Long-Lost Divine Realm!
Elders began to bid for the golden fragment. The fragment was a fragment of Heaven and Earth, Black and Yellow Pagoda. Yang Tian picked up another fragment of it from the devils’ underground palace.
Xiaobai: “Buy it!”
Yang Tian nodded. He was going to buy it no matter what the price was.
Lan Chen couldn’t believe Yang Tian also had a dimensional item as he did, albeit the latter not possessing it exclusively. He conjectured Yang Tian had another part of the golden fragment.
The bear tried to act cute with Xiaobai, poking his tongue out when the latter passed by. Xiaobai raised an eyebrow and sat onto the bear’s back. “What an ugly bear.”
The bear touched his own face, questioning, “Am I ugly?”
The price for the golden fragment soon reached eight thousand high-grade bloodstones before slowing down.
“Nine thousand!”
Everyone turned to look toward the room the voice came from. They thought the voice belonged to Celestial Fiend Hall’s young master.
Chattering took over the hall.
“Yao Xuan!” A thirst for battle flitted across Lan Chen’s face. He clenched his fists and whispered to Yang Tian, “Brother Yang, Celestial Fiend Hall is quite wealthy.”
Yang Tian nodded. That was Lan Chen’s way of saying, “They might attack you for it even if you win the bid.”
Right when everyone was ready to call it quits, Yang Tian declared, “Ten thousand.”
Celestial Fiend Hall possessed Celestial Fiend’s Bloodline. Celestial Fiend was a big name. Nobody knew what his true body was. He was a strong fighter and a battle monger.
Yao Xuan: “Lan Chen, are you trying to fight me for it?”
Lan Chen smiled. “The rule is the highest bid wins. If you can’t afford it, give up.”
Yao Xuan: “Screw you!”
Yao Xuan unleashed his Fiend Qi as a warning. Lan Chen was going to respond in kind, but Xiaobai belted, inciting fear in many fiends. Yao Xuan’s energy receded almost instantly.
“Who’s that in Lan Chen’s room, a descendent of a Divine Beast?”
“I think so. This is going to be quality entertainment.”
Lan Chen pondered, Is he seriously a descendent of a divine beast clan? I can’t imagine any faction having what it takes to nurture him to that stage.
Yao Xuan: “Eleven thousand!”
Determined to not let anyone take Xiaobai’s treasure, Yang Tian declared, “Twelve thousand.”
Yao Xuan: “Piece of turd!”
The elder behind Yao Xuan stepped in. “Young Master, we came here for the divine realm’s map fragment. I think we should wait until this is over to put him in his place.”
The divine realm was where many adepts died. Presumably, lots of their treasures were left behind there. It was natural formed during the primordial era. The fog there was dense; therefore, it was challenging to navigate. There were void tornadoes in there that could massacre even Immortal Cave Realm adepts. There was also a slit that led to foreign domains. One misstep and one could end up in another domain. If one couldn’t find an inhabited ancient star, they would die once they ran out of energy. People futilely to draw up a map of the place, but the terrain’s Rule prevented it; not even the best materials could contain a mountain or lake.
Yao Xuan glared at the elder out the corner of his eyes. Voice deep, he cursed, “Shut your mouth. Are you telling me what to do?”
The elder knelt down in a hurry. “Your subject apologises, Young Master.”
“Hmph!” Yao Xuan clenched his fists.
The venue fell quiet. Seconds later, the elder running the auction declared, “I hereby declared this sold for twelve thousand high-grade bloodstones.”
Everyone found it surprising Yao Xuan gave up, especially after being embarrassed.
A maid respectfully delivered the fragment to Yang Tian.
Lan Chen passed Yang Tian two thousand bloodstones with a smile and remarked, “Just ten thousand will do, Brother Yang.”
Yang Tian smiled. “It’s okay. I can afford it.”
Lan Chen smiled awkwardly. “I apologise for being rude.”
Yang Tian and Lan Chen engaged in idle chatter; however, Yang Tian would occasionally steal glances at what was being offered. His anticipation and excitement returned as the quality of the items improved.
The elder pointed to a jade container and smiled. “This is a drop of Blood and Qi from a long-lost divine realm. It is the Blood and Qi from the nigh-extinct pentachrome divine phoenix!”
