"Seven eight-colored Tier 8 pills!"
When this price was announced, ninety percent of the people on the field already gave up on competing.
The Wind and Thunder Fury Flame was very good; no one could deny that. But normally speaking, the price was pretty much maxed out here.
To be honest, for a Heavenly Flame ranked eighteenth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking, its boost to an individual's strength at the Dou Zun realm was already quite limited.
More than anything, it was alchemists who truly needed a Heavenly Flame. Therefore, when someone called out the price of seven eight-colored Pill Lightning Tier 8 pills, naturally very few people would bid against them anymore.
After all, the Wind and Thunder Fury Flame's ranking on the Heavenly Flame Ranking didn't even make it into the top fifteen, let alone the top ten!
Thus, its value naturally wouldn't be absurdly high.
This price was already considered a small premium.
"Are there any other friends willing to offer a higher price?"
After three consecutive minutes of no bids, Old Man Bao Shan finally spoke up.
This price was actually already in line with the expectations that their three hidden sects had set beforehand. However, if it could be auctioned off for a little more, he would naturally be happy.
It was just that no one was a fool; nobody would mindlessly bid just because they saw a Heavenly Flame. Therefore, after Old Man Bao Shan's voice fell, another minute passed, and still no one spoke.
Seeing this, the smile on the face of that Dou Zun expert who bid seven eight-colored Tier 8 pills could no longer be contained.
He was an alchemist, a Tier 7 alchemist. For a long time, he had wanted to find a Heavenly Flame to refine so that he could raise his alchemist rank. However, for so many years, he had never been able to achieve this.
Today, it was not easy to see a Heavenly Flame at the Spatial Trade Fair, so how could he be willing to give it up?
"I am finally going to possess a Heavenly Flame!"
This Tier 7 alchemist Dou Zun expert thought to himself with incomparable excitement. At this moment, he felt as if he could already see himself becoming a Tier 8 alchemist!
"Alright, then this Wind and Thunder Fury Flame belongs to..."
"Wait a moment!"
Just as Old Man Bao Shan was about to announce the ownership of the Wind and Thunder Fury Flame, a voice suddenly rang out, interrupting his words.
However, Old Man Bao Shan had no intention of getting angry. Instead, he looked toward the person who spoke. At the same time, Xiao Lin also abruptly turned his head to look beside him.
The one who spoke was impressively Ji Li!
Of course, it wasn't just Xiao Lin. The rest of the people at this moment also cast their gazes onto Ji Li one after another.
"This friend, do you wish to continue bidding?"
Old Man Bao Shan asked with narrowed eyes.
He had an impression of this person!
It seemed that he was together with the formation master beside him who could take out several high-grade formation plates. Moreover, the other party had already bid for and won clues and treasure maps related to Heavenly Flames several times!
Now that the item being auctioned was a Heavenly Flame, he had actually felt it was strange that the other party didn't participate in the bidding earlier.
Looking at it now, the other party clearly wanted to deliver a decisive blow and directly take down the Wind and Thunder Fury Flame!
It was just that he didn't know what kind of price the other party would offer?
After all, for the other party to stop him from announcing the ownership of the Wind and Thunder Fury Flame at this moment, they clearly were not planning to use medicinal pills to bid.
Otherwise, wouldn't it have been enough to just bid directly?
As someone who had been an auctioneer for the Spatial Trade Fair for so many years, Old Man Bao Shan still possessed this bit of vision and judgment.
"Yes, I want to continue bidding. However, I don't have that many high-tier pills left, so I want to use other things as collateral. I wonder if that is acceptable?"
Ji Li asked with a calm expression.
"This is naturally not a problem! However, the item that Your Excellency wants to use as collateral must first go through my appraisal before its final value can be determined!"
Old Man Bao Shan spoke slowly.
This scene always happened at past Spatial Trade Fairs.
Therefore, whether it was Old Man Bao Shan or the other Dou Zun experts around, they were not surprised by this. However, they were extremely curious about the item Ji Li was going to use as collateral!
