Within the Spatial Town, inside an ancient hall.
"Now, let us begin the auction for the first item of this Spatial Trade Fair."
Within the distorted space walls, Elder Bao Shan waved his hand across the void before him, revealing a pair of bone wings as white as jade. From within the ancient wings emanated faint sounds of wind and thunder.
"Phoenix Wings?"
Mo Yu raised his eyebrows at the familiar sight of the bone wings.
To think the first item of this Spatial Trade Fair would turn out to be such a rarity.
Daring to auction off Phoenix Wings publicly, the forces behind this trading convention were indeed extraordinary.
"Phoenix Wings, plucked from the wings of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan. If refined into a flying Dou Technique, they would grant a speed unmatched by anyone of the same rank. Truly a treasure for both assassination and escape." Elder Bao Shan smiled faintly, his words showing no fear of offending the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan.
"The owner of these Phoenix Wings seeks to exchange them for an eighth-grade pill that has endured four-colored Pill Lightning. If anyone is interested, feel free to bid."
As Elder Bao Shan's voice fell, the hall grew silent once more. The silence lingered for about five minutes before a hoarse voice finally broke it: "I'll take it."
Mo Yu's gaze followed the voice to see a figure entirely cloaked in a robe casually toss a jade bottle toward Elder Bao Shan.
Catching the bottle, Elder Bao Shan opened the lid, glanced inside, and smiled. After confirming no further bids, he flicked his finger, sending the Phoenix Wings toward the first bidder, who caught them and stored them in a spatial ring.
The transaction was straightforward—both sides delivered their goods simultaneously. Yet, the items exchanged were undeniably precious.
"Now then, onto the second auction item of the day."
With a smile, Elder Bao Shan waved his sleeve, and another item materialized—a scroll with a brilliant golden-purple hue.
"The Great Sun Desolate Thunder Body, a low-tier Tian Class Dou Technique. This technique was created a thousand years ago by Huang Lei Sheng Zhe.
When cultivated to its peak, the physical body becomes as resilient as the primordial sun and moon, indestructible and eternal. A single punch can shatter the heavens, and a kick can rend the earth. It is a powerful technique that combines both offense and defense."
Listening to Elder Bao Shan's introduction, a glimmer of surprise flashed in Mo Yu's eyes. This Great Sun Desolate Thunder Body seemed akin to techniques that refine the body, but its Tian Class ranking meant its power was undoubtedly formidable.
The technique was particularly suited to Mo Yu, who wielded the Primordial Ancestral Thunder. If mastered, its destructive potential might rival even mid-tier Tian Class techniques.
Such a technique would likely be reserved for the most ancient monsters of the Lei Clan.
"The owner of this technique seeks to exchange it for a low-tier Tian Class wood-attribute cultivation method. Alternatively, a pill or weapon of equal value would also be acceptable." Elder Bao Shan smiled warmly.
Many in the hall were clearly intrigued by the technique, and shortly after Elder Bao Shan finished speaking, someone tossed a jade-green scroll onto the platform.
Elder Bao Shan caught the scroll, unfolded it briefly, and then looked around the hall.
Before he could speak, two more participants tossed additional scrolls to him, making it three in total within mere moments.
Mo Yu raised an eyebrow at this development. With a slight movement of his mind, he retrieved a green scroll from his beast ring and sent it forward.
Since the rise of Yuan Manor, Mo Yu had established a Merit List to motivate elders and disciples.
Whether elder or disciple, completing tasks assigned by Yuan Manor would earn merit points, which could then be exchanged for pills, weapons, techniques, or other resources listed on the Merit List.
To attract and recruit more experts, Mo Yu had even included Tian Class techniques of water, fire, wood, and other attributes on the list.
This strategy proved effective, drawing many powerful individuals to Yuan Manor, who eagerly joined after rigorous selection processes, significantly bolstering its strength.
