“Are there any other offers?”
The woman in red knew that this price was already quite astonishing. Three hundred million contribution points was not too high, but a Virtual Fire Eye had definitely deterred many from bidding further. Everyone present at the auction was not an ordinary person; they understood that their quoted prices would be useless, and no one was harboring any delusions.
Just when everyone thought that the price for the Starry Bamboo would remain, a new price appeared on the massive screen above the auction stage: “Three hundred million contribution points, plus a ten-pound Divine Light Fish, and a bottle containing five Heavenly Tao Pills with different elemental properties.”
As soon as this price came out, it immediately caused a stir. The Starry Bamboo allowed one to comprehend the profound rhythm of the starry skies, but the Heavenly Tao Pills could also provide insight into the Laws.
The Heavenly Tao Pills originated from one of the ten great sources, the Heavenly Tao Tree. The fruits of the Heavenly Tao Tree possessed the power to comprehend the Heavenly Laws. Individually, a Heavenly Tao Fruit or a Heavenly Tao Pill could not compare to the Starry Bamboo, but the other party had surprisingly presented five Heavenly Tao Pills with different elemental properties.
This meant the pills contained elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. The five elemental properties were the most common attributes in the universe and served as foundational properties that anyone could practice. Thus, the Heavenly Tao Pills of these five attributes held significant value for any Venerable.
In addition, there was actually a ten-pound Divine Light Fish.
In the black market, Divine Light Fish were quite ordinary. A fish weighing two or three taels was not particularly valuable; generally, Divine Light Fish weighing over a pound would pique the interest of Venerables, but their value was still not very high.
A one-pound Divine Light Fish generally equated to about one to two million contribution points, so transactions often involved dozens or even hundreds of fish.
However, that was merely a one-pound Divine Light Fish. The growth of Divine Light Fish was very slow. Once they exceeded two pounds, their value would rise rapidly. A three-pound Divine Light Fish would be equivalent to fifty million contribution points, half the value of a Venerable Holy Vein, while a fish weighing over five pounds could fetch nearly the value of a Venerable Holy Vein.
As for a ten-pound Divine Light Fish, it was definitely the king among Divine Light Fish, and its value was immeasurable.
The emergence of these two treasures immediately created a sensation.
This price was naturally quoted by Qin Chen. After Qin Chen made his bid, no one else dared to quote further. Presenting a ten-pound King of Divine Light Fish along with five Heavenly Tao Pills made the Heavenly Tao Pills merely supplementary compared to the Divine Light Fish.
Even the woman in red, who was hosting the auction, was somewhat moved. She did not understand why the person making this bid did not bring such good items to the auction for consignment.
A ten-pound King of Divine Light Fish could absolutely draw attention in the initial bidding round; even in the black market, such a fish would typically only appear once every ten thousand years or so.
After waiting for a moment and seeing that no one continued to bid, the final two prices had their merits, and everyone could only watch as the owner of the Starry Bamboo chose whose price to accept.
The auction hall was silent, but everyone present was finding it hard to remain calm. Due to the secrecy measures of the auction, neither the consignor nor the bidders would reveal their identities, so everyone was quietly waiting.
In a private booth, Gu Li Mo and Ci Tian Qiong looked at Qin Chen with some confusion. They both knew that this price was quoted by Qin Chen, and the ten-pound Divine Light Fish was the second largest among all the Divine Light Fish that Qin Chen had caught in the Nether Star River. Only Qin Chen could make such a bid.