After all, someone had already bid seven eight-colored Pill Lightning Tier 8 pills by now. Everyone was truly curious about how the item Ji Li wanted to use as collateral could surpass this price.
Among them, Xiao Lin was the most curious.
"Brother Ji Li, you..."
Xiao Lin's gaze was somewhat complicated.
This guy was just calling him wealthy moments ago, but who would have thought he was even wealthier!
Now he was actually bidding for the Wind and Thunder Fury Flame!
"Heh, Brother Lin, don't look at me with that kind of expression. I am determined to get this Wind and Thunder Fury Flame, just like how you absolutely had to take down that tendon of the Dou Sheng cultivation tiger-type magic beast earlier!"
Ji Li spoke with a smile on his face.
At the same time, he had already pulled out an object from his storage ring. It was a yellowed, ancient parchment paper. Looking at it, it had absolutely gone through the settling of thousands of years!
"Swoosh"
After pulling out this ancient parchment paper and caressing it for a moment, Ji Li flicked it toward Old Man Bao Shan. This was to let Old Man Bao Shan appraise the treasure first to determine its value.
"Snap"
After catching the parchment paper, Old Man Bao Shan didn't hesitate either and directly unfolded it to begin his appraisal.
However, when he first started the appraisal, Old Man Bao Shan was frowning.
Very obviously, he didn't see anything special about this parchment paper at the very first moment. There was no energy fluctuation on it, so it clearly couldn't be a Cultivation Technique or Dou Technique.
Moreover, based on his experience in appraising treasures, this parchment paper was also incomplete!
In other words, this was a Map Fragment!
At this moment, Old Man Bao Shan became even more curious.
Just what kind of person had this kind of confidence, actually daring to bring out a mere Map Fragment and believing that its value surpassed seven eight-colored Tier 8 pills?
At this time, Old Man Bao Shan still thought that Ji Li wanted to use this Map Fragment to cover a portion of the money for bidding on the Wind and Thunder Fury Flame, and then use other medicinal pills to make up the difference.
However, along with his observation, gradually, Old Man Bao Shan discovered something amiss. A portion of the patterns drawn on this Map Fragment parchment paper seemed to be very similar to a certain legendary item!
No, it couldn't be said to be similar; it was simply identical!
"This, this is..."
After realizing what this object might be, a stormy wave instantly surged within Old Man Bao Shan's heart.
This inner shock was also expressed on his face.
For the first time in this Spatial Trade Fair, a wave of such massive fluctuation appeared on Old Man Bao Shan's expression!
The change in Old Man Bao Shan's expression naturally fell into the eyes of everyone on the field.
"Just what is that thing? Why would Old Man Bao Shan be shocked to that extent?"
"Who knows!"
"However, what is certain is that it must be something extraordinary!"
"I think so too!"
"It really makes one's heart itch with anticipation!"
At this moment, everyone was curious about what kind of thing Old Man Bao Shan had actually appraised from that parchment paper.
"Hoo~"
Finally, Old Man Bao Shan, who had finished appraising the treasure, also took a deep breath.
"If my guess is correct, this should be one-fourth of a Map Fragment that records the position of the legendary Heavenly Flame ranked third on the Heavenly Flame Ranking, the Purifying Lotus Demonic Flame!"
"Its value is at least equal to one nine-colored Tier 8 pill! This friend, are you sure you want to trade with this Purifying Lotus Demonic Flame Map Fragment?"
Old Man Bao Shan's clear voice also spread through the entire field at this moment.
Along with Old Man Bao Shan's voice falling, instantly, the entire field became dead silent!
The sound of many people's breathing could be clearly heard.
It could be said that no one expected the yellowed parchment paper Ji Li pulled out would actually be a Map Fragment recording the location of the legendary Purifying Lotus Demonic Flame ranked third on the Heavenly Flame Ranking!
At this moment, even Xiao Lin couldn't help but widen his eyes, looking toward the calm-faced Ji Li beside him.
