"Fellow Daoist Bai, who do you think will be Lu Piaoxiang, the one who bid 750 yellow immortal coins and 780 yellow immortal coins?"
Huang Qi asked Gu Zheng. Both he and Yang Jue already knew that Gu Zheng gave the Earthfire Tortoise to Lu Piaoxiang in the morning.
"It should be the voice who bid 780 yellow immortal coins."
Although the immortal formation could change the voice, it didn't change the appearance every time. Gu Zheng remembered that the voice who bid 780 yellow immortal coins was the winner of the Earthfire Tortoise in the morning.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, are you still going to let him win this time?"
Yang Jue also spoke. He and Huang Qi both knew that Gu Zheng wanted the five-colored deer meat.
"No."
He didn't have much of a relationship with Lu Piaoxiang, so Gu Zheng naturally couldn't give in for an immortal grade ingredient.
"800 yellow immortal coins!"
Gu Zheng finally spoke and added 20 yellow immortal coins.
At the same time.
Lu Piaoxiang and the scholarly young man in the private room both frowned.
The scholarly young man cast a spell and exchanged images with Lu Piaoxiang again.
"The person who competed with you for this immortal grade ingredient is surnamed Bai, right?" The scholarly young man said coldly.
"It should be him," Lu Piaoxiang said faintly.
Lu Piao Xiang said faintly. She also remembered that the person who bid eight hundred yellow immortal coins was the person she gave the jasper flower nectar to.
"You gave it to him, but he didn't give it to you!" The scholarly young man clenched his teeth and said.
"It's not that I didn't give it to him, he gave me a Earthfire Tortoise," Lu Piaoxiang said.
"Girl, a Earthfire Tortoise bought you over?" The scholarly young man said.
"Uncle Kong, what do you mean bought me over?"
Lu Piaoxiang looked helplessly at the scholarly young man. This young man was actually that skinny old man.
Facing Lu Piaoxiang's coquettish call, the scholarly young man couldn't help but shudder. "This is an immortal grade ingredient. Didn't you say that there are traces of dao in immortal grade ingredients? Could it be that you want to give in for such a treasure? "
"I won't give in, I'll just bid normally! Although there are traces of dao in immortal grade ingredients, not everyone can get it. It still depends on luck! "Lu Piaoxiang said.
"Hmph, in any case, that Bai guy better not go too far. Otherwise …"
The elegant young man stopped his ritual with a strange smile.
Looking at the disappearing image, Lu Piaoxiang shook his head and smiled. This was the second time the auctioneer had asked.
"Eight hundred and fifty yellow immortal coins!"
Lu Piao Xiang once again bid and at the same time said in his heart: "850 pieces is the highest price I can offer. If you don't want to fight then fine. If you really want to fight then just bid 860 pieces. Don't let others earn too much."
"I thought she wouldn't bid anymore. I didn't expect her to bid again!"
Yang Jue shook his head and smiled in his room.
"It seems that immortal grade ingredients are really hard to buy!" Huang Qi sighed.
"It's not that difficult. If I'm not mistaken, this should be her last bid!" Gu Zheng said.
"Oh?"
"Why are you so sure, Fellow Daoist Bai?"
Yang Jue and Huang Qi widened their eyes.
"Although immortal grade resources are very precious, they still have a price, right? I feel that 850 pieces is already Lu Piaoxiang's limit. As for the price, it's more of a feeling! "
Gu Zheng smiled at Yang Jue and Huang Qi, then bid: "870 pieces!"
"Fellow Daoist Bai, since you're sure that Lu Piaoxiang won't raise the price, then can't you just add 10 pieces? Why did you add 20 celestial coins? "
Yang Jue was a bit confused. In his opinion, 10 pieces were also very precious.
"Out of courtesy from my hometown, the extra 10 pieces is a form of respect for the opponent," Gu Zheng said.
870 pieces was the final price of the immortal grade ingredient, the five-colored deer meat. Because the auctioneer knew which room the sound came from, Chen Zude personally delivered the five-colored deer meat to Gu Zheng.
One blue immortal coin was equivalent to 25 pieces of yellow immortal coins. Gu Zheng gave Chen Jude 34 blue immortal coins and 20 pieces of yellow immortal coins to complete the final transaction of the immortal grade ingredients.
The auction continued. There were still a few high-grade ingredients to be auctioned, but since Gu Zheng had already obtained the immortal grade ingredients, he decided to give them all to Lu Piaoxiang.
