I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

Chapter 625: Chapter 623 Buddha Sitting Lotus

“Fellow Daoists, I believe you have all acquired your coveted treasures at the various sub-venues,”

“However, the real show is just beginning. Now, let us start our grand auction.”

“Enough talk, bring out the treasure!”

A burst of treasure light flew out from the screen, arriving in front of the Golden Core Late Stage cultivator who was presiding over the grand meeting.

As the light receded, a dark tome appeared before everyone. On the cover of the tome was a giant eye which was slightly moving, giving a subtlety profound feeling that one’s Spiritual Sense might become immersed in it.

“This item is called ‘Celestial Demon Law.’ It is a Low Rank Divine Ability related to Illusion Techniques. Once cultivated, it grants mysterious and unpredictable Eye Art Divine Abilities. The starting bid is sixty thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones, with each bid increment no less than three thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones.”

“Begin!”

“Low Rank Divine Ability?”

“And it’s a rare Eye Art Divine Ability at that!”

“The Sea Tower Chamber of Commerce really sets a high bar from the start.”

The many cultivators around the screen were all abuzz upon hearing about the ‘Celestial Demon Law’ Divine Ability, discussing it animatedly.

To know, even in a huge entity like the Liyang Dao Sect, Divine Abilities are not common treasures, and as the Sea Tower Chamber of Commerce started off with the ‘Celestial Demon Law’, it naturally astonished most of the cultivators present.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Sixty-five thousand!”

“Eighty thousand Spirit Stones!”

For a time, various shouts of bidding filled the air.

Lu Xuan stood quietly on the meteorite, watching with a calm demeanor as the multitude of Jindan Cultivators clamored over this Low Rank Divine Ability.

Though he had some interest, he was aware of his financial capacity. Bidding for this Divine Ability would be somewhat strenuous, so his focus was on acquiring Spiritual Seeds, Monster Beast Cubs, or Fetal Eggs.

However, he gained more appreciation for the value of the ‘Soul-Stealing Blood Palm’ in his possession.

After acquiring the ‘Soul-Stealing Blood Palm’, and because the Divine Ability is quite bizarre with the possibility of mutation risks upon cultivation, he had placed it together with the ‘Blood God Nerve,’ planning to sell it or exchange it for High-grade Spirit Seeds after breaking through to Core Formation.

In his Spirit Field, there were quite a few maturing Fifth Rank Spirit Plants and even a Sixth-rank Phoenix Tree that had been cultivated over the years. Lu Xuan was not worried about failing to acquire a satisfactory Cultivation Technique or Divine Ability.

Eventually, the ‘Celestial Demon Law’ was acquired by a Golden Core Intermediate Cultivator for a price over one hundred and twenty thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones.

Lu Xuan’s heart was inwardly shocked, and he further elevated the value of the ‘Soul-Stealing Blood Palm’ in his mind.

“Next is a Five-grade Flying Sword, coming from…”

The amiable middle-aged cultivator then took out a cyan Flying Sword emitting spiritual light all around. The sword, with cloud-like Spirit Patterns on its body, was as light as a feather in the cultivator’s hand.

“The Flying Sword is good, but it’s slightly inferior to my Peacock King Sword,”

Lu Xuan, located at a distance, silently compared the merits of the two Flying Swords in his mind.

Various treasures made their appearance, causing the atmosphere on site to be extremely lively, with cultivators occasionally blushing and their ears turning red in the heated bids for certain treasures.

“All right, the next item is a special Spiritual Seed…”

The middle-aged cultivator’s voice clearly reached Lu Xuan’s ears.

“My Spiritual Seed! It’s finally here!”

Lu Xuan’s spirits were lifted, and he was full of fighting spirit, already considering the Spiritual Seed as his own.

“The Rank of the Spiritual Seed is Sixth Grade; it is named Buddha Sitting Lotus. It is said to originate from the Buddhist Holy Land, the Strange Realm’s Floating Temple, where a Buddha upon his lotus seat, through a fortunate coincidence, gave birth to this Spiritual Seed.”

A Lotus Seed with flowing Buddha’s light appeared before everyone.

Its size was many times larger than an ordinary Lotus Seed, about the size of an infant’s head, emitting a bright yellow Buddhist light that conveyed a sense of tranquility and peace.

