Ning Cheng was not a good person, as such when he saw this round-faced teenager, he immediately knew that this person definitely had a relationship with Cang Wei. Because of the obvious aura mark left behind by Cang Wei on his body, as long as someone knew Cang Wei, they would be able to see it at a glance.
Putting away the Sky Treasure Silk, Ning Cheng knew that even if he wanted to find this round-faced youth, he would have to wait until the end of the auction.
Although the one who was almost killed a moment ago was not Ning Cheng, but he still felt a lot of urgency in his heart. Without strength, it was true that others could kill him as they wished. If it were an Eternal-level expert who could not take out the Perpetual Moon Pills after the bid, even if the auction house felt dissatisfied, they would not have killed him directly.
From the looks of it, he would have to use less of the Perpetual Moon Pills. After entering the Immortal Jade Star, he would have to find a way to advance to the Celestial Bridge Realm and use these Perpetual Moon Pills for cultivation in the future. If he couldn't even protect his own life, what else was there to talk about?
A smile returned to Dai Jia's face as she continued to raise the jade box in her hand and said, "There was some unpleasantness in the venue just now. Now, let's continue the auction. The next item for auction is a fire-attributed Origin Crystal …"
The Fire Essence Crystal was a great attraction for fire-type cultivators. When Dai Jia mentioned the Fire Essence Crystal, many fervent gazes fell upon the auction stage.
Ning Cheng was not interested in these things, and simply closed his eyes to rest.
After the Fire Origin Realm, another dozen or so decent items appeared. Because of the matter with the Sky Treasure Silk, Ning Cheng had almost exposed his face, so he simply ignored it.
A few hours passed by quietly. Just when many of the cultivators started to feel a little impatient, Dai Jia suddenly raised her voice, "Friends, please pay attention. The next item to be auctioned will be the most eye-catching treasure in this auction, the Time Stone … …"
Following Dai Jia's words, the entire auction house was once again ignited.
Many of the cultivators who came here specifically for the Time Stones. Even if he couldn't buy this thing, he could at least feel the Laws of Time contained within the Time Stone.
Unlike the other auction items, this time, a female cultivator came over carrying a tray with a jade box on top of it.
Dai Jia raised the jade box in her hand and spoke, "Distinguished guests, according to our auction house's usual practice, everyone will be allowed to admire the Time Stones for ten breaths before the auction begins."
A burst of applause erupted; apparently, everyone wanted to see the Time Stone. The main reason why so many supreme beings had come to this auction was because of the Time Stone.
At this moment, everyone's eyes widened as they focused their divine senses on Dai Jia's hand. Dai Jia opened the jade box, and the flow of time instantly filled everyone's mind.
A dark grey stone lay in the jade box. The flow of time on this stone made it impossible for one's spiritual consciousness to stop.
In just ten breaths of time, Dai Jia closed the jade box and the flow of time disappeared. Everyone could only close their eyes and continue comprehending. Unfortunately, no matter how talented one was, one couldn't come into contact with the Laws of Time in just a short span of ten breaths with just a glance at this Time Stone, which only had a superficial understanding of the Laws of Time.
"It's really good stuff." Even the cultivators who came here without buying anything felt that the trip was not in vain.
Mi Hui also sighed, "It is indeed a good thing, but it's a pity …"
Shi Qionghua and Jing Yiyi, who were sitting next to her, understood the meaning of the Sacred Mistress. This kind of thing, even the Sacred Mistress could not obtain it. It was not a matter of whether one could afford it or not. However, there was no way to fix the price of this thing. Ten thousand Perpetual Moon Pills would not be too little, and even a hundred million Perpetual Moon Pills would not be too much. It just depended on how this thing worked for you?
Even if many people had a hundred million Perpetual Moon Pills, they would not use all of them to buy this Time Stone. If one could really comprehend the Laws of Time, even if it cost ten billion Perpetual Moon Pills, someone would still find a way to buy it. However, it was almost impossible to comprehend the Laws of Time with just a Time Stone. Because it was impossible, others would have some scruples when bidding for it.
When Shi Qionghua heard the Sacred Mistress's sigh, she thought of the ten Time Stones on her and even wondered if she should give one to the Sacred Mistress. However, she immediately gave up on the idea.
Take Uncle-master Mi Chen, for example. The Sacred Mistress had looked for Uncle-master Mi Chen to ask Uncle-master Mi Chen for help. Now that Uncle-master Mi Chen had fallen, the Sacred Mistress had no intention of avenging Uncle-master Mi Chen. She didn't even feel sad about it.
From this, one could see that in the heart of the Sacred Mistress, everything else was secondary. Perhaps only the Everlasting Sacred Shrine was the most important. Although she was a Sacred Lady, she had not been favoured to the point that the Sacred Mistress would abandon the interests of her sect and herself. Once the Sacred Mistress learned that she had ten Time Stones, she would definitely hand them over.
