The female shopkeeper had said that the Resplendent Star Tear was also known as the Ghost King's Eye. In fact, many people had discovered its value.
On the contrary, many people knew that it might be related to a hidden treasure. Moreover, it contained a mysterious energy. Therefore, it had been hyped up to a sky-high price.
However, every owner it had passed through had met with misfortune. Therefore, it had been regarded as an ominous object. Therefore, it had been given the cold shoulder.
The Resplendent Star Tear had failed to be auctioned every month for nearly a year. However, its owner had insisted on the base price of 130,000 gold coins.
Therefore, Lan Ling could basically buy it at the base price.
Sure enough, everyone present became lazy after the female shopkeeper had mentioned the Resplendent Star Tear. They had turned into spectator mode.
"The base price of the Resplendent Star Tear is 130,000 gold coins. Each increment must be no less than 1,000 gold coins," the female shopkeeper said.
Lan Ling didn't want to play the game of loosening the reins only to grasp them better. So, he raised his card and shouted the price.
"130,000!" However, someone was even faster. It was Ninian.
The female shopkeeper was startled. She had thought that no one would bid. So, Lan Ling could buy it at the base price.
She hadn't expected that someone would bid. Moreover, it was the eighteenth concubine of the Young Barbarian King.
Lan Ling was also startled. [What does Ninian mean? Why is she doing this?
Did she see through me? So, she wants to stop me at the auction?] [There's no doubt that this is impossible. She would've ordered her warriors to kill me if she had discovered that I'm Lan Ling.]
[So, the only explanation is that Ninian has her own purpose in wanting the Ghost King's Eye. And, it's very likely related to the Ghost Domain World.]
[Lan Ling had guessed correctly.]
Ninian had been completely shocked after she had arrived at Luocha City. She had been completely unable to adapt to the situation.
She hadn't even seen the face of the Young Barbarian King after she had handed over the 130,000 gold coins. Moreover, she had countless competitors. Countless chiefs in the entire territory of the Luocha City wanted to marry their daughters to the Young Barbarian King as a concubine.
It wasn't a talent show, but it was similar to a talent show.
Moreover, her 130,000 gold coins were not much at all. Her dowry was much more than that.
Moreover, the Young Barbarian King didn't care about the dowry and the gold coins. The reason why there was such a large dowry was that someone wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to line their own pockets.
On the day that Ninian offered herself to him, she had more than 30 competitors.
After that, she was examined by a few older women like a commodity. Not a single inch of her body was spared.
Whether it was the face, figure, bone structure, bloodline, or even the most private parts, they all had to be examined and determined.
Ninian remembered very clearly that she was ranked nineteenth among the thirty over opponents on that day.
That's right, she was only ranked in the middle, and this was because of her figure. Purely in terms of beauty, she was not even ranked 19th.
At that time, Ninian almost despaired.
That was because the Young Barbarian King hadn't taken a concubine for half a year. So, he might not even have an opportunity to take the first place … let alone the nineteenth place.
However, she hadn't expected that she would be picked up by the female warriors of the Young Barbarian King's Mansion that very night. Then, she would undergo a simple ceremony, and become the Young Barbarian King's concubine.
She didn't know why she had stood out from the crowd. After all, she was only ranked 19th among the women who had offered themselves to him that day.
She wasn't the best among all the competitors … whether it was her appearance, figure, or identity. So, why did the Young Barbarian King choose her?
It was like a mass of fog.
Ninian was hit by a great surprise in this way.
However, she had only seen the Young Barbarian King once in almost a month. It was on the night when she had taken a concubine.
He was a man who could make people's hearts palpitate. He could make people extremely infatuated with him. However, he was also an extremely fearful man.
Ninian's legs went weak when he appeared in front of her. She couldn't help but kneel down.
She couldn't even see the Young Barbarian King's face clearly because that powerful and cold aura had shrouded the entire space. She felt as if her throat would be pinched at any time. She felt as if she would suffocate at any time. So, she didn't dare to raise her head.
