Elder Chan chuckled. "Thank you, but our Headmaster prefers the wisdom root."
Bai Ni's eyes lit up. "Headmaster Lu?"
Elder Chan nodded.
Bai Ni swallowed and looked at the others. They exchanged glances and made up their minds.
The auction continued, and the atmosphere was heated. But for some reason, someone suddenly joined the fray and raised the price crazily. This person's bid was so high that no one else dared to compete.
Lu Yin had wanted to compete, but he gave up. Some things would eventually fall into his hands, so there was no rush.
In the end, the wisdom root was won by the person who was determined to get it. As for who it was, no one knew. The plaza was not a special auction, but rather the most respected place in the entire Hundred Martial Universe. That was why the auction was held here, but it was not difficult to hide one's identity.
On the platform behind the plaza's statue, Bai Ni heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had won the bid. This thing might be able to break the ice between them and Master Lu.
They had thought that Master Lu would not care about the wisdom root.
Elder Chan was amused, but he did not expose them. Many people in the universe wanted to get closer to the Headmaster, and even Progenitors were no exception.
The auction continued.
Many people were bidding, but some did not make a move. They were waiting for the finale.
"The next item to be auctioned is a Starry Gate. No one knows where this Starry Gate leads to. We are only auctioning it because someone asked us to do so. Perhaps it leads to the Everlasting Race, or perhaps it leads to the location of the expert who obtained this Starry Gate. Everything is unknown.
Lu Yin raised an eyebrow and looked at the platform. How bold of them to bid for a stargate.
Any stargate could be connected to the Everlasting Race, so generally speaking, any discovered stargate would be brought to the Hexagon for them to decide. Yet here they were auctioning one.
Lu Yin looked at the platform behind the statue, and his expression darkened.
Elder Chan frowned and glanced at Bai Ni and the others. "What's the matter with this stargate?"
Zhao Li quickly stepped forward and smiled apologetically. "Elder Chan, this stargate actually came from one of my elders, and it leads to a place where he once cultivated. It has nothing to do with the Everlasting Race, which is why we dared to auction it. If it had anything to do with the Everlasting Race, we would have sent it directly to the Above Heaven Sect."
"That's not all. We can use this Stargate to see if there are any Eternals among the bidders," Qing Du said.
Elder Chan shook his head. "You're underestimating the Eternals. How can they be so easily identified?"
They were embarrassed and didn't say anything.
In the end, this Stargate was auctioned off. Ordinary people didn't dare to buy this Stargate. After paying a huge price, they would either send it to the Above Heaven Sect or the Six Paths Society. Otherwise, they would be unlucky. Moreover, they would be targeted by the Eternals. Only an idiot would buy it.
Just as Elder Chan had said, even if there were Eternals in the plaza, they wouldn't bid for the Stargate.
Da Heng, Luo Shan, and the others were even less likely to bid. Right now, Second Fate only wanted to leave and wait for the final item to appear. When that time came, those ruthless people would have no time to deal with them. Only then would they be able to leave. Naturally, they would not bid for the Stargate now.
After the Stargate, there were several more auction items. Looking at the situation, it was unknown how many there were.
One of the old men couldn't hold back any longer. Rising to his feet, he shouted, "What the hell are you people doing, Bai Ni?
Hurry up and auction the stones. Why do you think we're here?
Are we giving you money? "
"That's right. Hurry up and auction the stones. We've been waiting for so long."
"How long do you want us to wait?
？”
"Hurry up."
More and more people were growing impatient. On the high platform, the beautiful woman was at a loss. Although she had experience in auctioning, she was still terrified by so many ruthless people below the platform. Almost all of them were top-notch experts from different space-time universes. She looked at the statue pleadingly.
On the high platform behind the statue, Bai Ni gritted his teeth. "These fellows are clearly here to watch the show. Where did they get the confidence to bid?"
"Let's just directly auction the stones. These fellows don't care, but if we offend someone, it won't be easy to clean up the mess," Esteemed Yanga said.
King Luofu nodded. "Let's begin."
Bai Ni nodded and gave the order.
On the high platform below, the beautiful woman sighed and adjusted her state of mind. She then faced the crowd once more. "In accordance with everyone's request, the next auction item will be the final item: five stones and the beast hides that wrap them. The starting price will be none.
"Because the final item is precious, the other items that will be auctioned will be similarly precious. My Bai Ni Space-Time may not recognize any of them, so they will all be auctioned with cultivation resources from the Primordial Space and star essence. The final auction items will be sent directly to the Above Heaven Sect."
When she said this, the crowd went into an uproar. They were actually sending the auction items to the Above Heaven Sect?
No one had expected the Bai Ni Space-Time to play such a hand. What was the meaning of this?
They were trying to lean towards the Above Heaven Sect.
Luo Shan was flabbergasted, and he looked at the high platform behind the statue. He naturally saw Bai Ni and the others, as well as Elder Chan.
These fellows still had some brains, as even the Above Heaven Sect was interested in the mirage domain's legend. They had not handed the stones over to the Above Heaven Sect, as they had their own needs. Now that the auction had been held smoothly, they had obtained what they needed. After the auction, they would hand over the items to the Above Heaven Sect, and the Above Heaven Sect would definitely not treat them unfairly.
