Chapter 65: Other Shore Flower

"The Other Shore Flower; this treasure does not require Spirit Stones, but is to be exchanged for rare materials."

Bai Ruxue's sweet voice rang out.

"Fellow Daoist Bai, your introduction is far too simple!"

"Exactly, what is this Other Shore Flower for? You should at least say something about it."

"And exchanging it for rare materials is far too much of a child's game. You don't even say what you want to exchange it for; how are we supposed to bring things out?"

"That's right, who knows if this Other Shore Flower is just trash? The person who entrusted you with this auction might be a fraud."

Just at this moment, a gloomy voice spoke up.

"My apologies, fellow Daoists, the introduction for this Other Shore Flower is only this much. As for what it is used for, I do not know either."

As an auctioneer, Bai Ruxue had naturally seen all kinds of scenes; facing the agitation of the crowd, she said with a calm expression.

However, it would have been better if she hadn't explained; as soon as these words fell, a burst of noisy sounds arose, and some old monsters even began to curse loudly.

"Fellow Daoists, I advise you to mind your words. As the saying goes, disaster comes from the mouth. Although this young woman does not know what the Other Shore Flower is, the seller is definitely not a fraud. With the senior's permission, I can reveal their identity; this senior is the Venerable Dragon Slayer. I believe you all must have heard of this senior's great reputation."

It was actually that old gentleman?! A Spirit Severing Venerable? The Skull Old Demon, who had been incomparably arrogant just a moment ago, along with some other Golden Core old monsters who knew the background, all became as obedient as well-behaved babies, not daring to say a single word of nonsense.

"Fellow Daoist Bai, who exactly is the Venerable Dragon Slayer? It seems like a very big name."

"Exactly, making it so mysterious; could he be a Nascent Soul senior?"

"Nascent Soul? Heh, that old gentleman is a Spirit Severing Venerable!"

Following her words, the entire auction house, with hundreds of Golden Core level cultivators, was completely stunned.

Within the entire great hall, one could hear a pin drop! After a long while, one could hear a chorus of gasps, and then, buzzing discussions grew from small to large, appearing chaotic and noisy.

"A Spirit Severing Venerable, that can't be, right?"

"After reaching Spirit Severing, shouldn't one ascend to the Upper Realm? How has that old gentleman not ascended yet?"

"A treasure from a Spirit Severing senior is naturally extraordinary."

For a time, all kinds of discussions continued to reach the ears.

Looking at the treasure before them, the old monsters were moved, and although a small portion had misgivings and dared not compete, the vast majority of the old monsters did not think that much at all.

However, Bai Ruxue had already said that the Venerable wanted to trade item for item, and the other party had not specified what they wanted to exchange for, so those participating in the competition could only bring out their most precious things.

The black-robed old man who made the first bid looked plump, and a shrewd expression was revealed in his small eyes.

"Since that is the case, this old man will start by casting a brick to attract jade. These are two top-grade Spirit Awakening Pills; I wonder if the senior finds them worthy of his eyes."

Two Spirit Awakening Pills were already rare treasures, but that also depended on the occasion.

With the other party's Spirit Severing cultivation, if they really needed them, getting them would be a matter of a mere flick of the hand.

Casting a brick to attract jade—it seems this person really has self-awareness. Since someone took the lead, others naturally brought out their own treasured items one after another.

"I have ten stalks of Dragon Transformation Grass here!"

"Junior Hong Qi, I have the sect's treasure, the Dog-Beating Stick. Once this stick is activated, within a radius of ten miles, not a blade of grass will grow!"

"Hong Qi, are you an idiot? That is a Spirit Severing senior, whose cultivation is unfathomable. What does a Golden Core existence count for to him? This Dog-Beating Stick is simply trash to him."

Just at this moment, a mocking voice entered the ears. Hong Qi was furious, but no one paid him any more attention, and for a time, bids continued to be called out.

Moreover, the people calling out bids, regardless of status or cultivation, were getting higher and higher, and the items offered were also astonishing. Many were legendary heaven-defying objects, even surpassing the treasures auctioned earlier in the auction.

"Half a catty of Nine Heavens Profound Iron. Its hardness ranks in the top three in the cultivation world. Used to forge defensive Dharma Treasures, there is almost nothing that can break through it. Likewise, if forged into offensive Flying Swords or precious blades, it can easily sever an opponent's Dharma Treasure."

