The Demon King is back, leading adorable kids on an adventure around the world!
Chapter 21 The Soul-Nourishing Wood is in hand!
The receptionist opened the door, walked in, bowed respectfully, and said:
"Honorable guest, how can I help you?"
Luo Tian picked up his teacup, took a sip, and spoke calmly:
"Go get some paper and pen; I have something to auction off."
The receptionist was slightly taken aback, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes.
Having been at the auction house for so long, she had never seen a customer suddenly ask for paper and pen to write down the auction items.
However, out of professional ethics, she did not ask any further questions.
He responded and then turned and left.
Li Zhendong and the other two looked at Luo Tian with searching eyes.
Li Zhijun couldn't help but ask, "Master Luo, could it be that you intend to...?"
"That's right, I want to auction off a Heaven-level martial arts technique."
Luo Tian knew what they wanted to ask and gave them the answer directly.
Upon hearing this, all three of them paused slightly in their breathing.
Heaven-level martial arts techniques are something that countless martial artists dream of.
If left outside, it would be enough to cause a bloodbath.
The tone with which Luo Tian said this was as if he were saying:
He said it so casually: "I want to sell a few pounds of radishes."
A moment later, the receptionist returned.
He was holding a tray with a pen and a sheet of white A4 paper on it.
She handed the paper and pen to Luo Tian with both hands.
His posture was even more respectful than before.
Luo Tian took the paper and pen without pausing.
With a flourish of his brush, the strokes flowed like dragons and snakes.
His movements were fluid and effortless, with almost no pause for thought.
It was as if every word of the entire martial arts manual had already been etched into his mind.
In just a few minutes, the entire formula and mental techniques of "Shaking Mountain Fist" were spread across the whole page.
This Heaven-level martial skill was something he learned when he first arrived in the cultivation world.
Obtained from the armory of an ordinary dynasty.
Put there, it's not considered a particularly profound martial art.
It can only be considered an entry-level body-refining fist technique.
But for martial artists on Earth...
This is enough to revitalize a family.
A top-tier martial skill that has attracted countless people to fight over!
"This is a Heaven-level martial arts technique."
Take this to your supervisor; we'll settle the accounts together at the end.
Luo Tian casually handed the paper he had written to the female receptionist.
His tone was as flat as if he were throwing away a piece of waste paper.
The receptionist took the papers with both hands, her fingertips trembling uncontrollably.
She could hardly believe her eyes.
The young man in front of me just casually waved his hand.
A Heaven-level martial art has appeared?
That's a Heaven-level martial skill!
It's not a recipe; it's a top-tier martial art that countless martial artists would fight tooth and nail for!
She didn't dare hesitate for a moment, holding the paper in both hands.
As if holding a rare treasure, she quickly walked out of the private room.
Even his walking posture was somewhat stiff, as if he was afraid of making a mistake.
This thin piece of paper has been ruined.
The auction is still ongoing...
"Distinguished guests, the bidding for the fourth item will now begin."
The host's voice rang out in the room.
On the display stand behind her, a staff member carefully presented a brocade box.
Upon opening it, a piece of withered, yellow wood lay quietly inside.
It looks unremarkable, even somewhat shabby.
"This is a piece of dead wood, as determined by multiple sources."
It has the effect of refreshing the mind.
For martial artists, it can help them quickly enter a meditative state.
To achieve the goal of improving cultivation efficiency.
The starting price is five million, and each bid must be at least five hundred thousand higher. The auction is now beginning!
After he finished speaking, the audience was silent for a few seconds before erupting into a commotion.
"Are you kidding me?"
"They're auctioning off a piece of rotten wood?"
"And it's also refreshing and invigorating?"
"A cup of coffee can also refresh me."
"If all else fails, slap yourself a few times for free; that will still refresh your mind."
"Why spend five million to buy something to refresh and invigorate?"
Some people started shouting, feeling like they were being played.
"that is!
What's the difference between this thing and the firewood chopped in the woodshed?
This is utterly a case of charlatanry!
"Let's move on to the next one quickly, don't waste everyone's time!"
The shouts and yells rose and fell, and the scene became as chaotic as a vegetable market.
The host stood on the stage, a hint of embarrassment on his face.
She also felt that this thing was really not presentable.
I don't know how it was arranged from above.
Meanwhile, in VIP room number five...
Luo Tian stared intently at the piece of dead wood, then suddenly stood up.
His body even began to tremble slightly.
Others might not recognize him, but he knew him all too well!
This is no dead wood at all, it is clearly a piece of soul-nourishing wood!
Even in the immortal realm, Soul-Nourishing Wood is a rare and precious treasure.
It has a remarkable effect on repairing injuries to the soul.
His soul is severely damaged, and if he had this piece of soul-nourishing wood...
