Chapter 645: Huo Mo: Asking for Death!

"Oh?" Huo Mo also stood up, his eyes gleaming with interest as he examined the magma within the teal crystal. He laughed and said, "I really don't believe there's any divine flame our Fire Spirit Clan cannot subdue. Today seems like a good day to test the mettle of this flame."

The fact that Huo Mo had a Quasi-Heavenly Sovereign elite expert by his side was not only a testament to the Fire Spirit Clan's nurturing, but it also spoke volumes about his own talent. Considering that the Fire Spirit Clan specialized in manipulating fire, his arrogance was not unwarranted. He truly did not believe that there was a Divine Flame in the world he could not subdue.

"Haha, indeed, Master Mo Qing, since we've come to participate in the auction, we naturally won't mind these risks. Let's start the auction."

From all the small pavilions at the front, nearly everyone's gaze was focused forward, clearly showing great interest. If the flame was as powerful as Mo Qing had described, its potential was undeniable. Subduing it would surely double one's strength.

"The starting bid for this Greenstone Azure Flame is thirty-five million Sovereign Spiritual Liquids," Master Mo Qing announced in a calm voice that echoed throughout the palace. The high price made many in the audience wince.

Xiao Ming also rubbed his temples. He was interested in the Divine Flame, but the previous auctions had already depleted all his Supreme Spiritual Liquids.

"You also want this Divine Flame?"

Qing Yanjing noticed Xiao Ming's actions, and without hesitation, she flipped her hand to pull out a jade bottle and handed it to him.

"Here, there are one hundred million Sovereign Spiritual Liquids."

"Aren't you afraid that I won't return this much Sovereign Spiritual Liquid to you?" Xiao Ming was also startled by Qing Yanjing's action. Such an amount of Sovereign Spiritual Liquids was not a small sum. Unless one was the scion of a major power, it would be difficult to possess so much Sovereign Spiritual Liquid. Since it was used for cultivation, many found it barely enough for their own use, let alone to give away to someone else.

But Qing Yanjing just blinked and said with a gentle smile, "I'm not asking you to return it."

Those sitting nearby overheard every word of their conversation and could not help but twitch their faces in shock and stare in disbelief. They were almost driven mad with envy.

They had guessed right; this man was indeed eating soft rice!

A hundred million! It was a whole hundred million!

And he didn't even have to return it!

Such a generous, extravagant partner was something they all wished they had...

Amid these envious gazes, Xiao Ming solemnly put away the jade bottle; after all, he was indeed running low on Sovereign Spiritual Liquids.

"Once I've secured the Greenstone Azure Flame, I can start preparing the medicinal pills to heal your injuries."

"That would be perfect."

Seeing Xiao Ming's straightforward manner, Qing Yanjing smiled warmly with a look of admiration in her lively eyes.

Ordinary people would have bombarded her with questions about her identity upon seeing such a large amount of Sovereign Spiritual Liquids, but Xiao Ming didn't ask at all, which she found very comforting.

As they talked, the auction house echoed with continuous, deep calls of bids. Although the price of the Divine Flame had soared to daunting levels, the bidding was even more intense than for previous items. This was because the major powers that had been holding back were now all placing their bids.

The rapidly escalating price filled many hearts with envy and longing.

In just a few minutes, the price of the Greenstone Azure Flame had neared sixty million Sovereign Spiritual Liquids!

The bidding war for the Divine Flame lasted over ten minutes before it finally began to wind down, and the final price reached sixty-three million Sovereign Spiritual Liquids.

The one who offered this staggering sum was none other than Huo Mo of the Fire Spirit Clan.

This outcome left many people astonished; it seemed Huo Mo had come well-prepared for the auction, and no one else could compete with him.

Just when Huo Mo thought he had the auction in the bag, a suddenly familiar voice called out a new bid. "Seventy million Sovereign Spiritual Liquids!"

Silence.

The entire auction house fell silent. Huo Mo's expression froze for a moment at the price. Who would directly raise the bid to seventy million Sovereign Spiritual Liquids?

Did they think Sovereign Spiritual Liquids were as common as beans?

Who had made the bid?

The eyes of everyone in the auction house searched frantically, and moments later, countless gazes suddenly shot towards Xiao Ming's position.

"Damn! It's that guy again!"

"This brings the total bids from him and his companions to over one hundred and thirty million!"

"Hmph, where did this young upstart come from, daring to make such wild bids?" Inside the small pavilion, Huo Mo regained his composure and then fixed his gaze on Xiao Ming's position, his tone extremely harsh.

Even he, a descendant of a branch of the Fire Spirit Clan, couldn't produce that many Sovereign Spiritual Liquids. This kid was only backed by a severely injured Earth Sovereign. How could he afford so much Sovereign Spiritual Liquid?!

This was one hundred and thirty million, not thirteen thousand!

Others also began to harbor doubts. Although the auction house's reputation usually prevented frivolous bidding, they wondered if this person, perhaps inexperienced and overwhelmed, had bid out of impulse. After all, the amount was staggeringly high.

In response, Xiao Ming simply smiled slightly and launched the jade bottle Qing Yanjing had given him into the air. As he tilted the bottle, a thunderous sound erupted, and streams of liquid cascaded out, forming rivers that filled the air above the auction house with immense Spiritual Energy.

Countless people stared at the rivers floating in the air in stunned silence. With their keen eyesight, they could tell that the rivers were composed of Sovereign Spiritual Liquids, and moreover, the quality of these liquids was not low...

As the river swept back, no one could doubt anymore that the pretty boy in front of them, who seemed to be eating soft rice, really had one hundred and thirty million Sovereign Spiritual Liquids at his disposal.

With a whoosh, the river of Spiritual Energy flowed; Xiao Ming waved his hand, and the jade bottle reabsorbed all of the Sovereign Spiritual Liquids. He then casually glanced at a somewhat stunned Mo Qing and smiled, "There should be no issue with my bid now, right?"

"No problem, no problem... does anyone else wish to continue bidding?" Mo Qing snapped back to reality and glanced at Huo Mo.

Huo Mo's face turned iron blue. Although he still had some Sovereign Spiritual Liquids left, the total amount was barely over seventy million. The amount he had was simply not enough in light of the extravagant bids made by the other party. No matter how much he might add, it seemed the other party would undoubtedly follow suit without hesitation!

Moreover, how could he dare to follow a bid of seventy million? Even if he invested all his resources to secure the flame, how would he continue his cultivation afterward? His strength could not sustain such squandering. He was only the young master of a primary branch of the Fire Spirit Clan, not the entire clan; otherwise, why would he be seeking Divine Flames himself?

The entire audience's gaze was fixed on Huo Mo, many of them with mocking expressions on their faces. Earlier, Huo Mo had deliberately raised the price, but now he was getting a taste of his own medicine; the other party had bid so high that he dared not utter a sound...

Under those scrutinizing gazes, Huo Mo was so angry that his face turned red, and his heart was boiling with rage. He wanted to retaliate, but the daunting price ultimately deterred him. In the end, he could only clench his fists until they creaked before sitting down without saying a word.

No one else dared to bid with Huo Mo out of the running. Finally, Mo Qing brought down the gavel, and Xiao Ming officially won the Greenstone Azure Flame.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the three of them were led by a maid to the backstage area to complete the transaction.

From his small pavilion, Huo Mo watched their departing figures with a dark expression. After a long pause, he ordered, "Keep a close watch on them! And investigate their backgrounds..."

"Do they think they can take the Greenstone Azure Flame from this young master? They are truly asking for death!"
