...
Tianrui Holy City.
The Sacred City is truly enormous, with countless places to visit. Wang Shouzhe has wandered around for over a month and hasnāt even explored one-tenth of it.
However, today, Wang Shouzhe and Yun Tiange didnāt venture out to continue their exploration of the Sacred City. Instead, they waited early in the morning at Guanhu Tiange.
Because today, the Divine Treasure Hall is hosting an auction.
Every auction requires extensive preparation in advance. Naturally, Yao Yumei informed Wang Shouzhe early on and arranged the time with him.
Early in the morning, Yao Yumei deployed a flying carriage specifically to pick up Wang Shouzhe and Yun Tiange from Guanhu Tiange and take them to the auction venue.
An auction is a very common form of trading. In a place like the Sacred City, where talents gather, they are held even more frequently.
After all, selling rare and valuable treasures casually can be unwise. Selling them through auction often achieves a more reasonable price, and for a commercial organization like the Divine Treasure Hall, itās excellent publicity.
And todayās auction is likely the highest standard auction held by the Divine Treasure Hall in recent years.
Yao Yumei informed him in advance and prepared everything for him beforehand.
In the flying carriage, Yao Yumei poured a cup of tea for each of them, then took out a large bag of Immortal Spirit Stones from her Storage Ring and handed it to Yun Tiange, saying: "Sister Tiange, here are one hundred fifty-three Immortal Spirit Stones, all earned from selling the miscellaneous items you entrusted to me."
Over time, as they spent more time together, the relationship between Yao Yumei, Wang Shouzhe, and Yun Tiange became increasingly close, and they spoke and acted much more casually and intimately than before.
If it were before, she wouldnāt have spoken to Yun Tiange so casually.
The so-called miscellaneous items were naturally the "garbage" picked up from the Divine Martial Heavenly Ruins.
Every three years, thereās a tidal recession at the Divine Martial Heavenly Ruins. Yun Tiange and the scavenger team picked up garbage for a hundred and fifty years, accumulating quite a bit.
Of course.
In those hundred and fifty years, they certainly picked up more than this, but all the good items that could be directly used were already divided up, especially Codices, Dao-level Items, Half-immortal Artifacts, etc., they naturally couldnāt be sold off wholesale.
What she entrusted to Yao Yumei were items difficult to handle in the Divine Martial World, mostly fragments of Dao-level Items and Immortal Artifacts. These "garbage" fetching one hundred fifty-three Immortal Spirit Stones was already quite a windfall.
"Thank you, Sister Yumei." Yun Tiange joyfully held the large bag of Immortal Spirit Stones, her smile radiant.
Unfortunately, this was public money, not her personal funds.
"Itās just a minor task, not worth mentioning." Yao Yumei was modestly humble, not taking any credit.
To her, it was indeed a minor task.
Though that pile of miscellaneous items was numerous, the Divine Treasure Hall staff were even more numerous, so she simply delegated it and had it processed quickly. Moreover, in business terms, the Divine Treasure Hall also made significant profits from this deal.
"By the way, Sister Yumei." Yun Tiange seemed to just remember, asking eagerly, "You mentioned thereās an Immortal Scripture on auction this time?"
"Indeed, itās an Immortal Scripture called [Yimu Immortal Technique]." Yao Yumei replied, "This Immortal Scripture has average combat strength but excellent supportive capabilities, and it has lifespan extension effects, also beneficial for cultivating Spirit Plants."
Actually, most Wood Type Immortal Scriptures donāt excel in combat strength, but if partnered with an appropriate Life-bound Immortal Plant, the combat strength surpasses ordinary True Immortals.
For example, Emperor Xiu and Wu Dao Immortal Monarch. Theyāve just ascended to Immortal Plant status, yet their supportive abilities are already formidable. Combined with True Immortal Realm fighters, the effect is undoubtedly greater than the sum of its parts.
Regrettably, even for Wood Type True Immortals, finding a suitable Life-bound Immortal Plant remains exceedingly difficult. Hence, most Wood Type True Immortals mostly play a supportive role, a one-on-one with other True Immortals would be pure self-abuse.
"Thatās wonderful." Yun Tiange smiled, "Our young master happens to be looking for a Wood Type Immortal Scripture."
"Even the young masterās family lacks an Immortal Scripture?" Yao Yumei chuckled lightly, "Ah yes, I recall the young master seeming to have a Wood Type Bloodline. Last time in the Xinluo Immortal Dynasty, his mastery of the Law was nearly comparable to the True Immortal Realm. The inherited Immortal Scripture must be extraordinary."
Wang Shouzhe merely smiled, saying little.
But Yun Tiange, proudly boasted to Yao Yumei: "Our young masterās Immortal Scripture is a high-level one! In the future, it has the potential to ascend to a Sacred Image..."
"As expected of the young master... Iāve never seen a high-level Immortal Scripture!" Yao Yumeiās eyes filled with surprise, mixed with a bit of regret, "Itās a pity that the young master, in the Void Realm, is destined to inherit the Sacred Image, so this Immortal Scripture..."
Ordinary people often struggle to acquire even a regular Immortal Scripture, but for someone like Shouzhe, even a high-level Immortal Scripture is merely a transitional toolāindeed, different lives for different people.
But thatās normal, like the goddess in ordinary peopleās eyes, in the case of... ...
"Thereās nothing to pity." Wang Shouzhe said calmly, "This high-level Immortal Scripture following me still has the chance to become a Sacred Image in the future."
"Certainly." Yao Yumei chuckled softly, "As long as the young master doesnāt abandon it, letting it be like a concubine, clinging to the side, when the young master becomes the Sacred Supreme, it will likely not be far from a Sacred Image. If the young master continues forward, he can further improve it, assisting it to become a Sacred Image."
