Devour

Chapter 132: Possessing a Treasure

Cheng Bai recalled their respective performances on the field, and suddenly realized in his heart: "The demon race is different from the human race. The strong are respected and the weak are yielding. I have already caused trouble by raising the price to compete with the other party."

But when the little flower fairy brought the order, Cheng Bai still signed it without hesitation and asked, "I'm busy with other things. Can you pay and pick up the goods as soon as possible?"

The auction has not yet ended, but I have already obtained the treasure I wanted. It is naturally a wise choice to retire after achieving success.

The little flower fairy nodded and said, "Sure, please come over to settle the payment."

The old immortal turned around, his eyes narrowed into slits with a smile, and praised: "Brother Cheng, you are so brave to leave at the right time. Congratulations, safety is the first priority on the road."

Cheng Bai followed the Little Flower Fairy to the back where the elders were sitting in a row, including Elder Yu, whom he knew before. He spent more than 100,000 taels of star gold on the spot.

The flower fairy elders quickly brought over the Heart Refining Grass, the legs of the blood-sucking insect, the stomach of the mysterious jellyfish, and the Tears of the Nether Bone Dragon.

Cheng Bai checked everything and put it away. Suddenly, he felt something was wrong and asked Elder Yu, "Where is the spiritual tree?"

Elder Yu apologized and said, "The Nurturing Spirit Wood is still being auctioned outside. Her Majesty the Queen is presiding over the meeting upstairs. We can only move it here after the auction is over."

You have to wait until the meeting is over and everyone leaves before you can leave.

Cheng Bai's expression became subtle.

Elder Yu consoled him, "The auction is about to end. Please wait for a moment."

Cheng Bai simply returned to the meeting place and sat back in his seat quietly.

The Ghost Sword King in front turned around, holding the tattered black helmet, and smiled sinisterly at Cheng Bai. Half of his face was shriveled with flesh and blood, and the other half was white and withered. It was so ferocious.

The Moyun Beast King stole a glance at Cheng Bai from the corner of his eye, noticed the other party's gaze, and shook his head as if nothing had happened.

The Basah King glared at Cheng Bai again, opened his mouth wide to reveal a pair of extremely thick and long sharp fangs, and stuck out his forked tongue.

"We must be targeted by them, so come on." Cheng Bai was calm. If he couldn't even deal with this group of demon kings, how could he face the ancient gods?

Yu Feifei solemnly announced: "The following is the finale of this auction."

The flower fairy elders pushed the last item to the auction amid the sound of wheels. On the huge cart was a small red jade box, the surface of which was intricately carved with blooming flowers, which looked lifelike.

Cheng Bai took a quick glance and recognized it as blood jade. Although it was a third-grade premium material, it could not possibly serve as the finale. Could it be that those ordinary-looking objects inside were more precious?

Yu Feifei introduced in detail: "The blood jade box contains Xiran, a fifth-level rare and precious holy soil, which can be used to cultivate any precious medicine and spiritual roots, and can also be used to refine tools and set up formations. Since it will continue to grow when exposed to air, it is difficult to judge the amount, so it cannot be opened easily. If you have any doubts, please confirm it with your spiritual sense."

Needless to say, the demon kings present had already identified it with their spiritual sense, but no one made a bid.

Shen Yu smiled and said, "This treasure is the core of the Flower Fairy Clan's survival. We have to make a move on it today. It's a really clean disposal."

The Ghost Car Great Immortal sneered and said, "Life is the core of survival. If you have a treasure in your hand and it attracts people to covet and kill you, it will be bad."

Moyun Beast King hesitated for a moment and said, "30 taels of black iron."

The old immortal couldn't help laughing and said, "Wow, wow, wow... With such a low price, I'm afraid it will fail to sell."

Yu Feifei hurriedly said: "This price is too low, we can't sell it."

The Bashe King hissed, "Growing flowers and plants is the job of the flower fairies. We are rough laymen, and Xirang is of little use to us."

Yu Feifei spoke truthfully: "Treasures are all useful. Treasures of this grade should have their value. How can we devalue them casually?"

Although the Basah King was talking, he snorted and said, "60 taels of black iron." He doubled the price immediately.

The old immortal then laughed and said, "Haha, hahahaha...not even close."

After careful consideration, the Moyun Beast King made another offer: "90 taels of black iron."

The increase in price was far greater than before, but Old Oh Daxian was still unhappy and said, "It is indeed a failure to auction this treasure. It is better not to sell it."

The Bashe King laughed and said, "My clan is short of money. Since you don't agree, let's not talk about it anymore."

Moyun Beast King also shook his head and said, "No, I don't have that much money. I don't want it."

