Recruit demons to become heroes, hunt demons to become gods

Chapter 120 The Golden Fruit is Obtained

When Dou Eqing followed Gu Shuying out of the door, he saw seven cloud ladders appear in the sky.

On top of the ladder, a magnificent building stands in the clouds.

The building is shaped like a tower and has seven sides.

Each face corresponds to a ladder.

I saw a little ladder and some monks were climbing up.
I learned from Gu Shuying that the auction would be held in the tower.

Dou Eqing thought about it and there was nothing else to do, so he simply called everyone to start climbing the ladder.

He was the first to start climbing, and as soon as he stepped on the ladder he immediately understood its structure.

The cloud ladders are completely energy bodies, temporarily bound by some kind of formation to form these seven cloud ladders.

Behind Gu Shuying were Gu Shuying, Gu Shuqian and the other two.

"Husband, how can this tower be immersed in the air?"

Qin Xiao asked Gu Shuqian.

"A suspension formation was built using suspension stones, and the tower was built within the suspension formation, so it can float in the air. Legend has it that there once was a suspension continent in the earth, the entire continent suspended in the sky, and this continent was covered by the suspension formation."

Gu Shu spoke humbly and eloquently, demonstrating the breadth of his knowledge.

Qin Xiao was bought back, and there were still restrictions on him.

Perhaps in order to remove this restriction as soon as possible, he was willing to be Gu Shuqian's Taoist partner.

The two seem to be inseparable and often show their affection in front of everyone.

It was understood that Zhencai behind also wanted to be closer to Su Shang.

One person came to the middle of the ladder. There were only a few of them on their ladder, while the other ladders had at least a hundred people and some had several hundred people.

Dou Eqing was shocked that so many monks had come to the Gourd Prison.

After climbing two-thirds of the way up the ladder, everyone felt a little tired, and their steps slowed down, not knowing whether it was because they were tired from climbing or what else.

Dou Eqing was just about to take a break when he saw Su Muwan on the ladder to the north, about to enter the auction hall.

He subconsciously shouted loudly, but found that the sound could only be transmitted less than ten meters away.

This is because they are already inside a large formation, which interferes with the propagation of sound.

So he had no choice but to rush forward, hoping to catch up with Su Muwan in front of the tower.

But things went against his wishes. When Dou Eqing finally arrived in front of the tower, Su Muwan had already gone in.

He wanted to enter through Su Muwan's door, but he couldn't get in.

It was clearly just an open door, but it seemed as if there was an invisible barrier blocking him.

When Dou Eqing entered from the door corresponding to their ladder, he found himself in a private room.

I was clearly at the bottom of the tower just now, but now it seems like I am at the top of the tower. Looking out from the transparent window of the box, I can see the auction table in the middle of the tower from a high vantage point.

From the window, you can only see the auction table, nothing else.

I saw a stunningly beautiful female auctioneer already in place at the auction table, and the maid beside her had already brought up the first item.

This stunning auctioneer looks exactly like the Li Luo clone that Dou Eqing saw. It is also a clone of Li Luo, the Cai Nian clone.

"The first lot is a fourth-tier dragon-slaying sword, with a starting price of five million high-grade spirit stones."

While he was still thinking about Su Muwan, the auction had already begun.

While he was absent-minded, this fourth-tier dragon-slaying sword was sold at a high price of 10 million high-grade spirit stones and was won by Gao Song, the demon from the fourth-tier Baishan Sect.

Gao Song has reached the peak of Yuanying stage. This sword is not for his own use, but he gave it back to his junior brother.

Gao Song took the path of physical cultivation, practicing iron fist and palm techniques.

The first item was sold at such a high price because the auctioneer said that it didn’t matter if you didn’t have enough spirit stones, you just had to complete the tasks posted at the auction.

Therefore, this dragon-slaying sword was bought by a cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage as a debt.

As a result, the bidding for each product was very fierce, but the transaction was completed very quickly.

In less than half an hour, seven lots had been auctioned.

The eighth item of the auction is the purpose of Dou Eqing's trip, the Jinji Fruit.

