With Fang Hong’s current Cultivation realm, tenth-grade immortal artifacts no longer caught his eye, so he naturally wouldn’t participate in this bidding.

However, the auction starting with a tenth-grade immortal artifact as the first item still surprised Fang Hong slightly.

Such a grand gesture was enough to show that the scale of this auction was not low.

This made Fang Hong even more expectant of the upcoming auction items.

The price of the Lightning Immortal Sword continued to climb, quickly breaking the three million Immortal Stone mark.

Just as everyone thought the price would continue to rise, a middle-aged man suddenly stood up and shouted loudly:

"Three million one hundred and fifty thousand Immortal Stones!"

After this bid, the previously noisy bidding instantly ceased, and the scene became much quieter.

Everyone present looked at the middle-aged man, their eyes filled with surprise.

Three million one hundred and fifty thousand, this price was already quite high for a Grand Unity Cultivator.

Many Cultivators who had intended to raise the price hesitated, beginning to reconsider.

Wang Xiangming’s gaze swept over the crowd, and he asked loudly, "Three million one hundred and fifty thousand Immortal Stones, once! Is there any other Fellow Daoist who wishes to raise the price?"

Seeing no one respond, he spoke again, "Three million one hundred and fifty thousand Immortal Stones, twice!"

The hall remained silent; no one raised their bidding paddle again.

"Good! Three million one hundred and fifty thousand Immortal Stones, thrice!"

"This Lightning Immortal Sword now belongs to this Fellow Daoist!" Wang Xiangming hammered down, announcing the final result.

A satisfied smile immediately appeared on the middle-aged man’s face, and he promptly took out a storage bag, handing it to Wang Xiangming.

Wang Xiangming took the storage bag, quickly inspected it with his Divine Sense, confirmed that the quantity of Immortal Stones inside was sufficient and the quality was correct, then waved his hand, sending the Lightning Immortal Sword to the middle-aged man.

Immortal Stones for goods.

The entire transaction process was swift and smooth, without any delay.

After auctioning the Lightning Immortal Sword, Wang Xiangming wasted no time and immediately began introducing the second auction item.

The second item was also a tenth-grade immortal artifact, a long saber shimmering with a chilly aura.

Following the previous procedure, Wang Xiangming meticulously described the material and power of the Ice Long Saber, then announced a starting bid of one million Immortal Stones.

The Cultivators present remained highly enthusiastic, and many who were interested in ice-attribute Immortal Artifacts eagerly began bidding.

The price continued to rise, and the fervent atmosphere on site showed no signs of diminishing.

Fang Hong remained steadily seated in his chair, watching the auction on stage with a calm expression, patiently waiting.

He wanted to see if any treasures that could truly move him would appear later.

Not just Fang Hong, but the other five Immortal Emperors beside him also remained silent, not bidding.

Evidently, for them, who had already reached the Immortal Emperor Realm, tenth-grade immortal artifacts were of little use.

Having Cultivated to the Immortal Emperor Realm, they were certainly equipped with several powerful Dao Artifacts, and naturally wouldn’t care for these Immortal Artifacts... As time slowly passed, Wang Xiangming auctioned off tenth-grade immortal artifacts one after another.

Each one drew fierce bidding from the Cultivators below the stage, making the scene exceptionally lively.

By the final count, no less than fifteen tenth-grade immortal artifacts were auctioned, showing the profound heritage of this auction.

After all fifteen Immortal Artifacts were auctioned off, Wang Xiangming changed the topic and began introducing various rare immortal herbs.

These immortal herbs were diverse, and Fang Hong finally showed some interest, his gaze becoming more focused.

However, to Fang Hong’s slight disappointment, Wang Xiangming successively auctioned several immortal herbs, which were either ones he already possessed or ones that were of no help to his current Cultivation realm.

There was simply no treasure that could truly catch his eye.

Just as Fang Hong’s anticipation gradually faded, even turning into some disappointment, Wang Xiangming suddenly took out an ancient wooden potted plant.

The potted plant was not large, containing a small sapling less than three feet tall.

The leaves of this small sapling were extremely peculiar; the upper surface was emerald green, like fine jade.

And the underside of the leaves was a vibrant fiery red, like burning flames, dazzling and brilliant.

Even more peculiar was that the entire sapling was surrounded by a faint halo, constantly flowing, clearly not an ordinary tree.

Upon seeing this peculiar small sapling, Fang Hong, who had always been calm, instantly lit up, a smile curling at the corner of his lips.

Finally, he had encountered something that could truly move him!

Wang Xiangming, full of vigor, began to introduce it to everyone:

"The next auction item we are presenting is an extremely special sapling, its name is the Three-Patterned Flat Peach Tree."

As soon as his voice fell, everyone’s gaze below the stage converged on the inconspicuous small sapling in the center of the display stand.

"This tree takes ten thousand years to grow and bear a One-Patterned Flat Peach, twenty thousand years for a Two-Patterned Flat Peach, and thirty thousand years for a Three-Patterned Flat Peach."

"Refining a Flat Peach can save a hundred years of arduous Cultivation, with effects comparable to a dao pill." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"Moreover, the more patterns a Flat Peach has, the stronger the immortal power it contains."

"Even for powerhouses at the Immortal Emperor level, a Three-Patterned Flat Peach offers immense benefits!"

When Wang Xiangming introduced the crucial points, he specifically glanced at Fang Hong and the others seated in the front row, clearly hoping to pique the interest of these Immortal Emperor powerhouses.

However, to Wang Xiangming’s surprise, after he finished his introduction, the atmosphere on site was not as enthusiastic as expected.

Everyone’s faces showed strange expressions, clearly not optimistic about this sapling.

The effects of the Three-Patterned Flat Peach were indeed alluring; no Cultivator present could deny this.

But the sapling on the display stand looked less than a year old, very tender.

To wait for it to bear Three-Patterned Flat Peaches would require a full thirty thousand years.

Who would be willing to spend such a long time cultivating a sapling?

Rather than bitterly waiting for thirty thousand years, it would be better to seek other more direct and effective methods to improve one’s cultivation.

Not to mention a Three-Patterned Flat Peach that takes thirty thousand years to bear fruit, even fruits that only take a thousand years to harvest were considered too long by everyone, not worth investing so much effort.

Therefore, the enthusiasm of everyone present for this Three-Patterned Flat Peach Tree sapling was generally low.

Most felt it was tasteless to eat and a pity to discard, purely a chicken rib-like existence.

Just as everyone was losing interest, Fang Hong, seated in the front row, felt a surge of joy in his heart.

A thirty-thousand-year growth cycle might seem impossibly long to others.

But Fang Hong possessed the years pearl, a supreme treasure; by placing the sapling in the years pearl’s space, one year would allow the immortal herb to complete thirty thousand years of growth.

In other words, as long as Fang Hong could win this sapling, he would be able to taste the Three-Patterned Flat Peach within a year, and the improvement of his cultivation would naturally be just around the corner.

Fang Hong was determined to obtain this sapling.
