Global Lords: Me and My Calabash Kiddos

Chapter 78: Chapter 70: Fiery Auction

Yi Tian placed greater emphasis on his protection, now even ceasing to sell captives at auctions to avoid exposing the coordinates of native tribes.

Especially captives from the Three-Eyed One-Horned Tribe and the Heaven-Reaching Tribe, which are closer to Yi Tian. Besides the High Priest, there must be others who know the tribe’s coordinates.

Unlike the Fierce Beast Gang, a bandit organization hunted by all.

When the Wealthiest in the World auction began, other auction houses experienced a dramatic decline in business.

The proprietors of these auction houses deeply regretted not choosing another day for their auction.

The Five-Star Auction House has five opportunities each month to organize personal auctions.

Most merchants are only One-Star Merchants, like Purple Phoenix Moon Dance.

A few are Two-Star Merchants, such as the Great Emperor, who has a high flow of Celestial Dao Coins.

And there is an even smaller number of Three-Star Merchants.

Currently, there are no Four-Star Merchants.

As before, Yi Tian was enshrouded in mist as he entered the Wealth Tower.

”Welcome to the second Wealthiest in the World auction. The Wealth Tower aims to present the most exquisite, rare treasures, various spirit fruits to enhance power, and divine weapons to boost combat strength.”

”There are many items for auction today; I hope the interested parties find what they desire, and I also wish that every Lord can safely get through this summer.”

Although the Lords could not see Yi Tian’s expression, they could sense he was smiling, his words like a gentle morning breeze.

Many marveled at how, even in such weather, Yi Tian could conduct the auction with such calm and ease, truly not to be underestimated.

In fact, upon learning that many intended to take him down, Yi Tian had planned to subtly mock them at today’s auction.

After all, Yi Tian was young and spirited.

But upon entering the auction house, Yi Tian immediately abandoned this immature idea.

He intended to maintain his mystery, to be inscrutable and unfathomable.

When one thinks of the Wealthiest in the World, it should be like now, enshrouded in mist.

”As per usual, the transaction currencies are Celestial Dao Coins, Element Cores, and Elemental Warrior Design Maps.”

While speaking, Yi Tian placed a large chest on the bidding platform.

It was the B-grade Beast-Catching Celestial Net.

With Yi Tian’s significant strength leap, the Celestial Beasts in Zone 10086 would undoubtedly see a great enhancement in power.

The B-grade Beast-Catching Celestial Net was no longer useful.

But the ordinary regions were as numerous as cattle, with plenty of ordinary regions having Three-dimensional measures below two hundred.

They might potentially use the Beast-Catching Celestial Net to hunt Celestial Beasts.

How many talents are there in the world?

Even in ordinary regions, some exceptional individuals or fortunate people will emerge.

The B-grade Beast-Catching Celestial Net is precisely for these individuals.

”This item is the B-grade Beast-Catching Celestial Net; you probably have already examined it using a Celestial Dao Stone. It is said that this item was meticulously crafted by an Artifact Refining Master who went to study at a Technology Planet. Ordinary fierce beasts are easy captures!”

”Our world harbors the Eight Great Celestial Beasts: the Rain Beast and Spring Beast of spring, which many have already encountered. The Flame Beast of summer has appeared, troubling us greatly, and the Summer Beast has also emerged, lurking in some corner, severing communication between Lords and native tribes.”

”Everyone is aware of the Celestial Beasts’ might, yet they are not invincible. When a Celestial Beast appears, its Three-dimensional measures are nearly on par with the strongest in the region; its peculiarity mainly lies in its Special Talent. In the vast cosmos, there are countless Odd People. Killing a Celestial Beast grants rewards of High-Level Treasure Chests, with the Celestial Dao Rules bestowing plentiful attributes, and most importantly, a Celestial Pearl, a special treasure.”

”Assemble four Celestial Pearls, and one can awaken a Divine Talent through their power. I boldly speculate that Celestial Beasts will only appear during our first year in this world. After this year, acquiring Celestial Pearls might no longer be possible.”

”This year will be a year of tribulations and opportunities. We must seize every chance.”

”Although this Beast-Catching Celestial Net cannot directly catch Celestial Beasts, it can hold a D-level Celestial Beast momentarily, and a C-level Celestial Beast for a breath.”

”Some might feel a breath is too short, but a Lord with true insight can perceive the significance of that moment.”

”The starting price for the B-grade Beast-Catching Celestial Net is one hundred thousand Celestial Dao Coins, with each bid increment no less than ten thousand. Let’s start the bidding now.”

Before the auction, Yi Tian said much. He talked not about fierce beasts but about Celestial Beasts.

Letting the Lords see the value of the Beast-Catching Celestial Net.

How difficult is it to kill the Rain Beast?

Out of tens of thousands of regions, perhaps only a single Odd Person can conquer the Rain Beast.

Not to mention the far stronger Summer Beast, which grows stronger with the strongest in the region, virtually requiring Divine Talent to handle.

Like other auctioneers, the tactic was to let the Lords understand the preciousness of the B-grade Beast-Catching Celestial Net.

Increase the bids!

But under the Celestial Dao Rules, auctioneers cannot lie; exaggerating an item could, if severe, lead to losing the privilege to host personal auctions.

Yi Tian avoided exaggerating the Beast-Catching Celestial Net, only boasting of the Celestial Beasts!

If by the following month, everyone’s power had risen another notch, Celestial Beasts would also grow stronger.

The B-grade Beast-Catching Celestial Net’s effectiveness would be markedly reduced, unlikely to fetch a high price at auction again.

This was also why Yi Tian chose to sell the Beast-Catching Celestial Net.

