Chapter 3788: Auctioning the Hongmeng Fruit, Playing Hongmeng Like a Monkey

When they saw this Hongmeng Fruit, cultivators from all factions present revealed expressions of shock.

"It's actually the Hongmeng Fruit! The Myriad Worlds Chamber of Commerce is actually willing to put such a treasure up for auction!"

The gazes of the many people present were all fixed dead on that purple, lustrous fruit.

Swirling with purple mist and divine radiance, it contained profound runes and rules.

It seemed less like a fruit and more like a condensation of rules and order.

"The Hongmeng Fruit is the fruit borne on the Hongmeng Tree, condensed with Hongmeng essence and rules."

"The Hongmeng Tree is nearly extinct in the vast starry sky; rumors say the Ziyu Family might still have one, but no one knows if it's true or false."

As some people spoke, their gazes looked toward a seating area.

It was precisely where the Ziyu Family's group was located.

The Ziyu Family's ancestors were possessors of the Hongmeng Dao Body.

They were also the most familiar with the power of Hongmeng.

There had long been rumors that the Ziyu Family still had a Hongmeng Tree.

However, no one had truly confirmed it.

At this moment, seeing the Hongmeng Fruit appear.

The people of the Ziyu Family all had flickering gazes, determined to obtain it.

Ziyu Youying was also among the seats, wearing a gorgeous purple long dress, her figure tall and slender, her purple hair soft and smooth.

Her exquisite face shone with a lustrous glow, pretty and beautiful like jade.

Her temperament was cold, alluring, and noble, possessing a stunning beauty.

Although Ziyu Youying had already become the Holy Maiden of the Nishang Clan, this time she still came along with her family.

"Youying, if you obtain this Hongmeng Fruit, your strength will surely advance greatly, allowing you to take a further step toward the Hongmeng Dao Body."

"And if you can comprehend the essential rules within, borrowing the Hongmeng Fruit's remaining energy, perhaps you could also prolong the life of that Hongmeng Tree."

Beside Ziyu Youying, a direct-line elder of the Ziyu Family spoke in a low voice.

Ziyu Youying nodded slightly.

Actually, the outside rumors were not wrong; their Ziyu Family did indeed have a Hongmeng Tree.

It was passed down from their ancestors' Hongmeng Dao Body.

But that Hongmeng Tree had developed a problem and was gradually withering.

No matter what treasures and methods they used to nurture it, all were useless.

This was a knot in the Ziyu Family's heart.

After all, their Ziyu Family inherited the Hongmeng bloodline.

In many situations, they needed to borrow the Hongmeng Tree to cultivate.

If the Hongmeng Tree thoroughly withered and died, the loss would indeed be too great for the Ziyu Family.

It would even cause huge damage to the clan's fortune.

And they believed that unless a true Hongmeng Dao Body appeared, perhaps it could produce some connection and resonance with the Hongmeng Tree to revive it.

It was precisely for this reason that Ziyu Youying became the Ziyu Family's hope.

And this Hongmeng Fruit was naturally something they were determined to obtain.

Not only the Ziyu Family, but the rest of the people present were also eyeing it covetously.

Although not everyone cultivated the power of Hongmeng, if one could refine the Hongmeng Fruit, the benefits were obviously immense.

So the big shots of various factions were also moved, eager to try.

"It finally appeared."

At a remote seat, Hongmeng saw this, and a sharp glint also flashed in his eyes.

For this Hongmeng Fruit, he had previously relied on his luck to scavenge quite a few opportunities.

He was confident his foundation would absolutely not be weaker than some factions.

And the only one worth being wary of...

Hongmeng's gaze looked toward the VIP private box.

Inside the VIP private box.

Jun Xiaoyao saw this Hongmeng Fruit, but his expression was calm.

He had not much interest in this Hongmeng Fruit.

In his inner universe, there was already a Hongmeng Tree.

Although it had not yet fully matured and borne fruit, Jun Xiaoyao was not anxious.

He understood what Hongmeng's purpose in coming here was.

Since that was the case, he should give him a taste of his own medicine.

Next, the Hongmeng Fruit began to be auctioned.

The intensity of the competition naturally far surpassed that of the previous Source Pattern Jade Bi.

If one could obtain a wisp of Hongmeng power through this, it would be a huge profit.

And amid this bidding.

The most determined to obtain it was naturally the Ziyu Family.

