Chapter 357: The Crimson Earth Auction

At that moment, the two of them had rather complicated expressions. The corner of Fu Young’s mouth twitched before he asked with an helpless smile, "Master, can you tell me now why this thing is a trap? I don’t want to accidentally get scammed by it."

"Uh... I’ve seen records about this Myriad Koi Pearl. The golden koi inside doesn’t actually contain any flood dragon or True Dragon blood essence. Instead, the moment someone catches it, it will teleport that person to a very strange world."

Feeling that his secret identity was almost completely exposed, Xiao Shou gave Fu Young an ingratiating smile.

Hearing his master’s explanation, Fu Young immediately understood that Xiao Shou was worried the Ten Thousand Wisdom Hall might be able to monitor their conversation inside the private room.

Given his intelligence, he quickly realized that the so called "records" Xiao Shou mentioned were probably something he had read in a book.

Naturally, he became interested.

"A strange world? What makes it strange? Master, tell me about it."

"Mhm! Sure!" Xiao Shou nodded and told Fu Young everything he knew about the Myriad Gods Realm.

Only after listening did Fu Young learn that the Myriad Gods Realm was a world where all laws and techniques were forbidden, with only the Divine Path remaining.

The people of that world cultivated only the Divine Path. They nourished their gods with thoughts of loyalty, faith, and devotion.

In return, the gods protected their believers and ensured their survival and safety.

The believers offered their lifespans, the vitality of their bodies, and even their eyes, ears, noses, mouths, hands, feet, and other physical aspects to the gods.

In exchange, the gods granted their believers powerful abilities.

After hearing all this, Fu Young developed a strange suspicion.

The power system of the Myriad Gods Realm seemed remarkably similar to the Divine Technique he had derived from his bloodline, the Myriad Laws Forbidden ability.

Then he remembered what he had learned from searching the soul of the Ao Family Patriarch.

His instincts told him that the Myriad Gods Realm might be connected to his origins. Perhaps if he went to that world, he would finally be able to discover exactly who he really was.

Could it be Supreme Lord, or perhaps merely an ordinary person who had obtained eighty or ninety percent of Supreme Lord’s power?

Thinking this, Fu Young calmly put away the Myriad Koi Pearl. To divert Xiao Shou’s attention, he casually said, "It really is quite strange. Oh! The Crimson Earth is being brought out!"

"The third to last auction item is called Crimson Earth. Although its name contains the word ’earth,’ it actually has nothing to do with soil. And don’t be fooled by its unimpressive appearance. Its abilities are extremely powerful. It can decompose all things and transform them into vitality..."

The auctioneer introduced it in an entertaining manner while the assistants beside him demonstrated its abilities.

Everyone watched as the assistants poured spirit stone fragments, wood, and even rocks and soil into the small piece of Crimson Earth.

The Crimson Earth slowly emitted a faint red glow and everything touched by the red light immediately began to dissolve. However, the process was rather slow.

After waiting for roughly fifteen minutes, all the miscellaneous materials had completely dissolved and disappeared.

At the same time, the color of the Crimson Earth became slightly deeper, changing from a pale blood red to a more vivid crimson.

At this moment, one of the assistants brought over a Crimson Moon Bunny.

It was the kind of small, adorable spirit beast that female cultivators often liked to keep as a pet. It was delicate enough to hold in one hand and had an especially cute appearance.

The assistant casually severed all four of its limbs before throwing it into the Crimson Earth.

Immediately, an unbelievable scene appeared.

The Crimson Earth began emitting a faint white light that flowed into the Crimson Moon Bunny’s body.

The injured rabbit, which had been suffering in pain, revealed a comfortable expression after absorbing the white light and its four severed limbs rapidly regenerated.

At the same time, the color of the Crimson Earth became slightly lighter again.

After the demonstration was complete, the assistants removed the Crimson Moon Bunny and the other materials.

The auctioneer then continued his passionate explanation of the Crimson Earth’s benefits. "This Crimson Earth can absorb and dissolve all kinds of substances, then transform them into vitality that can be transferred to living creatures. With this treasure, injuries to the limbs and internal organs are no longer a concern!"

"This is essentially a chance to obtain an endless supply of Creation Pills without having to pay the enormous price normally required for such treasures!"

"Guests, what are you waiting for? Enter your bids!"

"The starting price for this treasure is five hundred thousand top grade spirit stones. Anyone interested, please enter your price..."

Fu Young’s mouth twitched as he watched the scene.

At this moment, he suddenly found himself strongly hoping that he had nothing to do with that Supreme Lord.

If he really was Supreme Lord, then his scattered true body fragments had apparently been repurposed for all kinds of things.

The Fate Devouring Array was one example and this Crimson Earth was another. Both of them were basically being used as garbage disposal sites.

Just thinking about how many kinds of trash his fragments had probably processed made him feel a little sick.

His anticipation of recovering the Crimson Earth immediately turned into the thought of simply ignoring it and giving up.

Even when he placed his bids, he did so reluctantly.

He had none of the enthusiasm or determination Xiao Shou had shown earlier when bidding for something he wanted.

Because of Fu Young’s half hearted participation, the competition outside became extremely intense.

Inside the private room, he and Xiao Shou could hear the auctioneer calling out one bid after another.

Finally, the auctioneer shouted, "Guest in Seat One Hundred Twenty One bids two million six hundred thousand top grade spirit stones! Does anyone wish to raise the bid?"
