Ning Cheng felt a little disappointed in his heart. If it wasn't wood-attributed chaos qi, it wouldn't be of much use to him.
"If the chaos qi is so precious, why auction it in Broken Thatch Spirit City? Wouldn't it be more valuable if we went to Grand Essence Domain's Heaven Essence Sacred City? "Ning Cheng asked. In fact, this wasn't what he was thinking about. He wanted to ask who sold the chaos qi and where they got it.
The shop assistant smiled, "I heard that the person who obtained the earth-attributed chaos qi leaked the news. He also knew that he couldn't take it away, so he decided to sell it in Broken Thatch Spirit City. This is the edge of the Grand Essence Realm, and no powerful holy emperors would come here. Therefore, many people want to try their luck. "
Ning Cheng nodded. This shop assistant was right. This was the edge of the Grand Essence Realm. The ten major sects and some Dao Fusion powerhouses were too far away from here. Not to mention whether they could get the news, even if they did, they might not be able to come in time. Without so many powerhouses, ordinary holy emperors would have a lot more opportunities.
"Then who was so careless? Who leaked the news? Let everyone know where it came from. "Ning Cheng asked. This was what he wanted to know the most.
The shop assistant shook his head, "Although I know that the person leaked the news, it's not something I can know. I suggest you don't ask about it. Just ask where it came from. It's not good to let others hear about it. The person who obtained the chaos qi definitely isn't simple. "
Ning Cheng smiled, cupped his fists, and thanked the shop assistant before leaving the merchant house.
… …
The jade strip he bought from the shop assistant was quite detailed. Not only did the jade strip contain most of the treasures to be sold, but it also contained the name and location of the auction house.
The auction was held by a very famous chamber of commerce on the border, Le Bao Chamber of Commerce. The auction was held on the first floor of Le Bao Chamber of Commerce, Le Bao Divine Hall.
There were many things on the jade strip, but only the chaos qi of the five elements caught Ning Cheng's eye. Ning Cheng didn't plan to participate in the auction. It made no difference to him whether he participated or not. What he wanted to know was, where did he get the earth-attributed chaos qi?
Le Bao Divine Hall's aura couldn't compare to Heaven Essence Sacred City's Pill Union. Moreover, even if Ning Cheng arranged the defensive array formation outside, it wouldn't be any worse.
"I have something to put up for auction and want to find the person in charge of the Chamber of Commerce." Ning Cheng entered the Le Bao Merchant House and immediately pointed out the purpose of his visit.
"Sure, but you'll have to wait for the next auction in three months. This auction is fully booked. " The one who received Ning Cheng was a female cultivator from the Le Treasure Pavilion. Although she spoke politely, she did not hesitate to reject Ning Cheng.
Who was he trying to deceive? Ning Cheng took out a jade box and placed it on the table, "I want to auction a Dao Transformation Dao Fruit. If I really can't put it up for auction in half a month, I will look for the next one."
Hearing the two words' Dao Fruit ', a yellow-bearded old man sitting in the corner of the room suddenly raised his head, and his gaze shot towards Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng remained calm. He had already seen that the yellow-bearded old man was the one in charge of this house. Moreover, the female cultivator who spoke to him was only at the late-stage Eternal Realm. This yellow-bearded old man was at the late-stage Dao Transformation Realm.
"Dark Night, go out. Leave this to me." The old man stood up.
"Yes." The female cultivator who refused Ning Cheng quickly bowed in response and carefully retreated.
After the female cultivator retreated, the yellow-bearded old man walked up to Ning Cheng, put his hand on the jade box Ning Cheng took out, and asked, "May I have a look?"
This yellow-bearded old man felt a little strange. Ning Cheng only had a Dao Sculpting cultivation and seemed to be a rogue cultivator in the starry sky. Logically speaking, such a cultivator should be afraid of him if he put a Dao Transformation Dao Fruit up for auction. However, he couldn't see even the slightest fear from Ning Cheng. One could even say that Ning Cheng only felt calm.
Ning Cheng showed a slight smile, "Please."
He naturally wouldn't fear a Dao Transformation Holy Emperor. If they really fought, he had full confidence that he could kill this yellow-bearded old man in front of him. He didn't have anything to fear.
The yellow-bearded old man opened the jade box and then closed it again. Although his expression remained calm, he felt shocked in his heart.
Ning Cheng looked like a late-stage Dao Sculpting Holy Emperor, yet he could take out a Grand Nullification Divine Fruit. It was a Dao Fruit derived from a Dao Transformation Holy Emperor's law-related spirit technique. Although it wasn't a top-grade Dao Transformation Dao Fruit, it was at least a mid-grade Dao Transformation Dao Fruit. What he lacked the most right now was this Grand Nullification Divine Fruit.
"I'm Le Bao Divine Hall's auction manager, Ni Jing. May I ask if this dao friend wants to auction this Dao Fruit?" Ni Jing put down the jade box again and asked with cupped fists. He didn't ask about Ning Cheng's origin. Some guests were afraid of this, but as the auction manager, he naturally knew about it.
Ning Cheng showed a slight smile, "I don't have to auction this Dao Fruit. If the price is right, I can sell this Dao Fruit to Le Bao Divine Hall now and let you auction it. However, I have an additional condition for selling this Dao Fruit. "
Ni Jing nodded. If there was no condition, then he would have some doubts about selling a Grand Nullification Divine Fruit to Le Bao Divine Hall for no reason. Everyone knew that selling it like this was completely different from selling it at an auction.
Ni Jing didn't speak. He just waited for Ning Cheng to state his conditions.
Ning Cheng knocked on the Grand Nullification Divine Fruit as if to remind Ni Jing that he was knocking on a Dao Transformation Dao Fruit.
