Chapter 1384: 1384
Hu Yao’er smiled and said, “You must be joking, Lord Ye . However, human cultivators like to engrave their magical powers and the like on stone tablets, creating powerful inscriptions . When the great war between humans and demons broke out, many Imperial level figures were buried in the mountains . You have speculated that a Renhuang left this inscription . There is a high probability that this is true . ”

Ye Futian looked into Hu Yao’er’s bright eyes that were full of sincerity . It was like there was no ulterior motive within them .
“Perhaps . However, I do not want to gamble on this,” said Ye Futian . And he was not lying . If it came down to him, he was nowhere near good enough .
This Celestial Fox Palace presented him with an opportunity . He could use something small to obtain something great .
Of course, he was not purely gambling . He had significant advantages when compared to others . He could use his powers to see what was going on .
“If you don’t have enough cultivation resources, I can lend you some,” said Zhu Zhao beside him .
Ye Futian shook his head . “No need . ”
“Then can I try?” asked Zhu Zhao .
Ye Futian shook his head again . “There is no need to gamble . Zhu Zhao looked at him for a moment and then nodded .
Many of the other cultivators were getting themselves ready . The Violet Heavenly Palace seemed to be interested in the stele as well and were preparing to make an offer for it .
“You all may send your offers . Same rules as always: you still only have one chance . Whoever offers the highest price will be the one to get it,” said the Elder of the Tianhu clan . The cultivators were all silent for a bit, then began to call out their offers .
Those who wanted it more quoted higher prices .
Moreover, since they already had their estimates, it would be difficult for them not to pay a high price if they wanted this treasure .
The demonic beasts and human cultivators around them were watching . Everything was in chaos amid the clamor of voices . Although most of the people there were only there to watch the auction, they were still very interested in it .
“Who else?” The elder of the Tianhu clan asked again . After a moment, he looked at everyone and smiled . His gaze fell onto one particular place .
“Congratulations to everyone from the Violet Heavenly Palace,” he said . It seemed that the Violet Heavenly Palace had won the treasure .
“They truly are worthy of being called the top force in the Heavenly Mandate Realm . They are both wealthy and vigorous,” said Ye Futian with a smile . The Violet Heavenly Palace would get their prize, but they would pay a high price to do so .
The daughter of the Tianhu clan held the stele up before the people from the Violet Heavenly Palace . A sharp look flashed across their faces . One of them reached for the stone, eliminating all of their outward impurities .

Soon, traces appeared on the stone . Brilliant light flashed, dazzling everyone . Everyone looked towards it .
The area grew even noisier . Many of the ancient beasts were roaring without end .
Finally, the brilliant light shone from the stone stele . Characters were imprinted upon the stone one by one . They were imposing in their magnificence .
Everyone was staring there, including all of the cultivators of the Violet Heavenly Palace . But their gazes quickly froze .
“Haha!” came the laugh of a demonic beast .
“So this is a treasure left behind by a Renhuang . How incredible!”
“Unfortunately, it is not a spell . It is just a record of his career . It was probably the final thing he wrote before he died . Thus, it has a special meaning . ”
Many of the demonic beasts cried out . Seeing the top human cultivators of the Violet Heavenly Realm humiliated made them incredibly excited .
The cultivators of the Violet Heavenly Palace looked crestfallen . The thing they had gotten was just what they had thought it was, it was a Renhuang relic, and a Renhuang had carved the characters in it . Thus, many people had competed for it .
But it was not some powerful spell of the Great Path . It was just a simple introduction, and it did not even contain that much will .
Although the things that a Renhuang wrote naturally contained will, and thus were treasured objects, it was not anywhere near worth the price they had paid for it .
They had paid a massive price to get this object .
“Although you may be a little disappointed, it is after all a Renhuang relic . It is precious,” said the elder of the Tianhu clan comfortingly . The people from the Violet Heavenly Palace did not say anything . They had made their gamble . Now, they had to accept their loss .
They looked involuntarily at Ye Futian . Had he made a bid for this one?
From what he had said before, he seemed uninterested in it and had even asked Zhu Zhao not to gamble for it . Could it be that he had seen something?
Zhu Zhao looked at Ye Futian as well . This guy could not know a trick like this, could he?
“Are you all still looking at that one?” asked the elder . The next few treasures also had people who were interested in them . They were auctioned in turn, and one of them was actually very good, but the rest were rather commonplace .

