As someone who had once ventured into a Dou Sheng's ruins and witnessed firsthand the terrifying might of a Dou Sheng's methods, Tian Huo Zun Zhe's eyes instantly burned with heat when he heard the words "Dou Sheng".
Back then, he had seen with his own eyes how Dou Zun cultivators were tormented to death by the lingering methods within those ruins.
And those were merely automatic defenses left behind after a Dou Sheng's death, yet already so formidable.
If a Dou Sheng were still alive, he could hardly imagine how terrifyingly powerful they would be!
Feng Qing'er, born of the ancient Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan, also had her beautiful eyes filled with fiery brilliance.
After all, she had once seen a true Dou Sheng within her clan. That kind of soul-deep pressure, even now, still left her somewhat shaken.
"You little lass, this thing that's supposed to be related to a legendary Dou Sheng powerhouse, what exactly is it? Hurry up and spit it out already, stop wasting time!"
After the initial shock, some of the more hot-tempered ones stood up, cursing at the auctioneer below.
"Yeah, if you keep bullshitting, I swear I'll stab my Frozen Sword right up from down here into you!"
It was clear—they were truly desperate to know. Just what kind of thing could possibly be tied to a Dou Sheng, one of those peak existences.
Even Tian Huo Zun Zhe in the VIP room was nodding his head heavily, clearly agreeing with what those people had said.
The auctioneer, seeing the atmosphere had reached its climax, stretched out her hand and lightly gripped the black cloth, then suddenly yanked it away with force.
Beneath the cloth, a transparent crystal box about half a meter long and over thirty centimeters wide was revealed, unsurprisingly drawing the blazing stares of countless eyes.
Under the blazing sun, the crystal box reflected a dazzling, dreamlike radiance.
At that moment, nearly everyone in the auction hall ignored the blinding light, eyes unblinking as they fixed firmly on the box.
Inside the crystal box, a strange faint glow lingered.
Amid that glow, a lump of viscous substance the size of two fists, tinted slightly jade-green, floated in midair without any support.
It even seemed to possess some form of intelligence, as it slowly drifted around inside the box, looking for all the world like a living creature at play.
"That is… Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva!"
Seeing the newly revealed crystal box, Lin Feng abruptly stood up, blurting out in shock.
"And compared to the one we used before, this one is even greater in amount… and far more refined!"
Xiao Yixian's beautiful eyes widened in astonishment as she stared at the emerald liquid, clearly purer than the one they had used previously.
"Tch, I thought it was something amazing. Turns out it's just this scammy thing again. Damn Xuandu Chamber of Commerce, playing these tricks. Tch, had this old man excited for nothing."
Upon seeing the Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva, Tian Huo Zun Zhe instantly turned disappointed, waving his hand angrily as he cursed.
As for Feng Qing'er, her beautiful eyes were also filled with thick disappointment. Their clan too had collected some Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva.
But even their powerful clan elders, despite exhausting every possible method, had never managed to use it to find the legendary Bodhisattva Heart that was said to help one advance to Dou Sheng.
This substance, aside from reshaping the body and improving cultivation aptitude, seemed to have no other use.
If one had to say, then its only real value was in its extreme rarity—suitable to sit in a treasure vault to satisfy a collector's obsession.
Within the hall, other strong cultivators who knew a little about Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva also revealed expressions identical to those of Tian Huo Zun Zhe and Feng Qing'er.
In their eyes, this thing could at best only be used to improve someone's talent.
However, there were always some who liked to gamble, and they were extremely eager to obtain this Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva.
To see whether this thing could really help one find the legendary Bodhisattva Heart that could allow someone to step into the Dou Sheng realm.
"Honored guests, this is the supreme treasure that our Xuandu Chamber of Commerce went through great hardship to obtain, the Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva! It is said that it can lead one to the Bodhisattva Heart!"
"And the Bodhisattva Heart, I trust many of the esteemed guests present have at least heard of it."
"According to legend, within the vast heavens and earth, there exists a mysterious ancient tree called the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree. This tree appears once every thousand years, and it nurtures a heaven-and-earth spirit object known as the Bodhisattva Heart."
"This divine object, if consumed, is said to gradually replace the human heart. That way, even if one's heart were fatally struck, one's life could still be preserved!"
"Most importantly, this thing not only continually nourishes the soul, causing it to grow stronger, but it can also help cultivators below the Dou Sheng realm directly ascend into the Dou Sheng realm!"
"According to ancient records, over ten thousand years ago on the Dou Qi Continent, there was once a Dou Sheng powerhouse named Bodhi Zi, who successfully stepped into the Dou Sheng realm precisely because he had consumed a Bodhisattva Heart!"
"And before obtaining the Bodhisattva Heart, this Dou Sheng expert was merely an ordinary Dou Zun."
The majority of the people in the hall, upon hearing this, had their eyes completely filled with crimson desire.
At this moment, in their eyes there was only that cluster of Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva.
They were all imagining themselves becoming the next lucky one after the Dou Sheng known as Bodhi Zi, who would advance to the Dou Sheng realm by virtue of the Bodhisattva Heart.
The auctioneer, seeing this scene, couldn't help but have the corners of her mouth curl upward uncontrollably.
The more frenzied these people became, the greater the profit their Xuandu Chamber of Commerce would reap.
As for the Bodhisattva Heart itself, heh, their chamber of commerce had already possessed this Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva for decades.
They had tried nearly every possible method.
But this cluster of Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva was like someone with complete indifference.
No matter how passionate one approached it, it gave no response whatsoever. It had angered their president so much that she nearly roasted it with flames.
But considering that using fire to scorch the Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva might damage it, the senior executives of the chamber hurriedly persuaded her.
In the end, under the persuasion of all the high-level members, their president forcibly restrained her fury and had this thing written onto the auction's item list.
Now, they only wanted to get rid of it. Of course, while recovering the cost, they had to ruthlessly fleece these buyers one more time.
As for the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree that was supposed to appear every thousand years, heh... The ancient texts did record it that way, but the reality was—ever since over ten thousand years ago, for reasons unknown, the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree had never again emerged into the world.
To think of finding it now was nothing but a delusion.
"Now then, this Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva, which can lead one to the Bodhisattva Heart, starts at the price of just one seventh-grade pill, or another item of equivalent value!"
"Everyone, begin bidding!"
With that said, the auctioneer lifted the wooden hammer and then brought it down heavily upon the wooden table, shouting loudly.
