The atmosphere in the square was extremely eerie.
Ning Rongrong covered her mouth with her small hand, her shoulders trembling as she tried to suppress her laughter. Her beautiful eyes curved into crescents as she looked at her senior brother's back with adoration.
Senior brother is too amazing. He even dares to "extort" immortals, and he does it with such confidence and a refreshingly unconventional attitude.
Xu Jiushi was no longer just giving a thumbs-up; he was practically bowing down in admiration. What does it mean to have a broad perspective?
That's what you call vision!
He used to think that the Lord was already a business genius, but now it seems that the Lord's business has successfully expanded into the realm of the gods.
A pure, undisguised astonishment appeared in Bibi Dong's beautiful purple eyes.
As the inheritor of the Rakshasa God, she has the most direct understanding of the majesty of the gods.
In her view, mortals facing the true God should either revere, submit, or resist.
But Ning Liu is different; he treats God directly as a partner, the kind you can even negotiate with.
She had never considered this line of thinking.
However, it's no wonder that Ning Liu's Glazed Heaven Auction always manages to bring out something related to the gods!
In mid-air, the God of Cookery finally spoke.
"You're an interesting kid..."
The God of Cookery rubbed his chin.
"Special products of the divine realm? What do you want? Let me make it clear first, don't even think about truly valuable divine artifacts or elixirs. The rules of the divine realm are strict, and I cannot divulge them to the mortal realm without permission."
He thought Ning Liu would back down or make some demands for mortal treasures.
To everyone's surprise, Ning Liu smiled, a smile that was calm and composed, as if everything was under his control.
"Your Majesty misunderstands. I have no interest in those things involving fighting and killing."
He said slowly, "What I want are some 'useless things' that may be commonplace in the realm of gods, but are extremely precious in the eyes of mortals."
"Useless things?" The God of Cookery became even more curious.
Ning Liu held up two fingers and began to explain:
"For example, 'The Sigh of the God of Ice'."
Upon hearing this name, the God of Cookery's expression, which had just calmed down, froze again.
Ning Liu continued to explain, "As far as I know, this was formed from a breath of divine cold air exhaled from the chest of the God of Xuanbing when he was comprehending the desolation of being frozen for ten thousand years."
"It has no offensive power and cannot be used for cultivation. Its greatest use is to keep a small area frozen for ten thousand years. It would be excellent for chilling plum juice in the summer."
The God of Cookery's eyes twitched.
How does this kid know so much?
Xuanbing's old ice block's quirks are considered obscure knowledge even in the God Realm.
Iced plum juice? How could he even think of that!
Ignoring the God of Food's astonishment, Ning Liu continued, "For example, the 'Listening Tide Conch'."
"I've heard that this conch shell can capture the ripples in the river of fate caused by the power of the tides. It can't let people see the whole future, but it can let them hear a fragment of the future, or a sentence, or a laugh."
"In the realm of the gods, this thing is more of a source of amusement to relieve boredom, or an interesting collectible, isn't it?"
After he finished speaking, the God of Cookery fell completely silent.
He looked at Ning Liu with a completely new, scrutinizing, and astonished gaze.
This kid is definitely not talking nonsense.
He not only knew of the existence of these things, but also knew their origins and their "uses" in the divine realm.
These things are certainly not considered treasures by the gods.
The sigh of the God of Ice: that old ice block would spit out a breath whenever he was bored, and there were plenty of them.
The Tide-Listening Conch is a common decoration found in the palace of the Sea God. Occasionally, when a god visits, he will casually take two back as ornaments.
The question is, how could a mortal know these secrets of the divine realm?
A flash of inspiration struck the God of Food, and he instantly thought of two people—the God of Asura and the God of Rakshasa.
That makes sense. This kid has two gods watching over him and knows some insider secrets.
Having figured this out, the God of Cookery had no more doubts, only a mixture of amusement and exasperation.
So this kid had done his homework and was waiting for me here!
Looking at Ning Liu's sincere expression that said, "I'm just a pure collector," he finally couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Good! Good lad! You've truly broadened my horizons!"
The God of Cookery's loud laughter reverberated throughout the square.
"Alright! I agree! They're just some little trinkets, the divine realm has plenty! How many do you want, I'll get them for you!"
He agreed very readily.
For him, these things were just like visiting other gods and casually taking something... no, it was more like friendly relations and exchanging local specialties.
If this deal can solve the major problem of passing on one's legacy, it will be a huge win!
Thank you.
Ning Liu's smile widened; having achieved his goal, he was quite pleased.
“However…” he drawled out his words once again.
The God of Cookery's heart, which had just settled, tightened again. He looked at him warily and asked, "What kind of trick are you up to now?"
Ning Liu raised his third finger, his smile appearing exceptionally innocent:
"One last small request. I enjoy collecting things, and I value the word 'broad,' meaning a wide variety of items."
"Therefore, I hope that the variety of these 'specialties' Your Majesty provides can be as great as possible, and preferably... that the related deities should not be repeated."
"For example, today it might be the sigh of the God of Ice, tomorrow it could be an 'Eternal Flower' that never fades in the garden of the Goddess of Life, and the day after it could be some other god..."
