I'm in Shrouding the Heavens Practicing Eternal Life

A bottomless pit of money.

Among cultivators, the Great Firmament Realm had earned this reputation because it sold rare goods that were hard to find outside, but the prices were particularly high. However, the effects were indeed good, so many people couldn't control themselves and kept掏源 (tao yuan - taking out their source, spending their resources).

Even ordinary cultivators couldn't resist buying some cheaper items when they saw them.

For example, the 'Earth Treasury Golden Body Liquid' refined by the Holy Son of the摇光 (Yao Guang) Holy Land was only effective for cultivators in the Dao Palace Realm and below. It could help strengthen the spleen, and although its power wasn't very strong, it was cheap!

Only six hundred and forty-eight catties of pure source were needed to buy one serving. If you used nine servings consecutively, it could help you temper an earth-attribute golden body.

Although the effect was only a written description, the reputation of the Holy Son of Yao Guang was there, so everyone believed it. Many cultivators were considering buying some, even if they didn't use it themselves, it would be great for their descendants.

But after passing this booth, they saw a booth selling 'Yi Wood Spirit Transforming Bile', also six hundred and forty-eight per serving. It could strengthen the liver and was of great benefit to cultivators in the Dao Palace Realm for laying their foundation. If you used nine servings consecutively, it could also brighten the eyes with the liver, cultivating a special spirit eye and strengthening eyesight.

Ah, this—could it be that the divine materials for the five great Dao Palaces are all for sale?

Sure enough!

"This Holy Son of Yao Guang really knows how to make money!"

"I was wondering, why doesn't he leave so many good things for the Yao Guang disciples?" someone asked.

"Because we have our own source."

Several Yao Guang disciples wearing clothing with the Yao Guang mark, not hiding their faces, walked over. One person bought some pills and elixirs, and then they went together.

In the Great Firmament Realm, even Yao Guang disciples had to spend their own source to shop.

Fortunately, their average income was considered high among the major holy lands, because there were various tasks to earn source. As long as they weren't newly entered disciples, they all had some savings and could buy some things.

They couldn't afford expensive things, but they could buy a little of the cheaper ones, such as these five elements pills and elixirs. They could also be used nine times, which was perfect for them who needed to save money, anyway, they couldn't afford the full amount.

The five elements divine pills and elixirs suitable for the Dao Palace Realm were a large market. Luo Mo refined many of them, and the market probably needed a long time to digest them.

After passing this area, the front was the pills suitable for cultivators in the Four Extremes Realm. The pills in these two areas were openly supplied, without limiting the quantity.

And in front, there was a large empty booth area. This was the free stall area, and according to the information everyone received when entering the Great Firmament Realm, the Great Firmament Realm could assist in item identification. If the identification was wrong, there would be compensation.

Of course, identification was a paid service.

Luo Mo had scanned quasi-emperor weapon spirits, scanned the Holy Prince and the Divine Silkworm Princess, and even scanned the Divine Silkworm Ancient Emperor. He had also plundered the Feathered Divine Dynasty, and had long read various ancient books of Yao Guang. He could be considered knowledgeable. There were definitely things in this world he couldn't see through, but there wouldn't be too many.

If he encountered something that couldn't be identified... then he would refund the money. If the identification failed, all identification fees would be returned.

Many cultivators were already setting up stalls. The cultivators setting up stalls basically hid their appearance, because cultivators, first, many things couldn't be seen in the light, and second, carrying treasures easily led to being killed for their goods, so they covered up as much as possible.

"Infinite Longevity Buddha, fellow Daoist, you dare to mark a broken stone for ten thousand catties of source?" A chubby black figure was squatting in front of a stall.

"Hehe, don't think about picking up a bargain. I spent source to identify that this is a ghost annihilation stone. The recommended price given by this Great Firmament Realm is eighty to ten thousand catties of source," the stall owner said smugly.

"Infinite f***ing Longevity Buddha, why does this Holy Son of Yao Guang always think of such ghostly ideas? How can this poor Daoist pick up leaks? It's better to come to this place less in the future."

