Gong Kai didn't answer Mo Wuji, but stared at him with wide eyes. Fifth-grade divine spirit herbs, and the more the better, did he think fifth-grade divine spirit herbs were like wild vegetables?

After a long while, Gong Kai finally caught his breath and said, "This fellow cultivator, do you know the price of fifth-grade divine spirit herbs?"

Mo Wuji was embarrassed; he really didn't know the price of fifth-grade divine spirit herbs.

A trace of disappointment flashed in Gong Kai's eyes. So this guy really didn't know. Despite his disdain for Mo Wuji, he still explained, "Even the worst fifth-grade divine spirit herb is worth over ten thousand high-grade divine crystals. If it's a mid-grade fifth-grade divine spirit herb, the value is basically over thirty thousand. The most top-grade fifth-grade divine spirit herbs, like the Bright Jade Divine Flower, wouldn't be surprising to fetch millions of high-grade divine crystals at auction."

Hearing this, Mo Wuji suddenly regretted a little. He should have brought that Bright Jade Divine Flower from Chi Chuan. With that divine spirit herb, he could definitely buy a pile of fifth-grade divine spirit herbs.

Then Mo Wuji remembered that Chi Bing. That woman was truly wealthy, actually having nearly two hundred fifth-grade divine spirit herbs, including treasures like the Bright Jade Divine Flower, which are hard to come by.

He really didn't know how many dangerous places this woman had ventured to in order to obtain so many divine spirit herbs.

But Mo Wuji also thought it was normal. If this woman didn't like adventure, she wouldn't have gone to the Silence Sea, ultimately leading to the destruction of her spiritual roots and meridians. "A constant walker by the river is bound to get his shoes wet."

Mo Wuji also guessed that Chi Bing's strength must be astonishing, at least not fearing many in the same realm. Only those who constantly risked their lives had the ability to crush their peers.

Just like him, he could instantly kill his peers, not only because his Immortal Mortal Dao could nurture everything, but also because he was constantly struggling in the face of death.

He almost died obtaining the Wheel of Life and Death, and he was also schemed against obtaining the Seven World Finger. Where did he not risk his life to obtain other divine abilities like the Wind Escape Technique, the Four Paths of the Heavy Halberd, and so on?

How many people in the cultivation world had been wanted and surrounded by dozens of large and small sects? How many people at the Grand Yi Immortal stage had been besieged by several Grand Immortal Emperors? And how many people at the early God Nascent stage had been besieged by dozens of late God Nascent and Heavenly God cultivators, and even targeted by a God King?

He had experienced all of these things, and he had overcome them all. That's why he could instantly kill his peers and fight against opponents of higher levels.

No matter how powerful a Dao technique is, if it's nurtured indoors, it will eventually lose its sharpness and become ordinary. If he had to choose again, Mo Wuji would still not hesitate to do those things that offended powerful individuals. There are no strong individuals who enjoy success without effort, nor are there strong individuals who emerge from secluded cultivation. Being chased and walking on the edge of death had also tempered his will and experience.

"I don't need anything too good. I don't have many divine crystals on me, but I have this. See how much it's worth?" Mo Wuji said, taking out a piece of purple Silence Dao Sand.

He had obtained four pieces of this purple Silence Dao Sand, one piece of gold, and the rest were all in shades of grey, orange, and cyan.

Mo Wuji was most optimistic about the golden Silence Dao Sand. He had never seen golden Silence Dao Sand in the jade slips and records of the Cyan Cloth God King; they only mentioned four-colored Silence Dao Sand. According to the records, purple Silence Dao Sand could allow World Gods to comprehend the God King realm, so the golden Silence Dao Sand was very likely to allow God Kings to comprehend the God Unifying realm.

"Purple Silence Dao Sand?" Gong Kai excitedly tried to grab Mo Wuji's Silence Dao Sand. But before his hand could land on it, Mo Wuji had taken the Silence Dao Sand away.

An awkward expression appeared on Gong Kai's face. "I'm sorry, it's just that purple Silence Dao Sand is so rare that I acted a little inappropriately."

Mo Wuji smiled faintly, not answering Gong Kai.

Gong Kai was, after all, a steward of a business building. Grabbing his things without his permission was clearly not in accordance with the rules.

"Steward Gong, how much is this Silence Dao Sand worth?" Mo Wuji asked.

Gong Kai pondered slightly and then said, "How about this, I'll give you forty fifth-grade divine spirit herbs?"

Mo Wuji chuckled, directly putting away the Silence Dao Sand. At the same time, he stood up. "In that case, I'll take my leave."

"This fellow cultivator, why are you suddenly leaving?" Gong Kai was a little anxious.

Purple Silence Dao Sand was even more precious in God Continent than in God Domain. God Continent had long discovered the use of Silence Dao Sand, while God Domain had only just discovered its use. Over the years, every time Clear Sea appeared, people would go to search for purple Silence Dao Sand. After so many years, how much Silence Dao Sand could still be remaining on the outskirts of the Silence Sea?

"I sincerely came here to buy divine spirit herbs, but you wanted to deceive me, so I can only choose another business building to trade with," Mo Wuji said with some displeasure.

Gong Kai said somewhat awkwardly, "How about this, you make your own offer. There's a saying that 'ask for the sky, bargain on the ground.'"

"Daoist Gong, which do you think is more valuable, purple Silence Dao Sand or the Bright Jade Divine Flower?" Mo Wuji asked, staring at Gong Kai.

Gong Kai hesitated for a moment and said, "They should be about the same."

Mo Wuji sneered inwardly. Although he believed that the value of the Bright Jade Divine Flower was far higher than that of the Silence Dao Sand, after all, the Silence Dao Sand might be condensed from someone else's Dao rhythm, while the Bright Jade Divine Flower was condensed from the Dao laws of heaven and earth.

