Transmigration: Children of The Plane

Spirit Cleansing Fruit

However, as soon as the window blocked outside vision, the smile on Huang Wei's face instantly disappeared and was taken over by a gruesome and ferocious expression.

"That slut! For three years, I have bootlicked, fawned, and even given her gifts, and yet she still gives me the cold shoulder!" Huang Wei growled out as his face contorted in rage.

"Young Master Huang, Master has told you before. That Li Mei girl is arrogant by nature and isn't going to be fooled by your sweet talk and smile. She'll only submit to you if you are superior to her in strength." Old Chen on the side couldn't help but say as he saw that Huang Wei was about to start destroying the booth.

"Fine! Doesn't she only have a High Yellow Martial Vein? I have one, too. Let's see who'll be stronger during the Hidden Dragon Rankings in 978!" Huang Wei shouted as he made a decision.

Old Chen, on the side, seemed to be released from a burden and looked a few years younger.

'Master, though it was for the wrong reasons, Young Master is finally on the right path.'

Ling Yun, not bothering to disturb the two teens, continued the auction.

"Young Miss Li has bid 430 Spirit Stones. Does anyone else have a bid?" Ling Yun announced.

But inwardly, Ling Yun thought that Li Mei had won and was about to slam her gavel, as the price that Li Mei gave out was already close to the retail price that Golden Hall Auction House estimated Fire Breath to be.

However, Xue Bai, seeing that every other competitor had given up, finally decided to jump in and steal Fire Breath.

"Xiao'er, you can toss out a bid. It doesn't matter which number it is." Xue Bai said as he chewed on a fruit that Golden Hall Auction House left on the table.

Xue Bai didn't want to bid for two main reasons. One, he still wanted to keep his voice hidden as he wasn't sure if anyone who knew his voice was present. And two, it was Xiao'er who wanted to attend this auction. So it would probably hurt the girl if Xue Bai stole her chance to bid.

"Young Master, you said any amount, right?" Xiao'er couldn't believe her ears.

Young Master was letting her squander money!

"As long as you don't blow our entire net worth, then yea, any amount. But try and make it reasonable, though." Xue Bai answered back with some suspicion in his tone.

As the only son of a Duke, Xue Bai was rich enough to drown people in Spirit Stones. And as the tycoon he was, Xue Bai had around 15000 Spirit Stones to his name.

'This girl can't be thinking of blowing all of our money, right?'

"550 Spirit Stones!" Xiao'er yelled out.

'Oh, if it's just that, then it's fine.' Xue Bai sighed inwardly.

Xue Bai was thinking that Xiao'er was going to spend more than a thousand. But since it was below 1000, it was fine.

However, unlike Xue Bai, the tycoon, the guests attending the auction in the crowd were stunned. 550 Spirit Stones was an astronomical amount to the rogue cultivators and Demonic Beast Hunters in attendance.

550 Spirit Stones was already enough to buy a Peak Yellow Grade Treasure, something made for only Domain Lord Realm cultivators. Though it would be one of the worst types of treasure in the Peak Yellow Grade, it was still something the attendants would never even dream of getting.

"So those are the tycoons in the VIP Booths then, huh? Spending 550 Spirit Stones like it were gold coins."

Nobody knew who said those words, but it managed to encase everybody in the crowd's thoughts perfectly.

Ling Yun, unlike the shock from the crowd, was feeling a tinge of excitement. As the host of the auction, Ling Yun would get a commission from any auction item that went over its retail price. And though Fire Breath was a High Yellow Grade Weapon that was close to Peak Yellow, it only had a retail price of about 450 Spirit Stones.

But now that Xiao'er went 100 Spirit Stones above the retail price, Ling Yun was able to get a huge chunk of commission from it.

"I see that a Nobel Guest in one of our VIP Booths has made the next bid! Doesn't anyone have a bid higher than 550 Spirit Stones?" Ling Yun shouted out.

But even after a minute of waiting, no one raised their voice. Whether it was the sky-high price or the possibility of offending the big shot in the VIP booth, no one dared to bid.

Ling Yun noticed that, slammed her gavel, and announced that Xue Bai had won the sword.

