Chapter 526: The Fifth Floor
It didn"t take long for Ye Xiao to reach the Hidden Demon Auction House.
It was a more than 100 meters wide three-floored building. There were two entrances to enter the auction house.
Ye Xiao randomly chose one and arrived in front of the entrance.
Like always, there were two guards guarding the entrance, and Ye Xiao was stopped by them. One of them asked Ye Xiao what he wanted and Ye Xiao told him that he was here for the invitation card.
The guard nodded his head and brought Ye Xiao inside a room and left by himself.
In this room, other than one long table and two chairs that were placed at the end of the table, there was nothing inside.
Ye Xiao sat down on one of them and waited for the demon of the auction house to come.
Not long after, a middle-aged demon arrived. He looked at Ye Xiao and sat down at the only other chair inside the room at the other end of the table.
Then he took out a red card and slide it towards Ye Xiao before saying: "This auction is different from other auctions. So, there is no VIP invitation card or something like that. There is only one kind of invitation card. You just need to pay 100,000 Blood Stones."
Ye Xiao nodded his head, took out a spatial ring that was filled with 100,000 Blood Stones, and gave pa.s.sed it to the demon. Then he asked, "What do you mean when you said this auction is different from other auctions."
The demon first took a look inside the spatial ring, then he shifted his gaze towards Ye Xiao with a smile and replied, "We have created a separate s.p.a.ce inside the Auction House at the place where the auction used to be held and placed all the auction items inside already. Every auction item is placed inside a protected ball and will be shown to everyone all at once."
"All you need to do is to place your bid on the item you want to buy. Others can also place their own bid but the winner will only be decided after the end of the auction. The ending time is 24 hours later than the starting time. It also means that you have to come and check the item you have placed your bid for from time to time. If you find that someone has placed a higher bid than you, you can again increase the bid."
"To place a bid, you have to use the invitation card in your hand. There is a special number on the invitation card that can use to place your bid. You will understand what to do after you come and attend the auction. I"ll not go into detail. The auction is going to be held in two days. That"s all. If you have something to ask, you can ask."
Ye Xiao nodded and thought for a while. Then he again took out a pill bottle filled with Life Force and gave it to the demon before saying, "I want to place this item for auction."
Ye Xiao had about 100 Million Blood Stones in his hand but he knew that this was far from enough. He needs to have more Blood Stones if he successfully wants to win the auction for Zhao Qing"er.
According to the information he got from the State Demon Tower, the demon who caught Zhao Qing"er and Miss Yi had sold Miss Yo to the Blood Demon Sect while he brought Zhao Qing"er to the Eastern Region and has placed her for auction as a slave.
Ye Xiao didn"t plan to let that demon off but before that, he had to win Zhao Qing"er back.
This was the biggest auction of the entire Green Blood Demon World that was held every 100 years. The security here was not something that the Blood Demon Sect could compare to and there was going to be more than 2 or 3 Dao Manifestation Realm Demons protecting all the items placed for the auction.
Moreover, according to the demon in front of him, everything has already been placed inside a separate s.p.a.ce that was impossible for any other demon or demonic cultivator to sneak in.
Ye Xiao knew that he could not take away Zhao Qing"er forcefully or by using any other method. If he wanted to get back Zhao Qing"er, he had to win her by bidding for her.
What angered Ye Xiao the most was that Zhao Qing"er was not only treated like a slave, she was also being treated as an item for the auction. With great difficulty, Ye Xiao calmed down his anger.
The demon looked at Ye Xiao with a surprised gaze after he saw what Ye Xiao gave him to auction. This Life Force was simply too pure, something that he had never seen. He nodded his head and said, "This item is worth placing for the Biggest Auction of the entire Green Blood Demon World."
Ye Xiao nodded his head and then left after getting another sealed paper from the demon that was the proof of him placing the bottle of Life Force for the auction.
The auction was going to be held in two days. It also means that there were still two days of free time in Ye Xiao"s hand.
.....
Ye Xiao directly went to an inn and booked a room for a few days. Entering the room, he vanished and appeared in front of the Nine Story PaG.o.da.
He had was already cultivating the Fifth Layer of Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique and because of this, the Fifth Floor of Nine Story PaG.o.da was now opened for him to enter.
Not only this but the mine of High Grade Immortal Stones was also opened now. He could mine as many High Grade Immortal Stones as possible.
Without wasting any time, Ye Xiao went directly to the Fifth Floor and was surprised by what he saw there.
The Fifth Floor of the Nine Story PaG.o.da was just like the First Floor. The only difference between the two was that there was Nine Dragon Universal Cauldron at the center of the first floor while at the center of the Fifth floor, there was only one gate that was filled with strange runes and characters.
Ye Xiao could not understand what those characters meant. But he could feel that this gate was no ordinary gate.
This gate was just standing without anything"s support. There was nothing around it, not a single wall or anything to support it. But still, it gave Ye Xiao a strange feeling.
Suddenly, a stream of comfortable energy swarmed into his mind and many pieces of new information appeared.
"This... This is..."
Ye Xiao could not define how shocked he was right now. He could not believe that the information appearing in his mind was true.
"Yes, it is true!"
As if someone read his mind, a charming and soft voice but familiar came from behind Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao didn"t need to turn to say who the newcomer was.
"You are here!"
A wide smile appeared on Ye Xiao"s face as he turned back to face Queen.
When he turned back, he saw a tall and slim woman with a perfect figure was gracefully standing about 5 meters away from him. Everything about her was simply outstanding. She wore a flame-red robe and she had a flowing scarlet dress wrapped around her. Her soft, Sky-blue hair hung down to her waist, and both her jade-like feet were bare. She was like a vibrant red rose that grew out of the snow. The crimson red and snow-white contrast reflected a glamorous and majestic beauty.
Queen looked at Ye Xiao for a good while and then suddenly she smiled gently. She said in her melodious voice, "Long time no see, Ye Xiao!"
Ye Xiao nodded his head because she was right. From the moment he had ascended to the Divine Realm, he had never seen Queen even once.
Yes, once or twice, he did hear her voice directly in his mind. The first time was when he get the Wood Blossom Bloodline. It was Queen who informed Ye Xiao about this bloodline.
"You have grown into a world-defying beauty now. If you were to go out, I guarantee every single being of the Upper Realm would fight to take a single look of your face."
Ye Xiao was shocked that Queen"s beauty has increased yet once again. She now has an entirely different charm on her face, enough to attract anyone"s attention. Her beauty was really something Ye Xiao had never seen.
He was also deeply attracted by her beauty and when he came back to his sense, he subconsciously praised Queen"s beauty.
Queen still had that gentle smile on her face. She raised her head with pride and replied, "Of course! After all, I"m the one and only Queen of Plants. But you sure have also improved greatly. I have to say that you got a glib tongue there that you haven"t had before."
