Ning Cheng didn't pay attention to Peng Ruimei's words at all. Although he didn't sweep out with his spiritual consciousness, he could clearly feel that there were many people in this hall far stronger than him. A few of them even had strength comparable to the red-haired powerhouse he met in the Grand Essence Sea.
Although there were many people in the hall, no one made any noise. Even friends who knew each other would try to use voice transmissions or whisper to each other.
After another half-an-incense stick worth of time, a middle-aged man dressed like a Confucian scholar walked to the round table in the middle of the trading hall and cupped his fists before speaking, "Thank you, dao friends, for coming to the Grand Essence Ruins' Quest Merchant House's Dao Confirming Exchange. Our Dao Confirming Exchange is held every three years, and a lot of treasures are traded during it. The Dao Confirming Exchange has also created countless powerhouses.
We hope that all the fellow Daoists sitting here today will be able to leave with a satisfied heart and obtain what they want. The Dao Confirming Exchange will still follow the old rules. The merchant house will take 1% of the transaction value of both parties. "
1% of the transaction value wasn't much. As someone who came from Earth, Ning Cheng naturally understood that the main purpose of this merchant house wasn't to earn points but to build popularity. To enter this exchange, one must have a silver card, and to get a silver card, one must spend a lot of points. Even if the merchant house didn't take a single point, the more such exchange fairs were held, the better it would be for the merchant house.
"Everyone has a teleportation station and a point trading slot in front of their seats. I believe that dao friends already know how to trade, so I won't say much about it. The order of trading starts from the first seat." After the middle-aged scholar finished speaking, he cupped his fists and walked down before sitting down on one of the seats.
Ning Cheng had already studied the square table in front of his seat. There was a small teleportation station on the square table, which presumably was the place to transfer items and spirit crystals. There was also a groove on the edge of the teleportation station, which could be used to place one's own task card. Then, one could use an array formation to exchange points with the traders in the distance. In addition, there was also a quotation screen, which allowed one to quote the price of the item and the item they wanted to trade.
One could say that this trading platform was a very advanced thing, purely from the perspective of the trading platform. Moreover, this kind of array formation was many times more advanced than the technology used in the world of science and technology. At least, Ning Cheng hadn't seen any technology that could control the Laws of Space. If he could control the Laws of Space, there wouldn't be a need for logistics.
"The item I want to trade is a cultivation technique, the Divine Sifting Penta Cauldron. You only need points or any Law Crystals, nothing else is accepted. "A deep and resounding voice resounded in the hall.
Ning Cheng saw that one of the seats was surrounded by a golden halo, and behind this seat was the number '1'.
Sitting in the first seat was a tall male cultivator. On the table in front of him was a book made of some unknown material. The book was locked by a restriction and couldn't be opened. It should be the God Sifting Penta Cauldron that he was talking about.
Ning Cheng looked at the number on his desk, it was number 664, and the colour was grey. He looked at the armchair behind him and understood that when he took out the item to trade, the armchair behind him would also turn golden.
Ning Cheng had a lot of Law Crystals, more than a hundred of which contained the Laws of Space. However, he had no interest in the Divine Sifting Penta Cauldron, so he naturally wouldn't bid.
Although Ning Cheng did not bid, there were still a lot of people who bid. Ning Cheng saw the prices constantly refreshing on the bidding screen. At the same time, he also saw many seats in the exchange hall flashing with silver lights.
Soon Ning Cheng found out the pattern, the silver light on the seat flashed and disappeared, it was because the price of the cultivator in that seat was pushed down by a higher price, causing a new silver light to appear on the seat with the highest price.
The price changed quickly, and in just a short time, the Spirit Sifting Penta Cauldron Cultivation Technique increased to more than 30,000 points. Finally, it stopped at 43,000 points. After reaching this point, no one else bid. The seat with the silver light flashing was number 411, a middle-aged female cultivator. From the looks of it, she was the one who bid 43,000 points.
Ning Cheng's heart immediately stirred up. He wasn't a fool. The cultivator who took out the Spirit Sifting Penta Cauldron was obviously a powerhouse who had successfully reached Dao Confirming Realm. Therefore, the things taken out by such a person naturally wouldn't be too bad, which could be seen from the competitive scene.
Yet, such a good thing could be bought with just over 40,000 points. From the looks of it, his 1.5 million points were already a lot.
After the price stopped changing, a crisp female cultivator's voice emerged, "The highest price on the scene is 43,000 points for number 411. Would you like to trade?"
This exchange meeting was different from auctions. Once the highest price was announced, it depended on the cultivator who owned the item. If the cultivator who owned the item felt that the price was too low, he could choose not to trade.
"Deal." After the cultivator with the Spirit Sifting Penta Cauldron finished speaking, he put the Spirit Sifting Penta Cauldron Cultivation Technique into the teleportation array and placed his silver card in the groove in front of the table.
As the Spirit Sifting Penta Cauldron teleported away, the 43,000 points were transferred to the cultivator's silver card. Ning Cheng sighed in his heart. This method of trading was indeed convenient and fast.
After the first transaction was completed, the seat with number 3 lit up. Ning Cheng looked at it and found that no one was sitting in the second seat.
