Chapter 404: A Sensational Treasure

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Xing Sui had just finished her introduction of the Ultimate Cloud Auger when the bid indicated on the giant bidding panel reached 300,000 Liberal Points.

Di Jiu had to obtain the Ultimate Cloud Auger. Hence, he placed a bid of 500,000 Liberal Points without hesitation, increasing the bid by 200,000.

The price of supreme-grade immortal weapons was between 1,000,000 to 5,000,000 immortal crystals. Among all the supreme-grade immortal weapons, flying immortal weapons were naturally of the highest value. Any flying immortal weapons that were considered supreme-grade would usually cost around 3,000,000 immortal crystals.

A 500,000-bid was considered an extremely high price for a supreme-grade immortal weapon. Furthermore, the increase in bid was too much, causing the price stated on the bidding panel to become stagnant.

Upon seeing the bid remain unchanged, Xing Sui announced loudly, “500,000 Liberal Points, calling once...”

The last three calls for the bid seemed to be a psychological hint meant to make some people who coveted this treasure feel anxious. After all, this supreme-grade flying Dharma treasure would slip through their fingers if they chose not to continue bidding for it.

However, this was a top-notch auction, so when it came to extremely valuable items, the hosting cultivator would make some comments to incite excitement. The value of this supreme-grade flying immortal weapon could be considered very high, yet it was evidently not the most valuable item up for auction this time.

“510,000 Liberal Points...”

Before Xing Sui could call for a bid a second time, the price on the bidding panel changed once again.

Di Jiu had increased the bid to 600,000 Liberal Points without hesitation, for he did not lack Liberal Points. He was more concerned about obtaining this Dharma treasure as soon as possible and refining it.

As expected, after increasing the bid by 100,000, the cultivator who wanted to obtain this flying Dharma treasure was aware that the bidder was indicating his imperative intent- any increase in bid would be well-matched. Moreover, this supreme-grade flying Dharma treasure was not worth 600,000 Liberal Points.

Thus, Di Jiu purchased his first item, the supreme-grade flying immortal weapon called Ultimate Cloud Auger.

The process was simple: Di Jiu only needed to pay 600,000 Liberal Points by swiping his identification card on the Dharma Array available.

His identification card turned silver after the 600,000 Liberal Points were paid. This signified that he had used more than one million Liberal Points in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City.

The Teleportation Array located in front of the table emitted a white flare before a flying auger the size of a palm appeared in front of Di Jiu.

This was the Ultimate Cloud Auger, which was what Di Jiu had just purchased. Di Jiu took the Ultimate Cloud Auger into his hand, noticing that it was covered with numerous restrictions and engraved with several Dharma Arrays.

He lamented silently, as this was a treasure refined by a Weapon Emperor. It would not be an easy feat for Di Jiu to become a Weapon Emperor, even if he possessed the Ninth Dao Law.

Furthermore, the blacksmithing materials required in the production of the Ultimate Cloud Auger were not ordinary.

The next item up for auction was an Intent Supremacy Elixir. The auction venue was filled with tension due to the competition for the elixir. After all, this was a grade-eight immortal pill that could increase the chances of a perfected Immortal King breaking through to the Immortal Supremacy Realm. Such intense competition was to be expected.

Di Jiu started to refine the Ultimate Cloud Auger, as he was not interested in the elixir.

He knew that the Ultimate Cloud Auger could not be considered a top-tier supreme-grade flying immortal weapon the moment his Spiritual Force entered the weapon. It could only be considered an average weapon, which meant that this item was not worth 6,000,000 high-grade immortal crystals.

Nonetheless, the Void Locale Pattern engraved on the Ultimate Cloud Auger was valuable.

Di Jiu was a level-eight Immortal Array Supremacy and possessed a level-six Immortal Force. Therefore, he managed to refine the Ultimate Cloud Auger at an exceedingly fast speed, completing half of the refining process in just half a day.

Following the Intent Supremacy Elixir was a supreme-grade attack Dharma treasure, top-notch blacksmithing materials, and even some cultivation techniques. All the items that made an appearance were sold for a significantly higher price than the market rate.

Di Jiu had zero intention of obtaining these items, which was why he could not even be bothered to listen to the bidding process.

Just as he was about to completely refine the Ultimate Cloud Auger, Xing Sui lifted a jade box and announced with barely concealed excitement, “This was originally the finale item, but we are auctioning it on the first day of the auction as a way to express our gratitude for all the distinguished guests who came to participate in this auction...”

Di Jiu stopped refining the moment he heard this. He too wanted to see what the finale item was.

Xing Sui went on to say, “The item in this jade box is known as the Time Crystal...”

The silent auction hall instantly because noisy once the words ‘Time Crystal’ were spoken. This excitatory atmosphere spread throughout the entire hall.

