Chapter 1806 One-Of-A-Kind Material(2)

Chapter 1806  One-Of-A-Kind Material(2)

Nearly a month had passed since Feng Yuxiang had opened her store. During this time, tens of thousands of experts, including many from the upper heavens, had visited to marvel at the treasures on display. Yet, only a select few dared to make an offer for the one-of-a-kind material. The reason was simple: the price had soared to a staggering 75 billion spirit stones.

This astronomical sum could easily buy an entire Celestial-grade treasure—or even two—making it seem almost absurd for a single piece of material. However, its unparalleled rarity and enigmatic origins made it a prized target for collectors, who were willing to pay a premium for the chance to own it.

When Yuan heard about the offers, he was elated. In his eyes, the material wasn't worth more than ten billion spirit stones at most. Yet, to his astonishment, it had fetched over seven times that amount.

In the end, the material was sold for a staggering 81 billion spirit stones, and the one who won the bid was the old man from Steel Sovereigns.

"Congratulations, the owner of the material has agreed to sell it to you," Feng Yuxiang announced with a graceful smile after receiving Yuan's approval.

The old man's face lit up with elation, knowing he had secured the prized material. Yet, beneath his joy, a twinge of pain lingered in his heart as he handed over the spirit stones. He was fully aware that he had overpaid, but to him, the material's rarity and potential were worth the sacrifice. With a deep breath, he accepted the bittersweet victory.

Feng Yuxiang handed the material to the old man after confirming the payment.

"Oh! Finally! I've been dreaming of this moment since I first laid eyes on it!" the old man muttered, his voice quivering with emotion. His hands trembled as he held the material, running his fingers over its surface, savoring the texture as if trying to etch every sensation into memory. "I'm glad to see you're pleased with your purchase," Feng Yuxiang said with a warm smile. Then, her voice took on a more commanding tone as she added, "Now, I have another announcement…"

Her words immediately captured the attention of everyone in the store. The shop was packed tighter than ever, bustling with onlookers eager to witness the winner of the auction. Many hoped for just a closer glimpse of the material, and a few even harbored dreams of touching it. The crowd fell silent, their anticipation palpable as they waited to hear what Feng Yuxiang would reveal next.

Then, to the utter shock and disbelief of everyone present, Feng Yuxiang calmly reached into her spatial ring and retrieved another piece of material, its mysterious aura captivating the room instantly.

"The owner of the previous material," she began with a cunning smile, "has decided to sell yet another one-of-a-kind treasure!"

"What?! There's another one?!"

The crowd erupted into a frenzy, their astonishment visible. Murmurs of disbelief rippled through the store as countless pairs of eyes locked onto the new material.

The old man who'd just purchased the last material stood in place with a look of bewilderment on his face.

"Another…one?" he mumbled.

Feng Yuxiang nodded and said, "Yes, this material was found alongside the last one. For this material, we'll start the offer at 70 billion spirit stones."

After putting the material into the display case, Feng Yuxiang stepped back to allow the crowd to examine it more closely.

"Although the material is entirely different, it has the same chaotic energy, so it was definitely found within the same place."

"The energy it's emitting is even stronger than the last one!"

After closely examining the new material, the old man from Steel Sovereign clenched his jaw, his expression a mixture of frustration and resolve. Without a word, he turned and walked out of the store, his steps heavy yet purposeful. It was clear to everyone watching that this wasn't the last they'd see of him. With an entire month before the material was set to be sold, it was only a matter of time before he returned.

Over the next two weeks, the bidding war for the second material intensified, with offers steadily climbing. By the end of the third week, the price had reached an astonishing 80 billion spirit stones, nearly matching the record-breaking sum fetched by the previous material. At the start of the final week, the old man from the Steel Sovereigns returned, this time accompanied by a strikingly handsome young man whose presence commanded attention.

The young man approached the material with a calm yet intense demeanor, his sharp eyes scrutinizing every inch of its mysterious surface. For three days, he examined it without pause, unmoving as if in a trance. Finally, on the fourth day, he broke his silence.

"I'll offer 95 billion spirit stones for this material," he declared, his voice steady and filled with conviction.

The moment those words left his lips, a wave of astonished gasps swept through the store.

"Heavens! Nearly 100 billion spirit stones for a single material!"

"If this material were sold in the Ninth Heaven, it'd probably fetch for far more."

Most of the astonished reactions came from individuals of the Sixth Heaven, for whom such an astronomical price was nearly unfathomable. On the other hand, those from the upper heavens remained relatively composed. They had witnessed treasures sold for even greater sums in their realms and regarded the 95 billion spirit stone offer as impressive but not unprecedented.

"Who is that young man, anyway?"

"He's the Steel Sovereigns' leader's son. He's probably buying that material for his father, who is currently collecting rare treasures for his life-long masterpiece."

In the end, the young man won the material for 95 billion spirit stones.

After selling the material, Feng Yuxiang closed the shop and returned to the Heavenly Beast Sect with Xi Meili.

"Young Master, guess how much money we've earned!" Feng Yuxiang approached him with a prideful smile.

"200 billion spirit stones?" he guessed.

"Close! We earned a grand total of 207 billion spirit stones!" she declared.
