Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Chapter 494: Chapter 245: Hundred Ghosts Melting Furnace_3

The two exchanged glances, and a single phrase appeared in both of their minds.

[Heroic Spirit]!

As for the Qin Family members, their expressions were utterly stunned.

Originally, everyone thought that Chu Xiu spending the family’s money made them uncomfortable, but now, reflecting on it, they only felt like frogs at the bottom of the well. Who would care about small change when they could casually call out a hundred billion?

”Box Three in the Sky Room, one hundred and ten billion.” Just as everyone was in shock, a new bid sounded from the speaker in the booth.

This time, Chu Xiu’s doubling tactic did not intimidate others, as the value of this [Anchor Point] was simply too high.

And Chu Xiu didn’t opt for a violent increase like last time.

A Sky Room is very likely to mean that someone inside is a Heroic Spirit!

Such opponents require different tactics.

”Box One in the Sky Room, one hundred and twenty billion.”

At this moment, someone else made a move.

Chu Xiu’s brows furrowed again.

”One hundred and fifty billion,” he said coldly, instantly raising the bid by thirty billion.

However, shortly after his words fell, a voice sounded from Box One in the Sky Room, undeterred.

”One hundred and eighty billion!”

The same increase of thirty billion, as if demonstrating their resolve to Chu Xiu, which made his expression more solemn.

The others in the booth were so overwhelmed by the enormous amounts that they barely dared to breathe, all nervously watching Chu Xiu.

”Brother Qin, perhaps you should reconsider. Box One in the Sky Room belongs to the Jiang Family, one of the four great families in Kyoto. Recently, they have a Civilization Envoy, and they are in the limelight!” The Xu Family Patriarch swallowed nervously.

”Yes, yes,” added the He Family Patriarch, ”The four great families act tyrannically. Be careful that they don’t hold a grudge.”

Chu Xiu didn’t respond, just squinted his eyes further and calmly said, ”Two hundred billion.”

”Two hundred and ten billion!” The opposition immediately followed up.

”Two hundred and twenty billion!”

”Two hundred and thirty billion!!”

”Two hundred and fifty billion!!!”

As Chu Xiu called out this astounding number, the opposite side finally fell silent, and the entire venue became deathly quiet.

Even in Shanghai’s annual auction, such an amount was exceptionally rare!

The people in the booth were completely stupefied.

”Knock, knock, knock.”

Then, a rhythmic knocking sound broke the still atmosphere.

An attendant came to Chu Xiu’s side and whispered, ”Sir, the guest from Box One in the Sky Room wishes to meet you.”

Although he spoke quietly, considering everyone present was an Awakened, they all heard it clearly, and their faces turned pale with only one thought in mind:

”It’s over!”

”They followed up!”

Chu Xiu’s expression remained calm, only lightly saying, ”Please come in.”

He wasn’t speaking to the servant but rather muttering to himself, his voice not loud, but as soon as the words fell, the door of the booth was pushed open.

A child with rosy cheeks and white teeth, looking no more than eight or nine years old, walked in.

The child’s forehead bore a red mole, eerily incongruent with his youthful appearance, but his eyes displayed a depth that belied his years, exuding an extremely powerful yet barely perceptible aura.

As he pushed the door open and entered, everyone instantly realized that this was undoubtedly a Heroic Spirit!

Everyone immediately stood up, their demeanor becoming cautious, even breaking out in a cold sweat, except for Chu Xiu, who remained quietly seated.

The child disregarded everyone else, locking his gaze directly onto Chu Xiu.

After a while, he chuckled softly, ”I am Jiang Lingfu, and you seem unfamiliar. May I have the honor of knowing your name?”

”Qin Yu,” Chu Xiu responded calmly.

”So it’s Brother Qin,” Jiang Lingfu nodded, ”Time is tight, so I’ll be straightforward. I hope Brother Qin won’t mind.”

”Please speak, Brother Jiang.”

”Our Jiang Family descends from the ancient Jiang clan, naturally adept at controlling the Divine Soul, with a large number of Soul System professions in the clan. This [Anchor Point] may entail a chance for several to advance to Heroic Spirits; hence, our clan has prepared funds exceeding five hundred billion. We are determined to obtain it.”

”Talking to Brother Qin in advance, we hope to avoid bidding against each other and benefiting a third party.”

”May we ask if Brother Qin could let us have it? Our Jiang Family is willing to offer appropriate compensation to Brother Qin.”

Jiang Lingfu’s words left the other two family patriarchs stunned.

Is this still the Kyoto Four Great Families, notorious for their domineering ways? How did they suddenly change character?

Not only were they persuading with kind words, but they even offered extra compensation!

The other party already showed so much sincerity; surely, there would be a compromise now, surely he wouldn’t really oppose the four great families...

”Sorry.”

However, their thoughts hadn’t settled when Chu Xiu’s refusal already came out.

He slowly turned around, calmly looking at the growing displeasure on Jiang Lingfu’s face, and said blandly:

”I am also determined to obtain this [Anchor Point].”

”If your Jiang Family can afford five hundred billion, then I will bid six hundred billion!”
