“Yes, it is true that the Universal Auction has resting loam. However, if senior goes in to view the treasures, he must be careful and must not touch the forbidden crystal. There was once someone who accidentally touched the forbidden crystal while viewing a treasure, and was consequently blown away on the spot by the strong protector of the Universal Realm Auction.” This Eternal Realm cultivator said in a cautious tone.
Ning Cheng took out another storage pouch and threw it to this Eternal Realm cultivator, praising him and saying, “Not bad, thank you. There are some divine crystals in here, as well as a Falling Scars Dao Pill, which is considered a reward for you.”
The fellow was hit with great happiness and was busy thanking Ning Cheng.
Even if the fellow did not remind him, Ning Cheng would not have touched the forbidden crystal when he entered the exhibition hall of the Ten Thousand Realms Auction to view the treasures. For someone to be able to bring out treasures for people to view, All Worlds Auction could definitely not do it without great strength.
“Old Gas, you and Chasing Ox go to the Heavenly Rest Inn across the street and find some spacious rooms, I’ll go to the Ten Thousand Realms Auction to take a look.” Ning Cheng was in a hurry to go to the Ten Thousand Realms Auction, one was because he wanted to see the resting loam, and another was because he was a little worried about Jiang Man and Mu Yue Ping. The main reason was that Jiang Man and Mu Yue Ping’s cultivation levels were just a little too low.
According to reason, Jiang Man and Mu Yueping should have arrived in the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven as well. Since they had arrived in the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven, the two would not have left so quickly. If they really hadn’t left, why had they not returned his message?
……
The Ten Thousand Realms Auction stood in the middle of the main street of the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven, covering an enormous area, and the main building outside was built with even more grandeur, showing the status of the Ten Thousand Realms Auction in the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven.
Even though it was not the time when the auction house’s exhibition hall was open, nor was it the time for the auction, there were still two Nurtured Dao Saint Emperors standing at the entrance of the Ten Thousand Realms Auction.
Ning Cheng was about to walk up and ask when the next exhibition of treasures would be when he suddenly heard a familiar voice transmission, “Brother Ning ……”
Ning Cheng immediately stopped, he had already identified who this voice transmission was, Mu Yue Ping.
Mu Yue Ping was here, why didn’t she come up to see him directly, but instead transmitted a voice to him? Ning Cheng did not need to turn around, his divine sense had already seen Mu Yue Ping’s disappearing back in the distant street corner. Ning Cheng hurriedly chased after her, Mu Yue Ping was very fast, it was only after a few minutes that Mu Yue Ping stopped.
“Senior Sister Mu, why are you here? Where is Brother Jiang?” Ning Cheng asked in surprise as Mu Yue Ping’s face was haggard and her Dao rhythm was in disarray. The eyes of a mid-dao nurturing Saint Emperor were surprisingly covered in blood, and she had long since lost the serenity she had when she was standing on the Sea of Tai Su with Jiang Man.
“This is not the place to talk, Brother Ning please follow me.” Mu Yueping finished speaking and once again turned around and left.
Ning Cheng had some bad feeling in his heart, Mu Yue Ping was mysterious and secretive, Jiang Man had not heard anything halfway, it looked like something had gone wrong.
Mu Yue Ping quickly brought Ning Cheng to an extremely remote rest house, as soon as he entered the room, Mu Yue Ping hit on a forbidden sad voice and said, “Brother Ning, do you have any way to save Brother Manchu.”
“What’s wrong with Brother Jiang?” Ning Cheng’s heart calmed down instead, since Mu Yue Ping wanted him to save Jiang Man, that meant that Jiang Man was still alright.
Mu Yue Ping tried to calm herself down before she slowly said, “Brother Manchu and I arrived in the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven four years ago, and only after we arrived did we realise that the Resting Soil was someone else’s shop treasure, and it was not for sale at all. By this time, there was no way for us to spread the news back to the Tai Su Realm. Later, Manchu and I discovered that there were all sorts of cultivation resources here, and as long as there were divine crystals, we could buy almost anything. The two of us were going to wait here for you to come over and use the resources here to break through to the Dao Transformation Realm again by the way.”
Speaking of this Mu Yue Ping’s expression rose somewhat with excitement, regret filling her eyes, “But that didn’t last long. Three years ago, a large auction was held in the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven. Among the treasures up for auction was a top-tier divine ability, the Innate Flame divine ability. This divine ability was something that could only be cultivated by cultivators who had cultivated the Cause and Effect Technique ……”
“Not good ……,” Ning Cheng said in a shocked voice. If something had not happened to Jiang Man, Ning Cheng would not have had this kind of foresight.
Now that Mu Yue Ping was talking about this divine ability, something had happened to Jiang Man again. Even if Ning Cheng was slow, he could still think that something should have gone wrong with Jiang Man’s bid for this divine ability.
Over ninety percent of this Cause Nirvana Flame Avatar was taken out by someone on a fishing expedition, and this fishing expedition was for the Cause Nirvana Merit. The person bidding for the Innate Flame Avatar must know the Cause and Effect Technique, otherwise he would not have paid the high price to bid for this Avatar.
Mu Yue Ping clenched her fist and said, “At that time, I didn’t attend the auction because I was in seclusion. After Brother Manchu saw this divine ability, he took out almost his entire fortune to bid for it. But I didn’t expect that this divine ability was a life-threatening talisman. As soon as Brother Manchu got his hands on this divine ability, he sensed that someone was staring at him. At this time, Brother Manchu also knew that he had been trapped.”
Ning Cheng’s heart however sank, this was a few years ago, and now Jiang Man still did not know if the bone scraps were still there.
