The World Tree, another fragment appeared. To others, it was a piece of trash; without the Green Emperor Wood Sovereign Art, it could not be refined at all. But to Fang Han, it was an incomparable treasure, a supreme treasure that could produce massive resources every day! A fragment of the World Tree fully as tall as a person; Fang Han could not even imagine, after merging it into the World Tree sapling, how massive the immortal realm spiritual energy extracted would be, and how many tens of thousands of "Origin Infant Pills" could be refined in a day?
In the Great Xuan Empire, there was such an advantage; with a massive amount of medicinal pills, one could buy the items one desired. All kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures could be obtained without running around everywhere searching, fighting and killing, and exhausting one's heart's blood at all.
For the immortal and demonic paths in the world, and even the demon path, the thousands of independent cultivation sects, as long as they established a sect, they all needed massive amounts of medicinal pills.
To get massive amounts of medicinal pills, they had to take various treasures to the market of the Great Xuan Empire to exchange. Therefore, every day, who knows how many heavenly materials and earthly treasures rolled into the market of the Great Xuan Empire. The power gathered by these tens of millions of cultivators was something no one's fortuitous encounters could compare to.
Even if you had hundreds of millions of medicinal pills, buying a peerless-grade precious artifact like the "Five Hells Royal Cauldron" was not impossible.
Didn't you see that the Wilderness Great Emperor, one of the Seven Great Demonic Emperors of the Demonic Sect, came to exchange a peerless-grade precious artifact for medicinal pills? Experts of the Longevity Secret Realm also had to rely on the advantage of the "Tiandao Pavilion" to seek what they needed, let alone cultivators of the Divine Ability Secret Realm?
To speak the truth, Fang Han casually encountering the treasure selling convention of the "Tiandao Pavilion" this time was purely to take a look at what treasures were inside, without holding any expectations. To cultivate and elevate his realm, he had to find five elemental spiritual roots. But he absolutely did not expect that he would encounter a fragment of the World Tree! And such a large piece at that!
"Four hundred thousand!"
Fang Han unhesitatingly shouted out this number, while simultaneously looking over. He wanted to see who exactly was vying for this item with him. Logically speaking, even among the giant figures of eternity from the Longevity Secret Realm, not many people recognized the fragment of the "World Tree". Ordinary people had no need to waste a massive amount of medicinal pills to buy this useless thing.
Unless they had truly too many medicinal pills and just bought it back for collection.
In the VIP room competing with him was a middle-aged man wearing a white crane cloak and a star crown on his head, looking dignified and imposing. Seemingly sensing Fang Han looking at him, he waved his hand, and immediately a layer of mist surged up in that VIP room. No matter how Fang Han looked, he could no longer see.
"Five hundred thousand!"
Just as Fang Han wanted to shout out this number, he didn't expect that in an opposite VIP room, another person shouted out this price preemptively. The person in that VIP room was an old man, stroking a seven-inch long small sword in his hand, astute light flashing like electricity, his two eyes staring fixedly at that fragment of the "World Tree", his brows twitching slightly, not knowing if he was distinguishing the value of this item.
"Lu Mei, who are these two people?" Fang Han turned his finger, and a jade bottle appeared. The jade bottle contained dozens of crystal-clear, finger-sized infant-like medicinal pills, which he handed over to Lu Mei.
"Origin Infant Pills!" Lu Mei's face showed shock, but she subsequently calmed down and put away the jade bottle. "That middle-aged man is a cultivator from the Crystal Cave Heaven, and that old man is an elder of the Sun Moon Sword Sect. Both are senior experts at the Heavenly Human Realm or above."
"Six hundred thousand!"
Right at this moment, that young man in blue clothes called out a price. He obviously didn't know what that "nameless divine wood" actually was, but was just throwing money to buy it back to research it.
"Seventy hundred thousand!"
The red-clothed veiled woman's voice did not waver in the slightest, causing Fang Han's heart to chill.
"Eighty hundred thousand!" Fang Han waved his hand, his mood extremely nervous. His funds were not ample. Over two million medicinal pills seemed like a lot, but compared to some great tycoons of the cultivation world, it was not worth mentioning. Just looking at that red-clothed veiled woman proved it; buying the "Mountain God Pearl" with two point five million medicinal pills without even blinking an eye.
"Ninety hundred thousand!"
That middle-aged man wearing a crane cloak and star crown transmitted his words from the VIP room.
"One million!" Yet another dark horse charged out from out of nowhere. It transmitted from another VIP room. In his heart, Fang Han wished he could run over and kill all the people competing with him for this "World Tree" fragment, but he suppressed the furious fire in his heart. This "Tiandao Pavilion" was unfathomably deep, he could not commit murder and seize treasures inside. Let alone his cultivation, even the Longevity Secret Realm would probably have some misgivings. The backing of the "Tiandao Pavilion" was unfathomably deep!
The one who shouted the price of "one million" was an eerily demonic man with purplish-black hair, his body draped in a loosely fitting wide robe, holding a white scepter in his hand. The material seemed like ivory, yet also like rhinoceros horn, and even more like human bone. At this time, he stood straight, his eyes staring straight at the World Tree fragment. He shook his head, nodded, and then shook his head again.
"This fellow is secretive, I don't know what his origins are?" Fang Han thought to himself.
"This is also an independent cultivator, but of unknown origin," Lu Mei hurriedly said.
"One point one million!" Fang Han increased the price without any worry. Some cultivators below began to discuss animatedly, not expecting that a useless item could actually be sold for the price of a million spirit pills.
"Could it truly be a remnant fragment of an ancient Dao artifact?"
