The Alternative Way of Enlightenment

Chapter 210: White Jade Iron
Xia Yiming met the Divine Silkworm Princess when he came to the Holy City last time. He also knew that she had a high level of cultivation, but she was aloof and didn't care much about etiquette.

But to his surprise, the ignorant and cute Long Li next to him was actually a hidden strong man.

After knowing that the two powerful men were brought by Liu Shan, several uncles of the Great Xia Dynasty looked at Liu Shan with puzzled eyes and began to speculate about Liu Shan's identity.

"The auction of Tianyao Baoque has already begun. Let's hurry over there." Xia Yiming began to change the subject. He could sense the discomfort of several of the imperial uncles.

Several uncles of the Great Xia Dynasty had an excuse, so they bowed slightly to Long Li and the Princess of the Divine Silkworm again, then smiled gently at Liu Shan and disappeared instantly.

They were very embarrassed that two powerful men were here and ignored them. They would feel more comfortable if they could get away as soon as possible.

"Shall we go too?"

Seeing that several imperial uncles had already gone there, Xia Yiming directly summoned a treasure carriage, and several people flew in. Nine dragons instantly appeared in front of the treasure carriage, and began to pull the treasure carriage and fly out.

Soon, the dragon chariot brought a few people to an extremely luxurious and huge palace with purple light flowing all over it.

"Brother Xia!"

Liu Shan and his companions had just gotten off the Jiaolong Cart when a familiar voice came over.

Yao Yuekong was already waiting eagerly in front of the Heavenly Demon Treasure Palace. The arrival of the Prince of Daxia was worthy of his personal welcome.

Looking at Liu Shan beside Xia Yiming, Yao Yuekong instantly recognized his identity. They had met once before in Miaoyu Temple.

After not seeing each other for several years, Yao Yuekong felt that Liu Shan was particularly familiar. Although he was confused, Yao Yuekong still greeted everyone enthusiastically and began to lead the way for them personally.

The few people were led to a VIP room, which was located upstairs and could see everything below.

At this time, the entire auction hall was packed with people, as if all the monks in the entire holy city had rushed over, and there was almost no empty seat to be seen.

Looking at the many cultivators below, Liu Shan was very glad that he could follow Xia Yiming this time.

If it becomes popular at the auction later, with the Great Xia Dynasty taking the blame, a lot of trouble can be avoided.

The Princess of the Divine Silkworm, who had been indifferent to everything, began to radiate chilliness. Although she had been expressionless before, this undisguised coldness was still hard to accept.

Xia Yiming was a little confused. Why did this senior suddenly get angry?

Liu Shan looked at the Princess of the Divine Silkworm. The only one who could make her angry should be the Buddhist monks in the Western Desert, right?
Looking around, I saw a few old bald men walking slowly towards me not far away.

A few bald men with rings on the back of their heads and golden light radiating from their bodies!

It turned out that people from Western Desert Buddhism had come. No wonder the Divine Silkworm Princess changed her expression.

This auction was unusually grand, with many powerful figures showing up, but Liu Shan didn't know most of them, so Xia Yiming took the opportunity to introduce them to him.

"when"

The long and distant bell rang again, and the originally noisy Tianyao Baoque suddenly became quiet.

In the very center of the entire auction hall, a huge floating Taoist platform suddenly appeared. It was made entirely of precious jade, with divine light flowing and crystal clear.

Soon, a white-haired old man slowly flew onto the platform.

His steps were slow but powerful.

Walking to the center of the platform, the white-haired old man smiled and looked around with his clear eyes, then announced the start of the auction.

As the old man finished speaking, sixteen girls flew onto the platform one after another.

They are all demons, each with a graceful figure, covered with veils, and holding items to be auctioned.

The pretty face and the precious treasures radiating precious light compete for glory together.

The auction went on uneventfully, and Liu Shan was not very interested in most of the items sold.

Soon, a fairy girl came up to the platform with lotus steps, holding a jade plate in her hand. There was a crystal clear stone on the jade plate.

Liu Shan took a quick look and smiled. He was very familiar with this stone. It was the World Stone that he had sold before.

"hiss"

Soon exclamations were heard in the auction hall. No one had expected that Tianyao Baoque would release such an important treasure just as the auction began.

Soon, an endless stream of bids rang out.

The World Stone is a rare treasure that can be used by all forces. It can open up a small world without the intervention of the ancient saints, so everyone is competing to bid.

Looking at this lively scene, Liu Shan was not envious, although the rare treasures he exchanged from the Tianyao Treasure Palace might not be worth as much as what he got at the auction.

But he still had a lot of these rare treasures, so he didn't cherish them, and ordinary source stones were meaningless to him.

"Brother Liu, don't you want to give it a try?" Xia Yiming looked at Liu Shan with a smile on his face. He was obviously interested, but he hadn't made any bid, so he asked curiously.

