Chapter 333: The Final Offer

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

It was not the first occurrence for Lu Li. He had the same reaction when he was at the Heaven Punishing Auction House when that drop of blood appeared.

When that drop of blood was presented, the silver dragon mark on his back glowed. His Burning Blood Skill was released without control and his blood boiled. His mind was full of the idea that he must get that blood.

Right now, he was having the same reaction again. His blood boiled and the silver dragon Bloodline sent over messages after messages to have him get that beast claw.

Last time, the drop of blood gave Lu Li Dragon Roar. This beast claw must be useful to his Bloodline as well. Therefore, Lu Li had shouted that he must have it at all costs.

He forced himself to calm down. He turned around, forced a smile and said to Han Wuxin, “Lord Wuxin, this beast claw is very helpful to me and I will buy it. But I will pay for it myself. I can afford billions of Xuan Crystals.”

Han Wuxin threw Lu Li’s silver eyes a meaningful glances. He had new admiration for Lu Li now. A warrior at the Soul Pond Realm had released qi and energy so powerful that even Han Wuxin felt a bit suffocated. This young man was complicated. If he really was a direct disciple of the Lu Family, then Han Wuxin had made a worthy bet.

Han Wuxin soon made up his mind, “Since it means so much to you, Brother Lu, just do it. I will give you more if you don’t have enough Xuan Crystals. It’s okay.”

“Alright!”

Lu Li said nothing else. He nodded and then looked downward. The beautiful hostess had started the process. The lowest price was one billion Xuan Crystals, which was high already.

The ones sitting in the hall downstairs were basically from small families. They weren’t qualified to bid on something like this. They were just here to enjoy the show.

Soon, a person from some private room made an offer. The beast claw must come from a beast king at the very least. It might have come from an offering of an ancient beast. The three drops of blood alone would be valuable.

Soon, the price was raised to two billion and offers were made quite frequently. Lu Li said nothing. He sat in silence.

Yu Huashen, Ming Yu and others nervously waited for Lu Li to make a move.

Price was still going up. By the time the offer was at three billion, there were less people bidding on it. Only guests in three private rooms were still bidding.

After a while of observation, Han Wuxin explained, “The offer is made by the Tu Family in private room 7, a sixth-rank Family. Of the other two, there is the Yang Family of the Pavilion of the Green Water and another sixth-rank Family, the Chen Family.”

Lu Li looked around in surprise and asked, “People from the Pavilion of Green Water are bidding as well? I thought the auction house belongs to the Pavilion of Green Water.”

“Ha, ha!”

Han Wuxin grinned and said, “The Pavilion of Green Water is not made up by one family, but four. The Yang Family is a small family there. The Pavilion of Delicacy and the Heaven’s Roar Palace are made up of several families as well. Currently, the Jiang Family is controlling the Pavilion of Delicacy and the Ke Family for the Heaven’s Roar Palace. Any family controlling the 12 forces will be a member of the 12 Royal Families. If the Jiang Family could not take control anymore, another family would rise up and that family would become the new Royal Family.”

“Oh, I see!”

Lu Li finally understood. Yu Huashen and Ming Yu were not surprised. Many forces at the Northern Desert were formed by several families as well. Some of the families would take turns to run; some forces would be controlled by the more powerful ones; and some forces were under allied control.

The price was still going up. Yang Family of the Pavilion of Green Water quit. Only the sixth-rank Families of Tu Family and Chen Family were still making offers.

Ming Yu and Yu Huashen broke into sweat in fright. The price was high. If Lu Li bought it at a higher price, they would have no money to travel. Would the Han Family lend them so many Xuan Crystals?

The price was now at 4.5 billion. Tu Family made no further offer. Clearly, they were at their limits now and they didn’t want to go on.

Lu Li finally made a move. He said to Han Wuxin, “Please make an offer of five billion for me.”

Wealthy as the Han Family was, Han Wuxin was shocked by Lu Li’s generosity. Others usually only rise the price by 100 or 200 million, but Lu Li had increased the offer by 500 million in one go.

Han Wuxin knew that Lu Li had got many Purple Xuan Crystals and Soul Crystals. Lu Li also said that he had billions of Xuan Crystals. Han Wuxin didn’t refuse. It must feel good to be generous and to intimidate other families using other’s money. Han Wuxin shouted, “Five billion.”

People were shocked, expectedly, but it was followed by silence. Everyone turned to the Chen Family. They added another 100 million after some consideration. Han Wuxin turned to Lu Li who waved his hand and said, “Six billion.”

Han Wuxin rolled his eyes. Lu Li had taken such stunning actions. Was he thinking that Xuan Crystals were worthless?

On the other hand, this kind of offer would be effective to let others know that they must have this so that others wouldn’t dare to make another offer.

Han Wuxin again excitedly shouted, “Six billion!”

People were discussing in heat again. Chen Family said nothing. They didn’t make another offer. Lu Li and Han Wuxin were relieved. The six billion was a lot but Lu Li was satisfied.

Right when the beautiful hostess was about to call it, suddenly someone from a private room made an offer of seven billion.

Everyone downstairs were shocked. Han Wuxin and Lu Li became gloomy. They knew that it was Song He from his voice without even having to check the private room number.

The Song Family never made an offer but now they had lifted the price by 1 billion. Their intentions were clear—Han Wuxin basically offended Song He openly. Song He was retaliating. He was trying to lift the price on purpose or to take away the treasure.

Han Wuxin looked at Lu Li for opinion. Lu Li lower his head. After a while of thoughts, he reached out 10 fingers.

“Ten billion?”

Han Wuxin and the several Han Family Patriarchs were taken by surprise. Was Lu Li out of his mind? Up the offer by three billion? Did he have so many Xuan Crystals?

Lu Li nodded in certainty. Han Wuxin bit his teeth and shouted, “Ten billion and no more.”

Han Wuxin was making it clear. If Song He was only trying to increase the price, then he had succeeded. If the Song Family provided another higher offer but Lu Li quit, then Song Family would have to pay for it.

This time, there was no noise. Everyone was waiting for the Song Family to make an offer, but they didn’t. They didn’t want the beast claw after all. They were just trying to make the price higher.

“Bang!”

The beautiful hostess put down her gravel and called it the final offer. It was the highest offer of the day as well. Ten billion Xuan Crystals was almost equal to what a fifth-rank family had. All that money were spent just to get one piece of treasure.

“Yu Huashen, give him the Xuan Crystals and give him the Soul Crystals as well if there are not enough.”

Lu Li waved his hand. Yu Huashen gave Han Wuxin the Interspatial Ring with the Purple Xuan Crystals. There were more than 700,000 Purple Xuan Crystals which would be worth more than seven billion Xuan Crystals. All that were spent by Lu Li in one go.

Then Lu Li gave Han Wuxin another 2000 Soul Crystals for him to settle the bill with the auction house.

Han Wuxin gladly accepted. It was such a high price that he could not make the decision of making it a gift. He sent a patriarch to settle the bills and get the beast claw back.

There was another piece being auctioned. Lu Li and the others didn’t pay any attention. By the time the auction was over, the patriarch of the Han Family came back. The huge golden claw was brought back as well.

Lu Li took over the golden claw with excitement. Last time, that drip of blood helped him awake the Dragon Roar Skill. What would this golden claw give him?

He was looking forward to it!
