Chapter 128 Auction
"It is said that someone discovered a spiritual stone vein in the northern part of Xuanyu, but when the major forces rushed there, they found that the vein had already been emptied out?"
Not long after Su Nancheng left, everyone started chatting again, talking about the spirit stone mines.
Ji Chen was drinking alone, and no one knew that he had pocketed the entire vein of minerals by himself.
And it was not just the spirit stone veins, Ji Chen also obtained a large amount of earth spirit milk under the ground.
"I had heard about this before I came here. Several elders of my Ye family had arrived at the mining area and started an investigation. They finally estimated that, if there are no accidents, the mineral vein will contain at least nearly 10 billion spirit stones." Ye Yunge said.
"Ten billions?"
When these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked.
Even with Jiang Ning's great composure, he couldn't help but be moved.
The Jiang family is an ancient imperial family. Compared with a holy family like the Ye family, their foundation is much stronger.
But even for the Jiang family, asking them to take out 10 billion spirit stones at one time is simply a fantasy.
By scraping together money from here and there, perhaps 10 billion could be raised, but 10 billion is absolutely impossible.
From this, we can imagine how huge a number 10 billion spirit stones is.
In the eyes of many people, for an ancient family, tens of billions or hundreds of billions of spirit stones do not seem to be a lot, and perhaps they can really come up with it if they grit their teeth.
But this is not the case.
The larger the clan is, the more astonishing the number of spirit stones its members need to consume in their daily practice will be, far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Therefore, it is almost impossible for ancient families like the Jiang family and the Ye family to have too many spirit stone reserves.
"That's hundreds of billions of spirit stones. I don't know which lucky guy it fell into. If I had so many spirit stones, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to spend them all in ten lifetimes." Liang Shengyun said with some envy.
"Given Brother Liang's status, you don't seem like someone who is short of spirit stones or flowers, right?" Ji Chen asked suddenly.
"That's true, but who would complain that they have too many spirit stones?" Liang Shengyun said.
"It is said that these 10 billion spirit stones may have fallen into the hands of Kunlun, because someone has seen the Holy Maiden of Kunlun appear there." Someone suddenly said this.
Hearing such words, Ji Chen couldn't help but feel ashamed.
After all, he was the only one who knew that he was the one who obtained those spirit stones, but now Kunlun had to take the blame for nothing.
But then again, he had explored that mountain range with the Kunlun Saint before. He wondered if the other party would suspect him?
If this is true, it could become a hidden danger.
Murder?
impossible.
That is the Holy Maiden of Kunlun.
The first thing to consider is whether or not you can defeat the other party. Even if you can, once the matter is exposed, what awaits you will surely be Kunlun’s endless pursuit, and you will no longer have a place to stand in the entire Eastern Wilderness.
This is the deterrent power of an ancient holy land.
For thousands of years, no one has ever dared to kill the heir of such a force, because that would be tantamount to declaring war on a holy land, with disastrous consequences.
It is said that a similar thing actually happened tens of thousands of years ago.
Eventually, the situation got out of control and the two holy places went to war, causing endless waves throughout the Eastern Wilderness. Countless forces were affected and could hardly protect themselves.
From then on, an agreement was reached between the major forces and the ancient families. In order to prevent chaos in the Eastern Wilderness again, the saints would no longer take action.
Therefore, since ancient times, the world has not seen the methods of a saint for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.
No one can tell whether the times have changed and the ancient saints of the past have all died, or whether they are still alive but have not taken action.
According to legend, in some ancient holy places or ancient families, there are still some saints in their twilight years.
……
Late at night.
The gathering in Ninghai Pavilion dispersed and everyone left one after another.
Ji Chen also returned to Haohan Building.
In the room, he sat cross-legged and took out a large amount of spirit stones and earth spirit milk to practice.
Until the next morning, when Ji Chen woke up from his practice, he could feel that his strength had improved a lot.
"Dong dong dong..."
Just when Ji Chen was thinking about continuing his practice, someone suddenly knocked on the door.
"Brother Ji, are you there?" From the voice, the person coming was Liang Shengyun.
It was as if this guy was stuck to him, and Ji Chen couldn't get rid of him no matter what.
"What's up?"
Ji Chen opened the door and looked at the other person curiously.
"What do you mean, is there something wrong?"
Liang Shengyun was startled. "Didn't we agree last night that we would go to Tianxiangfang together today? Did you forget about it, Brother Ji?"
"When did you agree on this?"
Ji Chen was speechless, "If you want to go, go by yourself. I'm not interested. I still have to practice."
"You have to combine work with rest, right? You can't just bury your head in cultivation, Brother Ji. I heard that Tianxiangfang has several top performers today..."
Without waiting for Liang Shengyun to finish speaking, Ji Chen simply closed the door, too lazy to continue paying attention.
"Okay, then I will go and scout the way for Brother Ji today, and then come to see you in the evening." Outside the door, Liang Shengyun left this sentence and finally left.
In the room, Ji Chen didn't think much about it. He quickly adjusted his mentality and continued to practice.
time flies.
In the blink of an eye, the day passed.
Night falls again.
Liang Shengyun actually came again.
Ji Chen simply closed the door and ignored it.
But then Liang Shengyun said, "Brother Ji, I'm not here to ask you to go to Tianxiangfang together. There seems to be an auction in the city tonight. It's very lively. Many big shots are going there. It is said that there will be some rare and valuable items to be auctioned. How about we go and join in the fun?"
"auctions?"
Hearing this, Ji Chen narrowed his eyes slightly.
Then he opened the door and glanced at Liang Shengyun, "What are these things?"
“I don’t know either, but people from the Jiang family, the Ye family and several holy places were there. The fact that these big forces were alarmed shows that there must be extraordinary things at the auction.” Liang Shengyun said.
"Oh?"
Ji Chen touched his chin. If it was just an ordinary auction, it would probably not be able to attract so many people from top forces.
Perhaps it is true as Liang Shengyun said, something amazing will be auctioned at tonight's auction.
If it were in the past, he might have just listened for fun, but now it is different. He has tens of billions of spirit stones on him. Such an auction is indeed worth going to see. Maybe he can see something at the auction that can help his cultivation.
