Chapter 657 - Nine Dragons and Elephants Art

On the auction platform, Master Mo Qing’s hand flickered with golden light as a golden scroll appeared. The scroll was very ancient in appearance, as if it came from the ancient times, and emitted a desolate aura.

As the light circulated, there were illusions of dragons and elephants forming as it unleashed a mighty prestige.

Countless gazes were fixed on the golden scroll. They had clearly sensed how extraordinary it was.

Under the countless gazes, Mo Qing raised the golden scroll in his hand as his robust voice resounded throughout the entire field, “This is a Divine Art developed from an ancient scripture. It is slightly damaged, and thus, I consider this to be a Quasi-Perfect Rank Divine Art. However, it possesses endless potential. If anyone could comprehend the profundity in it, I believe it’s might would be comparable to a Perfect Rank Divine Art or even surpass it.”

“A Divine Art that surpasses the level of Perfect Rank Divine Art?”

Many hearts jolted from his words. Generally speaking, Perfect Rank Divine Arts were considered the ultimate treasures of those peak forces. Only the core personnel could cultivate in it. But right now, Mo Qing actually claimed that this Quasi-Perfect Rank Divine Art was comparable to a Divine Art that surpasses Perfect Rank?

Hearing his words, even Mu Chen was a little startled and slightly frowned his brows. He did not overlook a sentence spoken by Mo Qing. That was, if anyone could successfully comprehend the profundities...

“Haha, Master Mo Qing, judging from your speech, this so-called ‘Quasi-Perfect Rank Divine Art’ isn’t so easy to cultivate.” Just when Mu Chen was pondering, an alluring voice rang out. The Heart Fairy Fox of the Celestial Fox Sect spoke out while smiling. Clearly, with her scrupulous heart, she managed to hear the crucial point.

“Haha, Heart Fairy Fox is indeed sharp.” Mo Qing lightly smiled as he nodded his head, “Indeed, this is a Quasi-Perfect Rank Divine Art. Up till today, there was not a single person that has managed to successfully cultivate it. In my view, this is even more profound than genuine Perfect Rank Divine Arts.”

Hearing his words, a commotion broke out in the auction house. There wasn’t a single person that had successfully cultivated it?

Shortly after, they felt relieved. If someone had managed to cultivate this Divine Art, the owner of it would probably not take it out to auction. Such a powerful Divine Art was a formidable means and trump card.

“Oh?” Liu Ming smiled with his eyes narrowed as he stood up. He looked at the golden scroll with interest as he smiled. “I have never encountered a Divine Art that can’t be learned. I’ll want to try it today.”

Although part of the reason why Liu Ming could achieve First Grade Sovereign Realm at his age was depended on the resources of the Sky Profound Palace, it also proved his own talent. Thus, he was conceited and refused to believe that there was any Divine Art that he couldn’t learn in this world.

A few pavilions up ahead had nearly directed their gaze over. Although they were greatly interested in it, if it was as Mo Qing had said, that it possessed terrifying potential, it would greatly benefit the forces behind them.

“The name of this Divine Art is called the Nine Dragons and Elephants Art, the starting bid of this is 20,000 Sovereign Spiritual Liquids.” Mo Qing’s indifferent voice resonated throughout the entire auction. The high price of it made innumerable people’s face twisted.

Mu Chen was also helpless as he pulled his lips. Although he was extremely interested in this Nine Dragons and Elephants Art, he couldn’t compete for it.

Right now, those possessing the wealth to compete for it would probably be those experts with peak forces standing behind them.

Although the price of this Divine Art made many stare with yearning and could only hold their step, the competition for it was even more intense than the other auctioned items. Those that had belonged to powerful forces but were hiding their strength and biding their time had all acted.

In an instant, the auction house was filled with heavy bidding voices. The price had continuously risen to the point that the eyes of many others turned red as they drooled with envy.

The competition for this Nine Dragons and Elephants Art lasted for ten-odd minutes, before it gradually came to a stop. In the end, the price of it had reached 32,000 Sovereign Spiritual Liquids.

The one that called the highest price was Liu Ming of the Sky Profound Palace.

The results made many people sigh as this Nine Dragons and Elephants Art should’ve been Liu Ming’s primary objective in this auction.

What made others feel startled was that the one that obtained the Nine Dragons and Elephant Art was actually this Liu Ming from the Sky Profound Palace.

The results made countless others sigh. Looks like Liu Ming came to this auction for the Nine Dragon and Elephant Art. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have prepared such a vast amount of Sovereign Spiritual Liquids.

