The Dao Stone appeared, and the "Dao" on it once again emitted a faint, mysterious brilliance. That profound Dao essence seed to make the Dao embryos comprehended by everyone present tremble slightly.
They sensed that the Heavenly Dao power they comprehended could perfectly harmonize with the aning embedded in the Dao Stone, as if the Dao on this stone was the ancestral origin of their comprehended Dao embryos!
"Such a profound Dao essence!"
Many present had co specifically for this, and upon seeing the Dao Stone, they couldn’t help but express their amazent.
Just one glance!
But with that one glance, the aning on the Dao Stone stirred their minds and spirits, and even their cultivated Dao embryos began to resonate, as if responding to the Dao essence on the stone.
They vaguely perceived that carefully comprehending this Dao Stone would greatly benefit their own Dao cultivation!
Would soone really put such a precious Dao Stone up for auction? Are they mad?!
Many couldn’t help but think this. If it were them, having obtained such a Dao Stone, they would keep it hidden for their own cultivation, rather than sell it.
However, recalling the news heard yesterday, it seed that a certain Dao family’s practitioner had encountered a void tide, and urgently needed soil to ensure the survival of their race.
That made sense.
Many grew excited again, realizing that the first person who had this Dao Stone couldn’t keep it, so now their chance had co!
Dongfang Xuan glanced around at everyone. Many had bought private boxes to conceal their identities, but he actually had an idea of who they were.
The Dao Stone had clearly aroused the interest of many, achieving its purpose. As long as they could sell the stone for a good price, they could earn more from the commission.
Seeing everyone inevitably enraptured by the Dao essence on the stone, he then placed the Dao Stone back into the wooden box, interrupting everyone’s process of comprehending the Dao.
Those whose comprehension process was interrupted felt dissatisfied, but dared not complain and quickly adjusted their mindset, shifting their attention back to Dongfang Xuan.
Now they fully understood the stone’s value and were not going to let it go easily.
"You all have keen insight, and everyone has gauged the worth of this Dao Stone in their hearts, so I won’t say more. The starting price for this Dao Stone is fifty asures of soil, with each incrent no less than one asure."
Dongfang Xuan, experienced in such matters, went straight to the point.
"Bidding starts."
He waved his hand!
"Fifty-five asures!"
As soon as Dongfang Xuan finished speaking, soone imdiately called out a bid!
"Sixty asures!"
"Seventy asures!"
"Eighty asures!"
...
Bids ca in like a fierce tide, with hardly any pauses, and offers rolled out like a barrage of cannon fire, with many starting to raise their bids!
Many had heard the news yesterday and ca prepared today. For those in the Immortal Realm, after discussing with their families, those with any background could usually muster up to a hundred asures of soil.
But because everyone was so well-prepared, the competition was intense.
In no ti, soone bid directly up to a hundred and sixty asures!
A hundred and sixty asures of soil!
This was no small sum!
In the land-scarce Edge Corner Airspace, even one asure of soil was a fortune, let alone a hundred and sixty asures!
Even a genius ranked one hundred and eighty-eight on the Earth Ranking, like He Qing, only received an extra reward of thirteen asures of soil over ten years.
This wasn’t because the Dao Palace was stingy, but because thirteen asures of soil was truly significant.
After the price of "a hundred and sixty asures" was shouted out, fewer people followed up. Although the Dao Stone was precious, a hundred and sixty asures of soil began to make people feel pressured.
"Dad, they seem unable to keep up with this price. We should act now," said He Qing.
"Okay."
He Yunfang imdiately called out the price: "One hundred and eighty asures!"
He raised the bid by twenty asures to drive others out.
Because this Dao Stone was definitely worth that price!
Soon the auction hall grew quiet, as this price was even more daunting than before, and not everyone could afford it.
But shortly after, another voice followed up with a bid: "One hundred and ninety asures!"
A hundred and ninety asures!
For many, not even collective family resources could cover this, so despite their reluctance, they had to give up.
Another bid followed: "One hundred and ninety-two asures!"
Now it seed only three parties were left bidding.
He Yunfang called out again: "Two hundred asures!"
With that price, the auction hall truly quieted down.
Two hundred asures was indeed an astronomical number!
The crane race had prepared two hundred and thirty-six asures of soil. He Yunfang knew that if he didn’t set a firm price, it might be hard to secure it, so he hoped the competitors would retreat in the face of difficulty and let him obtain the Dao Stone.
For him, this Dao Stone was extrely important.
"Two hundred and ten asures!"
But another person followed with a bid, seemingly determined to obtain the Dao Stone as well.
"Who is that bidder?"
He Yunfang’s gaze was fixed on the opposite box, but he didn’t see the person clearly. The other party had concealed their identity for privacy, and he only knew that the competing bidder was in box number nineteen.
