Chapter 2110 - 2111: Not Enough Money to Spend
When Xia Xing saw a seed on the stage emitting powerful energy, Lin Chen's heart stirred."The seed of the Tree of All Spirits, this is truly a treasure," Fahr couldn't help but exclaim.
Lin Chen's gaze also turned to that seed.
If this seed were planted, it could bear Spirit Fruit, but this seed has not developed for ten thousand years, and it's uncertain whether it can sprout.
At this moment, Xiao Shuai spoke in his mind: "Master, planting the Tree of All Spirits is not a simple matter. It requires Spiritual Liquid for nourishment, and even if it can sprout, it will consume enormous time and money."
Lin Chen nodded: "Let it go, Xiao Shuai, I won't buy it."
But Xiao Shuai said, "Master, you misunderstood me. Actually, my suggestion is for you to buy it."
"What?" Lin Chen was taken aback by Xiao Shuai's words.
"You suggest I buy such an expensive Tree of All Spirits?" Lin Chen asked dumbfoundedly.
After all, this Tree of All Spirits consumes a lot of mental effort, and the money spent is like flowing water. What's more, even if it bears fruit, it could be a big trouble later on.
By this time, many people were already bidding on it, and the price of the Tree of All Spirits quickly soared to ten billion star coins.
Moreover, the price continued to rise rapidly. In no time, the Tree of All Spirits had reached thirty billion.
"This is crazy." Fahr shook his head.
So much money, he couldn't come up with it.
Lin Chen chuckled: "Actually, all these people are gambling, betting that this Tree of All Spirits can sprout. If it sprouts, the price of this Tree of All Spirits could double, or even reach a hundred billion."
By this time, the Tree of All Spirits had already been bid up to eighty billion.
Xiao Shuai laughed: "My suggestion for you to buy it is not to plant it, but to eat it."
"Xiao Shuai, you're not joking, are you? Nearly a hundred billion for something you suggest I eat? Does it have some effect?"
Xiao Shuai laughed: "The Mother of All Spirits gathers nature's spiritual energy, and the seed itself contains tremendous energy. After consuming it, your body will absorb the spiritual energy contained in the seed, making your physique even stronger. This way, you can unseal more of the seal."
Looking at that seed of the Tree of All Spirits on the stage, Lin Chen asked somewhat puzzledly.
"Xiao Shuai, is it really worth spending so much money on this thing?"
Xiao Shuai laughed: "Master, of course, it's worth it. Now a hundred billion is not a large sum for you. How long does it take your planet to earn a hundred billion in a year? And right now, you really need to enhance your physical strength—time is more important to you than anything else."
For the first time, Lin Chen placed a bid of ninety billion.
Upon hearing this price, many stopped bidding.
Then, someone offered ninety-one billion.
Just as Lin Chen was about to raise the bid to one hundred billion, someone else bid one hundred and one billion.
"Master, don't bid yet. That person is likely a shill. If you bid one hundred and ten billion, they'll surely raise the bid again."
Hearing this, Lin Chen's eyes slightly narrowed. So, it's a shill, huh?
This time, Lin Chen didn't continue to bid. Instead, he picked up a glass of wine and started chatting with Fahr.
"Lin Chen, you're so wealthy, you could even spare a hundred billion," Fahr exclaimed in shock.
Lin Chen smiled lightly: "My master asked me to buy it."
Seeing Lin Chen no longer placing bids, a middle-aged man in the crowd grew anxious.
"Damn it, why isn't this guy continuing to bid?"
Just as Xiao Shuai said, this person was indeed a shill.
Every time someone placed a bid, he would raise it by a billion, but this time Lin Chen didn't place another bid.
Damn, he's really not adding more money.
Lin Chen stopped bidding, making that guy anxious.
Fahr suddenly laughed: "I didn't expect that no one else would continue bidding for the seed of the Tree of All Spirits."
Lin Chen laughed: "Of course. If it can sprout, it's a treasure. If it can't, it's useless. Who's willing to spend so much money to take that risk?"
The auctioneer girl on stage asked: "Everyone, is there anyone willing to bid a higher price? Just a bit more and you could get the Spirit of All Trees!"
The auction staff were also very anxious—knowing this hundred and one billion bid was from their own person, if it didn't sell, they'd be stuck with it.
"Boss, don't hesitate, buy it already," Xiao Shuai urged.
Lin Chen asked: "Xiao Shuai, are you sure consuming this thing will actually work?"
"Yes, this thing will definitely have no problems. Consuming it can only be beneficial, not harmful to your body."
Lin Chen nodded: "Alright, I've decided, I'll buy it then."
Lin Chen then bid one hundred and two billion, and this time the other party didn't dare to raise the bid.
After nearly getting stuck with it, they didn't dare to raise the price again for fear of not being able to sell.
Thus, Lin Chen acquired the Tree of All Spirits.
Seeing Lin Chen so extravagant, many took notice of him.
Even Fahr had to exclaim: "Lin Chen, I didn't expect you to be the biggest buyer at the auction."
Lin Chen chuckled: "Most of these things are for my master's purposes, not just my personal needs."
Meanwhile, in a corner of the auction house, a man in black said to his companion: "Did you see that young guy? He seems very rich. If we rob him, the haul would be huge."
His companion rolled his eyes: "Are you stupid? That young guy has low skills. If he can afford to spend so lavishly, do you think he's here by himself? There's certainly a powerful backer behind him. If you want to die, go ahead, but don't drag me into it."
In the palace, several people had their sights set on Lin Chen, but they all feared the person behind him.
At this moment, Lin Chen was also somewhat concerned about his own safety.
"Xiao Shuai, do you think some fools might try to assault me?" Lin Chen asked worriedly.
Xiao Shuai smiled: "Don't worry, those with ability cherish their lives and won't dare to make a move on you. As for fools, you don't need to worry either; with your strength, you can definitely handle them." Lin Chen nodded.
The auction continued.
Then, suddenly, a staff appeared at the auction, capturing Lin Chen's attention.
This staff was a weapon, said to be crafted by a cosmic power. The weapon was made from ultra-alloy of the universe, and infused with the blood of several cosmic powers.
The expert was a strong healer with the ability to restore, meaning even if the weapon was damaged, it could automatically repair itself.
More importantly, this weapon could expand and contract in size.
It could become a towering pillar or even shrink to just a few centimeters.
Damn, isn't this the Jingu Bang?
Lin Chen even had a feeling that the expert could be a strongman from Earth.
Additionally, the staff was extremely powerful, and without hesitation, Lin Chen spent ten billion to purchase this Jingu Bang.
Subsequently, Lin Chen bought a batch of Heavenly Demon Tiger Blood, also for enhancing physique.
This tiger blood cost Lin Chen another billion.
There were so many treasures at the auction that Lin Chen couldn't help but lament that there wasn't enough money to go around!
