562: Ancient scripture fragments

Ye Xuan put away the jade box and cast his gaze back towards the auction platform.

"It saved the trouble of entanglement, and furthermore, the value this thing can create for us far exceeds four million High Grade Divine Source."

If people knew that the void soul crystal could be used to refine the nine revolutions soul returning pill, I fear that even for ten million High Grade Source Stones, there would be plenty of people flocking to it.

In the following auctions, Ye Xuan did not make any more moves, just watching quietly.

Piece after piece of treasure was auctioned off, and the atmosphere became increasingly heated.

Finally, the auction drew to a close.

Jin Wanqian's expression became exceptionally solemn: "Everyone, next is the final grand finale item of this auction, it is a page of incomplete scripture on chaos beast hide!"

A jade tray sealed with heavy Restrictions was brought onto the auction platform. On the jade tray lay a piece of beast hide the size of a palm, dark yellow in color with damaged edges. The writing on the beast hide was blurry, yet it naturally exuded an aura of vast antiquity, which was heart-stopping.

"The origin of this incomplete scripture page is mysterious. After verification by many appraisers in our pavilion, the Dao Rhyme on it is authentic and true, and the material is indeed the long-extinct Chaos beast hide! Everyone should also know that this Chaos beast hide, in the ancient era, was often used to record great Divine Abilities and secret techniques, and even some non-disclosed secrets."

"It is rumored that the star Cultivation Technique currently practiced by the current Ziwei Star Lord, Ye Xuan, was obtained from a Chaos beast hide, and this Chaos beast hide also contains text, although we do not know what it is now."

"However, if one can decipher the Cultivation Technique or secret art, it would be a priceless treasure. It is just a pity that our Myriad Treasures Pavilion cannot decipher it, so the starting bid is five million High Grade Divine Source!"

After Jin Wanqian's voice fell, the crowd was even more surprised; they all knew that these words were merely to increase the auction amount.

But those words still made people's hearts flutter.

The price soared instantly! The big shots in the private rooms made their moves one after another, and the intensity of the bidding far exceeded before.

Big Dipper Star Palace, Nether Blood Sea, Western Desert Buddhist Cultivators, and several other hidden forces competed until they were red in the face.

Ye Xuan had no interest in that incomplete scripture page, but he couldn't help but laugh at those who said his Cultivation Technique was opened from a Chaos beast hide.

These people, they really can say anything with a straight face, even using him to boost the price.

Ye Xuan shook his head. He noticed that the Big Dipper Star Palace in private room number three seemed to have even higher enthusiasm for this grand finale treasure than the previous void soul crystal, bidding frequently, determined to win it.

In the end, this page of incomplete scripture on chaos beast hide was auctioned off by the Big Dipper Star Palace at the sky-high price of eighteen million.

Although the Young Palace Master paid a huge price, listening to his voice, it seemed to carry a hint of excitement.

The auction ended, and the crowd began to disperse.

Ye Xuan and Yue Xuan were not in a hurry to leave.

It was not until the crowd thinned out a little that the two stood up, walked out of the private room, and prepared to leave the Myriad Treasures Pavilion.

Just as they reached the steps outside the pavilion, they ran into a group of people head-on.

Leading them was the Big Dipper Young Palace Master, the Young Palace Master, and beside him followed the two Emperor Realm old men, as well as several attendants with not-weak auras.

The Young Palace Master's gaze fell unreservedly on Ye Xuan, carrying scrutiny and a hint of hidden hostility.

"This Fellow Daoist, you look very unfamiliar."

The Young Palace Master stepped forward, blocking the way. His tone seemed polite, but actually carried a condescending interrogation.

"I wonder where you come from? You are so generous with your spending, purchasing the void soul crystal, you must have unique needs for the Dao of Space or Divine Soul Cultivation?"

Some Cultivators who had not yet dispersed slowed their steps, casting looks of watching a good show.

The Big Dipper Young Palace Master, is he trying to get back at them?

Ye Xuan stopped, his gaze calmly looking at the Young Palace Master, as if looking at the grass and trees by the roadside, and said indifferently: "Move aside."

Two words, plain and waveless, yet they made the fake smile on the Young Palace Master's face freeze instantly.

The two Emperor Realm old men beside him changed their expressions slightly, stepped forward half a step, vaguely protecting the Young Palace Master behind them, and looked at Ye Xuan solemnly.

For a moment, the surrounding atmosphere instantly became tense.

The atmosphere outside the Myriad Treasures Pavilion froze instantly, and invisible pressure permeated the air.

The Cultivators who had not yet dispersed stopped one after another.

Unwilling to miss this rare good show, the Big Dipper Star Palace Young Palace Master, against the mysterious Daoist in Green Robe.

If there were any trouble, the scene would certainly be interesting.

The fake smile on the Young Palace Master's face disappeared completely, replaced by a gloomy expression.

As the leader of the younger generation in the Big Dipper Star Domain, and even more so the Young Palace Master of the Big Dipper Star Palace, when has he ever been treated with such contempt in public?

Especially since the other party was the mysterious person who had snatched the void soul crystal from his hands at the auction with a near-crushing posture.

"Fellow Daoist."

The Young Palace Master's voice cooled down, word by word.

"In front of this Young Palace Master, shouldn't there be some etiquette? Although the void soul crystal was purchased by you, this Young Palace Master is asking nicely, and this is your attitude?"

The two Emperor Realm old men beside him had already locked their auras onto Ye Xuan. Although they did not make a move, their surrounding Dao Rhyme flowed, already shrouding Ye Xuan and Yue Xuan within it.

One of the thin-faced, sharp-eyed old men said in a deep voice: "This Fellow Daoist, our Young Palace Master has no malice, just curious about your origin. Tianxuan Ancient City is a major town under the jurisdiction of our Big Dipper Star Palace. Since you have come here to participate in the grand event, stating your name is only proper."

These words were soft on the outside but hard on the inside, pointing out the authority of the Big Dipper Star Palace here, and also seemingly giving the other party a step down.

Ye Xuan, however, seemed not to have heard the old man's words. His gaze still calmly looked at the Young Palace Master blocking his way, and he repeated those two words, his tone without even a ripple: "Move aside."

This time, even the surrounding Cultivators watching the show felt that undisguised indifference.

This Daoist in Green Robe, he didn't put the Big Dipper Star Palace in his eyes at all!

The Young Palace Master laughed in extreme anger: "Good! Very good! This Young Palace Master would like to see, what qualifications you have to be so arrogant!"

His eyes turned sharp, and he shouted to the two old men beside him: "Old Zhao, Old Sun, invite this Fellow Daoist back to the Star Palace as a guest for me. I would like to properly inquire about this Fellow Daoist's origin."

"Young Palace Master, wait."

The thin old man called Old Zhao frowned slightly and once again advised in a low voice.

His cultivation was higher, and his perception was sharper.

The Daoist in Green Robe before them had an aura as calm as an abyss, and when faced with their two Emperor Realm aura locks, he had no reaction at all.

This kind of reaction meant either the other party's strength was unfathomable, or the other party's strength was too low, so low that he could not feel his pressure.

But judging from the current situation, it was obviously not the second case.

What frightened him even more was the woman with a white veil covering her face. Although she was standing to the side, she gave people a sense of being unreal, as if she would merge into the Void Realm and disappear at any moment.

These two were definitely not easy to deal with.

"Old Zhao!"

The Young Palace Master glared at him with dissatisfaction.

"Could it be that our Big Dipper Star Palace is afraid of two people of unknown origin?"
