As soon as Ning Cheng heard the beautiful woman’s words, he knew that such treasures were not usually measured in star coins. If he himself asked for star coins, then he would definitely be at a disadvantage.
“Daoist friend if you want star coins ……”
Ning Cheng did not wait for the beautiful woman to put her words into words before waving her hand and saying, “I only need a very small amount of star coins, so it’s mainly better to give me the Eternal Hope Pill. As for the price, I can’t accurately estimate it, so I’ll let you say it and I’ll see if it’s appropriate.”
“Good, how about one million Yongwang Dan and five hundred million purple coins?” The beautiful woman was dry and quickly stated a price.
One million Yongwang Dan This was somewhat unexpected for Ning Cheng, back then he had obtained several hundred thousand Yongwang Dan in that Dan Pond.
“Five million Yongwang Dan, one billion purple coins.” Ning Cheng knew that Time Stones were precious, yet he did not know exactly how much they could be sold for. He simply raised the price high, leaving the other party to bargain.
“Sold.” The beautiful woman did not return the price at all, and said it was a deal the moment Ning Cheng finished saying the price. At the same time, she raised her hand and put away Ning Cheng’s Time Stone, and took out another ring and handed it to Ning Cheng, “This contains the things you need.”
Ning Cheng knew that he had quoted a low price, not expecting this beautiful woman to be so cunning.
Ning Cheng grabbed the ring, casually swept his divine sense, nodded to the beautiful woman, turned around and went downstairs, quickly leaving the Zu Tian Merchant Hall.
The beautiful woman sent out several messages a few moments after Ning Cheng had left. In just a short incense burning time, the entire Zu Tian Starry Sky City knew one thing, that a time stone would appear at the auction held by the Zu Tian Merchant Hall tonight.
The appearance of the Time Stone at the auction, this matter had completely caused a stir in Zelestial Starry Sky City.
At a time when the Immortal Jade Star was about to open, Zuotian Starry Sky City could be said to be full of great powers, and just pulling one out could be a Destiny Realm powerhouse.
What do the powerful need? Not low-level cultivation resources, not star coins, and even less ordinary magic treasures. Rather, it is the top-notch stuff. What was the top of the line? Of course it was treasures that could sense the power of the Laws.
Because of this, once the Time Stone came out, it instantly stirred up the entire Zetian Starry Sky City. Some experts who had not planned to go to the auction. One after another, they changed their minds and wanted to go to the auction.
It was just that the boxes for the auction were limited. Who would dare to buy a treasure like the Time Stone without a box for ordinary cultivators? Some of the boxes ordered instantly became sought-after items, and many even transferred them out at a hundred times the price.
……
In Zuotian Starry Sky City Man Lun Starry Sky’s residence, Man Lun Emperor’s face was incomparably gloomy, he was sure that someone had hidden the time stone when they came out from the Time Desolate Domain, unfortunately he did not find out.
Moreover, he was also certain that this fellow who had obtained the Time Stone was definitely a casual cultivator, if it was an ordinary sect and power cultivator, would he not be idiotic enough to put the Time Stone up for sale? Even if he couldn’t use it now. There would be a time when it would be useful in the future. Unfortunately, even though he was a great emperor, he could only coil up in the Zetian Star City.
……
“Senior sister Qiong, do you know what has appeared in Zuotian Star City? The time stone ah. The Holy Lord will definitely go over there, and there is no one who is a Heavenly Fate Realm cultivator who doesn’t want something like the Time Stone.” Jing Yi Yi deliberately came to the place where Shi Qiong Hua was cultivating and told Shi Qiong Hua about this matter.
“Time Stone?” Shi Qiong Hua stood up in shock, she had ten Time Stones on her. These had been given to her by Ning Cheng. She also knew that such things were precious and she did not even dare to take them out. Even if she were to take them out, she would have to find out the true relationship between herself and Ning Cheng before she could do so.
