Huo Ling'er had just received the Ancient Vermilion Bird Egg when a crack sounded from it.
A sharp little beak pecked at the eggshell, revealing a fiery red figure.
For avian ferocious beasts, the first living thing they see upon opening their eyes becomes their master.
The Vermilion Bird chick was no different; it only glanced at Huo Ling'er before becoming extremely affectionate with her.
The Vermilion Bird Venerable paused. "Very well, I was planning to give this Ancient Vermilion Bird Egg to Ling'er anyway, so she could absorb it and break through to the Spirit Transformation Realm! Since the Ancient Vermilion Bird has hatched and acknowledged Ling'er as its master, perhaps this is also Ling'er's opportunity!"
The Fire Emperor spoke, "As the daughter of the Fire Emperor, she naturally wouldn't owe anyone a favor. Since you gave Ling'er the Ancient Vermilion Bird Egg, then this Azure Dragon Vine seedling is yours!"
With a wave of the Fire Emperor's right hand, the small bottle on the auction stage flew towards Shi Teng.
A transparent container held a tiny vine, just sprouting, barely a seedling.
Shi Teng held up the small, transparent bottle between his thumbs, examining it carefully.
Looks like I've been had again.
Every day a different meal, a different meal every day! Absolutely can't pass up this chance to fleece the Fire Emperor!
"Ahem!"
Shi Teng cleared his throat lightly, then continued, "Great Fire Emperor, since you say your daughter, Huo Ling'er, doesn't owe anyone favors, this Ancient Vermilion Bird Egg is one of the four great primordial divine beasts.
Trading an Ancient Vermilion Bird Egg for a little bean sprout, I'm clearly at a disadvantage!"
"Bean sprout? Kid, this is a divine vine," Master Gu said, grinding his teeth in anger at Shi Teng.
The Fire Emperor spoke again, "Well, as the ruler of the Fire Nation, I can't let people think I'm taking advantage of a little kid!"
With a wave of his right hand, a white jade bottle flew towards Shi Teng!
"Inside are two drops of the Fountain of Immortality. That, along with the Azure Dragon Vine seedling you have, is about the same value as the Ancient Vermilion Bird Egg!"
The Fountain of Immortality!
The surrounding crowd was once again shocked. The Fire Emperor's出手, sure enough, was extraordinary! He actually gave away the Fountain of Immortality directly!
Shi Teng took the white jade bottle, a bit disdainfully, and said, "Two drops? You're a king, at least be a bit more generous, shouldn't you give a pound or so?"
"Cough, cough!"
The Fire Emperor couldn't help but cough lightly. The surrounding heads of the various clans all looked down on him. They didn't know which remote village this kid had crawled out of, but he didn't even know the Fountain of Immortality and wanted a pound of it!
The Fire Emperor raised his voice and said, "Boy, this is the Fountain of Immortality, its value far exceeds a million Fire Spirit Stones, and it's also incredibly rare. It contains powerful divine properties and life force, making it a treasure for vegetation.
"It can help the vegetation quickly recover its vitality!"
Shi Teng scratched the back of his head, looking a bit shy. "Alright then!"
This Fountain of Immortality contains immortal divinity, which should be helpful for Sister Willow Deity. I can save a drop for her!
Master Gu continued, "This Azure Dragon Vine seedling needs careful tending. If it's really handed over to this kid, it'll probably be ruined!"
Shi Teng snorted, "With me, Shi Teng, taking action, I can definitely nurture this Azure Dragon Vine seedling into a towering giant tree!"
Master Gu mocked again, "It's extremely difficult for this Azure Dragon Vine seedling to even grow to the size of an arm, let alone a towering giant tree."
"Just because others can't do it doesn't mean I, Shi Teng, can't!"
Along with Shi Teng's mental movement, a wisp of Azure Emperor Wood Sovereign Qi poured into the Azure Dragon Vine seedling.
The Azure Emperor Wood Sovereign Qi also has the effect of revitalizing and enlightening plants.