The wood-attribute technique Mo Yu had just sent out was a copy of one he had previously placed on the Merit List. It was an inheritance from his past life, roughly equivalent to a mid-tier Tian Class Dou Technique on the Dou Qi Continent.
On the platform, no further bids followed Mo Yu's submission. Elder Bao Shan now held four wood-attribute Tian Class scrolls in his hands.
After examining the scrolls closely, Elder Bao Shan closed his eyes briefly, seemingly consulting the original owner of the technique. About a minute later, he reopened his eyes and flicked three of the scrolls back to their owners. Smiling, he said, "After consideration, the transaction has been concluded."
With that, the golden-purple scroll flew toward Mo Yu.
Unsurprised by the result, Mo Yu calmly caught the scroll and stored it in his beast ring.
"Hmph."
The three participants whose bids were rejected snorted coldly in dissatisfaction. Though their displeasure was not directed at Mo Yu, they clearly bore some resentment toward Elder Bao Shan. After all, anyone capable of offering a Tian Class technique was no ordinary individual.
Elder Bao Shan, however, remained indifferent to their reactions, smoothly proceeding with the auction.
As the auction continued, the items on display grew increasingly dazzling. From Dou Techniques to cultivation methods, from pills to heavenly treasures, from weapons to alchemy cauldrons—every item was a rare and valuable treasure that would cause a stir in the outside world. Here, however, they were seemingly less remarkable.
Despite the rarity of these items, Mo Yu refrained from bidding further. The conditions for exchange were either excessively demanding, or he simply lacked the desire for those items.
Still, he did make two notable purchases. For Xiao Yixian, he acquired a poison scripture titled Heavenly Nether Poison Codex using two eighth-grade weapons infused with five-colored Weapon Lightning. Additionally, he spent a hefty price to purchase a Tian Class eye technique called Spirit Soul Divine Eyes for Qing Lin.
After these two transactions, Mo Yu made no further bids, content to observe the proceedings.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yan's side acquired numerous treasures, aided by Yao Zun Zhe, one of the continent's top-tier alchemists. The financial strength of the Falling Star Pavilion even surpassed that of Yuan Manor, a fact that left Mo Yu somewhat impressed.
Finally, as the auction neared its conclusion, the appearance of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame's fragmented map stirred an uproar throughout the hall.
The Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame ranked third on the Heavenly Flame Ranking. This legendary flame, capable of annihilating the heavens and earth, was something even Ban Shengs might never witness in their lifetime.
It represented the ultimate power of destruction—a force beyond the grasp of most mortals. Whoever obtained and mastered it would stand unmatched across the Dou Qi Continent. It was the embodiment of absolute destructive might!
The competition for this fragment map was incredibly fierce. Even Xiao Yan and Yao Lao suffered setbacks, unable to secure it. The price set by the eventual winner was a shocking one: an eighth-grade pill imbued with Nine-Colored Dan Thunder!
Of course, Mo Yu understood that Xiao Yan and Yao Lao could afford a higher price, but they chose not to. As the foremost alchemist on the continent, Yao Lao wouldn't be unable to meet such a price; he simply deemed it unworthy of the cost.
At this moment, Mo Yu glanced pityingly at the thin, black-robed figure who had successfully bid for the fragment map. Since it concerned the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, Xiao Yan and Yao Lao were bound to act.
This man was as good as dead.
Mo Yu sighed as he shook his head. His thoughts shifted to his own Black Lotus Soul Thunder, which ranked third on the Thunder Soul List. It was time to find an opportunity to restore it to its peak state.
"Haha, the final item for this Spatial Trade Fair is not an object but a piece of information," Elder Bao Shan chuckled after concluding the trade for the fragment map. His gaze swept across the hall as he said, "Don't worry, this information comes free of charge. However, it's been saved for last because of its shocking nature."
"My friends, the legendary Bodhisattva Ancient Tree, said to grant instant sainthood, has reappeared after ten thousand years."
"The Bodhisattva Ancient Tree?"
