God-Like Extraction

Chapter 206: It Won’t Disappoint!

Translator: Atlas StudiosEditor: Atlas Studios

Whoosh!

There was a slight stir in the auction hall.

Although silence was quickly restored, many people had indeed become interested.

Putting the effects of the Soul Nurturing Stone aside, just what the words “Great Moon Empire” represented invigorated one.

The Great Moon Empire was once the most powerful empire in the entire Eastern Continent.

The Eastern Continent referred to the vast lands to the east of the Boundless Mountain Range.

Including the Yu Nation, there were a total of 13 nations.

That was now.

In ancient times, the Eastern Continent had more than 40 dynasties at one point.

At the height of the Great Moon Empire’s prosperity, there were only three nations in the Eastern Continent.

The northernmost Snow Nation, the southernmost Yan Nation, and the strongest Great Moon Empire!

Had it not been for the fact that the Snow Nation was too cold and the Yan Nation too hot, these two nations would have been unified by the Great Moon Empire.

According to historical records, the Great Moon Empire was the strongest in the “Martial Emperor’s Domination” era .

This era began with the strongest, most unreasonable, and most domineering Sacred Moon Martial Emperor, and lasted for a total of 69 years.

Over these 69 years, there was only one voice in the entire Eastern Continent.

That of the Sacred Moon Martial Emperor!

Under the suppression of the Martial Emperor, even the Barbarian Emperor had to bow his head.

In these 69 years, apart from the first year where there was an invasion, the rest of the time was spent holed up in the Boundless Mountain Range or occupying the Western Continent.

Only after the death of a Martial Emperor did they begin invasions again.

However, the Sacred Moon Martial Emperor’s cause of death remained a mystery even today.

Even though 3,000 years had passed, everyone was still interested in this tyrannical Martial Emperor.

Su Jingxing was no exception.

To think that the stones picked up by the group of men he was dealing with belonged to the Great Moon Empire. This was quite an opportunity.

He wondered what was the use of this Soul Nurturing Stone?

“Friends, the advertisement is over. Let’s continue, shall we?”

On the stage, the thick-browed old man said with a smile, “Anyone who doesn’t know the full extent of the effects of the Soul Nurturing Stone will only treat it as a sleeping stone. Hugging it to sleep is very comfortable, and you will be especially refreshed the next day.

“However, in fact, the function of the Soul Nurturing Stone is to nourish soul power and strengthen one’s soul. It can even heal wounds inflicted on the soul!”

Whoosh!

The commotion in the auction hall was especially loud this time.

It took a while before the silence returned.

Everyone wore varying expressions of shock, joy, and astonishment.

It nourished one’s soul power, strengthened and healed one’s soul.

Any one of these functions was top-notch.

Be it for martial artists in the top ranks or the middle ranks, they were highly attractive.

$u Jingxing was also tempted.

Or rather, no one wasn’t.

Including Gu Zhanlin and Lu Wuchang!

“Calm down, everyone,” said the old man with a smile.

“The Soul Nurturing Stone is indeed a great treasure, but!

“But for it to take effect, you need the full set.

“That’s right. There’s more than one Soul Nurturing Stone; there are 12 of them!

“Only by gathering all 12 Soul Nurturing Stones can you fully utilize the effects of Soul Nurturing.

“Why is this so?

“Because the Soul Nurturing Stones are man-made!

“They aren’t formed naturally. Instead, they were molded by Empress Shadowmoon using array formations. No one knows why she created them, and that’s also why many people have never heard of them.

“The Myriad Treasures Court went through hundreds of thousands of documents before finding some clues. In the end, we confirmed that this is a Soul Nurturing Stone!

“Unfortunately, we only received one Soul Nurturing Stone. We’re not sure if the person who sent it has more.

“Therefore, the starting bid for this Soul Nurturing Stone is 100 million Great Yu dollars. The markup for every bid must not be lower than 10 million dollars.

“Briends, if you are interested, please state your bids.”

With that said, the thick-browed old man raised the mallet and got ready.

“200 million,” a fat middle-aged man swiftly shouted.

“300 million.”

“400 million.”

Even without the old man’s encouragement, everyone else followed suit.

