Forging Immortality through the Dao Seed

"Wuxu 003, 550 billion!"

"Xinsi 007, 590 billion!"

"..."

The old man's face flushed with excitement, his shouting almost continuous, the immortal light pouring in like a tide, threatening to engulf him.

In just a short moment, the bid rose to 600 billion!

This was also the only item in the entire auction phase, up to this point, that surpassed a fortune of 600 billion.

Even so, the immortal light from various rooms didn't diminish in the slightest, with bids still updating at a terrifying pace.

700 billion!

800 billion!

In this moment, even the old man, who had presided over countless treasure auctions at the Auction Field of All Worlds, could not help but feel a slight boiling in his emotions.

He had auctioned off treasures of the same value before, even those worth several trillions that were even more precious, but none had ever been as frenzied as this.

900 billion!

910 billion!

...

...

"It seems the price is about to settle around 1 trillion."

Looking at the slowing pace of the bids, Zhang Jing thought to himself, his eyes flashing with an unmistakable shock.

Over 900 billion!

He truly hadn't anticipated this price.

Although Zhang Jing knew that the reference price was not accurate, he hadn't expected it to be this far off, even though this auction was for ten strands of innate purple qi bundled together.

After all, his original estimate for the final transaction price was around 700 billion.

The gap between...

Clearly.

The reason for the high premium was partly due to the powerful effect of innate purple qi for those in the Unity Realm Stage and partly because of the scarcity of innate purple qi.

After all, according to common sense, those capable of obtaining innate purple qi had cultivation levels at least of a Harmonized Dao True Immortal, and there wouldn't be any cultivator at the Unity Realm Stage who would find themselves with too much innate purple qi.

His thoughts shifted.

Zhang Jing instantly understood the reasoning and couldn't help but think somewhat ruefully:

"Isn't this to my advantage? A strand of acquired purple qi along with a little virtue can be converted into a trace of innate purple qi worth hundreds of billions through the Jade Talisman."

"In this process, the acquired purple qi can essentially be considered a cost-free transaction, and my friend from Thick Earth could refine a strand every ten days, whereas a little virtue is worth no more than a hundred billion in fortune."

"Ten times the profit!"

A barely concealable excitement shone in Zhang Jing's eyes.

From this moment on, wouldn't fortune be at my beck and call? And the power of fortune can be transformed by the Jade Talisman into virtue and the universal experience representing the Origin Power of the world.

What does this mean—

An inexhaustible supply of universal experience means unrestricted and rapid level-ups!

The visage of a Heavenly True Monarch with boundless lifespan and the freedom to wander all worlds was now within reach, practically touchable.

And the unending virtue.

Just thinking about the extravagant scene of his thirty-six spiritual bodies each wielding an innate Spiritual Treasure made the corners of Zhang Jing's mouth curl uncontrollably, unable to be suppressed.

The image was simply too wonderful for words.

Unsure how much time had passed.

As if realizing something, Zhang Jing's expression turned solemn.

"Low profile! Low profile!"

He warned himself over and over again in his mind.

Until he had sufficient self-preservation strength, he must conduct himself discreetly.

If his ability to reverse innate qualities became known, even someone as powerful as his master, even with the addition of Teacher Seven Desires, might not be able to protect him.

On the other hand.

"Bingzi 003, 1 trillion and 30 billion, is there anyone willing to bid higher?"

The old man's hoarse voice looked ahead, his burning gaze seeming to pierce directly into every room's guests.

"Three!"

"Two!"

"One!"

Amidst the countdown, he slowly brought down his auction hammer.

Meanwhile.

In room Jia 001.

"Auntie, are you sure we shouldn't continue bidding?"

A handsome young man turned to look at the enchanting woman behind him, asking cautiously.

"No need, the innate purple qi is indeed precious, but the price has pretty much peaked; continuing to bid wouldn't make much sense."

The enchanting woman covered her red lips lightly with her slender hand, yawning out of boredom, her chest subtly heaving, revealing a breathtaking curve.

"Understood."

The young man hurriedly bowed his head, as if the enchanting sight was some terrifying beast.

Similar voices rang out in the other rooms.

Clearly, this price had reached the bottom line of most people's hearts; it wasn't that they couldn't afford more, but that it might not be worth it.

However, this varied from person to person.

At this very moment.

In room Bingzi 003.

The lean man ignored Qu Junhou beside him and slammed himself onto the backrest of the seat behind him, his mouth splitting into a silent laughter,

In front of him.

A ripple appeared in the void, and a Liuli Bottle slowly floated out, it containing ten strands of innate purple qi, looking incredibly magnificent.

"I've finally got it in my hands!"

The lean man let out a breath of relief, his face flashing with an uncontrollable excitement.

With his current cultivation having reached the pinnacle, these strands of innate purple qi would allow him to confidently go into seclusion and attempt to step into the much-revered first transformation of Combining Dao—the Feathering State.

Afterward.

As if considering something, the man pondered to himself:

"Since I'm about to breakthrough, I must make full preparations and succeed in one go! I also have a high-grade innate divine item, Jumu Qingzhi, which I can capitalize on this opportunity to see if I can exchange for several Taiyuan Golden Fairy Pills."
