Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation
Chapter 983 - 976: Auctioning the Chaos Treasure
Earlier, Ding Huan had a gut feeling that this incense burner had been implanted with bloodline incantations.
Now, with the incense burner in his hand, he didn't even need to use Divine Will to scan it to be sure he wasn't mistaken; this incense burner indeed had bloodline incantations.
Looking at the magical treasure, the incense burner, which was now bound by him, Ding Huan felt speechless.
He had never intended to seize this incense burner, yet it had come to him anyway.
This felt very unusual.
How could such a coincidence happen?
When Han Congjian and the others rushed over, Ding Huan vaguely had a suspicion, and he felt quite annoyed.
This incense burner definitely hadn't rushed over to him without reason, nor was it unintentionally thrown over by Jian Zhen.
It was very likely related to the bloodline incantations in the incense burner.
Did they want him to help nurture the treasure?
Heh, they think his Great Universe Technique is excellent, with a clear and pure Taoist Rhythm, so they want to choose a good Treasure Nurturer.
In just a short time, Han Congjian, Xian Qingan, Guo Qingshan, and Zhu Xunjiang had surrounded Ding Huan and his two companions.
Although Jian Zhen was injured, he did not move far away; instead, he stood on the outskirts, watching this side.
Ding Huan didn't need to extend his Divine Will to know that Lou Poyi had indeed left.
He could sense that the aura of Taoist Rhythm was moving further and further away.
That guy has some tricks up his sleeve.
Who knows why he turned around and left? Did he know that Ding Huan was here, or was there another reason?
But even if Ding Huan wanted to kill Lou Poyi, he had to deal with the matters here first.
"Si Xin, who is this beside you?" Zhu Xunjiang asked, puzzled.
In his heart, he now felt more confident about obtaining this Chaos Treasure.
Standing next to Ji Sixin, it must certainly be someone from the Trading Building.
With his influence on the Trading Building, acquiring a Chaos Treasure was just a matter of a word.
Before Ji Sixin could answer, Di He loudly said, "This is my brother Ding Huan, haha..."
Now he was truly impressed with Ding Huan.
He got the incense burner with such ease, without requiring him and Ji Sixin to lift a finger.
So, previously saying he didn't want it was just to confuse them.
If it were him, he couldn't think of such a method no matter how hard he tried.
"Si Xin, this incense burner is extremely useful to me, and Ding Huan is a newcomer to your Trading Building, right? Could you sell this incense burner to me?"
Zhu Xunjiang's tone was as if it were only natural.
The others were all staring at Ding Huan.
If Ding Huan intended to sell, they'd bid immediately. If he didn't, then they'd continue to snatch it.
This incense burner isn't something a small ant can lay their hands on.
Only Jian Zhen was sneering inside.
Even if Ding Huan wasn't at the Seventh Step of the Great Dao, he wasn't far from it. Otherwise, how could he have ambushed Lou Poyi with one strike?
Moreover, the red-haired figure behind Ding Huan was someone capable of battling Lou Poyi, a strong Seventh Step.
The only slightly weaker one was Ji Sixin.
Zhu Xunjiang wanting Ding Huan, who nearly took down Lou Poyi, to sell the Chaos Treasure, was simply dreaming.
What he didn't know was that Ji Sixin was not any less than him now, and she was also a Master of the Universe laying down principles.
Ji Sixin clasped her hands together, "Brother Zhu, Brother Ding is not from my Trading Building, I'm not sure whether he wishes to sell his things or not."
She sneered in her heart.
Zhu Xunjiang had gained too many benefits from her Ji Family; whether it was her or her father, they spared no effort to nurture Zhu Xunjiang.
Without her Ji Family, where would the Master of the Universe Zhu Xunjiang come from?
They only wanted to cultivate a Seventh Step of the Great Dao for the Trading Building to protect it in the future.
Unfortunately, Zhu Xunjiang turned out to be an ingrate.
Since the beginning until now, she hadn't invited Zhu Xunjiang much at all.
Even a while ago, when she asked Zhu Xunjiang for a favor, he did come, but he simply ignored her request.
Whenever it involved Zhu Xunjiang's own interests, he would outright ignore her and the Trading Building.
Outside Ding Huan's cave mansion, he was reluctant to even make a perfunctory remark.
Now saying Ding Huan should hand over the Chaos Treasure, that tone was as if it were only right.
Heh, saying he wanted to buy it on the surface, but if it really belonged to her Trading Building, Zhu Xunjiang would definitely not trade anything for it.
Upon hearing Ji Sixin's words, Zhu Xunjiang slightly furrowed his brow and then his tone turned cold, "Manager Si Xin, my connection with your father was extraordinary. Keeping this Chaos Treasure in my hands would only benefit the Trading Building."
Ji Sixin said calmly, "My father was harmed because he couldn't judge people clearly, and to this day, the murderer hasn't been found.
Also, because my father passed early, I've been bullied everywhere, unable to find even one protector."
These words made it clear that the Trading Building gave heaps of benefits to Zhu Xunjiang, but he was unwilling to help at all.
Zhu Xunjiang naturally heard the sarcasm in Ji Sixin's words and snorted coldly, "Niece, do you think you can control the Trading Building yourself?"
He felt displeased inside as well.
In his heart, even though he never stood up to help the Trading Building.
But the reason the Trading Building of Gods can establish itself in the World of Gods, and even use the term 'Gods', is all thanks to him.
If it weren't for him endorsing the Trading Building of Gods, would it have achieved its current status?
