"Forty Billion Spirit Crystals!" the auctioneer exclaimed as the bidding frenzy stirred her and the crowd into an excited frenzy. Even if those in the crowd were unable to bid on the item themselves, it was always entertaining to watch just how high bidding wars would go.

"Tch, the fucking Trade Master has entered this bid," Sect Leader Thunderfist clicked his tongue in frustration as he watched the Trade Masters private booth light up with a bid, exceeding his bid by ten billion in one swoop.

"Forget it. If he wants this Seal, then I won't even bother fighting against him," Thunderfist grumbled and placed no more bids. While Thunderfist was a World Expansion expert with great wealth, he could not compete against the Trade Master when it came to wealth.

The thirty billion spirit crystal bid was already a very sizable portion of his total wealth, and he was unable to go much higher. As such, he gave up on bidding for the Seal, as he knew he would not be able to obtain it.

"Tch, so he's entered the fray!"

"How annoying!"

The two other powerful cultivators that the Trade Master discussed also grumbled within their private booths as they saw the Trade Master enter the fray. While it was actually John bidding on the item, they were unable to discern that due to the sight and sound blocking features of the private booths.

However, they had more wealth than Thunderfist, and were not so easily quelled.

"Your wealth may be more than mine, but lets see how much you desire this weapon," Daoist Ashenblood said as she placed her hand on the bidding formation.

"Forty Five Billion!" the auctioneer exclaimed as another bid was placed.

"Tch, that weapon is mine!" Xalgul Plaagoth scoffed within his own private booth and placed his bid as well.

"Fifty Billion Spirit Crystals!" the auctioneer exclaimed once more, as the price of the seal soared to unreal heights, showing just how much the World Expansion cultivators wanted it. To obtain a weapon that would improve their combat prowess and put them amongst those at the top of the world, they would spend almost everything they owned on it.

They had opportunities to reacquire spirit crystals in the future, but an opportunity like this would most likely never come again.

"It seems like you were correct, Trade Master," John frowned as the bidding war continued, soaring into the price range that the Trade Master said it would. However, with his current net wealth, this amount was still not concerning for him.

John calmly placed his hand on the bidding formation once more, while his private booth lit up with the bid amount once more.

"Sixty Billion Spirit Crystals! Another ten billion spirit crystal increase!" the auctioneer exclaimed excitedly, while the crowd erupted with heated discussions.

"Tch, fuck off you trading fart. What do you even need a weapon for?" Daoist Ashenblood grumbled angrily as she placed her hand on the bidding formation once more.

"Sixty One Billion Spirit Crystals!"

"You fucking ants. I already said this weapon is mine," Xalgul Plaagoth scoffed again, placing his own bid once more.

"Sixty Five Billion Spirit Crystals! Daoist Eternal Weapons name has shattered yet another record, as the highest price ever bid on a weapon. Just how high will it continue to go?" the auctioneer boomed.

"Seventy Billion!" she exclaimed once more, as John placed his bid immediately after.

"It seems like Daoist Ashenflame is reaching the end, as her bid increase was only one billion. Xalgul Plaagoth increased by four billion, so it will most likely be between you and him," the Trade Master said calmly, giving his thoughts of the situation.

"How much do you think Xalgul is willing to bid on this Seal?" John asked the Trade Master.

"Hmm, he has yet to assume the mantle of Monster Race King yet, so his wealth has not had time to accumulate properly yet. His total wealth is probably under one hundred billion, so he's already reaching his limits. They currently think it's me bidding, and are curious as to just how much I want this weapon. If you place a bid of eighty five billion, I'm sure you'll silence them all for good," the Trade Master explained.

John grimaced at the price, as eight-five billion for a single weapon was an astronomical sum that even he felt hard to spend. However, with his battle with the Asura coming up in the near future, there was no other choice, as money would become useless for him if he died in that battle.

"Seventy One Billion!"

The bid came from the Xalgul Plaagoths booth, while no more bids came from Doaist Ashenflame, revealing that the Trade Master had been right on his assessment of her. Also, Xalgul had decreased his bid increase to one billion, revealing that he too was starting to become money conscientious.

Seeing this, John placed his hand on the bidding formation once more, hoping to end the bidding war once and for all. His private booth lit up with the bid amount, which sent a shockwave of awe and discussion through the crowd.

"Eighty Five Billion! An astronomical increase!" the auctioneer boomed, almost unable to believe her eyes.

"Tch, that bastard!" Xalgul roared with bared teeth as he crushed his wine cup in his hand, almost unable to contain his rage. However, violence of all kinds was forbidden in the city, even for someone as powerful as him, and so no action was taken at all.

The bidding formations died down after John's bid, and the crowd held their breath as the auctioneer began her countdown.

"Eighty five billion spirit crystals for Daoist Eternal Weapon's seal. Going once, going twice…..SOLD, for eighty five billion spirit crystals!"

Woahhhhh!</o>

The crowd erupted in frenzied excitement, as they had become witnesses to one of the most shocking bids in the auction house's history. While other items had sold for more in the past, it was extremely rare for even the final item of the auction to be sold for this much, and was something hardly ever seen.

A deep sigh of relief escaped John's mouth as he slouched back into his seat, feeling as though he had just gone through an arduous battle.

"Congratulations!" the Trade Master said to John, while Caz also congratulated John after recovering from his shock at the bidding amount.

"Thanks," John sighed, just happy that he had successfully obtained the seal.

"I'm curious though. What would make you so eager to obtain a weapon of this level, that you would spend this amount on it? You're yet to reach the Dao Transformation Realm, let alone the World Expansion realm," the Trade Master asked curiously.

"Heh, you'll find out the answer to that question in the near future, but until then, I'm afraid I can't tell you," John replied with a vague response.

"I look forward to seeing that moment," the Trade Master replied before shifting the question. "Now that you've obtained the Seal, what materials are you going to use for the weapon?"

"Materials? What do you mean?" John asked questioningly.

"Ah, I thought you already knew," the Trade Master replied with a slightly wry tone, feeling guilty for not explaining the situation fully for John. "Daoist Eternal Weapon will make the weapon for you, but everyone knows you must provide the materials for the weapon yourself. It is the only way he operates."

"What?!?!?!?"