Although the Ziyu Family is not one of the Ten Tyrant Clans, in the vast starry sky they also have a resounding reputation.

Seeing the Ziyu Family's such determined-to-obtain attitude.

Some other factions also had some scruples.

Some factions' financial resources could not compare to the Ziyu Family.

Some other forces, fearing to offend the Purple Palace Clan, also gave up.

As for some other hegemonic clans.

Although the Grandmist Fruit was precious, it was also not something that had to be obtained at all costs.

So as time passed, the number of bidders grew fewer and fewer.

Seeing that victory seemed already in hand.

The people of the Purple Palace Clan also revealed smiles on their faces.

On Purple Palace Youying's fair and absolutely beautiful countenance, a smile also surfaced.

However, right at this moment.

Someone bid again, and moreover, the price was a whole notch higher than the Purple Palace Clan's price.

"Hm?"

The Purple Palace Clan's people frowned and looked toward the source of the sound.

Purple Palace Youying also took a look, and then her beautiful eyes suddenly froze.

"It's him!"

Purple Palace Youying bit her silver teeth lightly, looking at that purple-gold masked man.

It's him again!

"Youying, you know him?" A Purple Palace Clan elder frowned and said.

"When Youying previously attended the Wind and Splendor Banquet, this person once made a move targeting me." Purple Palace Youying said coldly.

At that time, if not for Jun Xiaoyao making a move to help, her situation would probably not have been too good.

Purple Palace Youying also did not expect that she would actually encounter that masked person again here.

And immediately after, the Purple Palace Clan bid again.

Hongmeng likewise bid again.

"Eh, who is that masked person, to actually dare to challenge the Purple Palace Clan head-on?"

"To make a move so generously, his origins should also be not ordinary, just that he doesn't want to show his true face."

"This person seems to have appeared at the Wind and Splendor Banquet some time ago……"

This situation was also noticed by everyone.

Under this kind of bidding war, even the Purple Palace Clan's people had faces turning cold one by one.

If not for the auction rules stipulating fair competition and forbidding threats against any bidder.

They would all want to directly interrogate who that masked person really was.

"Heh…… you want to obtain the Grandmist Fruit, keep dreaming."

Beneath the mask, Hongmeng's complexion was also incomparably grim and cold.

Seeing the clan's direct line that had once ruthlessly expelled him, he wished he could directly make a move and exterminate them all.

But now was not the time yet.

But at the very least he could disgust them a bit.

It having reached this situation, even the Purple Palace Clan hesitated.

If they continued bidding, to tell the truth, they would all feel the pinch.

But they did not know clearly whether that masked person would continue raising the price.

Purple Palace Youying's complexion was even more extremely cold, slightly clutching her jade fist.

Hongmeng let out a cold laugh.

Just when he felt the Grandmist Fruit was about to land in his hands.

"The Grandmist Fruit, a bit interesting."

A faint, casual voice rang out.

It was precisely Jun Xiaoyao!

Jun Xiaoyao had someone place a bid.

Seeing this, the whole venue was stunned for a moment.

Is this tycoon flexing again?

Jun Xiaoyao's bid was naturally generous.

Hongmeng's complexion instantly sank cold.

"Jun Xiaoyao……"

His teeth were even ground until they made a faint creaking sound.

Is this Jun Xiaoyao born to clash with him?

Obstructing him once, twice, three times.

Hongmeng gritted his teeth and continued bidding.

However Jun Xiaoyao was very casual, still raising the price.

Later on.

Hongmeng's face skin even twitched slightly.

He directly said he had a special treasure and wanted to exchange it with the Myriad Worlds Chamber of Commerce for the Grandmist Fruit.

And the Myriad Worlds Chamber of Commerce, after appraisal, was also somewhat amazed, not expecting this mysterious masked person to even have this kind of treasure.

Then it was Jun Xiaoyao's turn again.

"Jun Xiaoyao, what other capital can you produce, do you really want to keep competing with me all the way!"

The current Hongmeng seemed like a gambler with bloodshot eyes, thinking about how Jun Xiaoyao would gamble against him.

Unless one produces even more precious treasures.

However, Jun Xiaoyao's next words instantly broke Hongmeng's guard.

"Since you are this persistent, I'll let you have it."

A single light, airy sentence left Hongmeng's mind reeling.

Intentional!

Jun Xiaoyao never truly intended to bid for the Hongmeng Fruit.

He was deliberately playing him for a fool!
