Dai Hyuk’s voice was a little hoarse with excitement, “180 billion now, it’s not the first time that a Fairy Star treasure auction has been held, but 180 billion is definitely a first for this price. It shows that this ring hides a great secret, although we don’t know this secret, I believe the bidders will definitely know ……”
In an unusual box on the third floor of the auction venue, a man with a cloak covering his face clenched his fist. At an auction like Fairy One, no one could see his face with his hood on, in fact he stood out a little more. After all, there weren’t many people with cloaks in the entire auction room.
For him, these were not even a problem. He didn’t care what people thought of him, as long as he knew what he was doing. In his eyes, even the best disguise was nowhere near as good as this cloak of his.
In order to come to this auction, he had raised a total of twenty-one billion, and for that ring, he had given up all three of the previous jade slips.
Amidst Dai Hyuk’s hoarse cries, he did not hesitate to scratch out the price of twenty-one billion. If the ring was still not auctioned off this time, he would make a bid to snatch it up. There were also the three jade slips, which were also among the things he would snatch up.
“Oh my, it’s twenty-one billion, this bodacious guest has directly smashed down twenty-one billion ……”
Dai He was still selling and shouting, Di Jiu could only sigh as he stopped his offer. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to make an offer anymore, but he didn’t have that much money. It was a good thing that he didn’t have much fancy for this ring, after all, it was an item that he couldn’t figure out. He had chosen to make an offer before simply because the ring was being competed for by multiple high bidders, that was all.
There was still a long time left in the auction, and if this ring could not be auctioned, there might be something better later.
Not only did Di Jiu stop his offer, this price almost swept the room, and there was no more second offer.
After half a day of calling for no one to raise the price, instead of continuing to shout, Dai Jiu abruptly said, “It is now time for a break in the middle of the auction, so please eat or order in a meal for your guests. The auction will continue in one hour.”
It was clear to anyone who had attended such auctions that this was deliberate on the part of the auctioneer. This was the time for people to get their money together, and some people who wanted the ring but didn’t have enough money could take advantage of the opportunity to get their money together. Of course, there was also a break in the auction, so it was fine to go for lunch at this time.
Di Jiu also understood the way of this, so he should have asked people to get the money together and go. He hesitated for a moment and did not go to raise the money. In fact, if he went to raise money, he could still raise some more. He had an extremely high quality power enhancing medicinal liquid on him, and this medicinal liquid could definitely fetch a good price if he took it to the auction.
Di Jiu would not take this kind of medicinal liquid to sell it for money unless he had no other choice. Unless he saw something top-notch and good that he had to get himself, just like those three jade slips just now. Otherwise, if he took this kind of medicinal liquid to sell for money, he would be looking for unpleasantness for himself. Even though he was now at the third level of Qi cultivation and had opened up his spiritual power, he didn’t want to be watched by too many eyes, and besides he had to go to the Fairy Star. Once he was watched by too many eyes, it would definitely be a problem for him to go to Fairy Star.
The potion to increase his power was taken out, and it was unlikely that he would want to not be stared at.
Another reason was that Di Jiu did not find the ring to be of much use, a mere ring that was over 200 billion was a little too high.
The man with the cloak hated it so much that his fists were clenched tightly, but unfortunately he could only watch as the auctioneer temporarily adjourned the auction and allowed someone else to raise the money.
An hour soon pa*sed and when the auction began again, Daeh began hissing again about the mystery of the ring. To her disappointment, no one was able to offer more than the twenty-one billion. Twenty-one billion was a bit too high, and not something that anyone could just take out.
In desperation, she could only choose to quote a second time.
As Dai Hyuk’s voice came out with the third bid, the man wearing the hood breathed a sigh of relief that the ring had finally arrived.
The auction ended with an astounding sale price, and the ring, whose purpose was unknown, was finally sold for the horrific price of twenty-one billion.
The entire auction room was in chaos for nearly five or six minutes before it gradually quieted down.
Perhaps it was because the price of this ring was so outrageous that Dai He, in his excitement, did not knock down the gavel in his hand to stop the sound of the scene.
Only after the scene had quietened down did Dai Hyuk continue to raise his hand to start the auction for the next item, a shop in Fairy Star Square.
Although many people started to compete again, Di Jiu was not half interested. If he didn’t still have a lot of money on him, he would have even planned to leave the auction to find somewhere to study these three jade slips.
Luckily, his box was also good, so it was the same to study the jade slips here.
