“310,000,000!” A few rooms away, the proud voice of Xie Donglai rang out.
Chapter 1268 - The Most Idiotic Threa
Chapter 1268 The Most Idiotic Threa
It had just reached 300,000,000, and he directly added another 10,000,000. This was to suppress others with his aura, and thus successfully obtain the treasure.
Xie Donglai’s face was filled with arrogance. Were these peasants even qualified to compete with him?
He was the prince of the Xie Clan, enjoying a considerable status. Furthermore, he had even led out his own troops in battle some days ago, and ransacked a few bandit lairs, obtaining an astonishing wealth from his efforts. After he had sold off some God Tools and materials, the number of True Origin Stones he had in his possession was close to 400,000,000!
It seemed like even the heavens were helping him. Initially, his reason for coming to the Two Realm Battlefield was to bring back that b**** that had fled the marriage. He had not thought that he would actually find a palm-sized Realm Spirit Stone.
With his natural talent, if he refined this Realm Spirit Stone, he would have 30% chance of advancing into the pinnacle level of the Sun Moon Tier, and had a 99% chance of breaking through into the Heavenly Body Tier.
That was right. The pinnacle level was even harder to cultivate than a major tier. A 30% chance was already quite good.
He had thought thus: if he could attempt to reach the pinnacle level, he naturally would make the attempt, but if he was unable to succeed even with such a large Realm Spirit Stone, he would put an end to those thoughts, and aim directly for breakthrough to the Heavenly Body Tier.
After all, even on the Cloud Apex Planet, there was an extremely limited number of elites of the Heavenly Body Tier. After he broke through to this cultivation level, he would really be qualified to be called as an elite, and would be respected wherever he went.
Of course, all this was based on the prerequisite that he could obtain the Realm Spirit Stone.
But he was confident. Was close to 400,000,000 True Origin Stones not enough?
“330,000,000!” A female voice rang out. It was not loud, but was very clearly transmitted into everyone’s ears.
Everyone was shocked. Who was this? She was really too wealthy, wasn’t she? She directly added another 20,000,000to the bid. She was really much more generous than Xie Donglai.
Yet both Ling Han and Jin Xuan shook.
This was the voice of the woman who had slapped Jin Xuan.
In the previous bidding, she had never made a move, and it was only now that she spoke for the first time. She was obviously here for the Realm Spirit Stone. Furthermore, what was stranger was that though this voice was very clear, it was completely impossible to trace it back to its source. They had no way of distinguishing which room this voice had originated from.Read more chapters at Listnovel.com
Xie Donglai humphed coldly, and continued bidding. “335,000,000!”
Internally, he was displeased. He thought that he had suddenly increased the bid just now, which should have completely intimidated everyone else. Why had there appeared another person that was even more generous than he? She directly added another 20,000,000… That was 20,000,000, and not 200 True Origin Stones she had added.
“350,000,000,” the woman stated calmly, sounding absolutely nonchalant.
“355,000,000!” Xie Donglai uttered through gritted teeth. A feeling of foreboding vaguely rose up inside his heart. Could it be that he would be losing? Damn it, if he did not have this Realm Spirit Stone, then his hopes of breaking through to the pinnacle level were practically zero, and his advancement to becoming an elite of the Heavenly Body Tier would also have to be delayed by several or even ten thousand years.
No, he had to get hold of it!
“370,000,000.” The woman was still as undisturbed as previously.
“390,000,000!” Xie Donglai called out loudly, and was extremely generous for once. However, this was all his wealth, and if the other party increased the bid further, he could only raise his hands in surrender.
However, he was determined to obtain it. Hence, he added, “Milady, I am the grandson of the Great General Xie, so please give way to me just this once for the sake of the Great General Xie. I will definitely repay you for it!”
This was an outright threat. If you dared compete with me further, that would be making an enemy out of the Great General Xie!
“What a joke. I do not take even Xie Qian seriously, so who do you think you are?” A cold humph was heard, and a delicate hand as fair as jade appeared, striking out at Xie Donglai.
