Great Immortal Nangong
"Alright, let's begin the auction!"
Zhou Tong looked at the screens and said softly, "First of all, let me clarify that we only accept Immortal Material. Anything like the Myriad Mother Qi, Divine Mark Purple Gold, Dao Tribulation Gold, Dragon Pattern Black Gold, Immortal Tear Green Gold, etc."
"The unit for bidding on Immortal Metal is 'jin', and the unit for the Myriad Mother Qi is 'lü'. The two are equivalent. The starting price for each auction is 100 jin, and each bid must not be lower than 100 jin!"
"This is about all the Myriad Mother Qi!"
As Zhou Tong spoke, he took out a Myriad Mother Qi and gave a demonstration.
The Myriad Mother Qi equivalent to a pound of Immortal Metal is extremely small; that wisp of primordial energy was practically as thick as an earthworm.
"Besides Immortal Metal and the Myriad Mother Qi, materials such as World Stone, Chaos Immortal Marrow, Primordial Stone, Heavenly Defect Stone, and Destiny Stone, or even treasures like the North Pole Immortal Light, are also acceptable!" Zhou Tong continued to specify the bidding standards for those holy lands bit by bit.
This auction is a barter auction, and without standardizing the bidding criteria, it's impossible to hold an auction.
"Alright, enough chit-chat, let's start the auction for the first item!"
"Please welcome the supreme master— Nangong Zheng!!"
As Zhou Tong spoke, a figure appeared on the screen.
This was a tall, handsome man with snow-white hair. Although he was still very tall and imposing, his eyes were completely lifeless.
"The legendary human powerhouse... Nangong Zheng, who cultivated the Longevity Art, lived in the fields of plants and trees, ate flowers to stave off hunger, and was never far from plants. He was actually captured alive by Zhou Tong, who is now going to put him up for auction!!"
"My God, even Nangong Zheng is being auctioned off!"
As soon as Nangong Zheng out, a series of exclamations erupted throughout the Holy City.
Amidst these exclamations, Zhou Tong smiled and immediately boasted about the goods in his hands.
He feigned an air of confidence and self-importance, standing high above on the magnificent Mysterious Jade Platform, giving his introduction.
"Everyone, look closely! This is the supreme being of the human race, Nangong Zheng! The Great Immortal Nangong can shake the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, and tremble the six directions and eight wastelands. He is tall and handsome, with snow-white hair, and befriends plants and trees. He once stormed the Bronze Immortal Palace, vying for that Lifetime destiny!"
Zhou Tong first gave a brief introduction of Nangong Zheng, then said solemnly:
"As we all know, Nangong Zheng cultivates the Longevity Art. Look at him, although he is nearly 2,500 years old, he still looks so young and has strong blood and energy. This shows the miraculous effect of the Longevity Art in prolonging life!"
Zhou Tong kept commenting on Nangong Zheng, and he also subtly pointed out that Nangong Zheng had been sealed away and that his soul could be searched at will after he was bought.
Nangong Zheng was completely sealed. He could hear Zhou Tong's words, but he was completely unable to move. He was furious. He had lived a life of great success, but he ended up like this.
"Zhou Tong, are you sure you can handle this? No one has made a bid yet!" Pang Bo whispered to him.
Zhou Tong rolled his eyes at Pang Bo and transmitted his Sound Dao, "I still have the most crucial information to reveal, what's your rush!"
After a pause, Zhou Tong continued, "The Great Immortal Nangong had a glorious life and was constantly blessed with immortal opportunities. He was originally a cultivator from a small sect, but at the age of eighteen, he accidentally obtained a fragment of the Longevity Heavenly Venerate Venerable Scripture, and thus rose to prominence."
"At 18, he cultivated to the Four Extremities Realm; at 29, he cultivated to the Dragon Transformation Realm; at 59... at 154, he discovered the ruins of the Yuheng Holy Land, broke in, and obtained part of its inheritance... at 369, he accidentally obtained the 50,000-year-old Minor Medicine King White Jade Orchid at Crimson Cloud Mountain; at 581, he obtained the Green Sun Spirit Tree at the Longevity Dragon Mountain in the Eastern Wasteland Northern Region... at 1342, while visiting Yaoguang, he encountered the Yaoguang candidate Saintess... at 1986, he explored the Immortal Mausoleum and survived, and also glimpsed the Immortal Mausoleum's Immortal Stele... at 2508..."
As Zhou Tong introduced the situation, everyone immediately became excited.
