Chapter 3855: The Highest Bidder Gets (Revised)

refully closed the lid and put the box away before saying, "If someone else buys it, it's one million for a single Emperor Yuan Stone. But if Brother Xuan Yuan buys it, then it's nine hundred thousand...Although the old woman had decided to tell Jiang Yun what the Emperor's Seal was, she didn't speak right away. Instead, she turned her gaze to the pill in Jiang Yun's hand, as if considering how to explain it.

After a moment, the old woman finally spoke slowly, "The Emperor's Seal actually refers to the mark left behind by the emperor."

"However, there are two types of this imperial seal."

One kind exists on the surface of an object, just like the Great Emperor Fruit Su Qianchen had cut out before, with a mark on its surface.

Such an imperial seal, strictly speaking, cannot be considered a true imperial seal. It is more like a mark, a symbol, representing that this object belongs to a certain emperor.

Such imperial seals are called Imperial Chapters. They are like the Emperor leaving his mark on them.

What is called the "Imperial Chapters" are, for the most part, not personally left behind by emperors themselves, but rather by their subordinates, disciples, or family members.

We speculate that the Emperor truly possessed a seal, much like the jade seals of emperors among mortals.

Hearing this, Jiang Yun's heart moved. He remembered seeing Su Qianduan before, who used the tapping on the surface of the blood-sealed stone to awaken the great emperor's blood within it. Then, by passing through the seal, he allowed this object to possess the aura of a great emperor.

For example, the face-like mark that appeared on the Great Emperor Fruit.

Perhaps that was left behind by Su Qianchen!

That is to say, Su Qianchen has the ability to imitate Imperial Chapters.

Of course, to say it's a copy is not quite right.

Because each emperor's seal is unknown, Su Qianchen only used the emperor's blood to form blood-like silk threads and forcefully condensed them into a certain shape on the surface of the object.

Anyway, no one else knows which emperor's seal it is. They only care about the imperial aura it possesses.

And the aura of the emperor ultimately comes from the blood of the ancient emperors sealed within the Blood Sealing Stone.

After understanding all this, Jiang Yun could be completely sure that Su Qianchen was a complete fraud.

The old woman continued, "The true Imperial Seal is a mark left by an emperor himself on some object."

This imprint, visible to neither the naked eye nor divine senses, can only be activated when such an object encounters danger or other special circumstances.

"And the functions of the Imperial Seal are numerous, the most common being the protection of objects."

For example, this pill. Because it's protected by the Emperor's seal inside, I think that even if you swallow it, you wouldn't be able to chew it up.

"Even if you swallowed it whole, it wouldn't melt."

In short, the true imperial seal is of great significance to us old immortals, but it's of little use to you cultivators with weak cultivation bases!

"Alright!" the old woman looked at Jiang Yun and said, "I've already told you everything about the Emperor's Seal. Now it's your decision, do you sell this pill or not"

Ginger furrowed her brows, lost in thought.

Although the old woman explained what an imperial seal was, Jiang Yun knew very well that the old woman must have some important things left unsaid.

The true purpose of the Imperial Seal is absolutely more than just protecting objects.

Otherwise, how could it possibly alarm seven Heavenly Venerables to appear

And then they immediately started bidding against each other, with prices getting higher and higher.

However, the other party has already given themselves enough face by saying so much. Even if I asked again, they definitely wouldn't say anything more.

Now, should I sell this pill or not

Gingeryun admitted that whether it was a medicinal pill or an imperial seal, they wouldn't be of any use to him.

But he still has his grandfather, parents, and master. They are all powerful Heavenly Venerables.

Since this imperial seal is useful for these seven people in front of me, it should also be equally useful for them!

As for the price offered by the seven, Jiang Yun remained unmoved.

Because he now has thirty million Imperial Source Stones on him, it should be enough to participate in the appraisal meeting tomorrow.

With one more day, he could still scour the entire Four Towns City for Blood Sealing Stones, and he wouldn't lack Emperor Origin Stones at all.

But Jiang Yun also knew that if he didn't sell this pill today, he would definitely offend these seven people.

Although these seven people probably wouldn't brazenly rob or kill me in broad daylight, once I leave Shítái Xián, they would have plenty of opportunities to get rid of me.

Moreover, the status of these seven people is evident to all, and even if they were to attack me in front of everyone, I doubt anyone would dare say a word.

So far, I have offended Jishixuan and Shitaixuan in this city, even including the City Lord's Mansion.

If another seven powerhouses emerged, whether one could survive and leave the Four Towns City would truly be a question mark!

After much deliberation, Jiang Yun finally turned his gaze to the seven people in front of him, and with a wry smile, said: "Seven seniors, you have really given me a difficult problem!"

This elixir has only one pill, but there are seven of you.

Even if I wanted to sell, I could only sell to one of you.

"If I do that, I will offend the other six seniors. What should I do"

Seven pairs of eyes met, and in their gaze, each saw hostility.

Although they appeared together, the seven of them came from different factions and were not friends, in fact even enemies.

Therefore, they couldn't guarantee Gingeryun that if he sold the elixir to them, they could keep him safe.

Seeing the reactions of the seven people, Ginger Cloud continued, "I have a proposal. For this medicinal pill, I will not sell it today."

"Because when the appraisal conference comes around, I definitely need to buy some things."

"Why don't we wait until after the conference ends, and I'll entrust an auction house to sell everything"

When the time comes, all seven seniors, including everyone present, can participate in the auction if they are interested. The highest bidder wins.

Jiang Yun's suggestion is indeed reasonable.

There were also such specialized merchant guilds responsible for auctions in the four towns.

By leaving things to the auction house, Ginger Cloud didn't have to get involved himself, naturally ensuring his own safety.

Besides, Ginger Cloud has a bit of selfishness too.

He now has quite a few enemies, so if he could leave Shi Tai Xuan with this pill, perhaps these seven powerful individuals would still secretly protect his safety.

However, after a moment of silence, the first elder to speak was cold and blunt: "Since we're going to auction it off anyway, might as well do it today."

In front of so many people, the seven of us agreed that no matter who ultimately gets this elixir, the others are not to bother this kid.

"Not bad!" The fat old man smiled and nodded. "I can guarantee that I won't cause you any trouble!"

Among the remaining five, three more spoke in succession, all saying that they wouldn't make things difficult for Jiang Yun.

Obviously, they were all unwilling to wait until after the appraisal meeting to attend the auction.

After all, there are still two days left. No one dares to guarantee that in these two days, Ginger Cloud won't sell the pill to someone else.

Before Gingercloud could continue, the first elder spoke again. "Boy, unless you're not planning on selling this pill,"

If you want to sell it, you must sell it to one of us seven today.

Jiang Yun's face darkened as he said, "Senior, you're being a bit forceful here!"

The old man sneered coldly, "I'll buy it by force, what can you do about it!"

25 million Emperor Origin Stones, I'll buy your pills, will you sell them!

Looking at the elder, Jiang Yun then glanced at the other six people who remained silent, and said with a smile: "Well, since the seven seniors insist on buying it, then I'll fulfill your wishes!"

Since it's an auction, there's naturally a starting price. The bottom line for this elixir is 30 million Emperor Source Stones!

Now, seven seniors, please state your price! Highest bidder wins!ave your eye on been unsold for all these yearsKōsō smiled wryly. "Of course they've been sold."I originally had my eye on dozens of Blood Sealing Stones, but last time around, there were only a few d...
