~6 minute read · 1,493 words

After several hours, Luo Li finally arrived at Red Cloud City, dusty and worn.

Red Cloud City.

A vast city with a multitude of living beings, it is one of the top-tier metropolises in the expansive territory of the Red Sky Dynasty.

Upon entering the city.

Luo Li inquired along the way until she reached the entrance of the Heavenly Star Auction House.

The Heavenly Star Auction House is one of the largest auction houses in Red Cloud City, where virtually anything can be bought, including Divine Soldier Techniques, pills, and rare treasures.

The auction house was bustling with people, flocking in abundance.

Luo Li paused at the entrance and asked the young attendant, "Do you have Blood Spirit Ganoderma?"

"Miss, you’ve come to the right place!

We do indeed have Blood Spirit Ganoderma at the Heavenly Star Auction House, and the auction is about to start. Would you like to participate?"

The young attendant said with a playful smile.

"Naturally, I came here specifically for the Blood Spirit Ganoderma."

Luo Li smiled slightly and stepped inside.

Well!

This one looks like a wealthy young lady.

The young attendant was taken aback, intimidated by Luo Li’s demeanor, he quickly ran a few steps and led Luo Li to the top floor.

On the top floor auction hall, it was crowded at this moment, the rows of seats occupied by people everywhere.

"There are certainly a lot of people."

Luo Li was slightly startled; it seemed that this time the contest for Blood Spirit Ganoderma would be very fierce.

With the help of the young attendant, Luo Li received a bidding paddle and found a seat slightly towards the back.

A tall middle-aged beautiful woman, upon seeing Luo Li sit beside her, brightened her eyes and chuckled, "Little sister, you’re really good-looking!"

"Sister is lovely too."

Luo Li smiled with lips pursed.

This big sister next to her was indeed beautiful, especially her voluptuous and alluring curves, giving a breathtaking impression.

"Little sister, are you also here to bid for the Blood Spirit Ganoderma?"

The middle-aged beauty asked with a smile.

"Yes!"

Luo Li nodded.

The middle-aged beauty sized up Luo Li, beamed brilliantly and said, "Little sister, you have an extraordinary demeanor, are you from a prominent family?"

"You could say that; sister, you flatter me!"

Luo Li replied politely, her gaze lightly shifting to the distance, murmuring to herself, "With so many people competing, whoever wins the bid will likely bleed heavily in the end!"

"Isn’t that the truth!"

The middle-aged beauty also sighed, smiling wryly.

There’s only one Blood Spirit Ganoderma, but hundreds of competitors.

The competition was indeed too fierce.

Luo Li ceased speaking, looking thoughtfully at the auction table ahead.

After an hour.

The auction hall was finally full, every seat occupied, with not a single empty seat in sight.

Hence, the auction hall no longer accepted new entrants.

And the auction of the Blood Spirit Ganoderma was about to commence.

A white-haired old man, hands behind his back, slowly walked out.

Walking to the center, seeing the packed hall, his expression remained calm, offering only a faint smile.

Numerous cultivators smiled at this elder.

"Ahem!"

The white-haired elder cleared his throat and loudly proclaimed, "Ladies and gentlemen, the auction is now starting! As per the original owner’s commission, this auction’s transaction will no longer be primarily with Spirit Stones!"

Not primarily with Spirit Stones?

The surrounding cultivators buzzed upon hearing these words.

Especially some wealthy individuals, who were particularly disgruntled at this moment.

"This is too much, the Heavenly Star Auction House suddenly changing the transaction terms, what is this about?"

One cultivator stood up, speaking indignantly.

"Has the Heavenly Star Auction House ever said it must be a Spirit Stone transaction before?"

The elder looked at the cultivator indifferently and asked.

"No, it hasn’t!"

The cultivator thought for a moment, then shook his head.

"Exactly, if you want to bid for the Blood Spirit Ganoderma, you must comply with the Heavenly Star Auction House’s rules, understood?"

The white-haired elder said coldly.

"Alright!"

Intimidated by the elder’s authoritative demeanor, the cultivator sat back down, blushing with embarrassment.

The Heavenly Star Auction House holds significant power.

Its strength rivals that of a medium-grade Super Sect.

Ordinary people, simply cannot provoke them.