Elder Bao Shan's words were like a bombshell, detonating in the hall and sparking an uproar. Some experts couldn't contain their shock and leaped to their feet.
If the natural treasures of the Dou Qi Continent were ranked, the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree would undoubtedly make the top three!
Without delving into its origins, just a single phrase suffices to encapsulate its value:
The Bodhisattva Ancient Tree grants instant breakthrough to Sheng!
This is no exaggeration. Within the tree resides the Bodhi Heart, which can transform one's soul and grant to Sheng-level with ease.
In the past, a modest two-star Dou Zun consumed the Bodhi Heart and ascended to the rank of Dou Sheng in less than five years—an unprecedented pace!
Even without the Bodhi Heart, the slightly inferior Bodhi Seeds can significantly enhance the chance of advancing to Dou Sheng. Though not as miraculous, they are irresistibly alluring to Dou Zun experts at the peak.
After all, breaking through to Ban Sheng is incredibly difficult and perilous. Some peak Dou Zun experts fail to achieve it even after a lifetime. At such a critical juncture, a single Bodhi Seed could drive them to madness.
Given its allure, the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree's value to top-tier experts is immeasurable. It's easy to imagine the chaos this news will bring to the Central Plains.
"So it really is the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree..." Mo Yu's lips curved into a faint smile as memories of the fierce competition for the tree resurfaced in his mind.
Now a Five Turn Dou Zun, Mo Yu knew he needed four more turns to attempt breaking into the Ban Sheng realm. While these turns weren't overly challenging for him, the Ban Sheng bottleneck loomed large, even for someone like him.
After all, beneath the Sheng level, all are but ants. Only by stepping into sainthood could one transcend the masses, undergoing a qualitative transformation that sets them apart like heaven and earth.
For someone like Mo Yu, on the cusp of becoming a Ban Sheng, the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree presented an unparalleled opportunity.
The information Mo Yu had gathered earlier confirmed that the Ling Clan had been annihilated, signaling an acceleration in the Soul Clan's actions. If he didn't seize the chance to enhance his strength now, he might have no choice but to rely on Xiao Yan in the future.
But Mo Yu disliked entrusting his fate to another, even if that person was Xiao Yan, the destined Flame Emperor of this realm.
"Whoo..."
In the center of the hall, Elder Bao Shan chuckled as he saw the crowd still reeling from his announcement.
The Bodhisattva Ancient Tree tempted even him, but the danger surrounding its location deterred him from seeking it himself.
"Elder Bao Shan, may I ask where the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree has appeared?" someone in the hall finally inquired, breaking the stunned silence.
"Haha, of course. Since I've shared this information, I won't keep the location a secret," Elder Bao Shan replied with a smile. "The Bodhisattva Ancient Tree has emerged in a place many of you are familiar with: the Ancient Wasteland Region located on the north-eastern border of the Central Plains."
"The Ancient Wasteland Region?"
Gasps and exclamations rippled through the hall. The experts who had shot to their feet earlier now sat back down, hesitation evident in their eyes.
"The Ancient Wasteland Region..." Mo Yu murmured, his brows furrowing. He had heard of this place. It was one of the oldest regions on the Dou Qi Continent and a forbidden zone for humanity.
The domain was plagued by harsh weather, poisonous mists, and ferocious beasts—ancient creatures that had survived since antiquity, possessing unparalleled might.
"Haha, the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree's emergence will bring celestial phenomena. Within a month, you'll all sense it yourselves and know I'm not lying," Elder Bao Shan said with a smile. "With that, the Spatial Trade Fair concludes. Thank you all for your participation!"
As his voice faded, the hall grew quiet for a moment before people began rising and leaving in succession.
"Let's go too," Mo Yu said with a faint smile, his gaze lingering momentarily on Xiao Yan and Yao Lao, who had quietly followed the crowd out. Then, he turned to Cai Lin and the others by his side.
