Capítulo 1077: Chapter 1063: Can’t Wait Any Longer
Of the twenty-six base jade talismans, the Shuili Dan King spent a full 15 minutes examining them one by one. For some of them, after reading, the Shuili Dan King would close his eyes and ponder for a moment.
Immediately, the Shuili Dan King’s hand moved, taking out one of the base jade talismans, holding it in his hand and examining it.
This action made many martial artists’ hearts tighten sharply, with a thought flashing through their minds simultaneously: the final result is about to be revealed.
At the same instant, Leng Kang, sitting not far from Ye Zhen on the fourth floor of the Shangdan Building, suddenly turned extremely tense. Despite the tension, he was filled with excitement and anticipation, his eyes fixed firmly on the jade talisman held by the Shuili Dan King.
Everyone’s base jade talismans might differ in style, but Leng Kang recognized clearly that the one held by the Shuili Dan King was made of water jade, a specialty of their Xuanshui Palace, and was indeed his base jade talisman.
“Announce it, hurry and announce it!” Leng Kang’s urge, as he watched the Shuili Dan King holding his base jade talisman, almost turned into a shout.
Other martial artists, especially those participating in the silent auction, showed faces of disappointment.
Even Ye Zhen found it somewhat strange. Observing the actions of the Shuili Dan King and then looking at Leng Kang’s excitement, could it be that this Grand Treasure Mansion Opening Pill would really be taken by Leng Kang?
What kind of base did this guy bring out to easily beat the bases from Ye Zhen, Ou Tu, Jie Tianhe, Yang Ben, and others?
Ding!
Just then, a light noise woke everyone, letting their held breath return to calm, and shattered the dream of the Xuanshui Palace Young Palace Master, Leng Kang, on the spot!
The previously held water blue base jade talisman by the Shuili Dan King, which was Leng Kang’s base jade talisman, was directly dropped into a delicate bamboo basket under the table.
Although the bamboo basket looked exquisite, it was filled with auction waste, special packaging, jade sealing fragments, and so on.
In other words, Leng Kang’s deeply hoped-for base was the first to be discarded.
While all the bidding martial artists breathed a sigh of relief, Leng Kang, who had been slightly rising due to tension and anticipation, had his handsome face turn blue then red, looking extremely awful.
He was just thinking he might win the silent auction bid, not expecting to be the first discarded.
This face slap……
Of course, the Shuili Dan King probably did not intend any face-slapping, just a normal selection and elimination, but Leng Kang’s own extreme tension and anticipation, even standing up, turned into Leng Kang himself serving his face up to be slapped.
Courting a snub!
In an instant, Leng Kang felt so humiliated as if he had an impulse to leave with a flurry of his sleeve.
At the same time, Ye Zhen, Jie Tianhe, Yang Ben, and even the Island Master of Black Fiend Island, with a body full of death aura, Hei Tian, all began to chuckle.
The laughter made Leng Kang die from embarrassment!
The next instant, the Shuili Dan King’s action of selecting and eliminating the base jade talismans rapidly accelerated, with crisp ding ding ding sounds reverberating as one base jade talisman after another was continuously thrown into the jade basket beneath the table by the Shuili Dan King.
Seeing their base jade talismans being discarded, many displayed a trace of disappointment on their faces, clearly, their bases were not chosen by the Shuili Dan King.
In the first round, the Shuili Dan King had discarded a total of thirteen base jade talismans, and with a little more deliberation, three more base jade talismans were discarded, leaving only three base jade talismans on the auction platform at this time.
On the fourth floor of the Shangdan Building, Jie Tianhe and Ou Tu exchanged glances and suddenly laughed.
“Alliance Leader Jie, our previous agreement should still be valid, right?” Ou Tu suddenly laughed.
“Valid, if this old man eventually gets the Grand Treasure Mansion Opening Pill, then I wouldn’t mind having a nice chat with Brother Ou!” said Jie Tianhe.
“That would be ideal!”
“Brother Ou, of the three base jade talismans on stage, you and I each have one, but I wonder whose handiwork the other base is? The three base jade talismans might not necessarily fall into your hands or mine?” Jie Tianhe suddenly inquired.
Not only Jie Tianhe, but all the other martial artists in the Shangdan Building were equally curious about whose the third base jade talisman belonged to?
Those present were all clever people, scanning the faces of the more than twenty martial artists qualified to bid, and immediately had a result.
Ye Zhen!
Sea Suppression Great Saint Ye Zhen!
Among the dozen or so martial artists qualified to bid, except for Jie Tianhe and Ou Tu, only Ye Zhen remained, staring eagerly at the three base jade talismans.
Clearly, among those three base jade talismans, one belonged to Ye Zhen.
“I didn’t expect not only would the Sea Suppression Great Saint have extensive wealth, but also an exceptionally rich collection that even attracted the attention of King Peng Dan,” Jie Tianhe had already turned his gaze toward Ye Zhen.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that Jie Tianhe and Ye Zhen have long been at odds, but in the eyes of these deeply scheming people, anger passes in an instant, and everything is calculated in their hearts.
Backstabbing with a smile on their face is absolutely no difficulty for them.
“I wouldn’t say so, but compared to your Stars Tower and Dragon Alliance, our Heavenly Wing Island’s collection is indeed plentiful.” A single sentence which made the Sea-Breaking Great Saint secretly give a thumbs-up to Ye Zhen.