Mu Chen was also inwardly smacking his lips. At this point in time, he realised how lucky he was to be able to purchase the Void Great Solar Fruit earlier. Liu Ming’s primary objective wasn’t that item; otherwise, if he became reckless, it would probably be hard for Mu Chen to obtain the Void Great Solar Fruit.

After all, his foundation was still too thin.

When Liu Ming raised the price to 32,000 Sovereign Spiritual Liquids, no one fought with him for it. The faces of several experts changed, but they still chose to give up.

In the pavilion covered by tulle, the Heart Fairy Fox of the Celestial Fox Clan had her brows slightly frowned as she said, “This Liu Ming is really willing. Such a huge amount of Sovereign Spiritual Liquids will let even the Sky Profound Palace feel pain for a while.”

“He is too conceited.”

The ordinary-looking middle-aged man standing behind the Heart Fairy Fox lightly smiled. “That Nine Dragons and Elephants Art is extremely strange. It’s impossible for ordinary people to learn it. Although Liu Ming has some talent, he’s still too lacking if he wants to learn it.”

“This Liu Ming was just ordinary in the younger generations of the Skylaw Continent. Compared to his elder brother, Liu Yan, he’s still too lacking.”

“Haha, Liu Yan is the candidate for the next Palace Master of the Sky Profound Palace. His name has been widely spread in the Skylaw Continent.” Heart Fairy Fox said with a smile.

“Miss isn’t any weaker than him.” The middle-aged man smiled.

Heart Fairy Fox smiled as she shifted her gaze towards another direction in the auction hall, stopping on Nine Nether, who was seated beside Mu Chen, and spoke in a soft voice, “That lady is also very powerful, to reach this height at her age. I wonder, what force is she from?”

“I believe Liu Ming will help us investigate that matter,” said the middle-aged man.

“Oh?” Heart Fairy Fox lightly lifted her brows, but she understood the meaning shortly after and smiled, “This Liu Ming is a little too daring. I wonder if he will kick into an iron plate this time.”

As the two of them spoke, the auction had already ended. With the price of 32,000 Sovereign Spiritual Liquids, the Nine Dragons and Elephants Art fell into the hands of Liu Ming.

The bell rang out in the entire auction house. Everyone was softly sighing as they looked at Liu Ming, who was full of harvest, with envy.

Liu Ming watched the endlessly envious gazes as he let out a proud smile. He enjoyed the revering gazes, they gave him a different feeling.

When Liu Ming was enjoying the gazes coming from the entire auction, Mu Chen calmly stood up from far away, turned around and left with Nine Nether and Lin Jing without casting him a glance.

Liu Ming looked at his silhouette as a smear of chill flashed across his eyes. His slender fingertips were lightly streaking across the armrest of the jade stone chair, drawing marks on the armrest in an instant. The surface of the cut was as smooth as a mirror.

“Elder Mu, send someone to watch them. I want to know their movements. Although we can’t act in Merchant City, we will let them know that there are some people that they cannot afford to offend once they leave.” Liu Ming said with indifference.

Standing behind him, the black-robed elder slowly nodded his head.

Liu Ming smiled as he looked at the Heart Fairy Fox, who was walking out of the pavilion from the side. The latter’s alluring figure and prideful curves blazed flames in his heart and he quickly left with a smile on his face.

...

Along with Nine Nether and Lin Jing, Mu Chen walked out of the auction house and completed the item’s transaction, taking the items that he had purchased.

Standing in the Auction Items Retrieval’s secret chamber, Mu Chen looked at the fruit in his hand that was blazing like the sun and felt a heavy relief. No matter what, he had managed to obtain an ingredient. Right now, all he lacked was the Undying Divine Leaf before he could cultivate the Great Solar Undying Body.

He had great expectations about how powerful the Sovereign Celestial Body would be for it to require such rare treasures as materials.

“Here, for you.”

Storing the Void Great solar Fruit, he handed the Heavenly Flame Jade Chalcedony over to Lin Jing, who was standing next to him.

Lin Jing was smiling as she took it, her face was filled with a gratified smile. Although with her identity, she was numb to seeing treasures, it was still something that she had obtained herself.

“Thanks.” She gave an eye-narrowing smile.

“I’m the one that benefitted.” Mu Chen smiled. The Defensive Spiritual Jade that Lin Jing had given him was even more precious than the Heavenly Flame Jade Chalcedony regarding price.

“But we might have to split up now.”

Mu Chen stared at Lin Jing. Next up, they would have to experience a battle, and if Lin Jing follows them, she might be in danger.

Hearing his words, Lin Jing shook her head as she smiled, “We’re friends, right? Would a friend run to save herself?”

Mu Chen was stunned as he looked at the young lady before him and smiled in the end.

“Then, let us go together. If we fail at that time, we will run together.”
