Chapter 290 Ch 290: 1 Billion Supreme Coin!
After another round, the price of the Fire Spirit Bead had increased to 440 million. At this time, the Kong and Di Family Elders had resigned themselves to their fate and quit the competition.
No matter how unwilling they were, they could only empty out so many Spirit Stones. The others needed to compete for the Sky Fire Bird's egg. If their selfishness caused them to lack Spirit Stones to compete for the Sky Fire Bird's egg, the consequences would not be simple.
"450 million Supreme Coins!"
"455 million Supreme Coins!!"
"460 million Supreme Coins!"
"465 million Supreme Coins!"
The Xiong Family elder and the Lu Family's current Family Head competed with one another. Soon, the price of the Fire Spirit Bead rose to 465 million.
465 million Supreme Coins means that the price was 465 million Middle-Garde Spirit Stones. This was a terrifying amount of wealth. Such wealth was enough to support an ordinary family for a thousand years, or even longer.
Cultivators on the First and Second Floors were numb as they watched the two of them continuously compete. The price that they were bidding caused everyone to be extremely shocked.
The two of them had been competing for a long time, so the Xiong Family Elder was annoyed. "Lu, you have to respect the younger generation!"
The elder of the Xiong Family was a Peak Martial Ancestor Realm martial artist, and he was more than three hundred years old. The current Family Head of the Lu Family was only around two hundred years old. Strictly speaking, there was a difference of a generation between the two of them. But the current leader of the Lu family was already a Martial Saint Realm martial artist.
The previous Patriarch of the Lu Family, who was also the father of the current Patriarch of the Lu Family, was about the same age as the elder of the Xiong Family.
The current Family Head of the Lu Family didn't give the elder any face. He said, "Old man, you have lived for so long, but you still dare to say such words. In this world, strength is everything. You are indeed older than me, but in terms of strength, I am stronger!"
With the current strength and potential of the Lu family's Family Head, he was qualified to look down on the elder of the Xiong family.
"You..." Being looked down upon by the Lu family's current Family Head, the elder of the Xiong family was undoubtedly enraged. However, other than pointing at the current Family Head of the Lu family, the elder of the Xiong family really couldn't do anything to him.
This was the Holy Spirit City, the base camp of the Lu family. If he were to really do something out of the limit, he might not be able to return to the Xiong Family.
"Cough, Xiong Elder, if you don't bid, then this Fire Spirit Bead is is going to belong to the Lu Family Head." When Elder Hu saw that Xiong Elder and Lu Family Head were still arguing, he could not help but cough and say.
Xiong Elder immediately stopped quarrelling with Lu Family Head and shouted, "500 million Supreme Coins!"
Xiong Elder raised the price by 35 million.
Lu Family Head sneered and said coldly, "550 million!"
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air again. The bid for the Fire Spirit Bead had already reached such a high price, yet it was still increasing.
The two of them quickly raised the price of the Fire Spirit Bead to 700 million Supreme Coins.
When it reached 700 million Supreme Coins, Xiong Family's Elder could not take it anymore. In terms of total wealth, the Xiong Family was definitely not inferior to the Lu Family, or perhaps even stronger. However, this was Holy Spirit City and not the Xiong Family.
Xiong Family's Elder could only squander a limited number of Spirit Stones, but Lu Family Head's Lu Family was in the Holy Spirit City. If they lacked Spirit Stones, they could send someone back to the Lu Family to retrieve them.
Thinking of this, Xiong Family's Elder knew that he could no longer compete with Lu Family's Head, so he could only shut his mouth with an ashen face.
Everyone shook their heads silently. It seemed like the Fire Spirit Bead was destined to belong to the Lu family. Perhaps, it would not be long before another Martial Saint Realm martial artist will appear in the Lu family.
"700 million Supreme Coins, is there anyone else who would offer a higher price?" Elder Hu looked around and knew that there was basically no higher price than 700 million Supreme Coins. This was just a routine inquiry.
On the third floor, Room 15, Lu Family's Head revealed a trace of a smile. The Fire Spirit Bead was about to be in his hands.
Just as Lu Family's Head thought that the Fire Spirit Bead was already in his pocket and Elder Hu also thought that 700 million was the final price, a faint voice suddenly sounded from the second floor.
This voice was like a bomb exploding in everyone's ears, causing them to feel dizzy. Lu Family Head's expression immediately stiffened.
The one who shouted out was Ye Xiao, who was in room number 22 on the second floor.
As for the price that Ye Xiao shouted out, it was 800 million supreme coins!
Everyone's shocked eyes fell on room number 22 on the second floor. They were shocked that there was actually someone on the second floor who dared to compete with Lu Family Head. They were shocked that there was actually someone so rich on the second floor who carried so many Spirit Stones with him. What exactly is the power behind this person?
In an instant, the way everyone looked at Ye Xiao's room changed.
However, Lu Family's Head was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. He didn't care at all and roared furiously, "900 million Supreme Coins!"
The Fire Spirit Bead that he thought he would definitely get had an exception. Lu Family Head's expression was gloomy.
Inside room number 22 on the second floor of the Sacred pavilion, Ye Xiao let out a light laugh. Competing with him in terms of Spirit Stones was simply courting his own humiliation.
Although this kind of price was something Ye Xiao had never thought about before but he did not care at the time. He can take out as much as he wants. He can even take out an unlimited amount of High-Grade Spirit Stones let alone Middle-Grade Spirit Stones.
What surprised him was that there were so many peoples who can take out hundreds of millions of Middle-Grade Spirit Stones without batting an eye. It was really unbelievable.
Ye Xiao again said lazily, "1 billion Supreme Coins!"
? Hiss!
This time, even Elder Hu and the other experts from the Great Powers were shocked. It was not that they could not take out 1 billion Middle-Grade Spirit Stones. They could take out this amount of spirit stones however, this amount of spirit stones did not belong solely to them but the power behind them. In terms of individual strength, it was impossible for them to take out so much without feeling any heartache.
From Ye Xiao's tone, they could clearly sense that Ye Xiao did not care about the 1 billion Supreme Coins. This was not something that could be faked.
"1 billion Supreme Coins!" On the third floor, in the 15th room, Lu Family's Head clenched his fists tightly, his face was extremely gloomy.
To the Lu family, 1 billion Middle-Grade Spirit Stones were not a small amount. It was the wealth of the entire Lu family. They only had around 20 billion Supreme Coins and this was prepared for the competition of the Sky Fire Bird's egg.
The Lu Family's Head really wanted to raise the price by 500 million in one go, but when he thought about the Sky Fire Bird's egg, he had no choice but to bear with it.
Although the Fire Spirit Bead was a precious Spirit Bead, it was only worth around 1 billion Supreme Coins. Any more and he would suffer a great loss.
The Lu Family's Head's face darkened for a while, then he said in a very aggressive tone, "May I know who you are? Are you sure you have so many Spirit Stones? Since you are on the second floor, you must be from the outside world. After all, 1 billion Supreme Coins is equivalent to 1 billion Middle-Grade Spirit Stones. If you make a mistake, it won't be easy to settle this matter. "
The Lu Family's head thought that Ye Xiao had misjudged the exchange rate of Supreme Coins and Middle-Grade Spirit Stones, which was why he was so generous in bidding for the Fie Spirit Bead.
Elder Hu's heart skipped a beat and he couldn't help but suspect something. After all, it was not as if such a melodramatic incident had never happened before.
