Trading the heavens starting from immortality

Chapter 84 Treasure Selling Ceremony: World Tree Fragments

Above the private box, in the plaza, stands a large altar, a full hundred feet in circumference. Around the plaza below the altar are rows of seats carved with dragons and phoenixes.

The seats are spacious and numerous, numbering as many as 100,000.

At this moment, these seats were filled with cultivators, who were discussing the matter animatedly.

They were all there for the treasures being auctioned.

In addition, there are VIP rooms similar to the one Fang Han is in upstairs, which are also occupied by important figures or people with great wealth.

Before long, the appointed time arrived, and a middle-aged woman holding a purple-gold pill box appeared on the altar. It was none other than "Thirteen Sister" from before.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today our Heavenly Dao Pavilion has acquired a treasure. It is a top-grade Heavenly Rank 'Yin Yang Longevity Pill,' and at the seller's request, it will be auctioned first! Because it is a top-grade Heavenly Rank pill, the starting price is one hundred million White Yang Pills, and each bid must be at least one million higher!"

The beautiful woman spoke in a clear voice, which resonated throughout the entire hall.

Then he opened the purple-gold pill box in his hand, revealing a pill sealed inside a crystal.

This elixir resembled a black and white tai chi sphere, and after it appeared, numerous strange phenomena emerged within a three-zhang radius around it.

"It's actually the Yin-Yang Longevity Pill! You should know that one pill can help an ordinary Divine Transformation Realm cultivator break through to the Divine Power Realm!"

"That's not all! Even a disciple of average talent in the Divine Transformation Realm can break through to the second level of True Qi with this pill."

It can even reach higher realms! It can be used for disciples or for personal consumption!

"I've heard that this elixir can increase one's lifespan by ten cycles of sixty years!"

"Heavens! A full six hundred years of lifespan! Even ordinary experts in the Divine Realm can't live that long! I've heard that only those Celestial Realm experts possess lifespans exceeding that!"

Many people were talking about it, never expecting to encounter such a treasure in the Heavenly Dao Pavilion today, and they were all envious.

Unfortunately, they couldn't afford such elixirs.

"One hundred and thirty million!"

Someone was bidding in one of the VIP rooms.

"One hundred and fifty million!"

The price of the elixir began to climb steadily, quickly surpassing 500 million, but it became difficult to continue rising.

Ultimately, the Yin-Yang Longevity Pill was purchased by a prince of the Great Xuan Empire for 589 million.

Such an outrageous price left many of the Taoist practitioners in the square speechless with astonishment.

Among them, even the wealthy ones only brought a few hundred thousand pills, and could only watch enviously as this particular pill was bought by someone else.

As far as Fang Han knew, those who could enter the VIP room were either powerful individuals at the fifth level of the Divine Power Realm or above; or individuals of considerable status and position, such as the son of a sect leader or a prince or grandson of the Great Xuan Empire; or extremely wealthy individuals with a net worth of millions.

After all, even for an ordinary expert at the seventh level of the Divine Power Golden Core Realm, it is not easy to accumulate assets of a million pills; they might need to auction off the magical artifacts they have painstakingly crafted to achieve this.

The price of 589 million pills was not much different from what "Thirteen Sister" had said. After deducting the "handling fee" of 0.5% for nearly 3 million pills, there was still a full 586,055,000 White Yang Pills left!

In just one auction, Fang Han's net worth skyrocketed to a level that most people couldn't even imagine.

It should be noted that the average value of a seventh-level Golden Core cultivator is only between tens of millions and hundreds of millions.

Next, Fang Han continued to keep an eye on today's auction, with Green Eyebrows attending to him.

At that moment, fifty guards dressed in yellow vests carried a jade box onto the altar.

Inside the jade box was a piece of divine iron, eight feet in size, shimmering with a dark golden light, and emanating endless Geng metal energy.

It would take fifty cultivators at the Divine Transformation Realm with five or six horsepower each to lift it. The weight of this eight-foot-long divine iron is at least close to three thousand horsepower.

It weighs a full 1,500 tons.

Even ordinary cultivators at the fourth level of the Yin-Yang Realm would find it difficult to lift it with their magical power.

"This piece of pure gold is called Western Taiyi Pure Gold, an excellent material for refining magical flying swords. The starting price is 500,000 White Yang Pills, with each bid increment no less than 10,000!"

The middle-aged woman explained.

