Chapter 3789: Nine Wondrous Stones Appear, Hongmeng Demon Stone, Shanhe Wondrous Stone
The face beneath the Hongmeng mask was extremely unsightly, trembling slightly from anger.
Jun Xiaoyao was simply playing with him.
They said they were bidding for the Hongmeng Fruit, but now they were directly giving up.
Everyone present also realized this.
They felt that, given Jun Xiaoyao's wealth, he certainly wouldn't say he couldn't afford it.
Looking at it this way, it seemed like he was simply tricking that masked man.
After all, the price he was paying now was definitely much higher than before.
For a moment, many people present looked at Hongmeng with pity.
Some even cast mocking glances, as if looking at a gullible fool.
Hongmeng's face turned a dark bluish-black.
The treasure he had just taken out to exchange, even for him, felt painfully costly.
It was something he found by relying on his fortune in an extremely dangerous imperial tomb.
Originally, he didn't need to take it out, but because of Jun Xiaoyao, he suffered a huge loss.
This caused Hongmeng's state of mind to ripple.
It can be said that since being expelled from the Zigong Clan.
Hongmeng had never experienced such emotional fluctuations.
At this moment, inside the Hongmeng Golden Pagoda, Fu Qianxue's voice also sounded.
"Disciple, don't be angry; as long as you refine this fruit, you should be able to undergo an initial transformation."
As long as you can transform into a Hongmeng Dao Body, any price paid is worth it.
Upon hearing this, Hongmeng's face eased slightly.
Not bad.
As long as it strengthens his power, step by step advancing toward the Hongmeng Dao Body.
Then, he can fully control the Hongmeng Golden Pagoda.
Even Jun Xiaoyao would not be able to hinder him.
And inside the private booth.
Jun Xiaoyao smiled faintly: "I didn't expect that what should often be done by the Son of Fortune, I ended up doing instead."
At the auction, the most classic plot is for the Son of Fortune to inflate the opponent's price, then directly not bid, letting the opponent suffer a silent loss.
I didn't expect him to try it too.
Actually, if Jun Xiaoyao wanted this Hongmeng Fruit, no matter how high the price, he wouldn't care.
The reason he gave up was merely to help Hongmeng develop a bit.
After all, the Hongmeng Tree in his inner universe has not yet borne fruit, obviously lacking fertilizer.
This Hongmeng, as fertilizer, should be quite good.
It can be said that Hongmeng absolutely never expected that Jun Xiaoyao giving up the Hongmeng Fruit was actually based on such an idea.
And after the Hongmeng Fruit.
The several items presented next were also extremely rare and precious.
They had even reached sky-high prices, to the point where they couldn't be auctioned with Immortal Spirit Pills.
Various treasures were needed for exchange.
Jun Xiaoyao also bid on one or two items he was interested in, which would help increase his foundation.
This extremely lively auction was gradually drawing to a close.
But the interest of those present had not diminished.
Because next, there was still another major show.
Namely, the Nine Wondrous Stones.
A prominent figure from the Myriad Realms Merchant Association stepped onto the stage and said.
"You all must know that at every Myriad Treasures Convention, there is a treasure appraisal and source cutting segment."
"And this time, my Myriad Realms Merchant Association will naturally produce many treasured source stones for you to select."
"Even, we will produce several pieces from the treasured Nine Wondrous Stones."
"Perhaps there will be a fated person who can resonate with it, qualifying them to cut it open."
As the words fell, the atmosphere at the scene became heated and noisy once again.
The Nine Wondrous Stones are the Myriad Realms Merchant Association's treasured mysterious stones, each with an extraordinary origin.
However, these Nine Wondrous Stones are not all fixed.
In the past, some wondrous stones were cut open by people, and if other rare wondrous stones were found afterward, they would be added in.
But it can be certain that the value of these wondrous stones is not ordinary.
