Since this was a once-in-a-thousand-years auction gathering between the two clans, the successive premium items that followed naturally held extraordinary significance. Yet none of these were what Han Li specifically sought. Immediately after the first batch of premium items was sold, Tian Yanzǐ summoned another group of attendants and began auctioning large quantities of medicinal materials and rare elixirs—items typically unseen at ordinary auctions. Naturally, these fell short of Han Li’s interest. Only when several types of medicinal flowers and herbs, cultivated exclusively by the Ling clan, came up did Han Li begin to feel genuinely intrigued. However, upon learning that these special herbs required the careful cultivation using the very essence of the Ling clan’s spiritual energy to mature, he abandoned the idea. Though these herbs exhibited astonishing efficacy, rivaling even some legendary holy medicines, they could not be ripened directly by the mysterious green liquid within his small bottle. For Han Li, such high-tier medicinal plants, which could not be mass-produced, held little practical value regardless of their rarity. And after the batch of spiritual elixirs and pills had been auctioned off, a continuous stream of legal techniques, cultivation methods, and divine artifacts and treasures were then unveiled one after another. These items were particularly well-suited for beings at the Transformation and Immortal Body stages, so as soon as they were presented, the entire auction hall immediately became lively and bustling. Nearly every single item was fiercely contested by hundreds of representatives from the two clans. Amidst this, several more premium pieces were introduced—among them, over ten vials of "Sunrise Pills" that enhance the spiritual power of Consolidated Body cultivators, a jade scroll recording the cultivation techniques of a renowned Consolidated Body cultivator who perished over ten thousand years ago, and two divine artifacts of true treasure status. These offerings naturally elevated the entire auction to a new level of intensity. Yet even now, the Consolidated Body cultivators from the third layer remain largely passive, with few participants actively bidding. Occasionally, someone does step forward to make a bid, but others rarely follow up to compete. It seems that most are conserving their strength, patiently awaiting something significant. When the final dozen towering war-beasts, each reaching ten zhang in height, were all purchased in a single breath by an unknown, enigmatic figure using tens of millions of spiritual stones, the grand auction finally reached its closing phase. At this moment, Tian Yanzǐ smiled warmly and bowed to the gathered audience: "The two final items to be auctioned are the most precious treasures of this entire event. Though my abilities are limited, I am unable to personally conduct the auction for such rare pieces. Therefore, the final two items will be presented and sold by the esteemed Lí Huǒ Jiāo Wáng, and by their original owner—a mysterious guest from a foreign nation." After delivering these words, the white-robed elder bowed once more to the audience and then walked away without waiting to see their reactions. Though many had previously heard rumors of foreign guests appearing at the auction, the audience was now stirred with a sense of surprise and excitement. After all, the relations between the two clans and the neighboring ethnic groups were far from harmonious—indeed, only a few centuries ago had they just concluded a major war involving several clans, including the Yōja clan. However, as soon as the red-robed Li-Huo-Jiao King walked onto the stage alongside a yellow-robed woman, everyone instantly fell silent. A collective hush fell over the crowd, and all eyes turned to the graceful figure standing beside the Li-Huo-Jiao King. The yellow-robed woman had a round face, delicate skin, and appeared only about seventeen or eighteen years old—her face always lit with a warm, sweet smile, instantly endearing to those who saw her. Many were astonished to see such a demeanor in someone considered "ethnically different." Only those who had cultivated unique spiritual techniques could, at the very moment their spiritual awareness swept over her body, sense a subtle difference in her energy, one that was not quite like that of ordinary human beings. Han Li had no divine awareness at all; his eyes, which had been closed, had already opened, and with a flash of blue light in his pupils, he immediately noticed the unusual aspect of the yellow-robed woman. A brief expression of surprise flashed across his face before settling back into calm. At that moment, the Fire-Sea Dragon King, standing beside the yellow-robed woman, spoke: "I need not introduce myself. As for the Thousand-Qing Saint Princess beside me, I'm sure many of you have heard of her name. These two final, most prized items in today's auction were brought all the way from the Spirit-Object Clan by Master Qianqiu." The Fire-Sea Dragon King's voice was slightly hoarse, yet carried an undeniable dignity. The yellow-robed woman bowed gracefully, her voice melodious: "My name is Qianqiu. I serve as the Saint Princess of the Spirit-Object Clan. I extend my greetings to all of you." Though her face bore a smile, her demeanor was neither humble nor overly formal—she carried herself as if she belonged perfectly in this foreign land. "Saint Princess Qianqiu! Of the Spirit-Object Clan!" That isn't one of the Four Sacred Spirits of the Spirit-Resonance Clan—isn't it on par with a combined-body cultivator?!" "Indeed! A non-human clan member appearing at the auction gala—rumors are truly coming true!" ...As soon as the words of the Fire-Jacal King and the woman in yellow robes had settled, the entire hall stirred once again. Seeing this, the Thousand-Season