The Great Ruler Chapter 657

Chapter 656 - Undying Divine Leaf

Chapter 656 – Undying Divine Leaf

A sphere of light appeared on Master Mo Qing’s old hand. It was a palm-sized leaf. The leaf was dark yellow in colour and had tree patterns on it. The leaf didn’t look to be out of the ordinary. If it hadn’t been taken out by Master Mo Qing, no one would think that this item would be the legendary Undying Divine Leaf.

There’s a divine tree in this world, the Undying Divine Tree. The lifespan of that tree was unbelievable, it stood in between the heavens and earth as it underwent all sorts of tribulations and still had not perished.

A leaf would grow out from this tree every one thousand years, the Undying Divine Leaf. It was said that upon refining a Substitute Leaf from it, it could grant a miraculous effect of having another life.

This was precisely the reason why countless experts would go after the Undying Divine Leaf. After all, there were too many rare items in this world, but they only had one life.

Thus, every single time the Undying Divine Leaf appeared, countless experts would compete for it. Even if they had to pay a huge price, they wouldn’t hesitate.

Innumerable people had their gazes ablaze in the colossal auction house, many of them were drooling. If it wasn’t for their minds telling them that fighting here would spell death, they might have gone up to seize it.

Up on the auction platform, Master Mo Qing looked at the many greedy gazes as he spoke in a calm voice, “Undying Divine Leaf, starting bid, 10,000 Sovereign Spiritual Liquid.”

The moment he spoke, the entire auction went in silence. Shortly after, the intake of chilled air resounded. 10,000 Sovereign Spiritual Liquids, not an ordinary person could fork out such a huge sum.

Such a divine item was indeed… only for those wealthy.

Hearing the price, Mu Chen was stunned for a moment as he bitterly smiled.

“What shall we do?” Nine Nether’s brows were also knitted. The price had similarly exceeded her expectations. Furthermore, the crucial part was that if it was to be auctioned, the price would naturally soar.

With his remaining Sovereign Spiritual Liquids, he couldn’t handle another competition.

Mu Chen sank in silence for a brief moment as he answered, “We’ll look at the situation. If there’s really no choice, I still have the treasures that I’ve obtained from the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament, as well as the Divine Artifact. If we were to convert them, we could still get a considerable amount of Sovereign Spiritual Liquids.”

Mu Chen rubbed his forehead. He had finally experienced how vital the Sovereign Spiritual Liquids were to the Great Thousand World. Back in the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, he had no concept of it until today. Only now did he understand that it was hard to advance an inch without Sovereign Spiritual Liquids in the Great Thousand World.

Although there was a significant amount of Sovereign Spiritual Liquids in the Spiritual Condensing Bowl, the seal was too powerful. Even Nine Nether could only remove a portion of it.

Nine Nether helplessly nodded her head. She had saved up quite a sum of Sovereign Spiritual Liquids back then, but they were all used up in her tribulations. Thus, she couldn’t provide much help right now.

“You want me to contribute some stuff to exchange for Sovereign Spiritual Liquids?” Lin Jing said quietly from the side. Although Mu Chen had only used over a thousand Sovereign Spiritual Liquids to buy the Heavenly Flame Jade Chalcedony earlier, it still made her feel uneasy in her heart.

Hearing her words, Mu Chen smiled and did not give an answer.

As they spoke, the auction for the Undying Divine Leaf had begun, and just as Mu Chen had expected, the majority of those fighting for it were those heavyweights from the pavilions.

All of them should have a great power supporting them, thus having robust wealth as well. So in just less than a minute, the competition had already climaxed.

As for the bid, it had already risen to 15,000 Sovereign Spiritual Liquids. The price was already comparable to the Void Great Solar Fruit from before, and the competition had still not ended yet.

Mu Chen’s expression was calm as he watched the competition. When the price rose to such heights, there were only three competitors left. Two of them were the feminine-looking youth and the Heart Fairy Fox of the Celestial Fox Sect. The other party was a grey-robed elderly man. The elderly man had a gentle expression on his face, but there was a ferocious black skull embroidered on his sleeves.

“That person should be from the Demonic Skull Mountains, an Overlord of the Skull Continent with great power. But generally speaking, it is still slightly inferior to our Great Havenlaw Domain and the Sky Profound Palace.” Nine Nether revealed the identity of the grey-robed elderly man.

Mu Chen nodded his head. The Skylaw Continent was a major continent, after all. The forces that could be claimed as peaks in it weren’t easily comparable.

But still, the Demonic Skull Mountains wasn’t an ordinary power. Otherwise, the grey-robed elderly man wouldn’t dare to compete with the Sky Profound Palace and the Celestial Fox Sect so openly.

“17,000 Sovereign Spiritual Liquids.” When Mu Chen’s attention was on the grey-robed elder, the latter spoke out in a hoarse voice as he suddenly raised the price by 2000, attracting clicking of tongues from the auction.

“Haha, this is my last bid. If the both of you could go any higher, then I will let it go to give the Sky Profound Palace, and Fox Celestial Sect face.” The grey-robed elderly man smiled as he looked at the feminine-looking youth and Heart Fairy Fox.