The fatty said less, but was unwilling to move his feet.

Seeing that he was tempted, the stall owner said, "Like this, I won't ask you for more. Eighty thousand, this is the bottom line of the identification price given by the person. I still have to give people a commission, what do you think?"

The stall owner wasn't kindly lowering the price, but the Great Firmament Realm's identification result, in addition to the reference price, also had a line: 'This item will only be used by people in the study of tombs, and few who can use it, it is not easy to find a buyer'.

It was better to sell it quickly, because just now many people couldn't see what it was at all, and had no interest. It was not easy to come across someone who knew the goods, so he couldn't let him run!

"..."

The fatty was a little tangled, but after all, the price was indeed okay. Finally, he decided, "Forget it, this Daoist爷 (ye - master) will buy it!"

The two completed the transaction silently, without alarming others.

In reality, inside a private room of the ancient hall, Duan De looked at the formation patterns flickering in front of him, and a black stone was quickly delivered to him by the formation patterns. He muttered, "It's really convenient. I should prepare more source. There are quite a lot of things that can be bought here... wait, Daoist 爷 (ye - master), I seem to have spent more than seventy thousand catties of source?"

Duan De felt a pang of pain. Spending money in this virtual world doesn't feel like anything. It's just a number, just deduct it. Without realizing it, he had spent so much.

So painful!

But he still took out a large pile of source, "Recharge another twenty thousand. This is the last twenty thousand. Daoist 爷 (ye - master), I will never spend money in this damn Great Firmament Realm again!"

The Great Firmament Realm popped up a prompt box to confirm again whether to recharge. After receiving an affirmative answer, the formation patterns flashed, turning Duan De's source into a streak of light and transporting it away.

Convenient and fast.

His divine sense returned to the Great Firmament Realm. Duan De's account had twenty thousand more balance, but it was just such a cold number, simply a black hole that swallowed pure source!

"Save a little, save a little. Don't buy those unnecessary things. Daoist 爷 (ye - master), I don't even know why I bought those Dao Palace Realm and Four Extremes Realm pills!"

As candy?

That would be too extravagant!

At the highest level of the Godly Imprint Purple Gold Pagoda, Luo Mo was looking at the data in the background.

Not bad, the transaction volume of the Great Firmament Realm has reached more than forty million before the auction has even started. The major holy lands, aristocratic families, great religions, and people like Duan De are the main force.

In the background, he also saw Ye Fan, disguised as Xiao Hei, acting as an ordinary stall owner, displaying various treasures he had found.

His stall also became the best data stall in Luo Mo's background, contributing three million in sales alone, second only to the official booth set up by Luo Mo.

Even close brothers have to settle accounts clearly. Luo Mo still had to take the commission that should be taken, and would not be polite with him.

In addition to the people he knew, Luo Mo was also looking at those unfamiliar high-spending users. As the behind-the-scenes manager, he naturally knew the identity of everyone.

At this time, he saw a familiar fatty.

"Duan De? He's here too."

Fatty Duan should also be a rich man, tomb raiding all year round, with a lot of wealth.

Luo Mo waited patiently, waiting for the moment when the auction started.

When the time came for the auction to start, everyone in the Great Firmament Realm received a reminder.

[The Great Firmament Realm Monthly Auction has started. Do you want to enter the auction hall?]

Choosing yes would instantly teleport you to another place. This was above the sky, with the four Immortal Palaces as the stands, and the auction stage in the center.

"It's finally started."

A young cultivator hesitated, "Has it started? I was still thinking about whether to buy a Binghuo Leize Blood Refining Pill... Ah, I'll decide later."

An elderly cultivator stared intently at the auction stage, "So many Longevity Pills, this old man must win one!"

Xia Yiming and Ji Haoyue and the others had only one thought: 'We must win that Dragon Transformation Immortal Gazing Pill!'

Everyone was eager to fight with spirit source, wanting to obtain their desired spoils.

Luo Mo did not appear; a tool person appeared on the auction stage instead.

