Chapter 543: Chapter 543: Making a hit?
He could probably sense that the world stone was precious.
But he didn’t know why the Holy City and the pawnshop over here were treating it like currency.
Obviously, there was no energy fluctuation inside the world stone!
The only explanation was that the world stone had a more terrifying function than the spiritual stone, making it highly valuable. So valuable that it could not be compared to other spiritual or immortal stones.
Like gold and currency in the real world.
Have you ever seen anyone use gold as a unit of value at an auction?
Who starts bidding with kilograms of gold?
After understanding the reasons, Jiang Xiaobai became even more curious about the function of the world stone.
However, it was clear that no one in the Northern State could know. Perhaps only the Holy City would know.
Otherwise, the Qian Family and that old man before wouldn’t have discarded the world stone as if it was waste.
“I should have asked White Crane before.”
Jiang Xiaobai muttered to himself, then turned his attention to the auction.
At this point, the whole hall was on the verge of exploding. People were bidding in fear, and in less than a minute, the price had already risen to more than forty pieces of world stone!
“That’s not right Jiang Xiaobai, do you remember what White Crane said before? That this technique is the foundation of the Towards Heaven Sect, so why are so many people scrambling for it?”
Ao Yan spotted something wrong and quickly looked at Jiang Xiaobai.
Jiang Xiaobai shook his head too.
If, according to White Crane, the technique is a secret art unique to the Towards Heaven Sect, then only the Towards Heaven Sect would want it.
For others to compete for it is equivalent to offending the extremely terrifying forces of the Towards Heaven Sect!
If they really want to get these treasures and then boldly ask for more from the Towards Heaven Sect, they would have competed for the previous sect lord token.
Why is it suddenly so hot now?
“The only explanation is that the benefits brought about by this technique have already exceeded the consequences of offending the Towards Heaven Sect.”
Jiang Xiaobai squinted, “Otherwise, they wouldn’t be so crazy. Now it’s almost eighty world stones.”
But all this is just speculation, they do not know what the situation is like in the Holy City.
At this point, White Crane suddenly walks into the box. He has a faint smile on his face.
“It’s pretty much what you’re thinking, but there are some discrepancies.”
White Crane smiled gently, “The technique is indeed the foundation of the Towards Heaven Sect, but hundreds of years ago, a traitor from the Towards Heaven Sect publicized the mysterious technique.”
“This is a technique that can strengthen one’s own spiritual power, it’s terrifying, and immediately, the entire Holy City knows about the content of the technique.”
“But knowing is one thing, whether or not one can cultivate to a certain level is incomparable to the Towards Heaven Sect, after all, they are the ones who understand this technique the most.”
“And what was passed down was just half of the technique. The other half is right here.”
“So many people know the secret of this technique. Who wouldn’t want to get the second half of the technique and become stronger?”
White Crane’s words woke everyone up, and everyone seemed to suddenly understand.
So that’s how it is!
In that case, the reason for everyone’s desire to acquire this technique, even at the cost of offending the Towards Heaven Sect, becomes obvious.
If one can obtain the complete technique, the effects would certainly be revolutionary.
If anyone gets the technique and manages to evade pursuit afterwards, they just need to find a place to practice quietly for a few years. Their strength should increase several times over!
Indeed, no one would turn down an opportunity to increase their power. In their eyes, this is a huge opportunity.
If it were Jiang Xiaobai, he would also take a risk to fight for it.
“So, what is the function of the world stone?” Jiang Xiaobai turned to White Crane again.
White Crane mysteriously smiled, “You will know once you get to the Holy City. This thing, it has a great function.”
“You don’t need to worry too much about it, just sit and watch the show.”
White Crane chuckled lightly, and sat down, pouring himself a cup of tea.
Jiang Xiaobai squinted his eyes without saying much more, but turned his attention to the auction.
The place was now in total chaos, these people were like lunatics, constantly increasing the bid. The price had already broken past one hundred world stones!
And this momentum showed no signs of slowing down.
Jiang Xiaobai was a little shocked, were there that many world stones?
“World stone, this thing originally comes from the central area of the Holy City. Subsequently, this thing also appeared in most areas of the Holy City.”
White Crane calmly said, “Because of it’s function, and the degree of preciousness, it can be used as a higher-value currency. It is worth the value.”
“It’s not very rare, and moreover, world stones will appear every now and then.”
Hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai was even more curious. But he doesn’t ask because he knows White Crane won’t tell him even if he asks.
Everything can only be revealed after they arrive at the Holy City.
In the end, when the price reached more than two hundred world stones, it began to slow down. The only ones still competing for the technique were people from those big forces.
The people from the Towards Heaven Sect and the Sky Demon Sect must be there, and both sides were going at it. You place a bid, and I’ll place a bid.
Very steadily, each time increasing by one world stone.
But in such a situation, they didn’t know when a winner could be determined.
However, it was apparent that the Sky Demon Sect was starting to struggle. Their bidding was no longer as decisive as before.
At this time, a bright light flashed in Jiang Xiaobai’s eyes.
He was very clear that everyone wanted to compete for this technique. This also meant that, if the Towards Heaven Sect really wanted to retrieve the technique, they would definitely be ambushed on the way back.
If so, could he take advantage of this and mess with the Towards Heaven Sect?
Hardly had he thought of it when he heard the system’s voice in his mind.
“Congratulations, host, for triggering a choice!”
“Choice one: Do nothing, reward with ten points of reputation.”
“Choice two: Help the Towards Heaven Sect return safely to the Holy City, reward with one hundred points of reputation, and twenty drops of the divine essence.”
“Choice three: By any means, obstruct the Towards Heaven Sect’s return, reward with two hundred points of reputation, fifty drops of the divine essence, and ten thousand immortal stones.”
“Tip: If the host earns normal reputation, an equivalent amount of evil reputation will be eliminated.”
Looking at the choices that appeared before him, Jiang Xiaobai started to contemplate.
Of course, he didn’t want the Towards Heaven Sect to reap the benefits so easily. If he lets them go back, wouldn’t that be too easy?
Can they enjoy a benefit without paying any price? Dream on!
Even if he, Jiang Xiaobai, agrees, the others would not.
But clearly, the Towards Heaven Sect must be aware of this, and they will surely dispatch experts to covertly help.
If he rashly chooses the third option, it is bound to be a bit tricky.
“Jiang Xiaobai, the way you’re acting…are you thinking of messing with the Towards Heaven Sect?”
Zhuang Huanling looked at Jiang Xiaobai and suddenly blurted out.
As soon as her words came out, everyone in the room looked over and found a look of shock in their eyes.
“Seriously, boss? Isn’t that a bit too dangerous?”
