Falling Divine Tears- this was why everyone had come here today. This was the reason so many people dashed over.
Sima You Yue had thought of how many people would try to obtain it, but she never thought that everyone had dashed all the way here for this.
The bidding was called out wave after wave. She hadn't even started bidding before the bid was raised to five million middle ranked crystal stones. It had already increased to ten times.
"These people… they really don't treat money like money at all!" Fatty Qu sighed when he heard the way they bidded for it.
"Jealous?" Bei Gong Tang laughed.
"Of course I am. When will we ever be able to have that much money to bid for whatever we want, obtain whatever we want for cultivating, tossing out whatever we feel like tossing… That would feel great!" Fatty Qu cried out the desires of his heart.
'This guy… why does that sound like something a nouveau riche would do?" Ouyang Fei joked.
Fatty Qu wasn't shy at all as he laughed, "A nouveau riche is still a rich person."
Sima You Yue didn't join in their conversation because she had joined in the bidding as well.
Falling Divine Tears was something she was determined to possess. Seeing the crazed bidding arena, she had already planned in advance that, if she failed to win the bid, she could carry out her plan B and snatch it away from the owner. She didn't care if it wasn't right, she just had to get it!
The bid price was still climbing higher, and had already come close to ten million. Ximen Feng saw that Sima You Yue was still bidding, and couldn't bear it anymore as he said, "You Yue, let's forget it."
"This is a core ingredient. If I miss out on this chance, I don't know when I will be able to get it again." Sima You Yue looked at Ximen Feng, "We can't afford to wait."
"Ten million." Wu Lingyu opened his mouth at this time, "My Sage Pavilion wants the Falling Divine Tears."
The moment he mentioned the name of the Sage Pavilion, many people immediately backed off.
There were many powers here who depended on the Sage Pavilion for survival. Now, the person bidding was the holy song, and he had even spoken this way. Many pulled out immediately.
There were still a few more who wanted to bid. However, they suddenly realised something. The holy song of the Sage Pavilion was in the same private room as Third Mo!
Didn't that mean that the two of them were on the same path? Those who did not flock under the banner of the Sage Pavilion did not dare not to offend Third Mo either. Compared to the Sage Pavilion, the fact that they did not know who Third Mo's backer was, made them even more fearful.
Sima You Yue was speechless. She looked at Wu Lingyu with a little resentment. This guy spoke out without even discussing it with her, and even dragged the name of the Sage Pavilion in.
However, this was still rather useful. At least, nobody dared to continue to bid for it.
"Ten Million going once, ten million going twice, ten million going thrice…" Jun Cang surveyed the bidding arena and ascertained that nobody else was going to bid, and finally knocked the bidding hammer. "Bid successful, the falling deity tears has been won by his highness, the holy son."
As he spoke, a servant girl walked up carrying a tray to the room that Sima You Yue and the others were in.
Sima You Yue took out a crystal card and gave ten million to the servant girl before keeping the the falling divine tears.
At the end, Sima You Yue no longer participated in the bid. She had no interest in those things. However, she had learnt a lot just by watching.
The auction lasted for a day and night. By the morning of the third day, Jun Cang finally said that the auction had come to an end, and it was time for the barter.
The beginning two items did not capture Sima You Yue's attention at all. However, when the third item was brought up, she started to pay attention to Jun Cang's request.
Jun Cang introduced the item as per their usual protocol, then said, "The owner of this item did not write down what he wanted. He merely asked for the people here to write they were willing to give to him, on a piece of paper. He will then pick from there."
Sima You yue took out her writing brush, thought for a moment, then wrote down 'Golden Snake Fruit." Then, she handed the paper over to the servant girl.
"Very quickly, the owner of the item selected someone. He chose to exchange it with Sima You Yue's golden snake fruit.
Nobody else knew what Sima You Yue had written. However, since it was able to move the owner, it must have been something out of the ordinary.
When the last item was brought up, everyone's eyes couldn't leave it. Even Sima You Yue's breathing sped up.
"This is the last item for the entire auction- Divine Powder. This is an item that we have retrieved from an ancient ore. I don't need to tell you how valuable this is, everyone already knows." Jun Cang said, "The owner has requested for one thing. Apart from this item, he will not exchange it for anything else."
"Pavilion Master Jun, don't keep it from us any longer. What does he want? Tell us quickly!" The people below urged.
Jun Cang saw that everyone was anxious, and smiled till his eyes turned into crescents. "He has told me this, that he only wants the Divine Scar. Whoever has the divine scar can use it to exchange for the Divine Powder."
"Divine Scar? What is that?"
Not to mention possessing it, the people below hadn't even heard of it before.
Sima You Yue furrowed her eyebrows. She had heard of the Divine Scar before, but she didn't have one.
"What in the world is a Divine Scar? You highness Holy Son, do you guys know it?"
"The Divine Scar is a kind of divine medicine. It is a type of pill ingredient that Scarless Emperor Jun cultivated. It is said that before he died, he placed all of his spirit energy inside that ingredient. It caused it to change from an ordinary ingredient, into a kind of divine medicine. This item exists only in the ancient texts. Nobody has ever seen it." Wu Lingyu said.
"Since it's something that doesn't exist, why did the owner list this as the condition?"
Wu Lingyu, Qin Mo and the others shook their heads. They couldn't understand what the person wanted.
"It could be that he believes this item exists." Sima You Yue sighed. She had ever thought that the other party would want the Divine Scar. She could only watch helplessly, with eyes open wide, as she failed to obtain the Divine Powder.
Jun Cang waited for quite a long time. When he saw that nobody had been able to produce the item, he could only get his people to keep the item away. At the same time, the auction came to an end.
As she left the stage, he felt a bit regretful towards the owner. She had already searched in many places, but never managed to find it. She had thought of trying her luck here, but had failed once again.
When he thought of her current circumstances, he could not help but sigh on her behalf.
As the auction came to a close, everyone prepared to leave. Sima You Yue was rather dispirited because she was unable to obtain the final Divine Powder.
Ximen Feng's heart ached when he saw Sima You Yue this way. He pulled her to a stop and said softly, "You Yue, there's no rush even if you didn't manage to obtain it. I'm already satisfied because I managed to find you again."
"No way. Since there's a way to treat your condition, I won't give up." Sima You Yue shook her head, saying, "Although we don't have the Divine Scar, we can still look for her a discuss. We can see if she can give us a different condition. Before we try, I refuse to give up."
After coming to a decision, she had no intentions to rush off. She got Sima Lie and the others to lead the rest back as she, Wu Lingyu, Third Mo and the others went off to look for the servant girl to request to meet Jun Lan.