"He obtained a 50,000-year-old Minor Medicine King, the White Jade Orchid, from Crimson Cloud Mountain? How dare he! That was clearly something my grandfather obtained by chance, only to be stolen on the way. I never expected it to be you, you bastard!!"
"Very well! You, Nangong Zheng, I consider you my best friend, and you actually stole my Phoenix Grass... I searched for this Phoenix Grass for eight hundred years before finally finding it, and you actually stole it!!"
"So the former candidate for Saintess of Yaoguang had such a past with Nangong Zheng. Hehe, Yaoguang Holy Land is truly a treasure trove. First, the Yaoguang Saint Son watched the Saintess being bullied, and now the former candidate for Saintess is having an affair with Nangong Zheng. Hehehe!!"
"Nangong Zheng has had an incredible opportunity! He studied the scriptures of the Longevity Heavenly Venerate, visited the Immortal Mausoleum and even saw an Immortal Mausoleum stele there. He also heard part of the scriptures of the Ruthless Great Emperor in the Bronze Immortal Palace... No wonder a mere mortal human could live so long! Such heaven-defying opportunities! No wonder he dared to fight for Lifetime of immortality!!"
"I want it! I'll offer 100 jin of Phoenix Blood Red Gold!" At this moment, someone made a bid.
The one who spoke was from the Yaoguang Holy Land, and the elder's voice still carried a hint of anger.
"Hey, isn't this Elder Bai Xuan of Yaoguang Grand Elder Bai Xuan?"
"I understand now. Grand Elder Bai Xuan's wife was the candidate for Saintess of Yaoguang back then. If Zhou Tong isn't exaggerating, it seems she's related to Nangong Zheng..."
Countless onlookers began to discuss the matter, and as these discussions arose, Grand Elder Bai Xuan Yaoguang's face turned completely dark. He felt as if a green meadow had appeared on his head.
"I'll offer two hundred catties of Dragon Pattern Black Gold!"
"Three hundred catties of Immortal Tear Green Gold!"
"Four hundred strands of Profound Yellow Mother Qi!"
Soon, bids rose and fell, and Nangong Zheng's price continued to climb. The scriptures and secret techniques he possessed were priceless; moreover, given his past experiences, there were bound to be people who wanted to "thank" him properly.
"The Yaoguang Holy Land has offered two thousand catties of Phoenix Blood Red Gold. Is there anyone who would bid higher?" Zhou Tong asked three times in a row.
The area below fell silent. Those with purchasing power were mostly from the holy lands, whose treasures were the result of tens of thousands of years of accumulation.
"Deal, payment in advance!" Zhou Tong waved his arm and made the deal immediately.
Soon, light flashed on the Mysterious Jade Platform, and a piece of Phoenix Blood Red Gold appeared before everyone's eyes.
Two thousand catties of Phoenix Blood Red Gold is not much; its volume is only about 100 cubic centimeters, just a small piece, about the size of a child's fist.
"Great product!!" Zhou Tong smiled and saw Nangong Zheng off.
"This is Phoenix Blood Red Gold!!"
Ye Fan and Pang Bo immediately looked over; it was the first time they had ever seen Phoenix Blood Red Gold.
Although this piece of Phoenix Blood Red Gold is rare, it is as red as a ruby, radiating dazzling brilliance.
It is dazzlingly beautiful, breathtakingly gorgeous, with a crystalline radiance that is impossible to look directly at. Faintly visible are the patterns of Divine Phoenix, imprinted on it, mysterious and magnificent.
However, Zhou Tong also had some doubts. "Where did the Yaoguang Holy Land get the Phoenix Blood Red Gold? According to my guess, the Immortal Gold Vein in the Big Dipper should be Dragon Pattern Black Gold and Immortal Tear Green Gold. Where did the Phoenix Blood Red Gold come from? Could it be a fragment of Imperial Weapon that was refined after the Dao Pattern were removed?"
"No...maybe I'm wrong..." Zhou Tong thought for a moment, and then he understood.
It must be something left behind by the Ruthless Great Emperor.
The greatest opportunity for the Ruthless Great Emperor was the Chaos Immortal Land. The core of that Chaos Immortal Land contained the Origin of Myriad Mother Qi, while the outer edges contained divine materials sufficient to forge Great Sage Weapon.
What about the area between the core and the edge?
Perhaps the Immortal Metal used by the Ruthless Great Emperor to forge the chains was found there, and perhaps the materials for Yaoguang's Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron were also obtained from there.
"If my guess is correct, Yaoguang's foundation may be even deeper than I imagined..." Zhou Tong secretly noted it down, thinking he would take advantage of Yaoguang again in the future.
