Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 696: Gale Trading Company

In the VIP seats, Xiao Yi had his eyes closed, pretending to sleep.

Beside him, Du Youyou was bidding joyfully.

Eventually, after her third bid, the disciples from the Wind Dance Sword Sect stopped bidding.

"Are they out of their minds? A mere Wind and Fire Elemental Fruit going for nearly eight times its value."

One of the Wind Dance Sword Sect disciples muttered a few curses and sat down frustrated.

"Maybe they just have more money than sense, haha."

The disciples from the Wind Dance Sword Sect sneered.

In the VIP seats, Xiao Yi couldn’t care less.

Beside him, Du Youyou received the Wind and Fire Elemental Fruit passed over by a maid and laughed, "It’s really delightful to spend money that’s not one’s own."

Suddenly, a flash of light appeared, and the Wind and Fire Elemental Fruit in Du Youyou’s hand disappeared.

Xiao Yi, holding the fruit, said indifferently, "Taking advantage while pretending to be cute, I’m confiscating this."

"What? Master, how can you do this? Give it back." Du Youyou pouted and stretched out her hand.

Xiao Yi smiled and said, "It depends on your performance. If your Cultivation has increased these days, and your knowledge of refining improved."

"I will refine it into an Elixir Elixir for you."

Du Youyou’s eyes sparkled, and she said, "Thank you, Master."

The auction was still ongoing.

Xiao Yi ignored it while Du Youyou played joyfully at his side.

However, afterwards, she did not bid on any more goods and just messed around casually.

Time gradually passed.

On the auction stage below, the auctioneer suddenly smiled broadly and announced loudly, "Next, we come to the climax of this auction, also the last item for sale."

With his words, a maid carrying a mysterious wooden box slowly walked towards the auction stage.

Beside her, several robust men closely followed.

These robust men were all Earth Element Peak Martial Artists.

The mysterious wooden box was placed on the auction stage, and the auctioneer slowly opened it.

A fruit with shades of green and red emerged from within the box, surrounded by a misty radiance that dazzled the eyes.

"Another Wind and Fire Elemental Fruit?"

The guests furrowed their brows.

"No, it’s not a Wind and Fire Elemental Fruit, its aura is way stronger."

"Could it be..."

The guests seemed to realize something, and suddenly their expressions changed dramatically.

Pairs of bright eyes stared intently at the fruit on the auction stage.

"Wind and Fire Soul Refining Fruit."

Finally, a guest called out the name of the fruit.

On the auction stage, the auctioneer smiled without saying a word.

He didn’t even need to speak, as the guests’ emotions were already heightened to the maximum by the fruit.

"5 million silver taels."

Someone immediately made an offer.

The rarity of the Wind and Fire Soul Refining Fruit was known to all.

And without the auctioneer even announcing the starting price, someone had already placed a bid.

"8 million silver taels."

"10 million silver taels."

"15 million silver taels."

"..."

Bids kept on coming incessantly, never pausing for a moment.

At the VIP seats, Xiao Yi was slightly surprised, "It’s actually one of the rarest Holy Fruits among the Eighth Grade Heavenly Materials."

"For a Fire Attribute Martial Soul Warrior or a Wind Attribute Martial Soul Warrior, consuming it has miraculous effects on enhancing Martial Soul Power."

"Youyou, it seems that I’m going bankrupt this auction."

"Bankrupt?" Du Youyou frowned, "Then Xiao Yi, let’s just not take this fruit."

"Fool." Xiao Yi smiled faintly, "Money is a small matter. Wind and Fire Soul Refining Fruit is extremely rare, I must buy it."

The Wind and Fire Soul Refining Fruit was a perfect match for Du Youyou’s attributes.

Her Green Mysterious Red Fire was precisely a combination of wind and fire attributes.

Once swallowing the Wind and Fire Soul Refining Fruit, both the Green Mysterious Wind and the Red Fire’s power would greatly increase.

This was almost tantamount to enhancing her innate potential.

"100 million silver taels."

Suddenly, a bold, loud voice rang out among the guests.

The guests immediately turned their gaze toward the speaker.

