Chapter 327 - 322 Night-shocking Spear
Fan Jian left not long ago, and a man in red walked up to Ding Huan's room and paused for a moment.
He paused for a few breaths before a cold smile spilled from the corners of his mouth, then he took a few more steps and entered a room directly opposite Ding Huan's.
The business of the Void Flying City in Wanjie was with cultivators of the Void, and within the vast void, countless cultivators were here searching for opportunities.
When they found themselves in a predicament, or when they needed certain resources for seclusion, the Void Flying City was their best choice.
All cultivators who knew about Wanjie Commerce would get a Wanjie Commerce Guest Card.
The higher the level of such cards, the greater their value.
For instance, during the auction held in the Void Flying City, the high-level guest cards could be used for direct teleportation.
Some cultivators relied on the privilege of Wanjie Commerce's VIP cards to escape danger time and again.
Three days passed quickly, and when Fan Jian came to look for Jia Baihe, he sensed that something had changed about Fan Jian, as if he had grown more murderous, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
Jia Baihe followed behind Fan Jian into the auction, and wherever her Divine Will reached, Earth Immortal cultivators were everywhere.
It was evident that those who dared to attend the auction in such a flying city were skilled; otherwise, attending would be akin to courting death.
It was relatively safe inside the Flying City, given it was the territory of Wanjie Commerce.
Once outside the flying city, the safety was uncertain.
At such times, the importance of Wanjie Commerce's senior VIP card was more apparent, as it could instantly transport one back to Star Land.
"Brother Ga, my cultivation is very weak, you need to protect me," said Fan Jian as they entered the auction.
"As long as you are within the Flying City, you are definitely safe," Jia Baihe replied with some seriousness.
Had it not been for the Nine-colored Immortal Mortal Lotus, she would certainly not have attended this auction.
The auction held in the Void Flying City was huge and attracted cultivators from all over the Triple Heavens.
So, the place was crowded.
When Jia Baihe and Fan Jian entered the auction hall, at least tens of thousands of cultivators were already seated, and it wasn't even full yet.
Jia Baihe roughly estimated that there were at least fifty to sixty thousand cultivators who came.
"Brother Ga, I've heard that there's a Spiritual Treasure at this auction, though I'm not sure if it's true. If it is true, I'd like to buy it.
By the way, Brother Ga, if my Spirit Stones are not enough, you will lend me some, won't you? But I think the Spirit Stones I brought should be more than enough."
Fan Jian seemed oblivious to any danger, gossiping about the items in the auction the moment he sat down.
As he spoke, his voice was loud, drawing attention from those around them.
Unlike Ding Huan, Jia Baihe only felt that Fan Jian shouldn't casually discuss matters of Spirit Stones, though she didn't think too much about it.
The two sat for about half an hour when a pale, beardless man stepped onto the auction stage.
At the same time, they felt the Big Array outside the auction close, which meant that no one was allowed to leave the auction until it concluded.
"Wow, this guy must be a late-stage Earth Immortal; I feel a kind of pressure," Fan Jian spoke again, pointlessly.
Jia Baihe, having experienced the strength of Louxi River, vaguely felt that this man was probably at the Half-step Immortal Bridge.
"My name is Fu Yuanqi, and I will be hosting this auction held in the Void Spaceship on behalf of Wanjie Commerce. I welcome fellow cultivators from various Star Lands and sincerely hope that everyone will return with full satisfaction..."
The man smiled broadly, finished speaking, and made a cultivator's salute to everyone.
Having said that, Fu Yuanqi stretched out his hand, and a Jade Bottle landed in his palm: "Fellow cultivators, the first auction item is an Immortal Pill. The starting bid for this pill is fifty million top-grade Spirit Stones, and bids with Spirit Vein are also acceptable..."
Fan Jian patted Jia Baihe beside him: "You see, I wasn't lying to you. The first auction item is an Immortal Pill, and the following items will definitely become more precious."
Jia Baihe was also surprised; she had attended several auctions before but had never seen an auction starting with an Immortal Pill that could promote one to Earth Immortal.
Despite many Earth Immortal cultivators participating in the auction, there were plenty of Immortals as well.
In just a short few breaths, the price of the Immortal Pill had risen to one hundred million top-grade Spirit Stones.
In the end, it sold for one hundred and ten million top-grade Spirit Stones, plus a top-grade Spirit Vein.
Jia Baihe felt emotional inside; she had extinguished several Sects and families, killing thousands of cultivators, only to acquire her current wealth.
Otherwise, she would not even be qualified to participate in such an auction.
It was a pity she had left in a rush; otherwise, raiding Jiuyuan Star thoroughly would have made her immensely wealthy.
Fu Yuanqi introduced the second auction item, which turned out to be a minor world.
