Chapter 247: The Hundred Demons Furnace

Chu Xiu didn't expect that such good luck would also hit him.

The world that was extremely suitable for him was the [Hundred Ghosts Furnace]!

The reason why this world was named after the furnace was because its main body was a huge deep pit that went down layer by layer, but this deep pit was much larger than the big pit of disaster parasitism in the world of corpse ghosts!

If the big pit of disaster parasitism that was comparable to the area of ​​a city was amazing enough, then the world of [Hundred Ghosts Furnace] was a continent!

And its special feature was that the whole world was filled with rich Yin Qi, which would continue to sink. The deeper the pit was, the richer the Yin Qi was! Such a rich Yin Qi gave birth to a large number of ghosts, hence the name [Hundred Ghosts Furnace]!

"If my Thousand Souls Banner wants to refine the Ghost King, it must continuously smelt a large number of ghosts! The countless ghosts in this world are perfect!"

It is hard to imagine how many creatures are hidden in a huge pit that is comparable to a continent!

Of course, if it was just that, it would not make Chu Xiu so excited, after all, there are many worlds with rich Yin Qi.

The special thing about this world is its unique experience.

It was discovered forty years ago, when it was still in the dark and turbulent period.

And the way it was discovered was not the awakening trial, but a [Heroic Spirit] strongman detected this unknown world when he was free diving.

After entering this world, the strong man realized at the first time that this thick yin energy and the ghosts that filled the whole world were such a huge treasure house!

This world alone is probably enough to meet the cultivation needs of tens of thousands of [Soul System] professions!

So he didn't hesitate at all and directly consumed an extremely precious [Independent Anchor Point] to establish a connection with this world.

[Independent Anchor Point] is one of the final prizes that Chu Xiu won after passing the Old Days Trial. Its effect is that after using it in a world, it can be transformed into a [Core Anchor Point]!

The value of this item is incredibly high. It is indispensable for pioneering or expeditions to other worlds. Usually only [Heroic Spirit] or even [Demigod] strongmen can have it by chance.

In the following years, the [Heroic Spirit] made a fortune by constantly capturing ghosts and selling [Anchor Points].

However, the biggest difference between the world obtained by free diving and the world obtained by the awakening trial is that these worlds may not have been completely swallowed by the abyss.

And not being completely swallowed means that there is civilization in this world!

Theoretically, Blue Star also belongs to this kind of world, which means that awakeners from other worlds may also come to Blue Star through [Free Diving].

That's right, there are local natives in the [Hundred Ghosts Furnace] world. Not only do they exist, but they are also a huge civilization with a population of over 100 million!

This civilization calls itself the [Ghost Exorcist] civilization by capturing and driving ghosts in the deep pit to fight and develop.

When the [Ghost Exorcist] civilization and the awakened ones collided, needless to say, it was naturally a life-and-death struggle between the colonists and the local civilization.

The [Hundred Ghosts Furnace] world is only a level 5 world, which means that the highest level existence among them is only the king level, and naturally it is not the opponent of the awakened ones, and they were killed and retreated step by step, with countless casualties.

It is said that the conqueror king at that time was tempted to find that [Heroic Spirit] to buy the anchor point, completely conquer this civilization, and take it into his pocket.

However, in times of crisis, there will always be heroes who stand up.

At that time, the strongest person of the [Ghost Exorcist] civilization gathered the power of civilization and successfully advanced to [Heroic Spirit]. He set up a large formation at the bottom of the furnace, and a wave of unexpected attacks directly killed all three [Heroic Spirits] in the awakening camp!

Because the holder of the [Core Anchor Point] was killed, the [Core Anchor Point] was naturally broken, and the number of awakened people could not be replenished. Under the pursuit of the entire clan of the [Ghost Exorcist] civilization, they had no choice but to flee back to Blue Star and never dared to enter again.

Over time, Blue Star also completely lost control of this world.

The Conqueror King felt a little regretful, but he didn't pay too much attention to it. There are countless worlds in the abyss, and [Hundred Demons Furnace] is just an ordinary one among them. Although the world structure is special and very suitable for the development of [Soul System] profession, the abyss level is too shallow, and the world level is only level 5, which is not worth a king's attention.

Everyone thought that the two worlds would no longer have any intersection. This is just a world that is not worth mentioning among the thousands of awakeners who failed to conquer.

But what no one expected was that in an awakening trial just one and a half months ago, [Hundred Demons Furnace] was actually selected as a trial world!

And only a world where civilization has disappeared and is completely swallowed by the abyss can become a trial world!

This immediately attracted the attention of the government, and after an investigation, the Investigation Bureau also roughly pieced together the whole story.

It turned out that the strongest person of the [Ghost Exorcist] civilization did kill three [Heroic Spirits], but he did it at the cost of burning his own life.

Not only him, but also hundreds of kings who assisted the formation in running also sacrificed their lives!