Now the Time Stone had appeared in Zu Tian Starry Sky City. Did that mean that Ning Cheng had not fallen and had come back again? She remembered what Ning Cheng had said, “I’m fine, you don’t have to worry about me.”
“Senior Sister Yi Yi, do you want to go and take a look?” Teacher Qiong Hua knew what Jing Yi Yi meant, she was saying this in front of herself, so that the Holy Lord would take them to have a look as well.
Jing Yi Yi hurriedly said, “Yes, you go and talk to the Holy Lord. The Holy Lord likes you a lot and might agree.”
If it was something else. Master Qionghua definitely did not want to go over there. But the Time Stone concerned Ning Cheng and some issues she did not understand. The desire to go and see it arose in her heart as well. She even wanted to know if that Time Stone was the one that Ning Cheng had taken to bid for.
“There are many people going to grab the Time Stone this time, so my chances of going aren’t very good. But I will still go, when the time comes, the auction will bring out the Time Stone for everyone to see, this kind of thing contains the laws of time, and it is beneficial to look at it. Since you two want to go, you can come with me too.” Seeking Hui’s voice reached Shi Qionghua and Jing Yi Yi’s ears in time.
“Many thanks, Holy Lord.” Jing Yi Yi and Shi Qiong Hua hurriedly bowed in thanks.
……
When Ning Cheng disguised himself as an ordinary middle-aged man and arrived at the Speedy Star Rest Building, Zi Chejun had been waiting for a long time.
“Brother Zi Che, I was delayed by some matters just now.” Ning Cheng entered the compartment and struck the ban while doing so.
Zi Chejun said with some guilt, “Brother Ning, I have participated in several auctions and have not succeeded in purchasing one. This time I have purposely raised some purple coins, and I am afraid that it is still a bit insufficient, I am really sorry.”
Ning Cheng smiled, “It’s alright, just give me the auction box you booked and I will go by myself.”
“But I feel guilty, I took something from Brother Ning and didn’t help much.” Zi Chejun took out the jade token for entering the box and handed it to Ning Cheng, his tone still a little embarrassed.
Ning Cheng laughed and patted Zi Chejun on the shoulder and said, “Brother Zi Che, you have helped me too much. After I arrived in the Great Central Heavenly Sky, you are the one friend who has helped me the most. In the future, if Brother Zi Che needs any help from me, just ask.”
In Ning Cheng’s opinion, Zi Chejun was a person who was friend enough. Without Zi Chejun, he would not have known about the Immortal Jade Star, and he would not have been able to save Qiong Hua. The jade token to enter the Immortal Jade Star, Zi Chejun had definitely been thinking of a way to do so, it was just that his ability was indeed limited anymore.
“Many thanks to Brother Ning. Brother Ning should be careful about hiding when he goes to the auction today, I’ve heard that a time stone has appeared at this auction. This time stone has attracted many great powers to the auction.” When Zi Chejun saw Ning Cheng say this, he was no longer pretentious.
“Brother Zi Che don’t worry.” Ning Cheng laughed, it wasn’t your first time attending an auction, not to mention that he was still inside the box and had a top-notch disguise mask.
The two of them talked for a while longer and drank a few pots of spirit wine before they left the Speedy Star Rest Building.
……
The number of auctions that the Zuotian Merchant Hall had held was truly innumerable. The auction held this time was just one of countless times. If we were to talk about the scale, it could only be considered medium at most. Because of the sudden appearance of the Time Stone, this auction had escalated dramatically. A large number of great powers came to the auction. This made the auctioneer not only remove some ordinary goods, but also add many top-notch treasures.
These powerful people who had come from the major stars. What they lacked the most was star coins, there were eternal hope pills, and even constant yuan pills were quite a lot.
Before Ning Cheng went to the auction, he had also made a point to enquire about the exchange ratio between the Eternal Hope Pills and the Violet Coins. When he knew that theoretically 10,000 Violet Coins could be exchanged for one Everlasting Hope Pill, and that the actual Everlasting Hope Pill was very difficult to exchange for, he knew that his one billion Violet Coins was completely a fraction of what the other party had thrown out, and that the other party did not even look at it.