In a matter of moments,
the Azure Dragon Vine seedling began to grow rapidly, visible to the naked eye.
"This..."
Master Gu's face was filled with disbelief. "We at Yipin Tower have cultivated this Azure Dragon Vine seedling for ten years without any progress, yet it's grown so much in your hands!"
Shi Teng adjusted his hair and said proudly, "Perhaps it's because I'm so handsome!"
Everyone present couldn't help but want to jump up and beat this kid up.
He truly took shamelessness to the extreme.
Shi Teng once again poured Azure Emperor Wood Sovereign Qi into the Azure Dragon Vine seedling. The seedling, which had just grown a bit, actually burst through the small bottle and revealed itself.
It had grown from the size of a fingernail to the size of a finger, slowly emanating boundless vitality.
Even though it was only about the size of a thumb, it exuded a powerful life force!
Everyone was once again stunned, wondering if the thing would also recognize a master.
Master Gu looked at the Azure Dragon Vine seedling in Shi Teng's hand, his face filled with envy, and his heart felt very uncomfortable.
He had just watched with his own eyes, Shi Teng hadn't added any spiritual liquid, yet the Azure Dragon Vine seedling was growing rapidly.
It was definitely because Yipin Tower had cultivated it vigorously before, that it suddenly grew so fast.
The other family heads were even more filled with regret. If they had known, they would have made their move earlier, perhaps they could have truly awakened a powerful treasure technique passed down from their ancestors.
Watching the Azure Dragon Vine seedling grow rapidly, Shi Teng was also filled with anticipation.
He immediately and carefully poured a drop of the Fountain of Immortality into the Azure Dragon Vine.
A stream of pure wood-element spiritual energy filled the air.
The Azure Dragon Vine greedily absorbed the Fountain of Immortality. Under the influence of the Azure Emperor Wood Sovereign Qi, it began to grow wildly at a visible speed, soon becoming as thick as a palm.
This made everyone even more envious.
Zhao Wuji, the head of the Zhao Clan, spoke, "Little friend, judging by your attire, your ancestors were probably just wild men. Even if you can cultivate this Azure Dragon Vine seedling, it certainly won't awaken anything worthwhile. Don't waste this divine vine! Why not sell it to me? I'll offer a million Fire Spirit Stones!"
Hearing the Zhao Clan head's words, the other clan heads scrambled to compete.
The Song Clan head also chimed in, "That's right. We've heard that our Song Clan's ancestor was a peak Venerable Realm expert. If we activate the mark passed down by our ancestor, we might obtain a supreme great divine ability! Shi Teng, I'll offer a million Fire Spirit Stones, plus two young and beautiful maidservants. Sell the divine vine to me! If it can activate the great divine ability passed down by our Song Clan's ancestor, I can let you study it!"
The Chu Clan head also rushed to say, "Our Chu Clan's records state that our Chu Clan's ancestor was an Immortal King.
The Chu Clan is willing to offer one million five hundred thousand Fire Spirit Stones!"
The surrounding family heads began to discuss, starting to offer high prices to purchase the divine vine from Shi Teng.
It's not the thief you fear, but the one who has his eye on you.
Now that so many people knew he possessed the divine vine, leaving here would certainly invite a frenzy of抢.
The Wild Domain was vast and boundless. One couldn't be sure when a strong Array Formation Realm expert would suddenly appear from some hidden corner, killing and seizing the treasure!
Keeping it on his person was definitely unsafe, especially with that Master Gu, whose eyes were practically spitting fire.
Fortunately, the Fire Emperor, Vermilion Bird Venerable, and Huo Ling'er were here.
He figured they wouldn't dare to act recklessly.
Shi Teng took the Azure Dragon Vine to a corner, pricking his finger and dripping a drop of blood onto it.
The blood merged into the Azure Dragon Vine, and an ancient character immediately appeared on the leaves, dazzling and eye-catching.