In the Sea-Breaking Great Saint’s view, Ye Zhen was genuinely regarding their Sky Wing Four Saints as a single entity when he said such words.
This was also what the three brothers wanted to see the most.
“Hehe…!” Jie Tianhe’s expression slightly froze.
With Jie Tianhe’s cunning and shrewd nature, every word is carefully considered. His original intention was to entice numerous strong figures to covet Ye Zhen’s wealth, laying the groundwork for his subsequent plans.
Unexpectedly, with just one sentence, Ye Zhen not only rendered his groundwork ineffective but also added some obstacles to his subsequent plans.
However, at this moment, most people’s attention was focused on Shuili Dan King’s actions.
On the auction platform, Shuili Dan King was deeply fond of every one of the three base jade talismans, picking up and putting down each one repeatedly, clearly showing great interest.
Yet, he could only choose one among them.
Shuili Dan King wished two more Grand Treasure Mansion Opening Pills could fly out at this moment so he could collect all three. For a pill-obsessed king, everything in these three base jade talismans was too tempting.
However, speaking practically, even if there were three Grand Treasure Mansion Opening Pills, whether they could fetch such a price is another question.
The action of picking up and putting down continued for half a quarter-hour.
Suddenly, Shuili Dan King picked up a jade talisman, holding it firmly in hand.
The moment he picked up this jade talisman, Ye Zhen’s expression suddenly tightened because it was the base jade talisman he had sent in.
Almost simultaneously, Leader of the Dragon Alliance Jie Tianhe and Three Stars Building’s Kui Fox Star Otu both showed signs of joy, subconsciously exchanged glances, giving a strong impression of confirming the transaction.
The smile on Otu’s face became more evident.
Because based on Shuili Dan King’s previous moves, picking up Ye Zhen’s base jade talisman meant he would eliminate Ye Zhen’s base jade talisman.
Between the remaining two base jade talismans, choosing one would mean the owner of the Grand Treasure Mansion Opening Pill would be either Jie Tianhe or Otu.
According to the previous implicit agreement, as long as he paid a certain price, Jie Tianhe would transfer it to the urgently needing Otu.
In other words, regardless, Three Stars Building’s Kui Fox Star Otu would be the final owner of this Grand Treasure Mansion Opening Pill.
With the Grand Treasure Mansion Opening Pill, Otu’s talented grandson could save at least thirty years of arduous cultivation, enhancing his chances of replacing Otu’s current position in a hundred years.
At that time, the direct bloodline of Otu’s branch will continue to firmly hold the power of the Ou Family instead of losing power.
This is Otu’s genuine reason for happiness.
Jie Tianhe’s joy is more straightforward as he understands Otu’s great need for this Grand Treasure Mansion Opening Pill. If Shuili Dan King chooses his base, although he won’t extort too much from Three Stars Building, he can establish a more intimate partnership.
Especially now, with the Dragon Alliance’s influence rapidly declining under the current enemy threat.
One could say both men were delighted.
However, this smile lasted only for two breaths of time.
After holding Ye Zhen’s base jade talisman in hand, Shuili Dan King did not immediately discard it. Instead, after inspecting it for several breaths, he raised it high towards all directions.
“Ladies and gentlemen, this is the base chosen by me in today’s secret auction!”
After speaking, Shuili Dan King shook the base jade talisman in his hand towards Jie Tianhe and Otu, saying, “Brother Jie, Brother Ou, I’m really sorry!
The bases you both sent are very generous, and I really liked them. However, the base sent by Sea Suppression Great Saint is unique, the only one of its kind in the world. Considering all factors, I can only choose Sea Suppression Great Saint’s base. I hope you both understand!”
“Hehe, it’s all based on the king’s preference, to gain is my fortune, to lose is my fate!”
Although Jie Tianhe and Otu claimed not to mind, their expressions were as ugly as could be.
Especially under the circumstances of extreme displeasure, having to force a smile is indescribably uncomfortable.
No choice, at their level, life sometimes feels very burdensome.
Unlike Ye Zhen, who can laugh and curse freely as he wishes!
At the same moment, a confident smile appeared at the corner of Ye Zhen’s mouth, verifying his final choice was indeed correct.
He indeed sent something Shuili Dan King liked most, yet for Ye Zhen, it was akin to trash, merely a decoration.
Sometimes, exchanging the most useless item for a treasure immensely beneficial to oneself is an unparalleled achievement.
“Everyone, today’s pill auction event ends here. In the backstage, I’ve prepared some light refreshments and drinks; you’re all welcome! Martial Artist friends who’ve obtained treasures today can settle with my grand steward Chen Pi!”
At this point, Shuili Dan King’s voice paused slightly, looking around, “Additionally, the top three martial artists in Spirit Medicine Points, and fellow Dao Entrance Realm brothers, please gather at hour of Chen tomorrow at my Shuili Residence, then I’ll announce the matter of that special opportunity!”
Upon hearing these words, the previously disheartened Leng Kang, Green Robe Dragon King Yuh Changkong, and others instantly became highly expectant and spirited!
Even Jie Tianhe, Otu, and Yang Ben showed continuous brilliance in their eyes.
Evidently, the special opportunity mentioned by Shuili Dan King holds great attraction for them.
Almost as the words fell, Shuili Dan King flew directly toward Ye Zhen’s seat, eagerly grabbed Ye Zhen’s hand, and said, “Ye, quickly bring out your alchemy furnace, I can’t wait any longer!” (To be continued.
