Old Five is a Goose.
Chapter 786 Immortal Slave
"What's the price of a better room?" Mo Wuji interrupted the attendant again.
"There are rooms for twenty green crystals a night, with rich immortal spiritual energy, overlooking half of Universe Corner. The room also has two cultivation rooms and a refining room. Of course, there are cheaper ones, like ten and five green crystals a night..." The attendant sensed that Mo Wuji seemed to be a somewhat impatient fellow, and said all of this in one breath.
Indeed, it wasn't something ordinary people could afford. When he helped people refine pills in the Outer Heaven Market, the deposit was only ten green crystals.
Mo Wuji didn't mind. He didn't rely on these thousand or so green crystals for his cultivation. After the attendant finished speaking, he took out one thousand one hundred and fifty green crystals and said, "Get me an admission ticket for the Sky Universe Auction in the front rows, and I'll take a room for twenty green crystals a night for a month. Keep the extra fifty green crystals as your tip."
"Ah..." The attendant was struck by a huge surprise. After a moment, he reacted, quickly put away the green crystals, and said even more respectfully, "Senior, rest assured, this junior will definitely handle everything properly for you."
Fifty green crystals! This was the biggest tip he had ever received.
……
The attendant hadn't lied. He not only arranged a good room for Mo Wuji at the Listening Dao Immortal Building, but also got Mo Wuji a seat in the front thirty rows of the auction.
Mo Wuji immediately modified the various restriction formations in his room, and then took Shuaiguo to the auction. Even though there were still one or two hours before the auction, Mo Wuji was already very anxious.
If his strength was enough, he would have gone directly to the Sky Universe Auction to openly inquire. Once he confirmed it was Cen Shuyin, he would immediately take action.
The auction hall was shaped like a funnel, with a huge jade platform in the center. Any item displayed on this jade platform could be seen clearly by everyone around.
Before the auction started, Mo Wuji took out the Universe Corner introduction jade slip given by the attendant and began to browse. In just the time it takes to burn an incense stick, Mo Wuji had a general impression of Universe Corner.
There were at least a hundred races concentrated here in Universe Corner. It was rumored that this place was the entrance to a higher-level interface. Those who cultivated to the Immortal Emperor realm and wanted to go further could only leave from here. Otherwise, the rules of the interface were too low, and even the most talented cultivators would not be able to make progress.
The most powerful races in Universe Corner were the Demon Race, the God Race, the Devil Race, the Yi Sheng Race, the Blood Race, the Sea Race, the Spirit Race, and so on. The Human Race was once one of the powerful races, but it had suffered defeat after defeat in the Outer Heaven Universe, losing almost all of its territory. Now it didn't even have a base in Universe Corner, only the Supreme Heaven Universe Immortal City. It had completely become a marginal race.
The main sources of cultivation resources and treasures in the Outer Heaven Universe, besides the Universe Wall he knew about, were the Rift Ruins on the periphery of the universe and the Outer Heaven Secret Realm.
In comparison, the things from the Universe Wall were the most common. Saying they were the most common didn't mean their value was the lowest, but because there was nothing bad and nothing particularly good there.
Most of the best treasures came from the Rift Ruins. It was rumored that even fragments of innate treasures had appeared in the Rift Ruins.
The jade slip also specifically reminded that in order to survive in Universe Corner, the major races and forces that could not be offended included not only those powerful races, but also some chambers of commerce, markets, organizations, and so on.
The Mi Fei Chamber of Commerce was conspicuously listed as one of the forces that could not be offended.
Mo Wuji put away the jade slip and frowned. He wasn't afraid of the Mi Fei Chamber of Commerce. He was at the peak of the Immortal Venerable realm, only one step away from perfection. Even if a Great Immortal Emperor came here, Mo Wuji wouldn't be afraid. But Mo Wuji was also very clear that he still had a long way to go to reach the level of the top experts here.
It wasn't that he didn't want to advance to the Immortal Emperor realm before coming, but that he understood his Dao very well. Entering the Immortal Venerable perfection realm in just a few decades was too fast. Even if he had more resources and was more talented at this time, he couldn't immediately step into the Immortal Emperor realm.
Originally, he wasn't afraid at all. He came and went freely alone, and he wasn't afraid of entering the void. Now he was worried that the immortal slave at tonight's auction was Shuyin. If it was Shuyin, then he couldn't follow the previous plan and directly attack the Mi Fei Chamber of Commerce.
Moreover, through the introduction jade slip, Mo Wuji was even clearer that he couldn't casually make a move in Universe Corner. Unless someone provoked you and attacked you first, then you could strike back.
After a long time, Mo Wuji sighed. His strength was still insufficient. Even though his cultivation progress was heaven-defying beyond belief, he still felt the lack.
As time passed, more and more people came to the auction. Soon, Mo Wuji was surrounded by cultivators with various auras.
After another incense stick's worth of time, the jade platform in the middle of the auction hall lit up, and a pretty woman in a green dress walked up. Mo Wuji didn't even need to use his divine sense to scan to see that the woman's cultivation was only at the Grand Luo Immortal level.
