Chapter 316: Auctioning For The Nirvana Pole Shadow
Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations
Universal Pier Hotel was where a man wearing a space hat was finding the Star Searching Merchant House’s auction place anxiously. Whether from the front view, side view or even from his aura, one could tell very clearly that it was Mo Wuji.
Very soon, Mo Wuji had already sat on a seat that wasn’t too obvious. He had long ignited the shield ban around his seat such that before he released the ban, nobody would be able to use their spiritual will to sense Mo Wuji.
Peng Zimai’s face was full of smiles as he walked to the middle of the auction place, ”Fellow friends, there will be many unbelievable treasures up for auction this time which was why I will personally be hosting this auction. I hope that all my friends here would be able to purchase treasures that they like. We need to state beforehand that this auction will only accept the space contribution points. Alright, the auction shall begin now.
The first item was a book and this book was neither a technique book nor a magic skill book but a Book of Records. After flipping through, I noticed that there were all sorts of interesting sketches and explanations for example, ‘Why the immortal road was cut off’, ‘Why is it impossible to be immortal’, ‘The origins of the Half Moon Immortal Palace as well as the half moon key…”
Honestly, Peng Zimai was extremely against putting this book on auction because this book would definitely not bring any good to the auction and could even invite trouble.
But since the Yan Clan wanted this to be put on auction, he had no other choice because at least for now, the Yan Clan had absolute control over the Star Searching Merchant House.
Solitary Red Knot told Mo Wuji that the Star Searching Merchant House was a property of the Yan Clan but this wasn’t completely accurate. The Star Searching Merchant House didn’t belong to the Yan Clan 100% and as for the reason why Peng Zimai looked for Mo Wuji earlier on, he was simply trying to earn a huge profit of contribution points from Mo Wuji.
The moment Mo Wuji heard about the half moon key, he immediately thought of the half moon key that was stolen away from Pang Qi by the Jing Clan. His first reaction was to think about whether he should buy it but he dismissed the idea of bidding for it very quickly. He didn’t know the relationship between the half moon key and the Half Moon Immortal Palace and he didn’t wish to know. Since the Yan Clan was already dragged into it, it would be very hard to not get involved with the Yan Clan if he went there. What he urgently needed wasn’t some sort of Book of Records but a pole technique instead.
Even though Mo Wuji wasn’t interested, there were quite a number of people interesting in getting it. Within a short period of time, the price of the book had already soared to 9000 contribution points.
On the second level of the auction place in cabin number 17, there was a grey robed man staring at a massive array monitoring screen.
This screen was different from the other cabins because for the other cabins’ monitoring screen, they were all showing the bids of the auction as well as the introduction for the items that were being introduced. However, the array monitoring screen in front of him was showing every corner of this auction place.
”Investigate who was the one who just bought the Book of Records, ” The grey robed man sounded out the moment the Book of Records was successfully purchased.
”Yes,” A cultivator standing beside the grey robed man said and left immediately.
After a short while, this cultivator came back and answered, ”It was an old man with a very raw face. It looked like it is a disguise.”
The grey robed man nodded his head, ”Include him in the list of people to take note of. And also, did that Mo Wuji do anything yet?”
This cultivator replied immediately, ”After Mo Wuji entered the huge cabin, he didn’t do anything extraordinary up till now.”
…
Peng Zimai took out the second item for auction, ”The next item for auction would be a top grade spiritual armour. The starting bid would be 5000 contribution points and every increment should not be lesser than a 100 contribution points.”
The moment he heard it was an armour, Mo Wuji couldn’t help but to bid. But when he remembered the situation he was in, he still controlled himself because he probably shouldn’t bid too often because it might attract the attention of people.
Very soon, this armour’s bid increased to over 100,000 contribution points and was eventually purchased by someone.
”The third item would be a Heaven grade technique, Flowing Clouds Bible…”
Before Peng Zimai could finish introducing the item, the entire auction place was already filled with cheers because not everyone was like Mo Wuji who ignited a shield ban around his seats to isolate himself from the rest.
Peng Zimai used his hands to quieten the crowd, ”Even though the Flowing Clouds Bible might be a Heaven grade technique, it is incomplete which is why the starting bid would be 50,000 contribution points and each increment would not be any lesser than 1000 contribution points.”
Even though Peng Zimai had already mentioned that this was an incomplete Heaven grade technique book, the bid rose up to 100,000 contribution points very quickly and was currently still on the rise.
Mo Wuji sighed in his heart because he never expected a Heaven grade technique book to be this attractive to the crowd. He wondered if he would have as many competitors for his Nirvana Pole Shadow too.
He only had about 1,600,000 contribution points while one million of the points were from the Star Searching Merchant House the other 500,000 points was from the Xia Clan’s Single Horn Battlestage. To get this 500,000 contribution points, he even needed to sign a contract with the Single Horn Battlestage which was to challenge someone at the Single Horn Battlestage after the auction ended and he could only leave the Single Horn Battlestage 10 days later.
This contract was only known to the Single Horn Battlestage and himself so even the Star Searching Merchant House was not aware of it.
Mo Wuji would naturally not tell the Star Searching Merchant House anything and certainly not about the Single Horn Battlestage.
In fact, only the Xia Clan’s Single Horn Battlestage would dare to do such things because if it was any other battlestage, even if Mo Wuji signed a contract with them, they wouldn’t dare to compete against the Star Searching Merchant House.