"I think in all likelihood it is! Otherwise the big shots in the VIP rooms above wouldn't vie for it like this."
"What a pity we don't have such grand wealth and imposing bearing, throwing around a million spirit pills at a time. Only experts of the Divine Ability Fifth Layer Heavenly Human Realm, who can lay out great arrays and rhythmically forge spirit artifacts for sale, can earn big money. Any random material, once a great array is refined into it, immediately becomes a hundred times more valuable. Heavenly Human Realm experts are indeed formidable."
…
"One point two million!" That eerily demonic man holding the scepter called a price again, making Fang Han lightly grind his teeth.
"Fang Han, that man is a Great Heavenly Demon King! His magic power is extremely high, I'm afraid he has already successfully refined a Heavenly Demon Golden Core, or perhaps even stronger!" Yan spoke up to remind him: "However, since he is not a Demon God, he presumably won't recognize the World Tree fragment. Even a Nine Yin Demon God or Nine Yang Demon God couldn't possibly recognize it, unless it's that kind of extremely ancient primeval Heavenly Demon God. But those primeval Heavenly Demon Gods are all experts at the Eightieth or Ninetieth Layer of the Longevity Secret Realm. Descending to the Profound Yellow Great World would cause a sensation…"
"One point three million!" Fang Han ignored Yan's words, determined to win.
"One point five million!" Almost right after Fang Han's words fell, the red-clothed veiled woman called out a price, directly adding two hundred thousand. It was also an appearance of being determined to win, which made Fang Han unable to figure out her bottom line.
"Two million!" Fang Han gritted his teeth and fiercely increased the price by five hundred thousand! This was also burning his bridges, a do-or-die struggle.
Sure enough, his price increase to two million immediately shocked the several competing people! The old man of the Sun Moon Sword Sect looked at Fang Han in surprise, shook his head, and actually gave up. That blue-clothed youth also felt two million medicinal pills was truly too high a price, and also gave up bidding.
However, that middle-aged man wearing the crane cloak and star crown from the Crystal Cave Heaven just added one more phrase, "Two point one million!"
That man holding the scepter, suspected to be a Great Heavenly Demon King, shook his head and did not add more.
"Two point five million!" The red-clothed veiled woman still spoke sedately, shouting out an astronomical price, her face not changing color and her heart not skipping a beat. She seemed to know that this was Fang Han's limit.
"Three million!" Fang Han's two fists clenched, creaking sounds echoing. With a ferocious face, he slowly spat out these words. This even made Thirteenth Dame surprised for a moment, because she knew that Fang Han did not seem to have that many medicinal pills on him.
"Senior! You!" Lu Mei knew that Fang Han's total assets on him were only two point three million medicinal pills.
"Don't panic! I still have a massive amount of Origin Infant Pills on me! As well as a few treasures! It will absolutely not be less than three million medicinal pills!" Fang Han said fiercely. He indeed still had over ten thousand Origin Infant Pills on him; converted to "White Yang Pills", it was an ironclad one million-plus. Thus, he could bring out three million medicinal pills.
No one could have expected that an unknown piece of wood could actually be sold for the astronomical price of three million medicinal pills.
"Mm?" Seeing Fang Han shout the price of three million medicinal pills, the veil of that red-clothed veiled woman from the Linglong Blessed Land seemed to move a bit, seemingly hesitating about something, and ultimately did not shout out a higher price.
"Phew…" Fang Han let out a heavy sigh of relief. He knew there was not a single person present who knew their goods. If there truly were people who knew the goods, he absolutely would not have been able to buy this precious fragment.
Even taking out a Dao artifact to exchange for this fragment would be worth it!
Before long, that Thirteenth Dame led people to bring this piece of "nameless divine wood" over a person's height into the VIP room and placed it in front of Fang Han. And Fang Han still returned the two point three million crystal card back to Thirteenth Dame, and additionally brought out fully seven thousand Origin Infant Pills, filling seven or eight large gourds.
Seeing that Fang Han could bring out so many "Origin Infant Pills", Thirteenth Dame and the others exchanged a glance, extremely surprised. Logically speaking, even a true legacy disciple of the Taiyi Sect could not possibly carry so many "Origin Infant Pills" with them.
Fang Han did not pay attention to the surprised looks of these people. He directly waved his hand, and a burst of mirage energy wrapped up this massive fragment, which immediately vanished without a trace, actually being pulled directly into the "Yellow Spring Diagram" to let the Yellow Spring Holy Water wash away some of the filth and messy mental remnants inside it.
The World Tree had been shattered for who knows how long, and those fragments were all tainted with the filthy auras between heaven and earth. They must be washed with the Forgetfulness Water; this was also one reason why many experts could not refine it.
The Forgetfulness Water, the Green Emperor Wood Sovereign Art, pure Yang immortal energy… various conditions had to be met to make the World Tree radiate anew and produce tender buds. After Fang Han washed it with the Forgetfulness Water, the center of his brow moved slightly. That World Tree sapling seemed to sense the same kind of vitality. Suddenly, infinite roots pierced into this massive fragment.
Crack crack…
This massive fragment fiercely transformed into a large expanse of chaos-colored wood energy, which was absorbed by the root system of the sapling. The two completely merged into one.
Instantly, the sapling in the center of Fang Han's brow expanded fiercely!
Originally, no matter what, this sapling wouldn't grow; even in ten thousand years, it couldn't be expected to grow an inch taller. But after absorbing the fragment of the same origin, it grew madly. Fang Han immediately felt that endless and boundless immortal realm spiritual energy poured down, over a hundred times more fiercely than before!
He hurriedly made a reception, sending the massive amount of immortal realm spiritual energy into the Yellow Spring Diagram!
