Three Pure Green Spirit Lotus

"Is this true?" An ethereal voice echoed throughout the hall, making it impossible to distinguish whether the speaker was male or female.

The blond youth nodded faintly. Receiving his signal, Ghost Douluo spoke up, "Naturally."

"The item is yours." Following that, there was no further sound.

Manager He on the auction stage stood stunned for a few seconds, his gaze darting helplessly toward a certain direction on the second floor. Only after receiving Drell's nod did he strike the gavel.

"Let us congratulate the honored guest on the third floor for winning this rare medicine!"

For a moment, thunderous applause erupted throughout the hall.

Qingxi slowly opened her eyes and gathered the copper coins from the sofa table. She tilted her head and looked through the gap in the window toward that private box.

"Master." Qingxi withdrew her gaze, only to see Dugu Yan knitting her willow-leaf brows and pouting at her. "You were the one who sold that medicinal pill, weren't you?"

Dugu Yan didn't believe anyone else could refine such a miraculous pill besides her.

"I was just short on money." Qingxi shrugged, looking quite helpless.

"What else did you sell?" Dugu Yan leaned forward, drawing closer to Qingxi; she had clearly heard that there were two items.

"A spirit bone."

"Pfft..." Dugu Bo spat out the tea he had just taken into his mouth, looking at the nonchalant girl with astonishment.

Was she unaware of how precious a spirit bone was?

"You... you spendthrift..." Dugu Yan pointed at her, so angry she could barely get the words out. She then slumped onto the sofa, looking as if life had lost all meaning.

Qingxi thought for a moment, then pulled two small medicine bottles from her storage bag. She tossed one to Dugu Bo and the other into Dugu Yan's lap.

"How can this be, young lady... This is too precious." Dugu Bo looked at the small porcelain bottle, identical to the one on the auction stage below, and realized what it was. He hurriedly refused, intending to return the bottle to Qingxi.

"It's fine. Aren't we family? These two are of the highest quality; one for each of you. Just remember to keep it a secret. It's best to take them somewhere secluded." She said dismissively; it was just a trivial little trick to her anyway.

If the function of the Origin Spirit Liquid was to strengthen the upper limit of one's cultivation talent, then the Evolution Pill's purpose was to break through the limits of one's martial soul bloodline.

Having taken both of these medicines, even she couldn't calculate what heights they might reach in the future.

"Can this thing really evolve a martial soul?" Dugu Yan stared at the small bottle in her hand, her eyes sparkling. This was worth two hundred million gold soul coins!

"It won't kill you, at least."

"This... thank you, young lady," Dugu Bo said in gratitude.

"The next item up for auction is a special immortal herb." On the auction stage, the man continued to introduce the next item, and immediately, a lotus flower appeared before everyone's eyes.

It was a lotus root that looked like white jade, emitting wisps of cold air. Three lotus flowers grew from the root; one had already bloomed into a pale green flower, while the other two had yet to open. They swayed gently in the breeze, releasing a faint, refreshing lotus fragrance that cleared the mind.

"This is a ten-thousand-year-old Twin-Flower Three-Life Lotus, brought back from the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest by a soul master nearing the Title Douluo level. However, that soul master was hunted by soul beasts because of it and had to sever his own arm to survive. Suffering from a lethal poison and at death's door, he consumed a single petal and miraculously regrew his severed arm, returning from the brink of death and even healing his hidden injuries..."

"This Twin-Flower Three-Life Lotus is perfectly preserved with excellent medicinal properties. The starting bid is five million gold soul coins, with each increment no less than one hundred thousand gold soul coins."

"Such rich life energy..."

"Returning from the brink of death?"

"Five million five hundred thousand."

"Five million six hundred thousand."

This time, no one on the first floor of the hall even placed a bid; those calling out prices were basically all from the second and third floors.

"Six million." Qingxi also placed a bid, but she was immediately outbid.

"Ten million." Ning Fengzhi spoke with the confidence of great wealth, nearly doubling the price in an instant.

"A ten-thousand-year immortal herb? It's not even as good as the ones in my own herb garden. If you like it, young lady, you can just pick one," Dugu Bo said, hands behind his back. Watching everyone scramble for that immortal herb, he found it quite ordinary.

