Doupo: Marry a Young Doctor and Be Rewarded with Douhuang Cultivation

177: The last remaining picture of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire!”Now, let’s begin the auction for the first item of this Void Realm trade fair.”

Old Man Baoshan gently swiped his palm across the Void Realm in front of him, and from the distorted spatial wall, a pair of bone wings, stark white, slowly emerged. Between the patterns on the wings, the sound of wind and thunder faintly circulated. As soon as they appeared, they drew the gaze of many people in the hall.

Xiao Yan stared at the familiar bone wings and was immediately stunned, then his expression turned strange.

He himself possessed a pair of Demonic Phoenix Wings and knew how much the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan valued the corpses and Bloodline of their clansmen. Once they discovered outsiders using them privately, they would surely be besieged. He hadn’t expected this trade fair to dare openly auction such an item.

”It seems the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan has also suffered many covert attacks. After all, their entire body is a treasure, so it’s inevitable that others would covet it.”

Xiao Yan muttered to himself in a low voice, but he had no intention of competing for it, as he already possessed a similar treasure.

Xiao Ze glanced at the Demonic Phoenix Wings, then withdrew his gaze.

Such bone wings, capable of increasing speed, were useless to him, a Seven Star Dou Saint. He only occasionally turned his head to meet Cai Lin’s gaze, and seeing that she also had no interest, he continued to maintain his composed demeanor.

”Demonic Phoenix Wings. When refined into a flying Dou Skill, they can make one’s speed unrivaled among those of the same rank, truly essential for killing or escaping,” Old Man Baoshan introduced with a smile, completely unafraid of offending the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan.

”The owner wishes to exchange it for an Eighth Grade Medicinal Pill that has experienced a four-colored Pill Thunder. Those interested, please make your bids.”

The hall fell into a brief silence. Approximately five minutes later, a hoarse voice rang out: ”I’ll take it.”

A dark figure tossed out a jade bottle. Old Man Baoshan caught it and inspected it. Seeing that the Medicinal Pill in the bottle had a rich spiritual glow and was indeed of four-colored Pill Thunder quality, he asked, ”Does anyone have a higher bid?”

No one responded from around.

Although the Demonic Phoenix Wings were good, the original owner’s strength was only that of a Six Star Dou Zun. Exchanging it for an Eighth Grade Medicinal Pill of four-colored Pill Thunder was already the limit; any higher would not be worth it.

Seeing this, Old Man Baoshan flicked the Demonic Phoenix Wings to the dark figure, and the first transaction was smoothly completed.

”This place is different from ordinary auctions; no one is willing to exchange something far exceeding its value.”

Yao Lao explained to Xiao Yan in a low voice.

Xiao Yan nodded. He could tell that many people in the hall could offer a higher price, but they were all calm enough.

Immediately after, the second auction item appeared.

A pale golden scroll, inscribed with the four ancient characters ”Vajra Glazed Body.”

”A Heaven Rank Low Grade Dou Skill, created by the Glazed Saint a thousand years ago. Cultivating it to the Peak can make one’s physical body impervious, with integrated offense and defense.”

Old Man Baoshan’s voice rose a few points, ”The owner wishes to exchange it for a Heaven Rank Low Grade Water element Cultivation Technique, or Medicinal Pills of equivalent value.”

As soon as these words were spoken, there was immediate movement in the hall.

Four people successively tossed out pale blue scrolls, all of which were Heaven Rank Low Grade Water element Cultivation Techniques.

Xiao Yan looked at this scene, his heart filled with emotion.

Back then, he had fought desperately for a Heaven Rank Dou Skill, but now, Heaven Rank Cultivation Techniques here had become common exchange items. Indeed, different levels lead to different perspectives.

Old Man Baoshan inspected the four Cultivation Techniques one by one. After closing his eyes for a moment, he flicked three of them back to their original owners, keeping only one: ”The owner of the incomplete skill has chosen this scroll; the Dou Skill is yours.” The three who were not chosen snorted lightly but dared not cause trouble and could only give up.

In the subsequent transactions, the auction items became increasingly stunning.

There were ancient armors that could amplify Dou Technique, Spirit Medicine over ten thousand years old, and extraterrestrial meteor iron that could forge Divine Artifacts. Each item, if found outside, would be enough to cause a bloodbath, and the atmosphere in the hall became increasingly fervent.

Xiao Yan was dazzled but never made a move. Firstly, many of the auction items were of little use to him, and secondly, the exchange items requested by the other party were too demanding.

