Although the Thunderization Divine Technique was wondrous, he did not mind spreading it. After all, it belonged to the Big Dipper Sect. As for the treasure map, it was still unknown what was inside. Since someone had already taken it once, or even twice, there would probably not be anything good left. If he could exchange it for a large amount of Primary Stones, he would be more than happy to do so.
Fifty billion mid-grade Primary Stones, along with the ones provided by the Violet Cloud Chamber of Commerce and the ones he plundered from Mo Huayuan, would be enough for him to break through to the Martial Emperor realm, or even higher.
After a brief silence in the private room, the auction finally began.
Everyone looked over. On the arena in front, an old man stood with his hands behind his back. He looked like Feiyang, and he seemed to have the disposition of an immortal.
This person was the president of the Heavenly Crane Chamber of Commerce, Fang Tianhe. Under everyone's gaze, he smiled proudly and said, "I believe many people will be surprised that we are holding an auction today. I have been entrusted by President Ji Lin to host this auction. The auction item is very simple. There is only one thing — the Log Pose! "
"Log Pose?"
The audience immediately became restless. All sorts of discussions and whispers could be heard. Everyone was guessing.
Everyone in Li Yunxiao's room also revealed strange expressions. Xiao Minghui smiled and said, "This is interesting. I wonder where the Log Pose is pointing to. It actually needs to be auctioned with great fanfare."
Everyone was thinking the same thing.
The so-called Log Pose was actually a very simple tool. However, it contained the power of space. Once it pointed to a spatial coordinate, no matter where you were, the Log Pose would point to the set coordinate. It was usually used as a mark, and there was nothing precious about it.
A man could not help but exclaim, "What Log Pose is worth auctioning? Could it be the newly discovered Southern Fire Gold Crystal Mine?"
Another person immediately retorted, "If it's a mine, wouldn't the Thunder Wind Chamber of Commerce dig it themselves? What's the point of auctioning it! "
Fang Tianhe smiled and said, "This friend is right. It is a mine!"
"What? Auctioning a mine? "
This time, everyone was shocked. A mine was basically a gathering point for conflicts between various factions. It was extremely precious. Any mine could only be obtained by spilling the blood of a large number of cultivators. Who would be so foolish as to auction it?
Tan Dijun and Xiao Minghui's expressions immediately changed.
The mountains around Southflame City had long since been taken over by the major powers. It would have been fine if the other party had auctioned the Thunderwind Chamber of Commerce's mine. However, if it was a local power's mine, they would be asking for a beating.
"Everyone, please calm down. This auction is not only about the mineral source, but according to our speculation, there is also a large amount of South Fire Gold Crystal Sources!"
Fang Tianhe's words instantly ignited the mood of the entire auction house. All of a sudden, everyone stood up abruptly, and they were extremely shocked.
"Southern Fire Golden Crystal Origin? Did I hear that right? Even a Southern Fire Gold Crystal ore vein might not be able to contain such a thing! "
"What's going on? If there's an ore source, why don't you dig it yourself? Is the Thunderwind Chamber of Commerce that desperate for money? "
"I get it now. Zhang Linghua's advancement to Emperor Wu has put pressure on the Thunderwind Merchant Guild, and they're thinking of leaving Southflame City. That's why they're getting rid of all the ores in their hands!"
"It can't be. The Thunder Wind Chamber of Commerce is one of the seven members of the Merchant Union's board of directors. There must be experts like Emperor Wu in their headquarters. Why can't they send one or two here?"
"Send one or two? Do you think Emperor Wu is a cabbage in your house? A few hundred in one mu of land? "
"Then what's going on? It can't be that they're auctioning the ores of other forces, right? Isn't that a sign of war? "
It was already a mess below. In a few large private rooms, there were many people from the local forces. All of them had solemn expressions and were filled with murderous intent. Everyone seemed to smell the strong smell of gunpowder and gradually quieted down. The entire auction house was like a bomb that could explode at any time.
The person in charge of the Scorpio Sect was Deputy Sect Master Xun Zhiming. He opened the jade silk feather fan in his hand and gently waved it. He pretended to be relaxed, but his face was extremely serious.
An Elder beside him said in a low voice, "Deputy Sect Master, it seems that Fang Tianhe is going to auction our local ores. What should we do?"
Xun Zhiming said in a low voice, "There's no hurry. Let's see what the Bei Dou Sect is doing first. We don't need to be the first bird to stand out. We just need to wait for an opportunity. " After Zhang Linghua broke through to Emperor Wu, the local forces had already subconsciously followed the lead of the Big Dipper Sect.
Fang Tianhe felt the seriousness of the crowd and said with a smile, "You're overthinking it. The ore veins around Nanhuo City have long been divided. No matter how much the Thunder Wind Chamber of Commerce and the Sky Crane Chamber of Commerce risk the world, we won't dare to touch the Tai Sui and recklessly auction other people's ores. Also, you've all misunderstood. We're only auctioning the Log Pose. The ores are ownerless. "
"Ownerless? The surrounding ore veins have long been divided up. There's no ownerless land! "
"Ownerless land … Could it be …"
"Ah? Could it be that 'dead land'?! "
This time, everyone's expression changed. In the box, Tan Dijun slammed his palm on the table, immediately shattering the zhennan wood. Wood chips flew everywhere, and the qi on his palm surged. It was clear that he was extremely shocked.
