Chapter 407: I Am Leaving

“210,000,000 Liberal Points going twice…” Xing Sui continued to call for the last three times.

Immortal Emperor Great Sovereignty’s facial expression had calmed down. 210,000,000 Liberal Points was an extremely large sum even for the Heavenly Cloud Dao. It was probably impossible for the sect to be able to procure this massive sum of high-grade immortal crystals.

However, since this had already happened, he did not feel much fear. He was actually too lazy to even provoke Di Jiu. A cultivator who was able to grasp how he bid would definitely not be a fool, unlike the frivolous image he had portrayed when it came to his bidding habits. Provoking Di Jiu would be a meaningless act that would not benefit him.

Even though he was an Immortal Emperor and the Sect Master of one of the Five Major Immortal Sects of the Demonic Clothing Immortal Continent, this amount of immortal crystals was a large sum. However, he was still able to afford it.

“210,000,000 Liberal Points going thrice… Congratulations to this guest for obtaining the Spirit Immolation escape technique for 210,000,000…” Xing Sui slammed the mallet to seal the deal.

The cultivators participating in this auction knew very well that there was something up with this price.

Immortal Emperor Great Sovereignty took out a ring and passed it to a cultivator beside him. “Pass this to the auction house and let them estimate the price of the item inside. Then, use it as collateral for the Spirit Immolation escape technique.”

“Okay.” The cultivator took the ring and swiftly left.

Xing Sui was not concerned about whether Immortal Emperor Great Sovereignty would be able to produce the 210,000,000 Liberal Points. She took out a jade bottle and lifted it. “The next auction item is a bottle of Agama True Glazed Water, which many people might not have heard of before. That does not matter, for all you need to know is that this is a treasure that can be used to prolong one’s life.”

“The Agama True Glazed Water is different from other life-prolonging treasures. It does not extend your lifespan. Instead, it revitalizes your life-force. The Agama True Glazed Water could be used to replenish one’s life-force should their life-force be almost completely lost. Remember, it must be used on a cultivator. This is because the Agama True Glazed Water contains Dao rune laws. It is especially effective when it is used to replenish life-force that has been expunged by the five elements…”

Di Jiu sat up straight when he heard this, as he had thought that he would need to continue waiting for a day or two. He did not expect that the Agama True Glazed Water would appear so fast. He had already decided to leave immediately after he purchased the Agama True Glazed Water. There were still many items he wanted to buy in the latter part of the auction, but he could not afford to continue wasting his time here.

There was this looming sense of danger that made him feel extreme discomfort. He did not want to continue waiting for the Saber Dao supernormal ability and the Eclipse Fleabane Immortal Fruit that he desperately needed.

“The Agama True Glazed Water has appeared only a few times. To date, it has appeared no more than three times. This means that if this opportunity is missed, there is no way of knowing when you could purchase it again. The starting bid for the Agama True Glazed Water is 12,000,000 Liberal Points. Each incremental bid should be more than 1,000,000 Liberal Points.” Xing Sui placed the jade bottle she was holding onto the auction desk in front of her.

A short while later, the bid on the massive bidding display panel changed to 20,000,000 Liberal Points.

Di Jiu sighed, as he had not called that bid. It seemed that he was not the only one who coveted the Agama True Glazed Water.

He possessed sufficient Liberal Points, but he would have to offend another person.

“23,000,000 Liberal Points!”

“25,000,000 Liberal Points!”

The price of the Agama True Glazed Water started to soar exponentially. Di Jiu intended to slowly increase the bid so that no one knew that he was bidding. He knew very well that a lot of people would know that he was bidding the moment he did. Therefore, he chose to continue bidding in the same manner.

Huo Jianqian, who was sitting in the hall, looked excitedly at her surroundings. After all, she knew that Di Jiu would definitely bid for this item if he was participating in this auction. However, she unfortunately did not know where Di Jiu was sitting.

The price of the Agama True Glazed Water was several tens of millions. Although this might be an astronomical price for other people, it was nothing noteworthy for Di Jiu. After all, Di Jiu was selling Starry Sky Tea and possessed a lot of Liberal Points…

Huo Jianqian was suddenly struck by the thought of the cultivator who had previously crazily bid for the Time Crystal and the Zenith Divine Metal. This cultivator had most likely been Di Jiu, for only he would possess and be able to spend so many Liberal Points.

Di Jiu would be in danger if the person who was threatening Immortal Emperor Great Sovereignty was truly him. At this thought, Huo Jianqian grew anxious.

She would be completely unable to help Di Jiu if he was in danger.

“50,000,000 Liberal Points!” Di Jiu increased the bid by more than 20,000,000 Liberal Points.

“Here we go again,” thought everyone present at the auction. Only the expert who had ridiculed Immortal Emperor Great Sovereignty would possess such bidding vigor.

