Chapter 781: Where Did This Rash Dolt Come From?

Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations

Mo Wuji’s heart sank. Hidden spiritual roots might never appear in one’s entire lifetime. But once it did, that person would definitely be treated as a commodity.

Hidden spiritual roots are the best targets for possession, and they also make the best cauldrons. As for the hidden water-type spiritual roots, it was especially able to curb cultivation deviation.

Cultivation deviation was a common occurrence, especially when one starts cultivating sacred arts. During cultivation deviation, it was easy for one to rupture his veins and burst his spirit channels. However, hidden water-type spiritual roots were able to completely resolve this problem.

But once the person with the hidden water-type spiritual roots starts cultivating water-type skills, the value of his hidden spiritual roots would completely disappear. No matter what spiritual roots this person had previously, it would be completely dissolved. At the same time, the hidden spiritual roots would become the sole spiritual roots of the cultivator, and quality of this spiritual roots was also very pure.

Thus, when one discovers that he has hidden spiritual roots, he would usually choose to cultivate a technique that was of the same element as his hidden spiritual roots. Not only would it aid in his cultivation, it would also help in self-preservation. Once cultivated, hidden spiritual roots would no longer remain hidden.

Yi Luo’Er said with a smile, ”I believe that everyone knows the value of hidden spiritual roots, especially water-type ones. The moment this immortal slave’s hidden spiritual roots appeared, she was discovered. Up till now, she has yet to cultivate them.”

As she was speaking, the stage in front of Yi Luo’Er started to flash. A girl in a blue dress was transferred over. All eyes landed on this girl; everyone knew that this girl was the immortal slave that Yi Luo’Er was speaking of.

”The starting price of this immortal slave is 100,000 green crystals. Each increment must be no less than 10,000. Let the bidding begin.” Yi Luo’Er’s voice resounded.

The moment he saw this female slave, Mo Wuji knew it was not Cen Shuyin. Even so, Mo Wuji sighed; he recognised this female slave.

Mo Wuji remembered that this female slave’s name is Yan Yuerong. She was a pure and kind girl. There was a girl, Xiao Xiaoyu, that constantly followed by her side. Xiao Xiaoyu was also a kind girl. Back when he disguised himself as an ordinary mortal called Da Huang, that Xiao Xiaoyu didn’t try to steal his Draining Immortal King Pill.

On the other hand, this Yan Yuerong actually actively tried to save mortals.

There was no need to talk about how Mo Wuji had a favourable impression of Yan Yuerong and Xiao Xiaoyu and treated the two of them as his friends, just from Yan Yuerong’s kindness alone already warranted his help. Even if he ran out of green crystals, he could find other solutions. But if a person was gone, she was gone forever.

Yan Yuerong’s expression was pale and blank; it seemed as though her soul had already disappeared. Mo Wuji knew that even if he saved Yan Yuerong, that pure and innocent girl would never return.

He recalled Meditation Nunnery’s Su Xi. He had personally witnessed Su Xi’s change. Clearly, in this dog eat dog world, many values were gradually disappearing.

In a short time, Yan Yuerong’s value rose to 300,000 green crystals. The value of a hidden water-type spiritual vein was simply immeasurable. There was no need to talk about how beautiful Yan Yuerong looked. Even if she was used as a cauldron, she would already be very valuable.

”This Emperor offers 400,000 green crystals!” An icy cold voice resounded from within an auction box. Even though it was merely a voice, it seemed to cause the temperature of the auction site to fall significantly.

In that moment, the bidding started to stabilise. No one continued to bid any further. Mo Wuji knew that there were several reasons behind this: 1. The price of 400,000 green crystals was already extremely absurd; 2. Many people feared this fella.

In this auction, one would only need to write his bid on a bidding tablet for the bid to appear on the display screen.

However, this person publicly announced his bid. He was clearly telling others not to compete with him.

Except for Mo Wuji, most of the people in the auction site knew who this icy cold voice belonged to - Leng Ren, the Deputy Head of West River Religious Order.

This person had long gone numb from slaughters and massacres. He completely didn’t place the lives of others within his eyes. Additionally, his West River Religious Order had a notorious reputation of being built on fresh blood.

Everyone also knew the reason why Leng Ren was willing to purchase this immortal slave at such a high price. It was because Leng Ren had been heavily injured in Shattered Ruins, causing his spiritual roots to suffer irreparable damage. He only had one motive in purchasing this immortal slave - possession.

Facing such a vicious person, no one dared to bid any further. Doing so would be offending an unscrupulous expert. Even though this was an auction, no one dared to offend West River Religious Order’s Leng Ren.

Mo Wuji did not hesitate to write ”450,000 green crystals” on the bidding tablet in front of him. He did not know Leng Ren was; he only knew that he had to bid.

Yi Luo’Er’s crisp voice resounded through the crowd, ”Box 29 bids 400,000 green crystals. 400,000 going once…”

Mo Wuji jolted. This was not right, he had just bid 450,000 green crystals. What was going on? Why didn’t it appear on the display screen? Could his bidding tablet be spoiled?

However, Mo Wuji soon dispelled that thought. This was not some electronic device; it definitely wouldn’t spoil for no apparent reason.

”400,000 going twice!”

Just when Mo Wuji wanted to shout his bid, the price on the display screen suddenly changed. It went from 400,000 to 420,000.