After Zhu Xunjiang finished speaking, he turned to Ding Huan:
"Ding Huan, this Chaos Treasure belongs to the Master of the Universe, it won't stay with you for long."
Ding Huan glanced at Zhu Xunjiang: "Who the hell are you? How long I can keep it has nothing to do with you."
Upon hearing Ding Huan's words, Zhu Xunjiang's face grew increasingly unpleasant, and his entire domain blasted towards Ding Huan without reservation.
Ding Huan didn't move, and Di He's domain just swept out.
Bang!
The domains of the two collided in the void, Zhu Xunjiang's face slightly turned pale, and he retreated several meters.
"Seventh Step?"
Not only Zhu Xunjiang, but the other Masters of the Universe were also astonished, staring at Di He.
Jian Zhen was even more shocked inside.
He had long known that Ding He was at the Seventh Step, but the clash between Di He and Zhu Xunjiang's domains earlier made him realize that Di He's strength had increased once more.
Compared to Lou Poyi, Zhu Xunjiang was actually a bit weaker, and Di He was about on par with Lou Poyi in strength.
Now that Di He was able to suppress Zhu Xunjiang with just his domain, it showed that Di He had an even more profound foundation in the Seventh Step.
Ding Huan ignored Zhu Xunjiang, whose eyes flashed with dread, and instead said to the others: "Everyone here is a Seventh Step mighty being. Holding this incense burner in my hand is indeed a bit hot.
I'm not someone unwise and do realize this Chaos Treasure is not something I should use. How about this, whoever offers the highest price will get the incense burner."
After finishing, Ding Huan also gave a flourish to the incense burner treasure in his hand.
Although the golden light around the incense burner had faded now, the chaotic treasure's Taoist aura still flowed unceasingly, and everyone knew it was a top-grade attack treasure.
Even Jian Zhen felt a surge of joy upon hearing Ding Huan's words.
He was injured, and although not severely, his hopes of seizing the incense burner were nearly gone.
Now Ding Huan wanted to sell the incense burner, which played right into his hands.
As for whether Ding Huan said the wrong person wasn't fit, nobody cared. It was just a slip of the tongue, understandable.
"I wonder what Mr. Ding wants? I have some chaos rule sap here, Mr. Ding..."
Jian Zhen was the first to ask.
The others all looked at Ding Huan eagerly.
Whoever this Chaos Treasure fell to could potentially become the strongest in the World of Gods.
"First, if there's a Taoist Disc, it naturally gets priority. If not, a Dao Pearl or Dao Pillar would suffice..."
Jian Zhen wasn't surprised by Ding Huan's first requirement. This guy transformed into Qi Sha and killed Ju Chen for a Dao Pearl, didn't he?
If he wasn't mistaken, Min Zu might also have fallen at this person's hands.
Even the King Jianjian was likely doomed.
Otherwise, why hasn't the King Jianjian shown up yet?
If chaos rule sap appeared, anyone at the Seventh Step would surely desire it.
If before Ding Huan's scheme against Lou Poyi, he might have thought it unlikely, now even if Ding Huan claimed he killed King Jianjian, he wouldn't doubt it.
"Second, if there's a top-grade Dao Vein or top-grade treasure, these can be offered for trade. As for high-grade Dao Veins, don't embarrass yourself. I have countless."
Ding Huan explicitly said he wasn't an unwise person, but the tone of his transaction was rather arrogant, making people uncomfortable.
However, upon hearing Ding Huan's words, several people gasped.
Top-grade Dao Vein, something they all craved.
As for Dao Pearls, one would be taken as soon as it appeared in the World of Gods, who could own one?
Guo Qingshan immediately offered: "Mr. Ding, I have a top-grade Dao Vein and a Heaven Creation Treasure, the Chaos Opening Pestle.
If Mr. Ding finds it insufficient, you can request more from me. I have both chaos rule sap and Chaos Dao Fruit."
After realizing that Di He beside Ding Huan was a Seventh Step powerhouse, Zhu Xunjiang lost his earlier contempt too:
"Mr. Ding, I have thirteen high-grade Dao Veins, half a top-grade Dao Vein, and an Innate Treasure."
When making his offer this time, he no longer directly called Ding Huan by name, and after quoting, he also looked toward Ji Sixin, evidently hoping for her support.
Ding Huan couldn't even be bothered to pay attention to this.
He had just said not to bring up high-grade Dao Veins to save face, yet this guy was still trying to make a fuss over them.
Others offered Heaven Creation Treasures, and he only had an Innate Treasure to make do with, truly shameless.
Jian Zhen followed up by saying:
"Mr. Ding, I have a top-grade Dao Vein, plus the treasure I currently use, a Heaven Creation Treasure, the Vast Stone Sphere, and I'll also give you the location of a possible Dao Pearl."
Ding Huan's eyes lit up at this offer.
Han Congjian and Xian Qingan, seemingly aware that their offerings couldn't outbid Jian Zhen's, simply refrained from bidding.
Ding Huan immediately said: "Alright, Alliance Master Jian, I'll trade with you."
"Hold on, Mr. Ding, although you obtained this Chaos Treasure, it's a treasure of the World of Gods, you don't yet have the right..."
Zhu Xunjiang was anxious.
The thing he lacked most now was a Chaos Treasure, and this incense burner seemed tailor-made for him, how could it be traded to Jian Zhen?
"Noisy..." Ding Huan snorted coldly, then followed up with a punch.
(Good night, fellow Daoist!)
