Chapter 62

Chapter 62 – 888!

“Twenty-one!”

“I’ll bid twenty-five!”

“Thirty spirit stones . No one should argue with a Laozi!”

“Not in your dream! 30 spirit stones for such a magical weapon? Forty from me!”

As soon as the Demon Slayer Sword auction was started, the atmosphere in the venue was immediately heating up .

Before long, the price for the sword had reached 80 spirit stones, after that, the shouting began to slow down .

Tang Yu was shocked .

He already knew the basic long sword could sell well in Lindong, but he had underestimated the Lindong hunters’ wealth .

The first-awakening hunters were still relatively poor . They could barely handle the weakest demonic beasts .

The double-awakening hunters’ wealth was higher with two or three spirit stones for their daily income .

The triple-awakening hunters had entered the master rank and ordinary demonic beast wasn’t a threat to them .

Lindong shelter had plenty firearms in stock . If it’s used correctly, even an ordinary person could finish a demonic beast . Unlike small shelters, they had abundant ammunition in stock .

What’s more…

Hunters didn’t work alone, most of them moved in small teams like Zhou Jianhong who was a captain of an elite mercenary squad . Naturally, he controlled most of their team’s income . Even if the money wasn’t entirely his, no one would be angry if it was used to buy such a weapon that could improve their entire team’s performance .

They wouldn’t hesitate to spend their spirit stones!

In the end, the first Demon Slayer Sword was sold at a high price of 115 spirit stones .

That amount of spirit stones was only a dream for most hunters that were present in the venue .

Tang Yu smirked .

Not just because of the high price, but because he saw a business opportunity from this single sale .

And that was just a basic long sword . What if it was strengthened with runes to the first and second type?

More hunters would be willing to spend all of their spirit stones .

Of course, Tang Yu wasn’t planning on selling the stronger basic sword for now . Maybe later when a higher-ranked blueprints was available in the future .

The hunters who didn’t get the Demon Slayer Sword was annoyed .

Some of them was hesitating and the bidding was already closed .

Some people thought it was overpriced, and some was reluctant to let go of the spirit stones in their pocket .

At this time, the voluptuous woman took the next auction item from the staff, “The next item for auction is… the second Demon Slayer Sword!”

The atmosphere immediately heated up again . People were starting to shout their biddings before the woman could finish her sentence .

Finally, the second sword was sold to a hunter at the price of 110 spirit stones .

Shortly after, the third and fourth Demon Slayer Sword were sold but it wasn’t as high as their predecessor . But the two swords were also sold for more than a 100 spirit stones .

The last Demon Slayer Sword was sold at the highest price of 130 spirit stones .

Before today, no one would ever thought that a sharp weapon could sell with such a high price .

The auction continued without any obstacle .

Tang Yu also bought something .

Some Awakening Elixir .

The elixirs that passed the evaluation stage were basically awakening elixir of the highest grade .

He bought a set of three bottles of awakening elixirs for 45 spirit stones .

That was considered very expensive as ordinary people who couldn’t awaken yet couldn’t possibly afford the price .

Tang Yu intended to give one of his elixir for Li Xiaoming .

He had drunk a low-grade elixir but couldn’t awaken yet . Theoretically speaking, his awakening chance would be higher if he drank a higher grade elixir . Even if the awakening success chance was still relatively low .

Lots of items was out for auctioning . Before long, the auction finally reached the climax .

“The auction tonight is about to come to an end, the final item that will close the auction tonight is… the Spirit Power Container!”

A round crystal with a size of a palm was laid in the auction stand . It looked like a carved exquisite pure white crystal .

That was the Spirit Power Container which could absorb the spirit power escaping from a dead demonic beast carcass .

After a hunter killed demonic beast, he couldn’t absorb all the escaping spirit power . In other words, if this were a game, it meant he could get extra experience from using this Spirit Power Container . That was the main purpose of the container .

In addition, they could also sell the filled Spirit Power Container to rich hunters who were almost breakthrough the bottleneck . They could cultivate the spirit power from the container to improve the chance of breakthrough to the next stage of awakening .

The only flaw of this Spirit Power Container was its slow accumulated amount of spirit power that would consume time . Even so, it deserved to be the highlighted item of the auction!

It’s even more valuable than the previous long sword . This was the second time it ever went up to the auction since the black market first established .

The hunters who were present in the venue were breathing wildly as they glanced coldly at their fellow hunters . Observing who could be their competitors .

“Now let’s start the auction of the Spirit Power Contained . The starting price is 200 spirit stones!”

“I have two hundred and one!”

“Two hundred and five!”

“Two hundred and eight!”

The price was rising, the scene was a complete chaos that the auctioneer couldn’t tell who was calling the price .

“Stop wasting time . I’ll give you five hundreds!”

A man with a crooked nose like a hawk coldly glanced across the audience . His eyes filled with disdain .

That person didn’t even bother to hide his identity and soon was recognized by other hunters .

‘It’s Chen Sheng, the leader of a top mercenary squad . He’s ranked top 20 in the mission center . Although his team was small, they’re all masters . Especially Chen Sheng himself who single handedly slain a terrifying dragon demonic beast . Hence the name Dragon Slayer Chen Sheng!”

“Dragon demonic beast? Is there a real dragon in this world?” A newly awakened hunters questioned .

“Of course not . It’s a big lizard as big as a tank . Not only it was a fourth awakening demonic beast, but it can also spit fire like a dragon in a Western myth . But Chen Sheng single handedly beheaded the beast . Based on this record alone, he is among the best hunter in the entire shelter!”

The veteran hunter said everything he knew and sighed . The new innocent hunter was mesmerized, “Wow, you must be a strong hunter to know so much information! What was your record?”

His old face stiffened . He waved his hand, “Forget it, I’m nobody . ”

With Chen Sheng rose up the price, many hunters could no longer participate in the bidding .

Of course they still wanted to bid, but the price of 500 spirit stones were beyond their reach .

At this time, captains of top mercenary teams began increasing their price .

“Five hundred and five!”

“Six hundred! Everyone, behold the Blazing Inferno mercenary squad!”

“Go to hell you and your Blazing Infernope squad, Wang Wu! My Kamikaze team won’t accept it . Six hundred and sixty!”

The price soared and gradually approached the threshold of 800 spirit stones .

The captains of these top mercenary teams had already known that there would be a spirit power container up for the auction tonight . Even though they had accumulated a lot of spirit stones, they felt the pressure and the price increase gradually slowed down .

This price was beyond the imagination of the new hunter .

The veteran hunter was also felt dumbfounded compared to the money he had in his pocket .

Even a strong hunter like Zhou Jianhong who was a captain of an elite team fully understood the gap between himself and the top team .

At this moment, the price had reached 820 spirit stones . The captains among the crowd only increased the price by one or two spirit stones .

They were almost on their limit .

At the same time, they were testing their opponent’s limit as well .

At that level, they understood the gap between them wasn’t big . However, the final result might change if someone had more spirit stones .

The captains of the top teams clenched their fists as they focused their gaze at the Spirit Power Container at the stage .

There were also captain-leveled hunters who watched the price rose even higher . Sweats dripped from their foreheads .

When suddenly…

“I have 888 spirit stones!”

The voice was not loud, but it immediately echoed through the audience .

Zhou Jianhong immediately looked around for the source of the voice only to found the bidder was the little brother who previously chatted with him in front of his stall!