She had felt as if she had reached the sky in a single bound since then.
Everyone would bow their heads and listen to her when she was walking in Luocha City. They were extremely respectful.
However … that was all.
She hadn't even seen her nominal husband, the Young Barbarian King, let alone the Luocha King.
She wanted to speak up for her father, or at least let her father become the leader of the Silver Alliance.
However, she also knew that she couldn't be too hasty. Moreover, the most important thing was that she couldn't even see the Young Barbarian King's face.
She didn't need to fight and scheme against each other after she had become the concubine of the Young Barbarian King. After all, she lived alone in the castle. There were dozens of warriors and dozens of maids, and all of them obeyed her orders.
She hadn't even seen the Young Barbarian King's wife in a month.
The Young Barbarian King had returned her 130,000 gold coins the next day after she had married the Young Barbarian King as his concubine. Moreover, he had bestowed her with 30,000 gold coins. Moreover, he would reward her with 3,000 gold coins every month.
This kind of life could be said to be extremely luxurious and luxurious.
Previously, she only had a silk dress, and it was torn by Lan Ling. But in Luocha City, in her castle, she had countless silks and satins, countless precious jewelry.
She couldn't even spend a few hundred thousand gold coins. She had everything she needed.
Ninian's vanity had reached an unprecedented level. She had almost thrown Lan Ling to the highest heavens.
The Young Barbarian King had defeated Lan Ling in all aspects — appearance, imposing manner, status, and martial arts. Lan Ling wasn't even as good as a footwipe in front of the Young Barbarian King.
Moreover, the leader of the Silver Alliance had personally led the other chiefs to the Chimera Tribe to pay a visit to Constantine after she had successfully married the Young Barbarian King as his concubine.
Moreover, they had presented him with a valuable gift.
Moreover, the leader of the Silver Alliance had also promised that he would gift the Chimera Tribe 50,000 kilograms of salt every year for free. He didn't even need to pay half a gold coin.
The most exciting thing was that even the leader of the Black Devil Flag had personally dispatched a disciple to the Chimera Tribe to pay a visit to Chief Constantine.
The leader of the Black Devil Flag was the supreme leader of more than 100 tribes, and millions of square kilometers. He was an unreachable big shot in the past. But, he had gone to befriend Constantine.
This was a perfect illustration of the phrase 'when a man achieves the Dao, his chickens and dogs also rise to heaven'.
However, everything had a price … and that was loneliness and waiting.
Ninian was bitterly waiting for the arrival of the Young Barbarian King every night. She was waiting for the favor of the Young Barbarian King.
Oh, no … it wasn't the Young Barbarian King … it was the Young Luosha King.
She didn't like the title of Young Barbarian King. Her husband was the noblest and most powerful man in the world. So, how could he have the word 'barbarian' in his name?
However, her husband had never appeared again except on the night of their marriage.
She wanted to take revenge. She wanted to help her father to eliminate that bastard Lan Ling.
However, she couldn't even see the face of the Young Luosha King. So, there was no need to talk about pillow talk.
However, she was the concubine of the Young Luosha King after all. So, she had a supreme status. She didn't have the authority. She couldn't dispatch any soldiers outside of her own castle. However, she could inquire about the method to break the Ghost Domain World.
Those powerful shaman priests of the Luosha City were incomparably arrogant. However, no one dared to not speak in front of her identity as the concubine of the Young Luosha King.
That was because the Luosha Royal Clan was the supreme existence in this 20 million square kilometers of land.
Ninian was only the most marginal existence of the Luosha Royal Clan. However, she still couldn't be offended.
Therefore, those old shaman priests told her that the so-called Ghost Domain World should be a spiritual dreamland. As for the method to break it, she only needed to use a treasure with formidable spiritual energy.
Therefore, an old shaman priest finally told her about the Resplendent Star Tear.
