He knew that Ning Cheng coveted his Star Vein, he just didn’t expect Ning Cheng to have this trick up his sleeve either. Should he take this key or not?
To Duan Gantai, if Ning Cheng asked for too much, he would rather not have it and destroy it. He had obtained many good things in the Watchtower Hall, and without it the Time Hall was gone.
Shui Wushang’s voice rang out with some tremors, “The reserve price for this Time Eternal Watch Key is ten Star Veins, each increase in price must not be less than one Star Vein ……”
Even though she knew full well that the price started with Star Veins, she still trembled when she quoted this price. Using Star Veins as a unit to bid for an item was something she had never seen before.
Duan Gantai clenched his fist, he was ready to destroy it as soon as Ning Cheng offered more than ten star veins he didn’t want it. This was different from his previous purchase of the first key with twenty Star Veins, that key he had to purchase, otherwise it might be obtained by Ning Cheng for the Time Hall.
If this Time Hall key was destroyed, he would not get it and neither would Ning Cheng. He did not expect Ning Cheng to offer ten Star Veins, which was within the range of what he wanted to think about not, this guy was really cunning.
Ning Cheng did think twice about asking for ten Star Spirit Veins, he knew that if he asked for too much, Duan/Gantai might really not want them. Not only was this fellow devious, he was also very decisive. He had to quote a price that would make it difficult for Duan Gantai to choose and it would not be very painful to really buy them. With Duan Gantai’s possible fortune. Then ten Starry Sky Yuan Qi Spirit Veins would be just right.
Once the price of ten Starry Sky Yuan Qi Spirit Veins was quoted. All the people were in awe. Even those great powers in the box were completely subdued. Ten star veins were something that even they could not take out easily.
At this time, the auction hall fell silent instead, guessing that all the people wanted to see if anyone would bid for eleven Star Veins or not.
It was true that eleven Star Veins would not hurt him, and he was also willing to take out eleven Spirit Veins to buy this Time Eternal Hope Key. But he did not like this feeling of being counted on, especially by Ning Cheng. Only he, Duan Gantai, had ever counted on others, when had it been someone else’s turn to count on him, Duan Gantai?
Even if he were to purchase this key, he would have to do it his own way. He would never be swayed by others. The first time he took back his first Time Forever Hope Key, it was because he had no choice, but now he did not have no choice.
A full few minutes passed without a single bid, and Duan Gantai did not bid either. Ning Cheng could not sit still any longer, he was not willing to really destroy this Time Eternal Hope Key. When he said he would destroy it, he was only forcing Duan Gantai to bid for it, but he didn’t expect that Duan Gantai would not bid for any of the ten star veins, which made him feel bad.
If Duan Gantai was really unwilling to make a bid. Then he would have to destroy this Time Eternal Hope Key, and Duan Gantai had nothing to lose. On the contrary he had a lot to lose. Because he let Duan Gantai have three Time Eternal Hope Spoons at the same time, he might really be able to exchange it for many good things on Duan Gantai.
Ning Cheng was about to transmit a voice to Duan Gantai and threaten him with a few words, if he didn’t want it, then it would really be ruined. Instead, Duan Gantai took the initiative to transmit his voice, “Brother Ning, although my little brother is slightly wealthy, he doesn’t like to be blackmailed. Hey, if I were brother Ning, I would take back my words about destroying the key right now and then trade with junior brother privately, and I might even agree. Otherwise, it would be a slam dunk.”
Ning Cheng had wanted to threaten Duan Gantai a few times, but after hearing Duan Gantai’s words, he immediately became upset in his heart. A cold voice transmitted over, “Brother Duan doesn’t like to be blackmailed, and it just so happens that I don’t like to be blackmailed either. Since that’s the case, then it’s better to split up in two.”
For the sake of ten Star Veins, asking him to go back on his word and then beg Duan Gantai after taking back his own words, that was not a dream.
When Duan Gantai heard Ning Cheng’s words, his heart was shocked, he was really afraid that Ning Cheng would throw his weight around and destroy the Time Eternal Hope Key.
Shui Wushang’s voice broke the silence of the scene, “No one has bid for the Time Eternal Hope Key so far, it now enters the countdown to the abortive auction ……”
Duan Gantai knew he had to make a choice when he heard the countdown to the abortive auction. He didn’t like being blackmailed, but the Time Temple was something he had wanted to seek to seize for a long time. He had sought to acquire the Hall of Time even before the Hall of Watchfulness, and in much more time than the Hall of Watchfulness. Now that he was about to get his hands on it and it was to be destroyed before his eyes, how could he be willing to do that?
Just as Duan Gantai clenched his fists and prepared to be blackmailed once more, and as Ning Cheng was lamenting in his heart, an abrupt voice rang out in the auction hall, “I bid eleven Star Veins.”
There was really someone offering? Not only Duan Gantai, but also Ning Cheng froze. He had asked for ten Star Veins to punk Duan Gantai, but he hadn’t thought of punking anyone else. Now it was Duan Gantai who did not get it, but someone else did.
After a period of silence, the auction hall was once again agitated, they had actually seen the madness of buying a key with eleven Star Veins.
Shui Wushang was also slightly relieved, and to be honest, even though she knew that the key did not belong to her anymore, she was still a little reluctant to destroy this Time Eternal Hope Key that had once been obtained by her on the spot. She was naturally relieved that someone had made a bid, and then said aloud, “Box seven has offered eleven Star Veins, are there any higher bids? Eleven Star Veins at once ……”
Ning Cheng secretly sighed that Duan Gantai was really too shrewd to not make a bid. Until Shui Wushang called three times, Duan Gantai did not continue to raise his bid, and the Time Eternal Hope Key was purchased away by the person in box number seven.
