"If I didn't know, I wouldn't have placed a bid." Su Ming's gaze moved away from the transparent mountain rock and fell on the Enlightenment Gathering Tribe member dressed in a long black and white robe.
The thin man from Enlightenment Gathering Tribe stared at Su Ming with a dark look on his face. He did not have a lot of stone coins on him, and he did not have any specific item he wanted when he came here. He did not expect to run into this mountain rock here!
The moment he saw the item, the excitement in his heart surpassed that of the countless people in the auction hall. What made him even more ecstatic was that this item was incredibly rare. It was impossible for anyone else to know of its origins. Only he knew of its use!
He had originally thought that it would be easy for him to obtain this item, and the mountain rock's starting price was not high either. This made him excited, and at the same time, he could not suppress his anticipation and desire.
Yet … halfway through his journey, Su Ming appeared out of nowhere!
One million was his limit. He did not have any more stone coins to buy this item. Even if his desire for this item had reached an indescribable level, the shyness in his pockets caused his eyes to gradually turn bloodshot.
"He's lying! Sir, I am the only one who knows what this item is! No one else besides me knows! "the Enlightenment Gathering Tribe member shouted towards the people around him.
Yet most of the people around him ignored him. Even those who looked towards him would have their eyes sparkling, and no one could tell what they were thinking.
"Auctioneer from the ninth room, since there is someone who doubts that you don't know what this item is, then I will give you a chance. Tell me what this item is!" A calm voice traveled forth. The person who spoke was not the mysterious owner of the mountain rock, but the blue-haired old man who hosted the auction.
A glint appeared in the blue-haired old man's eyes as he spoke languidly, "If you can't answer, then you will have to give up on the chance to place a bid to show fairness!"
"Oh? Could it be that all those who want to buy this item have to say what it is in front of everyone in the auction hall? "Su Ming cast a glance at the blue-haired old man with a ghost of a smile on his face.
"That's right, this is the rule!" The blue-haired old man swept his gaze past Su Ming and nodded.
The breathing of the tribesman from Di Luo Tribe quickened at that moment. For this mountain rock, he had already offended Su Ming. In his mind, if he immediately left once he obtained this item, then he might be able to rush back to the tribe before anyone found him.
"This rule is a little unfair. If I say it and someone else offers a price, won't they be able to copy my words and identify the item? "If it's possible, it's only fair for Western Sea Clan to bid against him and me, unless there's no one else who can make a bid. "I'll also tell you where this item came from. If you manage to buy it in the end, you don't need to send it to me after the auction ends. I want to take it away on the spot," Su Ming said unhurriedly.
The blue-haired old man sneered inwardly. "Fine," he said in a low voice. "No one bid for this item before. Since that's the case, I won't accept bids from others. Right now, only the two of you can obtain this item. If you can obtain it, you can take it away."
"This is indeed a Soul in the Stone, but the most important thing is not the small black person inside, but the mountain itself. By using a special method, it can make one's Qi and blood stronger and nourish the mind, making it easier to meditate during cultivation.
"As for the small black humanoid inside, it was formed after the mountain rock absorbed the filthy aura from the world. This thing is poisonous, but it won't be fatal, but it will affect the growth of a person's level of cultivation. You will need to use a unique method to bring it out. If you bring it out recklessly, it will only bring you more harm than good!" Su Ming stated flatly, and his voice traveled through the entire auction hall.
"You're lying! You're wrong! " The member of Enlightenment Gathering Tribe immediately roared loudly and glared at Su Ming. Hatred appeared in his eyes, but that hatred came out of nowhere. He had a feeling that Su Ming was doing this on purpose to prevent him from obtaining the item.
A smile appeared on Su Ming's face. He did not care about people who could not hide their emotions. He only cared about those who did not show their emotions on their faces and could not tell what they were thinking.
Su Ming looked at the member of Enlightenment Gathering Tribe and asked, "I'm done. Now, it's your turn. What is this item?"
The blue-haired old man's face was dark, but he could not blame Su Ming. After all, he did not know what this item was either.
"Since you're certain that the person in the ninth room is lying, then you can tell me what this item is right here. I can tell you that the person who brought this item to be auctioned is right here!
"If you're satisfied with what you say, then perhaps that person will change his mind." The blue-haired old man looked at the thin member of Enlightenment Gathering Tribe.
"This item …" The member of Enlightenment Gathering Tribe was speechless for a long time. He did not know what to say. If he told the truth, then forget about whether he would be able to obtain this item, just the dangers he would face on his way would be enough to kill him. In fact, there was even a high possibility that he would bring disaster to the tribe once he returned.
Yet if he did not say anything and watched as the item was bought by Su Ming, he would not be able to accept it.
As he stared at Su Ming, a sinister smile suddenly appeared on the corners of the member of Enlightenment Gathering Tribe's lips.
"This item is called the Magnetic Abyss Stone. It's the exact opposite of what you said. The key to this item is not the mountain rock on the outside, but the small black humanoid inside. This small humanoid is called a Stone Phantom. It was formed naturally by absorbing the aura from the earth. Its greatest use is to store it within the body. Once you refine it, you can increase your power slightly, but its greatest use is to use the methods of Enlightenment Gathering Tribe to carve it into a treasure to protect yourself!
