"Two billion divine crystals is truly too much to pay for ordinary gods..."
Austin murmured to himself.
Nonetheless, the sky-high price was only a drop in the bucket for him.
After all, the sky-devouring dog had given him a large number of treasures when he left the Fallen Divine Valley.
Additionally, he had killed so many gods lately, which included numerous premium-grade divine gods and even Willis, the high-level priest of the Novel Court.
What he usually did was to take all the properties of those gods he had killed.
Therefore, the wealth he had amassed was, of course, nearly immeasurable.
Two billion divine crystals were equivalent to a penny for him!
"Ha-ha, two billion divine crystals, right? It doesn't matter. I can afford it.
Ha! You poor fellows should give up. Don't dream about having an ice maiden when you do not have the money. You are just like toads trying to impress a swan."
"That's right. You guys, get out of here if you don't have the money. Don't bother us here."
When most of the creatures thought that the ice maiden was too expensive, some rich young men who came from influential backgrounds laughed and mocked them.
"Well, now the auction has begun.
Remember, the price will increase by one thousand divine crystals for every bid,"
the old beast on the platform announced loudly and silenced all the chatter in the area.
As soon as the beast finished speaking, two masters of the beast race came forward and escorted a tall, slender woman with a slim waist and delicate face to the center of the platform.
The woman wore thin clothes in such a cold environment like the Ice Palace. She was barely covered, and it made her look quite alluring.
However, she looked very anxious and distressed.
Anger burned in her bright, beguiling eyes.
Though unwilling as she was, several thick iron chains bound her delicate body. There were also a few rune papers attached to her, which subdued and rendered her motionless.
"Ladies and gentlemen, whoever is interested to auction, just name your price!"
the old beast on the platform said loudly.
"Two billion and one thousand divine crystals!"
Soon enough, some creatures began to bid.
"Two billion and two thousand divine crystals!"
As time passed, the prices kept rising.
More than two billion divine crystals were a substantial amount for ordinary gods, but some powerful creatures could easily afford the price.
When the price finally got jacked up to two billion and one hundred million divine crystals, the ice maiden on the platform ended up being bought by a young man in yellow.
Three premium-grade divine gods and a large group of guards stood behind the young man in yellow as his bodyguards.
It was clear that he came from a strong background.
In the next moment, another ice maiden was taken to the stage for auction.
These ice maidens were all bound and subdued. They could not move at all or even speak.
"Leader, when shall we do something?"
the white-haired premium-grade divine god whispered to Austin.
"Wait a little longer, until the auction reaches its climax. It's not too late for us to make a sudden move by then.
Anyway, we are not in a hurry,"
Austin replied.
The sun had just passed its peak when the first auction came to a close.
Half a day later, the auction for the low-level ice maidens was finally over.
Then, the auction for the middle-level ones began.
A middle-level ice maiden was better than a low-level ice maiden in appearance, temperament, and cultivation base.
These middle-level ice maidens came with a starting price of ten billion divine crystals.
Of course, the high cost naturally reduced the number of creatures qualified to participate in the auction.
Another half a day later, the auction for middle-level ice maidens was also over.
Then, the auction for high-level ice maidens took place.
Among the three levels of ice maidens, the high-level ones were the fewest.
There were only one hundred of them.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the auction for high-level ice maidens begins now.
The starting price is one hundred billion divine crystals!"
the old beast on the platform declared.
