A clump of light appeared in Grandmaster Mo Qing's withered hand. It was a palm-sized withered leaf. The withered leaf was dark yellow in color and it was filled with tree patterns. This withered leaf looked extremely unremarkable. If it wasn't for Grandmaster Mo Qing taking it out, no one would have thought that it was the legendary Undying Divine Leaf.
There was a divine tree in this world, known as the Undying Divine Tree. Its lifespan was so long that it was unbelievable. As the tree stood between the heavens and earth, it was indestructible despite the myriad of tribulations.
That divine tree would grow a leaf every thousand years, which was the Undying Divine Leaf. It was said that the Substitute Leaf that was refined from this leaf possessed the miraculous ability to give one another life.
It was precisely because of this that the Undying Divine Leaf was sought after by countless experts. After all, there were too many rare items in the world, but they only had one life.
Thus, every time an Undying Divine Leaf appeared, it would attract many experts to fight for it without any hesitation, no matter how great the price was.
In the huge auction hall, the eyes of countless people were burning with desire. If it wasn't for their rationality telling them that using force in a place like this was courting death, there might really be people who wouldn't be able to control themselves and try to snatch it.
On the auction stage, Master Mo Qing looked at the countless greedy gazes as he spoke in a calm tone, "The price of the Undying Divine Leaf is 10,000 Sovereign Spiritual Liquids."
When he spoke, everyone froze for a moment before they sucked in a cold breath. 10,000 Sovereign Spiritual Liquids, such a huge sum wasn't something that ordinary people could take out.
Such a divine item.
Indeed, it belonged to the rich.
When Mu Chen heard the price, he was also stunned, before bitterly smiling.
"What should we do?" Jiu You also knitted her brows, since the price had also exceeded her expectations.
Furthermore, the crucial point was that after a few rounds of fighting, the price would definitely soar.
With their remaining Sovereign Spiritual Liquids, they clearly couldn't deal with this fight.
Mu Chen fell into silence for a brief moment, before saying, "Let's look at the situation first. If it really doesn't work, I still have some treasures and Divine Artifacts that I have obtained from the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament.
If it's converted, it can be used as some Sovereign Spiritual Liquid. "
Mu Chen rubbed his forehead. He finally understood how important Sovereign Spiritual Liquid was in the Great Thousand World. In the past, when he was in Hokuang Reiwon, he had no idea about it. But now, he started to understand that without Sovereign Spiritual Liquid in the Great Thousand World, it would be tough for him to take a single step forward.
The Spirit Condensing Bowl in his hand.
Although there should be a large amount of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid in there, the seal was too powerful. Even Jiu You could only break a portion of it in a short period of time.
Jiu You helplessly nodded her head. Back then, she had stored quite a bit of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid, but she had used it all in her Tribulation.
Therefore, the current her couldn't help much in this aspect.
"Why don't I contribute something to exchange for some Sovereign Spiritual Liquid?"
Lin Jing whispered from the side. Although Mu Chen had only used slightly over a thousand drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid to buy the Heavenly Flame Chalcedony for her, it still made her feel uneasy in her heart.
When Mu Chen heard her words, he only smiled and did not speak a word.
As they spoke, the auction of the Undying Divine Leaf had already started. Just as Mu Chen had expected, the majority of those fighting for it were the important figures in the pavilions up ahead.
Behind them.
All of them had the support of powerful forces with robust financial resources. Therefore, in less than a minute, the competition had already started to heat up.
The price had already soared to 15,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid.
It was already on par with the price of the Void Great Solar Fruit. Furthermore, the competition still hadn't ended.
Mu Chen calmly looked at the competition before him. When the price had risen to such a height, there were only three parties left. Two of them were the feminine-looking youth and the Heart Fairy Fox of the Celestial Fox Sect. As for the other party, it was a grey-robed old man. The old man had an amiable expression, except that there was a ferocious black skull embroidered on his sleeves.
"That should be someone from the Demonic Skull Mountain. The Demonic Skull Mountain is the Overlord of the Skull Continent and is extremely powerful. But overall, they're still a little weaker than our Great Heaven Domain and Sky Profound Palace." Jiu You revealed the identity of the grey-robed old man.
Mu Chen lightly nodded his head. The Greatlaw Continent was, after all, a Super Continent. To be able to become a peak force wasn't something that just anyone could compare to.
Naturally, the Demonic Skull Mountain wasn't an ordinary force. Otherwise, the grey-robed old man wouldn't dare to compete with the Sky Profound Palace and Celestial Fox Sect.
"17,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid."
Just when Mu Chen was paying attention to the grey-robed old man, the latter spoke in a hoarse voice and raised the price by 2,000, which instantly caused a series of clicking noises.
"Hehe, this is already my final price. If the two of you can raise it higher, then this old man will stop and give face to the Sky Profound Palace and Celestial Fox Sect." The grey-robed old man smiled as he looked at the feminine-looking youth and Heart Fairy Fox.