"This treasure will be refined along with your life, and you can die in my place once!" As his words were spoken, the auction hall immediately fell silent. Gazes were trained on the transparent mountain rock, and as they shone, all sorts of expressions appeared on their faces.
"I don't have the ability to buy this item, and I don't want to buy it either. If you like it, you can buy it. I'd like to see just how you'll be able to keep yourself safe with a treasure that can die in your place once!
"Besides, without the unique methods of Enlightenment Gathering Tribe, this item is completely useless!" The thin middle-aged man laughed eerily and sat down.
He was secretly pleased with himself for doing the right thing. His words, along with his act of giving up on the stone, made it even more convincing. However, he did not expect that he had forgotten that his words had not only offended Su Ming alone.
In fact, Su Ming was secondary. The person he offended was the mysterious person who brought this item to the auction. That person was the main target!
Perhaps it would be difficult for the people in the land of Freezing Sky to search for this mysterious auctioneer, but it would be incredibly easy for Western Sea Clan. Besides, this person was in the auction hall. If Western Sea Clan believed in his words, then this person would immediately be in a bad situation.
Uncertainty appeared on Su Ming's face. He looked at the mountain rock, then at the man from Enlightenment Gathering Tribe, then shook his head.
"Perhaps I was wrong about this item. If it's really as effective as you said, then I'll give up on this item. This sort of treasure can no longer be considered a treasure, it's a disaster that will cost me my life." Su Ming sighed.
The instant Su Ming's words left his mouth, the man from Enlightenment Gathering Tribe was momentarily stunned. Soon, his expression changed, and he suddenly understood that there was something wrong with his words.
At the same time, there was a man in black robes wearing a bamboo hat among the crowd in the auction hall. At that moment, his face was incredibly dark. He instinctively clenched his right hand, lifted his head, and killing intent appeared in his eyes. That killing intent was not directed towards Su Ming, but towards the thin man from Enlightenment Gathering Tribe.
He was the person who had contacted Western Sea Clan to bring out the mountain rock. At that moment, his hatred towards this man from Enlightenment Gathering Tribe had reached a boiling point. This was the same as pushing him into a difficult position, and if he made the slightest mistake, he would not be able to walk out of Western Sea Clan's temporary tribe.
He could even feel the strange look in the blue-haired old man's eyes when he occasionally swept his gaze towards him.
"Nonsense!" The man stood up swiftly and floated in midair. His voice was like thunder that spread through the air.
"I was the one who brought this item to Western Sea Clan to be auctioned off. I've had this item for many years, and I've asked a lot of people about it. I might not have a detailed answer, but this item is definitely not some Magnetic Serene Stone. It's just as my tribesman from the ninth room said, it only has one name, and that is Soul in Stone!
"Sir from Enlightenment Gathering Tribe, I won't let you off just because you said those words and tried to harm me with evil intentions! I'd like to see just how Enlightenment Gathering Tribe will explain what happened today before all the people in the land of Freezing Sky! " The man took off his bamboo hat and revealed a boorish face. He had no choice but to do this. If he still hid his face, then it would be even more difficult for him to explain what had happened.
"Everyone has seen my face, there's nothing for me to hide. Enlightenment Gathering Tribe, once the auction ends, I'll invite Western Sea Clan to be my witness. We'll go together and see whether what you said is true or false!
"If it's false, then you'll have to give me a satisfactory explanation!" There was anger on the boorish man's face. Once he said those words, he looked towards Su Ming, and the anger on his face disappeared.
"My tribesman from the ninth room told me about the specific uses of this item, but there are some details that I didn't know about before. Now, I finally know all of them.
"My tribesman, thank you for telling me the true uses of this item. I'll keep my promise, and I will definitely not lie to you. You bought this item for 1,000,000 stone coins, and I'll give you 1,000,000 stone coins as well as the black crystal that I promised you!" As he spoke, he immediately brought out a bag from his bosom and flung it towards Su Ming. Once Su Ming caught it, the man turned around and returned to his seat with a sullen look on his face.
He felt his heart clench in pain, but he had to do this. If he did not give the mountain rock and the other items to Su Ming, then the persuasiveness of his words would be even lesser.
At that moment, everyone saw him giving the mountain rock and the other items to Su Ming. It could be seen that while he was being magnanimous, he had also made other preparations. If what the person from Enlightenment Gathering Tribe said was true and there was someone who could share his burden, then Western Sea Clan's target would shift to that person.
Su Ming took the bag and cast a glance at it before putting it away in his bosom. He smiled and wrapped his fist in his palm towards the man, then brought out enough stone coins. Once he handed them to Zi Che, he pointed towards the mountain rock in the auction hall.
"That item belongs to me now. Zi Che, bring it to me."
Zi Che turned into a long arc and charged towards the center of the auction hall. With a wave of his arm, he brought the item back to the auction hall. "To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com and vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation. "
