How powerful was a Celestial King?
Although Duan Ling Tian had temporarily gained strength comparable to a Celestial King through the consumable Royal Grade Celestial Weapon, he could still sense the strength of a Celestial King's Celestial Origin Energy and soul.
How could such a powerhouse be killed by a mere Celestial Talisman?
"Although Celestial Emperors can inscribe Celestial Talismans that can kill Celestial Kings, it's extremely difficult to inscribe Celestial Talismans. Moreover, the inscriber has to be a powerful Celestial Emperor as well."
Upon hearing Duan Lingtian's words, Huang Yuan Fei added, "Based on what I've heard, most of the Celestial Talismans that can kill Celestial Kings are made by titled Celestial Emperors!"
Titled Celestial Emperors!
Duan Lingtian took a deep breath as his eyes widened slightly.
Titled Celestial Emperors were powerful Celestial Emperors who had passed the test of the Title Temple. They were the cream of the crop among Celestial Emperors.
Duan Lingtian had heard about this when he was still in the borderlands.
However, the strongest person in the Southern Heaven Territory seemed to be the Southern Heaven Celestial Lord, the ruler of the Southern Heaven Territory.
Although the Southern Heaven Celestial Lord was a titled Celestial Lord, titled Celestial Lords were considered the cream of the crop among Celestial Lords.
Even the weakest Celestial Emperor was stronger than a titled Celestial Lord.
There were no Celestial Emperors in the Southern Heaven Territory, let alone the cream of the crop among titled Celestial Emperors.
"Moreover, it's said that not all Celestial Kings can be killed by the Celestial Talismans inscribed by titled Celestial Emperors. Those Celestial Kings who can be killed are usually weaker Celestial Kings who have not comprehended the profundities of a law."
Upon hearing Huang Yuan Fei's words, Duan Lingtian finally understood what was going on.
If that was the case, he could accept it. Otherwise, it would be too ridiculous.
After all, how could a Celestial King be killed by a Celestial Talisman?
"4,300 prominent Celestial Crystals!"
"4,500 prominent Celestial Crystals!"
…
While Duan Ling Tian and Huang Yuan Fei were conversing, the price of the Law Celestial Talisman, the Arrow Explosion Talisman, continued to rise. In just a blink of an eye, the price had risen to 4,800 prominent Celestial Crystals.
"Based on the power of this Arrow Explosion Talisman, it seems like it was inscribed by a powerful Celestial King … Based on the effect of this Arrow Explosion Talisman and the fact that it's a one-time use item, it'll be difficult for the price to exceed 5,000 prominent Celestial Crystals."
In the next moment, as if to prove Huang Yuan Fei's words, after the price of the Arrow Explosion Talisman was raised to 5,000 High Grade Celestial Crystals, no one else increased the price.
"Although the Arrow Explosion Talisman is not bad and can be given to the younger generation to protect themselves, it can only be used once. In the Thousand Lands, 5,000 Superior Celestial Crystals is the maximum price for a talisman of this level."
"If you still want to raise the price at this time, then your head must be kicked by a donkey!"
"Five thousand high-grade Celestial Crystals … This Arrow Explosion Talisman has sold for the price it deserves."
…
Similar whispers could be heard throughout the auction hall.
"Five thousand high-grade immortal crystals, going once."
"Five thousand high-grade Celestial Crystals, going twice."
On the auction stage, the grey-clad old man said indifferently, "Five thousand high-grade Celestial Crystals, going thrice!"
"Sold!"
As soon as the grey-clad old man finished speaking, he raised his hand. The Celestial Talisman in his hand seemed to have transformed into a bolt of lightning as it shot toward the person who had bid for the Arrow Explosion Talisman.
In just a blink of an eye, the Arrow Explosion Talisman arrived in front of the middle-aged man who had bid for the Arrow Explosion Talisman.
Swoosh!
As soon as the middle-aged man received the Arrow Explosion Talisman, he took out 5,000 prominent Celestial Crystals and placed them in a Spatial Ring. Then, he used his Celestial Origin Energy to guide the Spatial Ring to the old man on the auction stage.
This scene could be said to be a perfect example of 'one hand for the money, one hand for the goods'.
"The second item is a mediocre Duke Grade Celestial Pill, the Origin Explosion Pill. The starting price for this Origin Explosion Pill is 5,000 prominent Celestial Crystals."
On the auction stage, the old man took out a pill bottle. He took out a pill from the pill bottle and showed it to the crowd before putting it back on the table.
"An Origin Explosion Pill?"
Duan Lingtian raised an eyebrow.
The Origin Explosion Pill was a common Celestial Pill in the Devata Realms. However, it could only be refined by a supreme Celestial Alchemist.
The Origin Explosion Pill was divided into three types: the supreme Origin Explosion Pill, the king Origin Explosion Pill, and the royal Origin Explosion Pill.
The three types of Origin Explosion Pills were further divided into three grades: primitive, mediocre, and superior. The superior grade was the best while the inferior grade was the worst.
'A mediocre Duke Grade Celestial Pill, the Origin Explosion Pill, can elevate a Celestial Duke's Celestial Origin Energy by two levels in just 15 minutes!
Naturally, if a ninth-grade Celestial Duke consumes it, his Celestial Origin Energy will only be elevated to the peak of a Celestial Duke's Celestial Origin Energy for 15 minutes. A Ten Directions Celestial Duke would only be able to elevate his Celestial Origin Energy after consuming it.
