Deep Sea Blue Heart

Upon hearing the price, those below the Dou Emperor realm cast regretful glances. Two million had exceeded their expectations, and competing against so many powerhouses for it obviously wasn't worth the gain.

Squinting, Lu Man from the Sky Serpent Mansion said, "Flying Dou Techniques are extremely useful for those below the Dou King level. I happen to know a young girl who could make good use of it."

"Elder Qing, raise the bid."

"Yes!" The enchanting woman sitting next to Lu Man nodded and raised the number plate on the table. "Three million gold coins."

When the Sky Serpent Mansion directly raised the bid to three million gold coins, those who were just there for the fun had to sensibly give up. They didn't have the financial capacity to compete for the flying Dou Technique.

Seeing the Sky Serpent Mansion make a move, the Misty Cloud Sect also raised their bid; to be exact, Yun Yun was the one who made the move.

Not only was the Misty Sect one of the sects within the Jia Ma empire, but she also wanted to secure the flying Dou technique for her disciple, Nalan Yanran. She believed it would help her greatly in her cultivation path.

"Four million gold coins."

"Sure enough, Misty Cloud Sect is so generous. But I'm sorry. The Cloud Dragon Wings are something our Sky Serpent Mansion must get."

Lu Man showed a bewitching smile. As a Dou Emperor powerhouse in the Black-Corner Region, she couldn't just give up. Otherwise, she would be ridiculed by those guys later.

"Four million five hundred thousand gold coins."

Now, the bidding was only between the Misty Cloud Sect and the Sky Serpent Mansion. As the Great Elder of the Yun Lan Sect, Yun Leng continuously persuaded the Sect Leader to reconsider. Spending millions of gold coins for this item was really unnecessary.

Moreover, the little sect master would inevitably break through to the Dou King level in the future. Purchasing the flying Dou Technique seemed redundant.

However, Yun Yun thought differently. Yanran's three-year agreement was about to begin, and as her teacher, she couldn't just stand by. She wouldn't miss anything that could enhance her strength.

Great Elder Yun Leng let out a deep sigh. "Sect Leader, we must not act on impulse. We still need to bid on the next items."

"Enough!" Yun Yun shouted sternly, "Don't forget, I am the Sect Leader of the Misty Cloud Sect!"

Hearing this, Great Elder Yun Leng sighed helplessly. He dared not disobey the Sect Leader's order and could only sit back in his chair, feeling somewhat resentful.

The other elders around them also cast sympathetic glances. Their assets couldn't compare to those of the Black-Corner Region's lot.

Yun Yun declared, "No matter how much the opponent bids, we will raise the bid."

A black-robed man sitting in the hall on the first floor looked serious, his eyes glaring viciously at the woman in the second-floor box, fists tightly clenched.

"Xiao Yan, don't act rashly. It's just a flying Dou Technique. Don't you have one too?"

"Teacher, I'm unwilling!" Xiao Yan said angrily, "Why should Nalan Yanran get the flying Dou Technique so easily while I have suffered so much? Why!"

Yao Lao's voice slowly echoed in Xiao Yan's ears, "This world is inherently unfair. Some are born tall, others short. Some are born to power and privilege, others to low status. Fairness is just an empty word."

Hearing his teacher's reminder, Xiao Yan gave a bitter smile. Indeed, his birth had already put him far behind these favored children of heaven.

However, Xiao Yan believed that he would make Nalan Yanran pay the corresponding price.

"Thirty years east, thirty years west, don't you dare bully me because I'm poor now!"

(T/N: Kitaaaa!! Here comes the famous quote by Xiao Yan!)

Lu Man from the Sky Serpent Mansion frowned. "Sect Master Yun, are you planning to compete with our Sky Serpent Mansion to the end?"

"Friend, the flying Dou Technique is very useful to my disciple. If you're willing to let me have it, Yun Yun will owe you a favor."

Upon hearing this, Elder Lu Man of the Sky Serpent Mansion looked a bit displeased. Although she wasn't afraid of the Misty Cloud Sect's financial power, the other side's relentless pursuit was indeed bothersome.

It might be better to sell her a favor. If needed in the future, she could invite her to do something for them. A favor from a Dou Emperor was indeed worth the loss.

After some thought, Elder Lu Man looked towards the Misty Cloud Sect's position and beamed brightly, "In that case, I will give Sect Master Yun this favour."

"Thank you." Yun Yun courteously cupped her hands.

"Five million gold coins, going once!"

"Five million gold coins, going twice!"

"Five million gold coins, sold!"

"Let us congratulate the Misty Cloud Sect's Sect Master for winning the flying Dou Technique Cloud Dragon Wings for five million gold coins!"

Seeing that no one else was bidding, Ling Long decisively struck the gold gavel.

Great Elder Yun Leng sighed heavily. Spending four million gold coins on a flying Dou Technique—the Sect Leader was truly muddle-headed!

Li Xiao, sipping tea on the third floor, smiled slightly. Thing started to become interesting.

This auction had already amazed everyone. They hadn't expected the Heaven Ascending Pavilion to have such rich resources. Whether it was the Amethyst Birth Source or the high rank flying Dou Technique, they were all rare treasures.

Instead of using them themselves, they put them up for auction, which seemed like a waste.

In fact, it wasn't. There was a reason Li Xiao didn't cultivate the flying Dou Technique himself. The system had given him a hint that all items purchased through the system had to be auctioned off; the host couldn't use them unless they were rewards.

Li Xiao had initially complained about the system's unfairness, but the system had told him that future rewards might include Heaven-rank flying Dou Techniques.

The Cloud Dragon Wings were only a low Earth-rank Dou Techniques, so it was better to auction it off and obtain more gold coins.

The auction continued with more high-quality items, with exclamations of surprise frequently heard. As more rare treasures appeared, the atmosphere became increasingly heated.

"Next up for auction is a treasure from the ocean, the Deep Sea Blue Heart!"

Upon hearing these four words, the crowd looked puzzled. They didn't know what it was, having never heard of it.

However, Yao Lao in Xiao Yan's ring was extremely excited. "It's really the Deep Sea Blue Heart..."

"Teacher, what is the Deep Sea Blue Heart?" Xiao Yan asked in confusion.

Before Yao Lao could explain, the auctioneer Linglong introduced the Deep Sea Blue Heart, "Everyone may not be familiar with the Deep Sea Blue Heart. This item is a treasure from the deep sea. It is to be a rare gem formed from the magic core of a high-level magical beast, an excellent item for stabilizing the soul and enhancing cultivation levels."

"According to our research, the Deep Sea Blue Heart originated from the magic core of an eighth-tier magical beast, the Deep Sea Demon Spirit. This beast was notoriously violent. It's said that a thousand years ago, three half-saint mighty figures went to kill it, but all of them perished."

The crowd erupted in shock!

They hadn't expected this blue stone to have such a history. What did it mean to be a half-saint powerhouse? They were at the pinnacle of the Dou Qi continent, capable of causing massive destruction with a wave of their hand. Such a powerful being had died at the hands of the Deep Sea Demon Spirit!
