A wooden platform was set up in the middle of a square, surrounded by dozens of warriors. These warriors were elites who had undergone special training, and their combat strength was no weaker than ordinary ninjas. An auction was about to be held here, auctioning all kinds of precious treasures. Although most of them were just ordinary jewelry, there were still one or two special natural treasures, such as the most popular item this time---Illusionary Spirit Jade. This was something that countless ninjas dreamed of. With this, they could completely defeat most illusions, especially those ninjas who specialized in illusions. It was completely counter to them.
It was early morning, but the auction stage was already filled with people. These people were representatives of the various large factions. Treasures with special powers were extremely attractive to the various Ninja Villages. Illusion spells had always been a power that many ninjas feared because they could kill without a trace. If they were not careful in battle, they might fall into the illusion spells. The Illusionary Spirit Jade was like a protective charm. Unless it was an illusion spell that was heaven-defying... Otherwise, it wouldn't have any effect on the person who had the Illusionary Spirit Jade. This would give the wearer a greater advantage in battle.
At this time, Selai and Shuimen were also mixed in, but they hid their identities like most people.
Mizuki and Kuraiya both wore black robes and even covered their faces. In order to hide Mizuki's rare blond hair, they even wrapped their hair with a black headscarf. Then, they used a transformation spell to hide the color of their pupils and change their height. They had to hide in the dark and cover Mu Ye's companions when necessary.
Watergate scanned the auction hall from the corner of his eyes. He could sense that there were many hidden ninjas guarding the auction hall, and they were all very powerful. No wonder this auction house dared to accept the auction of such a treasure.
There weren't many auction houses on this continent, because the things that were entrusted to the auction house were definitely very precious, so it was definitely very dangerous. However, this auction house was supported by many famous countries, so their strength was very large. It was no wonder that no one dared to snatch things from the auction house.
"It seems that those fellows with ill intentions will only act after the Grand Meeting ends and the people who obtained the Illusionary Spirit Jade leave. Hmm…do we also have ill intentions?”Shui Men was conflicted as he thought to himself.
To be honest, Watergate was very interested in this gem that could resist illusions. He was traumatized by illusions because three months ago, he was tortured by Zirai using illusions for a week. The reason was that Watergate's illusion level was not up to standard. Even though his Watergate illusion had been greatly improved after the demonic training of Selaiya, the experience of being abused was still fresh in his mind. He definitely didn't want to try it again.
"Wood Leaf, Hidden Sand, Hidden Rock, Hidden Fog…they're really powerful.”Shuimen looked at Mu Ye's side. They, Sand Hidden, Rock Hidden, and the others did not conceal their faces. Even such a powerful force did not conceal themselves because their strength gave them the right to be proud. However, Shuimen did not recognize the Kinoha Ninja who had come here this time. It looked like he was a Jounin from the village. There were a total of ten people from Kinoha Village, and the other ninja villages had similar numbers.
There was still some time before the auction started, so people were still entering one after another.
Suddenly, Shuimen felt that someone was staring at him. He looked in the direction he felt and saw a middle-aged man staring at him two rows in front of him. This man had black hair and a common face. Shuimen was sure that he had never seen this person before, but why was this person staring at him? He must have disguised himself very well. He was very confident in his transformation skill, and he was wearing a black robe and a mask like most people to ensure that his identity would not be revealed. However, this middle-aged man looked at him as if he knew him.
The middle-aged man had a straight face, but there was a hint of surprise in his eyes. Shuimen suddenly felt that this guy looked like someone else…
Not long after, the auction officially began.
A man in a navy blue kimono walked onto the stage and spoke through the loudspeaker,"" Hello, everyone. Welcome to this auction. This auction will be fully managed by our auction house of the five kingdoms…" This man's voice was filled with arrogance and confidence. He had the backing of the five kingdoms 'auction house, so he wasn't worried that anyone would dare to cause trouble.
" I'll cut to the chase. Let's take a look at the first auction item…" The man's voice was loud and clear. Then, an attendant carried the first auction item on a tray…
Watergate looked at the dazzling array of auction items and could not help but click his tongue. These were only some jewelry made of rare jade. To ordinary people, they were indeed treasures, but in the eyes of ninjas, they were worthless. However, none of these items were sold for less than one million.
Finally, after more than half an hour, the first thing that the ninjas paid attention to appeared.
"Everyone, pay attention. The next item is a scroll that records the ninjutsu. In this world, ninjas had always been a very popular profession. To a ninja, ninjutsu was like a second life. Being able to have a powerful ninjutsu was extremely important to a ninja.。”
This sentence attracted the attention of all the ninjas present. The next auction was mainly for the ninjas.
