Map Fragment!
The nonchalant voice shut all voices down. Boom! Yao Xuan discharged a massive amount of energy as he flared up. The eyes of the elder behind him nearly rolled back into his head. Yao Xuan duped himself; therefore, he was mad. He ignored the venue’s rules and executed Celestial Fiend Hand, a divine skill from Celestial Fiend Hall. Hearing the ridicule infuriated him even more. He boosted the hand attack he launched.
Lan Chen scoffed. There was no reason for him to retaliate, since Yao Xuan couldn’t have broken through the formation protecting his room.
Somebody in the void: “Hmph, what an insolent kid!”
With a single poke, the mysterious individual bent space and impaled Celestial Fiend Hand. After penetrating, it continued along its trajectory toward Yao Xuan’s forehead. Yao Xuan started quaking in his boots when the Omnipotent Realm adept attacked him. The adept stopped the attack about seven and a half centimetres away from Yao Xuan’s forehead. “Hmph, out of consideration for the fact you’re from Celestial Fiend Hall, I shall spare you in exchange for ten thousand high-grade bloodstones.”
The audience made sure to share their opinions with each other.
Yao Xuan begrudgingly paid the fee because he knew he didn’t have any other choice. Moreover, he needed to stay to bid on the map fragment. The adept chuckled in a strange voice and departed after receiving the payment.
The black bear lying next to Yang Tian thought, Sheesh, they’re monsters. I should stick with Yang Tian. He’ll give me a life of luxury for sure.
Everything settled down quickly, and the auction resumed. Items offered continued to increase in value. Everyone was eager to bid on the rank eight pill. Celestial Feather Sacred Grounds won a martial skill.
At long last, the moment everyone had been waiting for finally arrived. The elder conducting the auction said, “We are offering two treasures this time. These are the best items we’ve found in the most recent millennium.”
The elder clapped his hands. Two adepts came up to the stage for safety measures. Even the Meson Dimension formation was activated. The elder then raised a red piece of silk. Everyone closely watched his hand movements. There was a radiant, thumb-sized emerald seed. Recalling the seed for his vitality seed resembled the emerald seed, Yang Tian asked Lan Chen, “Is that a divine seed?”
Lan Chen was surprised Yang Tian recognised it at first glance when it took them a long time to identify it. He replied, “Indeed, it is!”
“Why are you auctioning something so precious? You could benefit immensely from it.”
Lan Chen revealed a look of disappointment. “I, of course, know how valuable it is. I also know only a fool would sell it. The issue is our seniors couldn’t get it to grow after experimenting for half a year.”
“Are you saying that the land wasn’t apt?”
“I am. We tried lots of spiritual soil, but we failed even when we planted it on a spiritual ley line. If we kept failing to grow it, its spiritual characteristic would diminish. So, as sad as it may be, we decided to sell it.” Lan Chen sighed.
Yang Tian liked what he heard. He certainly couldn’t compete against the wealthy clans for it, nonetheless.
The elder conducting the auction smiled. “This divine seed was found at Long-Lost Divine Realm. In regards to what type of seed it is, we have yet to find out. We will only exchange items for it.”
Yang Tian gave Lan Chen a smile. “Given how precious it is, I’m curious to know what could be worth more than it.”
“The next one will be unpredictable: it’s a map fragment of the core area of Long-Lost Divine Realm!”
Didn’t he say it was impossible to draw a map of it? pondered Yang Tian. It suddenly hit him. He had three fragmented diagrams and was missing the last piece. He also remembered how enthusiastic Yang Xiao was about them.
