Chapter 269 - 269 269 The Mysterious Box

269: Chapter 269: The Mysterious Box 269: Chapter 269: The Mysterious Box “The Golden Finger Bone truly belongs to the Zhan Clan.”

It must have been Zhan Wushuang’s Bloodline Power that got approved by the Golden Finger Bone, and that’s why it actively fused into Zhan Wushuang’s index finger.

In other words, if the Golden Finger Bone didn’t come from a Zhan Clan strong man, it definitely wouldn’t have been this easy for Zhan Wushuang to blend with it.

“Big guy, how does it feel?”

Fat Cat asked curiously, the breath released from the Golden Finger Bone made him feel apprehensive.

“Having fused with the Golden Finger Bone, my finger now contains powerful energy, and I believe it can even resist a Heavenly Spiritual Device.”

Zhan Wushuang was also extremely happy.

The Golden Finger Bone can unleash a very strong force, it can definitely be one of his hidden strengths.

“This Golden Finger Bone surely isn’t so simple, what secrets it holds, you must explore yourself.”

Long Yan had a faint feeling, the Zhan Clan strong man who left this Golden Finger Bone, must be more than just a Martial God strong man.

In Shenwu Continent, the strongest man of the past, the Divine Emperor, was nothing but a Martial God.

“Hm hm.”

Zhan Wushuang nodded slightly, he also thought that the Golden Finger Bone wasn’t simple.

The Auction continued.

After auctioning for more than a full day, the auction was approaching its end.

Every item auctioned was not ordinary.

In the next six hours, there were another thirty-seven items up for auction.

Each item was worth no less than the Tianlei Pill.

The Five Great Powers and the Wanyao Valley contended fiercely, all obtaining items.

Fat Cat also seized a few treasures for the Long Family assertively.

“Everyone, there are not many auction items left now.

Apart from the finale, there is only one item left.”

Lu Xuanming’s face was full of smiles.

This auction was very successful.

Not only was there no item that failed to sell, but each item was also auctioned at a high price.

Based solely on this auction, the income of Lanling City was quite substantial.

After this next item is auctioned, the final ten top treasures will be up, which are the real highlights of this auction.

“What could it be that is so mysterious?”

Everyone was intrigued.

“Ladies and gentlemen, please look!”

With that, Lu Xuanming took out a box from his Storage Ring.

The box was old-fashioned, square, the size of an adult’s palm, pitch-black throughout.

Its appearance was ordinary, nothing attractive.

But, a powerful prohibition layered the surface of the black box.

“Hm?”

Long Yan released his Divine Sense secretly to probe the box, but he was blocked by the powerful prohibition.

He couldn’t probe what was inside it.

The box was very mysterious.

At the same time, almost everyone was probing the black box instead, wanting to know what was inside.

“Master Lu, what treasure is inside this box?

It wouldn’t be just an ordinary box, would it?”

Someone asked loudly.

Lu Xuanming laughed and said, “Honestly, I don’t know what’s inside the box.

I’m merely auctioning it on behalf of someone.

There’s a rule for auctioning this box.

Before someone wins the auction, we can’t open the box.”

Of all the auction items, this is the only one he didn’t know the details of.

“It’s just a mysterious empty box.”

Although the black box looked mysterious, no one thought there would be treasures inside.

Maybe it’s just an empty box, nothing more than a pretense of mystery.

“Whether it’s an empty box or there’s a real treasure inside, it’s completely voluntary.

The auction without reserve price, begins now!”

Lu Xuanming had no idea what price this box could fetch.

“One medium-grade spirit stone, even if it’s an empty box, it’s my loss!”

A Tianwu Nine Heavy speaker shouted.

People glanced scornfully at him.

One medium-grade spirit stone, he wasn’t ashamed at all.

“Finally, something’s happening?”

Long Yan had been observing Ming Jiu secretly from the start of the auction.

Until now, Ming Jiu hadn’t made a move yet.

At this moment, Ming Jiu’s breath obviously fluctuated.

Maybe he was here for this mysterious box.

The black box isn’t simple!

“Fat Cat, buy that black box!”

Long Yan instructed Fat Cat to make a bid.

If Ming Jiu wants something, he cannot let Ming Jiu get it.

“Boss, what if…

it’s just an empty box?

Wouldn’t we be making a huge loss?”

Fat Cat hesitated.

He’s not stupid.

“It’s absolutely not an empty box.

Trust me.”

Long Yan assured him.

Fat Cat nodded, then called out to the hall, “Tiger Lord bids two medium-grade spirit stones.

This box is Tiger Lord’s.”

“…..”

Upon hearing this, Long Yan nearly stumbled and fell, his face grimacing, covered in goosebumps, as if he was charred on the outside but tender on the inside.

He was shocked by Fat Cat’s announcement.

The others were similarly stunned.

Their eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

The contrast was too damn stark.

“Hmph, a bunch of country bumpkins.

You guys don’t know anything.

This is the brilliance of Tiger Lord.”

Fat Cat showed a superior air without any hesitation.

At this point, even the expression on Lu Xuanming’s face stiffened.

If this mysterious box went for two medium-grade spirit stones, it would be a complete joke.

The Five Great Powers and Wanyao Valley had clearly given up on bidding, and others had also determined that the black box was empty.

They didn’t want to waste spirit stones for nothing.

With the star lot right in front of them, no one wanted to waste spirit stones recklessly.

“Ah….”

Lu Xuanming sighed silently in his heart, ready to announce the black box’s ownership to VIP Room Three.

“Ten million Medium Grade Spirit Stones!”

However, at this moment, a deep voice echoed from Room No.8.

It was Ming Jiu.

“Ten million?”

This voice was like thunder on a clear day, spreading shock among the crowd.

All eyes turned to Room No.8, including Lu Xuanming’s.

“Who’s in Room No.8?

They’ve been silent the whole time, and they just placed a bid of ten million medium-grade spirit stones.

Did they fall asleep and started sleep-talking?”

“Could it be that the black box is really a treasure?”

“I guess this black box is their lot for the auction.

It’s just a ploy to create mystery and raise the price now, just to give everyone the impression that the black box is a treasure.

Then, they can take advantage of it and make a big profit.”

“That seems reasonable!”

…..

Shortly after the silence, the hall resumed with the sounds of excited chatter.

“Has this guy gone mad?”

Ming Jiu made a huge raise of ten million that even took Fat Cat by surprise.

Ming Jiu was more arrogant than him!

“Boss, what do we do?”

Fat Cat looked at Long Yan, seeking his opinion.

“Keep raising.”

Long Yan said without hesitation.

Now that Ming Jiu set such a high price, it proved that the box was extraordinary.

With this in mind, he can’t let Ming Jiu get his way.

He wants to see what’s inside the box.

“Damn, don’t mess with Tiger Lord!”

Fat Cat rolled up his sleeves and then yelled out, “Twenty million.”

After Fat Cat’s announcement, the auction hall went deadly silent, so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.

“Now they’ve met their match.

Things are about to get interesting.”

This was the sentiment among the crowd.

“Thirty million.”

Without hesitation, Ming Jiu raised the price by another ten million.

“Damn it, he’s really going head-to-head with Tiger Lord.”

Fat Cat growled and then inhaling deeply, he heaved out aloud, “Fourty million.”

He wanted to overpower Ming Jiu with his momentum.

“One Hundred Million!”

However, just as Fat Cat finished speaking, Ming Jiu directly raised the price to one hundred million.

“One hundred million medium-grade spirit stones, oh my God!”

Upon hearing this, everyone felt as if they were holding their breaths.

This was too crazy, one hundred million medium-grade spirit stones?

How huge an amount is that?