Di Jiu looked at the jade box in disbelief as well.

Time Crystal? This was a treasure that contained time laws. What kind of auction was this if even a top-notch priceless treasure could appear?

Should he go for it or not?

This Time Crystal was something he truly coveted, although he knew very well that this was an item prepared with the various Immortal Emperors in mind. Ordinary people were not qualified to join this auction, even if they possessed sufficient Liberal Points. Although they could bid on it, they would offend experts regardless of whether they purchased it in the end or not.

If he intended to go for it, he would need to compete with the Immortal Emperors.

Di Jiu sighed silently, regretting that this Time Crystal had appeared so soon. It would have been ideal if it had appeared after the Agama True Glazed Water.

Earlier, he had appreciated the fact that this auction house allowed one to directly teleport for the exchange of goods after the item was successfully purchased. The buyer’s room number would not be announced either. The benefits of such a method were evident, as this prevented others from knowing your identity, no matter how valuable the item purchased was.

Truth be told, Di Jiu had set up the escape techniques as a precautionary measure, for he did not intend to really utilize these Escape Teleportation Arrays.

However, should he join the competition for the Time Crystal, he would surely have to utilize the Escape Teleportation Array.

Given the Time Crystal’s value, the Immortal Emperors would certainly participate in the bidding to the best of their abilities. His room number would definitely be swiftly made known to the various experts, even if the auction house did conceal his room number, should the item be obtained by him. What awaited him following the ending of the auction would be relentless assassinations.

Di Jiu was really unwilling to give up on the Time Crystal, for it contained time laws. If he obtained the Time Crystal, thanks to the Ninth Dao Law, there was a huge possibility that he would be able to touch the entry barrier of time laws. In other words, the Time Crystal would be used to its fullest potential in his hands, as he could touch upon time laws through the aid of the Time Crystal.

There were numerous laws in the world. However, without a doubt, the most powerful supernormal ability belonged to time laws.

With this thought in mind, Di Jiu made the decision to obtain the Time Crystal. So what if Immortal Emperors got involved? How could he become stronger if he did not join the competition?

Xing Sui seemed to know that the appearance of the Time Crystal would cause an uproar. Thus, she quietly waited until the volume of the hall lowered a little before slamming the mallet in her hand down and shouting, “To my knowledge, there is no one in the Four Major Immortal Continents who can touch upon time laws, much less anyone who has mastered time law supernormal abilities. It is an extremely serious matter for the Four Major Immortal Continents that this Time Crystal has appeared at this auction.”

“Perhaps, some people will think that purchasing the Time Crystal does not mean that one can touch upon time laws. However, I can inform you with certainty that not competing for the Time Crystal will mean that you will definitely not be able to touch upon time laws. The Time Crystal symbolizes a glimmer of hope. I believe that, considering what time laws symbolize, any amount of Liberal Points used to purchase the Time Crystal would be worth it.”

Ever since the start of the auction, nearly a day had passed. However, Xing Sui had yet to give such an in-depth explanation for an item. This Time Crystal was the very first item that she had intentionally spent a long time promoting.

The auction hall was extremely silent, yet Di Jiu could still sense an undercurrent in the air that had existed before the bidding had started. Evidently, many cultivators were prepared to compete for the Time Crystal to the best of their abilities.

Xing Sui, who was extremely satisfied with the situation, continued to promote the item in a dramatic tone. “The Time Crystal was originally something that could not be purchased using Liberal Points. Now that it has appeared, why don’t you seize this opportunity? The starting bid for this Time Crystal is...”

Here, Xing Sui purposely paused for a moment, causing many cultivators to swear.

Sensing that her tactic was successful, Xing Sui continued speaking. “10,000,000 Liberal Points. Each increase in bid cannot be lower than 1,000,000 Liberal Points. Let the bidding begin now.”

There was a collective gasp in the hall when everyone heard that the starting bid was 10,000,000. This number was really frightening. Some cultivators who had originally intended to participate in the bidding felt dejected upon hearing it.

10,000,000 Liberal Points was a price many cultivators were unable to afford.

Di Jiu felt that it was expensive as well. He would only have had to give up on this Time Crystal if he had not opened the one and only Starry Sky Tea business previously.

“11,000,000 Liberal Points!” shouted a hoarse voice. Then, this bid appeared on the bidding panel.

This was the very first time someone shouted out their bid before it showed up on the bidding panel.

The auction did not ban such behavior from happening, as shouting out the bid was allowed. One was free to use whatever method one wished to place a bid, so long as no threats were made.

“So strong...” Di Jiu knew that this must definitely have been an Immortal Emperor expert the moment he heard the Essence Energy fluctuation of this voice.

He did not recognize this person, but he was sure that many other people did. The purpose of such an act was simply to let other people know the identity of the bidder.