Precisely for this reason, at every Myriad Treasures Convention, the Myriad Realms Merchant Association uses the wondrous stones as the climax.
Next, the entire auction hall was filled with flowing formation patterns, and ripples appeared in the void.
Because these wondrous stones are not simple, possessing special qi mechanisms, so such measures are needed.
Cultivators from the Myriad Realms Merchant Association brought up some law instruments similar to ancient tripods.
Everyone's gaze turned toward them.
These wondrous stones differ from ordinary source stones, possessing special qualities.
In the past, there have even been cases where cultivators, after coming into contact with the qi mechanism of the wondrous stones, died violently.
Therefore, these wondrous stones are all sealed by various law instruments.
At this moment, several ancient cauldrons were brought up.
Although they are the Nine Great Odd Stones, the Myriad Worlds Chamber of Commerce obviously could not produce them all at once.
Each time, only a portion is taken out.
"Ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, let us begin."
The cultivators of the Myriad Worlds Chamber of Commerce began to open the first ancient cauldron.
At the moment of opening, a thick black aura surged out, filled with a dark and eerie aura.
Everyone's gaze turned toward it.
Inside the cauldron, there was a stone that was pitch black like ink all over.
Its surface occasionally flashed with eerie dark red light, as if an evil demon soul was struggling within.
Many people, upon seeing this stone for the first time, had their eyes drawn to it like iron to a magnet.
It seemed as if they could hear some demonic sound in their ears.
"Everyone, wake up!"
A powerful figure from the Myriad Worlds Chamber of Commerce suddenly shouted, instantly awakening some of the people present.
Many came to their senses, all feeling cold sweat breaking out on their backs.
It was merely a source stone, yet it made them feel as if their minds and spirits were sinking into it.
A powerful figure from the Myriad Worlds Chamber of Commerce said: "Ladies and gentlemen, this odd stone is called the Nether Abyss Demon Stone, originating from the mysterious Nether Abyss."
"This stone is quite extraordinary; it can unknowingly affect a person's mind, which is why we intend to seal it away."
"As for what exactly lies within this Nether Abyss Demon Stone, we ourselves are not clear."
"However, this stone's demonic nature is extremely profound; those with low cultivation and shallow Dao should avoid touching it lightly."
His words also caused many present to feel a jolt in their hearts and minds.
Some odd stones are extremely sinister and not something ordinary people can touch.
Yet among those present, there were still some powerful experts and masters who rose and approached the Nether Abyss Demon Stone to examine it closely.
Jun Xiaoyao also gave it a casual glance.
Although he does not specialize in source arts.
But as one who carries a treasure book, he is also somewhat skilled in appraising treasures.
Jun Xiaoyao could roughly estimate that there should not be anything of too great value inside.
Therefore, he also had little interest in it.
In the end, this source stone was auctioned off by a prominent figure of an immortal power.
However, he did not have the stone cut on the spot.
Then, as the second cauldron was opened again, within it swirled mists and rosy clouds, filling the air.
Everyone's gaze turned toward it.
Inside was indeed a source stone of considerable size.
This odd stone is truly miraculous; as it steams with mist and clouds,
it seems to manifest vast mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas.
On the surface of this odd stone, patterns of mountains, rivers, sun, moon, and stars appear and disappear faintly, exuding an ancient and grand aura.
This odd stone is clearly unusual to anyone with discernment.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this odd stone is called the Mountain River Odd Stone, and it is also extremely rare."
"Although we have not cut it open, according to the judgment of our source masters in the Chamber of Commerce,
the contents within should not be of low value, so accordingly, those who wish to bid on it will have to pay a considerable price."
These odd stones are not simply things that can be measured by Immortal Spirit Pills.
They require various treasures for exchange.
And when this Mountain River Odd Stone appeared, Jun Xiaoyao's eyes rarely showed a hint of brightness.
As for this Mountain River Odd Stone, he did have a bit of interest.
Perhaps there is something useful for him within it.