Princess of the Spirit-Resonance Clan remained calm, showing no signs of surprise or disturbance. In contrast, the Fire-Jacal King furrowed his brow and suddenly grew serious, lowering his voice: "Everyone, be quiet. The Princess Thousand-Season has come here only after receiving unanimous approval from our three Emperors and seven Great Beast Kings. The reasons for her arrival will be explained to you after the auction concludes. Moreover, the precious treasures she is offering for auction today represent our sincere goodwill toward both our clans. The spiritual stones generated from the auction will be directly gifted to our two clans." Upon hearing the Fire-Jacal King's words, the members from both clans below grew noticeably still. Many people were quietly pondering the meaning behind the Dragon King's words. At that moment, the woman in yellow robes smiled gently, then gently turned her jade hand, and suddenly a circular disc adorned with gold and silver, along with a white jade scroll, appeared in her hands. She then continued: "The first treasure is called the Universal Forest Wheel Disc—a transcendental spiritual treasure listed among the top treasures on the Universal Efficacy List. Originally one of our clan's foundational treasures. This time, to truly express our clan's intent, we have brought it out for auction. This disc is said to be capable of manifesting all things in the world. With just one disc in hand, one can instantly perform ninety-nine distinct illusion techniques. Should the wielder's power be sufficient, and they sequentially layer all ninety-nine techniques, even a Consolidation Stage cultivator within the sphere would find it nearly impossible to escape. However, this powerful, all-or-nothing attack may drain the full spiritual energy of a typical Consolidation Stage cultivator. Those who wish to secure this treasure should pay close attention and proceed with caution." "As for the second treasure, it is a meticulously crafted blueprint of an ancient celestial war vessel that our spirit-ancestry clan acquired at a premium price from other ethnic groups. This vessel can carry over a thousand people, inscribe powerful magical arrays, and offers flawless defense and offense—its speed in flight is also astonishing. It is absolutely an ideal asset for survival during a specific period of time." When the thousand-year-old noble maiden concluded this sentence, she smiled gently, as if subtly implying something. Then, with a flash of luminous light from her fingers as she gripped the circular disc, she channeled a portion of her spiritual energy into it, and with a slight wave of her arm, a cascade of rosy light radiated from the golden and silver disc, sweeping directly toward the members of the two clans below. The members of both clans were caught off guard, gasping in surprise; many of them even experienced a brief shimmer of spiritual light, forming layers of protective energy on their bodies. But at the very next moment, they were overwhelmed by a sudden burst of floral fragrance, and then, as if swept by a soft pink glow, the once brilliantly luminous hall suddenly revealed a myriad of colorful, strange flowers blooming all around. Each flower, about the size of a clenched fist, exuded an extraordinary aroma, filling every corner of the hall. However, some adept practitioners immediately recognized this as no more than a mere illusion, marveling aloud. "Since I have not yet refined the Wàn Sēn Luán Pán, the illusions I can currently summon are still only a fraction—less than one-tenth—of its true potential. Moreover, the illusion I just performed was merely one of the eighty-one, the most unremarkable among them," the yellow-robed woman said, a statement that even three-tiered fusion cultivators would find impressive. "As for this celestial war vessel blueprint—the massive vessel depicted within it was likely the pinnacle warship of the Tílè Clan, which once dominated the Tiānyuán Continent over fifty thousand years ago." Although the cost of crafting such a colossal vessel is staggering and leaves one awestruck, once it is truly realized, beyond the aforementioned advantages, this vessel can directly amplify the combat strength of over a thousand disciples by several fold, enabling them to move freely and respond effectively in times of crisis. Regrettably, the sheer volume of rare resources required makes large-scale production impractical. Otherwise, with this map alone, a significant enhancement of the entire lineage's strength would indeed be achievable. This time, the thousand-year-old noble maiden of the Artifact Spirit Clan spoke with a bright, clear smile, emphasizing her words unmistakably. "Master Qianchou has already fully explained the origins and functions of the two items. The power of the Wanshen Platform has also been demonstrated. As for the map of the Heaven-Supporting War Vessel, I have personally commissioned experts for a thorough verification—its authenticity is beyond doubt. I know that many of you have come here primarily in pursuit of this very map. Nevertheless, I would like to offer one piece of advice. Although this war vessel is indeed immensely powerful, the cost of constructing it far exceeds what most people could imagine. Some of the more financially strained friends may want to reconsider their interest in it—lest, after spending a fortune to secure the blueprint, they still find themselves unable to actually forge the vessel. Well, then, let us begin the auction for the Wanshen Wheel Disc at a base price of eight million spiritual stones! While the Li Fire Dragon King merely offered a few quiet remarks, he promptly announced the base price and initiated the auction. Yet among the small huts of the three-story structure, an unexpected silence settled, with no one daring to call out a price first.