"Welcome, distinguished guests from all over the Outer Heaven Universe, to our Sky Universe Auction. I am Yi Luo'er, the presenter of this auction. Today is the Sky Universe Chamber of Commerce's largest annual auction. Because the Outer Heaven Secret Realm has just closed, this auction will have very big surprises to offer everyone." Yi Luo'er finished speaking and bowed.
The hall quieted down. Without Yi Luo'er saying it, everyone knew that this auction would have many good things. Just look at the Sky Universe Auction's publicity. Notices for the Sky Universe Auction were everywhere in Universe Corner.
Mo Wuji forced himself to calm down. He wasn't here for various treasures.
"The main bidding method for this auction is green crystals and high-grade immortal spirit veins. Immortal crystals are not accepted. If you are consigning items, you can use items to bid. Whoever wins will be determined by the consignor. Now, the first item is up for auction. This is a divine power. The name of the divine power is Double疊Wave…" As soon as Yi Luo'er said the name Double疊Wave, Mo Wuji heard subtle discussions around him.
Although he had never heard of it, he could guess that the origin of this divine power should not be small.
Yi Luo'er's voice promptly enlightened Mo Wuji, "I believe many people have guessed who this divine power belongs to. That's right, it's from Zhan Peng the Great Emperor, the number one expert of the Sea Race in the past. When unleashed, it has the power to overturn the sea. The starting price for this divine power is ten thousand green coins, and each increase must be no less than one thousand."
"Eleven thousand..."
"Twelve thousand..."
……
While Mo Wuji was still wondering what problem Zhan Peng the Great Emperor had eventually encountered and why he wanted to sell his signature divine power, the price had already soared to thirty thousand green coins.
Although Mo Wuji had more than five million green crystals on him, after hearing these people's bids, he knew that he really wasn't that wealthy.
In the end, this divine power was taken away by someone with thirty-seven thousand green coins.
Another jade box was sent to Yi Luo'er's面前. Yi Luo'er held up the jade box that was sent over and said in a crisp voice, "The second item to be auctioned is very rare. I believe many people have come for this treasure. This treasure comes from the Outer Heaven Secret Realm. It is a pair of Void Illusion Wings..."
Sure enough, as soon as the words "Void Illusion Wings" were spoken, the atmosphere at the scene became even more enthusiastic. Mo Wuji was also shocked. He knew what these things were.
Void Illusion Wings were actually top-level immortal materials. They didn't need to be refined by a refiner at all. Anyone who obtained them could refine them into their own wings. These wings could be hidden directly when not in use, transforming into nothingness. Once used, they could be waved at any time, very flexible.
Most importantly, these Void Illusion Wings could be upgraded. In the future, as long as you obtained better treasures, you could continuously upgrade the Void Illusion Wings.
Which guy was it who actually took this kind of treasure out for auction? How short of green crystals was he?
"The starting price for the Void Illusion Wings is one hundred thousand green crystals, and each increase must be no less than ten thousand." As soon as Yi Luo'er's words fell, the price on the bidding monitoring screen kept changing.
In a short time, it increased from one hundred thousand to three hundred thousand, and then slowed down.
Mo Wuji sighed secretly. He really wanted this thing. Mo Wuji could afford hundreds of thousands of green crystals, but he didn't want to waste a single green crystal bidding on other things before he saw that immortal slave. Mo Wuji also guessed that the price of an immortal slave would not exceed ten thousand, but he had to keep any accidents in his own hands.
The Void Illusion Wings were quickly auctioned off for three hundred and seventy thousand green crystals, plus six immortal spirit veins.
The third item auctioned was a top-level flying magic weapon, a semi-supreme-grade immortal artifact, with a starting price of five thousand green crystals. It was eventually purchased for fourteen thousand green crystals.
The fourth, fifth, and sixth items were either extremely rare top-level immortal materials or artifacts that surpassed the level of supreme-grade immortal artifacts. Mo Wuji wasn't interested in either the materials or the artifacts. Those artifacts were all snatched from the Universe Wall. Although they were said to be artifacts, they were actually damaged, and they weren't even as good as top-level immortal artifacts.
Obviously, Mo Wuji wasn't the only one who knew this. The pretense of low-grade artifacts still couldn't make the many participants take out more green crystals.
"Next, we will be auctioning off an immortal slave..."
Yi Luo'er's words immediately made Mo Wuji perk up and stare at the auction stage without blinking.
Not many people actually paid attention to the sale of an immortal slave. In fact, bringing immortal slaves to this kind of auction was a complete waste of everyone's time. If you wanted an immortal slave, you could go to the immortal slave market in Universe Corner. What kind of immortal slave wasn't there?
Yi Luo'er seemed to know that everyone wasn't interested and said with a smile, "This immortal slave is no ordinary immortal slave. She is not only a very beautiful fairy, but also has a pure Yin physique. These are not the main points. The main point is that this immortal slave also has a Hidden Water Spiritual Root..."
The previously unenthusiastic auction hall immediately became noisy after hearing the four words "Hidden Water Spiritual Root."
