The Indomitable Master of Elixirs Chapter 245 - The Tree of Flowing Bloodshed (2)

Money not accepted? Only precious treasures!

The bidding procedure for the Tree of the Flowing Bloodshed was truly unheard of.

In that moment, this strange auction method caused the expressions on several confident local tyc.o.o.ns to get all scrunched up. Apart from those who came to auction off their own wares, who would bring treasures here? All they had on them were premium gold cards with high credit limits.

The crowd’s excitement turned into anxiety. Knowing the value of the Tree of the Flowing Bloodshed, who would be willing to let go off this rare opportunity?

Seeing the perturbed state of the congregation, the auctioneer smiled. “Don’t worry, the treasures put up need not be presented on the spot. Proceed with the auction, as to the promised treasures, you just need to deliver them by tomorrow morning. The moment we receive and authenticate the treasures, you can immediately bring back the Tree of the Flowing Bloodshed.”

At this, the mood of the ma.s.ses eased by a bit, but soon after, they once again entered a state of frenzied compet.i.tive bidding.

Looking at the branch of the Tree of the Flowing Bloodshed, Linghe was truly amazed. As a veteran front-line soldier in the battle against the Demon Clan, there was no one who knew better than Linghe the horrors of the Demon Clan—and the existence of the Tree of the Flowing Bloodshed was one of the main reasons.

“I really can’t imagine, so long after the disappearance of the Divine Swordsman, this auction could actually acquire something like that.” Linghe was full of emotions as he turned toward Ji Fengyan—but was shocked by her.

At this very instant, Ji Fengyan’s sparkling eyes were fixed onto the branch of the Tree of the Flowing Bloodshed—her gaze full of excitement and yearning. Her obvious interest was clear as the sky even to someone as oblivious as Linghe!

“Mistress, are you interested in this?” Linghe asked in puzzlement.

Ji Fengyan nodded without a word.

Long before the Tree of the Flowing Bloodshed was presented, Ji Fengyan had already felt a strong aura of spiritual energy shrouding the entire auction hall. The moment the red cloth was pulled aside, the source of all that energy was unveiled right before Ji Fengyan’s eyes!

Ji Fengyan had never ever seen something so full of spiritual energy. Compared to the Tree of the Flowing Bloodshed, the energy emitted by the other items she had bid on earlier was not enough to even fill a crack!

Even harder for Ji Fengyan to imagine was this auction hall only held a mere branch of the Tree of the Flowing Bloodshed – not even one percent of the entire tree. Nevertheless, the amount of spiritual energy radiated was the strongest Ji Fengyan had ever experienced.

One could only imagine the sheer volume of spiritual energy emitted by the whole Tree of the Flowing Bloodshed would be of mind-blowing proportions!

“Brother Linghe, I definitely want this!” This was the first time Ji Fengyan had expressed such a fervent desire.

Ji Fengyan’s words caused Linghe to nearly spurt out a mouthful of blood!

“Mistress, you… you want this? But… we don’t have anything…” With resolution, Linghe carefully reminded Ji Fengyan of their cruel reality.

Ji Fengyan was momentarily startled. “Do we not have enough money?”

Linghe’s chest constricted painfully.

“Miss, did you not hear what the auctioneer was saying earlier?”

Ji Fengyan shook her head as a matter of course. Her attention had been completely taken over by the Tree of the Flowing Bloodshed. After knowing the origins of this item, she had completely disregarded the rest of the auctioneer’s words.
