NOVEL WEB Chapter 637: I Still Have a Knife
It's not uncommon for a Five-Star Divine Status Crystal to sell for several million top-grade Divine Crystals in the Upper God Land.
This kind of rare resource is something that all the Great Sects vie for.
Who would casually exchange such a thing for Divine Muhe?
Even if it appears occasionally, it's usually at an auction.
The main purpose isn't to sell the Five-Star Divine Status Crystals but to boost the popularity and prestige of the auction.
So once a Five-Star Divine Status Crystal appears, no one raises the bid anymore.
Because no matter how much you bid, you can't surpass a Five-Star Divine Status Crystal.
Ding Huan didn't have to wait long before a young female cultivator arrived outside his booth.
God Monarch Realm?
No, it's the late Heavenly God Realm, having attempted to break through to God Monarch but failed, causing her cultivation level to drop.
"Fellow Daoist, the Divine Muhe has been brought. May I ask how much additional Divine Crystals you require?" The woman asked warmly with a tray in her hands.
Ding Huan also stood up:
"I have two requirements. First, my Five-Star Divine Status Crystal trades for Divine Muhe and the auction house supplements me with two million top-grade Divine Crystals. Second, I need to leave the auction now..."
The woman's face showed difficulty.
Before she could speak, Ding Huan added, "If you cannot agree to the second point, then adding ten million top-grade Divine Crystals is also fine."
Ding Huan was certain that Feiyang Auction wouldn't supplement him with ten million top-grade Divine Crystals.
Sure enough, Ding Huan felt a spatial fluctuation.
Even though his Divine Will wasn't extended, he knew someone was transmitting a message to the young woman.
"Alright, you present the Five-Star Divine Status Crystal, and we will give you Divine Muhe and two million top-grade Divine Crystals. The transaction ends here." The woman was straightforward this time.
Ding Huan took out a Jade Box.
The Jade Box was without restriction; when the woman's Divine Will fell on it, it was indeed a low-grade Five-Star Divine Crystal.
The woman was very satisfied, picked up the Jade Box, and handed the Divine Muhe and a Storage Bag to Ding Huan.
Ding Huan scanned with his Divine Will, indeed two million top-grade Divine Crystals.
Ding Huan collected the Divine Muhe and the Storage Bag, turning to leave.
"According to our Feiyang Commerce's regulations during the auction, you're not allowed to leave. If you must, it has to be me accompanying you out." The woman said with a pleasant smile after transmitting what she held away.
"Alright, please lead the way."
Ding Huan knew well that now that his items were exposed, many would come to trouble him after the auction.
The prerequisite was that auctions didn't allow outside contact during bidding, otherwise, people might already be on their way.
If he left early, even if someone wanted trouble, it would just be Feiyang Commerce.
The woman led Ding Huan out through a side door of the auction hall.
As Ding Huan was about to stride towards the Dao Ruins entrance, the woman suddenly stopped him: "Please wait, fellow Daoist..."
Ding Huan was not surprised. If Divine Spirit Rice truly didn't exist in the Divine World, its value was self-evident.
Feiyang Commerce knowing he might have Divine Spirit Rice would not let him go without reason; otherwise, they couldn't have reached their current scale.
"What is it?"
"Fellow Daoist, would you kindly sit with me over at the Rest Building? There are some matters to discuss with you."
As the female cultivator uttered these words, she was ready to resort to force.
She assumed Ding Huan wouldn't go with her willingly, unless he was foolish enough to follow her, a Heavenly God Realm practitioner, to Feiyang Commerce's Rest Building.
What she didn't expect was Ding Huan smiling faintly, "Since that's the case, please lead the way."
Ding Huan sneered inwardly. He had intentionally revealed his cultivation.
If he didn't, such a Heavenly God Realm powerhouse wouldn't discern that he was at the Divine Rhythm cultivation stage.
"If fellow Daoist..."
The female cultivator stopped after a few words; did this person actually agree to go to the Rest Building with her?
"Alright, fellow Daoist, please follow me." She quickly led the way after speaking.
Soon, she brought Ding Huan to a private room in the Rest Building.
Ding Huan had already scanned the room with his Divine Will, noticing two people waiting inside, making three in total including the female cultivator.
All three were at the Heavenly God Realm.
One was at the perfect stage of the Heavenly God Realm, the other two at the late stage.
Upon entering the room, Ding Huan laid down various Poison Dao Laws.
Nothing significant, not to mention no God Monarch; even if there were, he would still deploy poison first.
Against a World God, it would take him ten days to poison.
Facing Heavenly God Realm practitioners, he only needed a dozen breaths to complete laying the poison.
Even if there were God Monarch realm cultivators present.
As long as they couldn't bind him with their domain instantly, he had the chance to escape.
Seated were two men; the perfect-stage Heavenly God Realm practitioner was a frail-looking man with sharp eyes.
His gaze swept over Ding Huan, unrestrained and impolite, clearly viewing Ding Huan, this Divine Rhythm stage ant, as something he could squash anytime.
"Do you have Divine Spirit Rice?" the frail man's voice was soft but filled with thick threat.
This clearly wasn't someone interested in legitimate business negotiations.
Ding Huan nodded, "Yes, I do have Divine Spirit Rice, but..."
