Ning Liu awakens with the most useless Glazed Pagoda, only to be kicked out by the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect to a remote small town, where he inherits a Grade D auction house in Suo Tuo City!
<...The atmosphere became somewhat tense for a moment.
Ning Fengzhi and Bibi Dong exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of helplessness in each other's eyes.
The treasures of Poseidon Island are prized for their "uniqueness," a creation of nature that cannot be forced by human power.
The treasures on the mainland are mostly artificially crafted or ancient spiritual plants, which are probably less impressive in terms of sheer awe.
Moreover, they really didn't expect to bring something like this with them!
But things have come to this point, and backing down is not their style.
Ning Fengzhi straightened his robes, and in the silence, calmly rose and slowly walked towards the main stage.
As the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he had seen countless scenes, yet he still maintained his gentle and refined demeanor.
"High Priest, Sea Dragon Douluo, fellow Sea Soul Masters."
Ning Fengzhi's voice was clear and gentle, possessing a calming power.
"The land and the sea have different landscapes and features. Today, I am fortunate to show you some of them and share them with you."
As he spoke, he flipped his wrist, and an exquisite jade box appeared in his palm.
The jade box was opened, and inside lay a ginseng root, its entire body resembling a piece of mutton-fat jade, carved quietly. The ginseng's shape closely resembled that of a baby sitting cross-legged, emanating a faint glow and a refreshing medicinal fragrance.
"This item is called 'Jade Marrow Snow Dragon Ginseng'. It grows beneath the extreme northern ice plains, takes a thousand years to form, and another thousand years to acquire a trace of spirituality."
Ning Fengzhi explained, "If taken directly, even an ordinary person can extend their lifespan by half a century. If a Soul Master takes it, it can strengthen their foundation, cleanse their meridians, and greatly benefit them in breaking through bottlenecks."
This Jadeite Dragon King Ginseng is one of the most treasured possessions in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's medicine storehouse, and it is priceless.
However, the Sea Soul Masters below the stage only gasped briefly before regaining their composure.
"Extend your lifespan by thirty years? That sounds good, but we Sea Soul Masters spend our lives with the sea, so we are physically strong and can easily live to be a hundred years old."
"Strengthening the foundation and cultivating vitality... The fruit of that ten-thousand-year-old ice marrow coral can directly increase one's cultivation by five years, this seems... a bit slow?"
"The product itself is good, but it doesn't feel that amazing."
Although the murmurs were soft, they were clearly heard by everyone in the VIP section.
Ning Fengzhi's expression remained unchanged, but he sighed inwardly.
Indeed, different growing environments lead to different perspectives.
In the eyes of these Sea Soul Masters who can easily see rare treasures that are thousands or even tens of thousands of years old, this precious ginseng, which was enough to cause a bloodbath on the continent, did indeed receive a lukewarm response.
He put away the jade ginseng and walked off the stage with a smile.
Immediately afterwards, a cold and noble aura spread out.
Bibi Dong rose and walked lightly onto the main stage.
She didn't say any polite words, but coldly surveyed the entire room. Her domineering aura made many Sea Soul Masters shudder.
With a flick of her slender hand, a ball of pale blue light floated in her palm.
Within the sphere of light, it seemed as if countless wronged souls were howling, and a pure yet chilling wave of soul energy spread out, causing the approaching soul masters to feel a chill in their hearts.
"Crystal of Soul's Vengeance".
Bibi Dong's voice was cold and clear, "It was created by collecting thousands of vengeful souls using a secret method and refining them over eighty-one years. It can be used to cultivate spiritual power, or to forge soul tools that specialize in attacking the soul."
This item is more effective than Ning Fengzhi's Jade Dragon King Ginseng, since treasures that can affect mental power are rare anywhere.
But soon, some people started whispering among themselves.
"This thing... feels a bit eerie. Compared to the Soul-Eating Demon Reef on Black Reef Island, it seems to lack a bit of natural charm."
"Yes, the Soul-Devouring Reef absorbs and gently nourishes free spiritual energy. This... feels like it forcibly devours it, it's too domineering, and there might be side effects."
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong frowned slightly.
She retrieved the Soul Resentment Crystal, snorted coldly, and turned back to her seat.
The treasures of the Spirit Hall emphasize practicality and power, which is clearly somewhat incompatible with the Sea Spirit Masters' philosophy of revering the creation of nature.
The lukewarm response to the two consecutive treasures of the continent seemed to intensify the barely perceptible contempt in the eyes of the Sea Soul Masters.
The playful smile on Hailong Douluo's lips became even more pronounced.
Just then, a tall and burly figure stood up. Without saying a word, he carried a huge burlap sack, strode onto the stage, and threw the sack to the ground.
"Bang!"
A muffled thud shook the entire exhibition hall.
The newcomer was none other than Tang Xiao, the sect leader of the Haotian Sect.
He untied the bag and rolled out a piece of jet-black ore, about the size of a human head, shimmering with a metallic luster.
The audience erupted in uproar, but this time not in amazement, but in bewilderment.
"What is this? A lump of iron?"
"Judging by its color, it's a decent iron ore, but... is that all?"
"We could probably dig up a ton of these near any underwater volcano, right?"
"This is far inferior to the previous two items. Is the Haotian Sect here to make a joke?"
Faced with a barrage of questions, Tang Xiao remained expressionless and completely ignored them.
He simply took a deep breath, and his right arm suddenly lit up, a huge and ferocious hammer appearing out of thin air in his hand.
"Buzz—"
The moment the Clear Sky Hammer appeared, an unparalleled domineering and heavy aura suppressed the entire scene like a mountain!
The discussions among all the Sea Soul Masters abruptly ceased. They were horrified to discover that, under this overwhelming aura, even breathing had become difficult!
"Haotian Sect!"
The Sea Dragon Douluo's pupils suddenly contracted, and the playful smile on his face vanished instantly, replaced by an unprecedented solemnity.