The Western Taiyi True Gold is extremely precious. Even a piece of Taiyi True Gold the size of a fist might not be formed in a very pure Xuanjin earth vein, let alone a piece of Taiyi True Gold that is a full eight feet long. Its preciousness is self-evident.

This amount is enough to forge more than ten low-grade magic weapon flying swords, which can be sold for over a million pills!

In the square, many people were initially eager to participate, but upon hearing that at least 500,000 pills would be required, they immediately suppressed their desires.

"What a treasure! I'm about to cultivate the Great Freedom Profound Gold Sword Qi, and this piece of Western Taiyi True Gold will be of great use to me!"

Fang Han thought to himself.

To cultivate the Great Freedom Profound Gold Sword Qi, one must first transform one's magical power into Geng Gold magical power, which means merging one's spirit with the Geng Gold Qi between heaven and earth. Without sufficient Geng Gold Qi, it is difficult to cultivate successfully.

"Six hundred thousand!"

At Fang Han's prompting, Lü Mei called out the price.

"Six hundred and one thousand!"

Guests in other private rooms called out...

In the end, Fang Han acquired the Western Taiyi True Gold for 850,000 pills. The next dozens of treasures included a treasure pouch, low-grade magical artifacts, spirit-grade flying swords, spirit-grade robes, spirit-grade pill furnaces, and some spirit-grade and even earth-grade pills.

Fang Han then bid on two "Star Gathering Pills" and one "Jiazi Divine Pill", spending a total of 900,000 White Yang Pills.

The auction continues. "The next treasure is called the Venus Stone, a raw stone from the core of an extraterrestrial star. It is a sacred object for cultivating metal-based supernatural powers. The starting price is three million White Yang Pills, and each bid must be at least thirty thousand pills!"

The middle-aged woman explained.

Venusite is an extremely pure form of metal energy that is born only in stars that are rich in the five metal minerals of gold, silver, copper, iron, and lead. It is formed over tens or hundreds of millions of years through the continuous accumulation and brewing of the five metal energies.

Among the five elements, metal is the sharpest and governs killing and warfare.

This is a watermelon-sized stone radiating a platinum-gold light. Its sharp gleam could easily pierce the eyes of an ordinary person, demonstrating its extreme sharpness. Strands of platinum energy, like incredibly sharp needles, darted about, cutting in all directions with devastating force, much like flying swords.

This watermelon-sized metal stone weighs far more than the eight-foot-long Western Taiyi True Gold. The metal energy it contains is extremely vast, enough to transform all of Fang Han's magical power into Geng metal magical power, and there would even be a large surplus.

Fang Han won the bid for this piece of Venus stone for 5.3 million!

Soon, half a day had passed, and the last precious item of the day was unveiled.

It was a strange piece of wood, about the height of a person. It resembled a branch of a piece of wood, with a purplish-black cross-section. The growth rings on it were so close together that they were hard to count, but it had no woody smell at all, like a fossil left over from ancient times.

Then "Thirteen Sister" introduced, "This is an unnamed divine tree that was searched from the Ruins of Return. It may also be a fragment of some kind of Dao artifact. If someone can refine it, they will definitely get a huge benefit. The starting price is 100,000 pills, and each bid will not exceed 1,000 pills!"

"This is?"

Fang Han narrowed his eyes and immediately recognized the piece of wood based on its color and texture.

In the original story, in ancient times, the Xuanhuang Great World had a World Tree that could attract the energy of all the heavens and myriad worlds, making the Xuanhuang Great World the most powerful world among the three thousand great worlds.

Later, in ancient times, the gods invaded and waged war against the Xuanhuang Great World. The World Tree was also cut down by the Holy King, the progenitor of the gods, and countless fragments were scattered.

This piece of sacred wood is probably one of them.

Many people seemed to be interested in this divine wood, and bidding could be heard from many VIP rooms, with the price soaring from 100,000 pills to 2.5 million!

The growth rate is simply outrageous.

In the end, Fang Han acquired this piece of divine wood, which was suspected to be a fragment of the World Tree, for 2.9 million pills.

The other treasures that followed were mostly the same, such as some low-grade and mid-grade magical artifacts, rare spiritual herbs, and monster skeletons, which did not interest Fang Han.

This time, we will purchase Western Taiyi True Gold;

Two "Star Gathering Pills" and one "Jiazi Divine Pill";

A piece of Venus gold stone;

Fang Han spent a total of 9.95 million, which is nearly 10 million pills, on a single piece of divine wood fragment!

The balance in his "Crystal Card" now represents 576,105,000 White Yang Pills!