This gem was an ominous object. Anyone who played with it would be confused. However, it was undoubtedly the most powerful spiritual gem.
She asked the old shaman whether this Resplendent Star Tear could break the Ghost Domain World. And, the answer she got was that it could.
The spiritual energy of this Resplendent Star Tear was enough to support a huge energy shield in the dreamland. No one would be captured by the dreamland of the Ghost Domain World inside this energy shield.
Therefore, Ninian wanted to order the Heaven and Earth Pavilion to offer the Resplendent Star Tear.
However, the people around her told her that the Heaven and Earth Pavilion would offer it with both hands as long as she asked. Moreover, they wouldn't accept even half a gold coin. However, the Young Luosha King would be very unhappy if that were to happen.
At this moment, the Young Luosha King was Ninian's heaven and earth. Pleasing him, making him happy, and receiving his favor was Ninian's highest mission. Of course, she wouldn't lose the bigger picture because of a small gain. Therefore, she took the initiative to participate in the auction and bid for the Resplendent Star Tear.
However, in this way, she became a tiger blocking Lan Ling's way.
Once Ninian obtained the Resplendent Star Tear, Constantine would be able to break the dreamland of the Ghost Domain World.
At that time, Lan Ling's Flame Demon Tribe would only have a mere thousand people. Even if he had three heads and six arms, he wouldn't be a match for Constantine's thirty thousand allied army. He would definitely die.
Then, the Flame Demon Tribe would truly perish in its cradle.
...
After hearing Ninian's bid, the female shopkeeper turned pale. Then, she looked at Lan Ling apologetically and gave him a look.
Then, she actually wanted to smash the hammer.
This was because it was the Heaven and Earth Pavilion's greatest honor for the Rakshasa royalty to take a fancy to anything. Moreover, the Rakshasa royalty had always been high and mighty. They would never ask for anything from the Heaven and Earth Pavilion. Even if the Heaven and Earth Pavilion wanted to curry favor with them and take the initiative to give them something, they wouldn't be able to find a way.
Although Ninian was only at the very edge of the Rakshasa royalty, she was still someone the Heaven and Earth Pavilion had to curry favor with.
Moreover, the female shopkeeper decided that after the hammer fell, she would offer up the Resplendent Star Tear with both hands and return the 130,000 gold coins in full.
At this moment, a fat and muscular middle-aged Rakshasa man dashed in and knelt down on one knee in front of Ninian. "Greetings, Eighteenth Concubine. Your presence brings light to the Heaven and Earth Pavilion!"
This person was the master of the Heaven and Earth Pavilion.
Every time this happened, Ninian would feel extremely honored. She lazily waved her hand and said, "Get up!"
After the master of the Heaven and Earth Pavilion got up, he immediately went up and personally wrapped the Ghost King's Eye. Then, he offered it to Ninian with both hands.
This was really a meteoric rise!
In order to obtain the Ghost King's Eye, Lan Ling had to take out three treasures to attract the attention of the Heaven and Earth Pavilion. He also had to wait for three days to participate in the auction. He couldn't even buy it in advance.
And as long as Ninian appeared, the master of the Heaven and Earth Pavilion would take the initiative to kneel down in front of her and offer it up with both hands.
From the looks of it, he didn't even have to pay half a gold coin.
And all this was only because she had become the 18th concubine of the Young Rakshasa King.
What the hell did the Young Rakshasa King see in her?
Ninian was about to take the Ghost King's Eye when Lan Ling couldn't care less anymore. He directly stretched out his hand and said, "131,000 gold coins."
As soon as he said this, the entire place fell into a dead silence.
The air became extremely cold.
Everyone's gaze turned to Lan Ling.
The few warriors beside Ninian narrowed their eyes and stared at Lan Ling!
The Young Rakshasa King had the rules and was unwilling to take it by force. That was why the 18th concubine had personally come to the auction. In the end, there was still someone who didn't know better. Did he really disregard the dignity of the Rakshasa royal family?