"The Great Luo World Monthly Auction is held once a month. The starting price for all auction items is a minimum of 100,000 catties of pure spirit source, and each increment must be no less than 1,000 catties of pure spirit source."

The tool person spoke concisely and simultaneously took out the first auction item.

It was a pill with a nearly transparent shell and a golden, pearl-holding dragon inside.

The pill was magnified, displaying the details in this virtual world, and everyone smelled the intoxicating fragrance of the pill.

"First auction item, the Dragon Transformation Immortal Gazing Pill. Refined using Life Divine Spring, Eight-Fixed Divine Spring, and a mixture of various divine materials, consuming the essence of a dragon vein. It can strengthen the foundation and heritage of Dragon Transformation cultivators, increase their understanding of the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm, cleanse and strengthen their divine sense. Multiple pills can be taken. Starting price: 500,000 catties of pure spirit source."

"Five hundred thousand?"

"Is this pill made of immortal gold?"

"The price of the first auction item is so high; I shouldn't have come to this auction."

"Now that you're here, just take it as an eye-opener."

"I'm afraid not many people will buy it. This pill doesn't sound very powerful. Unlike those sold at the exhibition, it can refine the golden body and the spiritual eye. What's the use of just strengthening the foundation and heritage?"

"Probably."

Those who didn't know the details chatted idly, but at this moment, Xia Yiming took the lead and said, "Are you all so calm? Then let me be the first. 510,000."

"520,000," Ji Haoyue said calmly.

"Amitabha, 600,000," The Buddhist monk's opening bid immediately caused an uproar in the auction hall. The cultivators in the Four Immortal Palaces, the stands, and the private rooms were all shocked. Was this pill so good that even the eminent monks of Buddhism couldn't resist joining the competition?

Seeing that the Buddhist monk had also made a bid, Ye Fan stirred up the muddy waters, "This pill seems to be very good, so I'll bid for it and take a look. 610,000."

Ye Fan had disguised his identity and appeared as a small black figure, joining the bidding.

"620,000," Xia Yiming continued to raise the price.

Those who had taken the Dragon Transformation Immortal Gazing Pill knew its benefits, but who could understand it more deeply than the people of their Great Xia Dynasty?

Dragon Transformation, Dragon Transformation, the Dragon Transformation Immortal Gazing Pill contains a wisp of the Qi of Myriad Things Transforming into Dragons, which is a great supplement for those who cultivate the Taihuang Scripture, containing supreme mysteries. Just these few months of pondering have greatly improved his cultivation and his understanding of the Dragon Transformation Dao and the Taihuang Scripture, so Xia Yiming was determined to obtain this Dragon Transformation Immortal Gazing Pill.

"630,000."

Another person who had concealed their identity raised the price. Ye Fan guessed that it might be someone who had seen the magic of this pill.

"700,000!" Xia Yiming directly raised the bid sharply.

The Buddhist monk shook his head, apparently not planning to continue bidding. Although the Dragon Transformation Immortal Gazing Pill was good, they had the Eight-Fixed Divine Spring Water and could ask the Holy Son of Yaoguang to refine it.

If the price of the Dragon Transformation Immortal Gazing Pill was average, they would have bought it, but if the price was too high, they would just wait for next year's share of the Eight-Fixed Divine Spring Water.

Ji Haoyue hesitated because the effect of the Dragon Transformation Immortal Gazing Pill was indeed good, but not as deeply understood as those cultivators who cultivated the Taihuang Scripture and studied the dragon energy.

However, he still continued to bid, wanting to compete, "750,000."

"800,000!" Xia Yiming said in a deep voice, without joy or sorrow, making it impossible to tell where his bottom line was.

Ji Haoyue also shook his head, indicating that he was unwilling to compete any further. If it was too expensive, it would be better to exchange some Eight-Fixed Divine Spring Water from the Buddhist sect and then ask the Holy Son of Yaoguang to refine it.

Seeing that no one continued to bid, the tool person prepared to call the votes, "800,000 for the first time—"

"One million!"