There was no other way. The gap between the Heroic Spirit and the King was too big. The strongest person had just advanced to the [Heroic Spirit]. Even with the help of the formation, how could he possibly defeat the three senior [Heroic Spirits] who were already strong enough to start [Free Diving]?

Therefore, although the Awakener was finally expelled, the [Ghost Exorcist] civilization also suffered heavy losses, with heavy casualties.

And don’t forget, this is a world with extremely strong Yin energy, which is extremely suitable for the birth of ghosts!

The souls of a large number of dead strong men, nourished by Yin Qi, transformed into ferocious ghosts, and eventually evolved into [Heroic Spirit] level ghost kings!

Under the leadership of the Ghost King, a riot broke out in the entire world. All ghosts began to slaughter any living creature indiscriminately, and the dead creatures were transformed into new ghosts!

Under such endless pursuit, the Ghost Exorcist civilization, which originally had a population of over 100 million, was completely extinct in less than ten years.

This tragic disaster made Chu Xiu, a demon cultivator, feel a little emotional. A huge civilization had disappeared like this because of human invasion.

But this can be regarded as a characteristic of the human race.

As ordinary people, they have a strong ability to empathize, but as the power they control increases, they become more and more indifferent and arrogant. This is true at all times and in all countries.

Only a few people can maintain understanding and empathy for the bottom while holding high positions. These people are often saints and heroes worthy of respect.

And if power is like this, it is even easier for people to get lost in the extraordinary power that can change the nature of life.

In the eyes of many high-level awakened people, they no longer regard ordinary people as their compatriots. They regard themselves as some kind of more transcendent life.

Even if thousands of people are slaughtered, for the powerful [Heroic Spirit], it is just a matter of raising his hand to release a skill.

"In short, the world of [The Forge of One Hundred Ghosts] was swallowed by the abyss, and appeared in the awakening trial last month." While Chu Xiu was thinking, the host's explanation voice also sounded.

"Everyone also knows that the speed of time in a world swallowed by the abyss is different. According to preliminary investigations, the [Hundred Ghosts Furnace] has evolved on its own in the abyss for more than two hundred years. Can you imagine that in a full two hundred years, nourishment will be born? How many new ghosts will make the existing ghosts become more powerful?"

"Moreover, its position in the abyss has also dropped to a deeper level. The stronger power of the abyss has made the concentration of Yin Qi in the [Hundred Ghosts Furnace] richer than before, and the world level has also been raised to level six!"

"This means that whether it is the quantity, quality or level of ghosts, they have all been greatly improved compared to before!"

"In addition, whether it is the lost [Ghost Exorcist Civilization] or the secret treasures on the three dead [heroic spirits], they are a huge wealth! They are quietly waiting for discovery by the destined person!"

As the host finished speaking, you could feel that the enthusiasm of the audience below was obviously aroused.

And the host also took the opportunity to add the final spark!

"Another extremely important point is that because the initial awakened people generally do not have good means of dealing with ghosts, there were a lot of casualties during the process of conquering the world mission. Only seven of the top thirty people who contributed! Of the top three, only the second one survived! The first one with the most [Anchor Points] died together with the boss!”

No need for the host to say anything, everyone present understood what this meant.

This means there is an extreme shortage of [anchor points]! The shortage of [anchor points] also means that the competitive pressure is greatly reduced, and the resources available to everyone are greatly increased!

Now, everyone completely understood why an [Anchor Point] could be the final auction item!

Chu Xiu also made a quick decision in his mind.

There is no doubt that this world is a perfect fit for him.

But that doesn't mean that it doesn't have any shortcomings. First of all, the price is naturally too high. If Chu Xiu wants to win it, he will have to pay a high price.

Secondly, the level 6 world level and the possibility of attracting powerful [Heroic Spirits] due to rich resources mean an increase in the risk factor, which is inconsistent with the steady development plan Chu Xiu had previously set.

However, he only thought about it for a moment before making up his mind.

Be sure to get this anchor!

A huge opportunity is in front of him, and he is not cautious enough to shrink back just because of this risk!

That is no longer cautious, but cowardly!

And almost the moment Chu Xiu made up his mind, the host's auction hammer also fell!

"The starting price is 50 billion!"

Fifty billion!

As the highest starting price in the audience landed, there was a gasp in the box. The head of the Xu family shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The starting price is 50 billion. It seems that this [anchor] should be prepared for heroic spirits." Yes, like us kings."

"One hundred billion."

Before he finished speaking, Chu Xiu's calm voice sounded in the box.

"."

The box fell into an eerie silence, with only the sound of a few people breathing heavier and heavier.

"One, one hundred billion?"

The two heads of the family widened their eyes, doubting their own ears.

The net worth of an ordinary awakened king-level person is only around 10 billion, and even a high-level king-level person only has a net worth of 20 to 30 billion.