Cheng Bai once again probed into the treasure bag with his spiritual sense and asked Li Tong: "How much does a box of Xirang cost?"

Li Tong blinked and said, "It's hard to say, but it's definitely more valuable than the Ancient God's Son arm you smelted."

Cheng Bai was secretly shocked when he heard this. The arm of Ju was finally smelted into more than 10 million taels of black gold, which was a jaw-droppingly huge sum of money. However, it was not as good as a box of Xirang. He knew the answer and said hurriedly, "I'll pay taels of black gold."

The old immortal turned his gaze over. The exchange rate of the two precious metals was about 20 taels of black iron equal to one tael of black gold. Cheng Bai's bid was obviously more than doubled.

Yu Feifei repeatedly glanced at the old immortal and saw him stretching his neck, his eyes rolling back and forth among the guests, with a look of disappointment on his face. His gaze finally fell on Cheng Bai.

She quickly said, "Boss Cheng's 10 taels of black gold is valid. Does anyone want to raise the price?"

Ghost Sword King said coldly: "You don't need to ask. Qiongqi Continent is a poor and remote place. All those who have some money in their pockets are here. In the ancient prosperous times, perhaps a few ancient gods spent money lavishly. Now... no one can afford a higher price."

Seeing that the old immortal nodded slowly, Yu Feifei immediately announced the final deal: "Congratulations, Boss Cheng, this auction has come to a successful conclusion."

After Cheng Bai signed the order, he went to pick up the goods again, paid enough money, and put the nourishing wood and the box of Xirang in his pocket.

Elder Yu added, "You should leave quickly. You may be safe in the Colorful Forest with the care of the old immortal. It's hard to say if you can get out."

Cheng Bai asked curiously, "What is the identity of the old immortal?"

Elder Yu looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so he whispered, "The Angri Chicken King of Garnet Mountain is the true master of the Seven-Colored Forest."

Cheng Bai thought of the mess in the Rooster Palace of Shengjin Pagoda, and thought to himself: "Could it be it? It is undoubtedly an ancient demon, one of the elders behind the major demon tribes, roughly equivalent to the spiritual plum tree in the Watch Forest."

He strolled leisurely, walked out of Amethyst Mountain, and headed straight west towards the Burning Plain.

As we approached the edge of the forest, we heard a rustling sound behind us. It was obvious that the other party was gradually losing control.

Cheng Bai simply said loudly: "It's not a good habit for you to follow me all the way from Amethyst Mountain to here." He turned around and looked, his face changed slightly.

There was no human figure in the forest, only a giant snake over 600 meters long, sticking its terrifying huge body out from the forest. Its raised head was much higher than all the surrounding trees, its dark green scales flashed coldly in the sun, and its amber eyes were filled with the chill of death.

It is so huge, yet it can roam in the dense forest so quietly and is shockingly agile. It is the current king of the Basilisk clan.

Cheng Bai couldn't help but ask, "Is the guardian of the Snake Palace your relative?"

The Basher King looked down at Cheng Bai and said, "Si Snake Palace? Ever since the previous Snake King died in the Shengjin Pagoda, the Basher clan severed the protection agreement with Emperor Yunmen and has no connection with him anymore."

Cheng Bai said leisurely: "Do you want the things that were at the auction just now?"

The Basher King stuck out his tongue and hissed, saying, "Besides those, I scanned you with my divine sense and found that you have quite a few good things, some of which I have never seen before. How can you let such a rich human go so easily? I haven't seen such a good prey in many years."

Don't show off your wealth, don't show off your wealth, and don't act alone. Otherwise, others may easily become malicious towards you, especially the weak.

The two sides talked slowly, and it was not just the secret art of communication that was taking effect, the battle had already begun.

Since he spoke, the Basah King has never stopped attacking. His powerful petrifying gaze is swift and effective, far surpassing the petrified snakes in the Shell Mountain Secret Realm, but it has almost no effect on Cheng Bai.

Cheng Bai naturally noticed it, and said with a smile: "I took Stone Marrow Pills for a month, 40 pills a day, and finally became completely immune to paralysis and petrification. Unfortunately, your petrification gaze is a waste of effort."

The Basah King glared in anger, and pounced forward, swimming as swift as the wind. His whole body was hardened and stronger than pure gold, and his strength was like an overwhelming tidal wave. He crashed into the trees along the way, easily knocking them down and flattening them with a loud bang.

Even if it abandons the secret art of petrification, it is still a ruthless character who kills with force and convinces others with strength.

Cheng Bai did not dare to be careless. He used the Eight Immortals' Transformation Technique to move faster, leaving behind several elusive afterimages and quickly retreating towards the Burning Plain.