"The next item to be auctioned is the Space Divine Stone. I'm sure all of you don't need me to explain the use of the Space Divine Stone, right? The Chaos Tribulation has already begun. Having a Space Divine Stone can be very useful at critical moments! Moreover, the Space Divine Stone is now a hot commodity. Ever since the Chaos Tribulation began, it has become rarer and rarer. "
The auctioneer paused and his expression turned serious: "Now, the Space Divine Stone will be auctioned. The starting price is 100 pieces of yellow immortal coins, and each increment must be no less than 2 pieces!"
Having been in the Untainted Land for a long time, Gu Zheng had seen and heard a lot. He also had a more detailed understanding of the Chaos Tribulation.
The cause of the Chaos Tribulation was the Heaven Realm. The collapse of the Heaven Realm would cause the entire Untainted Land to be doomed eternally. Many cultivators in the Untainted Land were frightened because of this, and some even tried to escape to the Mortal World to take refuge.
As for the collapse of the Heaven Realm, the Ten Great Holy Immortals could not sit by and do nothing. They joined hands to protect the Heaven Realm, so that the Untainted Land did not seem to be affected by the Chaos Tribulation.
But "seemed" did not mean absolute. For the Untainted Land, although the big tribulation had not yet appeared, the small tribulation had already appeared!
Gu Zheng had heard from Huang Qi that within three to four months, the Chaos Tribulations would begin to affect a person. He had a fellow cultivator who had a blood symbol suddenly appear on his forehead. Although the symbol disappeared in a flash, that fellow cultivator felt like he was about to face a tribulation, and he even knew the exact day of the tribulation!
Huang Qi's friend had originally planned to escape to the Mortal World to take refuge, but he did not have the conditions to open up a space. In the end, on the day of the tribulation, he died under the bombardment of nine Heavenly Thunders.
The Ancestor of the Lin Family had also told Gu Zheng about a similar situation! This incident happened to a cultivator in the Void Return Realm of the Lin Family. A mysterious symbol suddenly flashed on his forehead, and then he had a feeling that he was going to face the tribulation.
The Lin Family happened to have a Space Divine Stone, so the Ancestor of the Lin Family gave it to the cultivator who was going to face the tribulation and let him escape to the Mortal World to take refuge. As for the fate of the cultivator who escaped to the Mortal World, according to the Ancestor of the Lin Family, this person's Life Jade Plate was not broken, which at least meant that he was still alive and did not die under the Chaos Tribulation.
Anyway, Gu Zheng came to the conclusion that anyone in the Untainted Land could be unlucky. Once the blood-red symbol appeared on their forehead, it meant that they were going to face the tribulation. If they did not escape to the Mortal World to take refuge, they would almost certainly die when facing the tribulation!
The Space Divine Stone appeared in the auction, so the bidding was naturally very fierce.
"Humph, it's just a stupid Space Divine Stone. I didn't care about it before, but now it's sold for 300 yellow immortal coins. I don't want it, okay? So what if I have the Space Divine Stone? Jin Xian's realm is still not enough to escape to the Mortal World! "
A voice of complaint was heard in the auction, which was rare.
As long as it wasn't any threatening remarks, the auction didn't forbid any unrelated voices. However, the quality of the people participating in the auction seemed to be quite good. This was the first time Gu Zheng had heard such a grumbling voice today.
"Hearing your words, I know that your cultivation is not very high! Jin Xian can't enter the Mortal World easily, but it doesn't mean that there is no way. It's indeed difficult for Jin Xian to enter the Mortal World with the Space Divine Stone, but if the method is right, it's not impossible to enter the Mortal World with the Space Divine Stone! "
Hearing Man Han's disdainful words, Gu Zheng nodded. It was difficult for Jin Xian to enter the Mortal World, but it was not impossible! When he was still on Earth, Gu Zheng had heard many stories about Jin Xian going to the Mortal World to exterminate the Youquan Blood Demon. He had also encountered Jin Xian when he was fighting for treasures on the floating island! If Jin Xian could not enter the Mortal World, Gu Zheng would not have to find a way to get the Space Divine Stone when he fled to Mount Shu with the Yan brothers.
However, it was really difficult for people above the realm of Daluo Jinxian to escape to the Mortal World. When Gu Zheng was on Earth, the only person who had seen Daluo Jinxian successfully escape from the Untainted Land was the Ancestor of the Heavenly Conch, who had begun to make arrangements for his escape to Earth before he ascended.
