Chapter 1509 New Trump Cards
'What?'
Ajax was surprised to see that all the special participants of the auction house had sent their servants to his chamber.
"Thank you everyone for the gifts. Inform your masters that let's meet after the auction."
Even though he had nothing important to do, Ajax wanted to maintain the aura of a cultivator from a powerful family.
Of course, he didn't forget to take all the gifts from those servants before sending them away.
'So many valuable things.'
Even though Ajax didn't know what gifts they sent and how valuable they were, he was sure about one thing: They are all definitely good items.
"Since I don't have any interest in that current auction item, I will just check the gifts from the powerful cultivator."
Ajax realized that his plant essence might arrive a little late and he was not interested to bid in the auctioning item as it was too pricey for him.
So, he decided to check the gifts from the powerful cultivators one by one.
"Fire Elemental Soul Stone (King realm)"
He picked the red-coloured stone he got from the Fire Emperor.
"Water Elemental Soul Stone (King realm)"
"Wind Elemental Soul Stone (King realm)"
"Earth Elemental Soul Stone (King realm)"
"Metal Elemental Soul Stone (King realm)"
Soon, he picked the remaining coloured stones that he received from the other elemental human emperors which made him pleasantly surprised.
'Useful items for my elemental spirits.'
As long as a fire elemental spirit uses the Fire Elemental Soul Stone, he could learn an elemental soul. Since most of his elemental spirits had just broken through to the king realm, Ajax knew how to make good use of them.
'Using these elemental soul stones, five elemental spirits will get an upgrade in their battle prowess.'
Ajax chuckled as he looked at the five elemental human emperors sitting in the normal chairs.
Even though they were the powerful emperors of the human race, they were not selling anything in the current auction. Therefore, they could only sit in the normal chairs instead of the special chambers.
'Looks like they are all-powerful summoners.'
Only powerful summoners could give away the elemental soul stones as gifts. Moreover, humans' innate talent was becoming summoners.
Since the five humans were the emperors of the greater human worlds, then, without a doubt, they would be the powerful summoners.
'I can give these five elemental soul stones to the five elemental spirits after leaving the trader's realm.'
With that thought in mind, Ajax stored the five elemental soul stones in his inventory.
"This orb is from the Nightmare Fiend."
After storing the elemental soul stones, Ajax picked a black coloured orb and remembered who sent it.
'Ding,
Item name: Nightmare sealing orb.
Item grade: Legend.
Use: The user of the orb could seal anyone below high-level emperor realm cultivators inside the orb, giving them endless nightmares.
Note: It can be used only thrice and each time, it can only seal a single cultivator. So, use the item wisely.
Remaining uses: 3
At the same time, the information about the nightmare orb appeared in front of Ajax.
'What?'
After reading the use of the orb, Ajax was shocked and felt, 'It looks like I am getting more and more powerful trump cards.'
Previously, the highest trump card he had was the Emperor Beast Token that was given by his master.
He could use the token one more time before it disappears. However, to his surprise, he received another item that was much more powerful than the Emperor Beast Token.
Moreover, this new item had three uses left which could help him kill three mid-level emperor realm cultivators.
'Even though he is part of a demon race, he is magnanimous with his gift.'
Nightmare fiend was a special type of demon. Nevertheless, he gave such a good gift to Ajax, making Ajax a good impression on the Nightmare fiend.
'As for what kind of cultivator he was, I need to wait and see.'
Just because he got the good impression because of a gift doesn't mean he would unconditionally help or trade with the Nightmare fiend.
So, he decided to learn more about this Nightmare fiend before trading with him in the future.
'Even the Astral Demon Emperor is participating in this auction and sent a gift to me.'
How could he not know about the Astral Demon Emperor?
From his two golden demon slaves, Ajax learned about the existence of the five demon emperors and this Astral Demon Emperor was one of them who sent his armies to invade the Purple stone world to conquer it.
Even though there might be some random cultivator using that name, Ajax doubted someone would do it.