“Not good!” When two old servants saw this, their expressions drastically changed. They both jumped out, wanting to disperse this blow for Xie Donglai, but they had not even come close enough when a terrifying aura rolled over them. Peng, peng, both of them were sent flying.
Xie Donglai paled in shock, yet he did not even have the chance to put up a defense. Pa, his face had already suffered a heavy blow. His whole body was suddenly sent flying out, and crashed down from the third floor with a bang, falling right into the auction hall downstairs.
“Who is it that dares to make trouble in our Gold Origin Auction House?” Jin Ming roared out angrily, and then charged towards the third floor. Peng, peng, peng. A series of bangs rand out, but after a while, silence resumed, which was followed by Jin Ming saying in a respectful tone, “Yes, yes, it’s fine. Hehe, as long as Milady has fun!”
This was heard from the fourth floor. He retreated out of the room, his waist bent, copious amounts of cold sweat dripping down from his face.
Fourth floor!
Heaven Room, which meant an elite of the Eternal River Tier!
No wonder, no wonder. This mysterious woman dared boast that “I do not take even Xie Qian seriously” because she, too, was a being of that level.
However, Xie Donglai felt incredibly wronged. ‘Since you are an elite of Eternal River Tier, why didn’t you boldly reveal your identity? If I had known that your voice had come from the fourth floor, I would not have dared to stand against you even if it killed me.’
Yet did he dare to bring her to account for it?
He had really suffered this loss for nothing. Furthermore, he had to turn around and beg the other party for forgiveness. Why? That was because he actually dared to threaten an elite of the Eternal River Tier.
“The auction continues,” Jin Ming announced, not sparing another look at Xie Donglai.
The auction did continue, but after the matter just now, everyone was still stunned, so how could there be anyone who would place another bid? Furthermore, this price was already overwhelmingly high, so there were not that many people that could afford to increase the bid.
The mysterious woman increased the bid to 400,000,000, and no one else competed with her. Hence, she successfully bought the climax treasure.
The auction ended, and the successful buyers went backstage to make payment and complete the transaction.
Though Ling Han had not bought anything, he was the biggest seller this time round. Thus, he naturally had to go backstage as well to accept payment.
Because the number involved was too large, he had to wait until the mysterious woman completed the transaction to be able to have enough True Origin Stones to pay. Thus, he could only wait for now, and watch from the sidelines.
After a while, a fragrance spread out. After that, a woman dressed in a full suit of armor walked out. She looked to be in her early thirties, yet was still beautiful, having the bearing of a mature woman. That kind of enchantment and seduction was something that young girls could not possibly hope to imitate.
She was not only mature and voluptuous, she also had an intimidating heroic air to her, like a goddess of war. However, this suit of armor was really too well-fitted, completely outlining her shapely hips. That rounded angle was like a well-ripened peach, being extremely tempting.
And Xie Donglai followed behind her. Like a student who had made a mistake
, his head was bowed and his waist bent.
“The Purple Moon Divine Maiden!” When they saw this woman, not one person dared to cast another look at her voluptuous figure. All of them half-knelt, appearing to be extremely anxious.
Only now did realization dawn on Ling Han. No wonder this woman was so forceful. As it turned out, she was the famous Purple Moon Divine Maiden, the chief general of the Purple Moon Army!
What a joke that Xie Donglai actually dared compete with her, and even dared to threaten her. He was truly an idiot to the extreme.
When he saw Ling Han, Xie Donglai’s face involuntarily flushed dark crimson.
Previously, he had boasted that he would obtain the Realm Spirit Stone, yet now, he had lost completely and utterly. Furthermore, he had even offended the Purple Moon Divine Maiden because of this, so he definitely had to seek the latter’s forgiveness. Otherwise, if this matter was known to the Xie Clan, then he would really be done for.
The clan would definitely not prioritize a clansman that had offended an elite of Eternal River Tier.
And of all things, this had all been witnessed by Ling Han!
How humiliating.
