Chapter 3622: Duan Ling Tian Doesn’t Lack Divine Stones

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When Duan Ling Tian was still in Descent Mountain City, he had already heard of the Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary Divine Pills. Normally, one of the pills went for 1,000 taels of divine rocks. Collectively, they usually fetched about 3,000 to 5,000 taels of divine rocks. Under normal circumstances, no one would usually pay more than 5,000 taels of divine rocks for it.

Duan Ling Tian was determined to obtain the pills since it would help him become an intermediate or possibly, an advanced god. Moreover, he had the supreme cultivation method, the Thousand Changes Illusory Technique, that his master taught him, which he then used to upgrade the Nine Dragons War Sovereign technique. With his supreme cultivation method, the pills were even more beneficial to him. Hence, even if the three pills cost 20,000 or 30,000 taels of rocks, he would still be willing to buy them.

In room nine.

“Brother,” Duan Qiao Yu, who was sitting next to Duan Ling Tian and holding his arm, called out with a frown on her face. Then, she said, “Brother, don’t you believe me? I don’t have them with me now, but I know where to get the Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary Pills. There’s no need to compete with him for the pills here. Let him have them for 8,000 taels of divine rocks.”

“It’s fine. I have a lot of divine rocks anyway,” Duan Ling Tian said with a smile as he shook his head.

Earlier, Duan Qiao Yu had already tried to stop him when he bade for the pills with 7,000 taels of divine rocks. After all, she could get the pills at a much cheaper price outside. The caveat was they had to wait for three months. However, Duan Ling Tian did not wish to wait. Moreover, he did not lack divine rocks. With more than 190,000 divine rocks, he did not mind even if he had to spend tens of thousands of taels of divine rocks. After all, he was sure he would be able to get more divine rocks once he grew stronger.

Silence descended as soon as Duan Ling Tian raised the price to 10,000 taels of divine rocks.

Zhou Yun and the others shifted their eyes to the window of room nine immediately.

When Zhou Yun regained her senses, she hastily said, “The gentleman in room nine is determined to obtain these pills. Does anyone plan to raise the bid?”

A hint of mockery could be heard in Zhou Yun’s voice nearing the end of her words.

Zhong Si, the Fourth Leader of the Zhong clan, scoffed. However, he did not bid for the pills again nor did he say anything. After all, it would be even more embarrassing if he were to speak up at this moment. Then, he said to his subordinate, “Find out who’s in room nine.”

“Yes, Fourth Leader.” Zhong Si’s subordinate left after responding to him.

At the same time, Zhou Yun counted down. With no one else bidding for the pills, Duan Ling Tian successfully obtained the three pills.

A faint smile appeared on Duan Ling Tian’s face. He was clearly pleased even if he had to pay 10,000 taels of divine rocks for the three pills.

At this time, Zhou Yun continued with the auction. She said, “Ladies and gentlemen, for the next item, we have a prominent cultivation method. The bidding price will start 5,000 taels of divine rocks, and each increment has to be at least 1,000 taels of divine rocks.”

In Skywind City and the areas in its vicinity, prominent cultivation methods could be considered rare as well. With a high innate talent, one could become an advanced god with it. One of the easier ways to cultivate the prominent cultivation method was to borrow them from the three major king-rank forces in Skywind City. However, the borrowing fee was rather high.

There were many people present who wanted the prominent cultivation method for their own use, and there were equally as many who wanted to lend them to others for a fee. Hence, as soon as Zhou Yun’s voice fell, many people began to bid for it.

“5,000 divine rocks!”

“6,000 divine rocks!”

“7,000 divine rocks!”

“8,000 divine rocks!”

It did not take long for the price to surpass 10,000 taels of divine rocks. Eventually, the prominent cultivation method was sold at 15,000 taels of divine rocks to someone on the ground floor.

After the auction for the second item ended, a knock rang in Duan Ling Tian’s room.

“Sir, I’m a member of the Zhou clan. I’m here to hand you the three divine pills.”

One of the perks of paying for a room was that the item would be personally delivered rather quickly.

“Enter,” Duan Ling Tian called out.

The door opened, revealing a middle-aged man with a medium build. The bottle of pills was placed on a red cloth that was draped over an ornate tray in his hand. He said with a smile, “Sir, please examine the item. If there’s no problem, you can hand the divine rocks over to me.”

Duan Ling Tian nodded. Then, his eyes shifted to an old man who had come into the room after the middle-aged man entered the room. He saw the old man looking at him, Yu Qiu Xuan, and Duan Qiao Yu furtively, but he did not pay attention to the old man. Instead, he handed 10,000 taels of divine rocks to the middle-aged man and said, “Thank you.”

“Thank you, sir,” the middle-aged man said before he left the room and closed the door behind him.

After the middle-aged man and the old man left the room, they walked a distance away before they finally came to a stop at a corner of the corridor. Following that, the old man handed a few divine rocks to the middle-aged man as he said, “I’m sure you know Fourth Leader Zhong dislikes those who can’t keep a secret. Pretend you don’t know anything. Otherwise, your family will be in danger.”

The middle-aged man was, in fact, not a member of the Zhou clan. Instead, he was a member of a small clan under the Zhou clan. Zhong Si’s subordinate had blocked his path earlier and threatened him while he was on the way to deliver the pills to Duan Ling Tian. The old man had threatened to harm his family if he refused to cooperate.

“Rest assured, my lord. I won’t say a word about this,” the middle-aged man said respectfully as he put away the divine rocks.

“Very well.” The old man nodded, satisfied, before he returned to room six.

As soon as Zhong Si saw the old man, he asked with a hint of impatience, “So? Did you find out who is in room nine?”

“There are three people there, and I’ve never seen them before,” the old man replied.

Zhong Si’s eyes flashed coldly. “They must not be from around here. No one in or around Skywind City would’ve dared to cross me unless they’re members of king-rank forces themselves. Do you remember their faces?”

The old man nodded. “Yes, I did. There’s a purple-clad young man, a woman, and a teenage girl. However… They don’t seem like ordinary people, Fourth Leader. Perhaps, we shouldn’t act rashly before we investigate their backgrounds.”

“I know.” Zhong Si was experienced, after all. How could he be the Fourth Leader of the Zhong clan or manage so many restaurants if he was an impetuous person?

…

The auction continued; items were auctioned off one after another.

After obtaining the three pills, Duan Ling Tian did not bid for any other items since none of them were useful to him.