After Yi Tian’s persuasion, many top Lords of ordinary regions showed enthusiastic expressions.

Especially those who already owned a Celestial Pearl!

What does a Divine Talent represent?

Acquiring it dramatically increases survival chances.

So what about being the best in the region?

The crowning tree in the forest attracts the wind.

Throughout the past month, countless top positions in various regions have been traded again and again.

The Cosmic Ten Thousand Races have outstanding individuals, and the Celestial Dao World’s Indigenous People have quite a few as well.

The indigenous tribe is determined to target the number one in the region for some reason, and the chances of capturing it are still very high.

The Lords of the Middle-Level Region are tempted, but they have to consider the practicality of the Beast-Catching Celestial Net, at most trying to compete a bit.

”Five hundred thousand, seven hundred thousand, one million, one million two hundred thousand... one million five hundred thousand...”

As Yi Tian’s voice fell, countless bids floated across the celestial stone light curtain of Yi Tian.

The lower bids were automatically eliminated, and the final price was fixed at 1.5 million, and it wasn’t just one, there were seven identical bids. The Lord bid again!” Yi Tian shouted loudly.

Yi Tian certainly did not think this was the final price, even Skage could earn 150 Dao Coins, not to mention other regions full of talent.

Even though everyone knows that after buying the Automatic Beast-Catching Celestial Net, the probability of capturing a Celestial Beast is not high.

In the first round of bidding, many Lords were probing. With assurance in mind, a Lord immediately bid 3.1 million Dao Coins in the second round.

This still isn’t the limit for an ordinary Lord!

”The current auction price is 3.1 million Dao Coins, if there are no new bids, the transaction will be completed in 30 seconds.”

Just as Yi Tian finished announcing his bid!

”3 million Dao Coins, 3.5 million Dao Coins, 4 million Dao Coins, 5 million Dao Coins...”

A bid of five million Dao Coins appeared at the top of Yi Tian’s light curtain.

”The current auction price is 5 million Dao Coins...”

”5 million Dao Coins, two Element Cores.”

”5 million Dao Coins, four Element Cores.”

...

”5 million Dao Coins, ten Element Cores.”

After a moment of silence, just as Yi Tian was about to start the countdown.

A Lord bid 6 million Dao Coins with thirteen Element Cores.

This kind of fortune among ordinary regional Lords is one in ten thousand.

Opening treasure chests won’t bring in such a sum of money, unless one trades, or like Skage, possesses a money-making skill.

Or perhaps extorted from an indigenous tribe!

Buying a B-level Beast-Catching Celestial Net is tantamount to gambling. Gambling whether the Summer Beast or Flame Beast will visit their territory.

At the same time, it’s a battle of life and death.

The profits after victory, even ten million Dao Coins, are paltry. Failure, and death is highly likely!

In the Celestial Dao World, what isn’t lacking is Lords with an adventurous spirit.

The adventurers who survive become even stronger!

Finally!

The B-level Beast-Catching Celestial Net was taken by this Lord!

”The B-level Beast-Catching Celestial Net transaction is complete, I sincerely wish these Lords can kill the Celestial Beast and complete their transformation. Next, we will be auctioning B-level Spirit Fruit Wine. There will be three bottles of Spirit Fruit Wine, each bottle 1 liter, auctioned separately.”

Yi Tian placed a bottle of Spirit Fruit Wine on the competitive platform and said in an intoxicated tone: ”B-level Spirit Fruit Wine, like drinking nectar and dew, with lingering charm. Just a cup can increase several attribute points. Although we are separated by distance, just a whiff of the wine fragrance makes me regret auctioning, not intoxicated, but already drunk deep in heart...”

”Now, B-level Spirit Fruit Wine*1! Official auction begins, base price 100,000 Dao Coins, each increase no less than 10,000 Dao Coins.”

Feeling it’s almost enough to entice some drunkards, only then Yi Tian officially announced.

100,000 Dao Coins, 200,000 Dao Coins... 500,000 Dao Coins... 1 million Dao Coins.

1.5 million Dao Coins.

The drunkards raise the price without reasoning.

”The current Spirit Fruit Wine price is 1.5 million Dao Coins, if there are no new bids, the transaction will be completed in 30 seconds.” Yi Tian was very satisfied with the first round of bids.

Skage, bathed under high temperatures, looked grief-stricken, heart-wrenched.

He knew that if he didn’t win the first bottle, the second and third would be even less chance.

Many Lords storing Spirit Fruit Wine saw how valuable the Spirit Fruit Wine was, and secretly delighted.

Although they can’t organize a personal auction, they can list it slightly under the Wealth Tower price at the auction house.

Second round of price increases!

1.8 million Dao Coins!

million Dao Coins!

2.5 million Dao Coins!

As the prices went up, a Lord directly offered 2.5 million Dao Coins and one Thunder Element Core.

The Lords instantly ’sobered up’, though many could offer higher prices, they have to consider gains and losses.

Would there be a chance with the remaining two bottles of Spirit Fruit Wine?

In essence, a bottle of B-level Spirit Fruit Wine isn’t worth 300,000 Dao Coins.

The extra 270,000 bought the craving for wine.

In the cosmos, there is a group of people who are drunkards, but they have no money.

If a Lord has some power, even if they are addicted to wine, they can restrain themselves slightly.

Ordinary beer, spirits, wine, are still easy to purchase!

Finally, the first bottle of B-level Spirit Fruit Wine was auctioned for 2.5 million Dao Coins and one Element Core.

The second bottle of Spirit Fruit Wine was auctioned for 3.1 million Dao Coins.

The third bottle of Spirit Fruit Wine was auctioned for 3.2 million Dao Coins.