"I don't need to explain the value of this item. Those who understand will understand. Please make an offer."

When the item on the maid's tray was unveiled during the auction, a fist-sized spiritual fruit emitting a dazzling golden light woke Dou Eqing up.

When the golden light shines on the cultivator who sees it, it will create a visual illusion that the Golden Fruit is right in front of him.

Some monks didn't understand what was going on and stretched out their hands to grab it, but found nothing.

This alone shows the extraordinary nature of the Golden Extreme Fruit.

It is also because of this characteristic that even without the auctioneer saying it, most cultivators know that this is the Golden Extreme Fruit.

"Five hundred million high-grade spirit stones!" Xiao Qiang, the cultivator leading the Xiao family, was the first to make an offer, followed by bidding sounds one after another.

"Five hundred and fifty million!"

The monk from the Qiao family followed closely behind in bidding.

"Six hundred million!"

The price of the Golden Fruit quickly bid up to 10 billion high-quality spirit stones.

When the price of the Golden Extreme Fruit reached this level, neither the Xiao nor the Qiao family cultivators continued to bid.

It’s not that they can’t afford a higher price, but because a level six force has joined the bidding, they have no chance of winning, so they might as well do a favor.

"Twelve billion!"

Dou Eqing directly raised the price by 2 billion high-quality spirit stones to express his determination to win.

This was his first time making an offer.

"Fifteen billion!"

Luo Yuan from the Demon Hunting Sect was also bidding for the first time, and he added 3 billion high-quality spirit stones at one time.

"One hundred and fifty-five billion!"

Cao Dewang of the Fiery Cave only added 500 million.

"Twenty billion!"

Dou Eqing added another 5 billion high-grade spirit stones.

The price of only the seventh item in the auction had already reached 20 billion, which was far beyond the expectations of the monks participating in the auction.

Therefore, after Dou Eqing called out 20 billion and the auction hammer fell twice, and he was about to call it a deal, Luo Yuan quickly raised the price.

"Twenty-three billion!"

"Thirty billion!"

Dou Eqing did not hesitate and immediately matched the price as soon as the other party finished speaking.

And this time the price was directly increased by 7 billion high-quality spirit stones.

Under normal circumstances, 30 billion high-quality spirit stones can already buy an ordinary sixth-level spiritual treasure.

This time Luo Yuan was even more hesitant.

As Luo Yuan hesitated, the auctioneer spoke:

"Thirty billion for the third time!"

Although he got the Golden Extreme Fruit, Dou Eqing still felt a pain in his heart.

He simply returned the storage bracelet to Gu Shuying and owed the auction house the spirit stones.

“There’s no such thing as a free lunch!”

Gu Shuying reminded.

"I know that it takes strength to dine for free!"

Dou Eqing said perfunctorily.

"Also, the Golden Extreme Fruit is so popular that winning the bid is just the beginning. Whether we can hold on to it remains to be seen."

"I thought of this problem. I took the Golden Fruit and consumed it immediately."

While the two were discussing, there was a knock on the door outside the box.

"You're getting something for nothing, kid. Don't blame me for not warning you. If you can't pay me back, I'll pay with your life!"

The person who came was Li Luo's love clone who delivered the Golden Fruit. She heard everything that Dou Eqing and Dou Eqing had said before.

She was very pessimistic about Dou Eqing, who was only in the Jindan stage.

"Didn't they say that completing a mission can compensate for it? What mission is it?"

Dou Eqing asked indifferently.

"For your 30 billion mission, you must kill at least one fifth-level demon."

Ainian's clone subconsciously answered Dou Eqing's question, but did not want to reveal the arrangements of the auction in advance.

So she quickly handed over the Jinji Fruit Kingdom to Dou Eqing and left.

"Killing a fifth-level demon? What on earth is the demon clan trying to do?"

Dou Eqing murmured as he watched the other person's disappearing back.

"It seems that the matter is not simple. You should quickly refine this Golden Fruit and break through to the Spiritual Sea Realm. The more strength you gain, the greater your chances of victory."

Gu Shuying reminded him.
