Alchemy Emperor of the Divine Dao

Chapter 4226: Exchange

About ten million years ago?

Everyone flipped through history. However, a considerable number of people looked confused.

”Thatʼs right. That is a lapse in history.” The auctioneer nodded, ”It is rumored that there was a Great Emperor in that era, but there was also a storm of darkness, which caused a great catastrophe. In fact, in the North Heavenly Realm...”

He didnʼt continue, but everyone knew that it was at that time that the North Heavenly Realm damaged their fortune, causing the overall overall level of cultivation of an entire Heavenly Realm to drop drastically. From then onwards, the North Heavenly Realm had become the weakest of all four Heavenly Realms.

Something that could affect a Heavenly Realm, and the effects had continued for so many years, what kind of great event had happened all those years ago?

There were great elites who had been studying historical records, and there were even people who were tracing back time, but up until now, this was still a great mystery.

Then, could this piece of beast hide possibly expose this lapse in history?

Ling Han knew very well that this was definitely not a historical record, but the fifth corner of the Destructive Energy Spirit Diagram!

”I have to clarify first. Though this beast hide originates from the Divine Beast, the divine essence within has long since been refined. If you want to refine it into a Spirit Tool, hoho, that would be absolutely impossible,” the auctioneer said with a smile.

This caused some Venerate Tier elites to be disappointed. They indeed wanted to move, and obtain the hide to refine it into a tool, or use it to comprehend the Heavenly Dao. Because a Divine Beast was born by nature, it was naturally the closest to Dao.

However, it had already lost its divine essence, so what use was it?

”Now, this beast hide only has the characteristic of being sturdy. If it is wrapped around oneʼs body, it would be difficult for sharp weapons to cause harm,” the auctioneer said.

This caused all the Venerates to shake their heads. For cultivation levels like theirs, aside from Venerate Tier precious tools that could increase battle prowess, their attacks stimulated the Regulations of heaven and earth, so how could they allow a sharp weapon to strike them?

Thus, this effect of the beast hide was equivalent to nothing.

Good!

Meanwhile, Ling Han was cheering internally. He hoped that the auctioneer would lower the value of this piece of beast hide as much as possible. In that way, there would be no need for him to worry that it would be fought over by those Venerate Tier elites.

”However, no matter what, this is still the skin of a Divine Beast. Furthermore, the seals are incredibly mysterious. Who knows, it may contain an earth-shattering secret.” The auctioneer changed the topic. He could not keep talking about shortcomings.

However, many of the people here were the Venerate Tier elites of Imperial Clans. If he deliberately didnʼt speak of its shortcomings, he would also attract great trouble in the future.

”Alright, the starting bid is 1,000,000 Dao Stones,” the auctioneer said.

A million Dao Stones was not a small sum, but if it was used to buy a piece of Divine Beast hide, it was not a loss either.

”1,000,000.” A Venerate Tier elite said with a smile, then said, ”Iʼm buying it for collection. Itʼs at least a Divine Beast hide.”

This caused all the Venerate Tier elites to laugh as well, but no one placed a bid. Without divine essence, what use was a Divine Beast hide other than for show?

Oh, thatʼs right. Make some clothes out of this beast hide for his grandson, so he could use it to protect himself?

F***, then it might as well be a Substitution Seal. What need was there for a million Dao Stones? Do you think that Venerate Tiers could easily obtain a large number of Dao Stones?

”1,100,000.” Someone raised the bid.

It was not Ling Han, but Ding Shu.

Ling Hanʼs heart clenched. How could he have forgotten about this guy?

Others might not be able to tell how valuable this hide was, but Ding Shu had cultivated Destructive Energy, so how could he not know the use of this hide?

That Venerate Tier whose bid had been increased was startled. He had not thought that there would be a junior competing with him. He thought for a moment, and couldnʼt help but smile in spite of himself. In any case, it was just playing around, so there was no need for him to lower himself to the level of a junior.

He did not speak, and gave up the competition.

”Itʼs already 1,100,000. Is there anyone else bidding?” The auctioneer swept his gaze over the masses, slightly displeased. For better or worse, this was still a Divine Beast hide.

Fine then.

”1.2 million,” Ling Han said.

