Ninth In the World

Di Jiu truly believed that, if one ring had already been found on the Fairy Planet, a second ring would appear.

The next auction item was a long spear from the Fairy Planet. Di Jiu, who remained completely uninterested, took out the second jade slip to look at it instead.

The second jade slip contained an introduction to a sect called the Crimson Sea Array Sect and all the essential information one needed to know when they entered it. This included information on monthly missions, sect contribution, sect rules for outer sect disciples, and more.

Di Jiu pushed the jade slip carelessly aside. This information was useless to him. If he had not looked at the jade slip that introduced this language, he would not have understood anything on this jade slip anyway.

Di Jiu lifted the third jade slip to his forehead. The first line of words explained how to refine array flags for disciples of the array flag peak.

Then, there were various kinds of low-level array flag refinement techniques and some simple descriptions on how to identify the materials required for refining array flags. The contents were very detailed. There were even some diagrams added in. Although he mostly recognized the materials used for array flag refinement, this was still useless to him.

After looking at it for a long time, Di Jiu put down the jade slip in his hand. Although the first jade slip had been a pleasant surprise, the other two had basically been garbage.

The owner of the three jade slips had most likely been a new disciple of the Crimson Sea Array Sect. When the disciple had died, the three jade slips had been left at some unknown place until the batch of people who had entered the Fairy Planet had obtained them.

According to Dai He, the jade slips and the ring had been obtained from the same place. Di Jiu found this suspicious. Based on his understanding of cultivation, storage rings were high-grade items. Where could a new disciple obtain a storage ring, when he most likely did not even own a storage bag?

Di Jiu did not want to waste any time. He had already decided to spend all of his money quickly so he could use a few Spirit Stones to get to the Fairy Planet.

“50 billion!” Thanks to this mindset, the rate at which Di Jiu raised the bid became an unstoppable force.

No matter how displeased other people were, they would need money in order to show their displeasure.

The bidder who had raised the bid to 20 billion had wanted Di Jiu to raise the bid at a lower pace. At this rate, the auction house would be the only one benefitting. Unfortunately, Di Jiu had placed a bid of 50 billion. The moment he did, the displeased bidders had to withdraw from the bidding. All the auction guests considered Di Jiu a madman.

Dai He, on the other hand, was immensely pleased. She appreciated Di Jiu’s attitude when it came to raising a bid.

The items auctioned next included ores, information on the Fairy Planet and weapons obtained from the Fairy Planet. Di Jiu obtained all of them at high prices.

Other than Dai He, Di Jiu was the only one participating in the auction. Everyone else had become a spectator. Di Jiu had even purchased a deal on a shop on the Fairy Planet despite the fact that he had not been interested in it earlier.

The majority of the auction participators were wondering when this fella would run out of money.

Dai He held up a jade slip made of hide. “We do not know what kind of hide this jade slip is made of, but it was found at an extremely occluded location. We also failed to understand how it has remained unscathed after so many years. Top-notch experts and connate experts have examined it, but have been unable to identify the information it contains. Based on the diagrams on it, we are guessing that it’s a list of herbs.”

“We all know that cultivating and high-level herbs come hand-in-hand, so this jade slip could be a herbal diagram that could aid one’s cultivating process. The starting bid is five billion. Bids will be raised at minimum increments of 100,000,000.”

Dai He opened the jade slip made of unknown hide. Since the words recorded on it were unrecognizable, she thought she might as well show it to everyone before the start of the bidding. In any case, so long as she said that the jade slip was related to cultivating, the price would certainly soar.

When Di Jiu looked at the jade slip, his heart skipped a bit. The row of words at the top of the jade slip said clearly “The Foundation Establishment Elixir Formula”. Below this were the alchemy materials required to brew the elixir and things to take note of during the process. The appearance of the herbal ingredients required was also noted in the formula.

Dai He did say something right. The Foundation Establishment Elixir was indeed one of the most important elixirs that aided one’s cultivating process.

Although the elixir was currently useless to him, Di Jiu knew very well that he would need it in the future. The Di Family’s ancestor had left the family to search for techniques to attain Foundation Establishment. Di Jiu now knew that using the Foundation Establishment Elixir was the best way to attain Foundation Establishment. Perhaps if he obtained this formula, Di Yue would finally have a direction in his search.

Di Jiu had to obtain it. Suddenly, the screen showed a new bid of 30 billion.

Had someone else realized that this was a Foundation Establishment Elixir Formula? That was impossible. If someone had really recognized it, they would also have bid for the ring.

“50 billion!” Di Jiu raised the bid by 20 billion without hesitation.

When they saw that the bidder was Di Jiu, everyone fell silent. So long as Di Jiu bid, no one would beat him, no matter how high their bid was.

“60 billion…” Di Jiu’s bid did not subdue his opponent, who increased the bid by 10 billion this time.

Di Jiu estimated that the amount of money still left in his card was around 1.1 billion.

Thus, he raised the bid to 100 billion without hesitation. He would leave as soon as he obtained this elixir formula. Should his opponent continue to raise the bid, then he would ask the auction house to help him pool money.
