The Invincible Dragon Emperor - Chapter 161

Chapter 161: He Can Afford It

It was just a drip of Origin Blood Essence. It was not even one from a Beast King. People didn’t know if this drip of blood had some problems or side effects.

One attempt at the Fate Wheel Realm would only cost three million Xuan Crystals. This many could be enough for one try for six times. Numerous Mystical Materials and pellets could be bought with the 20 million. By giving 20 Xuan Crystals to the Xu Family, the Xu Family could grant one a Third-rank Island directly.

What was worth noticing was Lu Li’s tone. He had yelled Bai Xiashuang’s name directly, in an unfriendly tone no less. This clearly indicated that he wanted to provoke Bai Xiashuang and shame her!

Now, Lu Li had called Bai Xiashuang by the name. This was not wanting her to have an easy way out. Either she continue to rise the price, or she would be shamed by Lu Li.

Patriarch Lu fell to the ground on his hips. He was completely at a loss of what to do out of fear. Hunchback Tian looked helpless as he thought his owner was such a nutcase.

Many people came to their senses. Not everyone could afford the 20 million Xuan Crystals. Lu Li really had so many?

"Eh?"

Bai Xiashuang looked to the middle-aged man sitting in the front row. She asked, "Head Steward Du, why don’t you send someone to verify? Can any random man call the 20 million?"

"Yes!"

"Okay. Follow me, please."

Lord Du seemed to be interested as well. He got up and walked to the corridor. He entered a side chamber following Lu Li and Zhan Yang.

Lu Li nodded. He saluted with his fists cupped, "Nice to meet you, Lord Du."

Lord Du had an elegant look. Lu Li could not sense his qi and energy, so Lord Du must be of at least the Fate Wheel Realm. Lord Du continued, "Whatever the result is like today, I will make you my friend."

Lu Li cupped his fist again. Then the ring on his hand glistened. Lu Li took out a jade box and said, "This is a Heaven Serpent Fruit. I think it can be used as collateral for that 20 million Xuan Crystals."

Lord Du’s eyes kindled. He knew the information of Heaven Serpent Fruit very well. One Heaven Serpent Fruit would basically mean a Fate Realm Warrior. That thing was priceless

. It was rare at the Central Plains, not to mention the Northern Desert.

Lord Du took a peep at the jade box and closed it at once. He handed it back to Lu Li and said, "Young Master Lu really is generous. I will make the call and give you a loan of 50 million Xuan Crystals on pledge of this. Plus you have the Interspatial Ring. You can make any offer as you like below the price of 60 million."

Lu Li walked out in strides. Lord Du put on a smile and followed him out. Zhan Yang left quickly as well with his face covered in excitement.

"Wow~"

Yun Ji was blushing. Her eyes glowed which gave her such an incomparably glamorous and pretty look. She didn’t say anything, trying to let people calm down first.

Private room No. 1 kept silent. After a while, the noises died down. Yun Ji made a hush gesture by pressing down her hand. She said with a smile, "Okay, please be quiet. It is going to be a sleepless night. It will be recorded in the history of the Heaven Punishing Auction House forever. Twenty million, are there any higher offers?"

People nodded in understanding. A patriarch of the Bai Family had resolved the matter. He stopped Bai Xiashuang from being mischievous. The Origin Blood Essence was not worth of this money. What if the competition went on and Lu Li suddenly quit bidding?

A muffled noise of footsteps came out from the private room. Someone was walking downstairs. Then a beautiful figure emerged at the end of the corridor. Bai Xiashuang glared at Lu Li before she turned back and exited.

Lu Li glared back at Bai Xiashuang. He knew that he had completely displeased Bai Xiashuang tonight. However, he felt it worthwhile to get the drip of Origin Blood Essence.

The deal was finally sealed. Lu Li exhaled of relief. Smiles climbed up on many man’s faces. They felt this trip tonight was rewarding.

Yet, after the competition between Lu Li and Bai Xiashuang, the top-level Xuan Artifact looked lamer. The final price was only eight million. It was bought by a young master from some family in a private room.

Lord Du smilingly said, "Young Master Lu, you have got the Origin Blood Essence. How do you wish to settle your bill?"

How could he possibly have so many Xuan Crystals? He had to hand over the Heaven Serpent Fruit and answered, "Lord Du, how about this? I will leave this to you as a collateral. If in half a year’s time I cannot get enough Xuan Crystals, you can sell the Heaven Serpent Fruit and deduct 20 million Xuan Crystals?"

After writing a pledge, Lu Li refused the invitation to dinner by Lord Du. Lu Li asked Zhan Yang to take him to a room to change into a new robe. He took off the Ghost Mask and quietly left the Heaven Punishing Auction House.

Outside of the auction house there parked a chariot. Chief Steward Bai was standing next to it. He said with a smile, "Brother Lu, Madam Yan has come back. She wants to invite you for a drink."
