Ning Cheng had the intention of giving up when he took out the Yi Tian Dan for sale. He could sense Duan Gantai’s determination, and if he had to bid for the Starry Sky Luo Chi, then he would only be able to choke hard with Duan Gantai. He obviously did not have as much wealth as Duan Gantai, and comparing his spiritual veins with Duan Gantai was brain-dead, and using too many spiritual veins to bid for the Starry Sky Luo Chi was even more brain-dead of all brain-deads.
As for the offer to make Duan Gantai pay more for the Star Veins, Ning Cheng had not even thought about it. In his plan, he was going to reserve Duan Gantai’s Star Veins, so how could he possibly give them to the auction?
Duan Gantai had just traded in the Star Root Chi when Ning Cheng’s voice transmission came, “Congratulations to Brother Duan on his bid for the Star Root Chi, in order to let Brother Duan spend less on Constant Element Pills, I held back from making a bid.”
Duan Gantai let out a heave and similarly transmitted a voice, “Brother Ning has held back well, in fact, there is no use for Brother Ning not to hold back.”
“Brother Duan, do you know who took out that set of Extraordinary Yi Tian Dan for sale before, and do you know who refined it?” Ning Cheng simply did not care about Duan Gantai’s ridicule and continued to transmit his voice.
As soon as Ning Cheng’s words were spoken, Duan Gantai understood what Ning Cheng meant, he sneered and transmitted a voice, “Brother Ning wouldn’t say that you had refined that and then you wanted to help me refine the Eternal Emperor Return Pill, would you?”
Ning Cheng let out a heave, “Brother Duan guessed correctly, that set of Eternal Emperor Returning Pills was really made by me. I can refine Extraordinary Eternal Heavenly Pills, so naturally I am a Starry Sky Grade 9 Dan Emperor. Brother Duan was the one who obtained the Starry Sky Luo Zhi, if there was no one to help refine the pills, Brother Duan would have obtained the Starry Sky Luo Zhi even if he did. It would also be in vain. Brother Duan wouldn’t think that there are Dan Emperors everywhere who can refine Starry Sky Grade 9 pills, right? If Brother Duan really thinks so, then just forget I said anything.”
Duan Gantai said coldly, “No wonder Brother Ning not only didn’t fight for it, but also took out a set of Eternal Heavenly Pills for sale, Brother Ning is really good at calculating. As for whether or not I should ask Brother Ning to refine the pills. That depends on my mood.”
Duan Gantai naturally did not want to ask Ning Cheng to refine the pills, he knew that as long as he asked Ning Cheng to refine the pills, once the refinement failed, he could not do anything to Ning Cheng yet. If the refinement was successful, then Ning Cheng would definitely get the Eternal Emperor Returning Pill as well. Likewise, he also knew that what Ning Cheng had just said was all true.
Ning Cheng did not continue to pester Duan Gantai, he believed that as long as Duan Gantai wanted the Eternal Emperor Returning Pill, he would definitely find him sooner or later. As for Cang Caihe, hehe, that was also someone from his Xuanhuang Sect.
The auction continued. Duan Gantai seemed to know that he had become a popular figure, and he kept bidding on things after that. After a few days, the frequency of his bids was almost one of the most in the entire auction hall.
After seeing the ferocity of Duan Gantai’s bids, no one was willing to stand out and compete hard with Duan Gantai’s prices. Everyone seemed to know that when it came to being rich, this cultivator sitting in the hall was the richest.
Ning Cheng had also made a few bids, and the ones he made were all auxiliary spirit herbs needed to refine the Eternal Emperor’s Return Pill, as well as some good grade materials for refining weapons.
No matter if Duan Gantai would cooperate with him or not. He would have to find the Starry Sky Rootstones to refine the Eternal Emperor Restoration Pill. These auxiliary spirit herbs for refining the Eternal Emperor Returning Pill, he would naturally not let them go.
As for leaving the auction venue early, Ning Cheng did not even think about it. This kind of auction was definitely a rare occurrence. It wasn’t like he was short of time, so why should he rush to leave? Besides, he was still waiting for Duan Gantai to give him an answer.