Within the Lotus Seed, one could vaguely see the silhouette of a little novice flitting and sleeping inside, very lively.

“Sixth Grade Buddha Sitting Lotus Spiritual Seed, starting bid fifty-five thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones, with each increment no less than two thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones.”

“Begin!”

“Sixty-five thousand!”

As soon as the voice faded, a clear and sonorous voice rang out; the crowd turned toward the sound, only to see a barefoot monk riding a meteorite, flying out from the group of cultivators with a fervent look in his eyes, staring at the Buddha Sitting Lotus seeds.

The monk was an Early Jindan Stage Cultivator with a not-insignificant reputation as a Loose Cultivator in the Liyang Region.

The instant he saw the Buddha Sitting Lotus Spirit Seed, greed to make it his own surged in his heart, and his intuition told him that once he cultivated the spirit seed to maturity, he could benefit immensely, possibly even breaking through to the Mid-term of Nascent Soul stage.

“Sixty-eight thousand.”

Soon, another Early Jindan Stage Cultivator raised the price a little further.

Among the many cultivators present, all were aware of the rarity of a Sixth Grade Spirit Seed; even if they were not accustomed to cultivating spiritual plants, they still tentatively made bids, hoping to snag the Buddha Sitting Lotus Spirit Seed by chance.

The bidding for the spiritual seed swiftly climbed to eighty thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones.

After this price point, the number of cultivators raising the bid decreased significantly.

After all, although a Sixth Grade Spirit Seed was precious, the difficulty in cultivating it also increased accordingly. Even Golden Core Real People could not guarantee their success in cultivation, and with maturation cycles that could easily span decades or centuries, it was not worth spending too many spirit stones.

“Eighty-three thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones.”

Lu Xuan, seeing that there were only a few competitors left, called out his bid.

When people used their Spiritual Sense to scan the bidder, they were surprised to find that it was a Foundation Establishment Perfect cultivator.

However, because the prohibitions and protections of the high-order magical artifact from the Sea Tower Chamber of Commerce sheltered him, even Primordial Infant True Monarchs were unable to discern Lu Xuan’s true appearance.

“Eighty-six thousand.”

On the opposite side, a Golden Core Intermediate Cultivator calmly called out.

“Ninety thousand, this Spirit Seed is mine.”

The monk cultivator said with determination, raising the auction price by four thousand in one go.

“Then I’ll leave it to Daoist buddy.”

The Golden Core Intermediate Cultivator hesitated for a moment and chose to back down. With ninety thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones, he could compete for other sixth-grade treasures.

“Ninety-four thousand.”

Before the mild-mannered middle-aged man could remind everyone to bid, Lu Xuan casually raised another four thousand.

Although he did not make any fierce statements, all those present could feel his determination to win.

“Ninety-six thousand, how about you let me have this Spirit Seed, fellow Daoist? I would be extremely grateful.”

The barefoot monk slowed down his bidding pace a bit and used a transmission to communicate with Lu Xuan, who was not far away.

“One hundred thousand.”

Lu Xuan was composed as he added another four thousand to the bid.

The Sixth Grade Spirit Seed was something he could not afford to miss. He didn’t know when he’d have another chance to acquire one, and his determination was unshakable, unaffected by the monk’s words.

“Sorry, I too wish to obtain this Spirit Seed.”

He replied to the monk.

The monk took a deep breath, dispelling the inner restlessness and frustration, all the while deliberating in his mind.

The Foundation Establishment cultivator had pushed the Buddha Sitting Lotus Spirit Seed’s price to one hundred thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones. This price for purchasing a Spirit Seed was already quite inflated.

More importantly, the opposition’s resolve seemed even stronger than his, and with such substantial wealth, his background was likely extraordinary. This made any idea of using his cultivation level to pressure others fade away into nothing.

“One hundred thousand for the first time.”

“One hundred thousand for the second time.”

“One hundred thousand for the third time! Sold! Congratulations to this fellow Daoist!”

The mild-mannered middle-aged cultivator called out, and the Sixth Grade Buddha Sitting Lotus went to Lu Xuan.

“Buddha Sitting Lotus, I wonder if it’s possible to end up with a Kwan-yin on it?”

A whimsical thought flashed through Lu Xuan’s mind as a surge of boundless joy filled his heart.
