Chapter 112: Chapter 96: Hundreds of Mahayana, Immortal King's Imitation Flying Immortal Boat
"Eight million one hundred thousand!" Yang Ji suddenly shouted, then glanced at Bai Bi.
"Since we've already signed the agreement, feel free to bid, the Medicine Pill will be covered by the Myriad Realms Commerce Alliance," Bai Bi said with a smile.
"Eight million one hundred thousand," the presiding elder said with a smile.
"Hmm? Interesting," a youth in one of the private rooms let out a chuckle and once again said with a nonchalant tone, "Nine million."
"Nine million one hundred thousand," Yang Ji continued, his heart couldn't help but curse silently; this guy really jacked up the price a lot, practically taking his life.
"Ten million," the youth laughed again.
"Ten million and ten thousand," Yang Ji kept up.
"Eleven million," the youth gazed at the wooden amber on the stage and suddenly frowned.
"Eleven million one hundred thousand," Yang Ji continued.
After ten breaths, the youth did not bid again.
"Eleven million one hundred thousand! Once," the elder said with a smile.
"Honored master, why not continue to bid?" a middle-aged man behind the youth suddenly asked in a low voice.
"I suddenly feel that this item is no longer worth it," the youth frowned, staring at the wooden amber and suddenly had this feeling.
"No longer worth it?" the middle-aged man said, surprised.
"Eleven million one hundred thousand! Twice."
"Eleven million one hundred thousand! Thrice."
"The final selling price for this treasure, eleven million one hundred thousand," the elder said with a laugh.
"After the auction, the item will be delivered to the private room. Now, please wait patiently," Bai Bi said.
"I have to thank you for this," Yang Ji said with a fist salute.
"It's no trouble at all, it's a win-win situation," Bai Bi replied with a smile.
"By the way, what is the Alliance of Commerce asking me to do?" Yang Ji suddenly asked.
"For now, I also do not know. Of course, for maximum benefit, our Alliance likely won't ask you to take action before you reach the Fushion Realm. Whatever it will be, it's still hundreds of years away," Bai Bi said.
Indeed, hundreds of years were far too distant, and this made Yang Ji feel a bit more settled in his mind.
This time, having acquired the fragment of the Taichu Divine Tree, his mood was exceptionally good, and he felt relaxed. He casually drank the Immortal Spirit Tea, watching the auction continue in full swing.
Afterward, various heavenly materials and earthly treasures appeared one after another, such as the Low-grade Daoist Weapon Xuanhuang Blade, the life-extending Nine-Leaf Immortal Herb, the enlightenment-inducing Heaven Listening Stone, and the cultivation-enhancing Third Grade Immortal Lotus, among others.
Additionally, there was even a sale of Demonic Beast cubs, including a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon cub.
Being only one year old yet naturally exuding dragon's majesty, within the formation on the stone platform, it growled deeply, tumbled back and forth, and within a three-zhang radius, clouds gathered, thunder roared, and numerous omens emerged.
Such cubs were extraordinary.
The Dragon Race is a great clan, possessing its own realm and being extremely protective of their own; they feared the mighty forces of the Dragon Realm finding out, leading an army to come and cause major trouble.
However, some bold individuals existed, and a mysterious Mahayana Cultivator laughed as he bought it.
Besides that, there was a Phoenix Egg, entirely crimson with extraordinary fluctuations coming from within, and in the end, it was bought by a Fushion Realm great cultivator.
All sorts of rarities, exotic beasts, Divine Medicines, Spirit Pills, Magical Treasures, and so on emerged one after another, leaving Yang Ji unable to keep up, truly broadening his horizons.
The next auction item, a Flying Immortal Boat, truly set the whole place ablaze.
Although this boat was merely a mid-grade Dao artifact, it possessed the capability to traverse the Myriad Realms, moving through the void.
It was said in the introduction that this boat was a replica of the lifebound magic treasure, Flying Immortal Boat, belonging to an Immortal King in the Immortal Realm.
Such a Dao artifact's method of refinement was even more crucial than the Dao artifact itself. Despite being mid-grade, the power it could unleash and the profound mysteries it contained could nearly rival those of a superior Dao artifact.