Huh?!

Ye Fan was shocked. Where did this fierce person come from?

He looked towards the person who made the bid and found that it was an acquaintance.

A little girl with rosy lips and white teeth, who was dressed as a man when they first met, had now changed back into red clothes.

Xia Jiuyou was always arrogant, offering a high price of one million, after all, for her, spirit source was just something that was not very useful, and her master had a lot of it.

Only Xia Yiming's face was a little ugly. This Dragon Transformation Immortal Gazing Pill was much more useful to him than to ordinary people, but he didn't expect a dark horse to appear halfway.

If it was any more expensive... he would rather wait for a while, after all, even if he was a prince, the spirit source in his hand was not unlimited.

"One million and one thousand,"

Ye Fan said, sticking to the price increase. He felt that Xia Jiuyou should not have used this pill before, purely because she had a lot of money and thought it was fun. If he entangled with her for a while, she should give up.

"One million and five thousand!" Xia Jiuyou glared over, but only saw a small black man.

Ye Fan smiled, his dark body only reflecting light from his eyes and teeth, and reported a tangled price, "One million and five thousand one thousand."

"One million one hundred thousand!"

Xia Jiuyou quoted again, but the old servant who accompanied her was saying something to her.

It was estimated that he was advising Xia Jiuyou not to act so impulsively, and that her goal should not be this.

"One million five hundred thousand."

Ye Fan said calmly, but this price was not calm. He really wanted this Dragon Transformation Immortal Gazing Pill to build his foundation extremely firmly, like Luo Mo.

So he didn't take spirit source seriously at all, and directly added almost a starting price.

"Whoa!"

"Is this pill worth such a high price?"

"Could it really be some peerless divine pill?"

Xia Jiuyou was resentful, "If I didn't have other things to bid on, I would definitely not let you take advantage of it."

After the tool person asked three times and no one raised the price, the hammer was finalized, and the Dragon Transformation Immortal Gazing Pill fell into Ye Fan's pocket.

"It's okay, I'll let you have everything else," Ye Fan said happily, anyway, he wasn't interested in other things.

Divine materials?

He has the cauldron cast from the source of the Mother Qi of All Things.

Longevity Treasure Pill?

He is still young and doesn't need it.

Sage Secret Technique?

He hasn't fully understood the Nine Secrets yet, so he doesn't need them, and he doesn't need magic weapons either.

So, the only thing he wanted was the Dragon Transformation Immortal Gazing Pill, and now that he had it successfully, he didn't need to bid on anything else.

Therefore, he directly went offline, took the Dragon Transformation Immortal Gazing Pill, and went to cultivate, increasing his strength was more important than anything else, and he also wanted to find a way back to Earth as soon as possible.

Xia Yiming was a little regretful. He didn't expect that other people were also eyeing the Dragon Transformation Immortal Gazing Pill, and the price was simply outrageous, not treating spirit source as spirit source, and doubling the price.

He wasn't poor either, but he couldn't compete.

"Next is the second auction item." The tool person waved his hand, and another huge pill phantom appeared in the sky above the auction stage, allowing everyone to see the details clearly.

"Ginseng and Ganoderma Longevity Pill, refined with a variety of ten-thousand-year-old precious medicines as the main ingredients, can extend life by two hundred years. The starting price is 100,000 catties of pure spirit source. Please bid."

A group of old men immediately became excited and bid one after another. This was what they wanted.

"110,000!"

"115,000!"

"150,000!" Someone wanted to shout a high price to shock the audience, but it seemed that after what had just happened, this price did not affect others at all.

"150,000 one thousand."

… …

In the end, this Longevity Pill was sold for 173,000 catties of pure spirit source. No one raised the price any further because they knew that there would be other Longevity Treasure Pills later, and this one was the worst.

However, the person who bid was very happy. After showing off to his old friends, he immediately left, not even watching the subsequent auctions, eager to go back and take the pill to refine its medicinal power.

"The third auction item: Yin Spirit Transformation Pill."

