The Strongest Businessman-143 Chapter 143: The Last Item

After relentless bidding, the final victor was the Thunder Grand Clan and like what Dylan estimated, the final price was at the five thousand four hundred spirit stones!

"The 24th item is now sold to the Thunder Grand Clan!" Dylan happily announced and thought of his earnings.

"Huuu, that was close. I thought we were going to spend an even greater amount." Dorin sighed in relief.

...

"Five thousand spirit stones...."

The crowd was drooling when they thought how much Dylan was earning from this auction! They roughly estimated that his earnings would be around ten thousand spirit stones already and even if they were to say that the profits would be split for the people who auctioned the item.

Dylan would still at the very least retain about 50% to 60% of the total income! That is around 5,000-6,000 spirit stones! To gain such money would mean that they won't have to worry about anything for the rest of their lives!

But what they did not know was that the existence of those clients were nothing but lies. All of the income would still go to Dylan! Not only that, the fact that Dylan did not even have to invest money to earn such an amount would leave them speechless and envious to their very core!

...

Dylan continued with the auction with a sense of accomplisment on him already but he knew that the greatest income has yet to come for he still has his final item. It was not only him, he could sense that the all supersects present in his auction are also anticipating what sort of treasure he had prepare as the last item.

'It seems the hype for the last item is incredibly intense.' Dylan thought. 'That's even better the more hype and excited they are, the more heated the bidding is going to be, the more money I earn from them.'

...

With the auction proceeding it's end, the bidding for the next items just intensified even more!

Dylan maintained a calm and pleasant demeanor despite how many hours has already passed. "Okay, the twenty fifth item is..."

With the intensity of the twenty fourth item, the crowd was still excited witth the introduction of the next item was called Lightning Beans which could be used to create a psuedo-avatar of the lightning level. Even though the twenty fifth item was just at the High Earth Rank, the momentum of the previous item lead it to have the price of nine hundred ten spirit stones despite it's maximum cost being only seven hundred fifty! It was as if the brazen momentum of the twenty fourth item was infectious!

This item was sold to the Thundercloud Guards.

The following items after the twenty fifth item were all sold above one thousand spirit stones! The twenty sixth item was another Solarburst Chrysanthemum that Dylan prepared and yet it was sold at the price of one thousand fifteen!

This item was acquired by Brock Stone of the Stone Edge Manor.

The twenty seventh item, Four Season Clover, was another High Earth Herb which has an unexpected functional effect if used in a pill like the Cleansing Origin Vines. Although it was not as amazing as creating an extra Origin Palace, however it could increase the duration connectivity of a human to nature by threefolds, it was still sold for one thousand six hundred spirit stones!

This was bought by Emilia Sparks of Moonlight Paradise.

The twenty eighth item, Boar Faced Flower, was yet another herb with the ability of raising a cultivator's energy reserve capacity by 60% and also provides a stable breakthrough of three to four stages! It was eventually sold at the price of one thousand seven hundred eighty spirit stones.

It was bought by Nick Williams of the Thunderstike Guild.

The twenty ninth item, the Acidic Venom Mantrap, was one of the shocking herbal creatures that Dylan had for it could be cultivated up until Mortal Moulting Realm which was a really terrifying monster! It was sold for two thousand six hundred sixty spirit stones!

This item was seized by Cobra of the Cloud Serpent Sect.

...

"The final item is finally here! But before I introduce the final item, I would like to thank everyone for coming here to this event. This event would not have been so successful without all of you. As a form of gratitude, I would like to gift you with a one-time 10% coupon to your overall purchase in my store." Dylan took this opportunity where the crowd was still focused with him in order to advertise this deal.

The entire crowd which was concentrating on Dylan naturally heard this and was pleased with this generous deal. Words of praises and jubilant cheers could be heard in several areas of the entire block.

"Woah, 10% for overall purchase? I'm definitely coming back!"

"Does that mean the more I buy, the more discount it could offer? What a generous offer!"

"Hahahaha, I like it! Now that's a bargain!"

"To think that coming here actually has benefits like this! What a great deal this is!"

"To present you with the coupon, here are my employees who will disseminate the coupon to everyone." Dylan added. He glanced at his employees who were already standing and holding small papers with them signalling them to proceed with their tasks.

