Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 293 True Meaning Immortal Fruit, Activating the Blood Demon Curse

As Wanbaoge's top-tier auction held once every ten years, the auction features a total of 200 lots, including 180 regular lots, 20 high-quality lots, and 5 final lots.

Among the regular auction items, Su Yu and Qing Chan made seven bids in succession, ultimately winning three items.

Several hours later, after all the regular auction items had been sold, and after a short break of about an incense stick's time, the bell rang again in the hall, and the auctioneer's clear voice rang in everyone's ears:

"Next up is the auction of high-quality items. The first item is a tenth-tier magic treasure—the Yellow Sand Map."

As the beam of light descended, a scroll composed of countless golden sand grains suspended within it, constantly coalescing and changing. Su Yu's gaze fell upon it, and its attributes became apparent.

Yellow Sand Map (Tenth Tier): A divine treasure, it refines a world of yellow sand, containing heaven and earth, which can be divided and combined, collected and released, and can suppress all things.

The Yellow Sand Boundary contains a space with a diameter of 1000 kilometers. The master of the boundary can control the earth, fire, wind, and water of the boundary.

Ten Thousand Miles of Yellow Sand: Can control billions of sands to strike enemies. Each grain of sand has a power of 10 + 50% spell damage. Casting range is 50 kilometers. Mana cost is 300 points.

The Great Sandstorm Array: Activates 10800 sand stars to deploy a vast sandstorm array, with a cooldown time of 30 days.

Artifact Spirit: This treasure contains a newly born artifact spirit. When the artifact spirit's strength is fully formed and manifests in the world, it can be upgraded to a celestial treasure.

"Good stuff!"

It is stronger than the Myriad Stars Doumu Cauldron in Su Yu's hands, with similar attributes, but it has an additional 1000-kilometer yellow sand domain.

Based on the origin contained in this realm, this scroll of yellow sand has the potential to be upgraded to a celestial treasure.

Unfortunately, Su Yu already possessed the Zhenhai Pearl, so he couldn't possibly put in the effort to manage another realm.

Moreover, it would be impossible for him to develop this desert realm, as he could not find a second innate being to serve as the realm's spirit.

Therefore, it seemed like a useless thing to him.

But it was of little use to him; to others, it was an extremely valuable treasure. When the auctioneer made the offer:

"This treasure has a starting bid of 500 million gold, with each bid increment no less than 1 gold. Bidding begins now!"

The next second, a bunch of people started bidding, and even the guests in the surrounding private rooms began to bid. In less than a minute, the price soared to an extremely high level of tens of millions of gold.

After several rounds of back-and-forth negotiations, the final price reached a high of 1220 million gold.

The second item was another tenth-tier golden banner magic treasure, a rare item, which ultimately sold for 750 million gold, much less than the previous one.

The third item is a tenth-tier flying sword.

Su Yu considered it for a moment and ultimately decided not to buy it.

He needed to save money because before the second phase of the auction began, he received a list of auction items from the auction house, which contained information on all the remaining items, including five final pieces. Su Yu was very interested in several of them and planned to save the money for the auction later.

He bid on six items in a row, and his eyes lit up when he bid on the seventh item.

"It's finally out."

True Meaning Immortal Fruit (Slaughter) *10: Immortal Fruit containing the Law of Slaughter. Absorbing it will enhance or allow you to master the Law of Slaughter.

This thing has a simple function: absorbing it allows you to master the laws of killing ahead of time.

Logically speaking, this wouldn't be of much use to Su Yu, since he possesses the Law of Time.

However, Su Yu had a ticking time bomb in his mind: the Blood God Curse that had been placed on him when he killed the true disciple of the Blood Demon Hall. This thing could awaken the desires in his heart, making him more irritable and eager for blood and slaughter, and allowing him to comprehend the laws of blood and slaughter from blood and slaughter.

This thing is very difficult to break; even immortals who are not good at breaking curses are helpless.

But more importantly, Su Yu dared not ask anyone else for help to break the curse.

This curse is already entangled with his soul. To break it, he must expose his soul nakedly to others, which is equivalent to removing all defenses and leaving him vulnerable. If others have any ulterior motives, they can easily control him by manipulating his soul.

Therefore, he had to find a way to resolve the issue himself.

Over the years, he had learned about this matter from time to time and had indeed found a way to completely resolve the problem without any worries. That was to actively master the laws of killing and blood to make the Blood God Curse mature, and then sacrifice it to the laws of time, so that the curse could be lifted.

This Blood God Curse is a double-edged sword; if it cannot be controlled, one will be forever condemned; if it can be controlled, it can bring immense power.

Normally, mastering the laws of blood and slaughter through killing requires killing billions of living beings, and one will basically become addicted to killing and unable to extricate oneself.

However, if one forcibly feeds the curse to master the two laws through other methods, without the process of killing billions of living beings, one will naturally not sink into killing and bloodshed. On the contrary, one can use these two curses to nourish oneself.

After all, no matter what it is, whether it's improving cultivation level or cultivating the laws, the initial difficulty is not high.

Using this to supplement the main cultivation principles is time-saving, labor-saving, and achieves multiple benefits at once.

The starting bid for 10 True Killing Fruits was 100 million gold. Su Yu waited for half a minute until the number of bidders gradually decreased before starting to bid. He then raised the price to 310 million gold and successfully won the bid.

A dozen minutes later, the fourteenth item was an egg of an unknown wild beast.

The term "wild beasts" refers to powerful life forms that emerged at the dawn of the world. For example, in the ancient primordial era of the Earthly Immortal Realm, such beings possessed incredibly strong physiques, capable of directly absorbing primordial spiritual energy, and were born with a mastery of a law. Upon reaching adulthood, they were comparable to immortals. This refers to even the weakest wild beasts being comparable to immortals; higher-ranking wild beasts, on the other hand, possessed strength comparable to Xuanxian or even Jinxian.