Chapter 1269 - A Favor
Chapter 1269 A Favor
WIth the appearance of the Purple Moon Divine Maiden, the masses could only step back, and give way to this elite.
Xie Donglai stared fixedly at Ling Han, thinking that though he had not managed to obtain the Realm Spirit Stone, the latter hadn’t, either. Furthermore, he had lost to an elite of the Eternal River Tier, so this was an inevitable matter.
After the Purple Moon Divine Maiden had completed the handing over of the funds, Jin Ming personally walked towards Ling Han, handed over a Spatial Sack, and said, “Young Master Han, this is the payment for the auction, totalling up to 365,840,000 True Origin Stones.”
Pu!
Xie Donglai immediately spluttered. Hold on, Ling Han was not a buyer, but was rather a seller?
He earned over 300,000,000, so what did that mean?
That large-sized Realm Spirit Stone was sold by Ling Han. Otherwise, how could he have possibly obtained a profit of more than 300,000,000?
His expression changed drastically, and he felt as if he had received a heavy slap, feeling extremely horrid.
As it turned out, it had been him who had been the ugly person doing all kinds of foolish things to get attention from the very beginning.
He confidently declared that he would get hold of the Realm Spirit Stone to show off his wealth to Ling Han, but Ling Han was the seller of the Realm Spirit Stone! He endlessly raised the bid, but in truth, he was only paving the way for him. And for that reason, he had even offended an elite of the Eternal River Tier.
He was really an idiot!
Xie Donglai did not reflect on himself in the slightest, and only felt that Ling Han was really too despicable. From the very beginning, the latter knew everything, yet chose not to speak a single word, causing him to embarrass himself.
‘Damn! Damn! Damn!’
He was a descendant of the Great General Xie, and possessed the backing of Eternal River Tier. Even if Ling Han was a Level Eight alchemist, so what? Compared to himself, he did not even have the right to pick up his shoes for him!
Ling Han put away the Spatial Sack without counting the amount carefully.
“Young Master Han, won’t you count the sum?” Jin Ming asked smilingly.
“I trust you, sir.” Ling Han smiled as well.
Jin Ming nodded. Though the Gold Origin Auction House had always been known for its integrity, and there had never been any incidents of deceiving their customers, a sum of close to 400,000,000 True Origin Stones was still an astonishing amount. Even elites of the Heavenly Body Tier could possibly be moved by such an exorbitant sum, so it would not be strange if they made a move.
Yet Ling Han trusted him so completely, which caused him to involuntarily feel very pleased. He felt that this young man would have great prospects for the future.
“You are that alchemist?” the Purple Moon Divine Maiden suddenly spoke up, asking Ling Han.
“I am indeed an alchemist.” Ling Han nodded.
“It is said that you are already in Level Eight?” the Purple Moon Divine Maiden asked further.
“Yes.” Ling Han did not speak needless words. In front of this kind of elite, it was best not to play any tricks.
The Purple Moon Divine Maiden looked quite impressed, and said, “Your true age should be less than 50, right? Not only have you advanced into the peak stage of the low extreme in the Sun Moon Tier in cultivation level, you have also reached Level Eight in alchemy. With that kind of achievement, you could probably look down on the entire Immortal Realm.”
‘What?!’
Jin Ming and Xie Donglai both turned pale in astonishment. Their first reaction was that the Purple Moon Divine Maiden must have seen wrongly. How could there possibly be such a young genius of cultivation and Grandmaster of alchemy?
Less than 50 years old?
It was unimaginable, absolutely inconceivable!
Yet would an elite of Eternal River Tier make an error of judgement?
Yet Ling Han’s heart clenched. Elites were elites, after all. He was young, and this was something that was known to all. But when Sun Moon Tiers looked at him, they could only judge that he was less than 1000 years old, and Heavenly Body Tiers could only conclude that he was less than a century old.
Yet the Purple Moon Divine Maiden had further limited his age to below 50. Even if there was only a difference of 50 years, a cultivator in the low extreme of the Sun Moon Tier would have a lifespan as long as 1,000,000 years. Her perceptiveness was truly scary, to be able to make such a detailed judgement.
