Ye Kong didn't participate in the first round of the Connate Dao Seed auction because he wanted to see how the others traded. After all, the Dao Seed would quickly wither and wouldn't be easy to store. Even if it was a normal Cosmos Bag or space device, the Dao Seed would quickly wither.
The person who bought the first Dao Seed was a black-clothed man whose entire body was wrapped in black clothes. The black clothes could hide his appearance and cultivation. He had seen this before in the auction in the lower realm, so Ye Kong was not very surprised.
The man in black didn't seem to be a rich customer because he didn't sit in a private room but in the hall.
Coincidentally, Ye Kong and the others in the private room on the second floor could clearly see the process of the transaction.
The man in black took out a small black bag that was filled with celestial jades. He handed the bag to the Tu Family's staff member. After counting the amount, the staff member said, "Thank you, 800 celestial jades." After saying that, he waved his hand and someone walked in while pulling an Immortal-Binding Rope. On the other end of the Immortal-Binding Rope, a middle-aged man walked in with a dazed expression!
"This is …" Ye Kong and the three youths from the Wang Family all had strange expressions as they looked at the scene below in shock.
They had already guessed the method of the transaction!
It was actually a living person taking the Dao Seed. Moreover, in order to prove the size of this person's Dao Seed, the Dao Seed had to be taken on the stage and refined on the stage!
The middle-aged man walked in in a daze. Then, a staff member kicked the man down, causing him to kneel down. Then, he skillfully slapped the man on the top of the man's head. He didn't slap the man to death but used some secret technique to shock the man to death and force out the Dao Seed at the same time.
Soon, a green object was squeezed out from the middle of the middle-aged man's forehead. It was the size of ten drops of water and half the size of a thumb. It seemed like this man wasn't an ordinary person before.
The man in black saw the Dao Seed come out and was overjoyed. He grabbed it and pressed it on his forehead. This Dao Seed didn't need to be taken out and there was no need to refine the restrictions on it. He just needed to send it into the body and let it absorb and fuse on its own.
The man in black's goal was probably to buy the Dao Seed. After fusing with it, he immediately left. As for the middle-aged man's corpse on the ground, no one cared about it at all. No one even looked at it. Then, a few staff members came in and dragged the body away.
All of this was carried out openly. It was unknown how many people at the scene were watching, but no one felt that it was abnormal.
After that, the auctioneer's voice resounded. "The next item is two Dao Seeds the size of three drops of water. It can be fused with a pair of Dao Companions, or it can be fused with just one person. The starting bid is three hundred and fifty Immortal Jades …."
The bidding voices below immediately rang out, so indifferent and merciless.
Although Ye Kong had lived for thousands of years and had seen many cruel and merciless killing scenes, he still couldn't accept such a scene. He was not the only one who was dumbfounded. The three young men were dumbfounded as well. This person was at least a high-grade Great Overarching Golden Celestial or even a low-grade Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial.
He was killed just like that, his dao seed extracted, to the extent where no one even knew his name.
The three youths suddenly felt as if their bodies had been drenched in cold water. It was a bone-chilling cold! A boundless fear filled his entire body. The leading young man, Wang Hui, suddenly said, "As it turns out, this world is so cruel. Only one's cultivation base is the only way to survive …"
Perhaps, the three youths were still brooding over the sallow-faced young man's reprimand. However, at this moment, they finally understood that in this cold world, they could only rely on their cultivation base! If the middle-aged man's cultivation base was a little higher and he was just a little stronger, he would have been able to escape. He would not have been killed like a pig or a lamb!
Ye Kong finally understood why the expressions of the people in the shops outside changed when they heard about the Tu Clan!
And the item being auctioned was a pair of Dao Seeds with three drops of water. Presumably, if it wasn't a pair of lovers, then it was a pair of husband and wife … Ye Kong thought like this in his heart. He felt a little numb. In the midst of his daze, he heard the voice of a young man in the private room opposite him. He only spent five hundred celestial jades. Five hundred Immortal Jades was enough to buy the life of a Celestial couple.
Then, the Dao Seeds were auctioned again. The voice of the young man in the private room opposite him seemed to be very rich. He had bought a lot of Dao Seeds. Ye Kong seemed to be able to see corpses being dragged out of that private room.
Ye Kong was very unhappy, but he couldn't do anything about it. This world was really cruel. How many planets, how many main cities, how many businesses like the Tu Clan! He, Ye Kong, was not a god. Even if he was, he couldn't do anything about it!
"I hope that these people who were killed for their Dao Seeds were all heinous bad people." Ye Kong thought to himself. He stood up and waved his hand weakly. "Let's go. I'm not buying anymore."
Indeed, he couldn't care about others, but he could care about himself! This was probably the so-called "no sale, no killing". He decided not to buy.
However, things weren't that simple. As soon as he went out, the waiter at the door used a secret method to send the news out. In that heavily restricted room, besides Steward Liu, there was also a tall and ruddy old man. This was Steward Li, who had just returned.
When Steward Liu received the news, he instantly frowned. "They actually didn't buy anything!" He was a little annoyed. He thought it was a big business, and he had to personally go out to welcome them! He even hoped to earn this person's Celestial Jades in the long run.
The ruddy Steward Li Qi said, "Could it be that this person's Celestial Jades aren't his, and he's just here to put on a show and show off his extravagance?"
Steward Liu shook his head. "It doesn't seem like it. This person's Celestial Jades are very imposing. If it wasn't for his low cultivation, I would have thought that he was an ancestor of some clan. There's no need for him to make such a pointless move."
Steward Li said, "Could it be that he doesn't like such a small business? Fine, I'll come out again. I'll take the chance to see how his cultivation is and if he's hiding it. "
Ye Kong brought the three youths with him. Just as he walked out of the auction house, he saw Steward Liu walking out with a ruddy old man. He introduced, "Fellow cultivator, this is our Chief Steward. If you have any big business, you can discuss it directly with our Chief Steward Li."
Steward Li cupped his fists and laughed. Then, he walked over and said intimately, "Fellow Daoist, are you bringing the younger generation of the clan to purchase a large amount of Dao seeds? Do you think we don't have enough? Fellow Daoist, don't worry. Don't talk about a few hundred or a few thousand drops of Dao seeds. Even if it's a hundred thousand or a million drops, our Tu clan can still get them! "
Ye Kong was shocked. He hurriedly asked, "How can you catch so many people?"
Steward Li thought he had guessed correctly. He laughed and said, "Why is our Tu clan surnamed Tu? Slaughter! As long as you have enough Celestial Jades, we can capture a village, a city, or even a planet for you! Slaughter them all and take their seeds. We can have as many as you want! "