Immediately, the master of the Heaven and Earth Pavilion looked coldly at the female manager who was hosting the auction.
That female manager immediately knelt on the ground and remained motionless. She said in a trembling voice, "I am guilty, I am guilty!"
The master of the Heaven and Earth Pavilion said coldly to Lan Ling, "This guest, our pavilion does not welcome you. Please leave!"
Then, more than ten powerful energy auras appeared in the surrounding darkness. There were at least 15 Great Demon Warriors staring at Lan Ling covetously.
What the f * ck.
It was impossible to use force now!
Was the Rakshasa royal family so overbearing?
Even the 18th concubine of the Young Rakshasa King couldn't be offended?
Was he supposed to just watch as the Ghost King's Tear fell into Ninian's hands and into Constantine's hands?
Was he supposed to just watch as the Flame Demon Tribe perished?
The Ghost King's Eye falling into Constantine's hands not only meant that the Mirror Demon King didn't have enough Mental Energy, but it also meant that Constantine could directly break the illusion of the Ghost Realm.
At this moment, a hoarse voice sounded. "Is there any logic in chasing away a guest when the Heaven and Earth Pavilion is doing business?"
This voice was very special, and it was hard to tell whether it was a man or a woman.
Then, a person stood up and lifted her hood, but her face could still not be seen because she was wearing a golden mask.
Suddenly …
The master of the Heaven and Earth Pavilion trembled. Then, without saying a word, he knelt on both knees and remained motionless.
Everyone present knelt on the ground.
Previously, everyone had knelt on one knee in front of Ninian. But now, not only did they kneel on both knees, but their entire bodies were prostrated on the ground, including those warriors beside Ninian.
A female warrior gently tugged at Ninian's skirt.
Ninian was stunned, then she also knelt on both knees.
"Greetings, Princess Sha Yan!"
The person with the hoarse voice was the daughter of the Rakshasa King, Princess Sha Yan.
When she was born, her crying voice was hoarse, so the Rakshasa King named her Sha Yan.
As the eighteenth concubine of the Young Rakshasa King, Ninian was considered the most marginal figure in the Rakshasa royal family. And this Princess Sha Yan was a true member of the Rakshasa royal family.
Princess Sha Yan glanced at him coldly and said, "Since it's an auction, let's make a fair deal. Don't ruin the reputation of the Rakshasa Clan."
"Yes!" The master of the Heaven and Earth Pavilion kowtowed.
"Continue!" Princess Sha Yan said.
...
After the commotion, the auction continued.
"One hundred and thirty-one thousand gold coins," Lan Ling called out.
"One hundred and forty thousand gold coins!" Ninian hesitated and gritted her teeth.
"One hundred and fifty thousand gold coins!" Lan Ling called out.
"One hundred and sixty thousand gold coins!" Ninian was determined to win, but this was already the highest price she could offer. Her one hundred and thirty thousand gold coins, plus the thirty thousand gold coins given by her master, the Young Rakshasa King, came to a total of one hundred and sixty thousand gold coins.
"One hundred and sixty-one thousand gold coins." Although Lan Ling only had one hundred and fifty thousand gold coins, his first two treasures were sold for more than one hundred and forty thousand gold coins. In addition to the Nirvana Blood, there was no pressure at all to call out one hundred and sixty thousand gold coins.
Ninian wanted to flare up, and her expression became extremely ugly.
But...
She did not dare to do so, because she was just a fox borrowing the tiger's might.
With Princess Sha Yan of the Rakshasa royal family sitting here, no one dared to show favoritism.
A middle-aged female warrior at the side said, "Madam, we can find him privately and get the Bewitching Star Tear from him."
So, Ninian gave up.
The female shopkeeper directly dropped her hammer and announced that the Bewitching Star Tear belonged to Lan Ling.
Lan Ling finally got the Ghost King's Eye!