But what?
The three people in the room all looked at Ding Huan.
Ding Huan stretched out his hand, and the very ugly long sword had already appeared in his hand. As he swept out a curtain of sword light, he said:
"I still have a sword."
Seeing Ding Huan make a move, the two men and one woman in the room were all furious. They had seen many arrogant cultivators.
They had never seen an arrogant cultivator like Ding Huan, who was at the Cultivation Realm.
The slender man had just raised his hand to grab Ding Huan when he was horrified to find his domain shattered directly and a Poison Dao Law inside him exploded instantly.
At that moment, not only was his Divine Essence dissipating, but his Taoist Rhythm also began to collapse.
"Law Poison..."
The slender man looked at Ding Huan in horror. How could he fight?
He was certainly not Xuan Jincheng, who could resist even when infected by the Bone Devouring Dao and the Sinking Dao Poison.
His Divine Will might not even be as strong as Ding Huan's. Facing Ding Huan's Poison Dao Law, especially when Ding Huan activated it face-to-face, what could he do but despair?
"Pfft!" Blood burst forth.
With one swing of the blade, Ding Huan slaughtered this Heavenly God Realm practitioner.
The female cultivator who brought Ding Huan in had already summoned her Magical Treasure, yet dared not make a move.
She was also stunned, especially when Ding Huan made a move; she was even more certain he was a Cultivation Realm cultivator.
A Cultivation Realm cultivator facing three Heavenly God Realm cultivators, not only able to casually lay down a Poison Dao Law, but also killing a Heavenly God Realm practitioner.
What was clearly impossible, happened right in front of her.
She and the other Heavenly God Realm cultivator in the room both looked pale.
"Dao friend, I really didn't know about this..."
The Poison Dao Law took effect, and she saw her own death.
As a late-stage Heavenly God, she believed she couldn't be mistaken—it was the aura of death.
The female cultivator had just spoken a sentence when Ding Huan's Sword Curtain took her head away.
The last late-stage Heavenly God Realm practitioner turned to flee, but the Sinking Dao Poison took effect, making his every move awkwardly slow.
Ding Huan didn't even need to exert himself; the long sword similarly took his head away.
Three rings were collected by Ding Huan, who then summoned flames to burn the three bodies.
After completing this, Ding Huan leisurely changed his clothes and altered his appearance, then escaped the room with Heart Escape.
Taking out the Array Token to open the Protecting Array into the Dao Ruins, Ding Huan soon disappeared into the depths of the Dao Ruins.
After Ding Huan entered the Dao Ruins, Dao Ruins Street was completely in an uproar.
After the auction at Feiyang Commerce ended, news of top-grade Divine Spirit Rice and Five-Star Divine Status Crystal spread quickly across the Divine World.
Almost every Great Sect sent people to Dao Ruins Street.
Five-Star Divine Status Crystal might as well be dismissed.
After all, it's all about luck. Gaining one is heaven-defying luck; it's impossible to obtain more than two.
These people came to Dao Ruins Street and headed straight for Feiyang Commerce.
The president of Feiyang Commerce, Chang Feiyang, was sitting with a dark face in the assembly hall of the Feiyang Auction, while several stewards who managed this auction trembled, kneeling in the middle of the hall.
It was not because Ding Huan killed three managers from Feiyang Commerce, but because the incident caused a big stir.
At that moment, the Guest Hall of Feiyang Commerce was nearly filled with heads from various Great Sects, waiting for Chang Feiyang.
Chang Feiyang had to give them an explanation.
Because during the auction at Feiyang Commerce, there appeared a guest with top-grade Divine Spirit Rice.
This guest left Feiyang Commerce before the auction ended, and after leaving, was taken away by Manager Kui Yue of Feiyang Commerce.
After that, the guest never appeared again.
Even an idiot could know that the guest had either been imprisoned or killed by Feiyang Commerce.
Only the people at Feiyang Commerce were aware that they hadn't touched Ding Huan a bit. Moreover, all three Heavenly God Realm managers of Feiyang Commerce had gone missing.
Missing was impossible; it could only mean they were killed.
However, Feiyang Commerce was aware of this, Chang Feiyang knew it, but the other sects didn't believe them.
As long as other sects didn't believe them, it meant Feiyang Commerce intended to monopolize.
Monopolizing other items might be acceptable, but daring to monopolize Divine Spirit Rice, which concerns the entire Divine World, meant inviting the wrath of the whole Divine World.
Chang Feiyang wished he could tear apart the person who suggested taking Ding Huan away, but alas, that individual too had disappeared.
...
Upon entering Dao Ruins, Ding Huan saw a scene of gray heavens and earth.
You couldn't tell where the sky was nor the earth.
Everywhere you looked, it was all gray.
Ding Huan caught some Law Auras that he had never felt before, which were not only chaotic but also very vague.
Ding Huan felt that the Heaven and Earth Rules here were different from outside.
Although the rules here were vague, they still existed.
Moreover, cultivation was possible here, even though the Heaven and Earth Divine Spirit Qi was rather mottled.
This was no matter to Ding Huan.
Finding Wen Ji Yue now wasn't urgent; his first task was to find a place to lay down a Protecting Array and allow his Illusion Eye to upgrade.
