Unrivaled Medicine God, page 812
Ye Yuan said in surprise, “There’s still such a mysterious divine essence?”
Dustless nodded and said, “If Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets says that someone can become a heavenly emperor, that person will definitely become a heavenly emperor powerhouse! If he says someone will die halfway, that person is bound to meet with a premature end! As long as it’s things that Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets predicted, it has never been wrong before!”
Ye Yuan was incomparably shocked in his heart. He did not expect that there was actually still a powerhouse who discerned heaven’s secrets so thoroughly!
What Ye Yuan did not know was that just a little earlier, Dao Ancestor Life quietly arrived at Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets’s manor.
“Profound Secrets, 500 years ago, Heavenspan Mountain’s abnormality, what do you think about it?”
Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets gave Dao Ancestor Life a very meaningful glance and said with a smile, “Life, it’s not like you don’t know my rules. Matters regarding the Heavenspan Mountain, I’m completely ignorant!”
If outsiders were to know that Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets actually talked to Dao Profound Life like this, they would definitely be incomparably shocked.
Dao Ancestors were high and above, showing disdain upon the world.
Even transcendent Heavenly Emperors were ants in front of them too.
But this Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets actually did not have the least bit of respect toward Dao Ancestor Life.
Dao Ancestor Life frowned and said, “This, I naturally know. I just wanted to ask you if the time has come or not!”
When saying this, Dao Ancestor Life had a solemn look, as if encountering an earth-shaking matter.
Something that could make a Dao Ancestor powerhouse so visibly moved naturally would not be that simple.
Profound Secrets heaved a sigh and said, “You’ve experienced the last epoch, you naturally have an idea in mind. This kind of thing, is there still a need to ask me? Everyone says that Dao Ancestors can live forever, but that’s just because they don’t live long enough. In this world, what can live forever is probably just the Heavenspan Mountain, right? Or maybe, even the Heavenspan Mountain isn’t undying and indestructible too! This kind of thing, who knows.”
Dao Ancestor Life’s expression changed. Profound Secrets’s words poked his sore spot.
The world all said that Dao Ancestors were above worldly considerations, but they did not know that Dao Ancestors had Dao Ancestors’ hardships too.
“In that case, it’s really coming?” Dao Ancestor Life said in a low voice.
Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets smiled and said, “Oh, Old Mei, so many years have passed, you still haven’t gotten over it? Life and death are decreed by fate. It’s not what you and I can control.”
Dao Ancestor Life’s expression flickered incessantly, and he said with a sigh, “Saying is easy but doing it is difficult!”
Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets gave him a glance and suddenly said, “On that day, I observed the celestial phenomena at night. In the south, Purple Qi surged to the sky. An abnormality is bound to happen. But this heaven’s secret, I can’t perceive it.”
Dao Ancestor Life’s gaze turned intent, his figure suddenly disappeared.
“Vast Universe!”
Before long, a middle-aged man appeared in front of Dao Ancestor Life.
“Dao Ancestor!” Heavenly Emperor Vast Universe said respectfully.
Heavenly Emperor Vast Universe was slightly fearful in his heart. It was rare for the dao ancestor to summon him one in a million years, what was this today?”
Dao Ancestor Life nodded and said, “You immediately send people to the south and search carefully for me. See in this recent 500 years, what kind of heaven and earth phenomenon appeared! I don’t want anything left out, understand?”
Heavenly Emperor Vast Universe hurriedly said, “Yes, this subordinate understands! This subordinate will go and send people right away!”
…
“In front of everyone, it’s the appetizer that the auction this time is starting with. Divine Dao rank five martial technique, Heavenly Profound Divine Sword! This martial technique is very powerful, one can cultivate all the way to Celestial Deity Realm! Each level cultivated, one can virtually sweep across all in the same rank! The base price is ten billion! Each increment has to be no less than 500 million!”
Jian Zhentao was clearly very experienced with this kind of auction because of his vast experience, stirring up the atmosphere at the scene with a few sentences.
