Chapter 974: Chance Water
Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations
When Mo Wuji heard the name Ni Zijian, he thought that it would be a man. However, after the yellow-robed man left the stage, Mo Wuji saw that it was actually a woman walking up the stage.
Ni Zijian looked rather pretty, but she somehow exuded a murderous aura and seductive charm. The combination of these factors gave this woman a unique allure.
”I am Ni Zijian and I would like to represent Dew Drop Merchant Union to thank all the esteemed guests of our auction. Before we begin the auction, I would also like the wish good luck to all the Dao Friends who will be participating in the upcoming Nirvana Learning Academy assessment, to pass the tests and achieve good results. I'm sure that our esteemed guests also know that this auction is in preparation for the Nirvana Learning Academy assessment which will take place in a year's time. I hope that our guests will be able to purchase the items that you like. Now, the auction will begin.”
With that, Ni Zijian waved her hand and a jade box appeared in her hand. She turned the jade box around, then she said, ”The first item up for bid is a Tier 1 god fruit. Its name is the Nascent God Fruit. I don't have to explain much, everyone should be clear about the use of the Nascent God Fruit. According to theory, each fruit can allow a Nascent God cultivator to rise one level in the Nascent God Stage, and one cultivator can only consume two fruits at the very most. Now, I have two Nascent God Fruits in this jade box. The starting bid will be 50,000 high-grade god crystals and each increment must be no lesser than 1,000 god crystals…”
The moment Ni Zijian's words came to an end, the sounds of bids came unceasingly.
Mo Wuji did know of this god fruit; back when he was in the newly incubated God Domain Nest, he encountered a ripe Nascent God Fruit Tree. It was just that he also faced the encirclement of tens of cultivators from Phoenix Soul God Estate and Nine Evolutions God Sect. His little life was on the line at that time, so he couldn't even care about fighting for the Nascent God Fruits.
But the Nascent God Fruit's price is really high. It could be said that its price was the highest among all Tier 1 god herbs. Most Tier 3 and even some Tier 4 god herbs couldn't even compare to the price of the Nascent God Fruit.
He really wanted to buy these two Nascent God Fruits but he only had a total of 200,000 god crystals on him. Before he even started bidding, the price of these two Nascent God Fruits had already reached 120,000.
Soon, someone purchased these two Nascent God Fruits at the price of 170,000 high-grade god crystals. Mo Wuji didn't bid. With that other fella’s overbearing aura, even if he bid 200,000, that fella would definitely continue bidding. The only thing that his bid would do was offend another person. He was here to purchase the Rootless God Steel, so offending a person was inevitable. However, Mo Wuji didn't want to offend one more person than he should.
When the two Nascent God Fruits were sold for 170,000, Mo Wuji lamented in his heart. The person that could afford these fruits definitely wasn't the one eating them.
”The second item for bid is a Sacred Art. This sacred art is called Rain Arrow. This sacred art's starting bid if 100,000 high-grade god crystals. Each increment must be no less than 5,000…”
The moment he heard the name Rain Arrow, Mo Wuji also desired it greatly.
For his own Wind Escape Technique, he managed to deduce five different levels of it. Now, he was at the third level, Wind Teleportation, and it had saved his life multiple times. Moreover, the fourth and fifth level, Guiding Wind and Calling Wind, had already transcended the boundaries of an escape art.
After knowing about Calling Wind, Mo Wuji really wanted to get a rain-type sacred art. Calling the wind and beckoning the rain was a sacred art that he really wanted. Unfortunately, the rain-type or water-type sacred arts that he purchased previously had never been able to allow him to deduce a sacred art on the likes of Beckoning Rain.
Now that a rain type sacred art had appeared in God World, it might actually be a sacred art that could help him truly beckon for rain.
However, this idea only fleeted momentarily in Mo Wuji's mind before it disappeared rapidly. This was because the price of Rain Arrow had already exceeded 200,000 and it was still rising. In the end, this sacred art was purchased at 270,000 god crystals. The embarrassingly short of money Mo Wuji could only continue be an onlooker.
The third item was a quasi-high-grade flying god equipment. Mo Wuji wanted to buy it but he couldn't afford it.
The fourth item for sale was a lightning type sacred art. Mo Wuji also wanted to buy it but he also couldn't afford it.
…
Towards the end, Mo Wuji directly decided to close his eyes. There were truly many good things in this auction. Out of 10 things, he wanted 7 of them. Who asked him to be so poor? He couldn't even afford to buy any of them. The only things he could afford were pills but he had no need for them.
20 hours passed. Mo Wuji started to worry that the Rootless God Steel would be placed as the climax. At that moment, Ni Zijian’s words got him excited once more because he heard the words: ”A drop of Chance Water”.
Chance Water wasn’t Waterseal, nor was it as valuable as Waterseal. After all, the Void Water Seal was one of the top 5 Houtian materials in God World; it was something that could be compared with the Rootless God Steel.
On the other hand, Chance Water was only an extremely rare treasure. In terms of price, it was roughly the same as a sacred art.
The reason why Chance Water was so rare was because it originates from in between two worlds. Chance Water is formed when rootless water in between two worlds fuse with one another. This rootless water does not refer to rainwater; rainwater comes from clouds, so it’s considered a water with roots.
Rootless water, in the words of cultivators, is water that suddenly condenses when the water-type Laws interact. Before this water hits the ground, it is called rootless water.
One can only imagine how rare such a thing is. Usually, the space between two worlds is a void where the Laws were chaotic. Where would rootless water come from? Even if a drop of rootless water forms, it would either fall on a rock, evaporate, or get collected away. There’s less need to talk about rootless water from two worlds forming simultaneously, then fusing with one another.
Chance Water could only be formed by chance. In the space where two worlds intersect, spatial tears suddenly appear and drops of rootless water simultaneously come through the spatial tears and fuse. That’s how Chance Water could be formed.
