Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation

Chapter 957 - 950: Bidding for the Dao Pearl

Ding Huan returned to Tao City, and he intentionally scanned the previous Rest Building with his Divine Will. He discovered that Qi Xinyue had already left, and only Zhuo Xing was still in the Rest Building, closed off for cultivation.

This relieved Ding Huan.

Although Qi Xinyue and her master hold high positions in the Longevity Palace, once the Eternal God Saint emerges, even the disciple of Eternal God Saint, Saint Tongyun, emerges, Qi Xinyue and her master will not have it easy.

Saint Tongyun may not kill them, but if the Eternal God Saint sees disciples of the Eternal Saint showing talent, he will surely kill them to eliminate future threats.

Now Ding Huan assumes the disappearance of the Eternal Saint was caused by the Eternal God Saint.

Qi Sha may hold no significant position within the Trading Building of the gods, but he is still very influential in Tao City.

Everyone who sees Qi Sha on the way greets him carefully, lest they accidentally offend this Killing God.

As the actor of Qi Sha, Ding Huan also fully exhibits Qi Sha's arrogance and murderous aura, striding conspicuously into the auction venue.

"Qi Shenghu, this auction is organized by our Trading Building of the gods. This time there aren't many valuable things worth your attention..."

The guard outside the auction venue cautiously says, not daring to offend Qi Sha.

The underlying meaning is: as someone from our Trading Building of the gods, there's no need for you to join the hustle.

The top ten items, you cannot buy.

There is nothing worthy of your purchase afterwards.

Ding Huan did not take out the ticket he had previously purchased, but raised Qi Sha's Identity Plate: "I want to go inside and buy a few small things, take me to a box."

Ding Huan later realized using the ticket he had purchased to enter was somewhat inappropriate.

It wasn't that he bought a ticket after shape-shifting to Tao City, but participating in the auction as Qi Sha.

It's because after buying the ticket, he assisted Qi Xinyue.

No problem if nothing happened, but if trouble arose, Qi Xinyue would surely be affected.

He came for the Dao Pearl, and couldn't avoid causing trouble?

Thus, when Ding Huan mentioned a box, it was just a casual remark, after all, he's the primary Killing God of the Trading Building.

As soon as the guard says there's no box, he will immediately purchase one himself.

What Ding Huan did not expect was the servant cautiously said: "Your box, Qi Shenghu, hasn't been requisitioned and is still available, but there's truthfully nothing good worth your attention this time."

Ding Huan was truly surprised; he had no cave mansion in Tao City, yet he had a box at the auction?

"It's none of your concerns." Ding Huan waved his hand, completely ignoring the guard's reluctant to obstruct him actions, directly entering the auction venue.

The guard stopped him, fearing he would buy one of the top ten items, which could cause the Trading Building of the gods to offend people.

The Trading Building of the gods is in business, they value harmony for wealth.

As long as it doesn't infringe upon the interests of the Trading Building of the gods, everything is negotiable.

If the people of the Trading Building of the gods proactively infringe upon other's interests, causing a stir would be detrimental to them.

Qi Sha's behavior demonstrates an egoistic personality; who can guarantee he won't do something unexpected?

Upon entering the venue, Ding Huan's Divine Will swept out uninhibitedly, and he immediately spotted Qi Sha's box, number seventeen.

The Protecting Array Qi Sha set outside the box, the Dao Rhythm fluctuation appeared as conspicuous as a bright white light to Ding Huan.

"Dao Friend Qi..."

"Qi Shenghu..."

"Senior..."

As Ding Huan headed to his box, greetings filled the air all around him, and he was too lazy to nod.

After entering his box, Ding Huan pondered how Qi Sha's character setting is truly advantageous.

Less troublesome matters, more benefits.

No wonder Qi Sha chose to prove the Dao through killing, knowing how many advantages it holds.

The Trading Building of the gods didn't pay much attention to Qi Sha's sudden appearance at the auction venue today.

He occasionally acts out, doing things people can't comprehend.

Normally, this kind of small auction would have nothing to do with Qi Sha. A person like Qi Sha would typically not attend such auctions.

Qi Sha would know the unstated rules of the Trading Building of the gods' auction.

Auction events Qi Sha attends occur once every century or millennium, featuring top treasures without unstated rules.

But since Qi Sha has arrived, it's also his right.

Qi Sha's auction box wasn't located far back, even quite near the front.

This shows that the Trading Building of the gods still offered Qi Sha considerable respect publicly.

After all, Qi Sha is the public Killing God of the Trading Building of the gods, if they treated him ambivalently externally, others wouldn't fear him as much.

Activating the box's Restriction, Ding Huan considered, once he obtained the Dao Pearl, he would immediately leave Tao City.

He'll seek a place to witness Tao Wuque Saint's Dao first.

As for the other treasures at the auction, he wouldn't pursue them, and didn't think highly of them either.

Ding Huan didn't wait long before the auction commenced.

Hosting the auction was a female cultivator with the strength of a Saint of Words. By looking at her attire, Ding Huan knew she was his colleague at the Trading Building of the gods.

The auction venue could accommodate many people, but not many attended this auction, with not even half the seats filled.

The female cultivator was very straightforward, waving her hand, a slightly weathered triangular mirror appeared in the void.

"This is the Heavenly Creation Treasure, Step Universe Mirror, with a base price of one top Dao Vein, each increase must not be less than one low Dao Vein..."

Although above the Heavenly Creation Treasure there are later Chaos Treasure and Chaos Treasure.