Sitting in the third seat was a female cultivator with white hair. After her seat lit up, she raised a jade box and said, "I want to trade a Dao Fruit containing the Laws of Wood, Drifting Cotton Fruit. I only want points."
Dao Fruits were divided into many types. Dao Fruits containing the Laws of Wood mainly helped cultivators comprehend the Laws of Wood. This kind of law was of great use to cultivators comprehending the Laws of Wood's spirit techniques, alchemists, and cultivators cultivating divine grasses. Of course, it didn't have much of an effect on Dao Confirming Fruits. Only a few cultivators could use Dao Fruits to confirm their Dao. But such cultivators were few and far between.
A true Dao Confirming Dao Fruit had an essential difference from an elemental Dao Fruit. A Dao Confirming Dao Fruit didn't just contain a law attribute, but also a kind of nomological dao charm.
Even if the Drifting Cotton Fruit was a low-grade Dao Fruit, it was still in high demand. As soon as this Drifting Cotton Fruit came out, someone immediately snatched it up and quickly bought it for a high price of 92,000 points. From this, one could see that as long as it was related to a Dao Fruit, the price would rise sharply.
This made Ning Cheng very envious. No wonder Law Soil was so expensive. A piece of Law Soil could make a Dao Fruit Tree grow a bunch of Dao Fruits. How many points could one sell it for?
Following that, the people from seats 4 to 20 all took out expensive things. If it wasn't top-grade materials, it was top-grade weapons, cultivation methods, and other treasures. Even Ning Cheng fancied seven or eight things, but Ning Cheng didn't sell any of them. What he wanted to sell was something he needed right now, not something he could buy or not buy.
Finally, it was the turn of seat 26. A pale-faced, thin man sat on this seat. He raised a jade box and said, "I also want to trade a Dao Fruit, Falling Scar Fruit ….."
As soon as the three words' Falling Scar Fruit 'came out, it immediately caused a small stir. Falling Scar Fruit was a true Dao Confirming Dao Fruit. Among the cultivators who came here today, more than 20% of them came here for the Dao Confirming Dao Fruit.
Ning Cheng also wanted this Dao Fruit, but he knew that now wasn't the right time. With so many people here wanting the Falling Scar Fruit, if he bought it, it would definitely attract attention. Maybe after this exchange meeting, someone might even track him down and kill him. He had already offended the Beyond Heaven Path, so it wasn't a wise move to buy the Falling Scar Fruit, which he didn't need urgently.
Therefore, he had to use his points where it mattered most. That is, where he could improve his strength immediately.
As soon as the Falling Scar Fruit came out, the competition immediately turned white-hot. The price quickly rose to 360,000 points, and it still continued to rise. Although they were both Dao Fruits, the Drifting Cotton Fruit couldn't compare to the Falling Scar Fruit at all.
Ning Cheng saw Kong Ning with a worried look on her face. Moreover, Ning Cheng also saw her bid, which was 330,000 points. Her bid quickly fell, and the price of the Falling Scar Fruit rose to 360,000 points. Kong Ning's face turned pale when she saw the points.
The price of the Falling Scar Fruit paused at 360,000 points for a while before Kong Ning quoted a new price, 363,000 points.
When Ning Cheng saw the price and Kong Ning's expression, he understood that Kong Ning couldn't buy this Dao Fruit with the points she had.
Sure enough, in just a moment, the price of the Falling Scar Fruit rose to 390,000 points.
Kong Ning hesitantly looked at her Senior Apprentice Sister Shan Yaocen, who came with her. However, Shan Yaocen didn't seem to notice her. Instead, she kept staring at the bidding screen as if there were flowers on it. Ying Yongxuan, who sat not far away, also didn't seem to notice Kong Ning's pleading gaze and also looked at the bidding screen.
Ning Cheng felt a little speechless. Since they were fellow apprentice sisters, what was wrong with helping them? Even if they didn't want to help, they shouldn't have pretended not to know about it. Why not just say that they didn't have enough points?
After Kong Ning saw the expressions of the two people, she struggled for a while before finally retracting her gaze. But she obviously didn't want to give up on the Falling Scar Fruit and even looked at Ning Cheng.
To be honest, Ning Cheng didn't feel that the friendship between him and Kong Ning had reached the point where she could lend her points.
Kong Ning must have also realised that the relationship between her and Ning Cheng hadn't reached the point where she could lend her points, especially at this kind of trade fair. Even so, Kong Ning still looked at Ning Cheng, which showed how much she wanted to obtain this Falling Scar Fruit.
Ning Cheng smiled at Kong Ning and sent her a voice transmission, "I still have some points. Junior Apprentice Sister Kong Ning, I can lend you the points you owe. If I don't have enough points, I'll remind you halfway. "
Since Kong Ning used this kind of pleading gaze, Ning Cheng naturally wouldn't pretend not to know about it like her Senior Apprentice Sister. Even if she didn't want to lend, he wouldn't say anything. Ning Cheng really couldn't play dead. As long as it didn't exceed 100,000 points, Ning Cheng decided to help Kong Ning. If it was too much, he couldn't do anything about it. He came here to improve his strength, so he couldn't lend out too many points.