Divine Dao rank five martial techniques were martial techniques created by at least Celestial Deity powerhouses. The power was naturally extraordinary.
And this cultivation method was clearly even more extraordinary. Jian Zhentao used sweeping across those in the same rank to describe it, it clearly let the auction liven up all at once even more authoritatively.
Very soon, this Divine Dao rank five martial technique was sold at a price of 16.5 billion.
Ye Yuan was not interested in this. No matter how strong the martial technique, it was also not as good as what was suitable for him.
Clearly, the Misty Sword Art was the most suitable for him!
The Misty Sword Art that was based on the Chaos Heavenspan Canon was something no martial technique could replace.
Sweeping across those in the same rank was merely a joke in front of Ye Yuan.
His current combat strength could already kill the majority of first-layered heaven Divine Lords.
Same rank?
To Ye Yuan, there was only jumping realms!
Uncle Huang persuaded ardently before Jing Lu realized Riverluck Capital City’s remarkableness, and also understood what their threat meant.
Jing Lu was arranged in the heaven rank area, which was also a private room. It was just that the private room was far lacking compared to the supreme area.
“Young Patriarch, our goal this time is the Boundless Heavenly Soul Stone. If the divine essence stones aren’t enough when the time comes, what should we do?” Uncle Huang said.
Jing Lu waved his hand and said full of confidence, “No worries, we brought 120 billion this time. It’s enough to win the bid for the Boundless Heavenly Soul Stone. The Boundless Heavenly Soul Stone is useful to the Divine Lord Realm, while its value to the Celestial Deity Realm isn’t that much. The price won’t be too high. This is a complete Divine Dao rank five martial technique. Our Melody Sun Imperial City obtaining it is also akin to adding wings to a tiger, who dares to say anything?”
Uncle Huang saw Jing Lu’s aloof and indifferent appearance and could not help letting out a sigh and no longer urged.
He knew this young patriarch’s temper. Say anymore and he would get angry.
The price of 16.5 billion already exceeded the value of this martial technique. Uncle Huang felt that it was not worth it.
It was just that these words, he did not dare to say it.
Afterward, several more things were auctioned. The final transaction prices were basically all above 20 billion.
The good things tonight were truly a lot!
But these things were not indispensable to Ye Yuan. He could not muster up much interest.
“I believe that tonight, quite a number of people are aiming for an auction item. This piece of Boundless Heavenly Soul Stone was discovered in an ore lode. Not only is the chunk extremely big, but it’s also very pure. This old man has already appraised it. It’s most suitable to use to help ninth-layered heaven Divine Lords and half-step Celestial Deity powerhouses to comprehend Heavenly Dao. This piece of Boundless Heavenly Soul Stone, the base price is 28 billion. Each increment is no less than one billion! Now, start bidding!”
“35 billion!” The moment Jian Zhentao’s voice faded, someone immediately raised by seven billion divine essence stones.
Uncle Huang was slightly disappointed at the side. This Young Patriarch Jing Lu was still too young, no patience at all.
Auctions this sort of thing, what was play was psychological warfare. How was it competing on the volume of voice?
“37 billion!”
“40 billion!”
“50 billion!”
Jing Lu directly added another 10 billion, everyone became quiet.
Chapter 1657. Backlash |
In a few bids, the price of the Boundless Heavenly Soul Stone directly doubled.
This stance of being determined to get it really cowed quite a number of people.
However, this was clearly not the final outcome.
With such a sucker placed there, how was there a reason to not cheat him?
Suddenly, a fifth-layered heaven Divine Lord powerhouse shouted, “51 billion!”
Jing Lu’s face fell. He was still pleased with himself for a while when he saw that he stumped everyone earlier.
He did not expect that in a blink of an eye, someone raised the price.
He gritted his teeth and said, “I don’t believe it! 52 billion!”
That person said coolly, “53 billion!”
Jing Lu was enraged until his face was livid and he continued, “60 billion!”