"The Noble Guest in our VIP Booth has won this yet-to-be-named sword! Now onto the next item!" Ling Yun spoke.

After Fire Breath, the auction continued on smoothly as any normal auction would. But unfortunately, the items being sold didn't catch Xue Bai's interest. They were either something he could get from his father, or he disdained them.

After all, not every item could be as special as Fire Breath. Some items were even as low as the Low Yellow Grade, while most of the items that were being sold were of the Middle Yellow Grade.

The only thing that caught Xue Bai's attention was a bottle of High Yellow Grade Soul Stabilizing Pills. But it was not because of its rarity, as Xue Bai had already eaten his fill of Soul Stabilizing Pills, but because Zhou Beizhan had made this batch of pills.

Looking at it from afar, Xue Bai could see that the pill had almost reached a Pseudo-Perfection Grade in purity.

Pills in the Baishen Plane were divided into 5 main tiers of purity. Waste Grade, which was 15% and below. Low Grade, which was 30% and below. Mid Grade, which was 50% and below. High Grade, which was 80% and below. Pseudo-Perfection Grade, which was 90% and below, and finally, Perfection Grade, which was anything below 99%.

A 100% purity pill was something that was only talked about in legends, as to create a pill with absolutely no impurities was unfathomable. After all, every single herb in the Baishen Plane had at least some impurities. Even if it were a Lotus Treasure, eating too many would still cause impurities to build up.

So how could you purify something that was created by something with impurities?

On the Southern Continent, anything in the Mid Grade was seen as the standard, while High-Grade pills were the sign of an experienced Alchemist. Pseudo-Perfection Grade Pills were hard to find. In order to create them, you had to fully understand a Pill, from the creation process and each of its ingredients. On the Southern Continent where Xue Bai lived, only a handful of renowned alchemists could create pills of that grade,

And finally, Perfection Grade pills were only from the Central Continent. As any alchemist who could create pills of that grade was taken away by Central Continent forces for grooming.

Even Xue Bai's mother, Li Rou, was only able to make a batch of Perfection Grade pills once every few months. Yet now Zhou Beizhan was already at the barrier of being able to make Perfection Grade Pills.

No, Zhou Beizhan had most likely already passed it. If he hadn't passed the barrier, he would have kept these pills to himself to study with. As the pills in the bottle were at least 78% purity, if Zhou Beizhan could find one mistake in the creation process of that pill and fix it, creating a Perfection Grade pill would follow.

'I should tell Mother about this.' Xue Bai thought.

He knew about the awkward relationship between the two. With Zhou Beizhan's greed and desire to climb the hierarchy of the cultivation world and Li Rou's hatred of that, their relationship hadn't been good for decades.

However, that had nothing to do with Xue Bai. He was only a messenger.

After the pills, the items that followed didn't even make Xue Bai lift an eyebrow which continued until Ling Yun finally reached the last item of the auction.

"Finally, we are at the last item we will be auctioning off this evening! And I know this item is something that most of you all in the VIP Booths have been waiting for. So without wasting any time, I will bring it out." Ling Yun announced as she motioned for someone from behind the curtains to come out.

This time instead of a cart with a cloth on top that was pushed by a few people, only one person came out and the person held in his hands a simple case.

And after passing it over to Ling Yun with a bow, the attendant quickly left not to disturb the rest of the auction.

"Now, I know that the rumors might have seemed exaggerated, but our Golden Hall Auction House never lies about its wares. And in this case, it is the final auction item and the item that caused so much publicity for this auction. A Low Black Grade Natural Treasure that one of our hunting teams found!" Ling Yun shouted out with excitement.

"Here, in this case, a Spirit Cleansing Fruit. However, I know that most of you know its effects, but I'll explain it to those who don't. "

"Everyone here knows that the Houtian Great Realm is meant for nourishing the body, while the Xiantian Great Realm is meant for the soul. And this fruit right here can not only heal a soul injury, but it is also something that can help a Peak Domain Lord possibly step into the Xiantian Great Realm." Ling Yun lectured with excitement.

"As in order to speak into the Xiantian Great Realm, one needs to sense and awaken their soul. And this fruit is able to help you do that." Ling Yun finished.