But how many people can possess a Chaos Treasure?

Even Ding Huan, the best treasure he has now is the Cosmic Pot. The Cosmic Pot is somewhat struggling to break into the ranks of post-Chaos Treasure.

To be precise, the Cosmic Pot is considered a top Heavenly Creation Treasure.

As for the Heaven and Earth Bow and the Three Heaven and Earth Arrows, combined they can be considered a Heavenly Creation Treasure, but taken separately, they can only be considered Innate Treasures.

He does have a Chaos Treasure, which is the Eternal God Wheel.

Unfortunately, the Eternal God Wheel was disassembled by him.

Although the Dao Vein is very rare, the Heavenly Creation Treasure is evidently more appealing.

In the blink of an eye, the price of the Step Universe Mirror has surged up to ten high-grade Dao Veins and is still rising.

At least Ding Huan can't afford it.

Although he has a lot of Dao Veins on him, most were obtained in the Great Universe.

Dao Veins from the Great Universe need to continue to grow here, otherwise, they are not worth much.

As for the Dao Veins obtained on Blue Star Island, they add up to only a dozen or so.

Soon, Ding Huan noticed that despite the price of the Step Universe Mirror continuously soaring, only a fixed few are bidding for it.

Although the price alternates quickly, it's the cultivators in the private rooms bidding.

Occasionally, some cultivators in the hall bid, but their prices are quickly overtaken by higher offers.

The cultivators sitting in the hall are not wealthy enough; those who attempt to bid are completely out of energy after a few attempts.

Finally, this Heavenly Creation Treasure was taken by a private room numbered eleven for fifteen high-grade Dao Veins plus twelve mid-grade Dao Veins.

Ding Huan sighed deeply about how genuinely wealthy they were.

The second item, Chaos Rule Liquid, and the third item, Chaos Gap, although there were bids, were similarly contested by a fixed group of people.

As for the cultivators in the auction hall, Ding Huan estimated most were there to watch the excitement, preparing to purchase later items.

It shows many people knew the top ten were not theirs.

This made Ding Huan somewhat suspicious, was the Dao Pearl really just bait?

If everyone knows this item shouldn't be bought, what are they baiting for?

"Next, we will auction a Dao Pearl, Fellow Daoists. Although this Dao Pearl may not be much on its own, once combined with the Great Dao Plate and Dao Pillar, it becomes the top Chaos Treasure, the Great Dao Plate…"

While speaking, the female cultivator hosting the auction gestured again, and an ordinary pearl appeared in the void.

Scanning with Divine Will, the pearl was empty inside, and its whole body appeared gray and dull.

Despite being enclosed by restrictions, Divine Will landed outside and could still feel the profound and vast Taoist Aura.

Ding Huan was thrilled.

He knew this was a real Dao Pearl, the second he had ever seen.

The female cultivator hosting the auction bragged wildly about the Dao Pearl, simply saying that combining the Dao Pearl, Great Dao Plate, and Dao Pillar becomes the Chaos Treasure Great Dao Plate.

She didn't mention at all that there are eighteen Dao Pillars and one hundred and eight Dao Pearls.

"The starting price for the Dao Pearl is one mid-grade Dao Vein, with each increment no less than one low-grade Dao Vein. The bidding starts now…"

Honestly, even if it's just a single Dao Pearl, starting with one mid-grade Dao Vein is very low.

There's no need for the female cultivator to boast; those who come here know well enough that a Dao Pearl is a good thing.

Even without the Great Dao Plate and Dao Pillar, merely a Dao Pearl's value wouldn't be lower than the Heavenly Creation Treasure Step Universe Mirror.

Knowing is one thing, but daring to bid is another.

"One mid-grade Dao Vein for the second time…"

Seeing no takers, the female cultivator hosting the auction called again.

Ding Huan unhesitatingly bid two mid-grade Dao Veins.

As soon as Ding Huan bid, over a hundred Divine Wills swept over.

After seeing clearly Ding Huan's private room, over ninety percent of the Divine Wills withdrew, while a few remained lingering outside Ding Huan's room.

Not having reached the sixth step, the strongest cultivation belonged to Wuque Saint.

Simulating Qi Sha's Divine Will aura, Ding Huan stirred his Divine Will aura violently outward.

"Puff!" A Saint of Words sitting in a private room spat a Blood Arrow, his whole demeanor significantly weakened.

"Qi Sha really sees himself as the Killing God, daring to sneak attack me with Divine Thought Stab…" The Saint of Words wiped the blood from his mouth, a sinister killing intent in his eyes.

The other Wuque Saints probing Ding Huan's room were similarly repelled by Ding Huan's Divine Will.

"One high-grade Dao Vein."

To Ding Huan's surprise, someone raised the bid, and by a whole high-grade Dao Vein.

Theoretically speaking, ten complete mid-grade Dao Veins can exchange for one high-grade Dao Vein.

In reality, everyone knows it's just a theoretical price; no one would want to trade mid-grade Dao Veins for high-grade ones.

"Two high-grade Dao Veins." Ding Huan continued to bid.

He noticed the private room that raised the bid was number nineteen, while his was seventeen, located even further back, possibly the owner of the bait.

He must get the Dao Pearl.

He came using the name of Qi Sha, if the other party thinks he's making random offers without pursuing, how will he counter-bait next?

Once the Dao Pearl is in his hand, the other side definitely won't let him go.

(Goodnight, Fellow Daoist!)