Moreover, that cultivator with the user name 'Astral Demon Emperor' even raised a bid for the plant essence with 1000 units of the demon essence.
Demon essence was something that was not available to everyone in this universe. It was a privilege for the Demon Emperor, especially the five demon emperors of the demon cluster.
'I am thinking of a way to find these so-called demon emperors and who would have thought that one of them would request him to become his friend.'
Even though Ajax didn't have any power to kill any of the five demon emperors, he wanted to learn more about them before making his move.
Moreover, according to Ajax's guess, it would take around a year or so before he would be capable of killing high-level emperor realm cultivators without any problem.
'I wonder what he sent.'
Even though he didn't like the Astral Demon Emperor, Ajax didn't have any problem taking his gift and wondered what he sent.
'Huh? What is this? A talisman?'
Ajax opened the small box sent by the Astral Demon Emperor and saw a black-coloured talisman with mysterious runes.
'Ding,
Item name: Astral Realm's ticket.
Use: The host's spirit consciousness form could enter a special astral realm created by the astral demon emperor to exchange the items between the worlds.
Note: In the Astral Realm, both sides can't enter one another as the aim of this Astral Realm was mainly for trading or meetings.
'Huh? Separate trading with the Astral Demon Emperor?'
Ajax was surprised with the item's information and could not help but think of the items that the Astral Demon Emperor might have that could be useful for him.
'He excels in soul techniques. I wonder whether he could trade any soul techniques.'
Ajax thought about the soul techniques because they were very rare to find and Ajax wanted to try whether he could get them.
'I think I don't have to meet him separately as I can use this to enter the Astral Realm and have a face-to-face talk with him.'
After thinking about it for a moment, Ajax stored the talisman in his inventory.
'Now, it is time for the final gift box that came from the Jade Dragonling.'
Earlier, Ajax heard that the Jade Dragonling bid a one-day pass to the Jade Pool for the plant essence.
From this, he could tell how resourceful Jade Dragonling was and Ajax's curiosity about that gift sent by him reached the next level.
'Huh? A jade stone?'
Open the golden-coloured box sent by the Jade Dragonling, Ajax saw a shining jade stone.
'Appraise'
Without wasting any time, he checked the information on the item.
'Ding,
Item name: Attack stone (One-time usable item).
Item: Legend.
Use: By injecting a little bit of the essence of nature into the stone, the user can release the attack stored in the stone,
Attack stored: Jade Dragon's Emperor's Dragon Blast.
More information: After using the attack, the user can ask a powerful cultivator to store his powerful attack in the attack stone so that the user can use it when he is in danger.
'What? An attack stone?'
The visit to the auction house truly broadened his horizons as he got to know about new items and even received so many good items.
'Not only can I use this item in dangerous situations but I can also re-use the attack stone to store other attacks from the powerful cultivators.'
Ajax was truly satisfied with the gift from the Jade Dragonling as he couldn't help but think about the powerful cultivators around him.
Even if he used the Dragon Blast that was stored inside the attack stone, Ajax has a few powerful cultivators around him.
Zaglanth, a half-human and a half-demon who has just entered the emperor realm; however, he had some unique techniques and skills which could help him in killing even mid-level emperor realm cultivators.
Master Ren, another emperor realm cultivator who had yet to show his full battle prowess to Ajax.
Elder Boron, was already a low-level emperor realm cultivator and was currently in seclusion. By the time he comes out of his seclusion, he would be a mid-level emperor realm cultivator for sure.
Queen Siora, his fiancee has the cultivation of a level 2 emperor realm but because of her unique cultivation, she could fight even high-level emperor realm cultivators.
The last but the most powerful cultivator that Ajax knew was none other than his master, The Bloodline Emperor Mostror.
'When it comes to storing a powerful attack in the attack stone, I have so many powerful cultivators around me.'
Ajax felt that among the trump cards he currently had, he would be using this 'Attack stone' more and more in the future because it could be recharged with powerful attacks again and again.
"Everyone, pay attention to the last item of the auction."
Soon, the beautiful elf's voice became loud as she took out the last item of the auction.
