Ninth In the World

As Di Jiu had expected, no one came to the door after he killed Qian Qijiang. It actually seemed like nothing had happened on Fairy No. 7. If rumor of the 260 billion circulated on the fairy, the Heavenly Immortal Casino would close down immediately.

No one had seen Di Jiu, who had participated in the gambling event, Qian Qijiang, who owned the casino, and Feng Qi, who had gambled, after that incident.

Qian Qijiang and Feng Qi had been kicked into the sea by Di Jiu, while Di Jiu had resumed practising in his room. Although he did not use the Spirit Stone to practise, he kept training his mental power.

Two days later, his use of his mental power was more accurate and he was more satisfied with his achievements.

He knew that if he fought against a man of the same strength who knew how to use his mental power, while he did not know, he would definitely lose.

Although his mental strength could not attack yet, the ease and nature of the complementing Dharma Spells were not something a meta-condensation spell like the Quintessential Essence could compare to.

If he could build an attack with his mental power, he would be completely invincible.

For two days, Di Jiu had been trying to build such an attack. Unfortunately, by the end of those two days, he had not gained any insights or experience, let alone made any achievements.

An announcement was suddenly heard across the ship. They had arrived at the auction venue, but the auction had not started yet, so everyone would need to wait one day on the ship before attending the event.

An hour later, everyone had sat down. The entire auction venue suddenly went quiet.

A beautiful, skimpily-dressed woman walked onto the platform in the middle of the venue. Although no one was talking, she still knocked on the auction table with a hammer, making a crisp sound spread throughout the venue. Di Jiu watched the scene clearly from his cabin.

It was evident that the sound effects at the auction were really powerful.

“Distinguished guests, I am the host of this auction, Dai He. I’d like to welcome you here and encourage you to participate in the Fairy Planet Treasure Auction. This auction was jointly organized by the Earth Union and Fairy No. 1. You will see countless treasures here that have never appeared on Earth before. Although it is impossible for every guest who comes to the auction to return home with a lot of goods, I wish everyone good luck in bidding for the treasures of your choice.”

“Noise is forbidden at this auction, so anyone who makes a racket will be listed as unwelcome and be asked to leave the auction. The process will be carried out through the quotation screen and the participation button in front of the bidder. All bidders can see it on the big screen. Of course, there will inevitably be discussions during the auction, but I hope that one minute after each item is auctioned, all noise will stop. The currency used at this auction is the alliance dollar. Please take the initiative to exchange your money into alliance dollars so you can participate in the auction. The transfer bank accepted by this auction is not subject to any restrictions. Okay, the auction will start now.”

When the beautifully-dressed woman was finished, she dropped her hands and crossed them in front of her lower abdomen.

A loud music was suddenly heard and a girl holding a one-square-foot wooden box walked onto the platform. Two strong men followed her. It was blatantly obvious that they were security guards that had been hired to protect her.

When the wooden box was placed on the auction table, the two guards and the girl left.

Dai He put her hand on the wooden box and said clearly, “The first item contains a martial art cultivation skill called the Long Shadow Technique. This technique originates from the Fairy Planet. The minimum price is one million alliance dollars, and each increase must be no less than 10,000 alliance dollars. The auction shall start now.”

The wooden box was opened to reveal a very simple book. The book was one foot long and wide and only a few inches long.

Ever since Di Jiu had started practising the Major Conduit Internal Records, he’d had no interest in martial art cultivation skills. However, even though he was not interested, there were many other people who were.

In one minute, the price of the Long Shadow Technique soared to 7 million. In the end, it was bought by a bidder inside the hall for 13.21 million.

The price set by the auction was obviously too low compared to the final price.

The second item, which was quickly brought to the auction platform, was also in a wooden box.

Dai He opened the box to reveal a meter-long sword. The screen in the cabin zoomed in on the handle of the sword, which had been engraved with some weird characters. Di Jiu did not know what they meant.

He did not need to look at the screen in the cabin. His vision was good enough to allow him to see the long sword on the platform directly through the floor-to-ceiling window of his cabin.

Even though he had just laid eyes on the sword, Di Jiu could feel the killing intent coming from it. This was definitely a real weapon stained with plenty of blood.

“This is a treasure a powerful connate warrior got on the Fairy Planet. This sword was probably used by the powerful warriors who once settled on the planet. We can still feel its sharpness now. Its minimum price is 100 million, and each increase must be no less than one million…”

This was a way better item than the first one, so the auction venue immediately started bustling with excitement.

The price kept jumping up on the big screen in the middle of the auction venue.

Di Jiu did not bid. Even though he knew that this sword was good, he did not like it. He practised the Di Clan’s seven moves using a saber, so if such a saber appeared, he would buy it without hesitation.
