The light and temperature of the little sun in Yan Xiao's hand were not very high, but it gave people an incomparable sense of sacredness and majesty.
Looking at it, it seems as if you can see a big sun rising slowly into the sky after a long dark night, driving away all evil spirits.
Zhu Ming Chengye was born from the Qi of heaven and earth when night and sun alternated at dawn. Following the will of heaven and earth, he possessed the power to exorcise demons and burn away evil spirits with the scorching sun.
The two words Zhu Ming mean big sun, which is the lower level of the great sun’s true flame energy. It is ranked in the middle among many of the energy of heaven and earth, and its level is far higher than the morning glow purple energy.
More importantly, Zhu Ming Chengye himself possesses a hint of the concept of time, which is rare among all the Qi of Heaven and Earth. Apart from Zhu Ming Chengye, only a few top-level Qi of Heaven and Earth involve the level of time.
The only pity is that due to Zhu Ming Chengye’s own low rank, the concept of time contained in this trace is too weak, so no one can control it.
Even the True Lord Hedao could only barely use Zhu Ming Cheng Ye to comprehend the way of time, and it was difficult to even get started.
But even so, it still does not diminish the value of Zhu Mingchengye himself.
Shen Yuan stared at Zhu Ming Cheng Ye in Yan Xiao's hand, and his eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly.
In fact, it was not just Shen Yuan. Everyone in the entire trade fair turned their eyes to the big sun in the guard post, trying to glimpse its true appearance behind the strange phenomenon.
"ah!!!"
A shrill wail sounded from the trade fair hall below. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a cultivator covering his eyes with his hands. Streaks of blood slowly flowed out from the place where his hands were covering his eyes.
Seeing this, Yan Xiao waved his sleeves, and the little sun in his hand was stored in the storage ring. Then he spoke seriously:
"Zhu Ming Cheng Ye is the Qi of heaven and earth born from heaven and earth. This manifestation of the Great Sun is just a secret method to restrict his true body. If you rashly use your eyes to spy on Zhu Ming Cheng Ye's true nature without sufficient cultivation, you will definitely be hurt by him."
"Come, take this guest down for treatment."
Immediately, a disciple from Laojun Mountain took the person away, and then Yan Xiao looked at everyone in the trading venue with a smile on his face.
"I think everyone has already known about this last auction item."
"Now auctioning the Qi of Heaven and Earth Zhu Ming Cheng Ye, the starting price is 10,000 Spiritual Stones!"
Although this price is enough to discourage most people, no one thinks that the starting price is too high. Many people even think that this starting price is a bit too low compared to Zhu Mingchengye's own value.
Finally, after a long silence, a clear female voice was heard from the Cainu Temple on the second floor.
"Twelve thousand spirit stones!"
The moment the words fell, there were immediate counter-arguments.
"Thirteen thousand spirit stones!"
"Fifteen thousand spirit stones!"
Zhu Mingchengye's initial bidding enthusiasm completely crushed all the previous things. The major sects on the second floor began to compete vigorously. Even the Zhennan Marquis Mansion, which had never spoken before, made several bids in succession.
The reason is simple: the Qi of heaven and earth is too precious. Even if Zhu Ming Chengye does not have the corresponding secret inheritance of the sect, it can still attract most people.
The Qi of Heaven and Earth not only contains all kinds of magical powers, but more importantly, if one can refine a kind of Qi of Heaven and Earth in the Qi training realm, one will gain potential far beyond that of the same realm, and may even stimulate innate magical powers.
"Thirty thousand spirit stones!"
As the number of spirit stones rose to 30,000, some sects began to choose to withdraw after careful consideration.
There are indeed some spirit stones left in the blessed lands of many sects, but there are not many left. The greatest value of these spirit stones should be to buy as many important spiritual objects as possible to revive the sect’s ancestors in this era when the spiritual energy tide has not yet returned to its peak.
