After the incident was settled, Qin Nan followed Cheng Mu and Yi Shi to the fifth floor of the Demon Palace.
Even though the participants were mostly experts in the Master Realm and mysterious existences in the Battlefield of Aeon, there was nothing special about the place. There were seats in the hall with a platform made of red immortal wood at the front.
"Fellow cultivators, welcome to the auction."
A three-zhang tall skeleton made of dark red bones came out from the back and brought its fists together at the crowd.
"Such a fascinating existence."
Qin Nan's eyes flickered with astonishment after taking a glance at the skeleton.
The skeleton was different from the skeletons in the Westernmost Land. Its body did not have any presence of life, but it had a mystical force instead.
"Let's not waste any time. Let's show the first item first."
As soon as the words left the red skeleton's mouth, two black-robed men appeared behind it, carrying a three-meter-tall, violet wooden box carved with countless patterns. The black-robed men performed an incantation gesture, causing the wooden box to emit cracking sounds. Then, like a flower, the box began to bloom.
In the center of the wooden box, there was a stone lion made from some kind of ancient white jade. It was very lifelike, and even though it had not been activated, it still emitted a shocking domineering aura. It looked down on the world and stood above the group of beasts.
The only flaw was that one of the lion's ears and one of its fangs was missing.
"The Demon Palace has appraised the statue. It's a damaged Dao-Seeking Weapon with less than one-fifth of its original state. It's called the Statue of the Howling Moon Emperor. It's an artifact that a Ruler of Dao in ancient times possessed. Once it's fully activated, it can..."
The red skeleton explained.
Despite his experience in the city, Qin Nan could not help but exclaim in his heart.
The Dark Auction was indeed extraordinary. The first item was already a near-complete ancient Dao-Seeking Weapon. What about the next item?
What kind of amazing item would be the finale of the auction this time?
"Alright, I believe everyone has an idea. Let's start with a Will-less Soul Jade. Everyone, start bidding."
The red skeleton said with a smile.
"Two!"
"Three!"
"I'll bid four!"
A few voices could be heard in the hall.
However, unlike the previous auctions, the entire hall fell into a momentary silence when a mysterious presence claimed to have acquired five stones. Many people frowned as they wondered if it was worth it, without showing any sign of excitement.
"What is this Will-less Soul Jade? Is it very precious? "
Qin Nan asked Yi Shi and Yi Shi.
"The number of Sovereigns and even Heavenly Venerables that died in that great battle was uncountable. Since their souls had reached a whole new level, their soul energy would still merge with the Heavens and Earth after they died. "
"The soul energy, together with some coincidences, would turn into the Will-less Soul Jades. Not only is the jade useful to Masters of Dao and Rulers of Dao, it's also useful to mysterious existences. "
"Therefore, most people would use the Will-less Soul Jades to buy the items in the auction."
Yi Shi said, "However, the Will-less Soul Jades are extremely rare and hard to find. Since the person is bidding five Will-less Soul Jades, I don't think anyone will compete with him for the Dao-Seeking Weapon."
Just as Yi Shi had said, after dozens of seconds, no one in the hall made a bid, so the red skull had to make the final call.
"It's made of the soul energy that is scattered between the Heavens and Earth …"
Qin Nan's heart shuddered as he said, "Can you show me the Will-less Soul Jade?"
Yi Shi was startled, but he did not reject the request. He took something out of his storage bag.
The object was around the size of a palm. It was emitting a glow like a jade with a mystical force inside it.
"It's really that kind of jade!"
Qin Nan was overjoyed. He was startled.
He had obtained four hundred Will-less Soul Jades when he was traveling through the forbidden lands!
A near-complete Dao-Seeking Weapon was only selling for five Will-less Soul Jades. He could easily buy eighty of them with the four hundred Will-less Soul Jades!
"I didn't expect that not only are my past lives able to ignore the danger, they can also attract the Will-less Soul Jades. I wonder how many Will-less Soul Jades I could find if I spent more time in the forbidden lands. "
Qin Nan exclaimed in his heart.
"Hehe, even the esteemed guest of the Demon Palace has never seen the Will-less Soul Jades before? Unfortunately, Yi Shi and Cheng Mu are stingy. They aren't willing to give you a few. Why don't I lend you a few Will-less Soul Jades so you can participate in the auction too? "
Yun Ao, who was not far away, happened to catch a glimpse of this scene and immediately said sarcastically.
Yi Shi and Cheng Mu wore displeased looks. They were about to say something when Qin Nan said, "That won't be necessary. I won't lend them to just anyone."
Yun Ao chuckled. He did not bother to say anything further.
The auction continued. Most of the items were sold for a few pieces of Will-less Soul Jades.
Qin Nan was paying extra attention to the auction now that he was confident of winning. He observed every item carefully. However, none of the items were useful to him, so he did not bid on them.
"The next item is something that many cultivators are interested in," the red skeleton said.
The red skeleton said. It flipped its hand and a silver bone covered in runes of various sizes appeared. It was emitting an ancient aura.
"This is the bone of a Ruler of Dao from ancient times. According to our analysis, less than thirty percent of its power has been lost. If you can refine it … please bid."
A few voices echoed in the hall as soon as the red skeleton finished its sentence. Yun Ao who had been silent all this while suddenly yelled, "Seven pieces!"
The Masters of Dao who were still bidding shook their heads.
Normally, the bone of a Ruler of Dao could only be sold for six pieces at most, yet Yun Ao had added another piece to it. It was meaningless for them to buy it.
"I've finally got it!"
Yun Ao's eyes flickered passionately when he saw the leg bone.
The others might be unaware, but he knew the leg bone was related to a succession. He would be able to obtain a lot of benefits from it. It was more valuable than the leg bone itself.