Everyone knew that Lu Yin liked star essence.
This was killing three birds with one stone. They had obtained what they wanted, gained the favor of the Above Heaven Sect, and even relied on the Above Heaven Sect. In the future, anyone who wanted to do anything to the Hundred Martial Space-Time would have to think twice, as the Above Heaven Sect would not stand idly by.
They had some brains.
Most people thought of this, and for a moment, they had a whole new level of respect for Bai Ni and the others.
Second Fate and the others were shocked.
Second Bone praised, "If nothing unexpected happens, the Hundred Martial Space-Time, the Yanga Space-Time, and the Luofu Space-Time will form an alliance. This auction has successfully spread their influence, and they might even gain the protection of the Above Heaven Sect. As for any losses, they won't suffer any losses. The Above Heaven Sect won't accept their resources for nothing. They're smart."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Second Kindness with a worried expression. "Fourth Brother, can we go now?"
Second Kindness gasped for breath. "Let's go."
On the other side, Lu Yin was just as surprised by Bai Ni and the others' actions. Their actions had made it impossible for the Above Heaven Sect to ignore them. Interesting.
Atop the statue's platform, Elder Chan's gaze swept over Bai Ni and the others. "What are you trying to do?"
Bai Ni hurriedly replied, "Please forgive us, Elder Chan. We want to use this auction to make a name for ourselves, so we can't directly give the stone to Master Lu. However, we'll send all of our bids to the Above Heaven Sect as a token of our sincerity."
Elder Chan laughed. "Do you think that the Daolord lacks these resources?"
King Luofu respectfully replied, "Master Lu naturally doesn't lack them. This is just our sincerity. Aside from that, I don't know what else could possibly catch Master Lu's eye."
Elder Chan smiled and did not say anything else.
This was survival. Some people were born with high positions, while others had to use various methods to reach that position.
There was no mistake, as Bai Ni and the others had already done enough.
However, things might not go as they wished.
Below, the auction had already begun.
"A supreme treasure like mine would be worth at least fifty million star essence in the Origin Space."
"You have the nerve to take out fifty million?
This is a supreme treasure that can block attacks from powerhouses. It's worth at least a hundred million. "
"Do you think it'll be a hundred million just because you say so?"
"If you can't, I'll leave my head here."
"Ever since the Origin Space was connected to the Hexagon Society, everyone has more or less understood the value of star essence. Mine is worth at least two hundred million."
"Mine can be exchanged for 258.43 million."
"How did you calculate your 430,000?"
"It's none of your business."
The auction did not start, and chaos ensued. However, everyone knew that the true powerhouses had yet to make a move.
The four from Second Fate were already walking towards the exit of the plaza.
Lu Yin looked up at the platform and suddenly took a step forward, reversing the flow of time.
Everything around him froze. Lu Yin arrived at the platform and looked at the entire plaza.
No one could move, and no one could see him.
Lu Yin sneered. There were at least five Sequence Laws experts present, and all of them could touch the power of time. How could they not sense that he had reversed the flow of time? Fine, since you want to pretend, I'll let you pretend to your heart's content.
Lu Yin waved his hand, and five stones flew out from the tray. One flew towards Da Heng, one towards Luo Shan, and one towards Second Fate. He casually tossed the remaining two away, leaving the beast hide where it had been.
Lu Yin took another step forward and left. Everything returned to normal.
What had just happened happened in an instant for those who couldn't touch the power of time. In an instant, all the stones had been shot out.
Da Heng subconsciously caught the stone. How could this be?
Luo Shan also caught the stone and looked at Da Heng.
Another stone flew towards the exit of the plaza, and Second Bone caught it. Not good, an absolute powerhouse!
Not everyone who had reached the Sequence Laws would be able to see Lu Yin reverse the flow of time, but Lu Yin was certain that there was someone present who could see him use it, or even break through it. He had a feeling that this was the case.
The other two stones fell towards the other auctioneers, and for a moment, the plaza fell silent. Then, there was an angry roar that caused the auction to take an unexpected turn.
"Put it down!"
Someone snatched the stone and tried to flee, but he was stopped by someone else.
Not far away, a woman lashed out with a whip towards Da Heng. "Hand it over."
Da Heng clenched his fists. There was something wrong with this auction, but this stone was the same as the one he already had, so he had to get the other stones.
As far as the eye could see, the whip broke, and the woman was shocked. "Sir, I …" Before she could finish, she was sliced apart by the Sequence Laws, and blood splattered across the ground.
Someone else tried to snatch Luo Shan's stone, but they were also killed by Luo Shan.
Da Heng looked at Luo Shan, and Luo Shan looked back at him. "Let's work together."
"Alright."
At the exit of the plaza, Second Bone threw the stone away. They would not participate in this competition.
But for some inexplicable reason, another stone flew towards them. Second Kindness abruptly turned to look in a certain direction, where Lu Yin was looking at them.
Second Kindness' eyes narrowed, and he felt his scalp go numb. "Brother, let's go."
No one would be able to leave easily.