His strength can at least recover to the late Golden Core stage!
The host looked around and saw that no one was bidding.
I sighed inwardly, thinking that this piece of wood was going to go unsold.
She raised the small hammer in her hand, about to strike and announce that the item had failed to sell.
A voice suddenly resounded throughout the entire venue.
"Five and a half million!"
The voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached the ears of everyone present.
All eyes turned to VIP room number five.
The sound of whispers erupted instantly.
Who's in VIP room number five?
Interested in a piece of rotten wood?
"They're just rich and stupid, what else could it be?"
"Maybe I'll take it back and use it as a rolling pin, haha!"
Various jeers and jeers were heard incessantly.
It made the entire auction hall look incredibly lively.
However, Luo Tian in box number five ignored these voices.
His mind was completely captivated by that piece of soul-nourishing wood.
All the noise and commotion outside was irrelevant to him.
"Five and a half million each time."
The host began the countdown.
"Five and a half million twice."
No one in the audience raised the price, and the host's gaze swept around the room.
After confirming there were no new offers, they called out for the third time:
"Five and a half million three times, sold!"
Congratulations to the distinguished guest in Box 5, this piece of deadwood is now yours.
Soon, the staff delivered the items to VIP room number five.
Luo Tian took the Soul-Nourishing Wood and touched the rough bark of the withered tree with his fingertips.
A warm, smooth sensation traveled up to my fingertips.
It filled him with an indescribable joy.
A wisp of energy flowed swiftly from his fingertips into his sea of consciousness.
His tattered Immortal Emperor soul was nourished by this wisp of energy.
It slowly began to show signs of life, though only a faint trace.
For Luo Tian at this moment, it was as if he had swallowed a magic pill, making him feel completely comfortable.
Luo Tian was overjoyed and quickly put away the Soul-Nourishing Wood.
I plan to refine and absorb it all after returning to the villa.
Li Zhendong swiped his card to pay for him.
Seeing the rare look of satisfaction on Luo Tian's face, he was secretly pleased.
Unfortunately, Xiao Jin can't use this.
It requires the soul of a spirit beast or special rare and precious materials.
Although the Soul-Nourishing Wood is good, it is of no help to its injuries.
We can only wait for another opportunity to find some spirit beast souls to help it slowly recover.
……
Meanwhile, the atmosphere was completely different in a secret room where the auction items were stored.
A middle-aged man with a sinister look in his eyes.
He was holding Luo Tian's book "Shaking Mountain Fist" in both hands, his fingers trembling slightly.
His gaze swept across the lines of writing on the paper.
The more I looked, the more alarmed and excited I became.
With his keen eyesight, he could naturally distinguish the authenticity of this martial arts technique.
This is a genuine Heaven-level martial arts technique!
"Pay attention to that person's every move, and watch out for any unusual behavior."
Report to me immediately.
The middle-aged man looked up at the female receptionist who had brought in the martial arts manual.
He gave the order in a deep voice, his tone carrying an unquestionable command.
"Yes, President!"
The female receptionist bowed in response and quickly withdrew.
This middle-aged man is Zhao Jianhua, the head of Wanbao Auction House.
He put down his martial arts skills and leaned back in his chair.
His eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze flickering uncertainly.
A thought began to grow wildly in his mind:
What does it mean that the person can casually write a Heaven-level martial arts technique?
This means that he must be hiding an even bigger secret.
Or even more Heaven-level martial arts techniques!
There might even be something on an even higher level...
Zhao Jianhua tapped his fingers lightly on the table.
Something called greed was growing stronger in his heart.
Like a wild beast awakening, slowly opening its eyes.
The atmosphere at the auction remained lively.
The host, holding the eighth item for auction, raised his voice even higher:
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a Tang Dynasty tri-color pottery piece."
After joint authentication by multiple experts, it was confirmed to be an authentic product.
With vibrant colors and excellent condition, it is highly collectible.
The starting price is 20 million, and each subsequent bid must be at least 1 million.
Now, let the auction begin!
"Twenty-six million!"
No sooner had the words been spoken than someone eagerly raised a sign.
"Thirty million!"
"Thirty-three million!"
Bidding echoed throughout the room, pushing the atmosphere to another climax...
Luo Tian, who was resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them.
A cold glint shot out, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
"Interesting! They've actually become greedy and set their sights on me, the Emperor?"
"Perfect! By enslaving you, I'll have a source of cultivation resources!"
It turned out that Zhao Jianhua's spying on Luo Tian had been completely captured.
Luo Tian knew everything he said to the receptionist and the greed deep in his heart.
A mortal sets his sights on the Celestial Emperor.
I wonder if he'll be scared to death when he finds out?
Luo Tian's smile grew brighter and brighter, leaving Li Zhendong and the others completely baffled...
