As Xiao Yue finished speaking, two beautiful maids walked onto the platform with two small brocade boxes in their hands. They carefully placed them on the jade table and opened the boxes.
Woah!
Upon the boxes were opened, two vermilion-colored fruits that looked like a mango appeared in everyone’s sight, causing an uproar among the crowd as they could perceive a terrifying power inside these fruits.
Xiao Yue smiled and said. “I believe some of you have already recognized them. That’s right. These two fruits are Heavenly Vermilion Fruits.”
The crowd was shocked and stared at the fruits blankly. The Heavenly Vermilion Fruit was one of the Divine-rank fire attributed treasures. It was said by taking one of them, a practitioner’s affinity with the fire element would increase drastically. Even someone with no foundation in the fire element would also gain the affinity by taking it. The word “Heavenly” in its name wasn’t exaggerated at all.
“Matriarch….” A trace of anger appeared on Huoyun Zhu at the moment.
The Fire Cloud Rat Clan once owned the Heavenly Vermilion Tree, and it was robbed away by the Purple-Winged Tiger Clan and the Great Roc Clan in the past. By taking it out like this, clearly, they wanted to humiliate Huoyun Yurou and Huoyun Zhu.
“Relax. Let them play the game as much as they wanted.” Huoyun Yurou was relatively calm.
Huoyun Zhu took a deep breath and said nothing more. Her eyes were full of unwillingness as she stared at the fruits.
On the side, Yun Lintian didn’t need to use his brain to understand this. According to the information he had in his head, the Heavenly Vermilion Tree was created by Vermilion Bird’s blood. Hence, these two Heavenly Vermilion Fruits were clearly something that once belonged to the Fire Cloud Rat Clan.
Yun Lintian thought for a moment and asked in his mind. “Hongyue, is it possible to grow a tree out of this fruit?”
“Of course. You’ve underestimated the Land of Beyond Heaven too much. Anything can be grown here as long as you have enough energy to retain it.” Hongyue replied. “Wait until you get the Tree of Life. You will be surprised.”
“I see.” After confirming this, Yun Lintian turned to Huoyun Yurou. “Matriarch, are these two fruits useful for you?”
Huoyun Yurou immediately understood his intention. She replied truthfully. “They can help me stabilize my realm further.”
“Leave it to me then.” Yun Lintian said with a smile and turned his attention back to the platform.
In the room across Yun Lintian’s room, Pei Xiewen, Zi Mo, Lang Mian, and Lang Xue were enjoying a sumptuous meal while watching the scene. 𝙚𝙙𝙣𝒐𝙫𝙚𝙡.𝙤𝙧𝒈
Meanwhile, Bi You was sitting there like a statue. However, her eyes were actually fixated on the opposite room. More precisely, she was looking at Yun Lintian.
Pei Xiewen noticed this and frowned slightly. He felt something wrong about it, but he couldn’t figure out why Bi You kept looking at Yun Lintian’s group.
Lang Xue perceived Pei Xiewen’s dissatisfaction, and she hurriedly turned to talk with Bi You. “Sister You, don’t you think these fruits are beautiful? Although I didn’t have an affinity with the fire element, buying one for a collection is not bad, right?”
Bi You glanced at Lang Xue briefly and turned her head away.
Lang Xue smiled bitterly. She wanted to help Bi You out of the situation, but the latter didn’t care about it. She could only sigh and stuff a braised meat into her mouth.
“Your idea is brilliant, Brother Pei. Their faces must be blackened by now.” Zi Mo, whose face was recovered, said with a smile. He truly wanted to see Huoyun Yurou’s face right now.
Pei Xiewen smiled faintly while sipping a glass of wine. “This is just an appetizer.”
Zi Mo thumbed up and said with laughter. “Haha. I can’t wait to see the next play now.”
“You’re really boring, Zi Mo.” Lang Mian said after swallowing a mouthful of meat. “I’m more interested in that young man. My intuition told me that he’s a dangerous person.”
Pei Xiewen’s brows raised up slightly. He was aware that Lang Mian’s intuition was pretty accurate regarding this topic. However, he still didn’t take Yun Lintian in his eyes. After all, what could a mere first level of the Ruler Profound Realm’s trash do?
“A dangerous person?” Zi Mo smiled disdainfully. “He is likely to participate in the convention soon. At that time, I will kill him in front of everyone.” His voice was full of arrogance and absolute confidence as if Yun Lintian was already a dead man in his eyes.
Lang Mian wanted to say something, but he held back in the end.
At this moment, Xiao Yue waited for the crowd to calm down before saying. “Everyone must be curious about the price right now. I can tell you that it’s cheaper than you think. I believe everyone here could afford it.”
The crowd looked at Xiao Yue in disbelief while shaking their heads. How could such a divine treasure be cheap?
Xiao Yue didn’t care about their reactions and said loudly. “The starting price of these fruits is twenty thousand mid-grade Profound Stones. You can raise the bid by at least one hundred. Everyone can start bidding now!”
Xiao Yue’s words were like a bombshell dropped on everyone’s head. Their eyes widened open, and their jaws dropped in disbelief. Some people even scratched their ears in order to confirm they didn’t hear it wrong.
“I bid twenty-one thousand!”
“Twenty-one thousand? Are you kidding me? I bid forty thousand!”
“Go away! I bid fifty thousand!”
As soon as the crowd came back to their senses, they shouted loudly. One after another, the bid quickly rose from twenty-one thousand to two hundred thousand in a blink of an eye.
In Yun Lintian’s room, Huoyun Zhu’s face flushed red in anger. Even though she knew she shouldn’t get furious, it was too unbearable to see her clan’s treasure being placed at such a low price.
Yun Lintian looked at her and said. “Please calm down, Great Elder. Let me handle this.”
As he spoke this, Yun Lintian turned toward the platform and said calmly. “Ten million!”
When Yun Lintian’s voice came out, the hall was immediately blanketed with dead silence.
