Chapter 2: No one is allowed to be more extravagant than me
However, before long, Fumi's bid was surpassed. The bidder was Sheyue from the Star Picking Sect. Fumi and Sheyue had met a few times, and not wishing to compete with Sheyue, she refrained from placing another bid
The woman in the Tianzi box made another bid, saying, "I am willing to exchange for the Moon String Flower."
Piaomiao, with a serious expression, said: "Princess, please do not act recklessly. That woman's cultivation has already reached the Great Perfection of the Starry Realm, and the man's realm is beyond my comprehension." Given that Piaomiao's own cultivation has reached the Great Perfection of the Innate Realm, Fei Mi naturally could not suppress her anger.
Fumi felt a surge of excitement in her heart, as she did not expect Ge Wuyou to put the "Creation Technique" up for auction first, which saved her the time of waiting
Fu Mi also knew that she had acted foolishly; impulsiveness is the devil. However, in front of so many people, she felt too embarrassed to go back on her word, and the Shanghai Auction House did not allow her to retract her decision
However, for these mortals, not to mention becoming gods, even achieving immortality is far beyond their reach
The first bidder is the Ice Queen, "I offer the Ice Flame Spell in exchange." The Ice Flame Spell is the treasured national artifact of the Ice State royal family and is also a celestial-level spell
The divine crystal is not just a small stone found on the ground; it is not something that can be casually picked up. Suddenly, three of them appeared, which is truly incredible
Fumie frowned and spoke up, saying: "Add one more Golden Crow Lotus and one Earth Walking Lotus."
Only then did Fu Mi see the woman opposite her still smiling serenely, slowly saying: "I am willing to add a drop of flower moon true water."
Subsequently, bids were made one after another, and the once rare celestial-level spells seemed as common as cabbages on the street, available to everyone.
The most precious aspect of the divine bone is the divine light, which may contain the will of the celestial beings. However, this divine light is on the verge of extinction, with very little remaining, significantly diminishing its value. Understanding the will contained within it becomes exceedingly difficult. Without the necessary insight, even if given an additional 500 years, one would still be unable to comprehend it.
The Whale People of the South China Sea: "I exchanged for it with the mermaid princess"
Upon hearing the words "Creation Technique," a stir arose at the scene. The Creation Technique is a celestial-level cultivation method from the Lower State, extremely rare, and is likely to be possessed only by major sects and academies, where it is regarded as their treasured possession.
The true water of the flower moon is said to have the power to revive all withered spirits and plants in the world. For a lotus demon like Fu Mi, it is akin to receiving life once more
In Fu Mi's heart, she had already imagined that man as a flamboyant figure who descended to the mortal realm to indulge in pleasures, wishing she could end his life with a single cut of the scissors
When no one else placed a bid, Fu Mi signaled to her chief maid, Piao Miao, who sweetly said: "My princess is willing to exchange a piece of divine crystal stone."
Indeed, it is intolerable; how can one endure this? Fumi has been greatly angered. She has always been the one envied and admired for her wealth, but unexpectedly today, a white, rich beauty has emerged, which truly makes one grit their teeth in frustration. Moreover, this woman's appearance is not much inferior to her own.
Because Fu Mi herself, although born of noble lineage and bathed in precious medicines since childhood, nurturing her stomach with sacred elixirs, her cultivation level is merely at the second stage of the acquired realm, the marrow cleansing stage. The acquired realm has six stages, while the innate realm has three stages, and Fu Mi is significantly behind that woman in terms of levels.
Since her birth, Fumi has never been suppressed like this; her heart is ablaze with anger, wishing she could teach this woman a severe lesson. Therefore, she quietly asked Piaomiao, "Can we beat her up?"
Others naturally understand this principle as well, and they all feel regret for this "Bone of Immortality" that seems to be on the verge of losing its ethereal quality, wishing it had been discovered a few hundred years earlier
Is there anyone else bidding? Ge Wuyou's hand holding the hammer trembled slightly, as he did not expect that the first auction item would stir up such a high tide.
Fumie absolutely detested that woman, thinking to herself: "The Flower Moon Valley, huh? This princess is not afraid of you. Sooner or later, I will make you unable to finish what you have and carry it all away."
Do not be misled by the fact that Fu Mi made her entrance with eight innate masters clearing the way; however, in Lianzhou, there are at most only a couple dozen innate masters. This mysterious woman, upon making her move, produced ten Xixin Pills, demonstrating truly grand ambition
She Yue has once again made a bid, offering a treasure from the Star Picking Sect in exchange
The subsequent auction items were rather unremarkable until a piece of bone appeared, which was clearly a segment of a fibula. The bone was as smooth as jade, resembling a piece of jade in the shape of a bone
The crowd was in an uproar, as the mermaid princess was said to be the most beautiful in the world, and mermaid tears were known to be extremely toxic; once contaminated, there would be no possibility of further advancement in one's cultivation. Furthermore, mermaid blood was considered a delicacy in the world, and consuming it could grant the ability to become invisible.
Although Fumi was determined to obtain the "Creation Technique," she could not produce two pieces of divine crystal and could only watch helplessly as the technique ultimately belonged to that woman
Fumi took another look at the woman, a faint smile playing on her lips, her demeanor dignified yet somehow irritating. Fumi glanced at Miaomiao, who spoke up: "My princess is willing to exchange a Flame Lotus and a Green Wood Lotus."
