Chapter 591: Replica of the Eastern Emperor Bell

Watching the Star Pearl being auctioned off by Chen Jing at a high price, a hint of gravity appeared in the eyes of many people present.

Chen Jing's spending was too generous and too casual, which very likely meant that another big shark had entered the scene. Moreover, this big shark possessed immense financial resources, which would inevitably pose a huge threat when they reached the final contention.

Of course, among them, there were also many who had other thoughts. The Snow Spirit Pill was a rare pill to behold; that these few people could so easily bring out Snow Spirit Pills for bidding meant that they must still have many more in their possession. This made them start to consider whether they could obtain this precious pill from Chen Jing through means of exchange.

There were also some desperate outlaws who had already begun to contemplate how to make a move. They did not have enough resources to trade for pills from Chen Jing, so they could only use unconventional methods.

Regarding these gazes, Chen Jing herself was very indifferent. She believed that with Lingyun alone, those who wanted to play tricks in the dark would inevitably fail.

For the next eight auction items, Chen Jing had no intention of bidding at all, though others fought tooth and nail for them. Even the big shots sitting in the private boxes bid frequently, pocketing seven of them.

"Alright, now the auction only has the final grand finale item left. I believe the vast majority of you present are here for this very thing, right?" Army Breaker pressed his hands downward and said slowly.

Upon hearing these words, almost everyone present became excited. Clearly, their goal was the finale of this auction.

Army Breaker pressed his hand lightly on the platform in front of him, a gap opened on the platform, and a palm-sized Bell slowly rose up.

The moment this Bell appeared, everyone present felt a heavy aura emanating from it.

"This thing, I must get my hands on it, I must get my hands on it!" Hao Xuan stared at the Bell on the platform, his breathing becoming rapid.

Others might not know its value, but Hao Xuan, as the Third Young Master of the ancient Hao Family, had been fortunate enough to see the protective Magic Tool of their Hao Family ancestor. The pressure that Magic Tool gave him was not even one-tenth of this Bell.

"This Bell was discovered in an unnamed ruin. It possesses a powerful oppressive force on its own, and if activated with energy, it can unleash great might. After a joint appraisal by multiple experts, this Bell is highly likely to be a relic of a Nascent Soul master." Army Breaker looked at the Bell in front of him, his eyes equally burning with intensity.

Hearing Army Breaker's words, the crowd was in an uproar. Although they had been prepared, hearing Army Breaker say this now still made it hard to hide the shock in their hearts. A Nascent Soul master—that was a powerful existence that only existed in legends. Currently, the most powerful person in the entire Dark World was only a Half-step Nascent Soul, still a long way from the realm of a Nascent Soul master.

This Bell, suspected to be a relic of a Nascent Soul master, could very likely allow a Half-step Nascent Soul powerhouse to glimpse the realm of a Nascent Soul master. All factions knew that when someone from any faction ascended to the Nascent Soul realm, it would inevitably trigger a massive reshuffling of the Dark World.

"Lingyun, should we bid?" Chen Jing asked softly.

"This Bell is interesting. It seems the person who left this Bell behind was no ordinary person either." Lingyun stared at the Bell on the stage, his brows slightly raised.

"Could it be that this Bell has some incredible aspects?" Su Wanyue asked with some curiosity.

"Of course. This Bell is a replica of the ancient Sacred Gear, the Eastern Emperor Bell. Although it is an extremely inferior replica, it is definitely not something a mere Nascent Soul master could replicate," Lingyun transmitted his voice.

"The Eastern Emperor Bell?"

Chen Jing and Su Wanyue looked at each other, both with surprise in their eyes. After all, they could not possibly be unaware of such a famous existence as the Eastern Emperor Bell.

"Lingyun, do we need to..." Chen Jing made a gesture to Lingyun. Even if it was a replica, since it involved an ancient Sacred Gear, it was definitely not an ordinary object.

"No need. Although this Bell is only a replica of the Eastern Emperor Bell, the person who made the replica was clearly no ordinary person either. With the current abilities of these people, they are still a long way from cracking the secrets within!" Lingyun shook his head.

"The Mysterious Bell, starting bid, twenty Origin Qi Pills." Army Breaker said loudly.

"Origin Qi Pills? It's actually starting with Origin Qi Pills?" Hearing Army Breaker's words, everyone present was in an uproar.

Origin Qi Pills were top-tier Origin Qi Pills that had a certain probability of appearing when refining Origin Qi Pills. Such Origin Qi Pills could even replenish the True Qi of a Half-step Nascent Soul powerhouse in a short time. Compared to the Snow Spirit Pill, its price was even a notch higher.

"Origin Qi Pills... once this kind of pill appears, it clears the vast majority of factions out of this competition, right?" An old man with white hair looked at the Bell on the stage and said with a helpless expression.

"Twenty-one Origin Qi Pills!" Hao Xuan said without hesitation.

He finally understood why the Clan Master had asked him to bring a large amount of Origin Qi Pills when he left; it turned out it was for this Bell. However, if he could really win this Bell, it would be worth it even if he took out all the Origin Qi Pills he had on him this time.

Hao Xuan's bid was just the beginning; others were not to be outdone and began to raise the price.

"Twenty-two Origin Qi Pills."

"Twenty-three Origin Qi Pills."

"Twenty-four Origin Qi Pills."

"Twenty-five Origin Qi Pills."

This time, there was no crazy price hiking, as Origin Qi Pills were not common goods, but rather precious pills that only had a chance to appear when refining Origin Qi Pills.

"Lingyun, who do you think will be able to pocket this Bell this time?" Watching the price of the Bell rise to thirty Origin Qi Pills, Chen Jing asked with some curiosity.

"Dragon Group, Holy See, Dark Council, S. H. I. E. L. D., and the Hao Family. If nothing goes wrong, the final winner should be among these few. Now it just depends on which family is well-prepared and which family is willing to bleed for it," Lingyun shrugged and said.

"The Hao Family can actually be a candidate for the winner? Isn't that a bit exaggerated?" Su Wanyue asked in disbelief.

"Judging from the current situation, they really do have the ability to compete with these factions," Chen Jing said, watching Hao Xuan continue to bid.

The only ones still competing for this Bell were the five factions: the Holy See, the Dark Council, the Dragon Group, S. H. I. E. L. D., and the Hao Family; others had already been forced to withdraw from the contention.

"The Hao Family really does have deep strength." Watching Hao Xuan, who had not missed a single bid so far, Chen Jing's tone was somewhat grave.

"Fifty Origin Qi Pills!"

Just at this moment, Hao Xuan suddenly shouted a high price, raising the number of Origin Qi Pills by ten in one go, instantly stunning the other factions.
