"I only accept five-colored divine crystals. If you can't take out enough five-colored divine crystals right now, please leave," Jianchen stressed once again. He showed no mercy at all, leaving no room for negotiation.
The middle-aged man from the Myriad Water Estate was immediately angered. Coldness filled his eyes. "Sir, are you looking down on our Myriad Water Estate?"
"Uncle, please," Caia said indifferently as he stood to one side. He made an inviting gesture.
Jianchen remained seated with his eyes closed. He said nothing more and did not move at all.
"Hmph!" The middle-aged man glanced past Jianchen with a sharp gaze. He snorted coldly and left in a huff.
The rules of the spatial battleship were strict. Apart from the ring, all forms of fighting were forbidden. Even a peak organisation like the Myriad Water Estate was unwilling to break the rules set down by the famed Float Empire on the Jadefluid Plane so easily.
"Jianchen, looks like the results aren't ideal." Caia sat down before Jianchen after the middle-aged man left. He looked at Jianchen, who had his eyes closed, and sighed gently.
"There's only a handful of Primordial realm experts on the spatial battleship, and five-colored divine crystals are usually in the hands of Primordial realm experts. There's naturally a certain level of difficulty if we hope that the Divine King can pay enough," Jianchen said slowly. He knew just how precious five-colored divine crystals were.
Back on the Cloud Plane, in order to obtain enough five-colored divine crystals to return to the Moon God Hall, Fairy Haoyue had even personally taken action to deal with a powerful opponent for someone else.
As a result, five-colored divine crystals were extremely precious even to Primordial realm experts.
"I still have a few god artifacts on me. Originally, I planned on selling a few more to exchange for some five-colored divine crystals, but it looks like that was just wishful thinking. Now, we can only wait for the auction to begin. I hope the Infinite Primes on the spatial battleship don't disappoint me," Jianchen said gently. He closed his eyes and did not move at all. He was like an old monk meditating.
Before long, there was a sudden flash before Jianchen. An extremely burly, three-meter-tall old man silently appeared before Jianchen.
The old man was particularly huge, basically a tiny giant. Even Jianchen felt insignificant before him.
The old man studied Jianchen, and the light in his eyes flickered. "Hehe, Old Man Fa Yun, a subject of the Float Empire. He's one of the protectors of the spatial battleship."
Jianchen slowly opened his eyes. He stared at Fa Yun calmly and said, "You must have come for the god artifacts as well. Do you have enough five-colored divine crystals?"
"Of course Old Man has five-colored divine crystals," Fa Yun chuckled. With a flip of his hand, a huge gourd that was half a meter tall appeared in his hand. He said to Jianchen, "This gourd contains wine personally brewed by Old Man. He used nine hundred and ninety-nine precious heavenly resources and spent a thousand years to brew it. It's Old Man's proudest work. Come, have a taste of Old Man's wine first, and then we can slowly talk about the god artifacts. "
Before Jianchen could agree, Fa Yun waved his hand, and the huge gourd of wine immediately flew towards Jianchen.
Rather than 'fly', it was better to say 'smash' because the gourd of wine moved just too quickly. Anyone would think that it was smashing towards Jianchen.
Moreover, the wine gourd secretly contained a powerful ripple of energy. Although it did not contain any killing intent, it was enough to make any Divine King suffer a great loss, causing them to be covered in dust and grime.
Fa Yun clearly wanted to test Jianchen's strength with this move.
Jianchen's expression did not change. He extended his right hand unhurriedly, but he moved extremely quickly. He caught the wine gourd firmly in his hand, and then he patted the gourd gently. Immediately, a stream of wine as thick as a finger shot out, landing in his mouth with great precision.
From the beginning to the end, Jian Chen did not stand up at all. He sat there without moving at all. His expression was the same as before.
Fa Yun's eyes immediately narrowed when he saw this.
"Good wine. It really is a thousand-year-old brew!" Jianchen praised from the bottom of his heart. He patted the gourd gently again, and immediately, the gourd of wine 'flew' towards Fa Yun at the same speed. Clearly, it was returning to its owner.
However, when Fa Yun caught the gourd of wine, his eyes immediately shone resplendently. His body shuddered violently, and he almost lost control of his body due to being caught off-guard.
"The Primordial realm!" Fa Yun cried out as surprise appeared on his face. His gaze towards Jianchen underwent an overwhelming change.
"Now that you've drunk the wine, let's talk about the price. May I ask how many five-colored divine crystals you're willing to pay for my god artifact?" Jianchen asked.
"You sure have hidden yourself well. I never thought that a Primordial realm expert like you would actually lower yourself to stay in a high class cabin. How surprising," Fa Yun said. After learning that Jianchen was a Primordial realm expert, he immediately changed his attitude.
Although he had yet to probe Jianchen's strength, just the fact that he was a Primordial realm expert was enough for him to treat him as an equal.
Fa Yun sat down slowly before Jianchen. However, even when he sat down, Jianchen needed to raise his head slightly to meet his gaze.
"I have over five hundred five-colored divine crystals on me right now," said Fa Yun after a moment of hesitation.
Jianchen frowned slightly when he heard that. He said rather sternly, "Only five hundred? That's nowhere near enough. A low quality god artifact is worth far more than that. "
Fa Yun fell silent. Originally, he planned on using his identity as a Primordial realm expert to pressure Jianchen and purchase the god artifact from Jianchen at a low price.
However, he never thought that Jianchen would actually be a Primordial realm expert as well. Clearly, his previous plan was no longer feasible.
"Then I'll find a way to gather some more five-colored divine crystals." With that, Fa Yun directly left.
…
In the next few days, the number of people who came to visit Jianchen gradually decreased. Everyone knew that Jianchen was stubborn and only wanted five-colored divine crystals. There was no room for negotiation, so they naturally stopped coming.
Of course, Jian Chen had offended quite a few people in the past few days. There were even a few people with great backgrounds who directly threatened him with words.
Fa Yun did not come to visit Jianchen again in the next few days.
In the blink of an eye, the day of the auction arrived. The god artifact that Jianchen had taken out shone with dazzling light as it was placed in the centre of the auction. It was protected by a powerful formation to prevent people from stealing it.
A sea of people filled the surroundings of the auction. All of them stared at the god artifact with undisguised desire and desire.
Jianchen and Caia arrived in the VIP boxes specially prepared for them. They paid close attention to the happenings of the auction.
Moreover, all the important people on the spatial battleship had arrived as well. They sat in different VIP boxes.
"Jianchen, I feel like the auction this time won't go very smoothly. Some people might secretly interfere," Caia sat before Jianchen in the VIP box and said with some worry.
"Let's wait and see." Jianchen remained calm. He was already a Primordial realm expert now, and he was not as weak as someone who had just reached the Primordial realm. He had enough confidence to face everything.
