"Alright. Let's sit down. There are too many people, soon there won't be any seats available." Wang Xiaoqiang pulled Fairy Zixia to sit down. Ding Chunqiu was perceptive; seeing the two in close affection, he didn't sit with them and found another empty seat to sit down.

Just after the three sat down, ten members of the Feng'er family also sat down behind them.

At this time, people continued to enter and take their seats; most took seats on the first floor, some paid to buy peace on the second floor, and some paid to buy comfort on the third floor.

When the seats at the auction were full, the auction began. This auction was not only for that 'Immortal Artifact,' but also some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, precious pills, Magic Treasure Immortal Swords, and the skin and bones of Divine Beasts to be auctioned. The highly anticipated Immortal Artifact became the finale item of the auction, saved for last.

Soon, the auction started...

A silver-white Immortal Sword named 'Singing Moon' was auctioned off,

A Purple Reverting Pill was auctioned off,

A skin of a One-armed Dragon was also auctioned off...

The auctioned prices often reached several thousand Golden Silk, quite expensive. Wang Xiaoqiang wanted to bid, but was embarrassed by his empty pockets, ultimately could only be an audience rather than a bidder.

...

After the One-armed Dragon skin was auctioned off, the auctioneer on stage took out a Brocade Box, opened it, revealing a white pill inside with jade-like radiance flowing, exceptionally mysterious.

"Now for auction is a Jade Pill, made from Immortal Jade and refined with Immortal Fire, it can improve a cultivator's aptitude. Even if you are a mere stone, consuming this Jade Pill can change you into a splendid jade. Jade Pill, base price one thousand Golden Silk, auction begins..."

A seat on the second floor had a young man sitting there, his cultivation base at the Great Luo Golden Immortal Third Liquid Realm, with an elder of the Great Luo Golden Immortal Sixth Liquid Realm sitting beside him.

This elder looked over two hundred years old; he said to the young man beside him, "Sky Obscuring, help me bid on this Jade Pill."

"Yes." The youth, Sky Obscuring Lord, replied.

After a round of bidding, the Jade Pill was finally won by Sky Obscuring Lord at a price of eight thousand Golden Silk. When Sky Obscuring Lord handed the box containing the Jade Pill to the elder, the elder gazed at the Jade Pill with delight and expectation, saying, "With this Jade Pill, I believe my child Wuhen's aptitude will improve, alas, in cultivation, aptitude is truly important..."

Sky Obscuring Lord's bold purchase of the Jade Pill naturally drew attention,

At this moment, Wang Xiaoqiang followed everyone's eyes to the second floor, quickly spotting Sky Obscuring Lord. Seeing Sky Obscuring Lord, Wang Xiaoqiang was excited, thinking to himself, enemies are bound to meet, finally I encounter you, alright, Sky Obscuring Lord, your end has come...

...

After an hour of auction, the event finally approached its end. At this point, a large Immortal Artifact was brought up, its bronze color, square, two ears, four legs, resembling a cauldron. It somewhat had the flavor of the Simuwu Ding.

On the Immortal Artifact, inscriptions were carved.

At the center, a woman was sculpted.

Her long hair flowed, her long dress fluttered, with an extraordinary fairy-like beauty, very graceful and lifelike, as if ready to come alive at any moment.

Everyone from the first, second, and third floors focused their gaze on this Immortal Artifact, feeling a substantial and mighty force contained within,

Wang Xiaoqiang also stared at this Immortal Artifact, feeling like it was an atomic bomb, with limitless power.

The auctioneer gently tapped the ear of the Immortal Artifact with his finger, and it emitted a soft "clang" sound, barely audible, yet the echo persisted, growing louder until it was like a warning bell, "clang," making everyone's heart tremble, those with weaker cultivation bases instantly froze, with wandering spirits, as if their Three Souls and Seven Spirits were startled out.

A mere tap can produce such power, showing how immense the power of this Immortal Artifact is.

Once everyone regained their senses, the auctioneer spoke, "This Immortal Artifact, named Divine Maiden's Cauldron, is a powerful Immortal Artifact that can serve as a sect's treasure, as a clan's treasure, or even as a tribal safeguard treasure... Divine Maiden's Cauldron, base price eighty thousand Golden Silk, auction begins..."

"Ah, this Immortal Artifact is good. Quite powerful..."

"Just too expensive, no one can afford it."

"Yes, a Tribal Leader's annual income is only about ten thousand Golden Silk; eighty thousand would consume earnings from eight years; it's not worth it..."

"Correct, with eighty thousand Golden Silk, spending on cultivation resources to improve the cultivation base is more worthwhile, only a stronger self is truly strong, relying on an Immortal Artifact is not a lasting strategy..."

"Agreed, I suspect this auction is just creating hype to attract people; they might not even intend to sell this Divine Maiden's Cauldron…"

"Makes sense…"

The auction site was filled with discussions, yet no bids were made.

The auctioneer wasn't hurried, slowly saying, "According to legend, ten thousand years ago, a Tribal King's wife gave birth to a daughter. This daughter grew up sweet and lovely, like a little Princess, deeply loved by the Tribal King…

At seventeen, she grew even more beautiful, her name renowned within and outside the tribe, revered as a Goddess, but unfortunately, this Goddess died of illness at eighteen. The Tribal King was overcome with grief, crying continuously for three days. A mysterious old man arrived at the tribe, who stopped the Tribal Leader's sorrow with one sentence…"

The Tribal Leader immediately transformed his grief into strength, following the mysterious old man's guidance, started ordering the casting of a cauldron. Half a year later, the cauldron was completed, with inscriptions and the image of the Tribal Leader's daughter Goddess sculpted on it…

For the next ten years, the mysterious old man used the secret spell daily to take Essence Blood from the Tribal Leader and his wife to nurture this cauldron, refining it into an Immortal Artifact. Another ten years later, the Artifact Spirit on it activated, and the Goddess resurrected in the form of an Artifact Spirit…"

By then, the Tribal Leader and his wife were old and nearing their end, but could see their deceased daughter again in their lifetime, with no more regrets…

That autumn, war broke out, the tribe repeatedly faced attacks, but in each moment of impending annihilation, they survived under the protection of the Immortal Artifact Divine Maiden's Cauldron…"

I tell this story to show everyone, Immortal Artifacts are hard to come by, all Immortal Artifacts' power is gradually condensed over years of refining. Divine Maiden's Cauldron endured ten thousand years to attain such power, while those capable of guarding entire 'domains' take a hundred thousand years to refine…"

Of course, Divine Maiden's Cauldron not only has great power, but also one wonderful advantage: possessing this cauldron allows one to see the Tribal Leader's daughter from ten thousand years ago - 'Goddess,' to live and dine with her…" (To be continued.
