Chapter 780: Immortal Slave

Mo Wuji cursed in his heart, this price was indeed very steep. He remembered when he used to treat every single green crystal like a treasure; now, a simple entrance ticket already needed 500 of said green crystals. Don’t simply look at his millions of green crystals. He only had that much because he earned them as a Pill Emperor, and because he just robbed Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion. For an average immortal in Cosmos Edge, 500 green crystals was truly a lot.
”What’s the price of a good room?” Mo Wuji interrupted the attendant’s words again,
”20 green crystals for a night. It is rich in immortal spiritual energy and it overlooks half of Cosmos Edge. In the room, there are two cultivation rooms and an auxiliary room. Of course, there are cheaper options. For example, there are rooms which cost 10 or 5 green crystals a night…” This attendant could tell that Mo Wuji seemed like a hot-tempered person; so he said all these words in a single breath.
Indeed, an average person couldn’t afford to stay here. Back in Heaven’s Beyond City Square, people only needed 10 green crystals as a down payment for his services.
However, Mo Wuji did not mind. These thousands of green crystals weren’t vital for his cultivation. After this attendant finished speaking, he retrieved 1150 green crystals and said, ”I want an entrance ticket near to the front of the auction. Also, I want to stay in the room which costs 20 green crystals a night for a month. The remaining 50 green crystals are your tip.”
”Ah…” This attendant was instantly enveloped in joy. However, he quickly reacted and hurriedly kept the green crystals as he said respectfully, ”Senior, you can rest assured. I will arrange everything properly for senior.”
50 green crystals. This was the biggest tip that he had ever gotten.
…
This attendant wasn’t lying. Not only did he help Mo Wuji get a relatively good room in Dao Listening Immortal House, he also helped Mo Wuji get a seat in the first 30 rows of the auction.
The moment Mo Wuji entered the room, he immediately modified the seals and arrays protecting the room. Thereafter, he headed for the auction together with Shuai Guo. Even though there were still two to four hours before the auction began, he couldn’t help but feel anxious.
If not because of his insufficient abilities, he would have directly gone and questioned the auction. If the immortal slave was really Cen Shuyin, then he would have immediately attacked.
The auction site was shaped like a cone; right at the centre, there was a huge jade stage. The items displayed on the jade stage which could be seen clearly in all directions.
The auction had yet to start. Thus, Mo Wuji spent the time browsing through the introductory jade letter of Cosmos Edge. Within an incense’s time, Mo Wuji had a rough understanding of Cosmos Edge.
There were hundreds of races gathered here in Cosmos Edge. It’s rumoured that this is the entrance to a higher world. If an Immortal Emperor wishes to take a step further in his cultivation, he could only leave from here. Otherwise, due to the low-levelled Laws of this world, even the most talented cultivators couldn’t reach a higher level.
There were several strong races in Cosmos Edge. There were the Demon Race, the Gods Race, the Devil Race, the Barbarian Race, the Vampiric Race, the Sea Race, the Spiritual Race, etc. The Human Race used to be one of these strong races. However, because of continuous defeat in the Heaven’s Beyond Cosmos, it had lost most of its territory. Now, it doesn’t even have an encampment in Cosmos Edge. It only has a Very High Heavens Cosmos Immortal City. It had thoroughly dropped to the ranks of inferior races.
Besides the Cosmos Wall, which he already knew of, there were also other sources of cultivation resources and treasures here in Heaven’s Beyond Cosmos. They were the Shattered Ruins outside the cosmos and the Heaven’s Beyond Secret Realm.
In comparison, the items from the Cosmos Wall were the most ordinary. By most ordinary, it didn’t mean that the things from the Cosmos Wall were of low value. Instead, there were no inferior items here, and the items from the Cosmos Wall were simply the most ordinary ones of the lot.
On the other hand, a majority of the best treasures came from the Shattered Ruins. It’s rumoured that even Xiantian treasures had appeared in the Shattered Ruins.
It was also specially stated that to survive in Cosmos Edge, one must not offend several powers. Besides the strong races, there were also some trade unions, city squares, organisations, etc.
Apparently, Mifei Trade Union was among this list of ”Powers that could not be offended”.
Mo Wuji frowned as he kept the jade letter. He wasn’t afraid of Mifei Trade Union. He was currently at the pinnacle of the Immortal Reverent Stage; the Great Circle of the Immortal Reverent Stage was just a step away. Even if there was a Grand Emperor, he wouldn’t be afraid. However, Mo Wuji was clear that it was still a long road till he became a peak expert here.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to advance to the Immortal Emperor Stage first before coming. It was because he was very clear of his own Dao. Stepping into the peak of the Immortal Reverent Stage in ten years was indeed too fast. By this time, even if he had more cultivation resources, and even if he was any more talented, he still wouldn’t be able to step into the Immortal Emperor Stage immediately.
Originally, he wasn’t afraid. Since he was by himself, he had the freedom to do whatever he wanted. He wouldn’t even be afraid to enter the void. But now, he was really worried that the immortal slave on auction was Cen Shuyin. If it was Cen Shuyin, then he couldn’t go according to his previous plans of openly antagonising Mifei Trade Union.
Moreover, after reading this jade letter, Mo Wuji became especially clear that he had to be prudent here in Cosmos Edge. He could only act if someone else was the one that challenged him and laid hands on him first.
After some time, Mo Wuji sighed. His power was truly not enough. Even though his cultivation speed was heaven-defying to the point where it could not get any better, he could not help but feel his deficiencies at this moment.
As time passed, more people entered the auction venue. Soon, the seats around Mo Wuji were filled with cultivators of varying auras.
After another incense’s time, the jade stage in the middle of the auction site lit up. A pretty woman in a green dress walked onto the stage. Mo Wuji didn’t even need to use his spiritual will to know that this woman’s cultivation was merely in the Grand Luo Immortal Stage.