The host continued," This is a B-grade Lightning Evasion Ninjutsu. It is called the Lightning Summoning Net. It has an extremely powerful group attack ability. Its power is also among the best among B-grade Ninjutsu. The starting price is six million." Each increment must not be lower than one million.”
"Seven million." As soon as the host finished speaking, someone started bidding.
"Eight million."
"Nine million."
……
"Damn, these guys really know how to make money. They took advantage of the opportunity to auction all kinds of things that ninjas need. They can make a fortune just by collecting processing fees.”Zilai also cursed in a low voice.
"Is this the price of a B-grade ninjutsu?" Watergate asked quietly. He didn't believe that the base price of a B-grade ninjutsu was only six million. Six million wasn't a small amount, but some antiques and curios could be sold for more than ten million.
" Of course not. Ninjutsu is extremely precious to ninjas. They knew that the price would be raised. They did this to motivate the bidders."”
In the end, the Thunder-Calling Net was sold to Hidden Cloud for 28 million. The only thing that could be auctioned off was a ninjutsu or secret art that no one else knew. All the major Ninja villages would want to buy it to enrich their village collections.
Then, items related to ninjas were auctioned off one after another, and the price was getting higher and higher.
"The next item we are going to auction can be said to be an extremely precious item. Its origin is also very special.”The emcee's words whetted everyone's appetite. They didn't know what kind of thing would receive such an evaluation.
"There used to be a family like this on the continent. They didn't have a powerful blood heir, but they used their wisdom to create a large number of secret techniques. They used these secret techniques to shine on the continent for a time. They stood proudly on the continent with the power of their family, surpassing any ninja village. Yes, they were strong enough to fight against a country!”
The host paused for a moment before continuing,"Speaking of which, I believe that some guests who know history already know what I'm talking about. That was the Windwave Clan, which had once been glorious, but had declined for unknown reasons fifty years ago!”
This sentence was like a thunderclap exploding in Shuimen's ears, and he was completely stunned. He didn't expect to find his family's relic.
"We are going to auction off a pendant passed down from the Windwave Clan. Our appraisers have determined that this is a very powerful Chakra Crystal of a magical beast. The energy contained within it is something that even ten high-level Shadow Level Ninjas would find difficult to compare to. If we can use it, we should all understand how powerful it is.”
Everyone was shocked. There were more energy crystals than the chakras of ten high-level shadow level experts. How terrifying would that be? Some powerful magic beasts would usually condense a type of chakra crystal. These crystals were the essence of a magic beast's power. After humans obtained these crystals, they would have many uses. For example, it could be used to activate powerful ninja tools, or it could be used to create ninja scrolls that could be activated without additional chakras. It could even be used to allow the human body to absorb the chakras directly through some secret technique to quickly increase the ninja's strength. However, it was no longer like the era of the Six Paths Immortal. The only powerful creatures that could be seen now were some spiritual beasts. Wild demonic beasts had faded out of people's sight.
At first, there was still silence, but then there was a frenzied bidding.
The various factions shouted out astronomical numbers one after another, and the price quickly soared to hundreds of millions. The emcee looked at these ninjas who were frantically fighting for it and sneered in his heart. If it wasn't for the fact that the higher-ups had tried countless methods but were unable to make use of even a tiny bit of chakra in this crystal, how could they be willing to sell it? The people who bought it would probably go crazy when they found out that it was completely useless.
The auction house was not lying. The crystal stone indeed contained an extremely large amount of energy, but no one had been able to successfully use it. It was even impossible to leave a scratch on the crystal stone.
At this moment, Shui Men looked over and saw the appearance of the necklace. In the middle of the necklace hung a golden transparent crystal. It looked very simple and ordinary, but it contained a chakra that made Shadow Grade powerhouses blush.
"What the hell, Watergate kid, you must get this thing!”Naz's voice suddenly rang out, and of course, only Watergate could hear it.
"You're finally awake."
"Well, it can't be helped. This is just a body of thoughts. It needs to sleep often to maintain it. " By the way, you have to get that thing. It's very important. I only accompanied the first generation of your family's leader. Then, I sealed the missing body and waited for the next inheritor. I didn't expect someone after that to get this thing.”
"This crystal contains chakras that surpass ten shadow level experts.”
"Chakra? Pah, that wasn't chakra at all, but magic power, and it wasn't just any magic power. That was why no one could use it. However, you can use it because you are no longer human.”
"Go to hell, you're not human. Your entire family is not human!”
" Hehe, my whole family is dragons…"
Shuimen choked and had nothing to say.
"You have the constitution of a dragon now, so you have two identities of a human and a dragon," Naz said.”
"What exactly is that Crystal Stone?”Shui Men asked in his heart.
"Dragon crystal." Naz quietly spat out three words…
