Chapter 221: Scavenging, Cai'er's Joy!

After entering the space black hole, Gu Fei could clearly sense that someone was probing him.

However, he did not mind; this power held no malice, it was merely a simple probe.

After all, when hosting an auction, the staff must pay attention to the safety and order of the venue.

A moment later, the world before the three of them had transformed into the appearance of a small town.

"This is Space Town, the venue for the Space Auction... Although this place is not as vast and boundless as our Ancient Realm, it is quite sufficient to serve as a trading location!"

Gu Fei held the hands of the two women and looked at the bustling streets, saying with a smile.

"Mm!"

Cai'er and Xiao Yixian nodded.

To be able to specifically open up a space to serve as a trading location, this scale was already quite significant; although this space was not large, it was not something that an ordinary person could open up.

"Feel free to look around; the items here should be quite good..."

Gu Fei led the two women to stroll about.

On both sides of these streets, there were blue stone platforms set up.

On the stone platforms, there were some floating scrolls, jade bottles, weapons, Magic Cores, and similar items.

"Heavenly Demon Leg, Earth-tier Advanced Fighting Technique!"

"Supreme Yin Art, Earth-tier Advanced Cultivation Method!"

"Transformation Pill, Seventh-tier Advanced Medicinal Pill!"

"Ten-thousand-year Blood Spirit Ginseng..."

Walking along the way, the pretty faces of both Cai'er and Xiao Yixian were filled with smiles.

They were happy, not because the items here were extremely precious, but simply because of the relaxation.

That kind of life of fighting and killing was not what they wanted; this kind of shopping was the life women hoped to live...

The street was not long, only a few hundred meters, and when they realized they had reached the end, they withdrew their gazes with a sense of lingering interest.

Suddenly, Cai'er's footsteps paused, and Gu Fei's footsteps stopped as well.

Following the direction of Cai'er's gaze, it turned out to be a stone with a seven-colored hue. This stone was about the size of half a fist, and on its surface were seven extremely clear patterns; faintly, a special kind of energy was diffusing from within it.

"Nine-colored Original Stone? It seems the old fellow selling things at this stall was not affected by me. I hope that the Demon Fire Fragment Map will also appear at the Space Auction later!"

Gu Fei's face lit up with joy.

"That's great, this is a Seven-colored Origin Stone; Sister Cai'er happens to need it..."

Xiao Yixian reached out and poked Gu Fei's waist, signaling him to hurry up and buy it.

The so-called Seven-colored Origin Stone she spoke of was a mutated, special spirit stone, which had a significant connection to the Seven-colored Heaven-Swallowing Python.

It is said that only in the place where a Seven-colored Heaven-Swallowing Python has fallen is there a chance for this kind of Seven-colored Origin Stone to appear.

And the Seven-colored Origin Stone that has absorbed the blood of a Heaven-Swallowing Python will produce a unique kind of energy, and this energy is a truly great tonic for a Seven-colored Heaven-Swallowing Python.

Behind the stone platform, an old man with a withered face sat cross-legged, looking listless and weak.

"Old sir, how do you trade for the Seven-colored Origin Stone?"

Gu Fei walked up and asked with a faint smile.

"Two Eight-Rank Medicinal Pills with at least three-colored Pill Lightning."

Hearing Gu Fei's words, the withered old man raised his eyes slightly and said slowly, "Deal!"

Although the Seven-colored Origin Stone could not be sold for such a high price, Gu Fei would not haggle over a mere two Eight-Rank Medicinal Pills.

Moreover, this was something Cai'er liked very much, and he believed Cai'er had also seen the clues.

As his voice fell, Gu Fei directly tossed a jade bottle over, simultaneously grabbed the Seven-colored Origin Stone, and turned to walk away from the stall.

The withered old man was stunned and grabbed the jade bottle in front of him to inspect the pills inside.

"Damn it, could it be that this old man misjudged the goods this time? But that was clearly a Seven-colored Origin Stone, how could that kid..."

The withered old man muttered in some confusion, but his confusion clearly had no one to answer it for him.

"Here!"

After walking a few steps, Gu Fei handed the Seven-colored Origin Stone in his hand to Cai'er.

"Sister Cai'er, Husband is really good to you. This Seven-colored Origin Stone clearly isn't worth two Eight-Rank Medicinal Pills, but Husband just bought it for you without even blinking!"

Xiao Yixian said with a smile; she did not show any jealousy, she was simply happy.

"Mm..."

Cai'er took the Seven-colored Origin Stone, and a happy smile appeared on her cold, beautiful face.

"However, Husband did not buy it at a loss!"

"Ordinary people only know that there is a chance for a Seven-colored Origin Stone to be born where the physical body of a Seven-colored Heaven-Swallowing Python has fallen, but they do not know that if the bodies of more than a hundred Seven-colored Heaven-Swallowing Pythons fall in one place simultaneously, there is a chance for an Eight-colored, or even Nine-colored, Origin Stone to be born. It's just that it is almost impossible for over a hundred Seven-colored Heaven-Swallowing Python bodies to fall in the same place; therefore, ordinary people almost only know of the Seven-colored Origin Stone, but do not know that above seven colors, there are eight and nine colors..."

"And the Seven-colored Heaven-Swallowing Python, at its true peak, is not called by this name, but is called the Nine-colored Heaven-Swallowing Python. However, in the Heaven-Swallowing Python tribe, it seems that only the ancestor of the Heaven-Swallowing Pythons, whose bloodline was the most concentrated, had reached this realm. This is a memory flowing within the bloodline inheritance of the Heaven-Swallowing Pythons; ordinary people, even you, know nothing of it."

Hearing these words from Cai'er, Gu Fei was not surprised at all, but Xiao Yixian appeared somewhat stunned, clearly having never heard of it.

"No wonder... this kind of thing, only you, Sister Cai'er, could recognize it..."

Xiao Yixian asked curiously: "Then is this stone we bought an Eight-colored one or that highest-grade Nine-colored one?"

Hearing this, Cai'er drew her fingernail across her jade finger, and a drop of fresh blood dripped onto the stone.

They saw that after the seventh colored pattern on the smooth surface of the stone, a colored pattern actually slowly squirmed out...

"It's only an Eight-colored Origin Stone... what a pity!"

Seeing this, Xiao Yixian felt a slight regret; if this were a Nine-colored Origin Stone, Cai'er would have truly made a huge profit this time.

"Don't be anxious, wait a little longer, perhaps it still has changes..." Gu Fei smiled and shook his head.

Hearing this, the gazes of Cai'er and Xiao Yixian also held a bit more anticipation, and they stared tightly at the stone; Cai'er even gently rubbed the surface of the stone with her finger.

The next moment, after that eighth colored pattern, an extremely faint, tiny pattern actually appeared silently.

"Nine-Colored... Nine-Colored Original Stone!"

Seeing the tiny patterns that had just emerged, Cai'er could not stop the excitement on her face.

"Husband, it is fortunate that you did not refuse to buy it just because the price was high earlier!"

Cai'er excitedly left a red lip print on Gu Fei's face.

"You little enchantress!"

Feeling the lingering softness and comfort on his cheek, Gu Fei placed his hand on Cai'er's slender waist.

"Alright, there is nothing left to browse in this spatial town; next, we are going to a higher-level trade fair..."