After all, his granddaughter had told him how precious their family's herb garden was. They already had over a dozen ten-thousand-year immortal herbs, not to mention one that rivaled a hundred-thousand-year-old supreme immortal herb.

Therefore, he didn't think much of this Twin-Flower Three-Life Lotus.

"This is a Three Pure Green Spirit Lotus. It mostly grows in the Jade Pool of the Heavenly Realm. It takes ten thousand years to sprout, ten thousand years to grow, and ten thousand years to bloom. Its flowering period can last for a hundred thousand years. Look at those two buds; they are another ten thousand years old. Its aura is restrained and full of vitality. This is a divine spirit flower of thirty to fifty thousand years. I never expected to see one in this world." Qingxi watched the auction below with great interest, her expression one of absolute determination.

"The Shennong Herb Classic (Volume I) records that the Three Pure Green Spirit Lotus has the effects of rebirth, soul condensation, resurrection, and evil purification. It is a rare divine lotus. Born in the Jade Pool, it is an essential material for refining the ninth-grade Flying Immortal Pill. However, our world has no Jade Pool. Master, is the Flying Immortal Pill useful for a soul master's breakthrough?" Dugu Yan asked.

The first volume of the Shennong Herb Classic recorded one thousand types of immortal and divine herbs, while the second volume contained alchemy theory, including three thousand large and small pill recipes. The Flying Immortal Pill was listed at the very end, serving as a crucial advancement pill for cultivators reaching another level.

Perhaps this item was common in her master's world, but here, this was the first time Dugu Yan had ever seen a Three Pure Green Spirit Lotus. If not for her master, she wouldn't have even made the connection.

"I don't know about that, but the materials for the Flying Immortal Pill are extremely difficult to find. It requires ten thousand types of ordinary herbs, including five types of immortal-grade herbs. In the Ice and Fire Spirit Pool, I only saw one Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red. Adding this Three Pure Green Spirit Lotus, there are three more... all of which are extremely precious herbs." Besides, even she couldn't refine a Flying Immortal Pill.

"But the Three Pure Green Spirit Lotus isn't just for refining Flying Immortal Pills; it's also an important material for Soul-Splitting Pills and Spirit-Fusion Pills," Qingxi said, counting on her fingers.

For a mortal to become an immortal is inherently difficult; out of ten thousand cultivators, it is hard to find even one who succeeds.

Success depends on talent and opportunity. Thus, ten thousand years ago, Shennong tasted a hundred herbs and created a special type of pill to increase the chances of a cultivator successfully passing their tribulation.

The most special of these was the Flying Immortal Pill, and currently, only the Three Stars Cave still possessed the recipe.

"Grandfather, how about we buy it back and plant it in our herb garden?" Dugu Yan tugged on Dugu Bo's sleeve, acting spoiled.

"Our family doesn't have that much money." Dugu Bo rubbed his nose, watching the price of the spirit flower below soar to fifty million. Even he felt a bit of greed.

The Dugu family only rose to prominence in Dugu Bo's generation, and he was not a man who coveted wealth, so the Dugu family was, in some respects, not particularly wealthy.

"Don't worry, I have it." Qingxi patted her shoulder, then shouted out the window, "One hundred and fifty million gold soul coins."

The previous medicinal pills had sold for two hundred million, and there was still one spirit bone left to be auctioned, which was likely being held as the finale. The duke had mentioned that it should fetch around two hundred million as well.

In other words, she currently had four hundred million, but after deducting the massive amount of medicinal herbs and silver metal she had asked the duke to acquire for her, she would likely spend over a hundred million gold soul coins.

Therefore, Qingxi directly tripled the price. Such an overbearing move would make some people shrink back, leaving only those who truly desired the item.

"Master, you..." Dugu Yan stared at the young girl beside her, dumbfounded. Who the hell triples the price the moment they open their mouth?

"The Three Pure Green Spirit Lotus is the finale of today's auction, after all. Most of the factions that came here tonight are here for it!" Dugu Bo spoke up from the side.

A treasure capable of bringing the dead back to life was something no Title Douluo would ever let slip through their fingers.
