**
The auction house gradually filled up. Despite the large number of attendees, it did not feel overcrowded, clearly indicating meticulous planning.
At the same time, Mo Yu entered his private booth and took a seat.
The chair was crafted from jade, covered with soft fur. Sitting on it, he could faintly sense a gentle stream of spiritual energy flowing into his body. Clearly, both the jade and the fur were far from ordinary.
The scale of this auction was leagues beyond anything Mo Yu had seen back in the Dou Qi Continent.
As time passed, the atmosphere inside the auction house reached its peak. Finally, with a sudden burst of light from the center of the venue, a faint bell chime seemed to echo in the air.
Countless gazes turned toward the light.
Amidst the glowing pillar, an elderly man in white robes emerged. His hair and beard were snow-white, his expression solemn and unsmiling, exuding an air of strict authority.
Ordinarily, such a stern individual would be ill-suited to hosting an auction. However, as soon as he appeared, the entire venue grew quieter. Murmurs of astonishment began to spread.
"This auction is actually being hosted by Master Mo Qing? Looks like the event is of an exceptionally high caliber."
"Indeed. Master Mo Qing is the top auctioneer in the marketplace. He can distinguish the authenticity of any treasure with just a glance. He rarely hosts auctions himself."
"Seems like we've come to the right place this time."
Mo Yu overheard the whispers below and glanced at the old man. He hadn't expected Mo Qing to be so well-known.
"A Third-Grade Supreme… decent strength," Mo Yu remarked indifferently as he observed him.
The Commercial Continent was merely an ordinary land. Aside from its advancements in trade, it was even inferior to the Myriad Weapons Region in some aspects. Therefore, for an auctioneer, reaching the level of a Third-Grade Supreme was already a remarkable feat, both in terms of status and strength.
As hushed conversations filled the venue, Mo Qing swept his gaze across the room, briefly pausing at the booths occupied by distinguished guests before clasping his hands in greeting.
"This old man greets you all. Let us now formally begin today's auction."
"You may already be familiar with my rules. Any auction I host will only feature ten items. However, I assure you, each one will be of the highest quality."
There was a hint of pride in his words, but no one refuted him. Clearly, they were well aware of his reputation and strict selection process.
"Interesting," Mo Yu chuckled. It was his first time encountering such a distinctive auctioneer. Even Ya Fei, the so-called Gold Queen of the Dou Qi Continent, might not have as much prestige.
Only ten items up for auction? That meant each one must have been meticulously chosen and would be of the highest value.
Under countless eager gazes, Mo Qing raised his hand, and a glowing orb appeared.
Inside the orb was a small boat, radiating endless light. Faint spatial fluctuations emanated from it.
"This is a Spatial Boat, a mid-grade spiritual artifact. It possesses no offensive power, but at its peak speed, even an Eighth-Grade Supreme would struggle to catch up," Mo Qing said with a slight smile.
"The starting price is 30,000 Supreme Spiritual Liquid."
A wave of astonishment swept through the crowd.
A speed-type artifact! Though only mid-grade and lacking offensive capabilities, the fact that even an Eighth-Grade Supreme couldn't keep up was shocking.
With this artifact, even if one was pursued, escape would be effortless.
While it had no offensive power, its sheer speed made up for it.
Mo Yu raised an eyebrow at the sight. He knew that weapons in the Great Thousand World were categorized into Spiritual Artifacts, Divine Artifacts, Saint Artifacts, Peerless Saint Artifacts and Beyond Saint Artifacts. A mid-grade spiritual artifact was already considered quite rare.
However, for someone of his level—Earthly Supreme—it was far too lacking. Naturally, he had no interest in bidding.
"31,000!"
Many powerhouses in the venue were tempted by the Spatial Boat. In this world, survival was paramount. Owning such an escape tool significantly increased one's safety.
"33,000!"
"35,000!"
Within a minute, the price skyrocketed from 30,000 Supreme Spiritual Liquid to 40,000, and the bidding finally began to slow down.
After all, 40,000 Supreme Spiritual Liquid was no small sum. Even an Eighth-Grade Supreme would have to refine continuously for months to accumulate that amount.
Not everyone had the luck to strike it rich like Mo Yu, who possessed a staggering wealth of one hundred million Supreme Spiritual Liquid.
Eventually, the Spatial Boat was sold for 45,000 Supreme Spiritual Liquid to a middle-aged man with a gaunt face.
