”Bull! Total bull!” Yan Zaizen had already gone through seven different types of cake. Every time a bid for a water-attributed heavenly material went up, he would bid an absurd price, but every time, without fail, he would not obtain any message of winning. Which meant, he lost every last one of his bids. At the moment, he was stressed.
The atmosphere was different than one filled with intense bidding and slinging insults. It was an atmosphere of the unknown. However, even he was unwilling to throw money at things and suffer an intense loss. How sad would that be? After all, he loved obtaining things. But he loved his money more. In the end, in the cultivation world, it's possible he'll obtain these things using...other methods.
Moreover, he could probably just find a greater realm and buy these things for less than the auctioned price. Unlike others who would take millennia or centuries to travel to other realms, he had a realmship!
As the auction continued, he just simply stopped bidding on heavenly materials.
”Next item: Our first heavenly-tier pill! Seventh State Earth Pill! This pill will allow you to reach the seventh state of self-enlightenment. If appropriately used, it could support you in enhancing your soul cultivation!” The auctioneer transmitted, her voice contained traces of excitement.
Yan Zaizen's brows furrowed. He had heard of these pills. The seventh state was essentially overt awareness of the seventh sense. If the five senses were physical, the sixth was instinctual, then the seventh was personal awareness. It's one's perception of themselves rather than what they hear, see, feel, taste, or touch, but who they truly were.
Essentially, this seventh state wasn't much different from enlightenment, except it only helped with understanding yourself through introspection. The eighth sense related to the heavens and how it's perceived, typically relating to laws and concepts. In records, it's stated that all existences have nine senses. However, no one knows what the ninth sense is.
”The Seventh State has three pills, Earth, Sky, and Heaven,” Tao explained, ”Each was heavenly-tier, but the Earth Pill was only low-grade in quality. Even if you obtained it, or any of the others, it didn't mean you'll be able to progress in soul cultivation, simply be an additional support. It's quite similar to the True Sublimation Pill.”
Yan Zaizen nodded. Tao's words were the truth, even if he obtained it, it didn't mean he would or could make a breakthrough in his soul cultivation. It just meant that entering the state would occur. The greater the grade of the pill, the greater the immersion.
However, Bai Lufeng's eyes flickered at this. To him, this pill was vastly important. He had a deep, deep heart demon embedded in his psyche. This directly impacted his soul. If he could enhance his soul cultivation, perhaps the hindrance would be alleviated or removed! Right now, he needed to face his demon through introspection and this could help it.
Yan Zaizen knew this, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he glanced at Bai Lufeng who was fidgeting.
The market price of this pill was absurd.
”...three quintillion essence crystals…” Tao muttered, causing Bai Lufeng to fidget even more. This was equivalent to three heavenly drops. THREE! This was three centuries of a Heavenly Genesis experts effort. That was just the base price.
”Haaaaa…” Yan Zaizen deeply sighed. Bai Lufeng wasn't like Tao to him. Tao was a brother who he swore to travel the myriad realms with at their lowest. He would fight the very heavens for him fearlessly, but Bai Lufeng...he was more like a weak soldier who had very little use. He couldn't even pilot the realmship. If it wasn't for the fact that he's been loyal to Yan Zaizen since joining, he would've left him in the Xiantu Realm.
Bai Lufeng knew this. He felt awkward and guilty just wishing to ask. All those years ago, Yan Zaizen could've killed him but instead, he let him join in their adventures. When he was kidnapped and tortured, Yan Zaizen saved his life. Yet...he desired much but could only offer little.
After a while, Yan Zaizen rationalized.
In the Border Expanse, those mouth-balls could've taken their lives. If it wasn't for Bai Lufeng informing him, it's possible they could've ended up in the belly of those things. In truth, this was the case. If Tao had experienced Bai Lufeng's feelings, his unreasonable confidence would've led him to disregard it. Only Bai Lufeng, who learned his lesson in the Xiantu Realm about not immediately informing others, would've taken such a course of action.
”Five heavenly drops.” Yan Zaizen directly announced, causing Tao to softly smile. Bai Lufeng was shocked. His gaze towards Yan Zaizen contained profound, immeasurable thanks.
After an hour, ”Mister, you've won the bid for the Seventh State Earth Pill. Your assigned lot number for all purchases is 181. Thank you for your purchase.” The auctioneer's soft, delicate voice resounded in the Meteor Ring. So, it seems that they truly did send messages. However, this left him disheartened. He truly lost all his previous bids.
The bids continued.
”We have a very special item! A dual cultivation cauldron, a hybrid of a Divine Beast - The Pale Arctic Wolf - and a human of the gigantus race!” The Auctioneer's voice was filled with brilliant excitement, and even her eyes were shining with profound light. As she did, a silver-bar cage was rolled into sight. It contained a naked woman.
When Yan Zaizen and the others saw this woman, they were immensely shocked. The most notable feature of this woman was her ample, vastly ample, bosom. Despite her curvy figure, long legs, soft jade skin, deep-white hair that reached her feet, what stood out was her chest! Her figure was slightly thick, filled with delicate musculature that didn't take away from her soft skin or seem overly manly.