"What? 100 million silver taels?"

"200 million." A quiet voice sounded.

The bidder was Xiao Yi.

"Three billion." The person who had bid just now bid again.

"Five billion." Xiao Yi bid without hesitation.

"What? Five billion taels?" The guests had already widened their eyes.

"Six billion." The previous bidder had abruptly stood up.

The one who stood up was an elderly man, who was now staring intently at Xiao Yi’s VIP seat.

"Friend, could you give this old man some face?"

"This Wind and Fire Soul Refining Fruit is of great importance to this old man."

"Eight billion." Xiao Yi didn’t respond to the old man and stated his bid directly.

"Dammit." The elder shouted angrily, his aura bursting forth.

He was indeed a Heavenly Origin Peak Martial Artist.

"Friend, do you truly wish to oppose this old man?"

In the entire auction hall, only the old man and Xiao Yi continued to bid.

Xiao Yi didn’t respond.

On the auction stage, the auctioneer asked, "Eight billion taels, is there any further bid?"

"Nine billion." The old man gritted his teeth and bid.

"Eleven billion." Xiao Yi bid again without hesitation.

Each increment was by two billion.

After this, the old man did not bid again.

However, his gaze towards the VIP seat was filled with resentment.

A hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

The final item had been sold; thus, the auction was declared over.

...

Inside the VIP seat.

A maid came forward with a box of blackwood, inside which was the Wind and Fire Soul Refining Fruit.

Next to the maid was a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man approached Xiao Yi, clasped his hands, and said, "Young friend, my name is Situ Weifeng, Chief Steward of the Golden Wind Trading Company."

Xiao Yi nodded.

Situ Weifeng said, "Young friend, you have three bottles of elixirs, totaling 15 pills."

"Golden Wind Trading Company is willing to purchase them for eighty million taels per pill. Are you satisfied with this?"

"That is acceptable," Xiao Yi nodded.

Golden Wind Trading Company had not listed these 15 elixir pills as auction items.

Yet their offer was not low.

Eighty million taels per elixir pill seemed extremely expensive.

Truly, the effects of each type of elixir were enough to make any warrior beneath the Extreme Realm extremely envious.

Peak Seventh-grade Detoxification Pills, Peak Seventh-grade Hidden Qi Pills.

Even for Heavenly Origin Peak Martial Artists, these two types of pills were excellent lifesaving items.

And the Heaven Breaking Pill, with its effect of increasing the chances of breaking into the Heavenly Origin Realm by 30%, was nothing short of miraculous.

If given to the talented young ones of great families or powers, it could save many years of hard cultivation.

"Fifteen elixir pills, totaling twelve billion taels," Situ Weifeng said.

"Subtracting the eleven billion taels spent on the Wind and Fire Soul Refining Fruit, that leaves one billion taels."

"As for that Wind and Fire Elemental Fruit, consider it a gift from Golden Wind Trading Company to make friends with you, young friend, not charged separately."

"That won’t be necessary," Xiao Yi shook his head.

"Use the remaining one billion taels for the Wind and Fire Elemental Fruit."

Having said that, Xiao Yi took the Wind and Fire Soul Refining Fruit and left with Du Youyou.

As they left the Golden Wind Trading Company, a group of martial artists immediately surrounded them.

"There has never been anything I wanted that others dared to contend for," declared a very fat young man with a meaty face, blocking the way.

His sleazy visage was full of maliciousness and ferocity.

At his side was the elderly man who had been bidding against Xiao Yi.

Behind him was a group of martial artists fierce as wolves.

At that moment, from within the trading company, Situ Weifeng brought a team of company guards and hurried out.

"Ah, if it isn’t Young Master Chen Yuan from Gale Trading Company, gracing our Golden Wind Trading Company today is truly an honor for us."

Situ Weifeng approached the young man with a smile on his face.

Meanwhile, an urgent message was silently transmitted to Xiao Yi’s ears.

"Young Xiao Yi, leave quickly."

...

The first update.

I was sick in all kinds of ways yesterday and really couldn’t update, sorry.

I will make up for it today.