Gu Zheng did not need the Space Divine Stone, and Huang Qi and Yang Jue did not believe that they would win the prize. Therefore, the auction of the Space Divine Stone was over as the three of them chatted.
"The next item is the skull of the Thunderous Beast. The starting price is eighty yellow immortal coins. Each increment must be no less than two yellow immortal coins. Let the bidding begin!" said the auctioneer.
The Thunderous Beast was a type of immortal beast. Its skull could be used to make weapons and pills. It was a top-grade resource, which was equivalent to a high-grade food ingredient.
"One hundred yellow immortal coins!"
Huang Qi was the first to bid. The skull of the Thunderous Beast was something he valued.
"One hundred and five yellow immortal coins!"
"One hundred and ten yellow immortal coins!"
"One hundred and fourteen yellow immortal coins!"
"…"
Huang Qi's bid was drowned out by the continuous bids. The price of the skull of the Thunderous Beast soon reached one hundred and fifty-five yellow immortal coins.
"One hundred and sixty-five yellow immortal coins!"
The skull of the Thunderous Beast was very important to Huang Qi. He gritted his teeth and bid again.
"One hundred and sixty-seven yellow immortal coins!"
After a moment of silence, a voice bid. This voice had been increasing the price since the beginning. No matter how much the others bid, it would always be two yellow immortal coins more than the others.
"One hundred and seventy yellow immortal coins!"
Huang Qi gritted his teeth again. He did not have many yellow immortal coins left.
"One hundred and seventy-two yellow immortal coins!"
This time, the person who bid did not hesitate. He added two more yellow immortal coins. It seemed that he was going to go against Huang Qi.
"One hundred and seventy-five yellow immortal coins!"
After Huang Qi bid again, he looked at Yang Jue and Gu Zheng. "Fellow Daoists, who can help me? I must get the skull of the Thunderous Beast!"
"After bidding for the formation item, my immortal coins reserve is almost empty." Yang Jue shook his head.
"I'll help you. You can just bid two hundred yellow immortal coins!"
Gu Zheng still had quite a lot of yellow immortal coins. Just treating Chen Jude's illness had earned him fifty blue immortal coins.
Huang Qi nodded at Gu Zheng and bid two hundred yellow immortal coins.
After increasing the bid by twenty-five yellow immortal coins, the person who wanted to go against Huang Qi stopped bidding. In the end, the skull of the Thunderous Beast was won by Huang Qi at the price of two hundred yellow immortal coins.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, I'll sell some things later and return them to you." Huang Qi said.
"There's no need for that. It's only twenty or so yellow immortal coins." Gu Zheng smiled.
"No, I borrowed it from you. How can I not return it?" Huang Qi hurriedly said.
Gu Zheng really did not want Huang Qi to return it. But seeing Huang Qi's firm attitude, he decided to let him be.
Not long after, Chen Jude returned with the skull of the Thunderous Beast.
"I'm sorry to trouble you, Fellow Daoist Chen. You have to deliver it personally every time." Gu Zheng smiled.
"Well, Fellow Daoist Bai, you're here."
Chen Jude's undisguised words caused Gu Zheng to laugh out loud.
"By the way, Fellow Daoist Chen, did something happen at the auction just now? I seemed to sense that there was a fight! "
Gu Zheng was not lying. He sensed that kind of fluctuation not long before the auction of the skull of the Thunderous Beast.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, you could sense it through the immortal formation?" Chen Jude's eyes widened.
"It was very weak, but I did sense it." Gu Zheng said.
"Impressive. Even when I was at my peak, I wouldn't have sensed it."
Chen Jude first gave Gu Zheng a thumbs-up, then he gnashed his teeth and said, "There was indeed someone causing trouble just now. Since Fellow Daoist Bai asked, I won't hide it anymore, even though it's a shameful thing!"
"Our Chen family first met Fellow Daoist Bai at the Aroma Inn. Someone told Fellow Daoist Bai about what happened at my family's auction last year. Do you still remember?" Chen Jude asked.
"Yes."
Gu Zheng nodded. In his heart, he was deeply impressed by Chen Jude's ability to adapt to circumstances.
No matter what, Gu Zheng had trampled on the Chen family ruthlessly before. But now, Chen Jude treated him like a friend. Even if the cause of the previous incident was brought up, he could still say that it was a "meeting of fate". Ordinary people could not do this.