It wasn’t until a dark black scroll appeared that Old Man Baoshan introduced: ”’Heavenly Nether Poison Canon,’ written by the Heavenly Nether Poison Saint a thousand years ago, records the methods for refining dozens of strange poisons that can harm Dou Zuns. It’s an unconventional but extremely powerful skill!”

A look of longing instantly flashed in Xiao Yi Xian’s eyes.

She primarily Cultivated poison techniques, and this poison canon was a supreme treasure to her, but due to her identity, she dared not speak rashly.

Xiao Ze saw her expression. Before anyone else could bid, he slowly raised his hand: ”Two Eighth Grade Medicinal Pills of five-colored Pill Thunder for this poison canon.”

His voice wasn’t loud, but it carried an invisible pressure. The people in the hall who had been eager to move instantly fell silent.

Old Man Baoshan took the Medicinal Pills and inspected them. Seeing that the quality far exceeded expectations, he immediately smiled and said, ”This friend’s bid is reasonable; the poison canon is yours.”

Xiao Yi Xian took the poison canon Xiao Ze handed her, thanked him softly, her eyes full of gratitude.

Xiao Ze nodded slightly, his gaze returning to the hall, his patience growing even thicker.

He knew that the most important auction item was about to appear.

As item after item was sold, Xiao Yan also started to feel anxious for Xiao Ze.

The Purification Lotus Demon Flame remnant map still hadn’t appeared.

Finally, Old Man Baoshan picked up an old, yellowed piece of parchment, his fingertips gently brushing away the dust from its surface: ”Next, is the second to last auction item—a remnant map related to the legendary Purification Lotus Demon Flame.”

”It’s here!”

Xiao Yan suddenly looked up, subconsciously glancing at Xiao Ze.

He saw Xiao Ze’s body, which had been lazily leaning on the stone chair, instantly straighten. The subtle pressure around him quietly condensed, and his gaze was fixed intently on the remnant map, even his breathing became a little heavier than before.

For this remnant map, he had collected the other three scrolls for several years. Now, he had finally waited for the last ”puzzle piece.” This concerned whether he could use the power of the Purification Lotus Demon Flame to Breakthrough to Eight Star Dou Saint, and even more, it concerned his confidence to confront the Hall of Souls in the future.

Everyone’s gaze in the hall instantly focused on the remnant map. Even the previously lazy dark figures all sat up straight.

The Purification Lotus Demon Flame, ranked third on the Heavenly Flame Ranking, was an ultimate power that could destroy heaven and earth. Even just a remnant map related to it was enough to drive top-tier powerhouses mad.

Looking at the silent hall, Old Man Baoshan stroked his beard and smiled.

He had long anticipated the allure of the Purification Lotus Demon Flame, which was why he specifically saved the remnant map for this climactic moment.

One by one, fervent gazes in the hall locked onto that yellowed parchment. Even if it was just a fragment related to the Demonic Flame, it was enough to drive top-tier powerhouses mad. After all, if one could use it to find the Demonic Flame, it would be equivalent to grasping the power to destroy heaven and earth.

”The owner of the remnant map wishes to exchange it for Eighth Grade Medicinal Pills of six-colored Pill Thunder or above, with no limit on quantity. Let the bidding begin.” As soon as Old Man Baoshan’s words fell, a hoarse voice was the first to ring out: ”Three Eighth Grade Medicinal Pills of six-colored Pill Thunder!”

”Four!”

”Five!”

Bids rose one after another. In less than two minutes, the price soared to nine six-colored Pill Thunder Medicinal Pills.

Xiao Yan’s brows were tightly furrowed. Although he knew the Demonic Flame was precious, he hadn’t expected the remnant map to incite such fervor.

Xiao Ze, however, remained seated on the stone chair, his fingertips gently caressing his storage ring, his gaze calmly sweeping over the bidders.

These bids were still far from his bottom line.

”Five Eighth Grade Medicinal Pills of seven-colored Pill Thunder!”

A furious roar broke the brief silence. This was already far beyond the value of the remnant map itself, and the hall instantly fell silent.

But before Old Man Baoshan could speak, another aged voice came out: ”Eight.”

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, and it was none other than Yao Lao, who was with Xiao Ze.

The person who had just shouted snorted coldly and gritted his teeth: ”One Eighth Grade Medicinal Pill of eight-colored Pill Thunder!”

An eight-colored Pill Thunder Medicinal Pill was already a top-tier existence among Eighth Grade Medicinal Pills. A low murmur of commotion arose in the hall, and many people’s eyes gleamed with envy.

Just as Yao Lao was about to continue bidding, Xiao Ze gently pressed his arm and said faintly, ”No need. Leave the rest to me.”