But in God Continent, he was certain that the vast majority of people would think that the value of the Silence Dao Sand was far higher than that of the Bright Jade Divine Flower. If the values were similar, Chi Bing would definitely not have risked her life to go to the Silence Sea to find purple Silence Dao Sand.

The main reason was that the Bright Jade Divine Flower needed to be refined into the Divine Jade Pill to be useful. And the Divine Jade Pill was one of the most difficult fifth-grade divine pills to refine. This kind of divine pill couldn't be refined by ordinary fifth-grade divine pill kings. In God Continent, how many fifth-grade divine pill kings were there? Not to mention fifth-grade divine pill kings who could refine the fifth-grade Divine Jade Pill.

Obtaining one of these divine flowers was already considered great luck. Once the refinement failed, few people could find a second one.

Mo Wuji didn't expose Gong Kai's words, but said faintly, "Let's go with about the same price then. Steward Gong just said that a Bright Jade Divine Flower can fetch several million high-grade divine crystals at auction. I don't want too much. Your business building only needs to give me three hundred fifth-grade divine spirit herbs."

"No, three hundred is too many, at most two hundred and fifty," Gong Kai said immediately.

Mo Wuji didn't waste words. "Alright, two hundred and fifty it is."

"Fellow cultivator, you're indeed a straightforward person. Please wait a moment." Gong Kai readily agreed to Mo Wuji's words and gave him a smile before turning around and leaving the room.

Mo Wuji suddenly had a bad feeling. But he also knew that in this kind of business building, if you agreed to the other party's request, you had to agree, which was called a verbal contract. Otherwise, he would be the one to suffer in the end, unless his strength could easily crush the other party's business building.

Mo Wuji didn't have to wait long before Gong Kai returned to the room, handing Mo Wuji a storage bag. "Daoist Mo, this is two hundred and fifty fifth-grade divine spirit herbs. Please check them."

Mo Wuji's divine sense landed on the storage bag, and his face turned ugly. Gong Kai had given him two hundred and fifty fifth-grade divine spirit herbs, but at least a hundred of them were of one kind, and Mo Wuji recognized this kind of divine spirit herb, called the Nirvana Yuan Divine Herb.

The Nirvana Yuan Divine Herb was indeed a fifth-grade divine spirit herb, but in terms of value, this thing wasn't even as good as a first-grade divine spirit herb. Because this kind of divine spirit herb couldn't be used for alchemy. It only had one use, which was actually a side effect, which was to Nirvana the divine essence of cultivators, and it had to be swallowed to Nirvana the divine essence. No one would swallow a divine spirit herb that would Nirvana their own divine essence. Even the most idiotic person wouldn't be so idiotic as to do that.

Gong Kai said with a smile, "The Nirvana Yuan Divine Herb has a great effect. It can even Nirvana the divine essence of God Kings. In a fight between two people, you can have the other person take the Nirvana Yuan Divine Herb to reduce their strength."

Mo Wuji's expression returned to normal. He said faintly, "Steward Gong is indeed clever. Next time, if Steward Gong is unfavorable to me, I must let Steward Gong voluntarily take the Nirvana Yuan Divine Herb before fighting Steward Gong. It's a pity that your building only has these hundred or so Nirvana Yuan Divine Herbs; otherwise, I might have been able to get two hundred and fifty Nirvana Yuan Divine Herbs."

Without waiting for Gong Kai to speak, Mo Wuji threw the purple Silence Dao Sand to Gong Kai and then turned around and left.

He vaguely felt several obscure divine senses scanning around here, perhaps just waiting for him to act up.

Although Mo Wuji thought that it wasn't unreasonable to exchange the purple Silence Dao Sand for a hundred or so inferior fifth-grade divine spirit herbs, he wouldn't forget being schemed against by Gong Kai like this. One day, he would get even.

He was also forced to do this. Only places like the Danqian Business Building could come up with hundreds of fifth-grade divine spirit herbs.

In other words, even if other business buildings could come up with them, Mo Wuji wouldn't dare to go. Mainly, he had no roots or foundation. If a large business building like the Danqian Business Building was going to attack him, other business buildings might be even more unscrupulous. Even outright robbery wasn't impossible.

After leaving the Danqian Business Building, Mo Wuji directly used a Wind Shift to disappear, changed into an old man's attire, and entered a very small inn.

The biggest advantage of Wind Shift was not that it was fast, but that it was silent and traceless.

…

After a quiet night, Mo Wuji went to the auction early the next morning.

Seat eighty-seven in the row was considered very far back, and seat one hundred and thirty-two was in the very corner.

Mo Wuji didn't care about these things. As long as he could trade, and his chances of buying Rootless Divine Iron with golden Silence Dao Sand shouldn't be very high. If he had to compare, it would be a comparison between purple Silence Dao Sand and the Bright Jade Divine Flower.

Moreover, no amount of Bright Jade Divine Flowers could compare to Rootless Divine Iron.

As soon as he sat down, Mo Wuji activated the restrictions around his seat.

Although it was a seat in the hall, the area was not small. In front of him was a bidding screen and an item display screen, as well as a small transmission plate.

The entire auction venue was circular, and like most auction houses, the auction table was in the very center.

Mo Wuji waited for about half an hour. When the hall was full, a man in yellow clothes appeared on the auction stage in the center of the auction venue.

The yellow-clothed man cupped his fists around him and then said, "All guests who have entered the venue, please be seated. The auction is about to begin. Before the auction is over, no one is allowed to leave the auction venue. If there is any malicious bidding that cannot be transacted, there will be no mercy. This auction will be hosted by Ni Zijian, steward of the Dilu Chamber of Commerce. Now the auction begins."