Mo Yu showed a slight expression of surprise. He had known that his one hundred million Supreme Spiritual Liquid was an immense fortune, but because he had acquired it so easily, he hadn't thought much of it.
However, seeing that 40,000–50,000 Supreme Spiritual Liquid was enough to purchase a mid-grade spiritual artifact, he finally grasped the sheer purchasing power of his wealth. He couldn't help but thank Wind Emperor for urging him to extort the Blood God Clan.
"Haha, at this rate, everyone in the auction house combined might not even be as wealthy as I am," Mo Yu chuckled while stroking his chin.
"Haha! That one hundred million Supreme Spiritual Liquid is likely the Blood God Clan's accumulation over several decades. With it in your hands, you could easily establish a mid-tier force from scratch," Wind Emperor laughed.
Mo Yu also laughed and nodded.
Back when he left the Dou Qi Continent for the Great Thousand World, he had been penniless. Yet now, he had the experience of becoming filthy rich overnight.
Indeed, coming to the Great Thousand World had been the right decision.
New challenges, new adventures—it made him feel as if he had returned to his youthful days thirty years ago, when he had set out to explore the continent with burning passion.
"The second auction item..."
After the first auction concluded, Mo Qing waved his hand, summoning another glowing orb. Within it flowed a silver liquid.
The liquid resembled thunder essence, coursing with arcs of electricity. A violent thunderous energy filled the entire auction house.
"This is Heavenly Thunder Jade Marrow, a rare essence formed in the deepest parts of the Nine Heavens Thunder Pool. The thunder jade undergoes refinement for ten thousand years before transforming into jade marrow. Among the ninety-nine tiers of Supreme Dharma Bodies, some powerful ones require this item for cultivation."
"The starting price is 30,000 Supreme Spiritual Liquid."
Countless gazes focused on the jade marrow.
It was indeed a rare treasure, but its usage was limited. Only those cultivating certain Supreme Dharma Bodies would need it.
However, Mo Yu's silver eyes flickered slightly at the mention of it.
His Heavenly Dharma Body might not have ranked among the top ninety-nine Supreme Dharma Bodies, but its power was no weaker than those in the top twenty.
As for whether the Heavenly Dharma Body could be strengthened or even evolved, Mo Yu was cultivating it for the first time, with no predecessors to reference. Therefore, he was unsure. However, deep in his heart, he vaguely felt that the current form of the Heavenly Dharma Body was not its most powerful state.
With that thought, Mo Yu gazed at the Heavenly Thunder Jade Marrow, and an idea began to take shape in his mind.
Although this single drop of Heavenly Thunder Jade Marrow would not cause much change to the Heavenly Dharma Body, it could still verify his hypothesis—whether, with the assistance of external forces, the Heavenly Dharma Body could continue to strengthen or even evolve.
"Thirty-two thousand!"
"Thirty-five thousand!"
"..."
While Mo Yu was contemplating, the price for the Heavenly Thunder Jade Marrow continued to rise. Though its uses were somewhat obscure, it was still a rare heavenly treasure, attracting many bidders. In less than a minute, the price had already been raised to around forty-three thousand drops of Supreme Spiritual Liquid.
Mo Yu rubbed the jade armrest of his chair, scanning the auction hall. He did not bid immediately—after all, with his current wealth, he could simply seal the deal with a single bid, without the need for repeated offers.
The bidding continued intermittently for several more minutes until the price finally settled at fifty-seven thousand drops of Supreme Spiritual Liquid.
The white-robed elder on the auction stage saw that the bidding had reached its conclusion. He waited for a brief moment before preparing to announce the final result. However, just as he was about to speak, a calm voice suddenly rang out.
"Seventy thousand."
Mo Yu finally made his move, his voice indifferent as he directly raised the price by thirteen thousand.
Hearing this price, many gazes turned toward him, their eyes filled with astonishment. Such an extravagant bid was truly shocking.
However, when they saw that the bidder was from one of the private booths above, they quickly fell silent. After all, just the entry ticket for those booths cost thousands of drops of Supreme Spiritual Liquid—anyone sitting there was bound to be incredibly wealthy.
Just as Mo Yu thought he had secured the Heavenly Thunder Jade Marrow with a single decisive bid, an irritating voice suddenly rang out.
"One hundred thousand!"
The moment the bid was made, the auction hall erupted in an uproar. A treasure like the Heavenly Thunder Jade Marrow, with such a niche application, had been pushed to a price of one hundred thousand—and the bidder had even raised it by a staggering thirty thousand in one go!
