Primordial Star Scripture

Ye Chen's bid took everyone at the venue by surprise.

At this moment, many formidable Nine Tribulations True Gods had abandoned the idea of purchasing this "rubbish cloth," and yet this youth, merely a Four Tribulations True God, still wanted to buy it?

And to compete with the obviously well-connected young man in the brocade robe?!

Many were shocked by Ye Chen's boldness, while others viewed him with curiosity, trying to discern the origins of a youth who could casually offer more than a million Black Divine Coins while being just in the Four Tribulations realm.

But after observing for a while, they couldn't find anything particularly special about Ye Chen.

The young man in the brocade robe was also taken aback.

He didn't expect that, after showing some of his capabilities, someone would still compete against him, especially a Four Tribulations True God youth.

While the young man in the brocade robe was not very interested in the "rubbish cloth," seeing it as merely a curiosity to collect and remember, Ye Chen's offer ignited his competitive spirit.

"I bid one million and two hundred thousand Black Divine Coins," said the young man in the brocade robe, casting a glance at Ye Chen, speaking indifferently.

Of course, Ye Chen had no idea about the young man's competitive thoughts. His only intention was to secure the piece of "rubbish cloth" and to examine it thoroughly with Xiaojiu.

"One million and three hundred thousand," Ye Chen spoke up again.

"I bid one million and four hundred thousand!" The young man in the brocade robe raised his voice, his gaze toward Ye Chen filled with a hint of anger.

He came from a family of Immortal Divine Venerables, although a collateral branch, and he had some wealth, but it was not vast.

To call out a bid of one million and four hundred thousand Black Divine Coins for a piece of "rubbish cloth" that was somewhat magical yet impractical, and knowing this wouldn't be the final price, he started to feel the pinch.

"One million and five hundred thousand," Ye Chen said, disregarding the fiery look from the young man in the brocade robe as he calmly raised the bid.

As Ye Chen and the young man in the brocade robe successively raised their bids, the vendor nearby could hardly contain his joy.

This "rubbish cloth" was passed down in his family. He and his ancestors had studied it for a long time without comprehending its purpose; it was useless to them. He was about to enter the Nine Suns Ancient Land and had decided to sell it in order to acquire a Heaven-reaching Divine Artifact to use.

The current bid far exceeded his expectations!

He was, of course, surprisingly delighted.

While the vendor could hardly contain his glee, the young man in the brocade robe felt embarrassed under the public gaze. Looking at Ye Chen, he spoke with a threatening tone, "Are you really intent on competing with me?"

Simultaneously with his words, he took out the black puppet again and started swinging it in his hand.

Even though he wouldn't dare make a move inside the Trading Treasure Hall, under the supervision of the Southern Territory King Mansion, the implication of his gesture was unmistakably threatening.

Seeing the action of the young man in the brocade robe, Ye Chen couldn't help but laugh silently.

However, in an instant, Ye Chen's mind flickered with an idea.

With a gentle flip of his palm, the life-saving talisman left to him by the East Territory King appeared in his hand.

The group of Martial Artists spectating nearby, upon seeing the young man's action, were just wondering how Ye Chen, a Four Tribulations True God youth, would respond.

When they saw that Ye Chen also took out an object, a thought instantly crossed their minds: "Could it be that this young man isn't afraid of the young man in the brocade robe and has a powerful trump card?"

Suddenly, dozens of attentive eyes around the stand focused on Ye Chen's hand, closely inspecting the item.

When they saw the faint golden light emanating from Ye Chen's palm and the characters "East Province" inscribed on the talisman, many Martial Artists were somewhat puzzled, "What is this? A talisman? Could it be a powerful talisman?"

"These characters 'East Province,' could it mean that this talisman has been passed down from the Divine Kingdom's East Province?"

While those unfamiliar with the talisman were still pondering, several individuals at the scene, upon seeing the talisman in Ye Chen's hand, had their expressions change drastically.

Among them were the stall owner and the young man in brocade!

"This is... a talisman from the Southern Territory King Mansion! And it's golden! It's rumored that only talismans personally crafted by the East Territory King are golden, and no one else in the East Territory King Mansion dares to use gold. Could it be that this talisman was made for this young man by the East Territory King himself?" The stall owner, a Nine Tribulations true god, felt his heart pounding uncontrollably.

The East Territory King!

A famous figure in the Divine Kingdom, an overwhelmingly powerful Sovereign Realm expert.

Who among the Divine Kingdom Martial Artists would not know, would not be aware?!

Such an entity, even the Immortal Divine Venerable would kneel before.

The youth bestowed with a talisman by him, what kind of powerful background must he have?

The stall owner already felt so nervous he was nearly unable to breathe.

At this moment, the brocade-clad young man was even more terrified, his face completely pale.

This young man in brocade came from the Divine Kingdom's East Province, and his entire family's most powerful Immortal Divine Venerable patriarch was under the jurisdiction of one of the East Territory King's Four Great Generals.

His patriarch had once received a silver-colored talisman from the East Territory King Mansion, bestowed by a Great General. They celebrated with a grand feast for three days and nights, and even enshrined the silver-colored talisman in the most precious treasury of their family.

The young man in brocade was all too familiar with talismans that circulated from the East Territory King Mansion!

He had once heard his father mention, after the Immortal Divine Venerable patriarch of their family got drunk, he let slip a truth, saying that if one day they could obtain a golden talisman personally given by the East Territory King, even death would be worth it! It would bring their family immense glory in the Divine Kingdom's East Province!

Now, seeing that the young man he was competing against possessed a golden East Territory King Mansion talisman that even his family's Immortal Divine Venerable patriarch didn't have, how could he not be shocked to the core?!

This young man, he has a talisman personally crafted by the East Territory King?!

What could his background possibly be?!

If the Immortal Divine Venerable patriarch of his family knew that he dared to trouble a young man who was personally given a talisman by the East Territory King, then there would be no need for the East Territory King to act; his family patriarch would most likely tie him up himself and deliver him to the East Territory King Mansion for judgment!

With this thought in mind, the brocade-clad young man no longer had any thoughts of competing with Ye Chen, and with a forced smile, he said to Ye Chen, "This fellow Daoist... fellow Daoist, I'm no longer buying that scrap of cloth!"

After uttering those words, the brocade-clad young man didn't even look at Ye Chen and instantly ran off, disappearing without a trace!

This scenario left the crowd of Martial Artists who were watching in astonishment.

They hadn't expected that the young man, who had earlier been so high and mighty and obviously came from a powerful background, would, upon seeing the talisman in the hands of the young Four Tribulations true god, flee in terror like a rat seeing a cat!

By then, even if these Martial Artists didn't understand the true significance of the talisman in Ye Chen's hands, they could guess that this young man's background was probably a hundred times more terrifying than that of the brocade-clad youth!

Otherwise, the brocade-clad young man would not have reacted in this manner!

Not just the brocade-clad young man, but even the stall owner was repeatedly smiling at Ye Chen, saying, "Fellow Daoist, since you've taken a liking to my piece of scrap cloth, then I'll just give it to you!"

Even a pleasing smile had crept onto the stall owner's face as he tried to ingratiate himself with Ye Chen.