Heart Fairy Fox revealed an indolent smile as she lightly shook her head, “Since Elder Gui Ku has risen your price to this height, how can I, a small woman compete? Let Young Palace Master Liu Ming of the Sky Profound Palace follow.”

When the feminine-looking youth heard her words, he instantly smiled as he proudly said, “Since that’s the case, then I’ll have to accept your invitation. I’m afraid that it’s not so easy to seize an item that my Sky Profound Palace has its eyes on.”

As he spoke, he cast a glance at Mu Chen’s direction as the depth of his eyes became filled with a chill.

“20,000 Sovereign Spiritual Liquids.” Liu Ming smiled as he looked at the Elder of the Demonic Skull Mountains.

Innumerable people inhaled a mouthful of chilled air once again. It looked like the Sky Profound Palace truly did have their eyes on the Undying Divine Leaf. They were actually willing to spend such a price to obtain it. 20,000 Sovereign Spiritual Liquids, it wasn’t even the profit of a slightly smaller force.

The instant surge of 3000 made the expression of the grey-robed elderly man to change as he sat back down. Clearly, the price of 20,000 had far exceeded his limits.

Although the Undying Divine Leaf was indeed precious, forking out 20,000 Sovereign Spiritual Liquids for it was too heart-aching.

Seeing the results of the auction, Nine Nether couldn’t help looking at Mu Chen. The latter had his eyes narrowed as chill flowed into his black pupils. But after a brief moment, he lightly shook his head.

He had intended to give up.

“If you miss this, we won’t know when we will see it again, and who knows how long you will have to delay your Sovereign Celestial Body.” Nine Nether spoke with her brows furrowed.

“It’s too early to say a miss.” Mu Chen smiled.

“What do you mean?” Nine Nether asked in doubt.

“Because someone is greedy and wants to seize my Void Great Solar Fruit as well.” Mu Chen spoke calmly as he continued, “Since he has placed his eyes on us, why can’t we place our eyes on him as well?”

“You want to fight with them?” Nine Nether blinked her eyes as she spoke out in astonishment. She never thought that Mu Chen would be so daring.

“I’m not the one that wants to fight with them, they are the ones that want to fight with us.” Mu Chen continued in a light tone, “Do you have confidence in dealing with that old man?”

What he meant was the black-clothed elderly man that stood beside Liu Ming.

“His strength is at the Fifth Grade Sovereign Realm, a grade higher than mine. However, the fighting capabilities of a Divine Beast is stronger, so he can’t do anything to me. But I’m afraid that I can’t kill him, either.” Nine Nether spoke after some considerations.

“That Liu Ming’s strength is only at the First Grade Sovereign Realm. He should have cultivated a Sovereign Celestial Body. From the surface, his strength is higher than mine. So as long as you can tangle that old man, he will believe that he can deal with me.”

Mu Chen smiled, “Judging from his auctioning means earlier, this person is conceited and vengeful. I have previously torn his face, so he definitely won’t let me go.”

“Looks like it won’t be easy when we leave here.”

“Then, let them try.” A chill flashed across Nine Nether’s eyes. If those fellows dared to place their eyes onto them, she wouldn’t mind letting them know what ‘to try to seal a chicken only to end up losing the rice used to lure it’ meant.

Mu Chen smiled, but there wasn’t much warmth in his smile. Although he didn’t want to cause any trouble, that didn’t mean that he’s afraid of one. If Liu Ming truly wanted to fight, then he would have a perfect excuse to borrow his Undying Divine Leaf…

He wasn’t scared of failure; at most, he could let Nine Nether transform, and they could run for their lives. Even with the black-robed elderly man’s strength at the Fifth Grade Sovereign Realm, he wouldn’t be able to do a thing to the speed of the Nine Netherworld Bird.

As they spoke, the auction for the Undying Divine Leaf had a result, and as expected, it fell into the hands of Liu Ming. With a price of 20,000, it was sufficient to make everyone withdraw.

Up on the auction platform, Master Mo Qing waved his sleeve as a bell rang, indicating that the Undying Divine Leaf had fallen into Liu Ming’s hands.

Seeing the situation, Liu Ming smiled with satisfaction as he lightly rubbed the armrest of his chair with his eyes narrowed. He looked at Mu Chen’s direction as he muttered, “Brat that still smells of his mother’s milk, you’re seeking death when you dared to snatch my stuff.”

Boom.

Another clear bell rang out in the auction hall. In an instant, everyone straightened their bodies, even some of the pavilions had the tulle pulled opened as many gazes fell onto the auction platform.

They knew that the main item of this auction would soon appear.

Many of the various powerful forces came for this final item.

Mu Chen had also raised his head at the same time, looking at the auction platform in curiosity. He was curious what item could be placed after the Void Great Solar Fruit and the Undying Divine Leaf.

Under the countless heated gazes, Master Mo Qing made a grasping gesture with his hand, and a golden light quietly appeared with a flicker, attracting all of the attention in the auction hall.