A peculiar medicinal pill appeared, and the auctioneer, acting as a tool, introduced it: "This is a treasure pill refined from the essence blood of the Yin God's descendants in a great tomb. It can extend lifespan by two hundred years. The starting price is 150,000 catties of pure source. There are three pills in total, and we are now auctioning the first one."

"160,000!"

"200,000!"

"250,000!"

......

The price of the Yin God Transformation Pill rose rapidly. Before long, it broke through the 300,000 mark, leaving ordinary cultivators dumbfounded.

Some confused cultivators asked, "Both extend lifespan by two hundred years. Why is this Yin God Transformation Pill so much more expensive than the Ginseng and Ganoderma Longevity Pill?"

An old cultivator beside him explained, "This is a treasure pill refined from the essence blood of the Yin God's descendants. It is not refined with precious herbs as the main ingredient. Even cultivators who have developed resistance to other precious herbs can take it and still add two hundred years to their lifespan... I heard before that the Holy Land of Shaking Light had this kind of divine pill appear. I didn't expect it to be true. Alas, it's a pity that this old man doesn't have that much source to bid."

"Senior, what are Yin God descendants?"

"The so-called Yin Gods..."

The old cultivator explained the existence of Yin Gods, beings that defied the natural order. The ignorant young cultivators then learned about the existence of such legendary creatures. Their descendants also contained the Yin God's creation bloodline, making them very precious.

"But—" the old cultivator added, "I have never heard of Yin Gods appearing before. Many ancient people thought that Yin Gods were just legends. I didn't expect the Holy Son of Shaking Light to have encountered them, and probably stumbled upon a nest of ghosts."

Previously, news had spread from the Holy Land of Shaking Light, saying that there were a large number of Yin God Transformation Pills within Shaking Light, but they were all consumed internally and did not leak out.

Now it seems that the Holy Son of Shaking Light has probably killed many Yin God descendants, at least dozens of them.

The first two Yin God Transformation Pills were auctioned off for the high price of 420,000 catties of source, and the last one was auctioned off for 470,000 catties of source.

Xia Jiuyou bid for the first pill, presumably to prepare it for Gai Jiuyou.

However, Luo Mo calculated that Gai Jiuyou should still be in seclusion at this time, undergoing transformation and comprehending the mysteries of flourishing and withering.

If he failed to comprehend, then there would be no Gai Jiuyou.

If he succeeded in comprehending, then he would not need this Yin God Transformation Pill. In general, Xia Jiuyou's bid for this Yin God Transformation Pill was useless.

However, it was impossible for Luo Mo to run out and stop him. He just watched the auction continue from the Ninth Heaven.

"The fourth auction item: the Longevity Pill of the Medicine King. Refined with a 50,000-year-old small Medicine King as the main ingredient, it can extend lifespan by three hundred years. The starting price: 150,000 catties of pure source."

The effects of the longevity pills behind became stronger and stronger. Several of the pills in the middle were treasure pills that extended lifespan by three hundred years, and the transaction price was more than 250,000 catties of source.

The last treasure pill that extended lifespan by four hundred years was auctioned for more than 400,000, comparable to the Yin God Transformation Pill.

The old cultivators' retirement funds were all squeezed out.

Following that was the auction of magical treasures. A complete set of magical treasures that could form a formation appeared, which was simply an excellent choice for guarding the home. Even cultivators in the Sea of Wheels Realm could control them to kill ordinary cultivators in the Four Extremes Realm. If cultivators in the Four Extremes Realm possessed them, they could trap and kill cultivators in the Dragon Transformation Realm.

These sets of magical treasures were also auctioned off for a not-low price. Then, it was time for the special auction items.

"The twenty-sixth auction item: a Qilin Orchid Wooden Hairpin. A magical treasure wooden hairpin made from the body of the Qilin Orchid ancient tree, containing the auspicious energy of the Qilin, which can assist in cultivation and eliminate inner demons. At the same time, it naturally carries a trace of fragrance, which lingers for three days. The starting price: 200,000 catties of pure source."