Heart Fairy Fox revealed a lazy smile as she gently shook her head, "How can I, Elder Gui Ku, continue to compete with you?
Let the Young Palace Master of the Sky Profound Palace, Liu Ming, bid. "
The feminine-looking youth instantly smiled with a conceited expression, "Since that's the case, then I will accept your offer. I'm afraid that it won't be easy for others to snatch something that my Sky Profound Palace has taken a liking to."
As he spoke, he cast a glance at Mu Chen with a chill in the depths of his eyes.
"20,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid." Liu Ming smiled as he looked at the Elder of the Demonic Skull Mountain.
Innumerable people sucked in a cold breath once again. It looked like the Sky Profound Palace had their eyes on the Undying Divine Leaf and was actually willing to pay such a price to obtain it. 20,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid, if it was a smaller force, it would probably be hard for them to obtain such a profit in a year.
The instant increase of 3,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid caused the grey-robed old man's face to change, but he could only sit back down. Clearly, the price of 20,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid had exceeded his limit.
Although the Undying Divine Leaf was precious, paying 20,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid for it was too heart-wrenching.
Seeing that the auction was about to end, Jiu You couldn't help looking at Mu Chen. The latter narrowed his eyes with a chill surging in his black pupils. A brief moment later, he gently shook his head.
Clearly, he had already decided to give up.
"If I miss this opportunity, I'm afraid that I won't know when I'll be able to encounter it again. I have no idea how long I'll have to delay your Sovereign Celestial Body." Nine Nether said with her brows slightly knitted.
"It's still too early to say that we've missed it." Mu Chen smiled.
"What do you mean?" Jiu You asked in puzzlement.
"Because someone is greedy and wants to take away the Void Great Solar Fruit as well."
Mu Chen said calmly, "Since others can target us, why can't we target them?"
"You want to make a move against them?" Jiu You squinted her eyes as she said in astonishment. She never thought that Mu Chen would be so daring.
"I'm not the one that wants to make a move against them, but they will make a move against us." Mu Chen said in a soft voice, "Are you confident in dealing with that old man?"
He was naturally referring to the black-robed old man beside Liu Ming.
"His strength is at Fifth Grade Sovereign, a grade higher than me. However, the fighting strength of a Divine Beast is stronger, so he can't do anything to me. However, I'm afraid that I won't be able to kill him." Jiu You said in a solemn voice.
"That Liu Gui has the strength of a First Grade Sovereign, and should have cultivated a Sovereign Celestial Body. On the surface, his strength seems to be stronger than mine. Therefore, as long as he gets that old man to hold you back, he will be confident in dealing with me."
Mu Chen smiled as he continued, "Judging from his bidding methods, this person is arrogant and will definitely take revenge for the smallest grievance. Since I've embarrassed him earlier, he will definitely not let me off."
"Looks like it won't be easy for us to leave this place."
"Then, let them try."
A chill flashed across Jiu You's eyes. If that fellow really dared to have any ideas on them, she wouldn't mind letting him know what it meant to go for wool and come home shorn.
Mu Chen smiled, but there wasn't much warmth in his smile. Although he didn't want to cause any trouble, it didn't mean that he was afraid of it. If Liu Ming really wanted to make a move, then he would have the perfect excuse to borrow the Undying Divine Leaf.
He wasn't afraid of failure. At the worst, he could just get Jiu You to turn into her original form and escape. With Jiu You's speed, even if the black-robed old man possessed the strength of a Fifth Grade Sovereign, he wouldn't be able to do anything to them.
As they spoke, the auction of the Undying Divine Leaf had already come to an end. As expected, it had fallen into the hands of Liu Ming. The price of 20,000 was sufficient to make everyone retreat.
On the auction stage, Master Mo Qing waved his sleeve as a bell rang out. The Undying Divine Leaf had officially fallen into Liu Ming's hands.
Seeing this, Liu Ming smiled in satisfaction as he gently rubbed the armrest of his chair. He narrowed his eyes as he looked at Mu Chen's direction and muttered, "A brat that's still wet behind his ears dares to snatch something from me? He's truly courting death."
Boom.
Another clear bell rang out in the auction stage. Shortly after, countless people straightened their bodies. It was so much so that even the veils on the small pavilions were pulled apart as numerous gazes were fixed on the auction stage.
That's because they knew that what was coming next would be the finale of this auction.
Many of these powerful factions had actually come for the final item.
Mu Chen had also raised his head at this moment as he curiously looked at the auction stage. He also wanted to know what kind of treasure could be placed after the Void Great Solar Fruit and Undying Divine Leaf.
Under the countless blazing gazes, Master Mo Qing clenched his fist as a golden object quietly appeared, instantly attracting everyone's gazes.