With a few hours to go before the auction, Ning Cheng arrived outside the auction hall. The place had already been overcrowded. There were signs everywhere to buy auction boxes, and the prices were a hundred or even several hundred times higher.
This made Ning Cheng thankful to Zi Chejun, if it wasn’t for Zi Chejun, he definitely wouldn’t have been able to get a box.
As soon as Ning Cheng entered the venue, many people came up and asked if there were any private boxes, but Ning Cheng did not care about them. He quickly found box number three hundred and ninety-one, opened the ban and entered, and the first thing he did was to continuously set up formations and shielding bans in the box.
Sure enough, it didn’t take long for all sorts of information about the exchange boxes to appear on the array display in Ning Cheng’s box.
Ning Cheng closed his eyes and did not even sweep his divine sense out.
A few hours passed swiftly. Ning Cheng’s divine sense swept out and the entire auction hall was already filled with people. An incomparably strong divine sense swept through Ning Cheng’s divine sense, causing Ning Cheng to be secretly alarmed in his heart. Luckily, his box not only had the auctioneer’s shielding formation. There were also some formations that he had set up himself. Coupled with the fact that he had disguised himself as a middle-aged man, there should not be any problems.
Why was Qiong Hua here? Ning Cheng quickly saw Shi Qiong Hua. She was sitting right next to the Sacred Lord of the Infinite Sacred Land with Jing Yi Yi, who obviously hadn’t gotten a box. It also looked like she had no intention of buying anything, and the seats were not even forbidden.
At this moment, a pretty female cultivator wearing a tight-fitting cultivator’s uniform stepped onto the middle auction stage. This female cultivator had six star wheels behind her, and her cultivation level should be at the peak of the Heavenly Fate realm. The Zuotian Merchant Hall was so deep, a random female cultivator who came up for auction had a cultivation level far higher than his.
With a slight bow to the surroundings, this female cultivator said in a crisp voice. “Friends, I am Dai Jia from the Zuotian Merchant Hall. I welcome you to my Zuotian Merchant Hall for this evening’s auction. Many great powers and party emperors have come to this auction. You are my predecessors. You are also valuable guests of the Palace. I apologise that my Zuotian Merchant Hall does not have enough boxes to offer to all of you distinguished guests.”
All of them knew how hypocritical this female cultivator’s words were. But no one came forward to say more. The strength of the Zuotian Chamber of Commerce was renowned throughout the entire Middle Heaven Great Star, and ordinary Great Emperors were not qualified enough to wrestle with the Zuotian Chamber of Commerce. Would they care about this? All they cared about was how much they could earn.
“Here we formally enter the auction session, the first treasure we are selling today is a pair of Starry Sky Rings, a defensive magic treasure, a top grade Dao weapon. When an opponent attacks, it can form a beautiful stack of ring shadows. Not only can these ring shadows defend, but they can also weaken the opponent’s domain. What is even more precious is that the Starry Sky Ring is also a beautiful bracelet that can be worn on the hand, and for a female cultivator, there cannot be a better treasure than this.”
When Daija finished speaking, she held up the two Starry Sky Rings and brought up a beautiful ring with her hands. As she said this star ring was not only beautiful, but it was also a beautiful piece of jewellery.
Only after the display was finished did Daija smile and say, “The bidding for this pair of Starry Sky Rings will now begin, the reserve price is ten million purple coins, priority will be given to those who offer with the Eternal Hope Dan.”
This beautiful item immediately drew many offers, and most of the offers were from female cultivators.
Ning Cheng’s gaze fell on Shi Qiong Hua’s body and found that there was some longing in Shi Qiong Hua’s gaze and her hand was placed on the offer board, as if she wanted to make an offer but was afraid that there were not enough star coins. He immediately decided to purchase the pair of star rings and give them to Shi Qionghua.
