thunder Fruit, he felt the murderous intent from both the middle-aged man of Sword Monarch Palace and Jian Jiu.

"Heh, interesting!" Gu Chen didn’t look at them, but his expression had become even colder.

After all, during this meeting, he had no intention of letting Jian Jiu off; he planned to settle things once and for all.

Soon after, several more treasures were presented, and then the climax of the auction was reached.

"Now, the most eye-catching and most precious item of this auction is—the map of the True Dragon’s Nest!"

Dressed in light attire, the auctioneer Lan Ying spoke as she took a scroll from below, slightly unrolled it to demonstrate to everyone exactly what it was.

She then hurriedly put it away; the scroll had restrictions, which meant that even the Great Powers of the celestial realm could not glimpse its entirety with just one look.

Immediately, the atmosphere in the venue reached its peak with the appearance of this scroll!

After all, the reason so many people gathered here was for the map of the Immortal Spirit’s Nest.

Without this map, no one knew what dangers they might encounter while exploring the Immortal Spirit’s Nest.

And unsurprisingly, this map of the True Dragon’s Nest must have come from some imperial family in the sacred realm.

Ordinary forces were simply not fit to possess such an item.

"The bidding for the True Dragon’s Nest map starts at—one small piece of Dark Fairy Gold!" Lan Ying called out loudly.

"What?!"

"Dark Fairy Gold?"

"Have they gone mad, how could it be worth so much!"

As soon as the starting bid was announced, the venue erupted into chaos, with everyone shouting that it was unreasonable.

What was Dark Fairy Gold? Like Vault of Heaven Fairy Gold, it was a material used by the highest echelon to forge divine weapons, extremely rare and basically unseen, with no one possessing it!

Moreover, even if someone had it, they would not use it to auction off this True Dragon’s Nest map, unless they were insane!

Seeing the commotion, Lan Ying quickly spoke, "Ladies and gentlemen, please calm down. Our auction house knows the value of Dark Fairy Gold, but you must understand, this emergence of the Immortal Spirit’s Nest offers unimaginable opportunities, and having this map will ensure your safety during exploration. What could be more important than that?"

Lan Ying continued to explain using various arguments, trying to persuade the crowd, but to no avail.

In the end, she even called upon the executives of the Gargantuan Summit City auction house to consider lowering the price, but the answer was no.

Clearly, the item was released by some royal or imperial family from the depths of the sacred realm, just to see if there would be any unexpected gains.

Since there weren’t, they weren’t prepared to sell.

Gu Chen too shook his head; he didn’t have any Dark Fairy Gold, and even if he did, he wouldn’t exchange it.

Soon after, the auction ended just like that.

With the auction concluded, many people stood up; in the crowd, Gu Chen’s eyes once again met with Jian Jiu’s, from the Nine-Leaved Sword Vine Clan.

The place immediately became restless, a fierce battle seemed inevitable and was about to unfold!