It was not that she did not want to hand them over, but that these Time Stones did not belong to her at all. She could not even figure out her current relationship with Ning Cheng. Moreover, she felt that she owed Ning Cheng a lot.
… …
Dai Jia placed the jade box on the table in front of her and spoke with a smile, "Everyone has seen the Time Stone just now. It is a treasure that can help one comprehend the Laws of Time. I believe that many seniors have a deeper understanding of the Laws than me. Instead of explaining it to me, it is better to let everyone take it back and comprehend it for themselves. The starting price for this Time Stone is five million Perpetual Moon Pills. Each bid must not be lower than a hundred thousand. No purple coins. The bidding starts now ….. "
"5.5 million Perpetual Moon Pills." Almost at the same time as Dai Jia spoke, a price appeared on the huge bidding screen.
"5.7 million Perpetual Moon Pills." The price refreshed in an instant.
Ning Cheng gave out a sigh. He knew that he had suffered a huge loss. However, he had no other choice. He did not dare to put the Time Stone up for auction here. Although he knew that it was a huge loss, he had no choice but to accept it.
"6 million Perpetual Moon Pills."
"6.5 million Perpetual Moon Pills."
… …
"10 million Perpetual Moon Pills."
In just a short time, the price of the Time Stone soared to 10 million Perpetual Moon Pills. After reaching this price, the number of people bidding decreased, and the increase in the price also became much smaller.
In the end, the Time Stone was bought by Booth 3 for 13 million Perpetual Moon Pills. Ning Cheng could not help but sigh in his heart. It truly was a big profit. He had only obtained one-third of this Time Stone, while the other two-thirds had already been taken away by the auction house.
Ning Cheng really wanted to take out one or two more Time Stones in exchange for Perpetual Moon Pills; however, he did not dare to do so. Moreover, he also wanted to keep his Time Stone. In the future, when Luofei wanted to comprehend the Laws of Time, he could give his Time Stone to Luofei.
The auction of the Time Stone finally came to an end. As the auction neared its end, many cultivators started to leave the venue. Ning Cheng did not move. He did not come here for the Time Stone. He came here for the jade card to enter the Immortal Jade Star.
Ning Cheng's Spiritual Consciousness swept out and found that Shi Qionghua, Jing Yiyi, and the Daoist Priestess had all left the auction house. Even the round-faced youth, whom he had helped a while ago, had also left. Needless to say, the cultivators who remained at the scene were the same as him. They all came here for the jade card.
Sure enough, Dai Jia took out a jade card and spoke, "This is the last auction item, the jade card to enter the Immortal Jade Star. The base price is 10,000 Perpetual Moon Pills, and each increment must not be lower than 1,000 Perpetual Moon Pills. No purple coins. The bidding starts now. "
"Didn't you use to accept purple coins? Why don't you accept them now? "
"That's right, we used to accept purple coins. If we don't accept purple coins, what are we going to use to bid?"
… …
After Dai Jia said that purple coins would not be accepted, all kinds of panicked discussions broke out. Apparently, many cultivators did not expect such a rule.
Dai Jia stood on the auction stage and spoke up in a calm voice, "Friends, because our auction house does not have many jade cards to enter the Immortal Jade Star. We won't say anything about other merchant houses, but from now on, all the jade cards from my Eternal Heaven Merchant Hall for the Immortal Jade Star will be auctioned using Perpetual Moon Pills. "
Most of the people who came here to buy jade cards from the Immortal Jade Star were Celestial Scryer Cultivators. Moreover, many of them came from other starry skies. They had already seen the might of the auction house a moment ago. Therefore, although they felt extremely dissatisfied, they had no choice but to suppress it.
"15,000 Perpetual Moon Pills." Ning Cheng immediately quoted a price. He did not want to waste time. He wanted to immediately go out and find that round-faced youth.
"20,000 Perpetual Moon Pills."
"30,000 Perpetual Moon Pills."
… …
"70,000 Perpetual Moon Pills."
Ning Cheng looked at the price on the bidding screen in surprise. He had initially thought that 15,000 was already a high price. He did not expect that the competition for the Immortal Jade Star's jade cards would turn out to be so intense. If purple coins were used, it would be close to a billion purple coins. No wonder Ziche Jun could not afford it. Even if Ziche Jun had a powerful background, it would be difficult for him to afford such a price.
"100,000 Perpetual Moon Pills." Ning Cheng directly raised the price from 70,000 to 100,000.
Sure enough, after Ning Cheng quoted this price, no one increased the price for a while. In the end, Ning Cheng took away the Immortal Jade Star's jade card without any dispute.
