Chapter 86 - Who Bought It?

When the auctioneer on the stage received the news, he was surprised. If Zhou Zhentian did not come to him personally, the auctioneer would have thought it was a joke.

It was something that had never happened before in Jingdu Auction House.

At this moment, the crowd had not left yet. They were still stunned by the sky-high price. The auctioneer returned to the stage again, cleared his throat, and said, “Now, we’ll add a special auction item.”

The crowd was disinterested. What auction item could compare to Hetu and Luoshu Diagram?

“One hundred divine soul pills. The starting price is 5,000 top-grade spirit stones.”

Everyone’s reaction was the same as Zhou Zhentian’s, thinking that the auctioneer had given the wrong number.

“What? I didn’t hear it wrong, did I? One hundred divine soul pills!”

Although the divine soul pill was not as precious as the Hetu and Luoshu Diagram, it was still a supreme-grade pill. It was difficult to refine and had a miraculous effect on healing the spirit and consciousness. One divine soul pill was hard to find, let alone a hundred.

Now, there were actually a hundred!

At this moment, in one of the private rooms on the fourth floor, everyone became extremely excited when they heard about the divine soul pill. They were not this shocked when the Hetu and Luoshu Diagram appeared.

“This is great! It’s divine soul pills, and there are so many of them! Doesn’t this mean that we can save grand elder?”

“We spent a lot of effort looking for it, but I did not expect we find it here. We don’t need the Hetu and Luoshu Diagram, but we must get the divine soul pill.”

These people’s weapons were all swords, and their auras were sharp, like the cold unsheathed swords. They were the disciples of the Sword Sect, one of the seven great sects.

They seemed to have thought of something and looked worried. “But we don’t have enough spirit stones. I’m afraid we can’t buy all the divine soul pills.”

“Who cares? We have to buy as many as we can. It’s better than nothing.”

Grand elder of Sword Sect was powerful, but he was injured in an accident. His injury was not easy to cure and needed a divine soul pill.

Sword Sect had been searching all over the place for the past few days, and they had barely managed to find one. However, their grand elder’s injuries were too severe. One pill was not enough. Now that they had such a good opportunity, how could they possibly give it up?

“10,000 upper-grade spirit stones!”

“15,000 upper-grade spirit stones!”

“16,000 upper-grade spirit stones!”

…

Soon, the price of the divine soul pills rose to 20,000 upper-grade spirit stones for one. It was obvious that the demand for divine soul stones was quite high. If one wanted to buy 100 divine soul stones, it would cost two million upper-grade spirit stones.

The popularity of the Sword Sect was at its peak. Whenever they called out a price, someone would raise it. It felt like they were deliberately going against them.

“Everyone, although the divine soul pill is precious, it doesn’t have many uses. Why don’t you give our Sword Sect some face here? Why do you have to compete with us?”

The elder of the Sword Sect spoke, and all the private rooms on the fourth floor could hear him.

Soon, a deep voice came from the next room, “I was wondering who it was, so it’s the sword master. Sorry, the divine soul pill is not only useful to you but also to us.”

The expressions of the people from the Sword Sect changed slightly. This voice was extremely familiar. It was the one who had been bidding non-stop. It seemed that only one of the seven great sects would have the courage and ability to do so.

In the end, the price of the divine soul pill had increased to 50,000 for one. Sword Sect had clenched their teeth and bought 30 pills. They could not afford the rest of them, so they could only watch the other sects divide them up.

After the auction ended, most people in the hall had left. However, people were still talking about the Hetu and Luoshu Diagram and the 100 divine soul pills.

It probably wouldn’t take more than the next day for the news to spread throughout Jingdu.

The people on the second and third floors didn’t move, as if they were waiting for something.

Finally, someone walked out of one of the private rooms on the fourth floor. It was the Yaochi Holy Land. “I wonder which sect bought the Hetu and Luoshu Diagram.”

“Dao Seeking Sect also wants to know this question.”

Then, someone else walked out.

“I think only people from the seven great sects can afford 800,000 supreme-grade spirit stones. Who has such a bold mind?”

Other than Sword Sect, the people from the six great sects were here. It included Misty Illusory Manor, Dao Seeking Sect, Yaochi Holy Land, Heaven Sect, and Infinity Sect.

Everyone looked at each other. The elder of the Infinity Sect put on a fake smile and said, “It seems that the Sword Sect had bought the Hetu and Luoshu Diagram.”

Sword Sect’s strength could be considered as one of the tops among the seven great sects, but its foundation was not as deep as the other sects. The people of the Sword Sect were obsessed with practicing the sword and seeking supremacy way of the sword, so they did not care so much.

It could be said that the higher their combat strength was, the more spirit stones they had. After all, they only had swords in their eyes and nothing else.

Then, someone bid for the Hetu and Luoshu Diagram at a high price. It was like the sun rising from the west. Where did they get so many spirit stones?

“Sword Sect, didn’t you claim you could defeat everything with your swords? ” Someone said sarcastically, “Why are you so interested in the Hetu and Luoshu Diagram now? ”

“It had the secret of immortal ascension. Who wouldn’t be tempted? I think those words about breaking everything with one sword were just nonsense. In the end, they still need to rely on external forces.”

“Are you guys done?”

With a furious roar, the sword master and the others kicked open the door of the private room. If they had not fought in the auction, they would have used their swords instead of their feet.

Not only did he fail to get the divine soul pills, but he was also slandered. The disciples of the Sword Sect glared at the others and said, “If you have something to say, say it in front of us. Don’t talk about it behind our backs.”

“We did want to get the Hetu and Luoshu Diagram, but how do we have enough spirit stones.”

When the people from the other sects heard this, they couldn’t help but be surprised. “What? Didn’t you guys bid for the Hetu and Luoshu Diagram?”

The people from Sword Sect said unhappily, “Do you think we have that much money? That’s 800,000 supreme-grade spirit stones!”