As for the Qi of Heaven and Earth, although it is precious, it is not as good as those of the sect's real masters who have suppressed their foundation.
"Thirty-six thousand spirit stones!"
The head of the Yuezhou Yang family shouted out this number of spirit stones with trembling hands. When he heard that the offer in the box on the third floor easily exceeded this number, he heaved a long sigh and regained his composure.
The Yang family of Yuezhou is the overlord of one side. As soon as the spiritual energy tide returned, they occupied several small spiritual stone mines for mining. But even so, 36,000 spiritual stones are all the spiritual stone stocks currently in the entire Yang family.
He used the strength of his entire clan to try to bid for the Qi of Heaven and Earth, attempting to use the Qi of Heaven and Earth to nurture a genius who could enter the Qi training realm. However, the price was far from reaching the upper limit of the price of the Qi of Heaven and Earth.
Being easily surpassed by others actually made him feel relieved. At least he didn't have to bet the fate of the entire clan on a genius.
The private rooms on the second floor all chose to give up, leaving only the third floor where the Zhennan Marquis Mansion and the Cangzhou Sun Family were bidding against each other.
The Marquis of Zhennan had just led the Zhennan Army and fought a great battle with the Yunfu monsters. Naturally, it was impossible for him to risk his life and step into the Yunfu mountains.
The person who came to the trade fair this time was the chief steward of the Zhennan Marquis Mansion.
"Forty-three thousand two hundred spirit stones."
After quoting a price again, the butler looked towards the No. 4 box and couldn't help but frowning.
Cangzhou is also one of the prefectures and counties ruled by Marquis Zhennan. However, because Cangzhou has had many waters since ancient times, and the Jidu Dragon Palace, one of the Four Du Dragon Palaces, is located in Cangzhou, the control of Marquis Zhennan's Mansion over Cangzhou is not strong.
The Sun family was originally just a small family in Cangzhou. Because Sun Lanyu established a relationship with the Jidu Dragon Palace, he rose to prominence overnight. In just one month, he destroyed several large families and became the undisputed overlord of Cangzhou.
During this period, Sun Lanyu amassed a huge amount of wealth and collected countless spiritual stones, spiritual objects, skills and magical powers. Naturally, his financial resources were extremely strong.
Apart from the Imperial Observatory, which has always remained a bystander, even the Zhennan Marquisate may not be able to compare with the Sun family.
The Marquis of Zhennan is in charge of three states. The large amount of spirit stones he mines will be transported to the imperial capital. Most of the remaining spirit stones are used to support the Zhennan Army. There are not many spirit stones left that can be used for auctions.
"Forty-four thousand spirit stones!"
As expected, Sun Lanyu's offer once again exceeded that of the Zhennan Marquis Mansion.
But the butler didn't know that Sun Lanyu's eyes were also red and his face was ferocious.
Behind Sun Lanyu, a cultivator from the Sun family who is in the Qi Transformation Realm whispered:
"Young Master Lanyu, this is almost reaching the limit of our Sun family's current inventory of spirit stones. If we continue to raise the price, it is very likely to affect the operation of our Sun family's industries and the cultivation of our family disciples." "Cultivation?" Sun Lanyu looked at the Sun family cultivator who spoke with a ferocious face and slapped him directly in the face.
“You have to understand clearly that it was me, Sun Lanyu, who brought those useless people to their current positions, and it was me who provided them with the favorable training environment they have now.
Now I want to use the spirit stones I robbed to buy the treasures I need for cultivation. What does it have to do with those rubbish?"
“From today on, the cultivation resources of everyone in the family will be reduced to one-third of the original amount, and all the redundant industries will be cut off.
To collect the spirit stones, I must take down Zhu Ming Cheng Ye!"
Everyone in the Sun family was silent, and someone immediately started making calls to the Sun family residence to convey Sun Lanyu's orders.
When he stopped sending those messages, Sun Lanyu felt as if his heart was bleeding.
