Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy-Novel



Alex thought for a moment as he looked at the fan with the 9 different cloud patterns in front of him. 

"This is a good treasure, isn't it?" he asked.

"Quite great," Yao Ning said, looking at the fan herself. "Quite useless for me, but for others it would be very useful."

"Yes," Liang Shufen said. "I can make good use of it."

"I can make use of it too if brother manages to make the pill that improves Wood spiritual roots," Pearl said.

"Me too," Whisker said excitedly. 

The bid for the treasure began at 7000 Saint Spiritual stones and everyone bid on it to make it their own.

No one would ever buy the fan if all it did was some wind attack. However, since it released Wind with the aura of Dao of Wind, it made it so much easier for others to learn the Wind Dao.

As of yet, there was only 2 ways to learn the Wind Dao for anyone.

First, the hard way. They would have to try and understand the wind aura by being in places with either Wind with wood energy, or just in places with a breeze.

This would normally take decades for someone to even glimpse the smallest truth about the wind and would have to spend centuries to try and learn enough of the mysteries behind the wind to finally get some help from the Heavens to finish learning the Dao.

The second method was to visit the Boundless Enlightenment Domain and try to learn about Wind Dao from there. This was easier than doing it all on your own, but depending on a person's talent, it could still take them years to learn the Dao and one would only have so much money for it.

Also, the Boundless Enlightenment Domain was expensive because of all the treasures it hold. If one could just take out the Wind treasure, it would cost so much less.

Which was what the Fan was.

A Wind treasure designed to provide the aura of Wind Dao for people to learn from it. This was no different than having something from the Enlightenment domain for oneself, and many of their friends and families to use.

Alex bid on it hard. He had a daughter with a Wind-based physique and it was very important for him to gain this fan. He also wanted it for himself, so money was no longer of any concern to him at all.

The bid increased by a lot, going into 15000 Saint Spirit stones for the first time in the entire auction. They had touched such a high price and they were going beyond.

15200

15300

15500

15800

16000

The number on the screen flipped one after another, showing just how much people still wanted it.

Alex kept going for a while until it got close to 20 thousand.

"Should we still get it?" the elders asked.

Alex thought for a bit and nodded. "We should definitely get it," he said and made the bid.

20000.

The number stopped there for a moment before flipping through to 20100. Alex flipped it to 20200. The number stopped moving again and Alex felt the hesitation of the other buyer.

The number changed to 20300 and immediately changed to 20400. Alex kept going without stopping.

The other person waited a while longer than Alex thought and when he waited too long, the bidding ended.

Alex bought the Nine Clouds Wind fan for 20 thousand and 4 hundred Saint Spirits stones.

"We paid a bit too much, your majesty," Yao Ning said.

Alex hesitated a bit and nodded. "We indeed paid a bit too much for it," he said. "But it is worth it."

Yao Ning couldn't argue there.

The auction continued and more items were continued to be shown. Over half a month had already passed by now, and it had even been a few days into the other half.

On the 22nd day of the auction, Alex bought the Voidsand Hourglass. It was an hourglass to tell time by watching the black sand inside flow through the hourglass.

It wasn't any normal powder either. The Voidsand were powder made from pulverizing extremely rare pieces of stones known as Voidstone. It was something that existed by absorbing the void aura that flew out of a voidgate.

Such aura, infused within the sand, made it so that the sand was not affected by time at all. As such, when used inside an hourglass, it would never be affected by any sort of time manipulation at all.

That made this the perfect tool to measure time, especially during long sessions of cultivation. It would be scarily accurate, and for that alone, Alex bought the Voidsand Hourglass.

It did cost him another 14 thousand Saint Spirit stones, which wasn't cheap.

"How much money do we have?" Alex asked the elder.

"Of the money we brought over, we have about another 50 thousand Saint Spirit stones left," the elder said. "Most of it is in the form of True spirit stones."

"I see," Alex said. "We can buy a few more things for sure then."

On the 24th day came something else that was quite good, which caught Alex's attention. 

Bottomless Jade Flask is what it was introduced as. It was a flask with a vast amount of space inside of it, which could hold in total a million liters of any liquid.

The Flask was advertised as something that could hold a lot of wine, but everyone understood that it could hold any other form of liquid as well.New chapters are published on Novᴇ(l)Fɪre.net

The Flask had the capacity to draw in Qi from the surrounding, enriching the liquid that was inside of it. That made a Spirit wine all the more potent, and it also improved any other forms of liquid.

Alex thought for a bit if the flask was of any importance to him. Because of the nature of the flask, he could see where it could come in handy and desired to buy it.

The bidding started at exactly 10 thousand Saint Spirit stones.