Without a particularly big chance, only the top kings, or heads of clans like them, can reach over 100 billion in assets after accumulating wealth for more than ten years!

And Chu Xiu, who opens his mouth is worth hundreds of billions. Judging from his calm expression, his true worth is most likely far more than this!

"If this person is not insane and quoting randomly"

The two looked at each other and two words came to mind.

[Heroic Spirit]!

As for the Qin family members, their expressions were dull.

Originally, everyone felt that Chu Xiu was a little unhappy about spending the family's money, but now that they think about it, they just feel that they are just a frog in the well. Would someone who can casually call out 100 billion care about those small amounts of money?

"Tianzi Box No. 3, 110 billion." Just as everyone was shocked, a new bid sounded from the loudspeaker of the box.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

This time, Chu Xiu's doubling tactics did not scare others, after all, the value of this [Anchor Point] was too great.

And Chu Xiu did not raise the price violently like last time.

Tianzi Box, it is likely that the person sitting inside is a heroic spirit!

This kind of opponent needs to adopt a different strategy.

"Tianzi Box No. 1, 120 billion."

At this time, someone else took action.

Chu Xiu's brows tightened again.

"150 billion." He said coldly, and instantly added 30 billion.

However, not long after he finished speaking, a voice came from Tianzi Box No. 1 without showing any weakness.

"One hundred and eighty billion!"

He also added three billion, as if to show Chu Xiu his determination, which made his face more solemn.

The others in the box were so scared that they didn't even dare to breathe in front of this huge amount of money, and they all looked at Chu Xiu nervously.

"Qin, Brother Qin, why don't you just forget it? The No. 1 box is the Jiang family, one of the four great families in Kyoto! Recently, they have a civilization envoy, and they are in the limelight!" The head of the Xu family swallowed nervously.

"Yes, yes," the head of the He family also said, "The four great families are overbearing, be careful that they will hold a grudge against you."

Chu Xiu didn't reply, but narrowed his eyes again and said calmly: "Two hundred billion."

"Two hundred and ten billion!" The other party immediately followed up

"Two hundred and twenty billion!"

"Two hundred and thirty billion!!"

"Two hundred and fifty billion!!!"

As Chu Xiu shouted out this astonishing number, the other side finally fell silent, and the whole audience became silent.

Even as the annual auction of the Magic City, it is very rare to see such an amount!

And the people in the box were completely stunned.

"Knock, knock."

At this time, a rhythmic knock on the door broke the dead silence.

A servant came to Chu Xiu and whispered: "This sir, the distinguished guest in the No. 1 box wants to see you."

Although his voice was very low, everyone present was awakened and heard it clearly. At this moment, their faces turned pale, and there was only one thought in their hearts:

"It's over!"

"I came to the door!"

Only Chu Xiu's face remained calm, and he just said lightly: "Come in."

He didn't say it to the waiter, but seemed to be talking to himself, and his voice was not loud, but the moment the voice fell, the door of the box was pushed open.

A boy with a red face and white teeth, who looked only eight or nine years old, walked in.

The boy had a red mole on his forehead. The strange thing was that although he looked very young, his eyes were deep and far from his age. He exuded a faint but extremely powerful aura.

When he pushed the door open and walked in, everyone instantly realized that he was definitely a [Heroic Spirit]!

Everyone stood up immediately, their expressions became restrained, and even cold sweat oozed from their foreheads. Only Chu Xiu remained sitting quietly.

And the boy's eyes also ignored everyone else and locked directly on Chu Xiu.

After a while, he chuckled: "I am Jiang Lingfu, brother, I don't know you, but I don't know your name?"

"Qin Yu." Chu Xiu said lightly.

"It's Brother Qin," Jiang Lingfu nodded. "Time is tight, so I'll speak frankly. I hope Brother Qin won't blame me."

"Brother Jiang, please speak."

"Our Jiang family is descended from the ancient Jiang family. We are born with a strong control over the soul. There are also a large number of soul-related professions in the family. This [anchor point] may involve the opportunity for several advanced heroes. The funds prepared by the family this time are more than 500 billion. Our Jiang family is determined to get it."

"Talking to Brother Qin in advance now is not to let us raise the price against each other and let the third party benefit."

"I wonder if Brother Qin can give up? Our Jiang family is willing to give Brother Qin corresponding compensation."

Jiang Lingfu's words directly confused the heads of the other two families.

No, is this still the four major families in Kyoto who are known for their domineering behavior? Why did they suddenly change their nature?

Not only persuaded with kind words, but also willing to give extra compensation!

The other party is so sincere, so they should compromise now, and not really go to the four major families.

"Sorry."

However, before they could finish their thoughts, Chu Xiu had already said no.

He turned around slowly, looked at Jiang Lingfu calmly, and said calmly:

"I will definitely get this [anchor point]."

"If your Jiang family can afford 500 billion, then I will pay 600 billion!"