As soon as these words were spoken, all bidding sounds stopped. Even Su Zhangqing gasped. Nine Heavens Profound Iron was extremely rare even in ancient times; he did not expect that there would still be a cultivator today who possessed such material.

The value of this item far surpassed the other objects. Just at this moment, after a moment of silence, the voice of the Skull Old Demon rang out.

"Fire Dragon Pill, can cure a hundred poisons, and refining it can increase spiritual power."

The Fire Dragon Pill is a supreme treasure of the demon race. It is said that when a member of the Flood Dragon clan is near the end of their lifespan, it is different from other clans. They do not sit and pass away quietly, but go mad. At this time, their essence soul fuses with their bloodline to form a Fire Dragon Pill.

And the Fire Dragon Pill is refined using this as a raw material, and it must be a late-stage Golden Core Flood Dragon. If this item is consumed by a Flood Dragon, it can greatly increase demon power, and legend has it that it has another function: it can cure a hundred poisons.

As for poisons in the cultivation world, I dare not say, but as long as one hasn't died from strange poisons in the human world, it can cure them all.

Su Zhangqing believed that with the Venerable Dragon Slayer's ability, he probably wouldn't want this thing. After all, with the other party's skills, what kind of poison could poison him? If there were a poison that could poison him, it wouldn't be something a mere Fire Dragon Pill could cure.

After a moment of hesitation, Bai Ruxue took a colorful jade talisman from her bosom, which contained the content of the Venerable Dragon Slayer's ten-thousand-mile sound transmission. After about the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, she raised her head.

"Among the items listed by the Venerable Dragon Slayer, the Nine Heavens Profound Iron is included. If no other seniors have better treasures, this Other Shore Flower will belong to..."

"Wait."

Just at this moment, Su Zhangqing's voice rang out.

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was shocked. There really was someone who didn't fear death, daring to compete at this time.

"Fellow Daoist, do you wish to participate in the competition?"

Bai Ruxue's face was full of surprise. To snatch something from the hands of a Golden Core old monster—this kid really has lived long enough.

"That is correct, I do indeed wish to bid."

Regarding everyone's surprise, Su Zhangqing's expression was indifferent.

He was determined to obtain the Other Shore Flower; at this point, no matter what, he had to compete for it.

Even if it meant gaining an extra enemy, he would not regret it!

The Skull Old Demon was furious; this kid was truly courting death.

He had tolerated him once just now, but he didn't expect him to climb up his nose and onto his face.

"Kid, on what basis do you dare to compete with this old man? What treasure can you bring out? Could it be more precious than my Nine Heavens Profound Iron?"

The Skull Old Demon's face was full of mockery.

One must know that even among heaven-defying treasures, the Nine Heavens Profound Iron could be ranked among the top.

Su Zhangqing's expression did not change in the slightest. He flipped his wrist, a white light flashed, and a tattered piece of animal skin appeared in his palm, looking very old.

"A piece of animal skin?"

The old monsters were stunned, and then many of them revealed expressions of disdain on their faces.

"Am I seeing this right? Just with a piece of tattered animal skin?"

"Could this kid's brain be broken? Nine Heavens Profuse Iron is worth a city; how can a mere piece of tattered animal skin compare?"

"Could this guy's brain be broken?"

All sorts of discussions reached his ears, but Su Changqing turned a blind eye and a deaf ear; these fellows mocking and ridiculing him were merely doing so to curry favor with Kulu Laomo.

The cultivation world is just like this; these people's faces are much thicker than city walls, and if they can gain the favor of a Golden Core stage old monster, the benefits are simply countless.

Su Changqing naturally would not take these words to heart.

"On this piece of animal skin is recorded a Minor Divine Ability, named the Thunder Emperor Supreme Precious Art; as for whether it is worth it, that is entirely up to the senior's discretion."

This divine ability was something Su Changqing had specifically inscribed just in case; of course, it only had two or three tenths of the power of the original version, as the original was a Great Divine Ability, and after being abridged, it had roughly the power of a Minor Divine Ability, but it was more than enough for a trade.

He did not believe that a dignified Transformation Deity Venerable would lack even this bit of discernment.

"What?"

After Su Changqing's voice fell, the crowd below exploded, and all the cultivators revealed expressions of shock.

They had not expected that the other party actually possessed a Minor Divine Ability and was even bringing it out to trade.

Even Kulu Laomo was stunned, his expression filled with greed.

This was a Minor Divine Ability, after all; who wouldn't want it?