When the auction was a large part of the way through, the entire auction hall knew that there were two rich guys in the hall. As soon as these two guys started fighting for the treasures, no matter how many Heng Yuan Dan they had, they would bid for them back.
It was on the last day of the auction. Ning Cheng didn’t even think that there was anything good coming out anymore, but Shui Wushang held up a wooden box.
As soon as this wooden box was lifted up. Ning Cheng felt the trembling of the Crowded Ghost Vine, and a wave of excitement flowed out.
“This is a Wood Origin Crystal. I believe that any wood cultivator, or alchemy cultivator would be interested in this one Wood Origin Crystal. Everyone knows that of the five elemental origin crystals, the most difficult to produce is the wood origin crystal. Even the value of a hundred Earth Origin Crystals would not be as valuable as one Wood Origin Crystal, I am afraid. The base price for the Wood Origin Crystal is five hundred thousand Heng Yuan Dan, and each bid increase must not be less than ten thousand Heng Yuan Dan ……”
Shui Wushang’s words were somewhat exaggerated, but despite this, as soon as her words fell, numerous cultivators frantically began to raise their bids.
Ning Cheng knew from the messages coming from the Unmercurial Ghost Vine that if the Wood Origin Crystal was devoured by the Unmercurial Ghost Vine, then the Unmercurial Ghost Vine would advance another level.
Even though Ning Cheng rarely relied on the Unmercurial Ghost Vine in battle, it was naturally best if the Unmercurial Ghost Vine could advance another level. Ning Cheng’s regard for the Unmercurial Ghost Vine was also due to the last time in the Wood Transformation Forest in the Eternal Night Domain. That time, if it wasn’t for the Unmercurial Ghost Vine, he would not have been able to break through the Wood Transformation Forest so easily.
From the intent of the Unmercurial Ghost Vine, Ning Cheng sensed that as long as the Unmercurial Ghost Vine advanced one more level, it might reach Starry Sky Level Seven, which was equivalent to a strong person at the Heavenly Plane Realm. It would be fine if Ning Cheng was poor, but not only was he not poor now, he was extremely rich.
Before Ning Cheng even started to make an offer, the price rose to one million six hundred thousand Heng Yuan Dan. Ning Cheng directly called out a price of three million Heng Yuan Dan, and when this price was sung out. The previously enthusiastic offer stalled for a moment, but it was only a stall, and someone soon refreshed Ning Cheng’s offer with a price of three million and one hundred thousand Heng Yuan Dan.
The one who refreshed Ning Cheng’s offer was Box 10, and many cultivators were wondering if the cultivator in Box 10 would have used the same method that the cultivator in Box 19 had used to suppress Ning Cheng if Ning Cheng had not clashed with the cultivator in Box 19 earlier.
“Four million Heng Yuan Dan.” Ning Cheng did not hesitate to refresh the price again, what he lacked the most right now was Star Veins and Constant Yuan Pills.
“This friend in row thirty-nine, seat one hundred and thirty-seven has bid four million Heng Yuan Dan, is there a higher price than this?” As Shui Wushang’s voice quoted the price, everyone was looking at Box 10, wanting to know if Box 10 would be annoyed after being robbed of the Wood Origin Crystal by this cultivator in the hall.
To the disappointment of most of the cultivators, Box 10 had no intention of coming forward to negotiate with Ning Cheng, and the Wood Origin Crystal was unsurprisingly obtained by Ning Cheng.
It was true that Wood Origin Crystals were many times more precious than other Origin Crystals. Ning Cheng had purchased it for four million Heng Yuan Dan, which was far beyond the value of the Wood Origin Crystal itself. In fact, the value of the Wood Origin Crystal would be very high at one million Hundred Yuan Dan, which made the people in the auction hall sigh that more Hundred Yuan Dan was cool.
Ning Cheng did not bid again in the next auction, and the item that pressed the bottom was a very good grade flame. There were too many cultivators competing for the flame. Ning Cheng did not make a bid all the same.
He had the flame, it was not something that had to be obtained. If he bid for everything, he would offend a little too many people.