“Going by this trend, you may be able to advance to become a Level 15 alchemist within 1000 years. By that time, even I would have to ask you to concoct alchemical pills for me,” the Purple Moon Divine Maiden said.
A Level 15 alchemist?
Ling Han reckoned that the Purple Moon Divine Maiden should be in the high extreme of Eternal River Tier, and that was why she needed a Level 15 Divine Pill.
“Thank you for the praise, Milady. However, if I reach Level 15, I am willing to concoct alchemical pills for Milady without any conditions,” Ling Han said.
“Oh?” The Purple Moon Divine Maiden was astonished. Concocting alchemical pills without any conditions? This was not a small promise.
The higher the level of the alchemist, the higher the price one would have to pay to ask them to concoct alchemical pills, especially from Level Nine onwards. The time taken to concoct alchemical pills would be longer and longer, from a few months to a few years’ time.
Concocting a Level 15 Divine Pill would need around 10 years’ time. That was equivalent to wasting 10 years of his life. The lifespan of 10 years of a Level 15 alchemist, how valuable was that?
Thus, to ask a high-level alchemist to move required a very high price.
Yet Ling Han actually said that he would concoct alchemical pills for her without conditions; this was too generous.
Ling Han continued, “Do you feel curious, Milady? In truth, the reason is very simple. I have a lover who is currently in Milady’s Purple Moon Army. I would like to ask Milady to take care of her, which was why I was so generous.”
The Purple Moon Divine Maiden couldn’t help but laugh loudly. The fact that Ling Han had been so honest, and spoke of his own motives so boldly, had instead earned her favor. She thought that this man was honest, and more importantly, was willing to make sacrifices for his woman.
“Young man, walk with me!” she said.
“Yes, Milady!”
The two of them left. Xie Donglai wanted to follow as well, yet with a casual wave of the Purple Moon Divine Maiden’s hand, he had been thrown to who knew where.
“Young Master!” The two old servants hurriedly chased after that little black dot. Their mission was to protect Xie Donglai.
The Purple Moon Di
vine Maiden was very curious about Ling Han, and asked him about the matters between himself and the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Maiden. She also understood the grudge between him and Xie Donglai, and couldn’t help but say, “Then just let your little girlfriend stay temporarily in my army. Even if Xie Qian himself came, so what? Who would be afraid of him!”
She spoke these words with much forcefulness, her heroic spirit boundless.
“Thank you, Milady!” Ling Han said sincerely. Before they left the Cloud Apex Planet, it should be safest for the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Maiden to stay in the Purple Moon Divine Maiden’s army. After he had dealt with the Five Sects, they could return to the Great Ling Empire together, and by then, who would care who was Xie Qian?
“Hold on to this token. I give you special permission to enter into the Purple Moon Army once every month to meet your little girlfriend.” The Purple Moon Divine Maiden tossed a metal plaque at Ling Han.
Ling Han was overjoyed. Even though they could only meet once a month, the barracks of Purple Moon Army had never welcomed any male visitors, so he was really an exception.
WIth a wave of her hand, the Purple Moon Divine Maiden’s figure broke through the space, and disappeared in an instant.
Heavenly Body Tiers were capable of flight, and Eternal River Tiers’ speed was naturally even more amazing.
Ling Han kept the token away, and involuntarily smiled. If she saw him boldly stride into the barracks, just how astonished would the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Maiden be?
However, now that he had money, he naturally would be buying Godly metal without restraint. Additionally, he also had to accumulate comprehension in seclusion to break through to the medium extreme. He once again returned to the auction house, and asked the latter to purchase Godly metal above Level 5 on his behalf.
Ling Han himself was a Level Eight alchemist, and added with the fact that the Purple Moon Divine Maiden seemed to look on him quite highly, this naturally caused Jin Ming to have an even higher opinion of Ling Han. The latter agreed happily with a nod, and even had no plans to collect any payment from Ling Han.
