440: Chapter 440 The Origin of Earthly Spirit Essence, Sudden Enlightenment!

"The nine-hundredth auction item, one Earth Spirit Marrow Origin, can help Cultivators below the Sixth Tribulation Law Realm quickly condense Law power and achieve a Breakthrough in cultivation! If a Cultivator in the Sixth Tribulation Law Realm is stuck at a Bottleneck, using this item offers a twenty percent chance to break through that Bottleneck!"

"The starting bid is one Origin Stone. Let the bidding begin; the highest bidder wins."

As an ice-crystal jade marrow, only the size of a fist and resting in a jade container, was brought up, the ten thousand Cultivators sitting in the front rows perked up.

"It's actually the Earth Spirit Marrow Origin! Judging by this aura, it must be over tens of thousands of years old. If I refine it, my cultivation will definitely have a Breakthrough!"

"I bid three hundred million Origin Stones!"

"This kind of Earth Spirit Marrow Origin is rare to see. To encounter it once in a lifetime is extremely fortunate. I must acquire it! I bid five hundred million!"

"Five hundred eighty million!"

"Six hundred million!"

Voices rose and fell throughout the auction house. Soon, the price of the Earth Spirit Marrow Origin soared past one billion Origin Stones and continued to rise rapidly.

Almost everyone calling out bids was a Law Realm Cultivator. Many large Families also entered the bidding, perhaps hoping to win it for a Law Realm Prodigy within their clan.

This Earth Spirit Marrow Origin practically guaranteed the creation of a Venerable Realm Cultivator. For those stuck at the Fifth Tribulation Law Realm, this treasure was more precious than any other.

"This thing is quite good. Bai Luoshui, if you refine it, can you achieve a Breakthrough to the Second Tribulation Realm?"

Mo Tianxiao asked Bai Luoshui.

Bai Luoshui looked at him, her expression slightly excited. "If I can refine this item, I guarantee I can achieve a Breakthrough! Young Miss, are you planning to buy this for me?"

Mo Tianxiao nodded, a smile on his face, and said grandly: "Since you are my guard, the stronger your strength, the happier I am."

Immediately, Mo Tianxiao raised his paddle and said calmly: "1.5 billion."

"This Senior bids 1.5 billion. Are there any higher bids?"

Su Muxue looked at Mo Tianxiao, maintaining a faint smile.

Although many people participated in the auction, there were only over a thousand items. Being able to successfully win one item was already quite good, but this Young Miss had already won several items, spending several billion Origin Stones in total.

Such wealth made her a standout among the Cultivators, naturally leaving an impression on Su Muxue.

"I didn't expect Boss Mo to be so capable. I, Sun, underestimated you earlier." Sun Linzhou said with a smile.

Mo Tianxiao waved his hand. "Just doing some small business. I don't have much savings. After winning a few items, my savings are almost bottoming out."

"1.6 billion."

At this moment, another calm voice rang out. The bidder was located in front of Mo Tianxiao, indicating that the other party had been invited by the Divine Treasure Pavilion, likely either a powerful Loose Cultivator or a major force.

Sun Linzhou smiled. "It seems it won't be easy for Boss Mo to win this Earth Spirit Marrow Origin. It looks like this Zhao Family is also interested in the Earth Spirit Marrow Origin."

"1.7 billion."

Mo Tianxiao calmly raised his paddle, continuing to increase the bid, and then asked Sun Linzhou: "What can you tell me about this Zhao Family you mentioned, Fellow Daoist Sun?"

Sun Linzhou said: "I have spent years cultivating at Divine Sword Mountain, so I don't know much about external forces. I only heard of this Zhao Family recently."

"The Zhao Family is one of the major Families in the Western Wasteland World. I heard that a Disciple of this Zhao Family who was traveling abroad recently achieved a Breakthrough to the Seventh Tribulation Law Realm. This means the Zhao Family will produce at least one more Spirit Dao Supreme Realm expert. This is quite a big deal; it even reached my Divine Sword Mountain."

"1.8 billion." The person from the Zhao Family spoke again, their tone still as calm as water.

"1.9 billion." Mo Tianxiao also calmly raised his paddle.