This wild beast egg comes from a secret realm. Its grade is unknown, but its life essence is extremely powerful, and it still has the potential to hatch.

Su Yu thought that the Zhenhai Realm was filled with primordial spiritual energy, which was suitable for wild beasts to live in, so she could try raising one.

The starting bid for this wild beast egg was 100 million, but there were more bidders than he had expected. After more than a minute of bidding, he finally won it with a bid of 420 million gold.

After purchasing the wild beast egg, a total of 784 million gold was spent, leaving 1386 million gold remaining, enough to acquire another tenth-tier magic weapon. However, Su Yu's trip to the auction house was now over.

There are still many good things left, but he doesn't plan to film any more.

The others are either not very useful, or the ones that are very useful are unaffordable.

The five final items are all worth at least 30 million each.

Su Yu opened the panel and immediately looked at the last five items.

A finished space-based fortress has a starting bid of 5000 million, and the final price is estimated to double.

A gourd of Three Lights Divine Water, containing 3 drops, is the number one healing elixir in the world. It can cure all poisons in the world, cure all so-called incurable injuries, and even save the soul from obliteration. The saying that even a Great Immortal cannot save you does not apply here. Its effects are truly heaven-defying.

The starting bid was 3000 million, but the actual transaction price is estimated to be higher than that of the space-based fortress.

The Demon Saint's Heart, a sacred object for body refinement, may be able to create an extremely powerful spirit pet. Starting bid: 6000 million gold.

Daoyuan Crystal: Manifestation of the laws of the Great Dao. After refining it, one can directly master one law, and the highest level is the Celestial Immortal. Starting bid: 10000 million gold.

Note that mastering the laws only makes you comparable to an immortal, it doesn't directly make you an immortal.

The Myriad Gu Mother Cauldron (Damaged Immortal Treasure): An ancient immortal treasure, a treasure used by the ancient witch clan to refine Gu, capable of containing myriad Gu.

Attribute: Myriad Gu Mother Qi. The Mother Cauldron refines billions of poisonous insects and Gu creatures, condensing into a Myriad Gu Mother Qi. It can suppress and release myriad Gu, and can also release to injure enemies. Each Myriad Gu Mother Qi deals Gu poison damage equal to 100 million + 100% of the target's magic damage. The flesh and blood of the killed target are refined into a part of the Myriad Gu Mother Qi. Casting range is 100 kilometers. Mana consumption is 10000 points.

Tip: Activating the Mother Cauldron will create a layer of defensive barrier with 100 million defense power for each strand of Myriad Gu Mother Qi. This barrier can be stacked infinitely, making the user impervious to all poisons. It can be large or small, with a maximum radius of 10000 meters.

Attributes: Myriad Gu Mother Cauldron. Using this cauldron to refine Gu worms increases their level by 50 and has a certain probability of upgrading the Gu worm template, with a maximum of Legendary template.

Tip: Incorporating the Mother Qi of Ten Thousand Gu during Gu refining can greatly improve the level and template of the Gu worm. The specific improvement depends on the level and template of the Gu worm.

Attribute: Gu Realm. The cauldron contains its own world, capable of holding billions of poisonous Gu worms. The Gu worms do not need to be fed blood in the cauldron and will quickly recover from their injuries. Feeding them blood has a chance to increase the level of the poisonous Gu worms in the cauldron.

The starting bid for this item is 100 million gold, and each bid increment is no less than 1 million gold.

Su Yu could use and find each of these five final items useful, but what could he do if he couldn't afford them? Even with his and Qing Chan's combined funds, they couldn't buy them.

He only had 1386 million gold left, and Qingchan only had 600 million gold.

The two remained spectators during the subsequent auction, watching as numerous cultivators vied for these treasures, and marveling at the ever-increasing prices.

"These powerful forces that have been passed down for tens of thousands of years are incredibly wealthy."

For Su Yu to reach such a level of wealth, it would take at least several hundred years of accumulation.

If we can dominate the East China Sea, it should take about a hundred years.

However, this is only superficial accumulation; the underlying substance is far from sufficient.

Half an hour later, the auction ended, and the two got up and left. They went to the handover site to receive the auctioned recipe and the True Meaning Immortal Fruit.

Qingchan was not auctioned off. As a direct descendant of the Zhongyuan Luo Clan, the family would provide whatever she wanted, so there was nothing she was in urgent need of.

After leaving Wanbaoge and returning to his cave, Su Yu immediately placed an order on Wanbaoge's official website—to purchase 10 True Meaning Immortal Fruits of the Blood Law for 300 million taels of gold.

He spent over seven million gold at this auction. His membership level had already been upgraded from the fourth level of Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow. He went straight to the Earth level, an absolute high-level member, with many privileges, including the ability to place his own orders.

A week later, Wanbaoge delivered ten Blood Law True Meaning Immortal Fruits.

Once I got my hands on the goods, I immediately went into seclusion.

The Blood Law True Meaning Immortal Fruit looks like a blood fruit, its surface surrounded by countless tiny law runes forming a flowing light of law.

Holding the Immortal Fruit of True Law in his hand, Su Yu communicated with it through his thoughts, and in an instant, endless blood surged like a tsunami, instantly engulfing his consciousness.

Blood is a lower-level law, but it is often mixed with the higher-level law of killing.

By mastering the laws of blood, one can control the blood of living beings, tap into the power of blood, and thus access deeper levels of power such as bloodlines.

However, regardless of the circumstances, bloodshed is merely a lower-level law with limited potential.

But the Law of Slaughter is powerful; it's a pure law of slaughter, and one of the best among the superior laws, greatly enhancing one's strength.
