Old Five is a Goose.
## Chapter 980: Chance Encounter
Nizi Jian looked quite delicate and pretty, yet she carried a hint of murderous aura and allure. These elements combined added a unique charm to this woman.
"My name is Nizi Jian. Here, I represent the Dilu Commerce and thank all the guests for attending this auction. Before the auction begins, I would also like to congratulate all the Dao friends who wish to participate in the Nirvana Learning Academy assessment. May you all overcome obstacles and achieve good results. I believe all of you guests are aware that this auction is also being held for the Nirvana Learning Academy assessment a year from now. I hope all of you will be able to bid for the items you like. Now, let the auction begin."
After Nizi Jian finished speaking, she waved her hand, and a jade box landed in her hand. She raised the jade box and turned it around before saying, "The first item for auction is a Level One Divine Spiritual Fruit called the Yu Shen Fruit. I believe everyone is aware of the effects of the Yu Shen Fruit. In theory, each fruit can allow a Yu Shen Realm cultivator to advance by one level. At most, only two fruits can be consumed. Now, there are two Yu Shen Fruits in this jade box. The starting price is fifty thousand high-grade divine crystals, and each bid must be at least one thousand high-grade divine crystals..."
As soon as Nizi Jian's voice fell, bidding sounds came one after another.
Mo Wuji, however, knew about this kind of spiritual fruit. He had seen a Yu Shen Fruit tree about to ripen in the newly hatched Divine Domain Nest. However, at that time, he was facing an encirclement by dozens of cultivators from the Luan Hun Divine Manor and the Jiu Yan Divine Sect. His life was in danger, so he was in no mood to care about the Yu Shen Fruit.
However, the value of the Yu Shen Fruit was very high. It could be said that among all the Level One Divine Spiritual Herbs, the Yu Shen Fruit had the greatest value. The value of most Level Three and even Level Four Divine Spiritual Herbs was far less than that of the Yu Shen Fruit.
He really wanted to buy these two Yu Shen Fruits. He only had a total of two hundred thousand high-grade divine crystals on him. Before he even started bidding, the price of these two Yu Shen Fruits had already reached one hundred and twenty thousand.
Soon, someone bought these two Yu Shen Fruits for a price of one hundred and seventy thousand high-grade divine crystals. Mo Wuji didn't bid. With the bidding momentum of that guy who bid one hundred and seventy thousand, even if he bid two hundred thousand, he would quickly be outbid again. The only use of his bidding would be to offend another person. He was here to buy Rootless Divine Iron. Offending people was certain, but Mo Wuji didn't want to offend people over the Yu Shen Fruit.
Two Yu Shen Fruits were auctioned for one hundred and seventy thousand. Mo Wuji was also sighing in his heart. The people who could afford Yu Shen Fruits were definitely not the people who would eat them.
"The second item for auction is a divine ability called Rain Arrow. The starting price for this divine ability is one hundred thousand high-grade divine crystals, and each bid must be at least five thousand high-grade divine crystals..."
Hearing about the Rain Arrow divine ability, Mo Wuji really wanted it.
His Wind Evasion Technique had been evolved into five levels. Now that he had advanced to the third level, Wind Shift, it had saved his life many times. Moreover, the fourth and fifth levels of the Wind Evasion Technique were Wind Attraction and Wind Summoning respectively, which surpassed the scope of evasion techniques.
After knowing about the Wind Summoning level, Mo Wuji really wanted to get another rain-type divine ability. In any case, summoning wind and rain was something he longed for very much. Unfortunately, he had also bought several rain-type or water-type cultivation methods and divine abilities, but none of them allowed him to comprehend the level of summoning rain.
Now that a rain-type divine ability had appeared in the Divine Realm, it might allow him to capture the true summoning rain divine ability.
This thought only flashed through Mo Wuji's mind and quickly disappeared. Because the price of the Rain Arrow had exceeded two hundred thousand and was still rising. In the end, this divine ability was bought for two hundred and seventy thousand high-grade divine crystals. Mo Wuji, who was short on money, could only continue to be an onlooker.
The third item for auction was a near-high-grade flying divine artifact. Mo Wuji wanted it just as much, but he still couldn't afford it.
The fourth item for auction was a lightning-type divine ability. Mo Wuji wanted it, but he still couldn't afford it.
...
Later on, Mo Wuji simply closed his eyes. There were indeed a lot of good things at this auction. Out of ten items, seven were things he wanted, but unfortunately, he was too poor and couldn't afford any of them. He didn't need the few pills that he could afford.
Ten hours passed quickly. Mo Wuji was a little worried that the Rootless Divine Iron would be placed at the finale. Nizi Jian's clear voice made Mo Wuji excited again, "Because he heard that the auction item was a drop of Duckweed Water."
Duckweed Water wasn't Void Restraining Water, nor was it as precious as Void Restraining Water. Void Restraining Water was one of the five great acquired materials in the Divine Realm, something comparable to Rootless Divine Iron.
And Duckweed Water was just an extremely rare and scarce treasure. In terms of value, it was equivalent to a divine ability.
Duckweed Water was rare because it originated between two realms. Rootless water from between two realms had to merge together to form Duckweed Water. This kind of rootless water wasn't referring to rainwater. Rainwater originated from clouds, so it was originally water with roots.
In the cultivation world, rootless water referred to water droplets formed by the fusion of spatial water-based rules and Dao runes. This water droplet was called rootless water before it landed on the ground.
One could imagine how rare this was. Generally, there was a void between two realms. The rules in the void were chaotic, so where would rootless water come from? Even if a drop of rootless water occasionally formed, it would either land on a meteorite or turn into nothingness, or it would be taken away by someone. Not to mention that rootless water had to form simultaneously in two interfaces and then merge together.
