BXBX NOVEL Chapter 269 - 168: Auction Begins_2
“Already discovered?”
Although he guessed the cave dwelling might be discovered, he still held on to
a trace of luck.
However, at the moment, that trace of luck was completely extinguished by Su Nan, leaving him somewhat disappointed.
One could imagine that for a cave dwelling that had already been searched, even if there were still things that had been overlooked, their value would certainly not be too great, nor too numerous.
That said, considering the old man wanted to buy the treasure map, there should be some value to that cave dwelling, at least the value was definitely above fifteen hundred drops of Spirit-level monster essence blood.
“As long as I can find the cave dwelling, it’ll be enough. Ordinary people might not be able to find anything inside, but I’m different. As long as there are treasures inside, I’ll be able to find them.
Thinking of his ability to foresee the future and actively trigger adventure events, Su Nan was full of confidence.
He could use his foreknowledge to search in the cave dwelling, and in doing so, he could trigger good fortune. Even if his good fortune wasn’t triggered, he could just actively trigger it himself.
[You refuse the old man once again, and tell him that you plan to explore the cave dwelling yourself.]
[The old man has no choice but to stop pestering you, and instead tells you that he needs to pay a hundred points of Spirit-level monster essence blood for information related to the cave dwelling and its location.]
[Without any hesitation, you pay a hundred points of Spirit-level monster essence blood and learn the information you wanted.]
[The old man tells you that the cave dwelling you’re looking for is located in Hongshi Town of Red Mountain Prefecture, not far from Tianyun County. Five hundred years ago, the cave dwelling was discovered on Three Pillars Mountain in Hongshi Town.]
[It was the cave dwelling of an ancient figure called the Cave Immortal, within which lies the inheritance of the Cave Immortal. However, to enter the cave dwelling, a specific key is required.]
[The appearance of the key is not fixed; it might be a knife, or a sword, and the treasure map in your hand is one such key.]
[Since the discovery of the cave dwelling five hundred years ago, more than thirty keys have been found one after another. Each key can open a passage to the cave dwelling, allowing ten martial artists to enter.]
[It is said that those who first entered the cave dwelling obtained a great amount of treasures. However, as more and more keys appeared, the cave dwelling was searched over and over again, the items found became fewer and fewer, and those who entered later obtained nothing, even losing their lives within.]
“Red Mountain Prefecture? Isn’t Qian Yu in Red Mountain Prefecture?” Su Nan was astonished.
There was a lot of information about the recruitment of players by the major guilds on the forum, and he remembered that Qian Yu’s Nine Heavens Guild was in Red Mountain Prefecture.
-Red Mountain Prefecture is just next to Tianyun County, it’s not far away.
Maybe I can find a chance to go and have a look.”
Su Nan’s eyes flickered as he felt the changes in the bloodlines within his body and made a plan in his heart.
His Life Essence Blood was slowly condensing, and his spirit, energy, and mind strength were rapidly being consumed.
Three hours later, the power of his Divine Soul and Essence Energy were almost exhausted, but the fusion of several bloodlines’ Primordial Qi still remained plentiful.
He quickly took out a bottle of diluted Life Essence and continued to condense
his Life Essence Blood.
Another three hours passed.
Su Nan could feel that in his heart, a soybean-sized Life Essence Blood had initially condensed.
“Today’s task is considered complete.” He stopped condensing his Life Essence Blood and stood up.
He glanced at the time, only a few minutes left until midnight.
He simply decided to wait for the task to refresh.
Finally, as midnight arrived, his consumed strength was instantaneously restored.
The task refreshes.
[Daily Task 1: Hunt down and kill a Mortal-level demon.]
Task Difficulty: One-star
[Daily Task 2: Bid for any item in the Tiangong Pavilion.]
Task Difficulty: One-star
[Daily Task 3: Hunt down a Paper Puppet Demon.]
Task Difficulty: Three-star
“I actually triggered the Tiangong Pavilion task, which must be related to my inquiry about the auction yesterday.”
Wang Nan’s task appeared before his eyes, leaving Su Nan somewhat taken aback.
This task was too simple for him, almost equivalent to being handed to him for free. Even if there wasn’t this task, he would still go to the auction at the
Tiangong Pavilion.
“The task of hunting down a Paper Puppet Demon has appeared again. It seems that this task will probably continue to refresh unless I completely kill those demons.”
His gaze fell on the last task, and he couldn’t help but speculate.
There were five Paper Puppet Demons in the City God Temple. If he could hunt one every day, gaining thirty demon power, it wouldn’t be bad.
