Chapter 4305 Bait

Lu Dingxuan and the other person also saw Ye Bufan, and a murderous intent flashed in their eyes, but this was an establishment under the Myriad Manifestation Heavenly Palace, so they dared not act rashly here.

With a cold snort, he sat on the seat on the other side with a gloomy face.

Facts proved that the impact of this auction was immense, and subsequently, other powerful individuals arrived in an endless stream, including many Yuanzu Level powerhouses.

Besides Lu Dingxuan from Lingjiu Hall, two people from Taihua Hall also came.

One was a young Disciple, Baili Xuanyi, a Genius Disciple from the Ninth Heavenly Realm of this Saint Spirit Convention, who was now at Yuandi Stage Five.

Following behind him was the Sect's Grand Elder Baili Xia, a Yuan Ancestor Rank Six.

Additionally, from Qianyuan Mountain, one of the Three Mountains, the young female Disciple who came was Duan Fengling, accompanied by a red-robed old woman, Second Elder Gui Fengzhen.

Generally speaking, an auction rarely attracts Yuanzu Level powerhouses, but now four have arrived at once, which is an unprecedented scale.

Seeing this scene, Ye Bufan felt an even greater sense of unease.

But no matter what, since he was here, he couldn't just give up on these treasures in front of him, and besides, the auction was about to begin, so it was too late to go find the old man Ku now.

Anyway, this was an establishment of the Myriad Manifestation Heavenly Palace, so even a Yuan Ancestor wouldn't dare to act wantonly, which made him feel a bit more at ease.

Before long, the auction began, and an Auctioneer in a black robe walked onto the stage.

"Distinguished guests, welcome to this auction. Our first item is the heavenly pure divine fruit.

Since you are all here, you must know the preciousness of this fruit. It can purify a Cultivator's Spiritual Root and improve their Aptitude for Cultivation…"

The Auctioneer spoke eloquently, whether he didn't know or had other intentions, he did not mention the heavenly pure divine fruit's effect on the Spotless Spiritual Root.

"Alright, the bidding now begins. The starting price is ten thousand chaotic sacred crystal, with each bid not less than one thousand…"

Generally speaking, auctions usually place valuable treasures at the end, as their ultimate items. But this auction went against the norm, placing three highly attractive treasures at the beginning.

Precisely because of this, as soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately raised their bidding paddle.

"One hundred thousand…"

"One million…"

"Two million…"

In fact, the starting price of the heavenly pure divine fruit was just a gimmick. Everyone knew that such a treasure could not be obtained for ten thousand chaotic sacred crystal.

And it was true; it had already been bid up to five million shortly after it began.

"I bid ten million!"

As soon as the words fell, the venue immediately quieted down considerably.

Although the heavenly pure divine fruit was a treasure, ten million chaotic sacred crystal was not something just anyone could afford; it was more than the entire fortune of some small and medium-sized Sects.

The one who raised the paddle was precisely Ye Bufan. Although he somewhat suspected this auction was a trap, he couldn't do nothing when faced with such a treasure.

"I want this thing."

The voice transmission from Evil Lord of Myriad Beasts came to his ear, and then he raised his bidding paddle: "Eleven million."

If it were anyone else, Ye Bufan would not back down.

But this guy controlled Erlang's Physical Body, and taking the heavenly pure divine fruit would be helping himself when he retrieved Erlang. In this situation, there was no need to stubbornly use his limited chaotic sacred crystal.

Thinking of this, he didn't say much and directly put down his bidding paddle.

"I bid fifteen million…"

However, just because he gave up didn't mean others would. Baili Xuanyi of Taihua Hall raised his bidding paddle.

"Twenty million."

Evil Lord of Myriad Beasts did not back down at all. Now he had Luo Jisheng sitting beside him, and recently, by virtue of his reputation as the Reincarnation of the Immortal Saint Ancestor, he had attracted more and more powerful individuals to his side, and he also had a substantial fortune.

He would absolutely not let go of this spiritual fruit that could help him improve rapidly.

"Twenty-five million…"

"Thirty million…"

As soon as Baili Xuanyi finished speaking, Evil Lord of Myriad Beasts immediately raised the price again, directly increasing it to thirty million.

"Fifty million!"

Baili Xuanyi's bid shocked the entire venue. Normally, if one did not possess a Spotless Spiritual Root, bidding such a high price for the heavenly pure divine fruit would be completely counterproductive.

Yet, the other party did exactly that, surprising many people.

Ye Bufan frowned, realizing something was amiss.

Normally, it would be understandable for Evil Lord of Myriad Beasts to bid an exorbitant price for this item, but the other party had no such motivation.

Unless the two individuals in front of him, like the heavenly pure divine fruit, were both bait for a trap.

If he were Evil Lord of Myriad Beasts, how would he act if he longed for the heavenly pure divine fruit but couldn't obtain it?

In the Chaotic Saint Realm, there was only one outcome: snatch it, even at the greatest cost.

This would likely include Luo Jisheng and the other powerhouses behind him, who probably wouldn't object, and might even fully support it.

Evil Lord of Myriad Beasts was full of unwillingness, staring longingly at the heavenly pure divine fruit.

He was reluctant, but there was nothing he could do. Although he had gathered all the chaotic sacred crystal from the powerhouses around him, it wasn't as much as fifty million, so he could only helplessly put down his bidding paddle.

At such a high price, he withdrew, and naturally, no one else reacted.

To verify his conjecture, Ye Bufan raised his bidding paddle.

"I bid sixty million!"

As soon as the words fell, the auction hall erupted again. The first item had fetched such an exorbitant price, exceeding everyone's expectations.

"Seventy million!"

Not too far from what he expected, Baili Xuanyi, although somewhat surprised, raised his paddle and increased the bid without hesitation.

By now, Ye Bufan was certain that this heavenly pure divine fruit was bait. Bidding on one's own item naturally meant not caring about the price.

Recalling the timing of this auction, it seemed to have been held after Evil Lord of Myriad Beasts' assassination attempt failed and he returned.

Moreover, the fanfare was so grand, as if they were afraid others wouldn't know.

There was no suspense left; he just had to wait and see if Evil Lord of Myriad Beasts and his group would take the bait.

As he also put down his bidding paddle, the auction for the first item concluded, and the heavenly pure divine fruit was delivered to Baili Xuanyi.

Immediately after, the second item was brought to the stage: two white fruits that looked pure and flawless, as if carved from white jade.

From the rich aura they emitted, it was clear that these were genuine Condensing Dew Soul Fruits.

Ye Bufan suppressed the excitement in his heart. The moment he confirmed the heavenly pure divine fruit was bait, he had already formulated a plan.

The first item was left to fate; whether he got it or not could be decided later, but he absolutely could not give up on this one.

As for the upcoming Five Elements Essence, given the current situation, it was very likely also bait for their trap.

Normally, to achieve the best effect and upgrade a spatial world's Rank, one needed to gather the Five Elements Essence of the Earth Element, Wood, Water, Fire, and Metal attributes.

And the fact that the other party put four types up for auction meant that if someone bid regardless of the cost, it would indicate that they possessed the remaining piece of thick Earth Element Essence, and they would also become the target of the person behind this.

In this situation, if he rushed in rashly, even if his one hundred million chaotic sacred crystal could secure this item, he would only become someone else's scapegoat, and by then, he wouldn't even know how he died.

As for the two Condensing Dew Soul Fruits in front of him, it seemed they were brought out to increase the auction's Rank and make up the numbers, so they shouldn't be bait.

The time was short, but his considerations were extremely comprehensive, and he ultimately locked his target on the two Condensing Dew Soul Fruits!
