Guan Wan-Shan said, "I believe that everyone here has already guessed the origin of this thing, so I won't waste any more time explaining it. The truth is, this stone has been in our warehouse for hundreds of years, and no one has figured out the true value and usage of this meteorite … If any of you like it, please feel free to bid for it. There is no reserve price for this item. The auction starts now."
Unexpectedly, the crowd turned silent right after he finished talking.
This was because everyone knew about the origin of the Cosmic Hades.
There was no doubt that this was a very strange meteorite. No one could deny that this meteorite had a considerable value. Saying that it was a rare treasure was an understatement. Just its mysteriousness alone made it worth it.
However, after three thousand years, nobody had ever been able to use this stone!
It couldn't be cut open.
It couldn't be broken.
It couldn't be refined.
There was nothing that could be done about this strange stone that was releasing cold air every day.
If it was only that, it might not be a bad thing for it to keep releasing cold air. Even if it couldn't do anything else, it could at least cool down the heat or make some cold drinks. Although it was a bit overkill, it was still useful!
However, the most fatal thing was … the cold air that this stone emitted was extraordinary. It was extremely cold, and it had a strong attacking power. Even a Sky Origin Stage cultivator wouldn't be able to bear it if he was exposed to this kind of cold air every day. As time went by, not only would his cultivation deteriorate, but his bodily functions would also be affected irreparably!
Everybody knew the value of this stone. If it could be developed, it would undoubtedly be an unparalleled weapon!
However, the problem was …
Who could develop it?
How could they develop it?
In the past three thousand years, countless researchers had tried to study this stone, but none of them had found anything useful.
Because of its extremely cold nature, many people had died directly or indirectly. As time went by, nobody showed interest in it anymore. Even strangers didn't want to get close to it.
So when they saw this stone, nobody said a word.
Nobody said a word, so the crowd naturally became silent.
Guan Wan-Shan was standing on the stage, but he wasn't in a hurry.
This time, it was different from the first auction of the Xuan Yu Ruyi. The Xuan Yu Ruyi wouldn't lose face if it was sold, but it was reasonable and expected that nobody would bid for it!
In fact, the Spiritual Treasure sect had only invited this thing to go through the motions and try their luck.
If no one wanted it, he would just use it as a prop to clear everyone's minds.
In fact, the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion was also quite troubled by this matter.
This kind of useless thing was really too useless. It was so useless that it made people sick of it!
This was also the reason why many of the people who knew the inside story had strange expressions on their faces.
Because there was a story behind the relationship between the Cosmic Hades and the Spiritual Treasure sect.
When Wan Zheng-Hao, the owner of the Ling-Bao Hall, had just started his business, he had some money, but he didn't have any treasures to protect his business. That was why he had been living in an awkward situation where he was half dead.
Until one day.
The meteorite appeared out of nowhere, and it had such a weird property. Everybody was confused about it. Wan Zheng-Hao was sensitive enough to realize that it might be an opportunity for him. He was a tough guy, so he spent eighty percent of his money to buy the meteorite.
After that, he used the name of the meteorite to expand the fame of his auction house.
And from then on, the four words "Cosmic Hades" were spread.
However, the meteorite was rare enough, and the name of the Ling-Bao Hall became famous because of it.
However, what surprised everybody was that … after the meteorite was auctioned a few times, the buyer always gave it back.
Up until now, in these three thousand years, this stone had been sold dozens of times. In the end, it was still returned by the buyer without exception!
For over two hundred years, the meteorite had been kept in the auction house for dozens of times, and the buyer always gave it back!
The meteorite that was bought by the auction house with a lot of money was never sold!
This had become a very funny joke …
For the Ling-Bao Hall, the Cosmic Hades was the treasure of the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion. It was the origin of its fame, but it was also useless.
That was why the owner of the Cosmic Hades would ask the owner to take it out in every big auction.
It was called 'looking for the destined one'.
In fact, everybody knew that the owner of the Cosmic Hades wanted to sell it as soon as possible.
The owner of the Cosmic Hades had just started his business, and he needed it as a gimmick. So he spent all his money to buy it …
What he wanted was to make a name for himself.
That day, the owner of the Cosmic Hades won the bet, and he earned a lot!
But now, it was no longer useful.
This was especially true now that his title had become a laughing stock, a burden.
The biggest help in the past had become the biggest joke now. Life was full of irony …
However, the meteorite could not be thrown away. It could not even be hidden, because the whole world knew that it belonged to the Ling-Bao Hall. The only way to deal with it was to auction it off in front of everyone.