The first item up for auction today is "The Art of Creation"
Fumi let out a sigh of relief, as it seemed that the appraiser at the auction house had not recognized this as a fragment of divine bone. However, Fumi understood this, for the divine light within this bone had dwindled to mere specks; if it went unnoticed, it would surely dissipate within a hundred years.
The whale folk took out a crystal-clear bottle from their bosom, which was evidently a spatial treasure. Inside, a mermaid was drifting, and upon focusing their spiritual power to look, it was indeed breathtakingly beautiful, rivaling even the likes of Bufu. For those who cherish beauty, even without the treasures of mermaid tears and mermaid blood, they would likely go to great lengths to exchange for this mermaid princess.
The woman took out so many items from Huayue Valley, which must be related to Huayue Valley. Her cultivation is only at the Star Realm, so she is likely not a person from the upper realm, but merely clinging to the thigh of a man from the upper realm.
However, the private room with the character "地" allows Fu Mi to clearly see the couple from the opposite private room with the character "天". Although Fu Mi cannot discern the depth of their cultivation, she believes that those from the upper realm who can even appreciate the things from the lower state are probably not that profound.
The Art of Creation is particularly alluring to the practitioners of the demon race, as it allows them to transform all things in the world for their own use. For the demon race, it can also conjure spiritual forms that can deceive others, making it akin to an immortal divine ability
The Flame Lotus is one of the five great immortal lotuses of Lianzhou, classified as an immortal-grade material. Even among the hands of the Lianzhou Lotus Emperor, there are only a few specimens.
The Heart Cleansing Pill also belongs to Huayue Valley. When transitioning from the acquired realm to the innate realm, it can assist individuals in eliminating inner demons. Possessing ten Heart Cleansing Pills is equivalent to having ten innate masters.
The Five Elements Lotus of Lianzhou has been fully assembled, and obtaining it allows one to cultivate the Great Method of the Five Elements. This is something that many would be willing to risk everything to seek.
Divine Crystal is a material of quasi-divine grade. If refined properly, it is possible to forge divine-grade treasures, which are of far greater value than the techniques of the Immortal Realm. Moreover, it is rumored that Divine Crystal can connect with divinity and allow one to comprehend the divine path. In this world, everyone desires to ignite the divine fire and become a deity, including the powerful beings from the upper realm who also aspire to attain divinity.
This is undoubtedly a blatant provocation
The woman said again, "I would like to add another meditation cushion."
When the beam on the auction stage rose, Fumi finally shifted her gaze away from the pair of men and women.
As soon as all the bidders heard Fumi's bid, they knew they had no chance, and it was clear that the master of the Creation Technique would surely choose her
As for the fact that the powerful beings of the upper realm are constrained by the rules of heaven and earth and find it difficult to break through these regulations to reach the lower states, Fu Mi chose to selectively ignore it, believing that they must have stumbled upon a space-time rift to descend.
If she is not mistaken, this should be a fragment of a divine bone. Even the gods have perished, and it is unknown what kind of great war occurred during the ancient times
The Moon String Flower is the teaching flower of the most mysterious sect, the Flower Moon Sect, among the three thousand states. It is extraordinarily marvelous, and it is said that consuming it aids in absorbing the essence of the moon, surpassing the quality of the Flame Lotus slightly.
Fumi squinted her eyes, surprised that the auction house in the magic city had the ability to find such items. Born with a keen sense of perception, Fumi was lazy in her cultivation, yet she had a knack for identifying valuable things.
"Princess!" floated out in surprise, but unfortunately, Ge Wuyou's hammer quickly descended, fearing that Princess Fumi might have a change of heart
"This is what my auction house's team discovered in an ancient Taikoo ruin; it should be the bones of an ancient immortal," Ge Wuyou said
It is presumed that everyone has heard of the Creation Technique, and I shall not elaborate further. The owner of this technique hopes to exchange it for a technique or magical treasure of the same level, or materials.
Everyone was in an uproar. The meditation cushion woven from the concentrated spirit grass allows one to dispel all inner demons when seated upon it. Even upon reaching the innate realm, using the concentrated spirit grass cushion during meditation can yield twice the result with half the effort, and one will not fall into the path of demonic cultivation
Fumi clenched her fists, feeling that the people from the upper realm were too bullying. Why hasn't the Heavenly Dao's laws struck these two with lightning yet?
Even Ge Wuyou wanted to strike the hammer, and the gavel fell to finalize the decision, but the woman in the Tianzihao private room spoke up, "I will offer two pieces of divine crystal stones"
The hall of the auction house in the Magic City resembles a deep, bottomless pit, with dim lighting that makes it difficult for those without special vision to even see the person sitting next to them
A piece of bone that is about to lose its celestial glow can be exchanged for a piece of divine crystal, which is truly worthwhile
Fumie thought for a moment and asked Piaomiao to raise the price, "My princess is willing to add another Water Moon Lotus."
The mysterious woman seemed to be getting more intense, "Add ten more Heart Cleansing Pills."
Someone exclaimed: "Crazy, crazy!"
Since there is Zhuge Liang, why is there also Zhuge Jin
Fu Mi, in a fit of excitement, declared: "I will put forth a piece of divine crystal stone." She simply did not believe that this woman possessed a third piece of divine crystal stone
There are not many bidders, and the bids are not particularly high. Fu Mi believes that as the "Bone of the Gods," acquiring one would be quite good, and she gestures for Piao Miao to place a bid, "One Flame Lotus."
