"Brother Kang Jiu, I've come to bother you again. I was slightly delayed on the way here and came late. I hope you don't mind." Yu Chen Hai laughed and wrapped his fist in his palm towards the man walking towards him.
"It's fine, it's fine. Brother Chen Hai, your presence brings light to our humble abode. Who is this? " The man's smile was very hearty and boorish, but in truth, he was a very meticulous person. He changed the topic and looked towards Su Ming.
When he saw Su Ming, his expression remained the same, but he was on guard in his heart. Based on the positions of Su Ming and the others, he could immediately tell that Su Ming was clearly the leader of the Yu Family.
The veiled Yu Rou by Su Ming's side also made the man even more curious towards Su Ming's identity.
"Senior Su is a guest of the Yu Family. Brother Kang Jiu, you should know that I will be hosting my family's auction for the first time in a few days, that's why I came here with you to observe the auction. If there are any items that catch your fancy, I hope you can help us," Yu Chen Hai said with a smile.
"Greetings, senior Su. I am Lie Shan Kang Jiu, a guest of the Yu Family." The man's expression immediately became stern. He took two steps back and wrapped his fist in his palm to bow towards Su Ming. His expression was incredibly sincere.
Su Ming looked at the man before him. The man's thick and sturdy body might have looked incredibly uncoordinated in other people's eyes, but in Su Ming's eyes, he could not help but find it familiar. This was the body of a Berserker, and it was a rough build that belonged to those who possessed the blood of the Berserker Tribe.
'He has surpassed the Berserker Soul Realm … 'Su Ming could tell with just one glance that the man was in the middle stage of World Plane Realm, but he did not practice the cultivation method of a cultivator. Instead … he practiced the Berserker Art that was filled with a vast amount of Qi and blood.
In fact, Su Ming could even see nine hundred something blood veins hidden on the man's body, along with his Berserker Mark. However, others would not be able to see it, but in Su Ming's eyes, everything about the man could be seen clearly.
'With fire as a Mark, 'Su Ming said in his heart. Su Ming averted his gaze and spoke in his heart. He might not have spoken, but that one glance just now had caused Lie Shan Kang Jiu's heart to tremble violently. His expression instantly changed drastically, and shock and astonishment appeared in his eyes. That one glance from Su Ming had made him feel as if he had been completely naked, and all his secrets had been seen through by Su Ming.
This was not what shocked him the most. In fact, he was in slight disbelief. When Su Ming looked at him, the blood veins in his body went out of control, as if they were about to explode out of his body. The hidden Berserker Mark also showed signs of appearing.
When Su Ming looked at him, Lie Shan Kang Jiu felt his breathing freeze, and his body trembled faintly. He felt as if his blood was boiling, and he wanted to worship Su Ming. He had only experienced this powerful feeling once in his life, and this … was the second time!
The first time he had felt something like this was when he saw the Patriarch of the clan. When the Patriarch had looked at him, his mind had trembled.
"You are very good." Su Ming said calmly. He did not mean it on purpose, but there was an awe-inspiring and ancient air to his tone, as if he was a senior who had just seen a promising junior.
After all … he was the God of Berserkers!
He was the God of all Berserkers.
Lie Shan Kang Jiu instinctively lowered his head, and respect appeared on his face. However, he soon registered what was going on, and his heart immediately trembled violently. He did not dare look into Su Ming's eyes.
"Let's go and take a look at … the first generation's auction hall." Su Ming smiled faintly. He was very happy and walked in front.
It did not matter whether it was Yu Chen Hai or Lie Shan Kang Jiu, neither of them understood what he meant, but they instinctively followed behind him. It was especially so for Lie Shan Kang Jiu. When he looked at Su Ming, there was great respect in his eyes, and he was incredibly polite along the way as he led the way.
Before long, Lie Shan Kang Jiu brought Su Ming and the others to one of the pavilions and said respectfully, "Senior Su, Lie Shan Family's auction hall has a ring-shaped hall, and there are also pavilions that belong to each family. This is Yu Family's pavilion."
Su Ming did not look at Yu Family's pavilion. Instead, he lifted his head and looked towards another pavilion in the distance.
"Let's go there."
Lie Shan Kang Jiu looked in the direction of Su Ming's gaze, and a troubled look immediately appeared on his face.
"Senior Su, that is a pavilion in Lie Shan Family that is not open to outsiders. This is …"
"Can I?" Su Ming turned his head around and cast Lie Shan Kang Jiu a flat glance.
Lie Shan Kang Jiu instinctively lowered his head. After remaining silent for a moment, he smiled wryly and nodded. There was a great wave of emotions in his heart at that moment, because he noticed that when Su Ming asked whether he could, he … had a feeling that he could not refuse. It was as if there was a suppression in his blood and even his soul, causing him to be unable to act as freely as he did in the past.
It was a form of restraint and a form of awe-inspiring might. This had nothing to do with his level of cultivation, because as one of the people in charge of the auction hall in this place, Lie Shan Kang Jiu had even received old monsters in Solar Kalpa Realm before. He might have been nervous, but he had never felt this completely suppressed. In fact, in the depths of his heart, his blood, and his soul, there was a subconscious urge to obey Su Ming and not fight back.
'Who … Who is he? 'This was the greatest question in Lie Shan Kang Jiu's heart at that moment.