This could only happen when a void crack suddenly appeared at the intersection of two realms. The two realms in this void crack had to form rootless water at the same time, and then they had to merge together to form Duckweed Water.
Therefore, the value of Duckweed Water wasn't too high, but it was very rare.
The only use of Duckweed Water was to add it during weapon refinement. The magic weapon refined in this way would contain a built-in divine ability. This divine ability would be controlled by the person who refined this magic weapon.
The reason why Mo Wuji wanted this item was because he planned to refine a long halberd using Rootless Divine Iron. If his long halberd could fuse with a built-in divine ability, his strength would be greatly enhanced.
"The price of this drop of Duckweed Water is eighty thousand high-grade divine crystals, and each bid must be at least five thousand high-grade divine crystals." Nizi Jian's voice fell.
Duckweed Water was something that anyone could use. The reason why the price wasn't as high as the Rain Arrow was because Duckweed Water looked precious, but most of the time, the condensed divine ability wasn't very strong. It might even condense some very low-level divine abilities. If the weapon refinement wasn't controlled well, it might not even condense a divine ability. Buying it would be equivalent to buying it for nothing.
Without hesitation, Mo Wuji directly added twenty thousand and entered one hundred thousand high-grade divine crystals on the bidding screen.
Before Mo Wuji's price was revealed, the price of Duckweed Water was refreshed and became one hundred and twenty thousand high-grade divine crystals.
It seemed that he wasn't the only one competing for the Duckweed Water. Mo Wuji felt a little uneasy and directly entered one hundred and eighty thousand high-grade divine crystals.
Perhaps because Mo Wuji jumped from one hundred and twenty thousand to one hundred and eighty thousand, the price of Duckweed Water paused at one hundred and eighty thousand high-grade divine crystals.
After waiting for three breaths and seeing that no one continued to raise the price, Nizi Jian began to call out the price, "One hundred and eighty thousand high-grade divine crystals once, one hundred and eighty thousand... Someone has continued to raise the price. The price of Duckweed Water is already two hundred thousand high-grade divine crystals. Are there any other Dao friends who want to continue to raise the price?"
Before Mo Wuji could get excited, Nizi Jian's words brought him back to reality. He barely had two hundred thousand high-grade divine crystals in total, and now the bid on the screen was already two hundred thousand high-grade divine crystals.
"Two hundred and ten thousand high-grade divine crystals!" The price was refreshed again.
He could give up the Yu Dao Fruit, he could give up the flying magic weapon, and he could also give up the rain-type divine ability. But he had to get the Duckweed Water.
Mo Wuji scanned his Immortal World with his divine sense and then took out a Shape Dao Fruit and placed it on the item display screen. Then, he wrote eighty thousand high-grade divine crystals on the bidding screen, plus a Shape Dao Fruit.
The Shape Dao Fruit was a Dao Fruit that couldn't be graded. Of course, according to the definition of Dao Fruits in the Divine Continent, the Shape Dao Fruit could only be considered a very special pseudo-Dao Fruit, because its effect was very singular and couldn't be compared with the real Dao Fruits of the Divine Continent.
However, the effect of the Shape Dao Fruit wasn't pseudo at all. This kind of Dao Fruit could allow demon beasts to perfectly transform into human form.
The Great Dao led to the same destination, and one of them was that any life that could cultivate would eventually cultivate into a human form. The human form was the form that best fit the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.
Many demon beasts didn't transform perfectly during the process of cultivation, which eventually led to their Dao path being blocked. There were also some demon beasts that couldn't transform no matter how high they cultivated.
Except for some demon beasts that couldn't transform due to the restrictions of the Heavenly Dao, the Shape Dao Fruit could allow demon beasts to perfectly transform.
Mo Wuji wasn't very clear about the price of the Shape Dao Fruit, so he used eighty thousand high-grade divine crystals, plus a Shape Dao Fruit. If this price didn't work, he would try to use 100 million-year Immortal Wood Marrow. In any case, he had to get this drop of Duckweed Water, and he had a premonition that this drop of Duckweed Water would be very useful to him.
Mo Wuji's bid quickly appeared on the big screen, and a graphic of a Shape Dao Fruit as white as snow also appeared on the big screen.
The price fluctuation on the bidding screen immediately stopped, and Nizi Jian also stuttered a bit. Shape Dao Fruits were easier to obtain than Duckweed Water, but the value of Shape Dao Fruits was definitely not lower than Duckweed Water. In the Divine Continent, there were too many cultivators who wanted to obtain Shape Dao Fruits.
Nizi Jian's pause was only for a moment. A smile appeared on her face as she said, "My Dilu Commerce accepts this bid. This drop of Duckweed Water will be obtained by Dao Friend 8732."
Mo Wuji immediately sent his eighty thousand high-grade divine crystals and a Shape Dao Fruit into the transfer plate. He guessed that his price was a bit high. Because he didn't know the specific price of the Shape Dao Fruit.
After Mo Wuji's things were transferred away, a drop of Duckweed Water instantly appeared in front of him.
Mo Wuji didn't even look at the Duckweed Water and directly put this drop of Duckweed Water into his storage ring. After leaving the auction, he would send the Duckweed Water into the Immortal World as soon as possible.
"That Dao Friend just now, if you have any more Shape Dao Fruits, my Danqian Commerce can purchase them at several times the price." An abrupt voice reached Mo Wuji's location.
Mo Wuji didn't react at all. He treated this voice as farting.