Hearing what Sun Linzhou said, this Zhao Family was likely the Family of Alliance Leader Zhao Qiu from the Guixu Heavenly Domain. He didn't expect this Zhao Family to also come to the Divine Treasure Pavilion to attend the auction.

"Fellow Daoist Sun, is the Seventh Tribulation Law Realm truly so extraordinary?"

Sun Linzhou smiled amusedly. "If judged by the strength of the major forces, the Seventh Tribulation Law Realm signifies a Spirit Dao Supreme Realm expert."

"As the number one force in the Eastern Wasteland Realm and the strongest Sword Cultivator Sect in the entire Guixu Heavenly Domain, Divine Sword Mountain only has the seven Peak Masters above the Spirit Dao Supreme Realm. Thus, one can see that a Spirit Dao Supreme is already a rare Prodigy. However, in my opinion, it is just so-so."

Mo Tianxiao laughed. "As expected of Fellow Daoist Sun. I admire such spirit."

He naturally believed every word of the Child of Destiny. Moreover, this was a Mortal Child of Destiny, which was different from other Children of Destiny he had encountered before. It seemed this was no ordinary Child of Destiny.

"Hehe, Boss Mo, let me tell you a secret: I have a sword technique that can slay a Supreme."

Sun Linzhou had a cheeky look on his face, but his expression didn't seem like he was lying.

When these words were spoken, Mo Tianxiao didn't change his expression, but Bai Luoshui, who was beside him, couldn't help but chuckle.

"Hey, hey, Fellow Daoist Bai, don't disbelieve me. I'm telling the truth. It's just that when I unleash this sword strike, although it can slay a Supreme, I will also die. Boss Mo, you definitely wouldn't judge someone by their appearance, right? You must believe in my strength, right?"

"I believe, I naturally believe. From the first moment I saw Fellow Daoist Sun, I knew that Fellow Daoist Sun was not a person who would remain in the pond for long." Mo Tianxiao said calmly.

"2 billion."

"2.5 billion."

At this moment, another faction spoke up, joining the fray and competing with the Zhao Family.

After hearing Mo Tianxiao's words, Sun Linzhou was stunned at first, then acted as if he had met a soulmate. "I knew Boss Mo was not an ordinary person!"

"The world cannot see through me; only those old guys at Divine Sword Mountain barely believe me. Only Boss Mo believed in me so much upon our first meeting. You are truly my soulmate. I get it now, Boss Mo must also understand the sword! And you understand the sword even better than those old guys at Divine Sword Mountain! Only someone who understands the sword can understand me!"

Sun Linzhou muttered to himself as if he had fallen into an Epiphany. Sword Intent surged around his body, and his aura was quite sharp, though it was suppressed within a very small area.

If not for Mo Tianxiao being close by, he probably wouldn't have been able to detect that Sun Linzhou, a Mortal without the slightest cultivation, actually possessed such terrifying Sword Intent!

As expected of a Child of Destiny, different from ordinary people.

Snap!

Sun Linzhou suddenly opened his eyes, a flash of sword light shooting from them. He said joyfully: "I've realized another sword strike! Boss Mo, you really are my soulmate!"

"In such a short time together, you helped me realize a new sword strike. You are not a gentleman by status, yet your demeanor far exceeds that of a gentleman! Boss Mo, this sword strike was realized because of you, so I shall name it the Gentleman Sword!"

Mo Tianxiao was left a bit bewildered by Sun Linzhou's excited attitude. What nonsense about gentlemanly demeanor? He was just a low-tier Villain; how did he get linked to a gentleman?

However, looking at Sun Linzhou's appearance, he seemed to have gained quite a bit. To have an Epiphany just by attending an auction—he was truly an extraordinary Child of Destiny!

"Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Sun on your Epiphany."

Sun Linzhou was in a very good mood. He cupped his hands toward Mo Tianxiao. "This is all thanks to Boss Mo. If there is a chance, I will definitely demonstrate this Gentleman Sword for Boss Mo to see in the future."

"Easy to say, easy to say." Mo Tianxiao responded with a forced smile, then turned his attention back to the auction.

At this moment, the price of the Earth Spirit Marrow Origin had reached 8 billion. The number of factions and Families bidding gradually increased, which showed that this item was indeed very precious.
