Heaven Slaying Blade

"But before that, I would like to ask everyone, what is... the most precious thing in this world?" Fatty Brother, round as a ball, suddenly gets sentimental on the stage, leaving the audience below a bit disoriented.

Wang Dafa heartily says, "Power! Money! Women!"

Although many people think the same, none would say it out loud in public. So, when Wang Dafa speaks, many people snort in disdain.

A pleasant friendly female voice comes from the second floor, "I think, the most precious thing in this world is what you cannot get and what you have lost."

With these words, the entire auction hall becomes silent. Everyone's faces show a thoughtful expression.

Then, everyone can't help but applaud.

What you can't get... what you've lost, makes a lot of sense. It's like a universally recognized maxim!

Wang Dafa sits down awkwardly, grumbling to the two women next to him. "What 'unattainable' and 'already lost'... If you can't get it, don't want it! If you've lost it, forget it! The important thing is to treasure the present and live happily!"

However, almost no one hears Wang Dafa's words, even if they do, they would dismiss it out of hand—what eloquent words can be expected from a bumpkin like you?

Two glamorous women cover their mouths, giggle, and look at Wang Dafa affectionately. Others may not understand Wang Dafa's goodness, but they're extremely clear... behind that mask of a nouveau riche, country bumpkin, lies a clever and powerful man.

Just the lumber king of Yanhuang City? Wrong, he's the lumber king of the entire Great Xia! He's also the shipbuilding king of Great Xia!

What common people have such insight?

However, that young man with a smiling mask is quite impressive...

Fatty Brother on stage sees that the atmosphere is heating up again. He chuckles and says, "The miss on the second floor had a good point. What you cannot get, and what you have lost... What you've lost, even this Fatty Brother cannot help you retrieve. But today, right here, at our auction, some things that cannot be obtained will be auctioned off!"

The entire auction hall, the somewhat noisy first floor, suddenly quiets down.

Nobody needs to quiet them down. They voluntarily shut their mouths, even hold their breaths, and stare at Fatty Brother on the stage like he's a chunk of fat meat!

What you cannot get...

In this world, the things truly unattainable are indeed not many.

There's a saying, 'Money can make the devil turn the millstone.' In the eyes of the rich people of Yanhuang City, there's nothing in the world truly unattainable. But since Fatty Brother dares to say that, he must have his confidence.

It's highly likely that it's those elixirs from the sects. These elixirs can prolong life, enhance physical prowess, and nourish the kidneys... Each one would cause a frenzy among the people.

Seeing the atmosphere has reached a peak, Fatty Brother laughs and says, "When I asked you all earlier about the most precious thing in this world, actually, in my heart, there's an answer already. It's health! You see, my body is almost round like a ball! If it were an ordinary person, they would have been plagued by numerous diseases and perhaps unable to take care of themselves at this point."

Fatty Brother sighs and says thoughtfully, "But to this day, I can still jump around here, serving as an auctioneer for you. You know the reason? Because I have ways to keep myself healthy!"

The auction hall becomes even quieter. Over the years, the high-grade elixirs from sects have made very limited appearances at auctions. And each time these things appear, they trigger a mad scramble. Outside the auction, it also stirs up waves of bloody wind.

Over the years, it's not uncommon for people to lose their lives over these things...

"Do all of you think that today's finale auction item is an elixir?" Fatty Brother laughs mysteriously, "Actually, it's not!"

"Fuck!"

"Damn it!"

"Are they messing with us?"

"Are they playing with us?"

The auction hall, which was as quiet as the grave, suddenly turns into a vegetable market, with many people unable to hold back their curses.

Fatty Brother really had everyone on tenterhooks, and took it to the extreme. He let these people fall from their high expectations into an abyss in an instant. It was no wonder they were cursing him.

Chu Mo couldn't help but shake his head and whisper with a bitter smile, "This guy... he's really asking for it."

Chu Yan also couldn't help but shake her head and remark, "Really, got people so excited, but turned out it wasn't what they expected. Definitely deserves to be scolded!"

At this moment, Fatty Brother on stage chuckled, "Everyone, don't be in a hurry. Listen to me. Today's finale auction item will definitely make everyone happy! Even though it's not an elixir from the sects, its efficacy... is definitely not inferior to any elixir from the sects and could even be stronger!"

With that, the entire noisy hall, filled with curses, came to an abrupt halt.

All eyes were pinned on Fatty Brother, their gazes...once again, heating up.

Fatty Brother finally revealed the mystery and said loudly, "Bring up the treasures from the Fourth-Order Primordial Beast...the Red-eyed Cold Ice Python, for these gentlemen to view!"

A group of robust young men, holding muscles, bones, and skin from the Red-eyed Cold Ice Python, came forward.

Finally, eight men carried the enormous head of the python onto the auction stage.

Boom!

There was a huge commotion in the hall. Everyone couldn't help but let out a low gasp of surprise.

Even though they all knew that the python had been dead for quite some time, the cold aura emanating from the giant python's head still shook them to their cores!

This... was the oppressive power!

Unique to the Fourth-Order Elemental Beast!

Even if it's deceased, its power is still suffocating.

Fatty Brother cautiously approached the huge python head, touched it, and pretended to wipe the sweat from his forehead, saying, "This thing... is really terrifying! Did you see that? A Fourth-Order Primordial Beast! Even amongst the sects, it's a rare sight. The average sect disciple simply doesn't have the strength to hunt down a Primordial Beast of this caliber. Therefore, I said although it's not an elixir, it's superior to elixirs! Any objections?"

The entire hall went silent, no one spoke. The gigantic python head alone was evidence enough.

Any part of a Primordial Beast is a treasure!

It's not too exaggerated to say that if they got their hands on the excrement of a Fourth-Order Primordial Beast, they will treasure it like a priceless artifact!

Not to mention this one on stage, it's a rare Red-eyed Cold Ice Python among the Fourth-Order Primordial Beasts!

"Its scales, if you got three to five pieces and stuck them to your heart-protecting mirror, would at least double your defense!"

"If you made it into soft armor, it would be impenetrable. It's a true life-saving treasure!"

"Its tendons and bones, if used to make wine, would extend your life and strengthen your body, nearly rendering you immune to all illness!"

"Tell me, if this is not a treasure... then what can be considered a treasure?"

"Six to seven years ago, the army hunted down a Red-eyed Cold Ice Python. It caused such a sensation that even people in the sects participated in the competition for it. Before that, we in Yanhuang City had never seen such a thing! After that, no other instances have occurred."

"Today... it's here again! Are you going to miss it again?"

Fatty Brother, standing on the stage, was almost flying spray as he talked, hyping up the Fourth-Order Primordial Beast to the point it sounded more like a Ninth-Order Primordial Beast.

Chu Mo was somewhat astonished listening and he made a face, clearly unimpressed.

But in the entire auction hall, nearly all the people, including Chu Yan and Miao Yi Niang next to him, were all panting, their eyes glued to the pile of materials on the stage that exuded a chilling, terrifying aura.

Chu Mo was somewhat dazed, mumbling to himself, "Is it really that good?" (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to Qidian(qidian.com) to vote for it, and to support me, which is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