"This year, that damned old man came again. He disguised himself as a scholarly young man. Just now, he bid for an item. When our people brought the item to him, he injured our people and ran out. Then, he fought with me and the people of the Heaven's Music Sect. But his ability to escape was very good. In the end, he escaped."
Chen Jude took out a jade slip and gave it to Gu Zheng. "Fellow Daoist Bai, you guys take a look. If you find traces of this old man and provide effective clues, our Chen family and the Heaven's Music Sect will provide rewards."
Gu Zheng took a look at the jade slip. The image inside was the old man called "Uncle Kong" by Lu Piaoxiang. He was also the scholarly young man who came to participate in the auction. However, Gu Zheng had never seen this person before. After nodding at Chen Jude, he passed the jade slip to Huang Qi and Yang Jue to check.
Chen Jude was the last. The auction continued. After a few more items were auctioned, it was finally the Heaven's Cyan Jade Carving's turn.
Although the Heaven's Cyan Jade Carving was not the last item to be auctioned, Gu Zheng and the other two did not have anything else they wanted to bid for. After taking the Heaven's Cyan Jade Carving, they would leave the auction house.
"A hundred years ago, a relic left by a Sage-to-be appeared in the Luxia Town. Many people know about this. And this Heaven's Cyan Jade Carving came from that relic. According to the seller, this Heaven's Cyan Jade Carving hides the secret of an even greater treasure. Unfortunately, he could not understand it, so he took it out for auction."
The auctioneer raised the Heaven's Cyan Jade Carving in his hand and said, "The Heaven's Cyan Jade Carving will now be auctioned. The starting price is twenty-five yellow immortal coins. Each bid must not be lower than one yellow immortal coin."
Although the auctioneer said that the Heaven's Cyan Jade Carving hides the secret of a great treasure, the bidders obviously did not buy it. There were very few bids, and the bids were not very high either.
When the price reached forty-two yellow immortal coins, there was a moment of silence.
"Fifty yellow immortal coins." Gu Zheng bid.
A moment of silence.
"Any bids higher than fifty yellow immortal coins?"
"Fifty yellow immortal coins going once!"
"Fifty yellow immortal coins going twice!"
"Fifty yellow immortal coins going thrice!"
"Sold!"
Gu Zheng won the Heaven's Cyan Jade Carving with fifty yellow immortal coins. This was lower than the price he expected.
After receiving the Heaven's Cyan Jade Carving, Yang Jue immediately drew the rune on it.
"Crack …"
The Heaven's Cyan Jade Carving cracked. One of the light spots flew into Yang Jue's forehead.
A moment later.
"How is it?"
Seeing Yang Jue open his eyes, Huang Qi hurriedly asked.
"That's right, it's a clue to the treasure!" Yang Jue was very excited.
The treasure was not in the North Continent, but in the Sunset Mountain in the Aparagodānīya Continent. Moreover, according to the time that the Divine Will of the Quasi-Sage mentioned, there was less than a month left before the treasure would be revealed!
"Damn it! If he had left a clue about the treasure, why did he set the time for the treasure to be revealed? "Huang Qi gritted her teeth.
"A treasure like this is usually waiting for a fated person to inherit it. The Quasi-Sage would not want only a few people to know about it. Moreover, the cenotaph is already so dangerous, let alone the real treasure. If there are few people, they might die before they even get to know what the Quasi-Sage wants to pass down, "Gu Zheng said.
"This place is very far from the Sunset Mountain. If we fly, we won't be able to make it in time for the treasure to be revealed. It seems like we can only go there through the teleportation formation."
Yang Jue's suggestion was approved by Gu Zheng and Huang Qi. The three of them immediately left the auction house and flew towards the Yellowstone Prefecture.
Luxia Town was actually under the jurisdiction of the Yellowstone Prefecture. If they wanted to reach the Aparagodānīya Continent as soon as possible, the teleportation formation was the only way. Luxia Town was just a town. Although it was relatively prosperous, it did not have a teleportation formation. Only the prefecture had one.
Luxia Town was not too far from the Yellowstone Prefecture. The three of them flew for four days to reach the Yellowstone Prefecture.
After reaching the prefecture, Huang Qi was still thinking about the celestial coins that she owed Gu Zheng. She sold some resources to pay back the celestial coins that she owed to Gu Zheng.
However, Huang Qi had just returned Gu Zheng the celestial coins that he and Yang Jue owed Gu Zheng. After all, the cost of teleportation was very expensive. It cost five blue celestial coins per person! If they sold other things for celestial coins, they would have to sell things that were more useful to him and Huang Qi.