However, what worried him was whether hunting the Paper Puppet Demons every day would completely anger those three demon kings.
“I can’t worry about that much now, hunting one is still better than none.” Su Nan didn’t dwell on it too much, and he wasn’t afraid even if the Demon Kings were indeed angered by his actions.
He had a Perfect Resurrection Card and wasn’t afraid of dying once.
Continuing to look at Zhang Yang’s tasks.
[Daily Task 1: Eliminate any Mortal-level Demon in Tianyun City]
Task Difficulty: One-star
[Daily Task 2: Eliminate any Spirit-level Demon in Tianyun City]
Task Difficulty: Two-stars
[Daily Task 3: Avenge the Former Demon Hunting Bureau Chief]
Task Difficulty: Three-stars Compared to yesterday, Zhang Yang’s three tasks haven’t changed much, still mainly focused on “Avenge the Former Demon Hunting Bureau Chief.”
This taskhas already refreshed for the fourth time, and in Su Nan’s view, this will be the last time. He will complete this task today.
Continuing to look at Lang Thirteen’s tasks.
Because yesterday’s “Take the position of Bear Rock” task was completed, Lang Thirteen’s three tasks finally had a new face today.
[Daily Task 1: Hunt down five Outsiders]
Task Difficulty: One-star
[Daily Task 2: Hunt down thirty Outsiders]
Task Difficulty: Two-stars
[Daily Task 3: Green Wolf Demon King’s Trouble]
Task Difficulty: Three-stars
“The Green Wolf Demon King’s Trouble? It’s actually related to the Green Wolf Demon King?”
Su Nan frowned, if possible, he did not want to deal with the Green Wolf Demon King, even though he now had Hu Xiaotian, the Demon Emperor, as his big brother.
After all, the Skywolf Clan Princess was still in him, and if he had too much contact with the Green Wolf Demon King, there is a high possibility that something might be discovered.
But now a task related to the Green Wolf Demon King has appeared, which left him in a bit of a dilemma.
-Let’s take it one step at a time and focus on completing the other tasks for
now.”
Switching roles back to Wang Nan, his gaze fell on “Bid on any item from Tiangong Pavilion.”
The original auction was scheduled for yesterday, but due to the demon clan’s attack on the Heavenly Dome Divine Prohibition Array Node, the auction was delayed and rescheduled for today at noon.
It’s currently midnight in the real world, and it’s noon in the game, which is when the auction is about to start.
Without time to think more, he quickly changed his appearance and headed towards Tiangong Pavilion.
“What can I do for you, Young Master?”
As usual, as soon as he entered Tiangong Pavilion, the receptionist girl came to greet him.
“I want to participate in your auction today.
“The auction is about to begin. Please follow me, Young Master.”
The auction at Tiangong Pavilion is held underground.
This is a huge space of five to six hundred square meters. Centered around the auction stage, individual rooms are arranged in a circle on all sides. There are eight floors in total, with a total of one hundred and twenty rooms.
The girl led Su Nan to a room number 309 on the third floor.
Sitting in the room and looking down, one can have a clear view of the auction stage below.
At this point, the auction hasn’t started yet and Su Nan doesn’t want to wait idly, so he began the prediction.
[You arrive at Tiangong Pavilion’s auction house and prepare to bid on the Divine Power Vein, which will be auctioned off today. This prediction is divided into two parts: the first part allows trading with Mortal-level Essence Blood, and the second part allows trading with Spirit-level or higher Essence Blood.] [An old man is hosting the auction this time. One minute later, the first part of the auction will begin.]
[The old man takes out the first item up for auction, which is a knife. According to the auction host, this knife is made of a material called Blood Poison Stone.]
[Because Blood Poison Stone contains strong poison, being injured by this knife will cause the blood poison to spread throughout the body within moments, dealing massive damage to both Mortal-level warriors and demons.]
[You do not bid, and in the end, the owner of Room 103 buys the item for twenty drops of Mortal-level Demon Essence Blood.]
[Two minutes later, the second item up for auction is a Fire Pattern Bow.] [According to the auction host, the limbs and bowstring of this bow are made from tendons of a Spirit-level Peak demon, which can use the Essence Blood of a demon with the power of fire to unleash the bow’s attack combined with the fire power.]
[You still do not bid, and three minutes later, the Fire Pattern Bow is purchased by the owner of Room 304 for thirty-five drops of Mortal-level Demon Essence Blood.]
End of the first prediction.
Begin the second prediction..
