"This mirror is called the Reflection Mirror. As long as it's pointed at a specific location, it can trace back events that happened within the past ten days, capturing all the surrounding images. It's like rewinding time—very useful for tracking, investigating, and uncovering the truth. Not bad at all. A curious little gadget. If anyone's interested, it's up for auction. I'm looking for mirrors with unique abilities; you can trade one in exchange. Otherwise, Eternal Coins will do."
The Mirror Queen spoke slowly, her tone carrying a lazy indifference.She showed no special concern for the mirror she presented. This was just something she brought out to test the waters.A mirror capable of showing the past could indeed be considered a rare artifact. However, to most cultivators, it held little practical value—it could only look backward, not forward. More like a reflective memory than true time manipulation.
It was essentially a novelty, far from a treasure that could glimpse the future.
What the Mirror Queen truly sought were mirrors with unique, mysterious functions. That was her actual goal. If anyone brought out such a mirror, she would not hesitate to exchange valuable treasures for it.
Among the ten seated participants, most simply shook their heads—uninterested.
"I'll buy it with Eternal Coins. I'll offer 300,000 Eternal Coins. What do you think, Fellow Daoist Mirror Queen? Of course, if you feel the price isn't to your liking, you're free to decline. All transactions here are voluntary—no one is forced into a trade."
Yi Tianxing smiled as he spoke.
In a normal auction, once the bid ends, the deal must be concluded regardless of price. But not here. Transactions here were free and flexible, though certain unspoken rules of conduct were still followed.
"Very well. Since the Emperor desires it, 300,000 Eternal Coins it is."
The Mirror Queen replied with a smile, not rejecting the offer.To her, the mirror was merely a toy. Trading it for 300,000 Eternal Coins was more than fair, perfectly within her expectations.
"Now it's my turn. This is a rare Architectural Treasure called the Potion Hall. It's extremely beneficial for alchemists and potion makers, greatly increasing success rates when concocting potions. If a suitable pill-forging platform is found, it can be integrated into the hall to further enhance success rates, and even produce mutated potions of exceptional quality. For potion makers, this is an invaluable treasure."
Tian Can (Crippled Sky) stepped forward, unveiling a treasure building resembling a palace, marked by soothing green symbols.
There was no denying it—this was a valuable item.
For potion makers and alchemists alike, anything that increased success rates was precious beyond measure. Even a slight boost could mean enormous profits.
"I seek top-tier divine materials, such as Phoenix Immortal Gold, Dragon Pattern Crimson Gold, or similar resources. Any one of them can be used in trade."
Tian Can's request was steep. Materials like Phoenix Immortal Gold contained innate Dao Rhyme, capable of being forged into Innate Spirit Treasures—a priceless resource to any cultivator, ideal for crafting personal weapons or even Dao-Proving treasures. Their potential was immense.
Such materials rivaled even Heaven-and-Earth-birthed treasures in value. In some ways, they exceeded them—especially because Innate Treasures developed their own restrictions naturally. Once obtained, they only needed nurturing rather than reforging.
Thus, though there was no fixed ratio between rare materials and Heaven-and-Earth treasures, they were often considered equal in value. The Potion Hall, being a complete treasure building, certainly had the qualifications to request such high-value trades.
"I have a divine material—Nine-Tribulation Thunder Pattern Wood—I'm willing to exchange for the Potion Hall."
Teng (Vine) stepped forward, showing keen interest.
This wood was no ordinary divine material. It was a miraculous tree that had survived nine heavenly tribulations—an astonishing rarity. Of the countless ancient trees struck by heavenly thunder, barely one in a million survived even one tribulation, let alone nine. The odds of survival were almost non-existent.
Its value was, without question, staggering.
"I possess Feathered Immortal Stone."
Elder Xiang (Old Oak) also spoke up.
Legend said this stone was formed from the immortal qi emitted when immortals ascended. It was ideal for refining high-grade treasures, especially flying swords. Naturally, it was also excellent for crafting top-quality elixirs or tools.
Clearly, there was great interest in the Potion Hall.
Yi Tianxing himself was interested but did not make an offer. This was a free auction—he couldn't bid on everything. Letting others obtain treasures helped establish the importance and fairness of the auction house. After all, truly valuable gains came when everyone benefited.
More importantly, Da Yi didn't currently have any top-tier potion masters. This treasure wasn't urgent for him. There would be future chances to acquire it.
"I choose the Nine-Tribulation Thunder Pattern Wood."
Tian Can considered briefly, then traded with Teng. The deal was completed smoothly—no tricks, no fuss.
"Reverse Scale Annihilation Pearls. Formed from the reverse scales of dragons, these pearls seal within them a top-tier dragon divine ability. Once released, they unleash world-shattering destructive power—fierce, unstoppable. There are nine in total. They can protect you at critical moments. When nourished over time, their destructive potential can grow stronger alongside your cultivation."
Blood Dragon stepped forward, a vicious glint in his eye.
He wasn't an ordinary dragon—he was a reverse-bloodline mutant, born a Blood Moon Evil Dragon. At birth, he had unleashed a catastrophic disaster, slaughtering tens of thousands of living beings—including dragons.
His goal had been to sacrifice blood to the Moon Spirit, drawing on the power of the Blood Moon to transform his body. With each ritual, he evolved mysteriously. According to legend, after nine blood sacrifices, he could become the Progenitor of the Blood Moon Evil Dragons, on par with Ancestral Dragons.
Unfortunately, he was defeated during one such sacrifice, besieged even by the dragon race—because he used pure dragon blood for his rituals. That betrayal could not be tolerated.
He was eventually imprisoned deep beneath the ocean trench, never to escape.
The dragons he slaughtered left behind their reverse scales, which he used to forge these pearls by extracting their innate divine abilities, creating the Reverse Scale Annihilation Pearls. These pearls could rival the most powerful Heaven-and-Earth treasures.
As single-use divine weapons, each use consumes a pearl. That only made them more precious.
"I want treasures capable of breaking seals or enchantments—divine weapons or items with immense destructive power against restrictions. I'll accept partial trades or full sets. It depends on what you offer."
He was direct. What he truly wanted was freedom—tools that could break the seals binding him. That was his priority.
"I have a Breaking Seal Pearl. It can dissolve most restrictions in existence. I found it in an ancient ruin and used it to access multiple hidden realms. I've gotten many treasures from it."
Tian Can offered his bid, producing a golden orb pulsing with intricate runes.
"I have a weapon called the Void Shattering Knife. It can slice through restrictions and arrays, but it's damaged—only usable twice more before it breaks completely."
Gold Armored spoke next, revealing a golden flying knife covered in cracks.
"I have a treasure made by a Decomposer, called the Decomposition Blade. It disintegrates most substances on contact. I won't guarantee it works on everything, but it's incredibly effective in the right conditions."
Yi Tianxing also spoke up, holding a white jade dagger.This was a gift from a master Decomposer.