Even the white-robed elder acting as the auctioneer was momentarily stunned. He quickly glanced between Mo Yu's private booth and the booth of the new bidder. A flicker of understanding flashed in his aged eyes.
"Mo Yu, the one bidding against you is Yu Wang."
At that moment, Wind Emperor recognized the voice behind the bid and spoke in a deep tone, "He must have sensed your earlier killing intent toward him, took note of your booth, and is now deliberately targeting you."
Hearing this, Mo Yu's expression darkened slightly. He hadn't expected that despite Yu Wang's reputation for debauchery, the man was still so perceptive. It seemed that anyone who had reached the level of Earthly Supreme was not to be underestimated.
"Hmph, a mere Lesser Earthly Supreme wants to compete with me? Let's see who can outbid whom!"
Mo Yu sneered coldly before calling out again.
"One hundred fifty thousand!"
With a staggering fortune of one hundred million drops of Supreme Spiritual Liquid, he was beyond wealthy. He was eager to see what Yu Wang could possibly use to compete with him.
Although Mo Yu remained calm, the moment his bid was announced, the entire auction hall gasped.
One hundred fifty thousand Supreme Spiritual Liquid—many among the audience wouldn't be able to afford that even if they sold everything they owned.
"Oh? Quite the financial prowess, my friend. Offering one hundred fifty thousand drops for a mere drop of Heavenly Thunder Jade Marrow—may I ask where you are from?" The annoying voice rang out again.
"No comment," Mo Yu replied flatly.
Hearing this, the voice fell silent, its owner seemingly deep in thought.
Seeing that both sides had stopped bidding, the white-robed elder's eyes flashed with a trace of disappointment. However, considering that one hundred fifty thousand Supreme Spiritual Liquid was already an unexpected windfall, he soon smiled slightly.
With a wave of his sleeve, a bell chime echoed throughout the auction house, signaling that the Heavenly Thunder Jade Marrow had been successfully sold.
The auction continued.
The subsequent treasures included divine artifacts and divine techniques, each one extraordinary. As a result, fierce bidding wars erupted, making the atmosphere in the auction hall even more intense.
However, the items Mo Yu truly desired—the Everlasting Holy Spirit Fruit and the Undying Corpse Essence—had yet to appear.
This caused him to furrow his brows slightly. Had the intelligence he received been incorrect?
Time slowly passed as Mo Yu waited patiently. When the auction had progressed through six more items, his tightly closed eyes suddenly opened.
Because at that moment, on the stage, a brilliant radiance appeared in the hands of the white-robed elder. The dazzling glow carried an overwhelming aura of vitality, enveloping the entire auction house.
A peculiar fluctuation spread through the air.
For a moment, the auction hall fell into silence as countless eyes locked onto the source of the radiance. Within the depths of the glow, they could faintly see a vibrant green fruit, exuding an endless life force.
Mo Yu's gaze flickered as he stared at the fruit, a faint smile forming on his lips. At the same time, he could sense Wind Emperor's emotions surging with excitement—at long last, the Everlasting Holy Spirit Fruit had appeared.
As Mo Yu focused on the fruit, similar movements occurred in some of the other private booths. Numerous gazes locked onto it, clearly stirred by its presence.
"This is the Everlasting Holy Spirit Fruit. I'm sure many of you have heard of it. This fruit contains an exceptionally potent life force—so long as one isn't instantly killed, even if they are on the brink of death, consuming this fruit can restore them to full health and allow them to return to their peak. It is truly a life-saving divine treasure."
"I don't need to elaborate on its rarity. The starting bid for this Everlasting Holy Spirit Fruit is one hundred thousand drops of Supreme Spiritual Liquid!"
The moment the white-robed elder announced the price, a wave of gasps rippled through the crowd.
While the exorbitant price deterred many, their gazes remained filled with desire. After all, treasures that could save one's life in a critical moment were exceedingly rare.
Even Earthly Supreme experts would be tempted by such an item.
"One hundred five thousand drops of Supreme Spiritual Liquid!"
Hearing this price, Mo Yu's lips curled into a smirk.
This was merely the starting bid. To actually claim this fruit, a brutal bidding war was inevitable. He had no idea how high the price would soar.
But no matter what, with his immense wealth and Wind Emperor's kindness toward him, he would not allow this Everlasting Holy Spirit Fruit to fall into anyone else's hands.
