A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Immortal Realm

"That's very admirable of him," Han Li said, then injected his spiritual sense into the jade slip to discover that it contained over ten thousand auction items, along with their starting prices.

However, the order of the auction wasn't clearly laid out, but that was understandable. After all, having all of the information presented too comprehensively would ruin the fun.

With Han Li's tremendous spiritual sense, he was able to quickly memorize all of the auction items, and he had made a mental list of all of the auction items of interest.

"Where have you come from, and what are you planning to buy, Seniors? Are you preparing for Great Encompassment Stage breakthroughs?" Lan Mei asked.

"Both of us are vagrant cultivators who travel from place to place with no real home to speak of. As for what we're planning to buy, there's nothing specific that we have in mind, so we'll just have to see," Han Li replied in an ambiguous manner.

Lan Mei didn't pry any further, offering a bright smile as she said, "Our Sun Moon Pavilion is taking this auction very seriously, and we've prepared many exceptional items to suit a wide range of needs."

Han Li nodded in response, then asked some more questions about the auction, all of which Lan Mei was able to answer in a satisfactory manner.

Weeping Soul was rather displeased to see Han Li chatting so amicably with Lan Mei, and she pouted slightly in chagrin as she stoically ignored the two of them.

Before long, the two of them had been led to an independent room.

The room was only around twenty to thirty feet in size, and inside was a long bench and a white stone table, upon the latter of which were placed cups of spirit tea and bowls of immortal fruits.

The furnishings were quite minimalistic, but the entire place was very tidy, and there was a faint, soothing fragrance in the air.

The room was closed off on all sides with only a window on one wall, through which a giant plaza that was over ten kilometers in size could be seen. The plaza was stacked with countless seats, the majority of which had already been occupied.

There were also other VIP booths hovering in the air above the plaza alongside this one, and Han Li turned to Lan Mei as he said, "Alright, you can go now."

"If you need anything, just ring this bell," Lan Mei replied as she set a small bell onto the table, then departed from the booth.

Following her departure, Han Li swept a sleeve through the air to conjure up an azure light barrier that encompassed the entire room, following which he turned to Weeping Soul as he asked, "Why are you so quiet all of a sudden?"

"You were clearly thoroughly enjoying speaking to her, so a third wheel like me should just keep her mouth shut," Weeping Soul replied with more than a hint of passive-aggression in her voice.

"What are you talking about? I was just asking her some questions about the auction," Han Li said in an amused manner.

Weeping Soul's expression eased slightly upon hearing this, but she was clearly still not happy.

"Alright, we don't have time for this. The auction is about to begin, did any of the treasures in the jade slip catch your eye?" Han Li asked.

A hesitant look appeared on Weeping Soul's face upon hearing this, and she pointed out a pair of immortal treasures on the jade slip to Han Li as she replied, "I'm interested in these, but both of them have very high starting prices."

After examining the pair of immortal treasures that Weeping Soul had pointed out, Han Li said, "These two immortal treasures are indeed very suitable for you. Don't worry about the cost."

He had expended close to twenty million Immortal Origin Stones to power the Celestial Time Array, leaving roughly fifty million Immortal Origin Stones left. These two immortal treasures were definitely going to be very expensive, but the law powers that they contained were rather uncommon, so there most likely wasn't going to be much interest in them.

Having reached the Great Encompassment Stage, he wasn't going to be able to make any further breakthroughs in the near future. Hence, he had no use for the space of accelerated time, so he could dedicate these Immortal Origin Stones to another use.

"Thank you, Master!" Weeping Soul exclaimed with an ecstatic expression.

Right at this moment, an expression of intent was transmitted into Han Li's mind from the Essence Fire Child in the Flower Branch domain, requesting some fire-attribute materials to replenish itself. РＡ₦Ô฿ĚŠ

Han Li quickly transmitted an affirmative response to this request.

There were many materials on the auction list that fit the Essence Fire Child's needs, and they weren't very expensive, so he could easily purchase some.

Xiaobai was also yelling and whining in the Flower Branch domain, but instead of asking Han Li to purchase him any treasures, he was demanding to be let out to watch the auction.

Han Li could only inject a wisp of his spiritual sense into the Flower Branch domain to project the scene of the auction taking place outside.