After knocking for a while, Ning Cheng spoke up casually, "I heard that Le Bao Divine Hall has five-element chaos qi for sale this time?"
Ni Jing replied with a calm expression, "According to the guest who came to auction it, it's five-element chaos qi. I've never seen this thing before, but judging from the natural restriction and the aura within it, the guest who put it up for auction didn't speak nonsense. If nothing unexpected happens, it is indeed five-element chaos qi. "
"You didn't check it?" Ning Cheng asked in surprise.
Ni Jing smiled, "This guest must be joking. This thing isn't easy to open for inspection."
Ning Cheng didn't ask again. He guessed that it was a natural restriction. After Le Bao Divine Hall opened it, it couldn't restore it.
"I would like to ask, where did this guest obtain the Earth Attribute Chaos Qi from? This is my additional condition. " Ning Cheng spoke directly. Facing an old fellow like Ni Jing, no matter how he tried to be tactful, the other party could guess his thoughts. Therefore, he might as well ask.
Ni Jing showed a faint smile on his face. Apparently, he had already expected Ning Cheng's question. "This dao friend, because many people have asked about this matter, the guest who obtained the earth-attributed chaos qi also made a jade strip of the location he obtained and participated in the auction."
Ning Cheng felt that there were many people who thought the same as him.
"Steward Ni, can you sell the location jade strip to me, and I'll give you this Dao Fruit as a reward. I believe that even at the auction, no one would bid higher than this. "Ning Cheng knew that the location was about to be auctioned, so he didn't plan to take the Great Nullification Divine Fruit.
Ni Jing shook his head, "I believe this dao friend. If you put it up for auction, a location jade strip is indeed not worth a Dao Transformation Dao Fruit. What I want to tell this dao friend is that there are a total of ten jade strips for this location auction. "
Ning Cheng's expression turned a little ugly, "Steward Ni, do you mean that even if I buy the location jade strip now, someone else will know the location like me after the auction ends?"
Ni Jing spoke with some embarrassment, "The latter part of your statement is correct, but the former part of your statement is wrong. You can't buy this location jade strip now because we promised the person who sent it. The ten location jade strips must be sold at the auction. Even if someone offers a higher price, we will not allow them to be sold in advance. "
Ning Cheng's heart thumped. He had experienced too many things. What was the purpose of sending things for auction? More than 90% of people would send things for auction with the sole purpose of getting more spirit crystals. In layman's terms, it was to get a little more money.
Now, no matter how high the price the other party offered, they wouldn't sell it in advance. There was only one reason. The person who sent the jade strips had the same purpose as him. Ning Cheng's purpose was to know where the earth-attributed chaos qi appeared, while the other party's purpose was to let more people know about the location of this place.
If the ten location jade strips with earth-attributed chaos qi were auctioned, it would most likely turn into tens of thousands of pieces overnight. It might even become known to the entire Broken Thatch Spirit City.
This must be intentional, but what did the person who sent the jade strips want?
Ni Jing didn't say anything. Since Ning Cheng understood it, he naturally understood it as well. However, the purpose of the auction was not to care about this. As long as the auction could earn spirit crystals, it had nothing to do with the auction.
Ning Cheng silently put away the Grand Nullification Fruit. Since it was a conspiracy, did he need to waste a Grand Nullification Fruit? Although he knew that Ni Jing only told him this because he wanted him to take out the Grand Nullification Fruit. Otherwise, Ni Jing wouldn't have said these words.
Seeing Ning Cheng put away the Grand Nullification Fruit, Ni Jing's eyes finally showed some changes. "This dao friend, if you don't need this Grand Nullification Fruit for the time being, I suggest you take it out for auction. You will get more cultivation resources suitable for your realm, and maybe you can succeed in the Dao Birth Realm in a shorter time. "
Ning Cheng put the jade box back on the table and spoke with a slow voice, "Dao Friend Ni, if you can show me the location jade strip, I will give you this Dao Fruit."
Ni Jing didn't expect Ning Cheng to be so bold. After knowing that there might be a conspiracy, he still dared to buy the jade strip.
He naturally understood why Ning Cheng addressed him as a dao friend instead of a steward. It was to remind him that he was also a cultivator. This reminder wasn't wrong. Apart from working in the Le Bao Chamber of Commerce, he was also a cultivator and had to consider his own cultivation resources.
At this moment, Ni Jing fell silent.
Ning Cheng saw that Ni Jing didn't speak and knew that he was hesitating. So, he simply said, "Could it be that dao friend Ni's previous words were a lie? That there was no such thing as making ten jade strips? "
Ni Jing angrily grabbed a jade strip and raised it before saying, "How could I lie to you? Isn't this a jade strip? I can't show you this jade strip. My chamber of commerce pays particular attention to credibility. Since I've promised the guest, I won't go back on my word. I won't sell it to you in advance. "
Ning Cheng's Spiritual Consciousness Thorn instantly broke through the restriction on the jade strip in Ni Jing's hand and read the contents of the jade strip in just a few breaths.
Then, he said in a cold voice, "Since it doesn't work, then forget it. Goodbye."
Not knowing if Ning Cheng was too angry or for other reasons, he didn't take the jade box containing the Grand Nullification Fruit with him when he left.
Ni Jing walked over to the place where Ning Cheng stood and rolled up his robe sleeves. The jade box disappeared without a trace. There were some things that needed to be tacitly understood. Everyone understood this. However, he secretly felt shocked at Ning Cheng's powerful spiritual consciousness. In just a few breaths, Ning Cheng obtained the contents. Previously, he thought that Ning Cheng would need at least a dozen breaths to do it. But Ning Cheng didn't even need two breaths.
