Chapter 1105: Begin

This immemorial wood was no longer around - a sacred item lost due to time.

The manager immediately arranged for a senior wisdom master to come in order to appraise the material. This old man’s cultivation was immense since he was the one who analyzed the great saint’s blood.

He only took a short time before verifying it. He stroked his beard and nodded: “It is a block of immemorial wood, its value is incalculable. This is the second-ranked auction tonight then.”

He couldn’t come up with a definite price and started the bidding price at 10,000 dragon spirit stones.

This exceeded Feng Feiyun’s expectations. Although this block was big for the outside world, it was only a tiny piece compared to the real thing.

The auctioneer was a beauty from the red crane tribe. She was in her prime with rosy lips and prime teeth, exuding an irresistible charm.

“Tonight, we have a total of 543 rare treasures up for auction, each of them is unique and wondrous, you will not be disappointed, esteemed guests. I now announce the start of the auction. Our beauty from the fox tribe will now present the first.” She announced.

The auction house became quiet in anticipation.

A fox demoness with three tails walked up the stage while holding a crystal tray with a leather scroll on top.

A few cultivators could tell that it was special since it was made from the hide of a vision beast - a species from Time Immemorial.

Putting the content aside, just the material alone was valuable.

The crane beauty introduced: “Made from the hide of a vision beast with a total of 475 volumes and 84,000 verses from the World Destruction Tablet.”

Rumor has it that the tablet contains a shocking event. The ancestors of the tribes used their blood to copy the content.

No one understood why they trade their lives to do so. Nonetheless, when someone gathered enough runes, they would be able to understand the content.

Every race tried to collect them but none had all the runes.

“That’s a sizable collection, the seller must be a big shot from the vision beast.” Mo Yaoyao said.

Feiyun was surprised as well, just the first item was rather precious.

Back in Jin, Sacred Spirit Palace had one as well, treating it as their legacy. However, that paled in comparison to this collection.

“The runes are paid with the blood of their ancestors, no one wants to sell it. Someone must have stolen it from them.” Feiyun shook his head.

The auctioneer was happy to see the guests expressing interest in the first treasure. She smiled and said: “The rule of our auction house is that the minimum currency will be dragon spirit stones. This scroll starts at 80 stones with each bid increment no less than one stone. Let us begin.”

One dragon stone was equal to 100,000,000 true mysterious stones.

A single one was considered the defining treasure at Jin, used to contain its divine providence. Here, it was the smallest denomination.

The experts here would consider a single stone more precious than all of Jin since the dynasty was useless to them.

“80.”

“81.”

“82.”

This was not a small sum so everyone bid carefully.

“100.” Someone finally took it to the next level.

“105.”

“108.”

A man with a fierce gaze and hawked-nose out from one of the VIP rooms. He declared: “This is a sacred item from our tribe, I bid 200 stones right now. If anyone dares to raise the price, you will become our enemy.”

A chilling air took over the auction house - he was definitely an expert from there.

The auctioneer reminded: “Sir, you are not following the rules of the auction house. Everyone is free to bid, threats and intimidation tactics are not allowed.”

“You’re right, Miss Qianqian. I apologize for my lack of civility.” The old man sneered and gazed at the room one more time before leaving.

No one wanted to offend this fierce tribe and gave up on bidding.

The next treasures had a high starting price as well - “seven-colored spring”, “Eight-source herb”, “Seventeenth-ranked immemorial weapon”...

Feiyun ended up getting two treasures - an earth spirit jewel and a soul-calming talisman.

The jewel was formed from the pure essences of the earth. He spent 350 stones on it since he wanted to give it to Long Luofu. Wearing the jewel will allow her to gather energy faster and stabilize the fetus.

The soul-calming talisman was something from hell itself. It had a red shade like blood with strange runes. He only spent 50 stones on it.

He took a look at the talisman and didn’t find it special.

“Why did you tell me to grab this thing?” He asked Yaoyao.

“Aren’t you going to the first gate soon? It will be useful there.” She revealed a mysterious smile.

“How do you know this?” His eyes narrowed.

“It won’t be your first time there either, you and that spirit bamboo. I’m sure you will try again.” She smiled.

“I have the same question again.” He said.

“Haha.” She laughed and changed the topic: “The immemorial wood is next, prepare for a sky-high price.”

Meanwhile, the auctioneer put on a strange smile and said: “The next treasure is from Time Immemorial. I will say that the starting price will be… 10,000 dragon stones.”

“!” This caused quite a stir.

“The saint’s blood already?” Most were here for the blood.

“No, the blood’s starting price should be higher.”

“What else can warrant such a high starting bid?”

After seeing that the atmosphere was right, the auctioneer said: “The 240th treasure, Immemorial Heavenwood.”

Cultivators became shocked right away. Even Prince Tyrant and Phoenix Goddess couldn’t believe it. They stood up and gazed at it intensely.

There were too many legends regarding this tree. For the golden crows, it used to be the home of their saints.

However, at the end of Time Immemorial, it was cut down by the divine phoenix. This led to the decline of the golden crows and they were no longer competitive.

Rumor has it that the phoenix took the tree in order to prolong its lifespan. This saint disappeared afterward.

According to some, the phoenix failed the process and decided to use the tree as a coffin instead.

Today, a block of the tree was found. Did this mean that someone had found the grave of the divine phoenix? Or was the divine phoenix back now?

The implications were truly thought-provoking. Even the two great geniuses lost their composure.