Hearing Xia Yiming's words, Liu Shan just shook his head slightly and did not express his opinion.

Afterwards, all kinds of rare treasures appeared one after another, attracting the excitement of many powerful forces and old men who were proud of their status. They all started to loudly bid for the prices. For a moment, many young monks were unable to get a word in.

Liu Shan started playing with Long Li out of boredom. He had no interest in these treasures.

Because a small half of the items being auctioned were items he had sold before, it seemed that the items that would really interest him would have to be at the very end.

"Next, there will be an auction of a valuable treasure." The white-haired old man on the platform began to speak.

Then the bustling auction hall suddenly fell silent. All the cultivators became interested. Liu Shan, who was originally playing with Long Li, also formalized his attitude.

Soon, sixteen fairy girls flew onto the stage together. At this moment, they were all panting, and the gauze around them was absorbed by their own sweat, making them look very weak and powerless.

The girls worked together to lift up a huge wooden plate. The wooden plate was emitting precious light, which showed that it was a rare treasure. There was also a red cloth covering it.

All the monks' attention was drawn to these sixteen fairy girls, all of whom had great cultivation skills. For them to be struggling so hard, the rare treasures on the wooden tray must be incredibly heavy.

The white-haired old man in the center waited for the sixteen girls to come to him. He gently held the wooden tray and then lifted the red cloth. Instantly, a soft divine light emanated.

"The mutton-fat white jade divine iron!"

"One of the Nine Heavenly Divine Jades!"

An uproar broke out, and all the cultivators knew that the Nine Heavens Divine Jade would appear in this auction.

But no one expected that Tianyao Baoque would be so generous and actually took out such a large piece of Nine Heavens Divine Jade.

The white-haired old man watched the discussion with a smile. This lively scene was all within his expectations!
"Everyone should know this divine jade! I won't introduce it to you in detail!"

"This piece of divine jade weighs a full 1.5 million kilograms. It was sold by a strange man through our Tianyao Baoque."

"Everyone can bid as much as you want!" said the white-haired old man enthusiastically.

However, the expected competitive bidding did not appear, and the atmosphere instantly cooled down.

There is no cultivator who would not be tempted by such a large piece of white jade divine iron, but this is too big. Ordinary cultivators may be tempted, but they simply cannot afford it.

Even a powerful cultivator from a holy land family would be unable to purchase such a large piece of Nine Heavens Divine Jade.

That's why the scene is so quiet now. No one dares to bid, or no one has the courage to bid.

Soon, the silence was broken by a voice.

"Everyone is tempted by such a large piece of mutton-fat white jade divine iron, but it is too big. Who has the financial resources to buy it all? Why don't you sell them separately?" The voice raised the question on behalf of all the cultivators.

Hearing this, the white-haired old man on the platform also smiled bitterly. He could only bow slightly to express his apology.

"It's not our Tianyao Baoque, and we don't want to sell them separately, but the seller specifically told us that we can only sell them as one, otherwise he won't sell them through our Tianyao Baoque!"

After hearing the explanation of the white-haired old man, all the cultivators were confused. They didn't understand the seller's idea. If it was sold separately, the value of this Nine Heavens Divine Jade would be even higher!
"We only sell it. If you are interested, you can buy it together and divide it among yourselves later." The white-haired old man gave all the monks an idea.

"I'll offer five million kilograms of source stones!" Soon people started bidding.

This kind of rare treasure will never be unsold, but its value is too great for ordinary people to afford. Some small forces are beginning to prepare to join forces to buy it.

"Brother Xia, aren't you going to make an offer?" Liu Shan teased as he looked at Xia Yiming with infatuation in his eyes.

After hearing Liu Shan's words, Xia Yiming withdrew his gaze from the mutton-fat white jade divine iron and smiled awkwardly.

"It's too precious. I really can't offer a price." Although Xia Yiming is the prince of Da Xia, he cannot use millions of kilograms of resources to buy the divine materials he needs.

"Oh, in that case, I'll make an offer!"

At this time, the price in the field has soared to 20 million kilograms of source stones, and there is still no sign of stopping.

"Fifty pieces of Divine Source!" A gentle voice came from the VIP room, instantly shocking the entire audience.

All the monks were frightened by these light words.

Fifty pieces of divine source!
Everyone bid for ordinary source stones, but the value of these fifty divine source stones is completely different.

Although a piece of divine source is only worth 500,000 kilograms of ordinary source stones, source stones are easy to obtain but divine sources are hard to find!
There is no way to compare the two of their values!

There may be a small amount of divine sources appearing on the market, but a large amount of divine sources will definitely not circulate. Generally, divine sources only want to appear in the world, and will be collected and preserved by powerful forces.

After all, the Divine Source is a rare resource that can be passed down from generation to generation. Ordinary cultivators can use ordinary source stones to increase their cultivation speed, but after reaching the Immortal Stage, if they want to cultivate quickly, they must use the Divine Source.