Many people sighed at this . Celestial Fox Palace was quite powerful . Although they had never touched these items, they were still able to estimate their prices .
It seemed that only the sword that Ye Futian had taken at first was worth very much .
Moreover, after that, Ye Futian had not been interested in any of the other treasures . He had not made any other bids . Read more chapter on NovelFull
Soon, there was only one treasure left on the ancient tree . It was a bone that looked plain and simple, and there was no aura emanating from it . It seemed to have been marked by the passage of time . It seemed to have experienced quite a lot .
This piece of bone was plain and had no aura . It looked just like an ordinary demonic beast’s bone . Thus, no one inquired about it . But it still appeared on the ancient tree .
However, no one there was interested in it .
Especially since they had all seen how common everything that had come before it was .
“Is no one interested in this bone?” asked the elder . “It is the only treasure left . It may be a bit common, but it comes from the Origin Mountains . It is both heavy and solid . Even someone who has cultivated up to my level cannot leave so much as a mark upon it . Thus, it must be the bone of a Demon Emperor . Even if you just use it to forge a weapon, it will be quite useful . ”
He knew that this bone was a bit too unremarkable .
And the Tianhu clan could not determine its value .
Their experience had shown them that a truly powerful bone of a Demon Emperor would have an incredibly strong aura . It would not be like this .
“It has no external aura . Can it truly be the bone of a Demon Emperor?” asked Ye Futian .
“A Saint cannot leave a mark on it . What do you think? If it was weak, it would already be broken and would not have appeared here,” said the elder . “The Tianhu clan would not bring something worthless to trade . ”
“Can I see how heavy it is?” asked Ye Futian . “If I can’t break it either, that’s fine . I won’t compete for it . ”
The elder saw that no one else was interested, then nodded . “Fine . ”
“Yao’er, will you go get it for me?” asked Ye Futian .
Hu Yao’er nodded and walked over . She brought the bone back to him .

Ye Futian took it, and suddenly he could feel how heavy it was . It did not seem to be a bone, but rather a massive demonic beast .
Threads of aura swept out and entered into the bone and then disappeared . He gave it back to Hu Yao’er and said, “It is indeed very heavy . It is quite possible that it is, in fact, a bone of a Renhuang . But even so, it is not very useful . I know an elder who is good at forging things, and thus I will consider trading a Saint-level technique for it . If this is not enough for you, then I don’t want it . ”
The elder looked at Ye Futian and saw how indifferent he looked . No one else looked interested either .
He smiled bitterly and said, “A Renhuang bone cannot be compared to a technique in terms of its solidness alone . However, selling it for such a low price would bring shame to the Tianhu clan . Everyone, please make an offer . ”
Ye Futian nodded . “Fine . ” But he did not make another offer . A cultivator from the Violet Heavenly Palace swept his gaze over Ye Futian, then made an offer to the elder .
The elder had not been listening to the price that Ye Futian had quoted, but the rules of the Celestial Fox Palace forbade him from repeating it . He could only say, “Anybody else?”
Ye Futian smiled and then quoted a price to the elder .
When he heard him, the elder stared at him for a long time . The people of the Tianhu clan were all very cunning . Humans were naturally much smarter than demonic beasts, and this guy was definitely up to something . His offer was several times that which he had said before .
He was not as indifferent as he seemed . He had just quoted a reasonable price .
He looked at him and said, “Since no one else wants it, congratulations, Lord Ye . ”
Ye Futian smiled and gave another item to Hu Yao’er .
The cultivator from the Violet Heavenly Palace frowned and said, “Are you sure it was him?”
The elder understood his doubts . He nodded seriously and said, “The Celestial Fox Palace is not so generous as to purposely give him a low price . The price that Lord Ye quoted is different from what he said before . ”
The cultivator from the Violet Heavenly Palace’s face darkened . This may not have been an important matter, but they had previously tried hard to prevent Ye Futian from getting this and had thus quoted a price twice as much as he had .
However, in the end, Ye Futian was the one who had gotten it .
They had tried to scheme against Ye Futian, but he had schemed against them as well . He was naturally quite unhappy about this .
“Congratulations, Lord Ye . ” Hu Yao’er brought the bone to Ye Futian . But at that moment, a voice came from behind him, saying, “What did he pay? I will pay double . ”
Everyone turned and looked at the people who were approaching . Everyone moved aside to make a path for them .
The elder was very perceptive . He narrowed his eyes and looked at them . He knew where they had come from, but said, “Forgive me, we have already sold all of our items . We cannot make any more deals . ”
The leader of the people walked up to him, then turned to look at Ye Futian .
Ye Futian looked back at him, then hid the bone away . He had gotten it, and he was not going to let it get away .
“Whatever price you paid for it, I will give you double . Why don’t you give me that bone?” said the head of the people who had just arrived to Ye Futian .
Ye Futian smiled and shook his head . “This bone will be useful for forging weapons . Since I’ve already bought it, I’m not going to give it to you . ”
“I’ll give you ten times what you paid for it . ”
The other man seemed not to hear what Ye Futian had said as he directly called out this astonishing price: ten times what Ye Futian had paid .
If Ye Futian just let the bone go, he could get back ten times what he paid . Everyone was speechless .
This transaction could be profitable for him .
Ye Futian looked the other man in the eye . “I’m not selling it . ”
As he said this, everyone stared at him .
He had been offered ten times what he had paid, and yet he would not sell it .
