Chapter 1503 - Heart-Seated Lotus Blossom
Xu Lingxue sat beside Liu Wuxie and pinched him hard, clearly annoyed by whatever had been occupying his mind all day.
"How many astral crystals does it cost? We can pool in with what we have, too," Xu Lingxue said, rolling her eyes at Liu Wuxie and drawing a burst of laughter from everyone nearby.
Compared to the other private rooms, the Heavenly Dao Society's room felt unusually calm and peaceful. The few women quietly scraped together what they had, already planning to buy the Heart-Seated Lotus Blossom.
"No need. Keep your astral crystals for yourselves," Liu Wuxie said. He had no intention of letting them pay when what they had barely sufficed for their own cultivation.
The auction continued, and prices rose noticeably this time. The first item was a long blade with obvious damage, yet it was comparable to the Heaven Gaze Realm at its prime.
Its Heaven Gaze Realm laws remained fairly intact, and an expert at the pinnacle of the Earth Immortal Realm bought it for 250,000 astral crystals. As items got sold, the major sects showed astonishing patience and continued waiting for the prize. During that stretch, a second-tier sect bid once but still walked away empty-handed.
About two hours later, the Heart-Seated Lotus Blossom was finally put up for bidding. The four women grew tense at once, fearing it would be taken by someone else.
They had long hoped to conceive, yet it proved difficult. As Liu Wuxie said, their odds of conceiving would only drop as their cultivation increased.
"The starting bid for this Heart-Seated Lotus Blossom is at one hundred thousand astral crystals, with each increment no less than ten thousand. It can transform the body, especially for female cultivators. After refining it, it could make them even more charming," Elder Wu Hen explained, deliberately saying nothing about improving the chances of conceiving.
The female cultivators instantly went wild, especially the wives of influential figures who decided they would buy the Heart-Seated Lotus Blossom no matter the cost.
"110,000!" A private room near the very end called out the first bid, and the voice sounded like it belonged to the planet lord of a second-tier planet. He had multiple wives, so he likely planned to buy it for them.
"120,000!" A woman in the common area shouted her bid. Her appearance was ordinary, and she wanted the Heart-Seated Lotus Blossom to change that.