Once Lie Shan Kang Jiu smiled wryly and nodded his head, Su Ming walked towards the room he chose. Yu Chen Hai quickly pushed open the door. It was a very big room. The furnishings might be simple, but there was an air of grandeur about it. The entire wall in the room was an illusion, and with just one glance, Su Ming could see that there was a hall filled with thousands of people outside.
There was a platform at the center, and there was a cultivator in his forties sitting on it. With a smile on his face, he was introducing the items that would be auctioned next to the crowd.
Su Ming stood beside the illusory wall and looked at the bustle outside without a single word. He had chosen this room because when he was looking at the map of the land of Berserkers on the ring-shaped building, he had seen this place where the ninth summit was located.
Lie Shan Kang Jiu cast a wary glance at Su Ming's back, then wrapped his fist in his palm towards Yu Chen Hai and left. Once he left, his expression immediately changed, and he quickly rushed towards where the people of Lie Shan Family were.
'This young man named Su is incredibly strange. I have to report this to the family as soon as possible. This person … has unfathomable depths. He nearly exposed our identities as Berserkers! '
Once Lie Shan Kang Jiu left, Yu Chen Hai stood respectfully by the side of Su Ming's room. When he looked at Su Ming, the respect in his eyes became even stronger. He had naturally seen the change in Lie Shan Kang Jiu, and all of this was due to Su Ming's influence. It naturally caused a lot of guesses to form in Yu Chen Hai's heart.
Yu Rou remained as elegant as ever. She stood by Su Ming's side and watched the bustling auction hall without saying a single word.
As for the bald crane, it completely ignored Su Ming and the others. It was staring straight at the big yellow dog with a look of great interest.
Once the big yellow dog entered the room, its body immediately shuddered, and rainwater splashed all over the place. For some unknown reason, when the bald crane saw that, it immediately felt that the big yellow dog was incredibly mighty.
That was why once the big yellow dog finished shaking its body, the bald crane quickly shone with a dark light and turned into a big black dog. It also started shaking its body like the big yellow dog.
The auction hall was already halfway through, and at that moment, it was in a state of great excitement. Thousands of people might not seem like a lot, since this was just a small auction, but in truth, there was practically a sea of people in the hall.
"I won't say anymore. My fellow Daoists, this auction item is three pieces of Ash Pine Wood from Divine Essence Star Ocean. The starting bid is one hundred thousand crystals!" The middle-aged man on the platform smiled and swung his arm. Immediately, the air behind him distorted, and three women walked out from within. These three women were all incredibly beautiful, and each of them held a blue tray in their hands. On each tray were three white wooden sticks that were as thick as a finger.
An ancient presence spread out from the three wooden sticks. It was incredibly thick, but there was not a hint of decay in them. Instead, there was a flourishing life force within them.
"One hundred and thirty thousand!"
"One hundred and seventy thousand!"
"Two hundred thousand! I'm definitely getting these three Ash Pine Wood!"
"That might not be the case. Ash Pine Wood can allow a woman to not age for three hundred years. I have a use for this sort of treasure. I'll offer three hundred thousand."
Bidding sounds rose and fell, and soon, the price exceeded five hundred thousand. Su Ming looked at the fervor in the auction hall, but his expression did not change in the slightest.
"Only Lie Shan Family's auction hall can bring out Ash Pine Wood in a small auction like this. Almost all the Ash Pine Wood in Black Ink Planet is auctioned off by Lie Shan Family," Yu Chen Hai mumbled to himself by the side.
"What are the effects of this wood?" Su Ming asked faintly.
"Senior Su, this wood doesn't have any special effects. It can only make a woman's face moisturize," Yu Chen Hai quickly said.
"Ash Pine Wood can nourish one's face. If you refine and absorb it, you can extract the power of time within it and fuse it into an Enchanted Vessel to nourish its soul. If you fuse it into your body, you can make your body overflow with life force, but it has no healing properties.
"If you have a large amount of Ash Pine Wood, you can also create the Pure Time Poison. This poison will cause a person to age, and there is no cure for it," Yu Rou said calmly.
Once she said those words, Yu Chen Hai was immediately stunned. He had never heard of Ash Pine Wood having such an effect. As for the Poison of Pervasive Time, he had heard of it before. It was a poison with an incredibly terrifying price, but he did not expect that it would be refined from Ash Pine Wood.
When Yu Rou spoke, the three logs of Ash Pine Wood were already sold for an incredibly high price. The voice of the member of Lie Shan Family, who was the host of the auction, came from the auction hall.
"There are strange things in the world, and they can give birth to strange things. This time, Lie Shan Family's auction has been entrusted by a mysterious person to auction off a unique strange thing in the world that is located in a region within Divine Essence Star Ocean that is practically impossible for cultivators to enter!
"This item should not have been auctioned off here. It should have appeared in a large auction held by Lie Shan Family, but this mysterious person was in a hurry, that's why he appeared here.
Let's not talk further. The starting bid for this item … is one million crystals! " As his words echoed in the air, the auction hall immediately fell silent. Right before everyone's eyes, an old man walked out from the air behind the Lie Shan Family host of the auction.
That old man's bones were incredibly thick. When he walked out, the ground looked as if it was trembling. There was no expression on his face. Once he appeared, he immediately swung his arm, and a statue of about thirty feet tall appeared before him. That statue had two heads. One of them was crying, and the other was smiling. Its entire body was broken, and it looked incredibly ancient.
There was also no sign of life on it. Clearly, it was a dead object, and by the looks of it, it seemed to be caught between an illusion and a corporeal object. It was indistinct.
Su Ming's pupils shrank. (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com and vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