This time, that martial artist did not increase the price anymore. He said smiled faintly and said, “I don’t want anymore, better give it to him!”
The moment Jing Lu heard, his face could not help revealing a smug look and he said with a cold smile, “Fighting with this young master, can you afford to contend?”
Jing Lu’s voice was not concealed, everyone in the room heard it.
Those present were mostly clear-headed people, everyone’s faces revealed a knowing smile.
He slightly used a bit of trick and he directly increased by ten billion.
Uncle Huang could not bear to look straight ahead, but he could not speak up to warn either, his expression crumbling.
Jian Zhentao smiled slightly and said, “60 billion, is there still higher than 60 billion? If there isn’t this piece of Boundless Heavenly Soul Stone will belong to the Heaven No. 5 Room’s guest!”
Everyone was silent. Everyone felt that the Boundless Heavenly Soul Stone already exceeded its original value and that it was clearly not worth to make a move anymore.
Right at this time, a faint voice sounded out, “100 billion!” This made everyone feel surprised.
Among the audience, someone immediately whispered, “100 billion! Someone actually offered 100 billion to buy a piece of Boundless Heavenly Soul Stone! Isn’t this being a sucker?”
At this time, an extremely experienced person explained, “Heh heh, a little interesting! This isn’t a sucker, but an expert!”
“Mn? What do you mean?”
“Clearly, this piece of Boundless Heavenly Soul Stone, guests in Heaven No. 5 Room and Supreme No. 4 Room are determined to get it and absolutely won’t allow the slightest accident. But Supreme No. 4 Room’s guest has never made a move. He was waiting to see how much his opponent had! Now, his opponent is clearly only left with the Heaven No. 5 Room’s guest. And at this time, he raised the price to 100 billion all of a sudden. It has probably already reached Heaven No. 5 Room’s limits. This way, he can save divine essence stones to the greatest degree. Because Heaven No. 5 Room exposed too much!”
That person said in shock, “There’s actually still this kind of strategy?”
“That’s of course! At times, auctions will encounter this kind of situation. Some people are aiming at an item. No matter what, he has to win the bid. At this time, the tactic becomes very important. You look, Heaven No. 5 Room still wants to increase the price, but he already can’t increase it anymore!”
When Jing Lu heard this offer, his expression immediately became incomparably ugly.
He brought a total of 120 billion out. Right now, he was only left with 103.5 billion.
Ye Yuan’s price quote directly pushed his limit. He was unable to increase the price anymore.
Gritting his teeth, Jing Lu yelled, “103.5 billion!”
Then in the next second, Ye Yuan opened his mouth and said indifferently again, “105 billion!”
Bang!
Jing Lu smashed the tea table in front of him with a palm and said angrily, “Damn it! This person is a lunatic, right? To actually spend over 100 billion to buy a piece of Boundless Heavenly Soul Stone!”
Uncle Huang let out a sigh and said, “Young Patriarch, forget it. That person is the same as us, hell-bent on obtaining the Boundless Heavenly Soul Stone.”
Jian Zhentao also did not expect that this piece of Boundless Heavenly Soul Stone could be sold at such a high price.
“This piece of Boundless Heavenly Soul Stone belongs to the guest in the Supreme No. 4 room!” Jian Zhentao announced.
He was very curious just who was in this Supreme No. 4 Room, to actually play with auctioning tricks to such a high degree of perfection.
Actually, when Jing Lu called out 60 billion, he estimated that Jing Lu’s limit was roughly 100 billion.
But he had immersed in this for many years, his experience being exceedingly rich. That was how he had this estimation.
That Supreme No. 4 Room’s guest actually had such judgment too. Presumably, he must be an expert.
Jian Zhentao thought in his heart, this Supreme No. 4 Room is rather interesting. In a while, I must broaden my experience.
The following auctions had nothing to do with Ye Yuan anymore.
Even though the cost of buying the Boundless Heavenly Soul Stone far exceeded his expectations, he did not feel that there was anything.
