Chapter 197: The Bodhi King Fruit Showdown with Surprises (1)
"Good morning, distinguished guests and all friends of Jiulongling! Welcome everyone! Today is the second day of the Bodhi Betting Conference. The more exciting Bodhi Fruit King Showdown is about to begin. First of all, let me introduce today's referee!" With the gorgeous fireworks and Madam Qianling's infectious introduction, the scene became more lively and people's emotions were instantly raised to the peak. Cheers and applause were continuous, shaking the entire valley.
From Madam Qian Ling's introduction, Yun Bai discovered that in addition to the nine heavyweight referees yesterday, three more high-level appraisal masters from the World Alliance Appraisal Department were added today. Compared to the Bodhi King Fruit, which has already made many big names sit still, the participation of the World Alliance, on the one hand, shows support for Jiulongling, and on the other hand, it actually hopes to get some of the best fruit kings first.
Yun Bai also noticed that there seemed to be more spectators today than yesterday. As he was looking around, he heard old man Lu Liang, who was not far away from him, explain: "The Old Tree King is so attractive. Nearly 20,000 people came last night. I estimate that a large part of them came for the afternoon auction. These people are all big money sponsors! Of course, thanks to the extensive coverage of the Alliance Activities Department, Jiulongling is even more famous this time!" Looking at his smiling face, Yun Bai knew without guessing that the Kowloon Gang must have benefited greatly this time.
This was also confirmed in the chat between Lv Juan and her. After the first round of competition yesterday, more than 106 representatives of businesses or collectors came to visit the Kowloon Gang. Lv Wang led his people to receive them throughout the whole process and sent them away one by one until nightfall. This night alone, the Kowloon Gang received 26 orders, of which half of the orders were worth more than low-grade spirit coins, and orders were worth more than one million! This is higher than their turnover in the past ten years combined! They really made a lot of money this time! At this point, Lv Juan couldn't help but thank Yun Bai and Mu Yun again. She was sincere and not polite, and her grandfather Lv Liang had quietly prepared a generous thank-you gift for Yun Bai and the others.
"Today's competition will only have one round, that is, the nine contestants will each select nine Bodhi King Fruits from the Bodhi King to participate in the evaluation, and will still be ranked according to the estimated total value. In the end, the top three will not only receive generous bonuses, but also the right to represent Jiulongling for five years! Enough of small talk, now the competition officially begins! Please welcome Wang Guo to the stage!"
In order to show respect to the old tree king and to further enhance the atmosphere, today's round of competition also specially added a segment of the king fruit. Nine guards of honor were seen slowly entering the venue, each carrying a golden dragon-patterned square plate. On the square plate, there were nine dark golden-red, longan-sized oval-shaped Bodhi fruits. Although they were much smaller than the previous fruits, they were shining brightly and their spiritual power was so rich that it was almost condensed into substance. It was obvious at a glance that they were extraordinary products. Many people who knew the goods suddenly brightened their eyes and stared at the Bodhi fruits closely, with a fiery light in their eyes, as if they could really see what treasures were inside.
As the nine honor guards slowly advanced, the Bodhi trees surrounding the venue all began to emit a faint reddish glow, as if they were worshipping their ancestors. Without any wind, they moved their crowns slightly toward the honor guards!
For a moment, everyone in the venue was shocked and infected by this strange phenomenon, and they all stood up in awe. Yun Bai was the first to stand up and saluted in the direction where Wang Guo was walking. Then came Mu Yun, Xiaohua and a few others, and then Lu Liang and the 3,000 members of the Kowloon Gang. Immediately, a chain reaction was triggered, and nearly 300,000 people in the venue stood up and saluted the Old Tree King!
From ancient times to the present, humans have enjoyed unique advantages, so they often regard themselves as the leaders of all spirits. In the eyes of many people, spiritual cultivation is a lower level than them, and those spiritual plants and beasts that have not transformed into humans are even less valued by them. But in fact, apart from other things, the Ten Thousand Souls Wood Ancestor and the Bodhi Tree King that Yun Bai had seen were both transcendent beings that had survived for hundreds of thousands of years. Whether in terms of life form or cultivation realm, they have surpassed any human in this world. Even if they were asked to pay homage to them, it would not be too much, let alone a small courtesy like standing up to salute them.
However, despite this, today's ceremony and actions have greatly won the recognition of the Old Tree King and all the spiritual plants and beasts in Jiulong Ridge. They all responded enthusiastically to the human greetings in their own way. During this period, Yun Bai actually felt a wonderful energy that she had never felt before quietly born. She knew that this might be a mysterious existence similar to "popularity" and "willpower", an energy of a higher level than spiritual power and soul power, and it is also the power of righteousness that is nurtured after the resonance of all living beings in this world!
She tried to absorb this energy by absorbing "popularity", but she didn't expect it to work! Just a little bit of energy entered her great universe, and instantly lit up 300 small spirit stars! This effect scared Yun Bai! She couldn't miss the opportunity, so she quickly accelerated the absorption speed, and then, until the nine guards of honor walked onto the central stand and were solemnly placed on the stands, and everyone sat down again, the power gradually disappeared. Yun Bai almost couldn't help laughing out loud - in less than ten minutes, she lit up nearly 30,000 small spirit stars!
"Next, I'll see if my guess is right..." Yun Bai happily admired the little spiritual star she had just lit, while casting her eyes on the nine Vajra Bodhi King Fruits on the ninth booth. These nine fruits were chosen by Lv Liang. At first, she refused, after all, her choice was of great importance, but Lv Liang and the twenty or so core members of the Kowloon Gang who were present sincerely insisted on asking her for help, and told her in advance that no matter what the result was, they would only be grateful to Yun Bai and would never complain. Even Xiao Hua asked Yun Bai not to be polite, so she agreed.
Because Yun Bai could see the hazy light ball on the Bodhi fruit, and through yesterday's test, she had found some patterns, and today was the time to verify whether the patterns were true! If her idea was true, then it might really cause a small sensation next!