However, this was not a bad thing for Ning Cheng, he could not care about who purchased the Time Eternal Hope Key from Box 7, Duan Gantai had to. As long as Duan Gantai wanted something from the Hall of Time, he would have to go and coordinate with the people in Box 7 and himself.
“Congratulations to this friend from Box Seven for winning the Time Eternal Hope Key.” With Shui Wushang’s congratulations, the Time Eternal Hope Key, an item that had only been offered by one person, was finally sold.
It was an odd thing that only one person had made an offer, but instead it fetched the highest price in the entire auction.
Shui Wushang once again held up a jade box and said. “The next thing we are going to auction is a set of Yi Tian Dan. Everyone heard it right. Not one, but a set of six in total. And every single one in this group of Eternal Heavenly Pills is of exceptional grade, if I’m not wrong, only Cang Caihe, the number one Dan Emperor in the Great Star of the Middle Heaven, can refine this grade of Eternal Heavenly Pills ……”
If the previous items were too far away from ordinary cultivators, the Yi Tian Dan was literally close to every cultivator in the hall who had come to participate in the bidding.
What has these cultivators torn is why do they have to bid in groups together? Wouldn’t it be better to bid one by one?
“The reserve price for this group of Eternal Hope Pills is sixty million Eternal Hope Pills, and each bid increase must not be less than one million Eternal Hope Pills. The bidding will now begin.”
As Shui Wushang announced the price, the price on the offer screen quickly flipped up.
The cultivators in the hall began to look for partners, after all, it was six Eternal Hope Pills, and six people combined to bid for exactly one for each.
In the end, this group of Yitian Dan was purchased away by the six people in the hall who joined forces for two hundred and thirty million Yongwang Dan. Not all people could be as rich as Duan Gantai or Ning Cheng, and for six people to join forces and put up over 200 million Yongwang Dan was already considered the richest of the rich.
Ning Cheng had his own reasons for putting up this set of Heavenly Pills for bidding, and the 200 million Winged Hope Pills made him very satisfied.
Following the auction, seven or eight more items were auctioned off. Ning Cheng did not bid on any of them. Ning Cheng noticed Duan Gantai, from the start of the auction until now. He hadn’t called for a single bid.
“The next item we are going to bid on is a top grade Star Spirit Fruit, which I believe many of you have already guessed. Yes, it is the Starry Sky Root Chi that we have advertised. The Starry Sky Rozhi is a treasure that can refine the Eternal Emperor’s Return Pill, a supreme spirit fruit that can allow a strong person of the Life and Death realm to advance to Eternity. I believe that there are many people here who have come for the Starry Sky Roji.”
Shui Wushang’s words were not wrong, if the Eternal Emperor’s Return Pill was something that all Heavenly Fate Realm cultivators desperately needed, then naturally the Starry Sky Lohia was a treasure that Life and Death Realm powerhouses wanted to obtain even in their dreams.
Not to mention others, Ning Cheng and Duan Gantai had come all the way here for the Starry Sky Luo Zhi. Although the Eternal Heavenly Pill was precious, its rank was not too high, and an ordinary Dan Emperor could refine it as long as he could obtain the corresponding Starry Sky Spirit Herbs. However, the Eternal Emperor Returning Pill was not something that ordinary Dan Emperors could refine, and more importantly, the main spirit fruit for refining the Eternal Emperor Returning Pill, the Starry Sky Luo Zhi, was even more rare to find.
As soon as the Starry Sky Luo Zhi came out, Duan Gantai immediately put aside the matter of the Eternal Hope Key of Time. Even if he wanted to negotiate with the cultivator who had purchased the Time Eternal Hope Key, he would have to wait until he got his hands on the Starry Sky Luo Zhi. Moreover, he also guessed that Ning Cheng might also be here for the Starry Sky Luo Chi, and no matter what, he could not let Ning Cheng obtain it.
As Ning Cheng and Duan Gantai focused their attention, the rest of the cultivators who had come for the Starry Sky Luo Chi focused their attention as well.
Shui Wushang displayed the jade box containing the Starry Sky Luo Chi in his hand, and then said, “The reserve price for the Starry Sky Luo Chi is one million Heng Yuan Dan, each time the bid is increased, it must not be less than one hundred thousand Heng Yuan Dan, now the bidding begins.”
This price discouraged many cultivators from competing, even for Life and Death realm cultivators, not everyone could come up with millions of Heng Yuan Dan, and the starting price for this Starry Sky Luo Zhi was too high.
If it was an Eternal Emperor’s Return Pill, with a starting bid of one million Heng Yuan Dan, then there was still something to say. A single Starry Sky Rosebud also dared to start the bidding at one million Heng Yuan Dan, this was simply asking for a sky-high increase without paying it back.
The asking price for a Starry Sky Rosebud is indeed high, but even if the price is high, there are still people who want it at such an auction. Think about the fact that even the eleven star veins of the Time Eternal Hope Spoon were wanted, let alone a mere million constant yuan pills.
Every cultivator who has advanced to the Life and Death realm is thinking of eternity. And there is only a small chance of eternity, so if you don’t grab that small chance, you might have missed out on a lifetime.
“One million one hundred thousand Heng Yuan Dan.”
“One million three hundred thousand Heng Yuan Dan.”
……
“Two million one hundred thousand constant yuan dan.”
“Two million two hundred thousand ……”
The price for the Starry Sky Roshi soon came to two million four hundred thousand Heng Yuan Dan, this price was already very high, but at this time someone once again called out, “I bid three million Heng Yuan Dan, I am bound to get this Starry Sky Roshi.”
