Chapter 972: Flame Evolution (2/2)

The evolution of his Scholar's Heart took an hour. Whether anyone noticed the aura of the primal fire crystal or not, he was definitely going to leave this place as soon as possible.

With his fastest speed, Mo Wuji kept his array flags. Thereafter, he activated his Wind Escape Technique and disappeared without a trace.

In just half an incense's time after Mo Wuji left, a gold-robed man landed at where Mo Wuji just was. He looked at the empty space, then he suddenly bent down and observed the sand. He muttered to himself, ”It's indeed a primal fire crystal.”

Just as he said this, his face changed and he instantly disappeared. Thereafter, another two shadows landed on that spot. These two stayed for an even shorter period of time before they left swiftly in the same direction as the gold-robed man.

…

At this instant, Mo Wuji was already in Dew Drop God City.

Since he entered High Firmament City, he never revealed his true appearance. Even when he was teaching Qu Chendan Di Jie, he was in the disguise of a yellow-faced cultivator.

Now that he was in Dew Drop God City, he changed his appearance to that of a middle-aged rogue cultivator. The intermediate grade mask that Qu You gave him had been extremely useful.

Dew Drop God City was livelier than High Firmament City. Even though it didn't have the same grandeur as High Firmament City, Mo Wuji could tell that Dew Drop God City had far deeper roots than High Firmament City.

There were even some signs for Tier 5 god pills outside some shophouses. Mo Wuji could even occasionally see shops selling high-grade god equipment.

In God Continent, even God Kings could only use high-grade god equipment.

Mo Wuji soon found the venue of the auction that Qu Chendan mentioned. This auction was organised by Dew Drop God City itself. Thus, huge advertisement arrays were installed everywhere. According to the introductions on the advertisements, this auction will be the biggest auction in Dew Drop God City since the last hundred years.

The purpose of the auction was also written clearly. It was in preparation for the upcoming assessment by Nirvana Learning Academy.

A ticket to enter the main hall required 5,000 high-grade god crystals. As for personal boxes, the prices were definitely, they would definitely cost much more. Even if Mo Wuji had enough god crystals, he still wouldn't be able to get one. This caused Mo Wuji to lament inwardly. Just from the entrance tickets alone, this auction was going to earn a huge fortune.

Mo Wuji was afraid that if he was too late, he wouldn't even be able to get a ticket to the main hall, so he hurriedly purchased a ticket. The ticket number was already approaching 10,000. His seat was the 132 seat of the 87th row.

With one day left to the auction, Mo Wuji didn't search for inns but headed to the biggest herb shop in Dew Drop City, Dan Qian Merchant House

Mo Wuji was not a complete stranger to God Continent. Moreover, he had also heard Chi Kun say it before, Dew Drop City's Dan Qian Merchant House had a huge supply of god herbs.

When Mo Wuji stepped into Dan Qian Merchant House, he found that while the shop was huge, it was brimming with people.

There were at least one to two thousand people squeezed in the first floor. From Mo Wuji's observation, most of these cultivators were here to sell their god herbs. There did not seem to be any others like him that were here to purchase god herbs.

Most of those selling herbs were selling those that were in Tier 4 and below. He rarely saw Tier 5 god herbs, and even if he did, he only saw one or two.

Without a salesperson to guide him, Mo Wuji could only squeeze in and ask, ”I would like to purchase large amounts of high tiered god herbs, may I ask whether there's a deacon around?”

Perhaps Mo Wuji's words attracted the attention of the people inside, a cleanshaven man greeted him with a smile, ”May I ask which pill house are you from?”

”I'm here to represent my clan. I will need large amounts of god herbs,” Mo Wuji smiled and said.

Typically, those that came to purchase large amounts of god herbs were either sent here by pill houses or pill refiners.

Hearing that Mo Wuji was sent by a family clan, this man said with a wider smile on his face, ”I'm Deacon Gong Kai of Dan Qian Merchant House. May I invite Dao Friend to the second floor.”

Dan Qian Merchant House's first floor was messy and squeezy, but the second floor was extremely clean. Mo Wuji only saw few other cultivators and they were all led along by the sales attendants of the shop. These cultivators should also be like him.

Under the guidance of Gong Kai, Mo Wuji was led to a quiet room. Just as the two sat down, a female cultivator came over and served two steaming hot cups of tea.

”Dao Friend requires which god herbs?” Gong Kai didn't ask which clan Mo Wuji was from. With his experience, he only needed a single glance to tell that Mo Wuji wasn't representing a clan. But this didn't mean that he wasn't to do this business. Usually, such shady business earned the most money and there was even the likelihood of obtaining a rare treasure.

”I need Tier 5 god herbs, the more the better,” Mo Wuji went straight to the point.