As long as it could preserve Mu Lingxue’s life, forget about 100 billion, so what even if 1 trillion?
There were quite a number of forces present that came from Celestial Deity factions.
The last few auction items could only be used by Celestial Deity Realm powerhouses. The competition was also abnormally fierce.
These things were too far away for Ye Yuan. Moreover, Ye Yuan did not lack them either.
As long as he broke through to the Divine Lord Realm and opened up the Purple Extreme Hall’s second level, the good things inside were definitely too many to count.
After the auction ended, Ye Yuan went backstage to pay with divine essence stones. He did not expect that Jian Zhentao was actually already waiting there.
Jian Zhentao saw Ye Yuan, his gaze involuntarily turning intent.
He did not think that such a veteran bidding technique actually came from such a young person’s hands.
“Elder Jian!” Ye Yuan said with Jian Zhentao with clasped hands.
Toward this Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets, Ye Yuan was still very interested.
He very much wanted to understand what kind of Heavenly Dao laws could let them cultivate such mysterious divine essence.
Jian Zhentao smiled and said, “Indeed, heroes come from youngsters! I really didn’t expect that Supreme No. 4 Room’s guest was actually such a young man!”
At this time, Li Xing suddenly appeared and said, “Huhu, Elder Jian isn’t aware, Master Ye isn’t an ordinary young man!”
Jian Zhentao was slightly surprised and looked towards Li Xing and said, “Oh? How is he not ordinary?”
Li Xing smiled and briefly recounted Ye Yuan’s situation.
In his heart, Jian Zhentao was wildly in shock. He said somewhat disbelievingly, “Alchemy God Li, you can’t simply say this kind of words! This old man has lived to this ripe old age and could be said to be very knowledgeable and experienced. I’ve also not seen before void spirit divine pills more than a few times.”
Li Xing smiled and said, “This matter, Riverluck Capital City’s people are all aware. Moreover, how could this Li dare to talk rubbish in front of Elder Jian?”
Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets’s lineage proliferated, their family extremely massive, and they were scattered all over the Heavenspan World. Jian Zhentao was merely a very distant offspring of Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets.
But even so, no one dared to underestimate Jian Zhentao too.
Because no one dared to underestimate the Jian Family.
Jian Zhentao was incomparably shocked in his heart and unconsciously revolved divine essence, applying it on his two eyes, and looked over toward Ye Yuan.
“ARGH!!”
Jian Zhentao suddenly screamed miserably, covering his eyes with both eyes.
Li Xing could not help turning pale with fright when he saw the situation and hurriedly said, “Elder Jian, what’s wrong with you?”
Jian Zhentao put down both hands tremblingly, the surrounding people all got a big shock.
It was only to see his two eyes tightly shut with two rows of bloody tears flowing down the corners of his eyes, looking incomparably grim.
Ye Yuan also did not expect that this kind of situation would appear and said worriedly, “Elder Jian, are you alright?”
Jian Zhentao slowly shook his head and said, “This old self is inept and incurred Little Friend Ye Yuan’s ridicule.”
Chapter 1658. Spirit Circle Projection |
Titanic waves surged in Jian Zhentao’s heart!
His Profound Spirit Chaos Formula was already cultivated to peak fourth level. His art of viewing aura was also grand completion rank four. However, he actually suffered such a terrifying backlash with one glance.
The grandeur of this boy’s destiny was simply appalling!
“Elder Jian, you used … the art of observing aura on Ye Yuan just now?” Li Xing seemed to have understood something and could not resist asking.
Jian Zhentao knew that he could not hide it. So he said with a bitter smile, “Hearing what you said just now, this old self was somewhat curious. So I utilized the art of observing aura. I didn’t expect that … this old man was inept and actually suffered a backlash!”
Li Xing said in shock, “Elder Jian must be joking! Within the boundaries of these three imperial cities, who doesn’t know that Elder Jian’s art of observing aura is extremely accurate. How can you be inept?”
