Chapter 417: Bidding Higher
When collecting fruits of natural treasures, could you slow down their fall so you could grab them before they hit the ground? No problem.
In battle, when the opponent already knew your bloodline ability, you suddenly displayed the time control of a second-tier bloodline. How many times would the opponent die before they even realized it?
With the Bloodline Array Disc’s first appearance, it was destined to make a dazzling debut. The Aetherhorn Merchant Association recognized this and didn't hesitate to offer the Chrono Croc blood to the Array Master, hoping for the debut of this disc.
The auctioneer didn’t mention the origin of this array disc but simply said the Aetherhorn Merchant Association provided it. So, through the auction of this disc, how much would the Aetherhorn Merchant Association’s influence in high society increase? Moreover, it had the Stone of Shelter and the Sunborne Flower to increase anticipation before its launch! This series of maneuvers even made Tang San feel a sense of admiration for the Aetherhorn Merchant Association. He couldn’t imagine how they managed such an impressive arrangement just to launch that array disc. As far as he knew, the Aetherhorn Merchant Association didn’t have the support of any emperors, only the Peacock Demon Clan.
"Eight thousand!" As Tang San was thinking to himself that things were going quite well, the bidding price had already risen to eight thousand naturae coins.
Eight thousand naturae coins—in previous auctions, ordinary divine artifacts had reached this price.
Rarity is value, especially with an item that grants time control abilities.
Could it exceed ten thousand?
The answer was yes!
In less than five minutes, the price of the Chrono Array Disc had already broken through ten thousand naturae coins.
Zhang Haoxuan’s voice trembled as it came through.
—You’ve struck it rich, Little Tang, you’re rich now!
"Master, stay calm. This is a one-off," said Tang San. When he created the Chrono Array Disc, he had already decided it would be unique. Only a unique item holds the greatest value. Moreover, he needed the remaining Chrono Croc blood for Gu Li’s purification and cultivation.
Of course, if the Aetherhorn Merchant Association could provide him with god-level Chrono Croc blood, that would be a different story. But creating a god-level Chrono Croc Array Disc would have to wait until he reaches godhood. Right now, that was still far off.
For this ninth-order Chrono Croc Array disc, Tang San even used a bit of his divine consciousness. Without it, he couldn’t complete some critical array integrations. Despite its small size, the disc actually contained thirty-six arrays. Only by fully integrating these arrays did it achieve its current effect. Among them, nine arrays were just for preventing the core from being decrypted. Any probing attempt would trigger self-destruction.
The price kept rising, reaching a point that could only be described as stupefying.
Could such an array disc be worth this much? Thinking back to fighting life-and-death battles in the Great Beast Fighting Arena in Kali City, each match only earned them a few dozen naturae coins! It seemed money was easier to make in the Ancestral Court.
But then again, the fees for climbing the Sacred Mountains of the emperors were collected daily, and they were flush with cash. For the truly great aristocrats, tens of thousands of naturae coins were nothing.
When the value reached thirty thousand naturae coins, it finally paused.
"Thirty-one thousand naturae coins!" When this bid appeared, the entire hall fell silent.
The bidder was Xu Ziran from Room 116.
"The price is too high, Young Master. No one’s responding," the elderly man said, with sweat faintly appearing on his forehead.
Xu Ziran, however, remained calm, smiling as if he wasn’t in any rush.
"Thirty-one thousand naturae coins once, thirty-one thousand naturae coins twice, is there any higher bid? Remember, this is an absolutely unique item! Alright, thirty-one thousand naturae coins three ti—" Just as the Blue Fox clan auctioneer reached this point, suddenly, another light flashed.
"Thirty-two thousand naturae coins! Alright, Room 119 offers thirty-two thousand naturae coins!"
Xu Ziran grinned, and the elderly man beside him looked relieved. Finally, someone else had bid.
"Thirty-three thousand naturae coins." Immediately, someone else bid again, this time from Room 221.
Xu Ziran’s smile deepened, "Let them fight for it. We’ll just watch. This price is good enough. It’ll hurt them for a while."
The elderly man whispered, "If it falls into the hands of the Skyway Merchant Association, will there be any trouble?"
Xu Ziran replied, "They’ll speculate for sure, but only we and my father know the true origin of the disc. As long as we offer the array master enough benefits and bind him firmly to our cause, we don’t need to worry about anything else. With such significant earnings from this, don’t you think he’ll appreciate our sincerity? When we return, prepare ten types of blood, at least third-tier or higher. Send them to the master. This is our research funding for him. For future bloodline array discs, we’ll split the profits seventy-thirty. We only need thirty percent."
