Chapter 342 Ch 342: Kautus Monnot
Alex looked at the information of Red Source Crystals. It has almost the same information as the Green Source Crystal.
[Name: Red Source Crystals!
Details: Source Crystals are the crystallization of the Source Energy of the world itself. Source Crystals contain a large amount of Source Energy of the World that could instantly boost a martial warrior's cultivation to a new height without damaging the foundation. It could also help a person awaken their dormant bloodlines and special physique. It could also evolve the level of one's bloodlines and special physique. Not only that, but it could also boost a person's perceptual and comprehensive ability to an entirely new level. Absorbing Source Crystal can strengthen a martial warrior's soul and spirit as well.]
Most importantly, there were actually a total of five Red Source Crystals for auction.
Without any hesitation, the first thing Alex did was replicate these five Red Source Crystals.
Fortunately, the replication did not fail. And even if it had failed, Alex was determined to win the bid for these crystals. In the future, he could have easily replicated them when his soul force grows stronger.
[Replication Successful! Congratulations to the Originator for successfully replicating five Red Source Crystals.]
And just like that, five Red Source Crystals entered his personal space.
Now, he was ready to win the bid for these crystals. To do that, he needed to have a lot of money. Without any hesitation, Alex looked around and started replicating Celestial Stones from the people present in the auction house, and in less than one minute, he already replicated more than ten billion Top Grade Celestial Stones.
Although Serena was observing Alex all this while, she failed to notice Alex replicating Celestial Stones.
Maybe, she could only sense Alex was spying on her using a secret method because of her "mysteries", but she could not notice or sense anything else.
"Maybe, a lot of you might not know what these crystals are. In fact, even though we don't have any idea what these crystals are, however, after appraising them for a few days, we got to know that they can help us cultivators in many ways. Absorbing and refining these crystals can increase our cultivation base and increase our strength by a large margin in the shortest period of time without damaging our foundation. They can also help us awaken our dormant bloodline or special physiques. With these crystals' help, we can also get rid of the evil and berserk energy from our bodies. In fact, there are many such uses."
"These crystals were found by a group of people who dared to enter the Valley of Death to explore an ancient ruin of the Primordial Era. That group consisted of 15 people but only three people managed to return alive. You can estimate the values of these crystals yourself."
"Now, we will officially start the bidding process for these crystals. The starting price is 100,000 Top Grade Celestial Stones. Each bid should be no less than 10,000 Top Grade Celestial Stones. Everyone, please bid."
After he finished introducing the five Red Source Crystals, he put them down and looked at the private rooms.
Generally speaking, since the auction had progressed to this point, the people in the hall could only watch the show. Only the big shots in the private rooms were the main characters.
It has to be known that just the starting bid of these five crystals was 100,000 Top Grade Celestial Stones, not High-Grade Celestial Stones. This was too terrifying.
"One hundred and ten thousand."
"One hundred and thirty thousand."
"Two million!"
This price silenced everyone for a short period of time.
Who is this person?
He had increased the bid too much, increasing it to two million Top Grade Celestial Stones in an instant.
"Who's in private room no. 13?"
"I saw Kautus Monnot go in."
"So it is Kautus Monnot. No wonder his price is so high."
The moment Kautus made his bid, the hearts of those who were about to make their bids shook. After all, Kautus was not an ordinary person. He was from one of the three great families, the Monnot Families.
However, there were still some people who weren't afraid of the Monnot Family and continued bidding. They were from the Lightfoot Family, Sorenson Family, Heavenly Ice Palace, and people like Alex.
"2.5 Million Top Grade Celestial Stone."
In private room number thirteen, Kautus frowned. These people knew he was the one bidding, but they wanted to compete with him. They were obviously going against him.
"3 Million Top Grade Celestial Stone."
As soon as these words were spoken, it caused another uproar.
"Kautus increased the bid by another five hundred thousand. It seems like he is determined to win."
"You guys can compete for a while first. When I will step in, you won't have any chance to compete for the Red Source Crystals."
Alex smiled faintly. He was not in a hurry to bid. He planned to let these people compete for a while before bidding.
"3.3 Million."
That person did not give in at all and did not hesitate to compete again.
"Who is in room number 16? He isn't afraid of Kautus."
"Apart from the top powers in Heavenly Ice City, the only people who aren't afraid of Kautus and the people behind him are Divine Lords at the very least. The person in that room should also be a Divine Lord. Previously, he won the bid for one Flowing Immortality Pill as well."
In private room 13, Kautus's face darkened. This man really didn't put the Monnot family in his eyes at all.
"Kautus, this man is very likely to be a Divine Lord Stage warrior." A young man next to him said in a low voice.
Kautus nodded. "I know. Once I break through to the Divine Lord Stage, I will kill this man with my own hands."
Saying this, he increased the bid again.
"3.5 Million."
The man in private room 16 remained calm and continued to bid, "3.8 Million."
"Damn it."
Kautus gritted his teeth. He did not like the fact that someone was going against him, and this someone was not even from the other two big families. He felt provoked, but could not do anything because he was still inside the Celestial Treasures Pavilion.
Although this auction was organized by the combined forces of the three families, it doesn't mean they could do whatever they want. The Celestial Treasures Pavilion did not belong to them. Most importantly, they were only responsible for gathering treasures to put in for the auction, they could not take a single treasure for themselves without the approval of the original owner.
"4 Million," Kautus called out once again.
At this time, everyone's gaze turned toward private room No. 16 to see if he wanted to increase the bid.
The person in room 16 hesitated for a moment and said, "5 Million."
He raised the bid directly by one million Top Grade Celestial Stones. This price was very high. 5 Million Top Grade Celestial Stones were equivalent to 500 Million High-Grade Celestial Stones.
"Damn it!"
Kautus slammed his palm on the table. The intense anger had already caused his face to distort. His body was filled with killing intent as he looked at private room No. 16.
The members of the Monnot Family who were standing beside Kautus knew that his killing intent had erupted. Therefore, they stayed away from him.
"This distinguished guest in room number 16 has bid 5 Million Top Grade Celestial Stones. Does anyone has a higher bid?"
The auctioneer looked at the number 3 room. He hoped that Kautus would bid again. However, he was very disappointed. He waited for a long time, but he didn't bid again.
"Since no one else bids, then I declare."
Before he could finish, a voice interrupted him. "6 Million Top Grade Celestial Stones."
The sudden voice stunned auctioneer. The words that he had yet to finish were stuck in his throat.
After a while, the auctioneer came back to his senses. The corner of his mouth turned into a smile. He felt that this competition for the Red Source Crystals was far from over.
It was Roald who called out this bid. He represented the Lightfoot Family. This was also most of the celestial stones he could take out. After all, he was just like Kautus. Although they could represent their families, it doesn't mean they could empty out their family's treasure trove as they wished.
The old man in private room No. 16's face darkened. He was considering whether it was worth it to spend 6 Million Top Grade Celestial Stones to buy these Source Crystals or not. In the end, these people were completely unaware of the importance of Red Source Crystals.
The old man no longer continued to bid.
"6.5 Million Top Grade Celestial Stones."
This was Ceres' bid. He had also taken out every single celestial stone from his pocket to bid for the source crystals.