Right at this moment, three loud gong strikes rang out, indicating the official commencement of the auction.

A portly elderly man with a wide face and a pair of large ears appeared on the auction platform amid a flash of red light.

Despite his unremarkable appearance, he was a mid-Great Encompassment cultivator, so he was certainly qualified to serve as the auctioneer.

"Today marks the commencement of our greater Golden Origin Immortal Region's highly anticipated Myriad Treasure Festival! Welcome to our Sun Moon Pavilion. I hope all of you can depart at the end of the auction with bountiful returns. Alright, that's enough from me, without further ado, here is the first auction item," the elderly man declared, and several armorclad guards carried a jade box onto the auction platform.

Inside the jade box was a millstone-sized yellow crystal with countless rays of yellow light swirling around it, giving off immense earth law power fluctuations.

The gravitational force near the auction platform was increased by several thousandfold as a result, making the jade box very difficult to carry for the armorclad guards.

"This Earth Emperor Crystal comes from the Vast Earth Immortal Region. It arose at an unfathomable depth beneath the ground and has been absorbing the essential energy of the earth for countless years, granting it more than enough powers to be used to refine even a fourth tier earth-attribute immortal treasure.

“The starting price is five million Immortal Origin Stones, and each bid must go up by an increment of at least a hundred thousand Immortal Origin Stones," the elderly man auctioneer introduced in a placid manner, making no attempt to praise the treasure, but that only made him seem more trustworthy and reliable.

As soon as his voice trailed off, the plaza immediately became abuzz with excited chatter.

Han Li's eyes also lit up slightly at the sight of the Earth Emperor Crystal.

Even though he had already spotted the item on the jade slip, it didn't have the same impact as seeing the actual item.

Earth Emperor Crystals were a supreme earth-attribute material equivalent to Heavenly Vajra Diamonds among metal-attribute materials, and it was the most sought after material for all cultivators of earth law powers.

On top of that, this Earth Emperor Crystal could be used to refine fourth tier immortal treasures.

Fifth tier immortal treasures weren't exactly common, but they weren't all that rare, either. Generally speaking, all Great Encompassment cultivators would be able to secure one with some effort or by incurring some financial cost. After all, as long as an immortal treasure was refined from decent materials, it could eventually be nurtured to the fifth tier over time.

This was what Han Li had done with his Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords.

However, that was not the case for fourth tier immortal treasures. There were extremely stringent material and skill requirements when it came to refining fourth tier immortal treasures, and it was said that completing refinement of such a treasure would even incur a treasure tribulation, the exact details of which weren't very clear to Han Li, but what he did know was that even though they were only separated by a single tier, fourth tier immortal treasures were vastly more powerful than their fifth tier counterparts.

Hence, fourth tier immortal treasures were extremely rare in the True Immortal Realm, even among True Immortal cultivators, so the value of this Earth Emperor Crystal could not be understated.

As expected of the Myriad Treasure Festival for such a precious material to be presented as the opening item.

Han Li had no need for the Earth Emperor Crystal, but many of the other auction-goers had begun eagerly bidding for it.

In the blink of an eye, the price elevated to beyond the ten million mark, and it was ultimately secured by a cultivator in a VIP booth for twelve million Immortal Origin Stones.

"The next item is a fifth tier fire dao pill..."

One extraordinary item after another was brought onto the stage, and the atmosphere in the auction venue was quickly heating up.

Even though the prices were very steep, many cultivators were willing to pay exorbitant sums for the items that they needed. After all, if they were to miss this opportunity, it was unclear when another chance would arise again.

Close to a day flew by in a flash, and Han Li hadn't placed a single bid during this time.

"Our next item is a fifth tier immortal treasure by the name of the Infernal Ghost Claw. It was forged from the claw of a Great Encompassment Stage Infernal Ghost Beast from the Infernal Sea Immortal Region, combined with countless malicious souls, eighteen types of ghostly blood and thirty-six types of ghostly qi before being forged in infernal flames for a million years.

“It contains tremendous yin ghost law powers and possesses extremely formidable penetrative and corrosive abilities."

The item in question was a black, nine-fingered claw that was around ten feet in size with a vast cloud of black qi swirling around it.