The flame was bid away by the cultivator in Box 3, and this auction by the Cang Pagoda Chamber of Commerce was over. Numerous cultivators left the auction hall, and Ning Cheng also stood up. He did not go out, but walked towards the auction’s consignment lane. All cultivators who had placed bids. They could all enter through this passage and take away the items they had obtained through the auction sale items.
Duan Gantai did not go out immediately either, he saw Ning Cheng stand up and enter the consignment passage, but walked towards the position of box number seven.
……
The auction had ended, but the cultivators who remained in the square in front of the Cang Pagoda Chamber of Commerce had not left much. These cultivators were wanting to see what would happen when Ning Cheng and Duan Gantai came out. What kind of blow would be dealt to them. There were also some cultivators who wanted to know who the person in box number nineteen really was.
Ning Cheng walked out of the auction hall with great satisfaction, this time he really did not suffer a loss by coming here. Not only had he obtained many things he wanted at this auction, he had also obtained a Lower Divine Artifact Lance.
On top of that, the Star Veins and Constant Element Pills and Eternal Hope Pills he had with him had not only not decreased, but had increased.
He now had as many as thirty Starry Sky Yuan Qi Spirit Veins on him, 20 million Constant Yuan Dan and 1.2 billion Winged Hope Dan. This was still something he had purchased in large quantities. Otherwise it would be even more.
“Coming out.” As soon as Ning Cheng came out, a cultivator saw his figure.
Ning Cheng saw the Life and Death Realm male cultivator in box number nineteen at a glance, and beside this Life and Death Realm male cultivator were two Eternal Realm powerhouses. One of them was already at the late stage of the Eternal Realm, and the other was at the early stage of the Eternal Realm. No wonder the bottom was so thick and dared to pit his spirit veins at the auction, it turned out that there were two Eternal Realm backstage.
What Ning Cheng was puzzled about was that he did not see Duan Gantai. How could the Life and Death realm cultivator in box number nineteen have spared Duan Gantai?
He was the one who had pitched Box Nineteen’s five million Eternal Yuan Dan. But Duan Gantai had directly slapped that guy away with a slap. It was only logical to say that Duan Gantai’s enmity with him was a little deeper.
Ning Cheng was puzzled at the moment. His divine sense then swept up Duan Gantai coming out of the auction hall. Seeing that Duan Gantai had come out even later than himself, Ning Cheng instantly knew what Duan Gantai had gone for. He laughed coldly in his heart, “This guy is really looking for a hole to burrow himself into. No matter how cunning you are, you wouldn’t have thought that I wouldn’t use the Time Eternal Hope Key now.
“It’s the two of them, one forcibly took away my five million Everlasting Hope Pills, and the other sneaked up on me and made a move during the auction.” This male cultivator of the Life and Death Realm in box number nineteen immediately called out after seeing the two of them, Ning Cheng and Duan Gantai.
At this moment, the onlookers all consciously moved to the side and the square in front of the Cang Pagoda Chamber of Commerce emptied out. At this time, Ning Cheng and Duan Gantai came out abruptly.
“This is Zong An, the Second Island Lord of Divine Devil Island, and this is my third brother, Bound Qiu Hongwen, the Third Island Lord of Divine Devil Island. You two should not be ordinary people either, why did you make a move against my Divine Devil Island’s disciple Chu Xinshan at the auction? If you bully my Divine Devil Island into having no one, then this is the place to spill blood today.” The one who spoke was the late Eternal Realm male cultivator, dressed in brown clothes, with a normal face, unable to see any joy, anger or sadness.
What was the Divine Devil Island, Ning Cheng really did not know. However, this fellow dared to directly say that he would make a move here, so he obviously had a certain status in the Demon Domain. Listening to the tone of this fellow’s voice, one could tell that the Divine Devil Island was used to being arrogant. The reason why he didn’t make a move right away should be because he saw that he and Duan Gantai had calm expressions and didn’t care about facing their two Eternal Realm powerhouses, so he wanted to inquire about his and Duan Gantai’s origins.