The moment it was presented, it immediately sparked numerous hidden Mahayana cultivators to fight fiercely over it.
The price was once called out to 2 billion.
Even as an onlooker, Yang Ji could feel the insanity of it. Anything related to an Immortal King inevitably involved significant karma and fortune. What everyone valued was not just the Dao artifact itself but more so the destiny and causality veiled behind it.
Seeing hundreds of Mahayana cultivators burst out in bidding, Yang Ji, who was in the same VIP room, couldn't help but breathe faster.
Gathering so many experts, this was far from an ordinary auction.
Upon asking Bai Bi, he found out that they had carefully prepared for this auction for five hundred years.
During the preparation period, they would send out news of the items for auction, attracting not just cultivators from the Taichu World, but also those from other major realms.
For an auction of this scale, every major realm would usually have one every few hundred years; it was merely Taichu World's turn this time.
Yang Ji couldn't help but sigh in his heart—other people were already traveling the world, enjoying a carefree life, and here he was, striving to pass the assessment, trying to stay and prepare for the Dao Sect.
This auction broadened his horizons, with his mind now reaching into the Myriad Realms.
In his heart, he secretly thought that one day, he too would enjoy a true cultivator's life, just like these Mahayana cultivators.
While he was lost in thought, the Flying Immortal Boat was purchased by a Tribulation Immortal.
This kind of individual was so powerful that they disregarded the auction house's rules, tossing a sky-full of medicine pills toward the central platform, grabbing the Flying Immortal Boat and tearing through space to leave.
At the same time, Yang Ji saw that the information displays for several Tribulation Immortals quickly followed after him.
With such a coveted treasure changing hands, who knew what would happen next? It would surely shake the heavens and earth.
Seeing such a move from the Tribulation Immortal, the elderly auctioneer wasn't angry. With a single sweep of his hand, he collected the endless medicine pills and continued, saying:
"The next item for auction is called the Mountain Sea Pearl. It is a natural treasure formed by heaven and earth. It contains its own Mount Sea World where living beings can survive just as in the outside world. The starting bid is 1 million, with each increment of 100,000."
"A Mountain Sea Pearl with its own world? A Divine Transformation Cultivator can condense the prototype of a world. Except for not accommodating living beings, it is no different from the Mount Sea World. It's not very useful if bought, like a chicken rib.
Upon reaching the Mahayana Realm, one's inner world is perfected and can already accommodate living beings, so they wouldn't give a second glance at this Mountain Sea Pearl," a cultivator commented, shaking his head.
"You can't say that. How many can reach the Mahayana Realm? The Mountain Sea Pearl still has significant uses. I'll bid 1.1 million," another cultivator called out.
Looking at the Mountain Sea Pearl, Yang Ji was immediately tempted.
If he bought it, he could plant the germinated Taichu Divine Tree inside.
Furthermore, the Buddha Child wouldn't have to stay in his sleeve forever; he could live and cultivate inside the Mountain Sea Pearl.
Similarly, the Mountain Sea Pearl was also a movable Cave Mansion, great for storing treasures, and had many benefits.
Yang Ji immediately looked towards Bai Bi beside him. He had already borrowed once, so, steeling his heart, he decided to borrow again.
If the Taichu Divine Tree truly sprouted and grew, producing Spiritual Qi Fruit and Dao Energy Fruit, how could he worry about not being able to pay back this small amount of money?
The strong owe money to the bank, while only the weak deposit money into it. He was moving toward the path of the strong.
Seeing Yang Ji's gaze, Bai Bi immediately understood and smiled, "What? Fellow Daoist has taken a liking to the Mountain Sea Pearl too?"
"Yes, I wonder if I could borrow a bit more?" Yang Ji asked tentatively.
"Certainly," Bai Bi responded cheerfully. "Fellow Daoist, go ahead and bid. The medicine pills will be on the Myriad Realms Commerce Alliance."
"There won't be any additional conditions, will there?" Yang Ji asked cautiously, wondering if he should consider it if another condition was imposed.
"Let's include it in the previous condition," Bai Bi said with a smile.
"Thank you, fellow Daoist." Upon hearing her words, Yang Ji felt extremely grateful. The boldness of the Myriad Realms Commerce Alliance truly opened his eyes.
