Transmigrated To Ancient Time: Thrive With An Auction System!

Chapter 394: Newly Formed Mustard Seed World ( 4 )

After a moment of pause, the system continued, ”However, the more elements you possess, the more spells and cultivation techniques you can learn. Compared to you, your husband’s spiritual roots are actually inferior.”

”He can only cultivate lightning- and metal-type techniques. In the early stages, he may be stronger than you, but in the later stages, he won’t even compare to you.”

Hearing this explanation, Yao Zhi narrowed her eyes thoughtfully. ”System, you seem to know a lot about cultivation. Aren’t you supposed to be an auction system? Where did you learn all this?”

Silence followed her question. Just when she thought the System had gone offline again, it abruptly changed the subject.

”Host, do you still want the cultivation technique?”

”Of course I do!”

The next moment, a string of numbers appeared beneath a pair of ancient manuals on the blue screen.

”Host, you can obtain the Jin Gu and Lei Jing cultivation manuals for only 1,555,555 merit points!”

The moment Yao Zhi saw the number, she felt the System was mocking her. The repeated fives looked exactly like the endless crying sound, and she indeed felt like crying after seeing the price.

As if sensing her hesitation, the System hurriedly added, ”Host, this is the best deal available! Both cultivation manuals are Heavenly-grade techniques, equal in rank to your Yunfeng Sword Manual!”

”It’s too expensive,” Yao Zhi frowned.

Afraid that its Host would become stingy when it came to her husband, the System quickly said, ”Host, if you purchase the manuals now, you will also receive one of the Slaying Immortal Swords as a free gift!”

Yao Zhi shook her head and sighed. ”I already have a sword. I don’t need another one. Besides, I don’t even have enough merit points. I can’t afford it.”

”Then how about the Taiji Diagram or the Chaos Bell?”

Hearing those names, Yao Zhi’s heart skipped a beat.

If she remembered correctly, the Taiji Diagram and the Chaos Bell were two of the three supreme Primordial Treasures formed after the Pangu Axe split open chaos.

According to the legends, the axe blade became the Pangu Banner, the axe back became the Taiji Diagram, and the axe handle transformed into the Chaos Bell.

However, from the System’s words, it seemed the axe blade had instead become the Four Slaying Immortal Swords.

Suppressing her excitement, Yao Zhi casually asked, ”What use would those things have for me?”

”Host, aren’t you planning to set up a Qi Gathering Formation? If you use the Taiji Diagram, you can achieve twice the result with half the effort.”

”As for the Chaos Bell, it is generally used to suppress demons, ghosts, and evil entities. However, since this world can only be considered a newborn mustard seed world, its exact effects here remain unknown.”

Yao Zhi nodded thoughtfully before sighing again. ”The free gifts are barely acceptable, but I still don’t have enough merit points. I can’t afford the manuals.”

”Host, you can purchase them on credit and repay the debt after earning more merit points! If you miss this opportunity, you may never receive such a good deal again!”

The System was becoming anxious. These cultivation manuals and treasures had been secretly obtained from the highest cultivation world. If the Main System discovered this, it would definitely be punished.

But for its Host, it was willing to take the risk. After all, only Yao Zhi could help it continue upgrading and go to higher-ranking worlds.

Yao Zhi carefully weighed the pros and cons before finally agreeing. She truly needed both the cultivation techniques and the Taiji Diagram.

”I can buy them, but I want both gifts. Only children make choices.”

”Host, you can’t take both!”

”If I can’t take both, then I don’t want them.” Yao Zhi remained stubborn.

The System fell silent for a while before finally giving in.

”If you want both gifts, you must pay extra. 1,888,888 merit points. Not a single point less!”

The moment the system finished speaking, Yao Zhi immediately replied, ”Deal!”

The next instant, two cultivation manuals, a mysterious silver colored diagram forged from unknown material, and a small black bell appeared inside her System storage.

Glancing at her merit point balance, Yao Zhi felt her heart ache.

Negative 1,196,088 merit points.

Perhaps in the entire multiverse, she was the only person bold enough to owe her System such an enormous debt.

Since she had already bought the items, Yao Zhi no longer dwelt on the matter. She took out the manuals and called, ”Husband.”

Fu Chen’an turned toward her and asked, ”Wife, what’s wrong?”

Yao Zhi handed the manuals to him and said, ”I bought these cultivation manuals for you. This Jin Gu Manual focuses on the metal element, while this Lei Jing Manual focuses on the lightning element. You can take your time practicing them slowly.”

Staring at the manuals, Fu Chen’an was stunned.

He had thought his wife was merely speaking casually earlier. He never expected her to truly buy such precious cultivation manuals for him.

Looking at the ancient scripts written on the covers, his mind buzzed slightly. The characters were clearly the same unfamiliar scripts as before, yet now he somehow understood their meaning instinctively.

From this alone, he could already tell these were extraordinary treasures.

Instead of accepting the manuals immediately, he looked at his wife and asked seriously, ”Wife, what price did you pay for these manuals?”

Yao Zhi was caught off guard by his question. Usually, her husband accepted anything she gave him without hesitation.

”Why are you suddenly asking this?”

”These manuals are not ordinary techniques. You must have paid a huge price for them.”

Before she could respond, Fu Chen’an continued in a solemn voice, ”Wife, I don’t want you to place yourself in danger or sacrifice anything for my sake.”

”I am your husband. Protecting you is my duty, my responsibility, and also my right. If something bad happens to you because of me, I won’t be able to live peacefully for the rest of my life.”

Yao Zhi was stunned by his words, and it took her a moment to recover.