The white-haired elder coughed again, nodded slightly, with a changing expression, seemingly brewing something.

The hall was silent.

At this moment, everyone in the auction hall was closely watching the white-haired elder, waiting for him to announce the item of transaction for this auction.

After the emotions settled.

The white-haired elder raised his head and said in a deep tone, "The original owner is a powerful body-refining cultivator, and once informed the auction house that if someone could produce a pill surpassing Blood Spirit Ganoderma, or other rare treasures, then this Blood Spirit Ganoderma... can be taken directly!"

As these words were spoken, the minds of all cultivators in the auction hall buzzed in resonance, everyone was in an uproar.

"What the heck, did I hear that correctly, how could the original owner propose such ridiculous conditions?"

"Haha, offering something on par with or superior to the Blood Spirit Ganoderma in exchange for it, what kind of mythical idea is this?"

"In my view, this original owner must be crazy for profit, wanting to trade the Blood Spirit Ganoderma for even better rare treasures? Who would be so naive?"

"Ha, indeed!"

The crowd laughed and jeered collectively.

A black-clothed elder’s eyes flickered, he said indifferently, "But it’s not certain, after all..."

He paused mid-sentence.

"Right you are."

Another elder nodded, understanding, and echoed.

After all, many present knew of their intent in buying Blood Spirit Ganoderma, which was to enter the Spirit Abyss Ghost River.

As for some others.

They were unaware of the Spirit Abyss Ghost River affair, so their intent in purchasing Blood Spirit Ganoderma was merely for body refinement.

The entire auction hall was extremely noisy at this moment, with fervent discussions among the attendees.

The white-haired elder watched coldly, noticing that none could produce an item surpassing Blood Spirit Ganoderma.

His expression showed disappointment.

From the back seats, Luo Li observed this scene, her expression peculiar, blinking continuously.

It was her first time attending a large-scale auction, and she hadn’t expected such a lively scene.

"Little sister, the exchange conditions for the Blood Spirit Ganoderma are too harsh, I really can’t produce anything..."

The middle-aged beauty sighed softly.

She looked at Luo Li with a meaningful glance and asked, "Are you also planning to give up?"

"I won’t give up."

Luo Li smiled inconspicuously, her smile somewhat mysterious.

The middle-aged beauty’s expression stiffened.

Could this little girl really be capable of producing something comparable to Blood Spirit Ganoderma?

She prepared to wait and see.

The auction hall was lively, yet no one could produce an item surpassing Blood Spirit Ganoderma.

"Haha!" Someone laughed teasingly, "Manager, looks like this time it’s going to be a failed auction!"

"A failed auction is a failed auction, what’s the commotion!"

The white-haired elder was slightly annoyed, his gaze sharp, glaring fiercely at that person.

That cultivator quickly lowered his head, not daring to speak further.

The white-haired elder sighed, and slowly said, "Indeed, this auction’s conditions are a bit high, is there anyone else willing to bid?"

"Yes!"

Luo Li narrowed her eyes and smiled as she raised her paddle, then stood up slowly.

The white-haired elder’s eyes lit up, quickly asking, "What will you use for exchange?"

"This pill."

Luo Li flicked her fingers, sending a Dragon Tiger Pill over.

This was the God-level Dragon Tiger Pill bestowed upon her by her ancestors, and in more than a year, Luo Li had not consumed many.

In her storage ring, there were still over nine thousand God-level Dragon Tiger Pills left.

"Is this a Dragon Tiger Pill?"

The white-haired elder caught the pill, inspected it, and his heart skipped a beat.

What quality is this?

As one of the managers of the Heavenly Star Auction House, he was knowledgeable and experienced but had never seen a Dragon Tiger Pill of such quality.

Luo Li beamed and gently said, "Yes, it’s a Dragon Tiger Pill, excellent for refining the body and enhancing cultivation base..."

"Such high grade!"

The white-haired elder’s gaze fell upon the Dragon Tiger Pill in his hand, feeling the powerful aura, his mind was shook, murmuring to himself, "Young lady, the quality of your Dragon Tiger Pill, could it be God level?!"

God-level pill?

As the white-haired elder’s words were spoken, the entire auction hall became dead silent, everyone plunged into immense shock.

...

(Goodnight~)