"There's a good item again, but our Spirit Stones can't be used now, we must wait until the Nine-colored Immortal Mortal Lotus comes out," Fan Jian seemed worried Jia Baihe might be tempted to buy the minor world and reminded her.
Jia Baihe was somewhat speechless inside, thinking when did I agree to buy the Nine-colored Immortal Mortal Lotus with you?
This small world was finally purchased for the price of ten top-grade Spirit Veins and one billion top-grade Spirit Stones.
Jia Baihe was left dumbfounded.
She had swept her Divine Will over the small world that Fu Yuanqi had just presented, and its grade was definitely not as high as the Big Mouth Pot that Ding Huan had given her.
The only flaw of the Big Mouth Pot was that it lacked a lid.
A small world that wasn't even as high-grade as the Big Mouth Pot had sold for such a terrifying price.
She too took a sharp intake of breath, fearing that Ding Huan himself did not know the value of the small world.
Thus, she couldn't just casually accept Ding Huan's small world. Once Ding Huan left his seclusion, she would have to return the small world to him.
However, she immediately thought that there was a hundred percent chance Ding Huan wouldn't take it back.
She was wealthy and suspected that Ding Huan was no worse off, perhaps even richer than she was.
Forget it, if she encountered something good at this auction, she would buy it and give it to Ding Huan.
Fu Yuanqi's voice came again, "Next up for auction is an Attack Treasure. I believe many of you know what this is."
With that, Fu Yuanqi spread his hand, and a long spear appeared in his palm.
The moment the spear appeared, a wild, murderous aura permeated the entire auction hall.
Jia Baihe nearly stood up, having never seen such a terrifying weapon of slaughter.
Currently, as the spear was yet to have an owner, its murderous aura seemed as if it wanted to shred every person in the venue.
If this spear were claimed and used by someone as their treasure, how terrifying would its power be?
She remembered the battle between Ding Huan and Louxi River.
If Ding Huan had had this spear at the time, would the outcome have been better?
The spear Ding Huan had then was not bad, but compared to Louxi River's treasure, it was far inferior.
In the end, Ding Huan's spear shattered into scrap metal, and Ding Huan himself was injured, greatly because his treasure had broken.
"The origin of this spear I need not introduce, I believe everyone is aware. Those who are interested may start bidding, the starting price is ten million top-grade Spirit Stones, no cap on increasing the bid..."
Upon hearing Fu Yuanqi's voice, the auction hall fell silent for the first time.
Jia Baihe resolved to definitely buy this spear for Ding Huan.
Thinking this, she immediately wrote down eleven million on the bidding screen in front of her.
"Are you mad?" Seeing Jia Baihe bidding for the spear, Fan Jiansi widened his eyes, unable to help himself.
Jia Baihe looked perplexedly at Fan Jiansi.
To tell the truth, when Fu Yuanqi said everyone knew about this spear, she truly didn't know.
After her vengeance, she had stayed in Jiuyuan and had never left Triple Heaven Star Land, how could she know the backstory of this spear?
Seeing that Jia Baihe honestly didn't know about the spear, Fan Jiansi couldn't help but say, "This is the Night-shocking Spear, rumored to belong to the Witch Clan.
The spear's murderous aura is too intense, and it also has a strong nefarious energy. Ordinary people can neither resolve nor wield it.
It is said that all the previous owners of the Night-shocking Spear were eventually killed by the spear's backlash. Do you still dare to purchase it?"
Jia Baihe was startled by how terrifying the spear was said to be.
She quickly thought that if even Ding Huan could not subdue the spear, then who in the universe was worthy to wield it?
In any case, she would buy the spear first, and if Ding Huan didn't like it, she would just toss it into her ring.
After all, she didn't use spears, so since she wouldn't be using it, it couldn't backlash against her, right?
"Twelve million top-grade Spirit Stones."
To everyone's surprise, there really were people bidding for the Night-shocking Spear, and there were two of them.
"Someone raised the bid, Brother Ga, please don't be foolish and raise it anymore, just withdraw," Fan Jiansi urgently advised Jia Baihe.
Jia Baihe seemed as if she hadn't heard Fan Jiansi's advice and continued to write down twenty million top-grade Spirit Stones on the bidding screen.
Seeing Jia Baihe ignoring him, Fan Jiansi could only sigh.
But Jia Baihe's twenty million top-grade Spirit Stones seemed to have enraged another bidder, and the price on the screen immediately jumped to fifty million.
The onlookers were shocked not just by two people bidding for the Night-shocking Spear, but now the bids were escalating, even fiercely.
If it were any other spear, it would have been understandable, but this was the Night-shocking Spear.
Without hesitation, Jia Baihe wrote down one hundred million top-grade Spirit Stones.
Spirit Stones and Mid-Grade Spirit Veins were plentiful for her, though not so many Top-Grade Spirit Veins.
She possessed as many as a hundred billion Spirit Stones, entirely contributed by two Great Sects and several big families.