”1,300,000.” There was no need for the auctioneer to start the bidding, and Ding Shu immediately increased the bid, appearing to be determined to win.

”1.4 million.”

”1.5 million.”

Ling Han opened his mouth, and Ding Shu immediately increased the bid again, aggressively.

Yi, wasnʼt it said that the Buddhist Race of the four Heavenly Realms were a family, and would love and support each other?

Everyone was watching the show. They had not thought that this piece of Divine Beast hide would actually be the most fiercely contested between the two Buddha Sons of the Buddhist

Race.

Yi, was this really some kind of treasure? Otherwise, why would they be fighting so fiercely over it?

However, even the great elites of the Imperial Clans didnʼt notice anything off. Otherwise, how could they possibly put it up for auction? From this aspect, it didnʼt seem to have any value to be contested over in the auction.

”2,900,000.” Shi Yuanzhen spoke up, becoming the third competitor.

What was going on?

Everyone faltered for a moment before coming to a realization.

Shi Yuanzhen had been horribly defeated by Ling Han and Ding Shu, and his reputation had been ruined. He could not get his revenge in terms of battle prowess, so he had to come at this time to disgust the two of them.

”3,000,000.” Ding Shu was completely unconcerned, showing his wealth.

”3.5 million.” Shi Yuanzhen began to increase the bid greatly.

”Four million.” Ding Shu immediately followed, not giving Ling Han the chance to speak.

”4.5 million!”

...

A thought flashed in Ling Hanʼs head. What need was there for him to compete with Ding Shu? He had cultivated a total of four corners of Destructive Energy Spirit Diagram, and one of the corners was used for the exchange with Ding Shu, while the other was what he had gotten from Ding Shu in exchange. Thus, he still had two corners of Spirit Diagram that he could use

for another trade.

Thus, so what if this corner of the Spirit Diagram was given to Ding Shu? He could completely

trade for it.

In this way, it was a win-win situation.

Good.

Ling Han didnʼt say anything else. If Ding Shu couldnʼt compete with Shi Yuanzhen, it

wouldnʼt be too late for him to place another bid.

Shi Yuanzhen increased the bid a few times, pushing the price of the Divine Beast hide up to six million Dao Stones. He did not dare to continue playing, fearing that Ding Shu would suddenly give in. Then, he would be compelled to pay for this piece of beast hide.

”Six million once.”

”Six million twice.”

”Six million, going thrice.”

”Deal.”

The auctioneer made the final bid. If it was six million, it just barely met his expectations.

Afterward, a few more treasures were placed on the stage. However, Ling Han wasnʼt interested in any of them. Those were only celestial techniques. He no longer lacked them. Unless he was given the Imperial Scroll, even an Imperial Technique would find it very difficult to attract his interest.

After all, he had already obtained quite a number of Imperial Techniques, so it was already

enough.

If it was the Imperial Scroll, the more it was, the better. This was a path that a Great Emperor had walked before, and had great reference value. Unfortunately, the Imperial Scroll was the foundation of an Imperial Clan. Who would put it up for auction?

ʼSigh, I can only look for other people like the Descending Heaven Holy Emperor,ʼ Ling Han

thought.

The auction this time round had ended successfully, and Ling Han immediately went to find

Ding Shu.

”There is indeed more than one corner of Spirit Diagram you possess!” Without waiting for Ling Han to speak, Ding Shu spoke first.

Otherwise, Ling Han wouldnʼt have given up so easily. Now, he was definitely here to trade.

Ling Han smiled faintly, and said, ”Youʼre so smart, so thereʼs no need for me to say anything

else. Letʼs

trade.”

”I havenʼt learnt it yet!” Ding Shu emphasized.

”Itʼs all right. You havenʼt learnt mine either,” Ling Han said with a smile. ”We can trade back

when Iʼm done. Isnʼt that the same?”

”Your words make a lot of sense. I actually canʼt refute them.” Ding Shu sighed. He kept

feeling that something was off.

Yi, wasnʼt it he who had bought this Spirit Diagram? Why was it Ling Han who would learn it

first?

However, he couldnʼt refuse the temptation of exchanging Spirit Diagrams with Ling Han, so he could only nod in agreement.
