Chapter 964: A Pillow for the Sleepy
Luck is a part of one's strength—this saying couldn't be more fitting when applied to the Celestial Fox clan. On the Daemon Continent, fortune was quite literally a power to be wielded by those capable. And the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor, by virtue of his mastery over fortune, stood as the world's foremost decisionmaker; in a sense, he was the true leader of the Ancestral Court's Council.
And now, at this mega-auction, the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor was astonishingly offering a drop of his own blood essence. Its value was beyond measure. It was an absolute treasure.
Many contenders for an Emperor position, upon seeing this drop of blood, found their breathing become ragged. If one could obtain it, then even putting aside their own strength, their chances of succeeding in... anything really increased significantly.
"The starting bid is five hundred amethystine coins. Each increment must be no less than one hundred amethystine coins. Let the bidding begin."
The starting bid was quite fair. The Celestial Fox Demon Emperor's drop of blood essence was not an artifact but a consumable, so a starting bid of five hundred was very reasonable. As for the high increments... The problem was that this blood essence was rarer than any divine item. Divine items could be found here and there if one was willing to pay enough, but where would one find another drop of blood from the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor? Not only was it a drop of blood essence from an Emperor, which was rare enough to begin with, but it came with fortune that could benefit absolutely anyone!
So, its rarity was beyond question, and it was especially crucial for the upcoming Battle for the Throne. Its final price would have nothing to do with the auction house's initial price; it would only be determined upon fierce competition.
"One thousand amethystine coins from VIP Room Six."
"Eleven hundred amethystine coins from VIP Room Three."
"Twelve hundred from VIP Room Ten."