Each moved like how they would serve their customers: fast and efficient. The crowd praised them for their coordination because there were rarely errors that they committed. In no time, they were able to distribute the coupon to all nine hundred participants.

...

After the distribution, Dylan continued speaking, "Now without further ado, this is the final item!"

The final item was brought by Tesa, a cute yet voluptuous lady with a dark brown hair. She opened the treasure chest she held and it contained a small antique vile which was about three inches big and within a pint of red could be seen.

"What is that?" That was the only question which the crowd had in their minds when they saw the vile. It was contrary to what they actually envisioned the final item would be.

"This item was given to me by an unknown old man. According to him, he found this at an ancient tomb with an arachaic language inscribed on it's entrance! When he entered the tomb, he said the death traps and the flash mobs it held could easilu kill a Mortal Severing Cultivator. Fortunately, he stumbled upon a secret passage and had an exit with this vial on hand. He luckily escaped and never returned to the tomb ever again." Dylan mysteriously narrated a story.

The crowd was shocked by this story. Some even believed the story immediately after they heard of it.

"An ancient tomb?"

"Gate with archaic language?"

"Traps and creatures that could easily slaughter a Mortal Severing?"

However, there were still some people who was critical about what they heard and interrogated Dylan.

"Where is this ancient tomb located?" Dorin Thunder was the first to critique the story.

"Sadly, he did not reveal the location of the tomb for he feared that it may only cause the fall of many experts and geniuses." Dylan replied showing a dejected expression

"What was the appearance of this old man?" The next one was the Grand Elder of the Alchemy Academy to critically imquire about this matter.

"I am sorry but I cannot reveal that due to client confidentiality." Dylan simply stated.

"What does the vial contain?" Veronica asked bewitchingly without her even trying due to the tenderness of her voice.

"According to the client, it might be possible that it contains the blood of a Demonic Beast God!" Dylan revealed in a deep voice.

"What?! The blood of a Demonic Beast God?!" Everyone was flabbergasted by what they heard!

A Demonic Beast God is an existence of myths and is said to be strong enough to dominate the entire Great Mystic World! Legend has it that once an Immortal level Beast successfully endures the Heavenly Tribulation, it would be able to transform to a Demonic Beast God.

There were even some ancient records that were preserved since time immemorial that states that several eons ago. The Great Mystic World was a world which was governed by the Demonic Beast Gods!

"Are you sure with this claim of his?" Cobra was able to recover his senses and quickly asked Dylan.

"I am not. I have yet to let this item be appraised since I did not want anyone to divulge any relevant information about the contents my auction for the past weel. I am just telling you the exact words he told me when he gave me this vial." Dylan stated.

"The vial does look ancient but I can't seem to feel any pressure from the blood you are holding." Vice Head Garet pointed out some details.

"According to him, only beasts are able to feel the pressure of the blood." Dylan quoted once more.

"Really now? Any beast should be fine right? How about my contract beast?" Veronica offered.

"If it would not be too much of an inconvenience to, Miss Vlad. I would deeply appreaciate it. Dylan politely spoke.

"Well said." A smile emerged under Veronica's veil as she lightly whistled.

*Whistle*

A few moments after, a figure appeared in the sky and was moving towards the Soaring Garden Territory! Then, a shadow appeared on the middle of the road near the block of the auction and was constantly getting larger. The passing citizens circled around the large shadow in order to avoid a disaster. A moment after, a loud crashing sound resounded.

*Crash* *Bang*

Once the dust settled, it revealed a large red liger that was over 4 meters tall and 7 meters big in the middle of a dilapidated road! It's eyes contained ferociousness and brutality that was ready to commit murder! Its large white teeth seemed as though they could easily drill through any human skull! It's muscles seemed as though they were alive yet looked as if it was harder than steel! It was a Mortal Moulting Realm- Slaughtering King Liger!

"GRAAAAAAWR!" The Slaughtering King Liger roared as though it desired to cause a massacre!

"What a fearsome beast." The crowd gulped a mouthful of saliva from the oprresive pressure that the beast king was emitting.

Veronica jumped from the third floor and appeared next to her companion in the blink of an eye. She rubbed the lower chin and the forehead of the tiger with her hands as she said, "Oh, Tina! Did you miss, mommy? Who's a good girl?"

