Above all spirits

Chapter 166 Sky-high Price

The "battle" lasted for nearly fifteen minutes.

The battle for the "Thunder Emperor's Insights" has finally come to an end.

And at this time.

The price on the auction table had already soared to an astonishing 880,000 Star Coins.

That's 880,000 Star Coins!

Even if you have 800 million gold coins, you can't exchange them for 800,000 star coins in the Canglan Empire.

Any empire, or even a major clan, may outwardly promise to exchange for you, but once things reach a certain point, they will only care about their own interests, since the development of an empire is always external.

What good are a lot of gold coins?

It cannot be circulated between star systems at all.

Even Shang Wenqing, who doesn't usually pay much attention to numbers, couldn't help but sigh and murmur to himself.

"A staggering sum of 880,000 Star Coins!"

"It would take me, a business owner, several years of hard work to barely scrape together this amount."

"Just for a book of insights, what if the Thunder Emperor's intention is only vaguely mentioned, or the conditions for its condensation are extremely high? It's not hard to guess that it would be put up for auction just by the fact that it's worth it."

"But even so, they still fought tooth and nail."

Gu Yun seemed to understand, and said.

"That's not true."

"In the end, Star Coins are just a resource, but experience may give you a chance to achieve peak combat power, and peak combat power indirectly means peak status. At that time, you can have as many Star Coins as you want."

"Just like you merchants, although you are incredibly wealthy in the Canglan Empire, you don't have the fighting power to make the royal family fear you. In the end, aren't you just like straws in the wind?"

"The auction of this insight can only be done by one person, and one person's strength is ultimately limited. If a major power obtains this insight, it may be possible to find or cultivate a suitable person, and this suitable person will undoubtedly improve this insight."

"In the end, this may become an eternal fighting force."

Shang Wenqing nodded, seemingly lost in thought.

"really."

"I was short-sighted in that respect; the amount of money was simply too large."

I smiled upon thinking about it.

"We've already allied ourselves with Gu Moshi, haven't we? You're the pinnacle of our Shang family's strength. If we're really in trouble, you can't abandon Shang family."

Gu Yun said calmly.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of any potential problems with the business before I leave."

"I can't stay in the lower realm forever, I think you understand that."

"It should be a surprise for you then, just don't be scared."

Shang Wenqing chuckled.

"No way, no way!"

"Don't worry, Demon Envoy Gu, I will only be happy, not surprised."

A slight smile appeared on Gu Yun's lips before he said nothing more and looked back at the auction stage.

The price has reached this point.

Actually, only three private rooms had their lights on.

respectively.

Box number 66.

Box number 99.

Box number 188.

These are all numbers that, after all, have special significance.

It also indirectly symbolizes nobility.

at last.

After the light in VIP room number 99 flickered once.

When the price tag displayed one million Star Coins, the numbers paused.

The entire auction house.

Silence fell.

They could even hear each other breathing.

Just like that, quietly.

All eyes were fixed on the staggering numbers displayed on the dashboard.

Such a huge amount of Star Coins.

How long does it take to accumulate power?

ten years?

Twenty years?

They don't know.

They just know.

This is something they will never be able to achieve in their lifetime.

"when--!"

"One million star coins per time."

The sound of the hammer and the host's voice broke the brief silence, his words exploding in people's ears like thunder.

"when--!"

Another hammer fell.

"One million star coins twice."

The male host shouted again, his eyes sweeping across the entire audience.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the entire venue was extremely tense, as if a fierce competition would break out at any moment.

"when--!"

The third hammer blow came down heavily.

"One million star coins three times."

The host's voice trembled slightly; perhaps he had never seen such a large sum of money before.

"when----!"

As the final hammer fell, the host shouted excitedly.

"Congratulations to Box 99 for successfully bidding on the Lei Di's Thoughts!"

For a while.

Exclamations and murmurs filled the air.

Gu Yun squinted and glanced at the 99th private room on the other side.

of course.

It's not just Gu Yun.

All eyes were now focused on VIP room number 99.

A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Five people.

Apart from the man at the seventh level of the Holy Body sitting on the sofa in the center and the two black-clad guards at the peak of the Holy Body standing at the door of the private room.

Gu Yun couldn't discern the strength of the man and woman standing on either side.

The man's face is covered by a mask.

The woman gently lifted her veil.

It's likely that some kind of magical artifact was used to block detection.

Surely they aren't two half-step innate beings or even pseudo-innate beings?

But at least four peak Saint Body levels.

I go.

What kind of terrorist force is this?

The next moment.

The private room was dimly lit.

Clearly, they are no longer planning to bid on the remaining items.

at this time.

Gu Yun seemed to understand why this important piece of news was placed first.

Originally.

They do have some ideas.

I was thinking of secretly copying a copy of Lei Di's experience.

See if there are any suitable people around you.

But at this moment he gave up.

Although he didn't know who the other party was, since the man sitting in the middle didn't conceal his identity, other upper-level forces must know about him.

This also means that the owner of box number 99 is...

very confident.

No one dared to challenge them.

No one dared to rob their auction items.

It's even possible.

They didn't come to Crimson Flame Star to participate in any Star Conference.

I came here because I heard some rumors about the Thunder Emperor's insights.

Their powerful allies were already waiting outside to meet them.

and so.

Gu Yun had no intention of getting involved in this mess.

My energy is limited.

and.

He is not invincible.

At least until they obtained the Heavenly Demon Emperor's will.

There are many beings in the lower realm that he cannot ignore.

especially.

After noticing that the lights in several private rooms had dimmed one after another shortly afterward.

Gu Yun became even more convinced of her idea.

"Alright, alright, everyone's gone, stop opening your mouth."

Ji Ning said in a trembling voice.

"Big brother, that's a million star coins!"

"Ten billion gold coins!!"

"I'll be good."

"What's the deal with VIP room number ninety-nine, Uncle Shang? You're very knowledgeable, do you know?"

Shang Wenqing shook his head violently, like a rattle-drum.

"I really don't know."

"Your Uncle Shang, or rather, Shang, is nothing more than a little Karami in the face of the real top forces in the human world."

"Ask Su Xiaoqian; as the third princess of the empire, she might know more."

however.

Noticing everyone's gaze, Su Xiaoqian quickly shrugged.

"Don't ask me, I'm a shut-in."
