Chapter 788 - 880 Do you dare to duel with me?
As time passed, all the Bone Tokens in the Primordial Battlefield were discovered.
Therefore, if one wanted to obtain Bone Tokens to pass the test, they naturally had to snatch them from other contestants who had Bone Tokens.
Although Chen Mo had over twenty Bone Tokens, creating an illusion of having a team somewhere, some people still took the risk to check out Chen Mo’s side to obtain Bone Tokens.
So, Chen Mo started a business.
As long as he was paid with some valuable items, Chen Mo would give out a Bone Token.
After all, one Bone Token was enough to pass the test, having more was useless.
But Chen Mo was not going to give them away for free.
Therefore, exchanging extra Bone Tokens for benefits was the best method.
After selling five Bone Tokens, news that Chen Mo was selling Bone Tokens spread across the Primordial Battlefield.
Bringing business to the Primordial Battlefield, this was explosive news in the business circles of the Primordial Heaven.
Looking back at past Daoist Alliance tests, this was a situation that had never occurred before.
So when outsiders saw this, it caused quite a stir.
Those contestants who had been eliminated saw this and felt as if their hearts were bleeding.
"Mine, that Bone Token is mine, and now that kid traded it for two Upper Grade Treasure Medicines."
"Isn’t this kid too ruthless? Sold to Bai Hao for two Upper Grade Treasure Medicines, but asked for three from the Nine Demons." An Elder noticed this discrepancy.
They discovered that with each Bone Token sold, the price for the next one increased.
"Ruthless, this kid is truly ruthless..." someone cursed.
...
Due to the high price of exchanging for Bone Tokens, someone teamed up with others to try and seize them by force, resulting in Chen Mo activating the Thunder Urgent Profound Kui Array again, eliminating them all.
After this, some restless contestants had to dispel their greed and find Chen Mo to exchange for Bone Tokens.
Those who really couldn’t afford them stayed outside, hoping to snatch Bone Tokens from those who exchanged them from Chen Mo.
However, Chen Mo didn’t concern himself with this; once the Bone Token left his hands, he was no longer responsible.
Moreover, it helped divert attention from himself.
"I don’t have many Bone Tokens left, first come, first served. One Bone Token equals a Daoist Alliance disciple’s quota. Once you become a Daoist Alliance disciple, just a few Upper Grade Treasure Medicines can be earned back in a year or two. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,"
Chen Mo hovered in the air, bewitching the crowd still observing from the periphery.
Ice Spirit watched Chen Mo, pouting her rosy lips, thinking he had the potential of a profiteer.
The contestants, after witnessing the power of the Thunder Urgent Profound Kui Array, dared not enter the forest and were still watching, seemingly waiting for a leader to step forward so they could all swarm in and rob Chen Mo of his Bone Tokens.
After waiting a while, seeing that the crowd didn’t move, just as Chen Mo was about to descend and rest, a voice rang out:
"I want one."
A fiery red light streaked across the sky, appearing in the forest’s periphery a few breaths later.
"It’s Bai Hua from the Blazing Fire Sect!" someone said.
Bai Hua stood out among the contestants as the only non-Daoist branch disciple, earning respect.
The onlookers hidden around began to stir.
Chen Mo raised an eyebrow. In the distant sky, Bai Hua stood in the air, his body seemingly flowing with magma, making the surrounding air somewhat scorching.
Bai Hua had a feeling that Chen Mo possessed something he wanted.
"Very well, six Upper Grade Treasure Medicines or Star Grass, Mandala Flower, Other Shore Fruit... any one of these."
Chen Mo stated his demands, mentioning materials like Star Grass, Mandala Flower, and Other Shore Fruit, needed for the continued cultivation of the Nine Orifice Star Universe Skill.
"Six Upper Grade Treasure Medicines..." The surrounding crowd gasped; Chen Mo’s demand was indeed steep. As for the Star Grass and other items, they were truly precious among Upper Grade Treasure Medicines.
"All right." Bai Hua decisively swiped his waist, revealing a Purple Gold Wooden Box in his hand, which he tossed to Chen Mo.
Chen Mo caught it steadily, opened it, and inside was a half-purple, half-red fruit.
"Other Shore Fruit." Chen Mo’s face lit up with joy, and he tossed a Bone Token to Bai Hua in return.
After receiving it, Bai Hua went into the forest. He could tell that if he turned to leave, those observing might act against him, so it was better to find a place to hide in the forest.
Using the forest environment, he could better fight against enemies.
Seeing Bai Hua enter the forest without intentions of attacking, Chen Mo naturally wouldn’t activate the Thunder Urgent Profound Kui Array against him.
"For those who want to exchange, hurry up. The price of Bone Tokens will only rise. Early buyers profit, late buyers lose everything. Don’t miss out," Chen Mo said, shaking the remaining Bone Tokens in front of the crowd.
"I want one too."
Two voices spoke simultaneously.
Chen Mo made a valid point.
The longer they waited, not to mention whether there would be any Bone Tokens left, the cost of exchange would also rise significantly.
But neither had seven Upper Grade Treasure Medicines.
One gave a Star Grass.
One gave a Mandala Flower.
And Chen Mo, being honest, handed them a Bone Token each.
"There are thirteen Bone Tokens left, hurry if you want to exchange..."
Chen Mo shouted.
If during the test he could gather the materials for cultivating the Nine Orifice Star Universe Skill, it would indeed be a huge profit.
Time passed little by little, and soon Chen Mo was left with only two Bone Tokens after keeping one for himself.
He also managed to gather the herbs needed for the continued cultivation of the Nine Orifice Star Universe Skill.
Chen Mo was quite satisfied, and seeing this, he shouted: "Seeing everyone’s trust in me, I have an immature suggestion. For the remaining two Bone Tokens, let’s auction them starting from one Upper Grade Treasure Medicine. Highest bidder wins, how about it?"
He glanced around, but no one among the onlookers spoke.
Chen Mo wasn’t embarrassed and continued, "Very good, since everyone agrees, let’s start the auction, please bid."
Still silent.
The crowd’s mindset was to let him perform a solo show and see if he becomes awkward.
But not even half a moment later, a traitor appeared.
"One Upper Grade Treasure Medicine," someone said.
"Qian Wenlong, you..." He immediately glared at the person who spoke.
Soon, bidders emerged.
"Two Upper Grade Treasure Medicines."
"Lu Guangcai, you..."
"Three."
With a round of bidding, the price quickly reached ten Upper Grade Treasure Medicines.
It was Lu Guangcai who shouted.
"Ten once, ten twice, ten thrice..." Chen Mo wished he had a gavel in his hand and hastily said, "Sold."
Just as the two were about to exchange, a cold voice rang out:
"Chen Mo, do you dare duel me."