As a Celestial Alchemist, Duan Lingtian knew a thing or two about the Origin Explosion Pill.
While Duan Lingtian was lost in his thoughts, the price of the Origin Explosion Pill had already risen to 8,000 prominent Celestial Crystals.
After all, the Origin Explosion Pill could turn the tables in a battle between Celestial Dukes.
In the end, the Origin Explosion Pill was sold for 13,000 prominent Celestial Crystals.
Following that, the grey-clad old man brought out many other items.
However, most of them were Celestial Talismans, pills, and the like. Although the prices of the items increased, none of them caught Duan Lingtian's attention.
"The ninth item is a pair of Golden Nematodes, and they'll be auctioned together …. The starting bid for the two Golden Nematodes is 30,000 high-grade Immortal crystals!"
The grey-clad old man announced.
However, no one made a bid for the two Golden Nematodes for a few breaths after he finished speaking.
Instead, some people began to complain.
"The starting bid for these two Golden Nematodes is 30,000 prominent Celestial Crystals … As far as I know, the price of these Golden Nematodes in the black market is only 15,000 prominent Celestial Crystals. However, the Solitary Nation's Royal Auction actually set the starting price at this price. "
"It's because the Imperial family of the Solitary Nation knows that the emperors of the Supporting Fall Nation, the East Ming Nation, and the Moran Nation are after the Golden Nematodes. The rarer an item is, the more valuable it is. Based on the wealth of the three nations, the price of these two Golden Nematodes is definitely higher than the black market price. "
"That's right. Although the black market price of these Golden Nematodes is higher than the black market price, it's often priceless."
…
As everyone discussed among themselves, an indifferent voice rang from the direction where the people from the Supporting Fall Nation were seated.
"30,000 prominent Celestial Crystals!"
It was none other than Huang Yuan Fei who had joined the bidding.
"Father, you're bidding so soon? This isn't your style. "
Huang Jia Long was slightly surprised.
This was not his first time attending an auction with his father. However, even if his father wanted something, he would not be the first to bid.
Huang Jia Long was dumbfounded by what he saw next.
Apart from Huang Jia Long, everyone else in the auction hall was shocked as well. "I thought the people from the East Ming Nation and the Moran Nation want the Golden Nematodes as well?"
"What … What's going on?"
Duan Lingtian was stunned as well.
This was because after Huang Yuan Fei bid 30,000 prominent Celestial Crystals, the people from the East Ming Nation and the Moran Nation did not bid at all.
The people in the auction hall who had been anticipating the people from the three nations to compete for the Golden Nematodes were in disbelief.
"30,000 prominent Celestial Crystals, going once!"
"30,000 prominent Celestial Crystals, going twice!"
The grey-clad old man who had been calm all this while began to lose his composure. His voice was a lot louder when he said, "Going twice!"
He glanced at the people from the East Ming Nation and the Moran Nation's rooms, only to discover that there was still no movement from them.
In the end, the grey-clad old man had no choice but to bid again. "30,000 prominent Celestial Crystals, going thrice!"
As soon as the grey-clad old man finished speaking, it meant the two Golden Nematodes in his hands belonged to Huang Yuan Fei from the Supporting Fall Nation.
"What's going on? Didn't the people from the East Ming Nation and the Moran Nation come for the Golden Nematodes as well? "
"I wonder … Are the people from the Moran Nation and the East Ming Nation asleep?"
"I wonder what the people from the Moran Nation and the East Ming Nation are thinking."
"What … What are they doing?"
…
While the auction hall was in an uproar, the private rooms where the people from the Moran Kingdom and the East Ming Kingdom were in were not calm either.
In the room where the people from the Moran Nation were seated …
"Uncle Lian, why aren't you bidding for the Golden Nematodes? Moreover, you told me not to bid … What's going on? "
The Seventh Prince of the Moran Nation said with a frown on his face as he looked at the blue-clad middle-aged man in front of him.
Although the Moran Nation might not be able to refine the Golden Nematodes into the Profound Golden Pill even if they managed to obtain the Golden Nematodes, there was still a chance.
Nevertheless, there was still a glimmer of hope.
However, now that they had lost the two Golden Nematodes, there was no hope at all!
The blue-clad middle-aged man was a One Basic Celestial King who served the Emperor of the Moran Nation. For this reason, the Seventh Prince of the Moran Nation could only suppress his anger.
"Earlier, I received a Voice Transmission from Huang Yuan Fei from Passage City in the Supporting Fall Nation so I've decided to give up on the Golden Nematodes."
Facing the Seventh Prince's question and facing the other people's doubtful gazes, the blue-robed middle-aged man unhurriedly picked up the teacup on the table, and continued to leisurely drink his tea.
Meanwhile, in the room where the people from the East Ming Nation were seated.
"Elder Hu? Why did you give up? Moreover, you didn't allow me to bid … Aren't you holding Brother Jue Yun back? "
"How are you going to explain this to my father if you don't bring the Golden Nematodes back?"
A young man dressed in a silver robe said with a frown on his face as he looked at the old man who was the leader of the group of people from the East Ming Nation who had come to the capital of the Solitary Nation.
"Second Prince, although you're a prince, you're not as calm as Little Brother Ling."
The old man glanced at the silver-clad young man before he shifted his gaze to the grey-clad young man.