"Rawr~." Shockingly, the terrifying looking tiger appeared to become docile and adorable as it showed as let out a satisfied moan. It even sat with its bat and started wiggling its tail like kitten.

"Gahh.." The crowd was dumbfounded by this scene! They did not expect the fearsome beast that was ready to kill a moment ago was now behaving cutely in front of this woman.

"To think she could actually tame a beast as powerful as that..." Asiel and the other geniuses present felt threatened by her existence once they got too see firsthand how amazing she is.

'She is even more fearsome than the beast. She actually tamed that? Women really are terrifying.' Dylan though to himself not daring to wantonly speak.

After playing with her 'pet' for a while, Veronica turned around and said, "She's ready now. Try opening the vial. Let's see what happens."

"Okay." Dylan nodded readily. He picked the vial from the treasure chest

"It looks like you are rather calm about this. I initially though that you would feel nervous considering the uncertainty of the item." Veronica spoke.

"Well, it is true that I am nervous but I am ready no matter what the outcome. Similar to everyone, I am also hoping that this is actually authentic. Like what you have said earlier, let's see what happens." He calmly uttered with a smile. Although he stated he was uncertain about this item, he still exuded confidence which felt like he knew that the item was real.

The truth was this was a drop of blood that came from Rian when the puppy accidentaly bit his tongue from eating. When Rian spat blood on his already empty plate, the very next moment his wound healed. This shocked Dylan even more and became curious about Rian's origins.

Although Dylan was unsure about Rian's Origin, he was certain that Rian being related with the Cosmic God Mansion meant that his identity would at least be at the Immortal Rank! He also knew how absurdly broken Rian's strength was so he made a bet that this would need be a real treasure!

'It is definitely authentic! I am sure of it!' Dylan continuously repeated in his mind.

"Well, said." Veronica was amused by Dylan's words and also had the similar anticipation that Dylan had in his eyes.

Without delay, Dylan opened the vial. The moment it was opened, Slaughter King Liger who was nestling her head on Veronica's palm suddenly stood straight. Its' eyes instantly became blood shot and it opened it's mouth salivating!

"Tina?" Veronica looked oddly at her contract beast and called. But, it did not react and was really fixated with the vial of Rian's blood. It was as though... it had lost any reason to think!

The next moment it brushed Veronica aside and leaped towards Dylan who was holding the opened vial like a true wild beast!

"What?!" Veronica and her uncle was most shocked about this since they knew how obedient Tina was to her.

The crowd started to panic and began screaming like crazy!

"Ahhhh! It's coming!"

"The beast is going to eat us all!"

"Run for your lives!"

"The beast has lost reason! Restrain it!" Azelmek was the first to react. He, Sheldon and Allen quickly appeared in front of Dylan's side and created an energy barrier to black the onslaught of the liger.

"Evil Subduing Cube." Simultaneously, they called out a box like treasure which successfully sealed the beast.

The crowd rejoiced when they saw the beast was restrained:

"Woah! We're saved!"

"Hurray! The beast was sealed!"

"Amazing! Thank you for saving us, my Lords!"

While the crowd was rejoicing, the Top 20 supersects were astonished.

"A single droplet of blood caused a Mortal Severing Beast to act like this?!" Romero Thunder did not expect that to happen!

"A Mortal Severing Beast already has an intelligence comparable to a human and has intrepid minds yet it was actually forced to go berserk?!" Vice Head Garet was perturbed by what just transpired.

"Inconceivable! This blood actually might be a Mid or evn a High Heaven Rank Treasure!" Cobra who was detached and indifferent all throughout the auction had a startled look on his face.

...

Somewhere underground of Thunder Clouds City...

A dashing middle aged man with a long straight black hair wearing a dark robe was sitting cross-legged when he suddenly opened his eyes! Those eyes reflected the dark night sky vast and... incomparably mystical!

He stood up and he released an aura that was nearing the Immortal Saint Realm!

He soared as his robes fluttered and at his back was a sown insignia of the Night Grand Clan! This man was none other than the founder of the Night Grand Clan and the cultivater feared as the Madman of the Night, Shadow Night!

"To think it would actually appear here! Hahahahaha! Merlin was right after all! The blood of an Immortal Rank Beast, the blood of a Demonic Beast God is mine!"