“I offer 51,000,000 Liberal Points. My name is Peng He, and I’m begging you, my friend. This bottle of Agama True Glazed Water will be of enormous use to me,” said someone in a sincere tone.

Xing Sui hesitated. Before she could speak, however, an expert’s voice was heard in the auction hall. “Please leave the auction venue if you wish to continue disrupting the auction.”

Di Jiu increased the bid to 60,000,000 Liberal Points without hesitation. He felt very sorry, but he could not give the Agama True Glazed Water to anyone else.

“100,000,000 Liberal Points.” Di Jiu had not expected that someone would directly increase the bid to a hundred million.

This bid had not been made by him, and he was certain that it had not been made by Peng He either. Could this be the same Immortal Emperor who had competed for the Spirit Immolation escape technique with him previously?

With this thought in mind, he increased the bid to 110,000,000 Liberal Points and said with a laugh, “This friend is so generous that he directly bid a hundred million. I’m not so generous. Hence, I can only increase the bid by 10,000,000 Liberal Points.”

Immortal Emperor Great Sovereignty looked at the bid of 110,000,000 indicated on the bidding panel. He really wanted to bid 200,000,000 Liberal Points but he was worried that Di Jiu would stop bidding again after he called that bid. Previously, when purchasing the Spirit Immolation escape technique, he had used up almost all his savings. If the same incident happened once again, he would have to sell the treasure he was saving as his trump card.

He had gotten some revenge by making the other party pay an extra 50,000,000 Liberal Points.

“110,000,000 Liberal Points going once. Is there a higher bid?” Xing Sui started to call for the last three times.

In truth, Di Jiu did not really care. If Immortal Emperor Great Sovereignty continued to bid, he would increase the bid without hesitation. He would not give up on the Agama True Glazed Water even though he was well aware that he was falling into a trap.

Unfortunately, Immortal Emperor Great Sovereignty did not know this. After all, paying 110,000,000 for a bottle of Agama True Glazed Water was ridiculous. The actual price of the Agama True Glazed Water should be around 20,000,000 Liberal Points.

“110,000,000 Liberal Points going twice… 110,000,000 Liberal Points going trice… Congratulations on obtaining the Agama True Glazed Water!” A trading image appeared in front of Di Jiu following Xing Sui’s words.

Di Jiu swiftly swiped his identification card to pay 110,000,000 Liberal Points and the Agama True Glazed Water appeared in front of him.

Excited, Di Jiu put the Agama True Glazed Water away and stood up. He could finally leave this place.

Meanwhile, Huo Jianqian also came to a realization. She was certain that the person who had ridiculed Immortal Emperor Great Sovereignty was indeed Di Jiu. While she was silently impressed by Di Jiu, she wondered how Di Jiu would leave this place. He would definitely be targeted, no matter what time he left. She hoped that Di Jiu knew this as well.

Di Jiu had experienced many things, which was why he knew that he would constantly be under other people’s watch. Everyone would know that he was leaving the moment he opened the door to this room.

Di Jiu truly did not care about Immortal Emperor Great Sovereignty, as the latter would overthink the situation despite his strength. He was worried about Peng He because, based on the latter’s tone, he was in desperate need of the Agama True Glazed Water as well.

“I gained a lot during this auction, but I’m leaving now. If the arrogant fella who antagonized me earlier wishes to fight with me, I will wait for him at the entrance of the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City’s gates for half an hour. If you do not come within 30 minutes, scram.” With a boisterous laugh, Di Jiu took out and swallowed a Meridian-Splitting Pill. Then, he opened the door and walked out of the auction house unhurriedly.

“He’s so powerful,” thought all the cultivators present at the auction.

A weakling would not have dared to divulge that they were leaving.

With a snort, Immortal Emperor Great Sovereignty stood up as well. “In that case, let me see if your techniques are as formidable as your tongue.”

Di Jiu was evidently taunting him with his words. He had never intended to let Di Jiu get away. Even if he did, as the Sect Master of the Heavenly Cloud Dao, he could not reject this challenge when Di Jiu said such things.

At the moment, several other Immortal Emperors besides Immortal Emperor Great Sovereignty stood up and left the auction venue. Everyone wanted to have a share of fat prey like Di Jiu. This would be nothing noteworthy if Di Jiu was truly very powerful. However, should Di Jiu be faking his strength, everyone would definitely pounce on him. Di Jiu had at least achieved something. Many people left the auction house but no one attacked him.

“I really need the Agama True Glazed Water. Please have a chat with me for a moment…” Di Jiu had just left the auction house, when Peng He caught up with him in a hurry.

Di Jiu snorted coldly. “Let’s talk about the Agama True Glazed Water after that weakling and I end our match.”

After saying that, he rushed towards the entrance of the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City. His body appeared to be on fire. Thanks to the effect of the Meridian-Splitting Pill, the violent Immortal Essence aura was frantically increasing his cultivation level.