It is true that he is crazy, but he is not a fool. He knows very well how much value these industries that are being cut off now can create for him in the future.
But being forced to this point is completely helpless.
He did rob a lot of spirit stones from other big families in Cangzhou, but a large part of them were used to purchase points in the Wen Dao Forum.
Ever since the account named Luo Yun blocked him again, Sun Lanyu has been trying every possible way to get Luo Yun's contact information.
He tried replying to posts, offering rewards, and even breaking into the Imperial Observatory, but still couldn't find any useful information.
In desperation, Sun Lanyu could only do the same thing he did the first time he was blocked by Luo Yun, transferring points to the other party and praying for the block to be unblocked.
In recent times, Sun Lanyu has been frantically purchasing points from the Wendao Forum, and has received more than 100,000 points in total.
Even the price of points in the black market quickly climbed three times due to Sun Lanyu's acquisition.
Even though he transferred so many points to Luo Yun, he still didn't get a reply from the other party. Instead, he lost a lot of spirit stones.
When he thought of this, Sun Lanyu felt extremely angry and wished he could find that guy named Luo Yun and eat him alive.
"You'd better pray that I don't find out your true identity!"
"Fifty-five thousand spirit stones!"
Sun Lanyu once again surpassed the offer from the Zhennan Marquisate. After pondering for a long time, the chief steward sighed and shook his head and did not make any further offers.
Sun Lanyu clenched his hands, looked at Yan Xiao excitedly and said loudly:
"No one will continue to bid at this price, so hurry up and hammer down!"
Yan Xiao's eyes swept across the No. 5 box, and then he slowly said:
"Fifty-five thousand spirit stones at a time!"
"Fifty-five thousand spirit stones twice!"
"Eighty thousand spirit stones!"
In box number five, a voice interrupted Yan Xiao's counting.
As soon as this number came out, everyone in the audience felt suffocated.
Sun Lanyu, whose face was full of excitement, suddenly turned red, as if a big hand was strangling his neck.
"Eighty thousand spirit stones, how can you, eighty thousand spirit stones!"
"I want to report him, but he can't even come up with 80,000 spirit stones!"
Yan Xiao glanced at Sun Lanyu indifferently and said in a cold voice: "This guest can indeed take out 80,000 spirit stones. Please don't disrupt the order of the auction."
This statement caused an uproar.
Sun Lanyu's expression was distorted. He stared at the No. 5 box and said loudly:
"I am working for Jidu Dragon Palace. You have to think clearly whether you can offend Jidu Dragon Palace!"
Yan Xiao's expression instantly exploded with rage: "Sun Lanyu! Do you really think that Laojun Mountain dare not kill you?"
In the No. 5 box, Shen Yuan listened to Sun Lanyu's angry threats and smiled calmly:
"Jidu Dragon Palace can hardly protect itself, how can it still stand up for a dog like you?"
The trading venue was dead silent. No one would have thought that Shen Yuan could be so contemptuous of Jidu Dragon Palace in public.
Everyone in the Tianjiao Club looked at Box No. 5 as if they were madmen.
"He's finished!"
This thought emerged in everyone's mind.
Yan Xiao was also in shock, and then he quickly dropped the hammer and announced loudly:
"Zhu Mingchengye was photographed by the guest in the No. 5 box of Tianzi!"
As he spoke, the dazzling little sun appeared in Yan Xiao's hand again.
Before Yan Xiao could make any move, the glass of the No. 1 box, which had been silent all this time, suddenly shattered.
An elegant white deer stepped on the air, walked slowly from the box to the high platform in the center of the hall, opened its mouth wide and swallowed Zhu Ming Chengye into its stomach.
Then, an undisguised atmosphere swept across the entire trading venue, and a huge sense of oppression lingered in everyone's heart.
Someone in the crowd exclaimed in horror:
"The Qi-training demon!"