Xiao Minghui said in surprise, "Why is Sect Master Tan so agitated? That dead land was originally uninhabited, and the resources have dried up. It has long been explored by the major forces, and there is nothing there. That's why it was listed separately when it was divided, and no one was willing to take it. I didn't expect the Thunder Wind Chamber of Commerce to find the ores in that place, but the strange thing is, why don't they mine it themselves? "
Li Yunxiao knew where Tan Dijun's anger came from. The place recorded on the treasure map was the dead land, and Tan Dijun had found the Nanhuo Gold Crystal Source there.
Sure enough, Fang Tianhe said, "That ores are in the 'dead land'!"
A man asked loudly, "Although the dead land is extremely dangerous, it's nothing to the Thunder Wind Chamber of Commerce. You have enough power to mine it, and it's an ownerless land. You should be mining in secret. Why are you making it public and making it convenient for others? "
"Hehe, this is a trade secret, no comment!"
Fang Tianhe smiled mysteriously and said, "We have already ascertained that there must be Nanhuo Gold Crystal Source in it, but … there is a great risk involved. After many leaders of our chamber of commerce discussed it, we felt that it was too risky to mine it rashly, so we announced this matter, and the auction record needle will be given to those who are capable!"
"So that's how it is, but your Thunder Wind Chamber of Commerce doesn't dare to mine the ores, isn't it courting death for us to go there?"
A martial artist from a local force said angrily, "Your purpose is to use us as cannon fodder, to open the way for you!"
The rest of the people were enlightened by these words, and showed a look of understanding.
Fang Tianhe said coldly, "If it wasn't too dangerous, would we give up such a good opportunity? The opportunity is given to you, whether you want it or not is your own business. Riches are sought in danger, and the greater the risk, the greater the benefits. As for opening the way for us, that's a joke. Everyone knows the situation now, and everyone has equal opportunities. What's the point of being cannon fodder? Does it only make sense for our chamber of commerce to open the way for you and be your cannon fodder? "
His words immediately made the martial artists from the local forces speechless. That was indeed the case. Everyone had equal opportunities, and no one could force them to go or not.
That person snorted coldly again, "How do I know the ore content of your ores, and how dangerous it is? And who can guarantee that you will believe what you say? If it's just a trap to lure everyone over, and then you kill them, what should we do? "
Fang Tianhe's eyes surged with killing intent, and he said angrily, "The Thunder Wind Chamber of Commerce and the Sky Crane Chamber of Commerce have a good reputation. When have they ever auctioned fake news? As for trash like you, it doesn't make much difference whether you go or not. Even if the degree of danger is low, for trash like you, it's still a great risk. "
That martial artist's face flushed with shame and anger. Everyone calmed down a little. Although the chamber of commerce and the local forces were constantly fighting openly and covertly, their reputation was indeed good, and they would never deceive their customers.
Seeing that everyone's doubts were gradually resolved, Fang Tianhe said, "There are a total of 300 Log Needles in this auction, and they will be sold together in a package of 10. In the land of death, there's a natural illusion of uncanny craftsmanship. It's impossible to leave without a Log Needle. Don't even dream of using a single needle. Once you enter the illusion, everyone will be alone in the illusion. It's impossible to share a needle. "
His words immediately shattered the thoughts of some of the independent cultivators who planned to bid for a few Log Needles together. Many of them frowned in distress. Apart from the internal members of their chamber of commerce, there were only three hundred slots for the outside world. They would probably all be split up by the large sects.
Jin Xuan's expression was dark the entire time, and she did not make a sound. This was because she was completely unaware of these things. In other words, the Violet Cloud Chamber of Commerce had already been completely excluded from these chambers of commerce. Both her and Wu Chen's expressions were extremely ugly.
Tan Dijun looked at Li Yunxiao meaningfully, his eyes filled with an inquiring look. He was a little confused now. He did not know if the mineral source discovered by the chamber of commerce was related to the treasure map passed down by the Northern Scorpion Sect. If it was, then they would be in big trouble.
Li Yunxiao shook his head slightly. He was even more at a loss. After pondering for a while, he transmitted his voice to Tan Dijun's ear and said, "Let's take a look at some of the needles first. If the location is exactly the same as on the map, then we will act earlier. Even if there is Southern Fire Gold Crystal Source, this kind of thing requires the Southern Fire Gold Crystal Vein to breed for thousands of years before it can produce a little. Even if there is, there won't be too much. A few of us will sneak over first to see the situation. If we can't obtain it with the strength of a few experts, then it will be useless no matter how many people we have. "
Tan Dijun's heart moved, and he transmitted his voice back, "That's right, it should be like this!"
His heart immediately calmed down a little, but his expression became even more serious. This Li Yunxiao was both intelligent and talented, and his strength was heaven defying. He was becoming more and more unable to see through him. He suddenly felt that dealing with Li Yunxiao was much more troublesome and difficult than dealing with the treasure.