"Qilin Orchid Wooden Hairpin?"

The female cultivators' eyes lit up when they heard this. This was better than Qilin Orchid flowers, as it could be used for a long time.

However, someone directly opened their mouth and suppressed all the unsaid quotations.

"500,000."

The person who quoted the price was named Jiang Taixu, one of the people here who did not hide their identity, the God King who roamed the world four thousand years ago.

As soon as he opened his mouth, especially with such a high price, everyone gave up.

"There are also Qilin Orchid wooden bead bracelets and wooden plaques. I'd better bid for those."

"That's right, it's better to bid for the ones behind. The price of 500,000 is too scary."

Moreover, the name of the God King Jiang Taixu was also quite scary. They couldn't afford to provoke him. His wealth must be too much to calculate. Competing with him was obviously not a good idea.

Jiang Taixu raised the price as soon as he came up, and bid for this wooden hairpin that Fairy Caiyun liked. The array patterns all over the island instantly sent the thing to his hand, and he could immediately put it on for Fairy Caiyun.

Other magical treasures made of Qilin Orchid wood also sold for not low prices, but none of them exceeded that wooden hairpin.

And finally, it was the auction of Divine Jade Silver Essence.

First, there were a few pieces of Divine Jade, all of which were not large. The small ones were like walnuts, and the large ones were only the size of a fist.

"The forty-second auction item, also the last auction item of this monthly auction: a piece of Grand Luo Silver Essence, starting price: 800,000 catties of pure source."

A square silver metal the size of a human head was placed on a tray, showing its brilliance to everyone. When it appeared, it immediately brought the atmosphere of the auction to its peak.

The Divine Jades just now were too small, but this piece of Grand Luo Silver Essence was too big!

Square and regular, the size of a human head, it was completely possible to refine a heavy weapon such as a silver tower, a silver bell, or a silver cauldron!

A heavy weapon made of Grand Luo Silver Essence was definitely a treasure!

Because this kind of material that could be used to refine holy weapons, even if a little was added during the refining process, it was enough to greatly improve the quality of the weapon. Moreover, this piece was so big that it was enough to completely use it to forge the entire weapon!

"1,000,000!"

"1,500,000!"

"1,600,000!"

"1,700,000!"

"1,800,000!"

The bidding directly entered the sky, flying up by hundreds of thousands, until it slowed down at the two million mark, and the final fight was carried out in tens of thousands.

This was Grand Luo Silver Essence. Compared to materials like Nine Heavens Divine Jade, which were easy to fail in refining, the success rate of refining Grand Luo Silver Essence was much higher, and this piece was large enough. Therefore, the final transaction price was 2.3 million catties of pure source, setting a record for this auction.

The one who bid for the Grand Luo Silver Essence was a disciple of a large family in Central Province. Compared with others in terms of financial resources, he finally won because he increased the price by a large amount each time without retreating, showing his determination to win.

In fact, Luo Mo, who was in the backstage, could see that he was constantly recharging. After bidding for the Grand Luo Silver Essence, he only had 50,000 left in his account. He even took the initiative to contact Luo Mo, the Holy Son of Shaking Light, wanting to ask if he could borrow some with the family's reputation as a guarantee, because he didn't bring that much source with him.

Fortunately, the bidding opponent retreated and did not continue to compete, allowing him to successfully bid for this piece of Grand Luo Silver Essence.

The first auction of the Grand Luo Realm ended successfully, but many people did not leave. They were visiting the exhibition stands and stalls. The Life Essence Pill, a pill refined with Divine Spring to restore blood and divine power, was loved by many people, and many bought one to defend themselves.

Some people even stayed here directly, waiting for next month's auction. After all, a month passed in the blink of an eye for cultivators.

What's more, Luo Mo also announced some of the auction items for next month's auction, including a Dragon Transformation Immortal Gazing Pill and five Longevity Treasure Pills.

Longevity!

This was a word that could make those old cultivators who had saved money for a lifetime take out their retirement funds. As long as there were longevity pills, they would flock to them and wave their source to buy them.
