Chapter 1496 - Death Mountain
Luo Hai swept his gaze across everyone in the main hall and hesitated, especially when his eyes landed on Xu Lingxue and the other ladies.
"Leave us," Liu Wuxie said. He could see the difficulty written all over Luo Hai's face.
After everyone withdrew, only Liu Wuxie and Luo Hai remained in the main hall.
"Death Mountain is a weird place, and I’ve heard it’s hiding countless treasures," Luo Hai began.
"Carry on," Liu Wuxie said, his curiosity instantly stirred.
If Death Mountain truly hid that many treasures, cultivators in the Indigo Bamboo Astral Domain would've never left it alone. Their greed would have swallowed it long ago.
"There's another rumor that Death Mountain holds thirty percent of the wealth in the Indigo Bamboo Astral Domain, and there's only one way to acquire that wealth," Luo Hai said, deliberately leaving the sentence hanging to keep Liu Wuxie in suspense.
Thirty percent of the Indigo Bamboo Astral Domain's wealth meant something obscene. It rivaled the combined wealth of the Heavenly Dragon Sect, the Grand Unity Sect, and the Nine Dragon Palace, and the thought alone could make one's scalp prickle.
"Stop dilly-dallying and say it already," Liu Wuxie urged. He had no patience for stories, and he had no time left to indulge Luo Hai's pacing; if he couldn't gather enough astral crystals, he would attend the auction as nothing more than a spectator.
At the last auction, a single item had fetched five million astral crystals. Against that figure, a million wouldn’t even cause a ripple.
"Trade one's life," Luo Hai finally revealed.
He had kept silent earlier, not wanting Xu Lingxue and the others to worry. He also knew that Liu Wuxie would never back down from this auction, and without sufficient astral crystals, Liu Wuxie could only watch from the sidelines.