When Mu Yue Ping spoke, her tone was already tinged with a choke, “After Brother Manchu knew that he had been trapped, he sent me a message the first time the auction ended. He told me how he had been trapped and then instructed me to immediately crush the communication beads and then change to a different place to stay and wait until you arrived. I listened to Manchu and moved away immediately, and I have not heard from him since. All these years, I have stayed here and wandered around the Ten Thousand Realms Auction every day, just to wait for you to come over.”
Jiang Man was still very decisive, his communication beads must have been crushed by him too, and I guess everything that had anything to do with Mu Yue Ping had been destroyed by him.
“What those people want should be the Karma Technique jade slip in my ring, right?” Ning Cheng asked.
Mu Yueping nodded, “I reckon that should be the case, these people are after that jade slip.”
Ning Cheng frowned, if the jade slip could be exchanged back to Jiang Man, Ning Cheng would not hesitate to give the jade slip to someone else. Ning Cheng knew very well that after the jade slip was taken out, Jiang Man would die even faster.
If it were him, he would definitely find a way to stall the other party. It was believed that after Jiang Man had suffered a loss, he would also think of dragging out the other party and wait for himself to come. I just don’t know if the other party has the patience, if not, Jiang Man is afraid that he will be in a bad way.
“Senior Sister Mu, I have dragged you guys into this matter, if it wasn’t for the resting soil, you and Brother Jiang wouldn’t have come to the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven.” Ning Cheng felt somewhat guilty.
Mu Yueping shook her head, “As long as we are still in the Void, sooner or later we will come to the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven, and sooner or later we will fall for it.”
Ning Cheng knew that what Mu Yue Ping said was right, a cultivator who practiced the Cause and Effect Technique and saw a Cause and Effect Technique Great Avatar, it would be strange if he did not want to find a way to get his hands on it.
“Senior Sister Mu, you don’t need to be in a hurry. There is no clue at all now, we have to find out first who released the Cause and Effect Flame Avatar.” Ning Cheng comforted, what worried him most in his heart was that the person who had taken out the Innate Flame Avatar would not have left any information at the Universal Auction.
After Mu Yue Ping had said all this, and with Ning Cheng on his side, his mood gradually calmed down, “Brother Ning, although I did not dare to go to the Ten Thousand Realms Auction to check these messages. I can guess that even if I went to check, I wouldn’t be able to find out anything. That person wouldn’t have left accurate information since he wanted the Karma Avatar. But we have another way.”
“What solution?” Ning Cheng immediately asked.
“Check the monitoring array records of the Ten Thousand Realms Auction, the Ten Thousand Realms Auction does allow others to check the monitoring array records, but it would cost ten million divine crystals to check one year’s.” Mu Yue Ping sounded certain, obviously investigating clearly.
Ning Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, “Fortunately, we’ll just check the one year that auction was held ……”
Mu Yue Ping shook her head and said, “That won’t work, the enquiries for the Universal Auction must start from now, for example if you want to check the records from five years ago, then you must pay fifty million divine crystals. If we check the ones from three years ago, we have to pay thirty million divine crystals.”
Ning Cheng marveled in his heart, this Ten Thousand Realms Auction was simply too good at business. Whether it was an exhibition or this kind of query, it was all a no-brainer billion dollar profit.
One could imagine how much wealth the Ten Thousand Realms Auction had amassed in total from its inception to now.
“In that case, we’ll check this for three years. There’s no time to lose, let’s go now.” After Ning Cheng finished speaking, he immediately stood up. Having already delayed three years, he could not waste another half minute.
Even if it was the matter of the resting soil, he had to wait until he had found out Jiang Man’s whereabouts.
Mu Yueping was grateful in her heart, Ning Cheng’s attitude let her know that the couple had not made the wrong friends.
She directly changed her address, “Brother Ning, I’m afraid that the Ten Thousand Realms Auction has a Hedonistic Saint Emperor sitting in it, so you should be more careful.”
She had heard a bit about Ning Cheng’s strength, he was a Dao Origin Saint Emperor, and his combat power was very strong, even stronger than an average Mixed Origin Saint Emperor. Because she could not see Ning Cheng’s cultivation level, this was why she had no bottom in her heart.
Ning Cheng comforted, “Don’t worry, Senior Sister Mu, I will be careful. Even if the Ten Thousand Realms Auction is stronger, it won’t be stronger than the Dao Court Army of the Taiyi Realm. Besides, the one who made a move against Brother Jiang probably wouldn’t be the Ten Thousand Realms Auction.”
These words were purely to comfort Mu Yue Ping, Ning Cheng was certain in his heart that the strength of the Ten Thousand Realms Auction was far stronger than the Taiyi Dao Court Army. There was even really a Realm Creation Realm powerhouse as Yi Sa had said, otherwise how could it have created such a big situation in the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven?
If Ning Cheng still had doubts when Yi Sa had previously said that the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven had hidden third-step powerhouses, now he did not have half a doubt. As soon as he arrived in the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven, he knew the importance of this place. If there were still third-step Dao-bearing powerhouses in this side of the void, they would definitely stay in the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven.
Mu Yue Ping thought that the strongest person in the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven was the Harmonious Dao Saint Emperor, that was because she was just not qualified to come into contact with the strongest person yet.
……
When Ning Cheng and Mu Yue Ping arrived at the entrance of the Ten Thousand Realms Auction for the second time, a Nurtured Dao Saint Emperor guarding the entrance stopped Ning Cheng, “Two fellow Daoists, the Treasure Exhibition and Auction of the Ten Thousand Realms Auction are in a month’s time, please come back in a month’s time.”
Ning Cheng hastily clasped his fist and said, “This fellow Daoist, please, we are not here today for the auction, but we want to check with the monitoring array records.”