The first jade slip was taken out by Di Jiu, and sure enough there were a few words on it that he didn’t recognise either. From the surface of the jade slip, it looked like it was made from an unusual piece of jade. As for what element was hidden inside as Zeng Dongling said, Di Jiu was not able to tell.
Di Jiu originally suspected that the jade slip was something written with spiritual power, and after not being able to see anything on the surface, he immediately brought the jade slip closer to his forehead.
With his current spiritual power, the closer the jade slip was to his brow, the easier it was for him.
Some ripples so faint that they were almost invisible were pounced on by Di Jiu, these ripples were very mysterious, this was ……
Di Jiu thought of a spell formation, these ripples formed what seemed to be a spell formation line that appeared to be hidden. Unfortunately, he didn’t know the dao of the formation, so he could only be as good as reading a heavenly book.
When Di Jiu’s spiritual power penetrated in again, a large amount of information swept over. Di Jiu’s head ached and he hurriedly took away the jade slip.
It took several minutes to calm down before Di Jiu placed the jade slip on his forehead again. This time he had experience and his spiritual power slowly penetrated in.
The information in the jade slip was also calmly read by him, it was a language text jade slip, a written language of the cultivation world, besides that there was a large amount of cultivation information in it, it should be a special cultivation language text jade slip for cultivators.
Half an hour later, when Di Jiu felt dizzy, he had already finished reading the entire jade slip’s language text.
Di Jiu took down the jade slip and looked at the simple piece of jade slip in his hand in awe, and in his heart he even had some disbelief. In just half an hour, he had actually learnt a language, and not only that, he could also use use this kind of writing. This kind of spiritual power that could be stretched out was just too heavenly, learning things was like being imprinted in his mind.
At the same time, he also learnt that the spiritual power he had opened up was not owned by him alone. All immortal cultivators have spiritual power, it’s just that the fastest everyone’s spiritual power is also usually generated at the fourth Qi cultivation level which is the middle Qi cultivation level, while he generated his spiritual power at the third Qi cultivation level.
This kind of spiritual power has a special name, called divine consciousness or divine thought. Divine Consciousness arises from the Sea of Consciousness, which is born in the Purple Mansion, and the stronger the cultivation level, the stronger the Sea of Consciousness.
This divine consciousness was indeed a good thing, and this jade slip was also a good thing. Apart from that, Di Jiu also learned about magic treasures, refining materials, spiritual herbs, cultivation sects, cultivation levels and other specialized terms ……
The cultivation world not only has those who specialize in immortal arts, but also alchemists, refiners, and spell formers, talisman makers, and so on.
Everything has a grade, such as the grade of potions, the grade of magic treasures, the grade of talismans ……
These are all still within Di Jiu’s acceptable range, but as for the latter, what about the transmigration, the existence of the Yuan Shen, the taking of the body, etc. are all completely beyond Di Jiu’s comprehension.
What made Di Jiu’s heart flutter the most was that after divine sense was generated, he could control the flying sword through divine sense and then fly in the air. This was definitely not as simple as standing in the air for ten seconds anymore, but truly travelling the sky. Flying swords, one must get flying swords.
Because of this jade slip, a vast and boundless world of cultivation opened its wide doors to him, all of which he once dared not even think about ……
“Oops, not good ……,” Di Jiu suddenly thought of something and stood up abruptly.
The ring, the ring that was auctioned off earlier must be a storage ring.
Di Jiu grabbed his hair, it was indeed ignorance that was the most terrifying. If that ring was a storage ring, not to mention the twenty-one billion, even if it was more money, he would still try his best to buy it back. If he didn’t have enough money, he would go and get it together.
It would be too late to regret again that this possible storage ring was purchased away by someone he didn’t even know.
The three jade slips he had were probably not even a corner of that ring, who knew how many good things were inside that ring? With a sigh, Di Jiu knew that he had missed a chance.
After a long time, Di Jiu sat down again. If there were two things in front of him, a ring and a jade slip. The jade slip was the one that opened the door to his cultivation knowledge, and the ring was a storage ring that either had something or nothing inside, so which one would he choose? The guy who harvested the ring must have given up the jade slip for the ring, so what about him?
“I’ll choose the jade slip!” Di Jiu muttered, his heart suddenly calming down. Since he didn’t get a shot at it, it didn’t belong to him.
He chose the jade slip because it was the knowledge that was priceless, even though he might know the knowledge long after he chose the ring, but who knew if he would miss out on something more precious in between? Wasn’t the reason he missed out on the ring because of ignorance? Similarly, aren’t the people who took out the ring for the auction equally ignorant of its value? That’s why it’s like that, because they don’t have the knowledge.