Since it was bought, it had to be sold, right?
But it just couldn't be sold.
There was no such destined one!
That was the most troublesome part of it all.
Guan Wan-Shan was speechless when he saw the big boss give him this thing again. He was extremely depressed.
Just when Guan Wan-Shan was about to send it back, thinking that the auction was going to go through again, he heard Master Feng's voice from the No.17 private room, "Five million!"
However, unlike before, this time, Guan Wan-Shan's feelings towards Master Feng were filled with kindness and gratitude.
Even when Feng Zhi-Ling brought him the Heaven Grade Dan beads, he was not so touched.
[Oh my god, you are such a good man. You have finally solved my problem.
I know you will send it back later, but you have solved my problem. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Brother Feng!]
Everyone looked at Booth Number 17 as if he was a fool. Could it be that this guy had never heard of the origin of this Cosmic Hades?
He actually wants to buy it for five million?
Even when Wan Zheng-Hao spent all his money to buy it, he didn't spend so much money.]
[For thousands of years, it has been sold for dozens of times, and it has never been sold at such a high price!]
[This guy is really a fool with a lot of money …]
Just now, I actually thought that I was taken advantage of by him. It must be a misunderstanding, it must be an illusion!
The white-clothed girl who was addressed as' Eldest Lady 'frowned and pondered for a moment. At that moment, she actually had the urge to bid for the stone, but she immediately suppressed that thought.
[Since I have built a grudge with this guy, it is better not to cause any more trouble at this moment.]
[Besides, my young master's physical condition is not suitable for such a stone which is emitting the cold qi of the Cosmic Hades.]
[It is just a stone with a strange origin. There is no need to be emotional!]
…
Different from the others, Ye Xiao's heart was filled with excitement, excitement that he had never felt before.
In the beginning, Ye Xiao only wanted to buy some supreme medical materials or treasures to fill the Space and provide energy for it. He wasn't interested in anything other than treasures, especially strange things like the Cosmic Hades.
However … the moment the Cosmic Hades suddenly appeared and the extremely cold air suddenly rose, the Boundless Space in his body suddenly trembled!
Immediately after, an extremely urgent feeling of longing was emitted from the Space!
The degree of thirst this time was even … more intense than when he had obtained the Pure Heavenly Crystal!
Ye Xiao was startled by the sudden change!
He could even feel the eagerness of the Cosmic Hades!
[What is going on?]
Could it be that the meteorite from the "Cosmic Hades" was actually comparable to the Heavenly Crystal Essence, or perhaps even better? At the very least, it was something that had great use for the space.
Because of this, Ye Xiao didn't hesitate and made a sky-high bid of five million!
Because he knew that this Cosmic Hades, which seemed to be useless in the eyes of others, could possibly be a huge change for him!
It could even be related to his future!
This sky-high price was definitely worth it, and it was worth it, or even cheap!
After Ye Xiao made the sky-high bid, nobody responded for a long time, except for Guan Wan-Shan's three bids.
The Cosmic Hades had actually entered Ye Xiao's pocket just like that.
In the No.7 compartment, the girl in cyan clothes stared at the Cosmic Hades that was falling down. Her beautiful eyes flashed with a faint light. She turned around and said, "Go check who is in the No.17 compartment. What is his background and what is his identity?"
A middle-aged woman behind her said yes and stood up. When she was about to leave, the girl in cyan clothes suddenly stopped and said, "Wait!"
Because at this moment, there was a special sound coming from the outside.
At the moment when the girl in cyan clothes gave the order —
In the No.2 compartment.
It was the compartment of the Ling-Yun Pavilion.
The Prime Master of the Ling-Yun Pavilion, Xiao Mo-Yan's eyes flashed and he said blandly, "This man … is definitely not stupid. But, why? Does he have a way to move the Cosmic Hades? "
The other man in the room was the chief dan-maker of the Ling-Yun Pavilion, Shi Yue. He thought for a while and said, "This man is indeed extraordinary. Today, he has taken all the initiative in the auction. Besides, he has taken advantage of the fact that the supreme dan beads have not been used yet and everybody has to keep their strength. He has taken all the good stuff in one fell swoop. He is already a big winner in today's meeting … "
Xiao Mo-Yan's eyes flashed and he said blandly, "What I care about is something else. This man … doesn't seem to care about the supreme dan beads …"
