Chapter 368: The Auction Officially Begins!

Adam's Treasured Tree,

is one of the few toughest trees in the entire world,

no matter how brutal the war it endures,

it can stand tall and unyielding!

Parts of this tree's branches and trunks are worth a fortune on the black market,

at least hundreds of millions of Beli,

and it is the kind that has a market price but is truly priceless!

For most people,

the greatest value of Adam's Treasured Tree lies in shipbuilding!

The wood of this tree is the finest material for building ships!

Li Xiao naturally had no intention of crafting a vessel,

but in the unfinished modifications of the Ark's Proverbs,

some special materials required for arranging certain special Formations

could be substituted with Adam's Treasured Tree!

Therefore,

since it was on the way,

Li Xiao did not object to staying an extra half-day in the Sabaody Archipelago

to secure the Adam's Treasured Tree at the auction!

As for the astronomical amount of Beli needed to bid on Adam's Treasured Tree,

for Li Xiao,

it was simply no issue at all!

Although previously in the East Blue,

the vast amount of Qian Cai generously sponsored by Captain Usopp had already been almost entirely consumed!

but before Li Xiao left the Sky Island,

he had specifically taken away quite a bit of gold from Apaido,

which was more than enough to bid on Adam's Treasured Tree!

After all,

the Adam's Treasured Tree at the auction was merely a part of the true Adam's Treasured Tree,

who would carry an entire tree over to sell!

Not to mention whether the auction hall could even fit it,

a portion of Adam's Treasured Tree's wood already started at an astronomical price of hundreds of millions of Beli,

if it were a whole Adam's Treasured Tree,

whether anyone could afford it was another matter entirely!

After the meal,

Li Xiao left the payment for the food and then turned to leave the restaurant,

paying no heed to the chef old man behind him who let out a long sigh of relief,

heading straight for Island No. 1 within the Sabaody Archipelago!

As mentioned earlier,

the Sabaody Archipelago is composed of the roots of the Girasol Mangrove trees exposed above the water surface,

the entire island consists of 79 trees,

each tree has towns and facilities upon it,

which means,

each tree is a small island!

And these 79 small islands combined together,

form what people call the Sabaody Archipelago!

In the Sabaody Archipelago,

every island's tree is engraved with a number,
