「Several hundred years later.」
The immortal seed had beco a young seedling, taking root in his Sea of Consciousness, slowly growing under the nourishnt of his Golden Crow Immortal Body's bloodline.
This immortal seed was catalyzed by the Bronze Ancient Mirror into a Fusang tree seedling, growing along with my Immortal Fate...
So, this immortal seed...
Xu Xing looked towards the auction stage, his eyes flickering slightly.
Back then, the reason he was able to obtain this immortal seed was not only due to Giant Sword Daoist Monarch, a Nascent Soul Grand Practitioner, regarding him as his successor. It was also because Ren Yuanrui, the Sect Master of Flying Feather Immortal Palace, valued him and thus granted him this immortal seed.
The Purple Lightning Sect is unaware of the origins of this immortal seed and puts it up for trade at the Nine Kingdoms Exchange eting. It is highly likely that their Nascent Soul Saint Monarch sched this...
Xu Xing suppressed his thoughts and maintained a calm deanor, acting as if he was completely uninterested in this immortal seed.
"This immortal seed is said to be the seed of an ancient Immortal Tree. Unfortunately, Our Sect does not have the ability to hatch it..." the beautiful woman on stage continued her introduction.
After her introduction, the auction in the Great Hall began. Unlike the previous lively auction for the Breaking Pill, only a few people called out bids for this immortal seed.
"Ten feet of black rhino wood, plus twenty million Spirit Shells."
"Three Two of dragon intrinsic gold..."
Before long, the Nascent Soul Grand Practitioners on the third floor could no longer contain themselves and began bidding for this immortal seed. Nascent Soul Grand Practitioners were only one step away from the Nascent Soul Stage. This one step was difficult to overco relying on Cultivation thods and accumulation alone; they needed to find another opportunity. This immortal seed might be the very opportunity they were looking for, so they could not afford to be careless.
"Eleven feet of black rhino wood, plus thirty million Spirit Shells!" a burly man in golden armor, with his arms crossed, raised the price once more.
"That's Golden Armor Venerate..."
"It seems he has so grievances with our Imasurable Sect..." Yan Luanqing looked up at the third-floor pavilion and whispered a reminder to Xu Xing.
The Nine Kingdoms Exchange eting hosted hundreds of Nascent Soul Cultivators, but Nascent Soul Grand Practitioners were few, only about twenty or thirty. Golden Armor Venerate was quite tall, at twelve feet, making him rather conspicuous among the Nascent Soul Grand Practitioners.
"The grievances may be unfounded rumors; don't worry about it." Xu Xing shook his head and retracted his gaze. Nascent Soul Grand Practitioners were extrely sensitive. If he and Yan Luanqing stared for too long, they would likely be noticed.
After Golden Armor Venerate raised the price, the Cultivators in the Great Hall dared not continue bidding, deterred by his reputation. This was also why Nascent Soul Grand Practitioners often revealed their identities in the Great Hall; their fa and strength could save them a considerable amount of unnecessary expenditure.
"It seems that this immortal seed..." the beautiful woman on the auction stage smiled at the crowd, her delicate hand raised, seemingly ready to strike the gavel, "will belong to Golden Armor Venerate..."
"Golden Armor Venerate," a cold, elderly man in a corner of the third floor slowly spoke, "your primary Cultivation thod is of the Gold elent. This immortal seed is of the Wood elent; it's better to cede it to this Old Man."
"Seven Two of kite red flowers..." he called out a price.
The words fell, and the Cultivators present erupted into a commotion. Everyone had co to the Nine Kingdoms Exchange eting to bid for Cultivation Resources, with the highest bidder winning. Generally, they would avoid making enemies. Though the cold elderly man's tone was calm, his words were provocative, suggesting he wasn't rely bidding.
Extre Yin Elder... Xu Xing squinted. In Reality, due to his cautious nature and adherence to a low-profile approach, he had no direct interactions with this cold elderly man. However, according to the fate recomndations within the Nascent Soul Realm, they were not on good terms. Extre Yin Elder's overt identity was rely that of a Freelance Cultivator. However, his true identity was that of a House Elder of the Emperor's Son Pavilion, a position of high status and great power.
"Extre Yin old ghost, your Cultivation thod is of the ghost path, not the Wood elent! What use do you have for this immortal seed?" Golden Armor Venerate snorted coldly and retorted.
"Recently, this Old Man has taken in a disciple with a Wood-elent spirit body who just happens to need this immortal seed..." Extre Yin Elder cackled, casually spinning a lie. Although the rules of the Nine Kingdoms Exchange eting stipulated that the highest bidder wins, its underlying purpose was "mutual assistance." Therefore, malicious price hiking was generally discouraged. Of course, even if soone like Extre Yin Elder casually fabricated a reason, the Purple Lightning Sect, as the organizer, would not readily expose it.
"This Venerate will add another two feet of Gold Rhino Wood!" Golden Armor Venerate shot a disdainful glance at Extre Yin Elder in the corner, looking as if he'd swallowed a fly, and raised the price again.
Instantly, the two began a fierce bidding war.
After two rounds of bidding, Extre Yin Elder sneered and did not continue to raise the price. "It seems my disciple's luck is lacking." He sighed. "This Old Man is useless, unable to pave the way for the younger generation..."
"Seventeen feet of Gold Rhino Wood, plus sixty million Spirit Shells!"
"This immortal seed will belong to Golden Armor Venerate!" The beautiful woman coughed gently and struck the gavel.
Extre Yin Elder and Golden Armor Venerate have no significant grudges. They likely raised the price so aggressively for items to be auctioned later...
The idea is to make the other party overspend on earlier lots, so when an item they truly desire appears later, they can secure it decisively...
The Cultivators privately analyzed the tactics of this auction.
It's just not clear what item Extre Yin Elder is so determined to get...
It's a pity we aren't Nascent Soul Grand Practitioners. If we were, we could have obtained the list of items each sect is trading in advance... the Cultivators sighed among themselves.
Soon, the beautiful woman on the auction stage began the next round of the auction. However, the subsequent auction items were sowhat lackluster, far from being as enticing as the Breaking Pill and the immortal seed.