Every increment was 100 million dollars.

Wealthy people?

Among the attendees, other than Old Wang and his colleagues who tasked the Myriad Treasures Court to sell the Soul Nurturing Stone, the others were in no lack of money.

However, the real reason for their bids was not because they had nowhere to spend their money.

Rather, it was because the effects of the Soul Nurturing Stone were too attractive.

Even though there was only one piece, it was enough for everyone to take a gamble.

Su Jingxing did the same.

When the price reached 1.7 billion, he immediately called out “2 billion”.

He marked up the price by 300 million in one go. Only then did the agitated crowd calm down.

2 billion Great Yu dollars was no longer a small amount.

Even the Li Family had to consider its gains and losses.

The Soul Nurturing Stone was good, but there was only one of them here out of a total of 12.

Did the seller have all the rest in their possession?

No one knew!

If they did, that would be fine.

But if they didn’t, or did not have the complete set, this would be a huge loss.

Everyone fell silent as they pondered.

“20 billion going once.”

Seeing this, the thick-browed old man shouted to work up the atmosphere. “Anyone else wants to raise the bid? 20 going twice! Anyone else? If you miss this opportunity, that’s it. Do twice about the effects of the Soul Nurturing Stone.”

There was still no response.

“Two billion going thrice!”

‘When the thick-browed old man saw this, he rapped the hammer and announced in a clear voice, “Congratulations on winning the bid for the Soul Nurturing Stone, my friend. Please proceed backstage later for the transaction.”

“Now, let’s move on to the next item!”

With that said, the female martial artist put away the Soul Nurturing Stone, covered it with a red cloth, and temporarily moved it backstage.

Another female martial artist came onto the stage, holding an even larger plate in her hand.

On the plate was a rather large wooden box.

The wooden box was placed on the auction table, and the female martial artist opened it to reveal its interior.

It was a crimson red plant tuber, about 20 centimeters in length and as thick as an infant’s arm.

‘As soon as it was exposed to the air, a scorching aura emanated from it.

“Buddha Flame Root?”

Gu Zhanlin’s surprised voice sounded.

“Nice!”

On the stage, the thick-browed old man glanced at Gu Zhanlin and laughed heartily. “This is a fire-attribute precious herb. It’s naturally formed, and can be fused with any true energy, the Buddha Flame Root!

“Briends, if you need to add a flame attribute to your internal energy, or if you already have attributes such as flame, or pure sun, you can buy it to strengthen yourself.

“The starting bid for the Buddha Flame Root is 200 million Great Yu dollars. Each markup must not be less than five million dollars.”

“300 million!”

“350 million!”

The crowd broke into an uproar.

However, compared to the Soul Nurturing Stone, the Flame Buddha Root only reached 500 million, and no one else continued bidding.

This was because the price had peaked.

The effects of the Buddha Flame Root were indeed miraculous; it could increase the flame attribute of one’s true energy.

But they were not necessary, and came with conditions.

One had to have true energy attributes that were compatible in order to fuse them.

With the water, ice, or Yin attributes, fusing them would be courting death.

Therefore, 500 million Great Yu dollars was basically the maximum.

This 500 million dollars was still Su Jingxing’s bid.

As expected, he won the bid.

The Heaven Trampling True Energy met the requirements for fusion, and Su Jingxing also wanted to add the flame attribute.

Even though the fusion wouldn’t contribute much to the might of his true energy, in the future, when destroying all traces, he wouldn’t need to douse the corpses with Corpse Dissolving Liquid anymore.

That’s right. Su Jingxing’s plan was simple.

He wanted to fuse with the Buddha Flame Root to facilitate the eradication of corpses.

Cough cough!

“Everyone, here’s the last item.”

On the stage, the old man with the thick eyebrows raised his voice.

“believe everyone is here for this item.

“Twon’t beat around the bush. I just want to tell everyone that this item will not disappoint!”

With that said, he gestured for the two female martial artists waiting by the side to carry a large wooden chest up the stage.

All eyes were on the two of them.

‘When the wooden chest was on the stage, the thick-browed old man waved his hand and a female martial artist opened it.

An item that everyone was familiar with was immediately exposed!
