301: Chapter 300: A Sky-High Price Transaction! Was the Buyer the Demon Lord?

When that jade-green, translucent ring, carved with nine lifelike Dragons, appeared under the spotlight of the auction stage, the originally boisterous venue fell into a deathly silence in an instant.

Everyone's gaze was tightly drawn to that small ring.

Although it lacked heaven-shaking Spiritual Qi fluctuations or flashy light effects, the trace of pure Imperial Might circulating on it could not be faked.

It was a special aura formed from being worn for years on the hand of the ruler of the Three Realms and nurtured by billions of years of incense offerings.

This was not just a ring.

This was the majesty of the Heavenly Court, the face of Immortal Emperor Haotian!

Everyone present was shrewd, and they all understood the meaning behind this.

Whoever bought it would be equivalent to slapping the Immortal Emperor in public, and it would be like peeling off his face to hang on their waist for show!

This extreme sense of humiliation and conquest was ten thousand times more tempting than any Divine Artifact to those powerful beings who had been suppressed by the Heavenly Court for years and were at odds with it!

"The Nine Dragon Jade Ring, a personal item of Immortal Emperor Haotian. To see this item is to see the Emperor himself."

Lin Feng toyed with the ring, even putting it to his mouth to breathe on it and wipe it, then said indifferently, "As for its effects, it can calm the mind, resist Heart Demons, and incidentally, command those silly Dragons of the Heavenly Court. However, I don't think I need to say much about its collection value."

"What does this represent? It represents that you have trampled the Immortal Emperor under your feet!"

Lin Feng held the ring high and shouted, "Starting bid: one hundred top-grade Spiritual Veins! Or equivalent Heaven And Earth Treasures! Poor people need not apply!"

"Begin!"

Before the words had even faded, in a VIP private room on the second floor, an aged and sinister voice, as if coming from the depths of Hell, instantly rang out:

"This old man bids two hundred! This thing is perfect for inlaying the rim of my chamber pot! Let that old man Haotian smell my scent every day!"

The crowd gasped.

That was Ancestor Blood River from the Demon Realm! He was truly a titan of the Demonic Path; his methods were truly dirty! Buying the Immortal Emperor's ring to inlay a chamber pot? The insult was off the charts!

"Hmph, old ghost Blood River, is your chamber pot even worthy?"

From another private room came a charming, bone-melting female voice: "This palace bids three hundred! The color of this ring is not bad; it's perfect to make a collar for my favorite noisy pug. Let it wear this ring and bark at the Heavenly Court every day!"

"Hiss—it's the 'Thousand-Faced Enchantress' of the Joyous Union Sect! This woman is even more ruthless; she treats the Immortal Emperor like a dog?"

"Four hundred!"

"Five hundred!"

"One thousand top-grade Spiritual Veins! Plus one Nine-Turn Soul-Returning Pill!"

The price skyrocketed, as if it had taken a rocket.

Ordinary Cultivators were already scared silly; this was already a fight between immortals. This level of wealth was enough to buy half a medium-sized world! They couldn't even afford the fraction, so they could only become background noise, watching the big shots throw money around like dirt.

Lin Feng stood on the stage, listening to those astronomical figures, and the calculator in his heart was smoking from overuse.

"I'm rich, I'm rich! The money from these Devil Heads is so easy to earn! Is this what brand premium is? Old man Haotian, although you are no good as a person, your ability to drive sales is still top-notch!"

[Ding! Detected that the host's wealth value is growing at a terrifying speed! The System is in an extremely happy mood; critical hit points are charging up!]

Just as the price stalled at two thousand top-grade Spiritual Veins, and the various Devil Heads were starting to feel the pinch and the increments began to shrink.

The "Heaven No. 1" private room on the top floor, which had been silent and appeared exceptionally mysterious, suddenly lit up.

A cold, domineering voice, as if from the abyss of Hell, yet carrying a strangely noble temperament, slowly drifted out:

"Five thousand top-grade Spiritual Veins."

The whole venue instantly went quiet.

Immediately after, that voice continued:

"Plus one baptism quota for the 'Heavenly Demon Pool' of the Demon Realm."

"I want this item. Whoever dares to snatch it is an enemy of my Demon Realm."

Boom—!

The whole venue instantly exploded!

Five thousand?!

Have they moved the entire Demon Realm's family fortune here? And there's also a baptism quota for the Heavenly Demon Pool? That is a supreme Opportunity that can allow a Golden Immortal to directly achieve sainthood with their Physical Body and reshape their demonic body!

Ancestor Blood River and the Thousand-Faced Enchantress instantly shut their mouths. They recognized who the owner of that voice was, and were so scared they didn't even dare to fart, even trembling with fear.

Lin Feng was also stunned for a moment, looking towards that private room.

Although separated by a Formation, he could feel an extremely pure, noble, and even ancient Devilish Qi.

"This voice... why does it sound like a girl? And a super rich one at that?" Lin Feng muttered to himself, "Since when did the Demon Realm get so rich?"

"Five thousand once! Five thousand twice! Five thousand three times!"

"Sold!"

Lin Feng hammered the gavel, his face blooming with a smile; it was a heartfelt respect for money.

"Congratulations to the boss in the Heaven No. 1 private room for successfully winning an Immortal Emperor-style ring! Wishing you a happy life, and may you be happier the more you wear it! Um, could you leave a contact method? In the future, if I have good goods, I will prioritize contacting you!"

Inside the Heaven No. 1 private room.

A woman wearing a black robe with gold patterns, her face covered by a Chaos veil, looked at the jade ring respectfully delivered by the attendant, a trace of satisfaction flashing in her beautiful eyes.

"Haotian, you finally have today."

She gently stroked the ring, feeling the lingering aura on it, and a cold smile curled on her lips, "When I take it back to the Demon Realm and hang it on my father's war banner, let's see what face your Heavenly Court has left to rule the Three Realms! These five thousand Spiritual Veins were worth spending!"

Meanwhile, on the stage.

[Ding! Transaction complete!]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining five thousand top-grade Spiritual Veins and rare resources!]

[Converting to critical hit points... Detected that the transaction target has a special identity (Eldest Princess of the Demon Realm), critical hit multiplier doubled!]

[critical hit multiplier triggered: ten times!]

[Congratulations to the host! Obtained critical hit points: 300,000,000,000,000 (three hundred trillion)!]

Lin Feng looked at the long string of countless zeros on the System panel, trembling with excitement, almost performing a knee-slide for that mysterious buyer on the spot.

How is this a buyer? This is clearly my provider!

Demon Lord? Demon Realm Princess? Who cares who she is!

As long as she gives money, she is my Lin Feng's sworn sibling!
