Chapter 112: The Auction Begins
Duan De's Divine Sense swept the Storage Ring, only to find a mere ten million Low-Grade Spirit Stones inside.
Approximately one day later, Duan De had sold all the tokens in his possession to the powerhouses of various factions, keeping only one for himself.
His initial cost of one trillion had now turned into four trillion, a truly massive profit.
This level of wealth was incomparable to any Family in the Wind and Thunder Prefecture.
Meanwhile, in the Tiangang Sect's main hall, Ye Chen and Zhao Ling vividly reported what they had just witnessed to Zhao Batian, the Sect Master of the Tiangang Sect.
Zhao Ling was Zhao Batian's daughter and also the Saintess of the Tiangang Sect, while Ye Chen was the Saint of the Tiangang Sect.
Upon hearing Zhao Ling's report, Zhao Batian's expression turned serious, revealing his disbelief.
"How could life divine water and Enlightenment Tea Leaves appear in Shuo Province? These two items are incredibly precious; how could anyone bear to put them up for auction?"
"However, if these items are real, then my Tiangang Sect must acquire them, as they concern the very survival of my Tiangang Sect."
At this, Ye Chen handed the token and the picture scroll to Zhao Batian.
Zhao Batian examined them and, indeed, as Zhao Ling had said, if these last two auction items were real, the entire Northern Region would experience a massive upheaval.
The hidden dark guard behind Zhao Batian frowned at this moment because he found that the book seemed to be shrouded in a mist; the more he tried to see, the less he could discern.
"Sect Master, this book is strange," the dark guard, hidden in the Void Realm, transmitted.
Zhao Batian frowned and then transmitted, "What's strange about it?"
"Sect Master, with my cultivation, I still can't see what's actually drawn inside."
Zhao Batian frowned and then placed the picture scroll on the table.
Indeed, the moment he placed the picture scroll on the table, Zhao Batian couldn't see its contents, but when he picked it up again, he could see them, which was incredibly mysterious.
"Oh my, this is truly a Divine Artifact! Even with my Saint King Realm cultivation, I can't see through it. Which auction house has such a grand scale?"
At this moment, Zhao Batian became even more anticipatory of this auction.
If the life divine water truly could restore any injury except for Dao injuries, as described, then his Tiangang Sect must acquire it.
This was because the Old Ancestor of the Tiangang Sect, Li Dengfeng, was nearing the end of his Lifespan and could only reduce the loss of vitality by Seal himself.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, Li Dengfeng, the Old Ancestor of the Tiangang Sect, had always been in a state of deep sleep unless the Tiangang Sect faced a life-or-death crisis.
Although the Tiangang Sect was currently the top force on the surface in Shuo Province, secretly, many Sects wanted to replace it, and the root cause was Li Dengfeng.
As long as Li Dengfeng was still alive, the Tiangang Sect would remain the top force in Shuo Province, like an impregnable fortress that no one could shake.
However, if Li Dengfeng were to fall, the Tiangang Sect would become like a fragile porcelain doll, easily torn to pieces by other forces.
And with this Life Divine Spring, the Tiangang Sect could at least prosper for another eight hundred years, and Li Dengfeng even had the possibility of further advancement, becoming a legendary Quasi-Emperor Realm expert. In that case, the Tiangang Sect would firmly hold its position as the top power for thousands of years.
"Such a miraculous treasure must be obtained!" Zhao Batian said with firm eyes, his gaze like burning flames, full of determination.
He turned to Ye Chen and Zhao Ling, instructing, "You two will accompany me to the auction. We must ensure that the life divine water and Enlightenment Tea Leaves are brought back to the Sect."
Then Zhao Ling said,
"Father, this token has a teleportation function. We don't know how many people it can transport, so we purchased two tokens."
Zhao Batian showed a contemplative expression, then nodded, and disappeared from the main hall.
Qin Feng had a full view of everything happening in the entire Shuo Province. He hadn't expected Duan De to cause such a stir with the tokens, making it known throughout the city.
But this didn't matter to Qin Feng. Even if all the forces of the Northern Region arrived at the Wind and Thunder Prefecture, they could only obediently participate in the auction. If they wanted to cause trouble, sorry, they could die.
However, Qin Feng absolutely would not allow an outsider to earn so much from the Qin Family's auction tokens. If one wanted to make money through the Qin Family's auction tokens, they had to pay taxes.
"Since you've profited through my Qin Family's tokens, I'll collect ninety percent of it as tax," Qin Feng said faintly.
At this moment, as Duan De was smugly reveling in earning three trillion Spirit Stones, the golden token in his Storage Ring suddenly emitted a dazzling light.
The token's anomaly startled the self-satisfied Duan De. Before he could react, the token suddenly emitted a powerful suction force, and all the surrounding Low-Grade Spirit Stones turned into dust, converting into Spiritual Qi that was absorbed by the token.
This operation completely stunned Duan De, who then secretly rejoiced,
"Could this be some kind of fortuitous encounter for me? It actually absorbed 2.7 trillion of my Spirit Stones."
However, after the token completely absorbed the Spiritual Qi, the original golden token turned crimson and then became unresponsive.
When Duan De took out the token, he found that after absorbing the Spiritual Qi, the token showed no further changes, and his old face turned even darker.
"Damn it, give me back my Spirit Stones! Give me back my Spirit Stones!" he yelled, shaking the crimson token violently.
Unfortunately, the token remained unresponsive.
At this point, Duan De looked at his Storage Ring again. His Spirit Stones had gone from four trillion to 1.3 trillion. He felt like dying.
He had painstakingly earned three trillion Spirit Stones, but this token had the nerve to directly absorb 2.7 trillion, leaving him with only three hundred billion. He wished he could just throw the token away.
However, when he thought that the token had directly absorbed 2.7 trillion Spirit Stones without any reaction, he felt relieved and thought,
"Maybe this token has other uses. Didn't I still earn three hundred billion? At least I can report to the Family Head."
Meanwhile, the token in Qin Feng's hand suddenly spat out two Top-Grade Spirit Stones and seven thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones.
As for the token in Qin Feng's hand and the tokens he distributed, they were actually a set called the Alphabet Token. The one in Qin Feng's hand was the core of all other tokens, allowing him to control them.
Moreover, this mother token was a reward from the System, a nine-revolution emperor tier item called the emperor decree, which could continuously condense sub-tokens. Furthermore, the sub-tokens themselves were defensive Magic Treasures, it just depended on whether they could discover it.
As for the picture scroll, it was also bestowed by the System, named the emperor book, and was also a nine-revolution emperor tier item.
Suddenly, the token in Duan De's hand emitted golden light, and then, to everyone's astonishment, it vanished from its spot.
The same happened in other locations.
However, before Zhao Batian's token teleported, a message appeared in the sky:
Can carry a maximum of one person.
Then Zhao Batian, Zhao Ling, Ye Chen, and the Grand Elder of the Tiangang Sect directly disappeared from their original positions.
At this moment, the auction began.
