The Invincible Dragon Emperor

Chapter 643: Finale

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

A little nun that came from nowhere became very close to him and told him that he was someone special, someone important in her life in the future?

This little nun was only of six or seven years old and innocent. She had remarkable abilities and could see his original look and the silver dragon mark in his Soul Pond. If it weren't for those facts, Lu Li would have kicked her away, regarding her as a fraud.

But here was the thing!

The little nun was too wicked. Lu Li even felt like she was a small monster, a goblin, instead of a normal human being.

That being said, Lu Li felt comfortable around her, as if she were his own sister or daughter. He cared about her and didn't have any ill intentions to her.

"Honorable alms givers, we will begin today's auction now. The first item is Cyan Bamboo Fruit. I don't need to bore you with the effects of the fruit. It is very beneficial to souls. We will sell 10,000 of them all together and the starting price is 10 million Purple Xuan Crystals. Price raised must be more than 10,000 Purple Xuan Crystals!"

Lu Li was distracted by the voice from outside where it became livelier instantly. He pouted that the starting price for the first item had already reached 10 million Purple Xuan Crystals.

One Purple Xuan Crystal was worth 10,000 Xuan Crystals. Hence, 10 million Purple Xuan Crystals would be 100 billion Xuan Crystals. Granted, there were 10,000 Cyan Bamboo Fruit being sold all together. Still, that was pricey. This was the first batch of fruits. Then what would the fruit sold at the end be worth of? Incalculable!

Lu Li had no interest in the other fruits. He only aimed for the Bodhi Fruit.

This time, he brought many Xuan Crystals with him. After Lu Ling unified the Clouds Plains, she confiscated a huge amount of treasure. In addition, they had sold many Mystical Materials from the Inferno. Lu Ling told the Chief Steward to give Lu Li all the Xuan Crystals in their national treasury. Lu Li brought six trillion Xuan Crystals, i.e. 600 million Purple Xuan Crystals.

That was extremely wealthy. If Lu Li spent all that money in buying Holy Grade weapons, there could be a pile of them.

But…

Lu Li was feeling less confident. Could he buy the Bodhi Fruit with the 600 million Purple Xuan Crystals? If no, what should he do?

The bidding outside began soon and the price rocketed. Those who made offers were not disciples from Royal Families, but from the other established and rich ones.

The young masters and young ladies from the 12 Royal Families were all here today. It was a chance for making a hit. Those disciples from rich families wouldn't let go of such a chance to showcase their families' wealth and resources.

"Why don't you make an offer?"

Standing next to Lu Li, Prajna leaned on him as if she was snuggling. She looked up at Lu Li and asked. Her eyes were as bright and pretty as stars in the night sky.

Lu Li smiled and said, "I am poor. I cannot afford the fruits of the Great Buddhist Temple."

"You are lying."

Prajna stood on tiptoe and whispered, "You have 600 million Purple Xuan Crystals. How can you say you are poor?"

"You can see that?"

Lu Li was speechless. His Xuan Crystals were in the Interspatial Ring. How could this little girl see the treasures hidden in there through the Interspatial Ring?

"Of course! I am very good." Prajna twitched her nose. She leaned over and whispered in pride, "I can see that there is a Quasi Relic in your Interspatial Ring and there is a cute little beast in that. I can two people in the Quasi Relic as well."

"…"

Lu Li really didn't know how to react. This little girl was out of the ordinary. She could even see Little White in the Ding of Barbarian God.

Lu Li was afraid that Little White would be exposed. Now that Ji Mengtian and someone else had seen it, he had let Little White stayed in the Ding of Barbarian God. Ji Mengyao and Yang Yu had both fainted from starvation and Little White could control the Ding of Barbarian God so Lu Li was not worried.

"She is of some kind of miraculous birth for sure!"

This was the only reason Lu Li could think of. Nothing else could explain her supernatural abilities. Lu Ling was of such births, the fire phoenix birth. She could rise from the ashes. Only those of miraculous births could have such magical powers.

The auction was still going on but Lu Li didn't care. He was bored, as a matter of fact. He had decided not to bid on any fruit other than the Bodhi Fruit and thought he might just as well chat with little Prajna.

He felt close to the little girl. They had only been knowing for a moment but he felt as if she was his younger sister or daughter.

Gu Min and the patriarch of the Gu Family were there but they didn't say anything. They pretended to be observing the auction. They dared not to interfere with Lu Li's business.

The first batch of fruit, the 10,000 Cyan Bamboo Fruit were bought by a seventh rank family and the final offer was 70 million Purple Xuan Crystals.

To make a purchase at the Central Plains, people used Purple Xuan Crystals as the treasures sold often were valuable. They would have a hard time keeping track by using Xuan Crystals.

The second batch of fruit couldn't compare to the first batch either in value or quantity. There were only more than a dozen fruits and the starting price was only several million Purple Xuan Crystals.

Soon, more than a dozen batches were sold and the prices were less startling as the first batch. Lu Li was relieved a bit.

None of the disciples of the 12 Royal Families made an offer. It appeared they were only here for fun and had no intention of participating. But some disciples of major families sitting on lotus seats made offers. They got their own fruits respectively.

Lu Li was bored in waiting. When Evil Punisher began to introduce another item, Lu Li moved closer to Prajna and asked, "Do you know the names of the fruits sold later?"

"Yes!"

Prajna said, blinking, "There are more than 40 varieties waiting to be auctioned. I picked some of them myself."

"Oh?"

Gu Min and patriarch of the Gu Family looked over in curiosity upon hearing her words. She must be of high status at the Great Buddhist Temple for she had access to the orchard.

The adorable little nun had reached the peak of the Fate Wheel Realm at the age of six or seven. Gu Min and the patriarch speculated that she might be a disciple of the Great Buddhist Temple and might be a young lady of the Kong Family, the Royal Family.

Lu Li didn't make unnecessary guesses of Prajna's identity. It was highly likely that she was of miraculous birth. She would be at least cherished at the Great Buddhist Temple even if she was not a young lady of the Kong Family.

But he wondered how come the Great Buddhist Temple didn't send anyone to look for her after Prajna sneaked into his private room. Weren't they afraid that he would kidnap Prajna?

But those questions were thrown to the back of Lu Li's head soon. He asked anxiously, "Do you know the name of the three fruits to be auctioned last?"

Prajna thought about it. Tilting her head, she said, "I do. It's Fairy Mushroom, Bodhi Fruit and Dragon Breath Fruit. Those are the grand finale."

"Finale!"

Lu Li's face turned awful. Bodhi Fruit was the last but one to be auctioned. How high would the price go? He couldn't imagine. Could he buy it at 600 million Purple Xuan Crystals?

"If it comes to it, I will borrow some Xuan Crystals from Ye Luo!"

Lu Li thought of an idea. He had talked to Ye Yu last night. Ye Luo might have made preparation. The Ye Family would be able to afford hundreds of millions of Purple Xuan Crystals.
