Third Mo smiled, saying, “I’ve already seen the ore. I don’t have to look at it again.”

“You’ve already seen it? When did this happen?”

Didn’t they say that the Xuan Yuan Pavilion had guarded their items for auction very tightly? How did this guy take a look at it?

“A few days ago.” Third Mo said. With regards to his method, he definitely wouldn’t tell anyone.

“Since you’ve already seen it, is there anything inside that ore?” Sima You Yue asked curiously.

“Yeah, I suspect that it’s a living creature.” When he mentioned this, Third Mo’s expression turned solemn but still carried a trace of irrepressible excitement.

“If it’s a living creature, wouldn’t it be something from the ancient times? Things from back then seem to be a bit more impressive, right?” Kong Xiang Yi exclaimed.

The others were equally excited. If something living was inside it, then it had a whole other meaning.

The current ores were mostly formed by the concentration of the spirit energy from the ancient times. If it really held a living creature, it must be that the spirit energy was so dense that it even enveloped a living thing inside. It had then frozen it, causing it to stop breathing. The functions on its body were also frozen along with it. Once one released it, it would be able to regain its movement and its life along with it.

If what Third Mo said was true, then wouldn’t they have the possibility of seeing a creature from ancient times?

Just thinking of it set their blood boiling from excitement!

“I wonder if the creature inside is powerful. However, the creatures from ancient times truly were much more powerful than the current ones. At that time, there were more Emperor Ranks around, not like now.” Third Mo sighed.

“Why has this world regressed?” Ouyang Fei asked.

“The change in the heavenly law has increased the difficulty in advancing in rank. It’s getting harder to cultivate.” Wu Lingyu explained, “Many powerful people have come to this conclusion and have been searching for ways to break through it, but it’s been useless.”

Everyone had a profound understanding of the suppression of the heavenly law. Because the snow wolves had it the little realm, they were unable to break through to the sacred rank.

Right now, this world was subject to something similar, so it was getting harder and harder for humans to cultivate.

“I know about this because Master said it before. However, why did that happen? Why did the heavenly law change? How did the heavenly law even form? What made it change?”

Wu Lingyu was stumped by Sima You Yue’s question and shook his head, saying, “I think we will understand the answers to this question once we’ve reached the rank.”

“Is there really anyone who can manage to reach the legendary Emperor Rank?” Fatty Qu asked the question that everyone was secretly thinking about.

Sima You Yue smiled, saying confidently, “Since others can do it, we will too. As long as we work hard, it wouldn’t matter even if we didn’t manage to meet it.”

“That’s true. As long as we work hard, the final results are not that important. We should only fear being unable to persevere on the road of cultivation, or forgetting why we do.” Sima Lie said with a nod.

Qin Mo had a whole new level of respect for Sima Lie and others. In the past, he merely treated them as You Yue’s family and friends, so he took care of them as well. However, he now had an appreciation for their character.

As they conversed, half an hour went by quickly. The spirit masters on stage were ushered down and they returned to their seats.?Jun Cang then walked up slowly, saying, “I’m sure that everyone has observed this clearly? How is it? Not bad, right? Ha ha, if you think that it’s not bad, then place your bit. The starting bid is five hundred thousand. The bidding starts now.”

“Five hundred and fifty thousand.” Everyone had yet to regain their senses after hearing such a high price when someone began bidding for it. In a moment, it had surpassed the five hundred thousand mark.

“Six hundred thousand.”

“Seven hundred thousand.”

“Nine hundred thousand.”

“One million.”

“…”

In less than a minute, the price had increased by a huge leap and entered the million range.

Those who did not participate in the bidding looked on. They all lamented at how rich these spirit masters were. These hundred thousands to millions of crystals were being called out like they were nothing. They really didn’t bear to part with it at all.

The price continued to climb upwards. Two million, three million, then even the entrance to the four million range. This caused everyone watching to be extremely excited.

This was the most exciting part of the night. It was as if the whole place was filled with excitement. Everyone’s breath continued to follow the momentum of the bid prices as they were called out. Sometimes slowly, sometimes quickly.

Third Mo was not anxious as those people continued to call out their bids. He even had the mood to drink tea.

“Third Lord Mo, aren’t you anxious?” Kong Xiang Yi saw how calm Third Mo was and could not help but ask.

“What’s there to be anxious about?” Third Mo put down his tea cup and poured himself some more tea. “The bids will slow down soon. There’s no use calling out a price now.”

Kong Xiang Yi pursed her lips. The situation outside was just as he said. It didn’t seem that the bids were going to end anytime soon as higher bids were called out one after another. However, the speed of which they were getting called out were slowing down.

After a long moment, Third Mo noticed that the number of people who were bidding for it had decreased, so he began bidding as well.

“Ten million.”

“Ss-”

The moment he called out a bid, he added on an entire million, causing everyone to suck in a cold breath.

“Eleven million.” Another guy followed up quickly. He also added on an entire million.

The moment these two stepped in, those seeker spirit masters who had wanted to continue bidding had their passion put out. This was because everyone could recognise their voices. If they wanted to fight for it, nobody was their match.

“This Liang Yu guy steps in really quick.” Fatty Qu didn’t have a good impression of that guy.

“The Stone Pavilion is a place raking in money. As the young master of the stone pavilion, it’s natural that he’s loaded.” Kong Xiang Yi said.

“Then isn’t it hopeless for us?”

Even if Third Mo had money, what was it when compared to the young master of the stone pavilion? The amount of funds he could mobilise could crush one to death.

“That’s not for sure.” Ximen Feng spoke a rare sentence, “It’s precisely because he’s the young master that he has a lot more to consider. He cannot reveal his whole hand.”

Sima You Yue looked at Ximen Feng. The younger brother that loved to lie on her back had now grown up. He could even see this aspect of things.

When the price was raised to forty million, Ling Yu’s bid slowed down. The elder beside him said, “Young Master, the ore is worth twenty million at most. If we spend forty million on it today, it would already have far surpassed the amount it can fetch us. If we bid for it and it turns out to be worth less than that, it will be hard for us to explain things when we return.”

The previous time, the clan elders had already called him in for questioning when Sima You Yue had earned ten million from the stone pavilion. If he wasted another fortune on something that didn’t have any use, his elders might chastise him again.

After thinking through it again, Lian Yu gave up on the bid war. Third Mo finally won the ore with a bid of forty nine million.

“Lord Third Mo is so bold. He didn’t even hesitate in his bid.” Liang Yu spoke slowly when Jun Cang slammed the auction mallet.

“Isn’t Young Master Liang the same? However, I initially thought that Young Master Liang would fight with me to the end. I never expected that you would retreat early on. You even helped me to save money.” Third Mo retorted.
